Best of luck! But hopefully he sticks around long enough so that his last credited game doesn’t have a title that requires you to take a large breath mid-sentence
Nintendo, please! I know somewhere in that greedy, soulless, money-loving, penny-pinching, lawsuit-launching, patent-filing, corporatey corporate soul of yours is a heart of gold that does somewhat care about its fans. So please, don’t listen to them!
@Nintendofanatic994 @ChaoticIgnorance I was mostly jabbing at the key-hard fearers, but I still thought it appropriate to mention Pokopia since it is somewhat linked to Nintendo. People saw that and immediately started to act like Nintendo was slowly going to release more and more key card games. I personally never had any concern about this or any other 1st party game being a key card release.
@ChaoticIgnorance Pokémon Pokopia is a Nintendo game (they are a part of The Pokémon Company) and that was a key card. It’s unlikely they’ll do another key-card release, but the fear mongers will always be lurking
@Kingy Capcom released a bajillion versions of Street Fighter 2 back in the grand ol’ 90s, so does that mean Capcom is creatively bankrupt? No. They still release fun and creative games to this day. So why does Nintendo doing the same for one specific franchise mean they have absolutely no new ideas in general? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say
@Kingy I mean…half of the games in the Star Fox franchise are the same thing, story and all. All this is doing is continuing that. If this does well, then we’ll see a brand new game
Use Nintendo Today for overviews and smaller things, keep Directs for the things that need full presentations on. It would be very underwhelming if the next traditional 3D Super Mario, Super Smash Bros., or Animal Crossing were to be announced via Nintendo Today. It would also be underwhelming if games that we already know everything about or look the same as every other game in their respective genre were still present in the Directs. Strike a balance
@Misima So you basically own it as long as you don’t freaking do something illegal with it, because that’s pretty much the only situation where your license will get suspended
This is so stupid. I’m speaking towards both Pokémon fans and scalpers. Seriously? Scalping themed snacks or paying twice as much for them on the second hand market? I don’t get it. But hey, maybe I’m just out of the loop
@Automated_Unit_4937 That’s not what they were doing. They were asking Nintendo to sell them Wiis for less than everyone else so that they could get an edge over the competition. In other words, they wanted NoA to backstab the other retailers so that Amazon could make a bigger profit
@Tasuki What the actual frick are you talking about? Did you just see the headline and immediately go “oh, it’s that guy I hate” and then proceed to write your comment without reading the article? How is this a screw-up on Reggie’s end?
@TheBigK I mean, they did attack SML and SMG4 (which is ending, though I think that was a personal decision). It’s not like they’re cherry picking, it just happens to be whoever flies within their radar
@NintendoWife I could easily see a Donkey Kong movie being the next Minecraft Movie. Just throw in as many stupid DK Rap and cartoon references/jokes and it’d be a winner.
The Hotel Mario Movie, with a live-action Link: The Faces of Evil to follow it. We can finally hear “I hope she made lotsa spaghetti” and “SQUADALA! We are off” in the theatre.
@LikelySatan Yeah, perfectly fine if it doesn’t click with you. Some mechanics frustrate me as well. Just thought it was funny that someone could disregard it so bravely when nearly everyone else claims that it’s one of the masterpieces of gaming.
@Anti-Matter It costs over 20 bucks a month to do that in the US. And it’s not even official, meaning they can remove the videos if they try hard enough. No thanks. Sticking to Spotify and Nintendo Music (yes, I actually like that service)
Does it even make a difference? It’s Mario, for heaven’s sake! Who cares if Peach and Rosalina are siblings? I’ll take it over Peach and Luigi being Rosalina’s parents
Almost feels like they were planning on releasing the Switch 2 this year but decided they could get away with releasing it a year earlier. We’re actually getting Switch 2 games!
Great game at its core (the people who think it’s terrible obviously have no souls). It can get a little repetitive, and the “wish” mechanic is a little annoying (it would be nice if we had the option to purchase level-up gifts or items to use on the island without having to essentially grind warm fuzzies to level-up), but it’s incredibly charming and hilarious. Solid 8/10 for me.

Re: Talking Point: Star Fox Old Vs. New Designs Compared - Which Do You Prefer?
Fox - the Donkey Kong redesign of the bunch. Looks jarring at first, but I can see myself preferring it over time
Falco - honestly, looks epic
Slippy - I just said “screw it” and picked the N64 design because I thought it would be funny
Peppy - new design all the way. Fits the character far better
Arwing - …
Android - love it. Simply love it
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Star Fox For Switch 2?
@YANDMAN So you’re saying that I should find out if a game is worth buying and playing…by buying and playing it?

Re: Star Fox Is Finally Getting Another Game, Out June 2026 Exclusively On Switch 2
1. A new Star Fox game? Yay! Oh, it’s a remake of 64. Even though it has the same name as the SNES original…ok.
2. Character designs are jarring at first, but they do look nice once you get used to them.
3. $50? Can’t say I’m complaining.
4. The F-Zero community must be devastated
