Just wanted to come back to this and share info on something that just happened. So I got an email from Nintendo, about my Switch 2 registration, and it said… I was still in the queue, and that I should still keep an eye out for an invitation. Nintendo, you stinky dirty filthy fricken gosh darn backstabbing backstabber 😂
Also, on Nintendo Today, they had a little character bio on DK, but he had his previous design. Make up your minds, Nintendo. You scared of your fans or not?
Nintendo: makes a numbered sequel to one of their consoles for the first time
Also Nintendo: names the first sequel to their hit animated family movie after the fourth/fifth/sixth game in the series.
@Sine The chip being finalized has nothing to do with actual consoles being produced. Why would they have a bunch of Switch 2s sitting in a warehouse in 2021 if they didn’t plan on selling them until 2025?
@RiasGremory I was joking and referring to the fact that apparently Nintendo used to require third party developers to go through a ton of hoops in order to get their games on the NES/FC. In terms of the cartridge situation right now, I have no idea who’s to blame.
@joeyflannel The current state of each Mega Man:
Classic - unknown, but likely in a secret lab somewhere
X - is a NetNavi now
Zero (he’s a Mega Man to me) - is hiding himself while repairing himself because he’s basically robot Jesus
Volnutt/Trigger - is stuck on Elysium
Juno - who?
.EXE - I don’t know
Harpuia (yes, he counts) - whereabouts unknown but I know he’s definitely not dead
Fefnir (he counts too) -same as Harpuia
Leviathan (she counts) -same as Harpuia and Fefnir
Phantom - I have no idea whether he’s dead or just stuck in the cyber-verse with his dad and possibly great (x30) grandpa
There are like a bajillion Mega Men in the ZX series, but I’ll try to remember them all
Vent - is leading the Guardians (in his story)/whereabouts unknown (in Aile’s)
Aile - leading the Guardians (in her story)/whereabouts unknown (in Vent’s)
Giro - is a cyber-elf
Serpent - is dead
Albert - is dead but probably not actually dead because he’s obviously Wily
Pandora - I don’t know
Prometheus - I don’t know
Aeolus - working with Thomas to do whatever the heck they were planning on doing (making Mega Man 9?)
Siarnaq -same as Aeolus while presumably being his weird self
Atlas - same as Aeolus and Siarnaq
Thetis - same as Aeolus, Siarnaq and Atlus while presumably wishing he could have been alive in the Legends/DASH era
Ashe - Traveling the world with Model A (in her story)/probably still looking for you-know-what (in Grey’s story)
Grey - same as Ashe (in his story)/probably still sleeping in the capsule (in Ashe’s story)
Mega Man from Star Force ( I don’t think he's actually called Star Force Mega Man in-game) - living peacefully until a new version of Wily shows up and ruins everything out of sheer hatred
There, that’s where Mega Man is
Anybody else think Oscar’s starting to lose it? He disappears for a couple of days, and then shows up to say something about peanut butter needing to be ashamed of itself. I’m starting to feel concerned about the state of his mental health. Do you need a therapist, Oscar? I’m sure Isabelle doubles as one.
@dskatter Nintendo: “Our customers are so stupid if they’ll pay full price for the same game, they won’t even know what a button is!”
Nintendo, you don’t actually think that…right?
Can’t wait for the Nintendo Switch 2 Hands-off Experience; hopefully I’ll at least be invited to that! On a serious note, this feature will be helpful for stopping my (extremely inconsiderate) brother from taking the console.
So basically it was supposed to go down the path of Battle Network, which apparently was intended to end at the third entry, but Capcom couldn’t let Lan and Hub/Mega Man get any rest. Should Battle Network make a comeback? I wouldn’t mind…as long as it’s after Star Force 4, X9, Legends 3, ZX3…
@LastFootnote Yeah, but most of the time, the new game had already released or had already been revealed. This would be the perfect opportunity for a reveal. But I should probably temper my expectations.
@HammerGalladeBro I was thinking the same thing about the lack of a 3D Mario but then I remembered that this year is the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros, so hopefully they’ll reveal it in a celebratory direct.

@sanderev sees the absence of Switch 2s available for pre-orders …what console?
Re: Nintendo: "Appetite" For Mario Kart And Series' Accessibility Makes It Ideal For Switch 2's Launch
I guess it makes sense, but it still feels like they’re just playing it safe with MKW as a launch title.

I still kind of prefer the Switch 1 cases. They just look a bit more natural.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (17th May)
ACNH, and… I dunno. Mega Man 11’s been looking pretty lonely, and it’s been awhile since I’ve beat it on Superhero mode…

Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With AI Darth Vader Voice, And Of Course It's Been Swearing
@rjejr Oh, sorry.

@rjejr Umm… he’s dead, so they can’t pay him.
Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With New AI-Generated Darth Vader Chats
I will now use the force to steal what shall no doubt become a viral meme.
Re: Nintendo Predicted To Become "Primary Partner For Third-Party Game Publishers"
Yeah, I can see that.
Re: Nintendo: "Physical Games Are Still A Key Part Of Our Business"
@gamma64 Apparently, producing a wider variety of sizes would make things more difficult, and they also wouldn’t be much cheaper.

@KociolekDoSyta It’s that or the code-in-a-box. Pick your poison.

He’s Danny Kong, now.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?
I’m still playing it since it’s my only console (plus I’ve been working on my island in ACNH and have also been replaying a bunch of Mega Man games).
Re: Random: Unofficial Smash Bros. Dating App 'SmashTogether' Shut Down By Nintendo
Wouldn’t have been interested regardless; Zero’s not a fighter, and I wouldn’t be caught dead with an assist trophy.

@Dee123 Yeah, as long as that museum is the Nintendo Museum 😂

Alive?
No, dead.
Re: Talking Point: How Can The Next Animal Crossing Improve Crafting?
@YunoboCo I want to see some mean villagers! I’ve heard the legends, but sadly I’ve never had the thrill of being yelled at by a raccoon.

Easy fix- don’t bring it back

Re: Super Mario World Looks To Be The Official Name Of The Next Mario Movie
@OctolingKing13 Hopefully there’s more than just references though (I honestly really liked the inclusion of licensed songs in the first film).
Re: Super Mario World Looks To Be The Official Name Of The Next Mario Movie
Nintendo: makes a numbered sequel to one of their consoles for the first time
Also Nintendo: names the first sequel to their hit animated family movie after the fourth/fifth/sixth game in the series.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Hardware Chip Was Potentially Finalised As Early As 2021
@N00BiSH It’d probably be over $600 (maybe even $700).

I’m excited, other than the terrible video stream quality.
Re: Rumour: New Leak May Explain Why So Many Switch 2 Physicals Are Game Key Cards
@Spider-Kev They hold nothing as far as I’ve heard; they just give you access to the digital file of the game in question.
Re: Rumour: New Leak May Explain Why So Many Switch 2 Physicals Are Game Key Cards
@Vyacheslav333 Umm, at that point they might as well just make a home console.

@joeyflannel That’s just what 5-6 years without a new Mega Man game does to a person 😁

Nintendo, please stop being a stubborn grampa and provide cheaper cartridge options.
Re: Video: Switch 2's Mouse Controls Are Nothing New For Nintendo
@reporterdavid So then why wasn’t it called “Super Nintendo Switch”?
Re: Video: Switch 2's Mouse Controls Are Nothing New For Nintendo
Here’s hoping they release an actual mouse accessory in order to make the experience more comfortable.
