This is how you do a Switch 2 edition, free patch and put your game on sale on the eShop!

I am going to be honest, Ubisoft is going to be the GO TO publisher on Switch 2 for third party graphically intense games.

I will be 100% be buying once the Switch 2 version is out. I cannot do any more Sega sub 30fps games.

I woke up today to Kirby, the Alarmo works very well, for me it's exactly like the video, I roll over a bit and when I get up usually a couple minutes after grooving to Kirby music I get a victory hooray from Kirby, nice way to wake up.

And as a bonus the Kirby theme on Nintendo Today was Kirby sleep.

@foursider So if you get up before the alarm goes off it should detect your not there and stay off. The one major downside to Alarmo is for couples and pets, although my wife wakes up up 45 min before I do and so Alarmo wakes me at 7am and if I get out of bed it turns off.

@foursider As a person who genuinely wakes up to Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo the music isn’t what drives you out of bed but the “heya” from Link fighting Bokoblins or the sound of Mario collecting coins. And because you don’t need to touch the alarm when you get up you get a victory sound.

@Yosher Might see Yoshi when mysterious book comes out.

@OctolingKing13 You can turn off the alarm normally if you wish, it is only the same price of two Kirby air rider amiibos.

I just want to say there are many of the same items available on the My Nintendo Store UK ONLINE.

This will be the day that Arlo take a day off...lol

I was thinking it was the announcement of more My Mario products in the west, I was waiting for the wooden blocks to be Mario.

Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning is a fantastic blend of Fable and Elder Scrolls and also a lesson not to finance your videos games with EA and the state of Delaware!

This will sell for hundreds in a few years

Synergy-they are learning

I guess YouTube pays better

The real story is not Devon, the real story is legend Satora Shabata is joining NOA to run things as CEO and will be calling the shots on most things I imagine. Former president of Nintendo Europe he brings a very Iwata energy with him. Expect the alignment between NCL and NOA to continue as Nintendo transitions from video games only to a lifestyle and brand company.

Doug had to go, the botched communication and release of Switch 2 from a marketing side has been pretty bad. The entire operation is now really fully run by Japan now anyway so the days of US president fighting back are over. Remember it wasn't Japan that was running those terrible Wii U ads in English speaking countries.

The VERY first thing that needs to change is a top down fix of communication and strategy around Nintendo Directs. Leakers are going to leak, surprise and delight is going only go so far. What would the reception to Metroid Prime 4 be if by the third trailer they showed off the bike and open areas? Why wait so long.

What would the reception be to DK Bananza if they showed off the Pauline DK hook earlier. They should have been saying it was the EAD Tokyo team from the off.

They showed WAY too much of MK World in the Switch 2 direct only to repeat themselves in the Direct. Why have a direct then?

Hiding the costs, game key cards and other unpleasant news so YouTubers and game press can totally control the narrative even to the point where there was misinformation about the prices. Not good. And they stayed silent way too long while this was happening.

They NEED to sort out marketing and communication, the games, the direction of the company, the prices are totally out of their hands.

It runs like you think, there is a demo. 30FPS and blurt textures

This sets the bar

I don’t really like turn based rpg’s and I mostly think the Pokémon aesthetic is kinda dumb, but this game genuinely has me intrigued. The combat looks fun.

I am also an old man so the skinny jeans look is not for me.

I hope ALL games struggling with performance issues will delay rather than release and patch. I think Ubisoft and CD Project Red really set the bar.

All of these jobs will be performed by AI chatbots in the future soon anyway. Nintendo is a large corporation and they will do these moves as all companies do.

Nintendo has ALWAYS lost when using carts over disks. It cost them Final Fantasy to Playstation on the N64. Bigger game releases on the Switch opted to only put part of the game on the cart due to space.

Game Key Cards are the only stop gap to 100% digital with Switch 2. And honestly if Nintendo stopped selling physical game media physical at retail would probably collapse entirely.

EA who pays pennies for a disk on Playstation and Xbox (note ZERO physical media for PC) and is paying $$$ more for the cart on Switch 2 for the exact same game at the same price. They simply won't tolerate the lost profits and instead will go 100% digital on Switch 2 or worse yet skip the platform altogether.

The truth is physical media for portable games consoles is not the way forward. Instead people should accept either game key cards or prepare to go 100% digital. The Steam Deck and ROG Ally do not use or accept any physical media at all.

While I don't think Amiibo are on the same quality and materials as a First 4 Figures, they are certainly making these for high end collectors. And I REALLY hope more games allow you to train Amiibos like Smash, Mario Tennis and the upcoming Air Riders.

@Friendly All Amiibos manufactured in America receive ZERO tariffs. Even your COVID medicine is made in a foreign country which can stop supplying (and have done) at any time. 6 wars have been stopped due to the power of tariffs. Vote Republican.

Yes now we finally need the Alarmo update to finally have Kirby dominance!

Don’t forget My Nintendo Rewards for Kirby wallpapers

@aardvaarkchi go into your App Store, navigate to the app itself and should have an update button. It will then show up.

Star Fox - it’s time!

@WheresWaveRace I wish someone would remind Nintendo.

How could the early reviews or build shown be wrong?

@krogp Cyberpunk is a PS4 era game, this is a PS5 era game relying on fast SSD

And this was the same reason that Hentai kitty kats 3, they need that fast SSD for those slide shows.

see if any of these item codes still works

Ok so for whatever reason I don't own the SNES controller (probably because it's always out of stock) for NSO. BUT I do own the N64 controller for NSO and it has IMO the BEST D-Pad experience! It is just so natural, sadly N64 games rarely used it.

Now that button re-mapping has come to SNES on Switch 2 the N64 is GOAT for SNES games. A nice big very accurate D-Pad with easy to access buttons and shoulder buttons if you need them.

I highly recommend it if you're looking for a great controller for SNES and the N64 is available to you.

Haha you know I am going to buy those baby blocks for the amiibo.

I don't know what's going on, I don't and have never worked for Nintendo. But I have a feeling this is down to Nintendo giving into their worst impulses and locking everything down due to leaks, which happened anyways!
And then their whole house is not in order, marketing is a mess, no dev kits and it just seems like they are flying by the seat of their pants with NO strategy on how to take control of the situation.
Of course NCL is to blame, but I also think Doug Bowser is not the kind of leader for NOA to push back on the bat crap crazy that comes out of Japan sometimes.

On the game has to be done if it’s rated

Looks good hopefully we get Metroid this year

Praying to the DLSS godS

So we keep looking at Nintendo Music as a throwaway Nintendo going half-arse into releasing their music. But actually it is a service like Nintendo Classics. And as such they are holding the good soundtracks for when they need them the most.

The FREE Gamechat feature is coming to an end in March, it is very likely by March the price is going up significantly! And in order to make the pain of that price hike a little easier it would be the perfect time to release MKW and DKB soundtracks to Nintendo Music.

I also think they are going to time some highly requested Nintendo Classic releases with a price increase.

I was ready to buy stock in 2015 when it was dire for Nintendo, but my wife didn’t want to risk it. 😭😭

4 Amiibos which retail for £12.99 each that is £52 worth of Amiibo in this package. So yeah the set is expensive but looks highly collectible. And of course if you have toddlers this is brilliant.

Honestly none of this is NEW for Nintendo, the company once made strollers! What is new is that they are leveraging everything to hook in kids and adults into their IP from pretty much birth. Pokémon has been doing this for years already, anyone still using Pokémon Smile?

Nintendo doing expensive high end boutique toys is about right for them. It has worked well for LEGO and I think Nintendo will always focus on these high end products instead of cash grab teddies at your local toy shop.

@Astal I just told my wife Nintendo has tempted me to buy 3 year old block toys because of course Amiibo.

I made an info of my 2025 https://www.reddit.com/r/casualnintendo/s/s0Q4yfrzLv

You know what Battlefield V would be great. Or even patch PVZ Battle for Neighborville so it runs on Switch 2

I know this is controversial, but I think 100% digital is the best for everyone in the future.

Disks have hit their limits and carts are expensive.

This is the FIRST partner showcase that I am EXTREMELY excited for! I cannot wait to see if we are getting COD or Halo or Assassin's Creed, etc.

I don't understand the hate this game is receiving. We all know what it was at the announcement, people are complaining that it is separate from the base game, even though you can play all the boards in Jamboree TV. And yes for online Switch 1 compatibility it probably does need to be separate.

I would them to update Neighbourville for Switch2!
