I was a no, I am now CAN’T wait!

Could you imagine if an open world 3d Mario shared this world and they packed it with Bowser’s Fury style challenges and collectibles.

This reminds me of when the Xbox series X came out and 360 games like Sonic Generations were getting 60Fps and other games getting HDR support. It was like I have been saying in the early days of the console Nintendo should be patching games with improvements and then marketing them with a sale and trailer. They could sell so many more copies to people hungry for games on their new console.

I would bet my bottom dollar that it will be this year in either a Nintendo Direct or Partner Showcase. There is no way Nintendo is going to want to be missed out when their new console is out.

Make this a special area in the Nintendo Museum and I think will enjoy trying stuff out.

Nintendo can still redeem themselves and include this with MKW bundle for Black Friday.

@HotGoomba TT is dead, Lego is all games in house now.

I owned and have played the game, I read the in game manual, and I STILL DON’T know what ? Blocks and Peach coins do???

I finished one cup and unlocked Donkey Kong, no karts unlocked yet.

Really weird how the game is so damn cryptic

NOW the console is real it’s been on Jimmy Falon!

I found out today that the Switch 1 pro controller does not turn on the Switch 2, so that means I will be buying a Switch 2 Pro controller and as I plan on getting the camera anyway I should enjoy the entire Welcome Tour when I have time and energy to play it.

Before this release if I was to say to you - Open world, online multiplayer Pokémon at 60FPS.

Would you be excited!

I got just the MKW bundle and Welcome Tour. I have enough Switch games I never finished or even started that are enhanced for Switch 2 I am good until August.

Does anyone know if the streaming quality is good or poor?

Extremely brave to release this alongside MKW

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT OMG that would be incredible! Could imagine the $200 collectors edition which includes gold plated Joy-Con 2.

I already have the £8.00 ready to go, it would be nice if there were more Wii Play/Clubhouse Games type mini-games and it's not just info on the magnets.

Retailers literally do not care. They sell as many as they can then cancel if they cannot fulfil.

Honestly while a pain best to order direct from My Nintendo

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are still available for sale on My Nintendo Store UK WITH FREE Steelbooks.

This is the company that hates to talk about specs and instead has made a game where you test the frame rate!

Let be honest this SHOULD be a pack in. But Nintendo is determined to milk all of us until the end of time.

Honestly this is expected given the tariff situation, this is the WORST time to launch new hardware.

Nintendo Switch 2 - This is an Xbox.

@Olliemar28 Same work, but that night! Oh glory!

OMG I love this. I am the pycho who wants Nintendo to brand my entire life.

The devs will be busy making animal crossing next

Smiths is the new GAME

I really hate to break it to physical collectors. If you want a shiny box on the shelf you get that. But like it is on disks on other consoles it won’t be all on the storage cart.

Going on a cruise and plan to take the dock, so tempted to buy this, but I also want just the unit case as well. Decisions decisions.

I am sad to report doesn’t seem to be much music from the game.

I bet Samsung wants them to have OLED for the refresh, they made a killing last time!

Rockstar is going give us everything but GTA V.

without key cards the switch 2 would be all digital.

Ok so why isn’t this being talked about, Mario Odyssey is adding ONLINE co-op. Currently Cappy only works on same screen. Soon it will work on two systems with improved performance ONLINE.

I need my Switch for Labo and a second screen for all those secret Wii U games that are coming!

I am looking at you Nintendo Land

NINTENDO WHAT ARE YOU DOING! They really screwed themselves not calling the successor console the Super Switch!

All their marketing, and even now the movie is all Super Nintendo themed.

So sad.

Ok, ok, ok. I have allot to say about this.

Nintendo in 2017 (I believe) release voice chat through the NSO app for selected games. And at the time it was pretty much all first party games that worked online. And Nintendo fans had a cow and moaned and moaned it was on the phone. The voice quality was awesome, the chat worked as expected and you could still use the chat while standing up and using the joy-cons. But as usual the gaming community just wanted Xbox Live Party chat while they t-rex with their controller.

Fast forward to 2025 - Nintendo releases GameChat ON DEVICE, 12 player voice chat with array microphone or wired/wireless headset. System wide works with all games. Everyone is like Meh. Why not just continue to use discord ON MY PHONE while I play.

Entire podcasts exist to MOCK the lack of voice chat on Nintendo's consoles.

I agree the choppy frame screen sharing is a bit weak, and the camera feels like Nintendo in the 2000's. But those are OPTIONAL. For the price of NSO you get proper system wide voice chat. And I can't tell you how big this will be for 3rd party gaming.

Imagine Nintendo made a console that wasn’t like the Switch, it would bomb and everyone would say “why didn’t you make a Switch 2?”

Now no themes, that is a slap in our faces.

Wasn't their previous estimate 22 million by the end of fiscal year?

Don’t worry at launch there will be more. No US tariffs in the UK so China will be glad to make em for us.

They make all their money in microtransactions

Take that Michael Pachter!

Well well looks like game companies can FINALLY announce some games for this holiday.

I sync my Alarmo and Nintendo Today themes. I am committed to the ecosystem!

Gamers: Lower the price
Nintendo: record breaking sales

They got all the cards!

Nintendo should be sending him one OMG!

Fans said, "lower the price"

Nintendo said, "No soup for you!"

To be honest that is about what I expected. Kirby and Mario Party are offering straight up DLC for those games, of course they are going to cost extra. The only real question is will the graphical improvements be added if you don't upgrade to the DLC?

And while we are at it, if you laps your subscription to NSO + Expansion pack does your graphical upgrades for BOTW and TOTK go back to the original? Will the game visually downgrade or will you simply loose access to the Zelda Notes app?

Also - Will Nintendo be doing a Jamboree TV bundle with the Camera? It would make a ton of sense to bundle the two together.

We don't know what goes through the minds of Nintendo - but this HAD to be designed as a pack-in originally. And I think when they went to price the switch they couldn't go any higher than $450 so something had to go and it go cut from being a pack-in.

@Edd-O this large cartridges cost a fortune for Nintendo and publishers, trust me they will phase them out. Now they do have an out, the digital game cart, so physical but with download.

Nintendolife - your tagline should have said, "You got a Zatar"

Just remember your regions currency may be HELLA inflated and the number might seem higher than $US £GBP

I am frankly surprised the Switch 2 even supports physical media still.

Digital is going to the future, and it is possible the Swifch 2 refresh ditches physical altogether.

@StewdaMegaManNerd Well the Switch 2 supposedly has given more resources to the UI and systems. I would imagine they are using MUCH better browser code than 2017 and more RAM allocated. Additionally they now have WIFI 6. So if their web apps still run like slideshows than Nintendo really needs to sit in the corner.

Yes the download sucks, but let's compare this to PS5 and Xbox - You buy the Blu-ray disk work of game, usually 10 minutes or more downloading to your HDD - then the day 1 patch which can be as big as the disk install.

This is the reality of AAA gaming. The file sizes are too large to use flash carts without large extra costs. This fact alone nearly sunk the N64 compared to Playstation which used CD's.
