@Tasuki EA released Need for Speed and Mass Effect 3 at launch on Wii U but due to dire sales they dropped all support after that.

How about Battlefield and the Sims!

Read this article - Nintendo has been here before

Here is my prediction, Black Friday Mk World bundle will also include the welcome game free as a pack in.

HONESTLY Nintendo should give it free at least to NSO + Expansion pack members!

Face it Nintendo will sell this like hot cakes and might even outsell MK8 Deluxe.

This will be the bundle for black friday the next 8 years.

Everything they are doing with physical just screams to me BUY Digital!!

Nintendo is nudging everyone digital.

@Patendo people been waiting for sales for 8 years on switch!

It reminds me of Labo and Game Builder Garage - it will probably justify the price, but come on Nintendo it should have been a pre-loaded pack in!

Let me just say this, go digital, the games are even cheaper.

Star Fox RIP - come on Nintendo

I am still waiting for Echo the Dolphin 2: Water Wars - A First Porpus Shooter.

It's 2025 Nintendo is about to release a mouse and we are talking about Halo coming to a Nintendo console! This is nuts!

I think the Switch 1 direct was a mistake! They should have Twitter dropped everything and put the games in the Switch 2 direct. Third parties could get a separate direct later.

I think it kinda disappointed and now the wind is out of people sails a bit.

I literally just scrolled through and saw that was like WTF!! This app is ligit!

@RupeeClock DIRECT to you is what the man said!

The original release Iwata Ask with Monolith Soft

Nintendo needs to buy complete control of the Pokemon company or cut them loose.

Awesome! This makes me happy knowing Nintendo isn’t going to abandoned Alarmo.

I own an Alarmo. If you want a quirky Nintendo themed alarm clock it works brilliantly. The sounds and music do not annoy me or make me hate the games they are from.

It is expensive for what it is, but honestly I think in years to come it will be a sought after collectors piece.

Rewind to the end of 2017 and Mario Odyssey had just released and Nintendo released this, I think it would have sold like hot cakes! I just think the timing has put a damper on it.

@N00BiSH This is my first Mario and Luigi and so I tried the 3DS games and I prefer the Switch way for Luigi.

I understand people used to the old system prefer it, but I prefer the new method (although they should have given you options)

Let’s not forget Microsoft and Sony both have digital loyalty schemes. I doubt Nintendo will ditch all together, I think they will have new schemes that make sense.

Don’t be fooled Nintendo still wants the 100% profit on first party digital games sold

Will there be an Animal Crossing New Horizons update to include Alarmo at the same time as they add AC to Alarmo?

Clearly Nintendo is not willing to pay more than $0.5 for a third party game to put on NSO, so I think there needs to be a hybrid system.

Let Nintendo stock up NSO with their first party games and rubbish NES roms which clearly have no license anymore, and let Capcom and Konami and others sell us retro games that can be added to NSO libraries.

I think for this generation instead of arcade collections and Arcade Archives, let us add these to NSO in a virtual arcade. Your Mii would walk around and interact with the cabinets. And so the players can purchase them like we do now but it would integrate into NSO.

I sure hope so this is my # 1. But do you want to play star fox joy-con mouse?

Back to 2017, waiting for the Switch and Mario Run comes out.

@-wc- There is probably a deposit so people don't walk out with them.

When I go to Universal I will bring my own Alarmo

$400 is the sweet spot. This thing will be sold in vast quantities and at $500 only the hardcore will buy it.

Nintendo probably has no intention of lower the price in the future so they need to at what a grandma at Wallmart will pay for little Johnny’s Christmas.

EA had plenty of opportunity with Switch one but generally didn’t bother. I scratch my head and think of so many games that could have been made but EA just sat back.

I am sure the string of flops on more powerful hardware has finally shown the light!

It's going to be social media only. Nintendo is probably working flat out to do the April direct, I don't know they have the capacity to do one in Feb. I don't think they have enough Switch 1 games to announce to warrant a direct.

I didn't get in, but honestly I am happy to wait for the system in my house.

@dr-ghost Rare replay would kill on Switch but unlikely with NSO as it is.

Nintendo Switch 2 - This is an Xbox.

Microsoft rubbing their hands, “EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!”

I don’t think Nintendo is going to sell 20 million to early adopters alone. Remember next April The Super Mario Movie 2 comes out. By then Florida, California and Japan will all have Super Nintendo World theme Parks.

Mario Kart 9 will be out and Nintendo is looking to hit the ground hard!

I don’t believe a price drop is in their plans. I think at least for the first few years they will have a cascading price strategy.

£389.99 Switch 2
£309.99 Switch OLED
£259.99 Switch
£199.99 Switch Lite

I hope Sea of Thieves comes, it’s already come to PlayStation and I am guessing it’s the specs of Switch 1 holding it back.

Maybe the new devs did the credits and the producer didn’t see it.

I think sales will be unaffected by the leaks, the real casualties of the leaks were the core Nintendo fans who love to be surprised and delighted by Nintendo reveals.

I don’t begrudge Nate the Hate but honestly it did hurt my enjoyment of the reveal.

New console, new theme parks, new movie in next year, I just wish I was able to stock back in 2015.

@Woodyshoe So far not working, since it's a lottery we got plenty of time to register.

@PushMyGran86 That Mario Kart will likely cost $70

I am hoping for no more than £400 UK money. I think £379.99 would be ideal.

Switch 2 - £379.99
Switch OLED - £309.99
Switch - £259.99
Switch Lite - £199.99

I noticed allot of sound effects used were Labo sounds. Making use of those Labo assets.

This was the last article posted by Nintendo Life before Switch 2 was officially revealed! I was here 2025.

You know you can drive to these places from Scotland and Wales.

@VHSGREMLIN Iwata asked for this.

I think it would brilliant if Karen came back for her roof top party with the Switch 2

Back in 2015 I told my wife to BUY Nintendo stock, I knew you can never count out Nintendo, she wouldn't agree. =(

I bought an Alarmo, and I can't imagine a parent dropping £90 in Smyths to buy this for their kid as an alarm clock.

I figured the issue is low sales, but the article says good sales, I hope that means after Animal Crossing we get more games and features! I want 10-15 min sleep sounds!

If your holding on to April for release, I wouldn't!

Nintendo seems in no hurry to announce this system and as a result they could very well announce in March, which makes April impossible for them.
