@Magrane This is what we used to call an XBLA game. It was never going to come to an expensive cart to sell for $30. LRG is basically just created overpriced but fun physical collector editions.

Hackers have done Microsoft and Sony and I guess it's Nintendo's turn.

I wonder if Dentist approve this app?

I just want LaChonk!

If Nintendo put a music app on the Switch and put their vast sound collection on there and added it to the NSO Expansion Pak, I promise you it would explode with subscribers.

I literally think the reason they haven't done it is there is no sound producers free who they could give the job to. They won't carve out resources and time for it, no it would have to be a weekends and nights passion project from some senior sound person at Nintendo.

So my wife recently had a distant great aunt die and leave some thousands to her. And so we are planning a trip to America and I am trying to convince her California! But I wish they would built thr Florida Nintendo World first!

You know what, why doesn't Nintendo just take up pre-orders again and then ship them as soon as they come into stock.

I mean where at the 10 controllers they are selling coming from? A lost crate somewhere in China?? Surely they should be making millions of these and selling them worldwide with subscription bundles in stores.

Let's hope this means the brass at the Pokemon Company starts to care about the video games and not just selling over priced teddies and cards.

And yet Microsoft has clearly bypassed EA.

On Xbox if you owned the Skyrim Special Edition it was sold as DLC. So you didn't have to buy the whole game again.

Honestly I would give this one the Metroid Prime treatment. I would make a third person cyberpunk semi-open world to explore, do on foot combat and quest systems and then also have the epic races both on official tracks and in the streets.

Just wait for FIFA 2K next year!

If I was an EA investor I would be extremely concerned about the future of the company. Their core business is FIFA and Madden and those are in flux. Their shooters have all bombed and they didn't diversify by making more games. They have Respawn until they choke it to death like Bioware and Popcap and Maxis, etc.

EA may regret not investing onto the Switch given it is thr 5th best selling console of all time! Where is Classic Battlefront? Where are the Sims?

The Switch is the first Nintendo Console (not including wii u) since the N64 to not have a Sims game.

And yet these publishers keeping doing the same thing over and over chasing fads like NFT and loot boxes. They just want to be Sega and make gambling games.

Another Nintendo PR Rep sheds a tear!

@Darkstorm556 It is literally the same one. Maybe you can double leg it in the future...lol

@sanderev I unlocked something for my head and suddenly went from Mii to Sports Mates...lol

@FroZtedFlakerZz I have been slowly adding Mii's into the Switch and you can bet Matt is there.

I am not sure I even own a CD player? Oh wait this laptop has one.

I am surprised even with drift issues they aren't selling a joy-con with this.

@mrMike They can't even make enough N64 controllers, I hope this is all we see until Gamecube!

All I want is SNES Act Raiser, I would even pay extra.

I would be down for MK I bought it for the game gear back in the day.

If you have NSO you can download and play the whole game for 7 days for free.

I used to collect Lego and some minifigs would sell ridiculous. Out of print lego will send prices wild!

Wake up Nintendo of America and UK people would LOVE this!

Port star fox zero plz

Don't be dissing Kirby won a grammy!

Don't be fooled this is a high quality mobile game which is also coming to Switch. Same with Star Wars Hunters, that also is a high quality mobile game.

These will be free to play and have aggressive monetization practices.

Nintendo Japan did a thing like this for Switch Consoles.

With new processors from Nvidia and crazy AI tech I am sure the Switch 2 will be a 4K beast rivalling the PS4 Pro.

Without any inside knowledge whatsoever here is my theory.
Nintendo announced allot of stuff would come to NSO and it made it sound like an Xbox Live or PSN type service. Instead we got a half baked app experience which only allows for certain Nintendo only games to use voice chat. No party chat, no messaging and servers that barely work.

Remember they delayed NSO until fall of 2018. It was on the backdrop of their terrible online service they announced NES games would come to switch. These were pretty much all first party owned and were already emulated for the NES Classic.

The was never meant to be a proper service of NES games, just to shut up critics of the online paywall.

Then they knew they needed more so they did SNES games. But note no new features really.

Then Nintendo made the Expansion Pak again no third party N64 games and some expansions with it, but at a much higher price.

They have no intention in ever offering a proper gamepass style service with NSO. It is just a way to make extra revenue while they spend virtually nothing on it. They finally upgraded their early 2000's online infrastructure but where is the upgrades to the online service?

Nintendo this generations knows they struck gold with Switch. And rather then the expensive gimmicks like StreetPass, Miiverse and other stuff they used to do, they decided to just make money and not spend money. Nintendo is in a pure cash mode.

We of course buy it because they keep the family jewels locked away (Gamecube, GBA, etc) until they find the right moment to sell it to us again.

It is the same for the Mario Kart Booster Course Pass. All of the tracks are ripped straight out of Mario Kart Tour. So they are making money on the tracks twice! Even the original tracks and remakes are meant for MK Tour. This is how come they are willing to make so many tracks, MK Tour loot boxes are paying for it. The booster course pass is just extra revenue for Nintendo.

I gonna be honest, those commercials/adverts hit the feels like those McDonald's ads do in the UK. I think they are perfect for those casuals in Japan. Look how clubhouse games 51 worldwide classics are still being shown off. What a perfect showcase for a fun family device that little kids and parents can play or teens or 20 somethings.

It really is a super versatile little console!

I think it was IGN did an article about the negatives of working for Nintendo and lack of advancement opportunities was top of the list. So I think people want to go higher need to leave Nintendo.

Given that casuals are the likely audience for Mario Party do you think they would even know if there was DLC for this game? Wouldn't it make sense to just release a new game every year or so?

That way they see it on the shelf at Walmart.

They have some cheek doing these interviews giving how bad the development has gone.

Well if you own the NSO Expanion Pak you don't need to choose. You get both games for one price. Let's hope someday the Gamecube and Gameboy versions comes.

I was hoping to go to Florida next year as I never been to Disney World only Disneyland California. But now I am wondering if I should go to California, it will be my only chance to see Nintendo World.

Even without a shortage the Switch is quickly saturating the market and it's getting long in the tooth. The economy is going to hell in most western nations so spending on entertainment is going to go down.

Nintendo knows this and that is why they now have theme parks and feature films coming out. Also they are probably making far more revenue per switch then they were with say the Wii or DS in game attach and digital subscriptions.

My Lego Mario fund has dried up sadly. I bought the Airship which is fantastic. I was hoping for Peaches Castle and now we have it.

Give us chat and party chat voice options! I hope this update is to telegraph those updates in the future.

In Sword and Shield you just needed a quick ball and you can catch most things anyway.

This would be awesome if you could have other classic arcade games besides just pac-man

If you don't go online then nobody is going to see your icons anyway, so your not missing out.

Now in Europe they just tie you down and shoot you with hastily approved drugs.

It was missed opportunity to not have a Carby Amibo.

I think the Pokemon company are dumb as bricks. They put the dumb swirl mobile game on Switch and yet cannot put their widely successful card game which they actively spending money to develop on switch?

They may announce this later on but which genius is running their marketing and just ignores Nintendo.

Here is how I would do it. I would do it at the game awards and have Reggie come out on stage. People will assume it is related to something else and have him start talking and then some plant in the front row shouts, "hey reggie give us Mother 3." and then a pause, and he says, "ok".

Trailer plays, mic drops and the place goes wild.

People are still playing Black Ops 2 on Wii U.

Clearly someone at Activision got hit on the head, Cod used to be on anything from toasters to smart fridges every year. And then one day Nintendo makes a console that can run cod well with paid online and Activision says no???

@Bret Because it has Nintendo on the system publishers refuse to spend any money and instead squat and ***** on us.

Why isn't hearthstone on Switch? I mean does Blizzard not like money?

Sega bring back Phantasy Star Online C.A.R.D. from the Gamecube.
