I'll wait for the eventual ambassador program price drop, a second iteration where they iron out all the launch bugs, more first party games, and I'll get the Switch 2 in a Lite portable only format, assuming game prices go down from completely unaffordable levels because $120 CAD for a video game is a tad ridiculous. I don't want or need any accessories or Game Chat, so hopefully they remove the Game Chat button from future iterations. I also might buy games used. This would really just function as a souped up Switch 1 for me. Nintendo has been very vague about upgrades to Switch 1 games so I'll have to see how those work as well. I could afford the Switch 2 day one, but I'd rather wait it out. I've learned many lessons from buying the Wii U at launch lmao.

They say a sucker is born every minute and this comment section proves it...

@squidduforeal
I guess I could use it in my computer, but shame on me for wanting to use the thing I paid money for lmao. Nothing wrong with more storage.

This is so dumb and consumer unfriendly. Guess mine will just be a paper weight.

...I have no idea how they come up with this stuff lol. This is random.

Hey kids, can you spell "tone-deaf"? This is ridiculous. They went from explaining how to use the controller to explaining magnet circuits. If you need to explain how to push buttons on a controller, I think explaining electrical engineering is going to fly over their heads. Especially if they pay money for this...

I loved Final Fantasy 9 growing up. I bought the game as a kid because it came with multiple discs, I thought I was getting quite the bargain! Some of the dialogue was really poignant and stuck with me all these years later.

I'm so excited for both lol. My friends and I are all going to buy Switch 2s and Tomodachi Life. We're all hyped : D

I thought the Direct sucked up until that point but Tomodachi Life made it an instant 10/10. That was my favourite game on the 3DS, which is saying a lot because I had a disgusting amount of hours in New Leaf (which is still my favourite Animal Crossing). It's such a quirky experience you can't get anywhere else. It's like the Sims, but if they had autonomy.

Extremely mid but then Tomodachi Life made it a 10/10!

Remember the hot Cheeto shaped like Gandolf? Someone should unite Cheetozard and Cheeto Gandolf.

I'm so excited to watch this in theatres because it's going to be awful lol

Has society finally advanced past the need for Funko Pops? We can only hope.

Miiverse? Absolutely not. 99% of the stuff on there was cringe. But Miitomo? I support that coming back. Bring back Miitomo!

Implications aside, the design kind of creeps me out. Imagine seeing it in the corner of your room at night in the dark 0_o"

I managed to enjoy all the Banjo games (minus the GBA one, never played it). I'd be happy with whatever they come out with unless they make something completely unplayable, obviously. That doesn't mean they were all perfect. I have criticisms of every game in the series but overall they were enjoyable. Nothing is perfect.

When you first boot up the game, the loading times are a bit ridiculous but every subsequent time you play it the loading improves. It's really weird. Maybe it's just because I got my Switch on launch and it's a bit slow; idk. It's nearly Wrath of Cortex levels of loading when you first turn on the game (around a minute). After you play it for the first time, the load times are twice of what they were on the Wii. In the Wii, the game basically didn't load at all so I would say it's noticeable but not unbearable. I really only play it in handheld for reference.

My only complaint is the loading times. Everything else is great imo. Price doesn't bother me really, but I understand why some people are displeased with it. Donkey Kong Country Returns is in my top 5 greatest games of all time!

My best guess is that it's a screen cap button so that player two gets one as well.

I liked the reveal, but it felt a bit barebones to me. We saw the console, got some hints at its functionality, and saw one game. I would have liked to have known a little bit more. Perhaps what the home menu looks like when the console is turned on, one more game (or just a tiny bit more footage than what we got), and what some of the buttons do or what is new that we can look forward to. Overall, I liked it! To be fair the only way I could have disliked the reveal would be if they didn't do a reveal at all or showed zero gameplay footage.

This is one of my favourite games of all time! Absolutely getting it. Didn't play the 3DS version though.

Perhaps this is just me coping, but I really doubt this rumour is true. It's giving the same energy as "my uncle works at Nintendo, trust me bro."

I loved Punch Out as a series. Every year that goes without a new entry is a punch in the gut for me. The NES version was one of the first video games I ever played in my entire life. All the characters are lovable, it's my favourite part. Bear Hugger is just the best, and I'm saying that as a Canadian. Even the worst offenders like Great Tiger have personalities besides their nationality. He has funny conversations with his clones and aspires to have a rap career despite lacking any trace of talent. They did research to make sure the characters speak their languages correctly. Piston Hondo speaks in a poetic dialect, introducing himself with what samurai would say before battle. That's a great touch! Again, I think it's done respectfully.

"There is no easter bunny, there is no tooth fairy, and there is NO Switch 2!"

I would LOVE a new entry. I've been wondering where the heck the series has been for years. I hope we'll get a new one on the Switch 2 along with Tomodachi Life! Maybe a dual release with one having dogs and one having cats. I feel like Nintendogs plus Cats spread itself too thin trying to have two kinds of pets. The cats did nothing and the models were kind of uncanny valley. I don't have the money or time to care for a real pet so a virtual one would be great. Nintendo always puts in utmost care (or at least they did...) so a new Nintendogs game would be better than any imitators.

Team Presents. When you're an adult, no one gives you presents during the holidays except for your friends. Money is cool but I like it better when other people buy me presents. Experiences are fine but the presents are the experience for me lol.

10 games and 225 hours. Most played were Splatoon 3, Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door and Minecraft.

I'm excited for the reveal of the console regardless of the leaks. For all we know, these leaks could have been totally fake. Speculating is the only fun thing to really do lately as it's been basically complete silence on Nintendo's end for like six months.

...I have no words 0_o"
This trailer is supremely cursed. I feel like those ai generated cats will come to kill me in 7 days like the girl from The Ring

We're so desperate for information because of the Nintendo radio silence. Seriously, they've been skipping loads of Directs lately and there's no huge upcoming games really besides DKCR and that Xenoblade port thing. Anyone can tell the Nintendo Switch 2 is getting seriously delayed. As for this "leak," I doubt its veracity. It just looks much too similar to the original Switch and I doubt Nintendo would confuse the casual audience by making them look so similar (like the Wii U situation).

YES! Now all we need is Splatoon 1 and my life will be complete. The Splatoon series has my favourite soundtrack ever!

The Mario Bros Wonder one with Bowser and Peach was peak. I guess not all shorts can be winners...

Donkey Kong Country returns is one of my favourite games of all time, so I will be getting it again. I've beat it 100% and plan to do so again because it was so fun!

1. Flipnote (not really a game but it was my favourite thing to do on the system!)
2. Animal Crossing Wild World
3. New Super Mario Bros

Those are my top three! I also enjoyed the port of Scooby Doo First Frights. It was shockingly good and just generally fun despite it being a Scooby Doo game; they put way too much effort into it lmao. Super Princess Peach deserves a shout out as well.

They knew what they were doing XD

Introducing the Nintendo Kinect!

I understand the hesitance to sell old games. You could play them on "not original hardware" but it's not the same sometimes.

...However I would pay anything for a copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day autographed by Reggie Fils-Aime!

They're really hard to find in my country but I managed to snag some off the Nintendo Store! Yes! They'll arrive eventually... ^^'

Seriously!? Another Trizooka nerf!? Oh well, I guess they thought it was necessary. At least scales are easier to obtain now :,)

It's awesome that he owns Conker's Bad Fur Day! That game was great, definitely... "unique" for a Nintendo published game haha!

No!!! There was going to be a Twinsanity level in Crash 5!? Aw man... too bad it got canceled.

I'm going to be camping out on the Nintendo website to buy them when they first come out! I can't get them any other way...

400USD so ~550CAD is my maximum price. That's much more than the original cost at launch but, y'know, inflation and all that... I will still end up getting Switch 2 regardless while selling my old Switch to slightly make up for it. Nintendo always tries to make their consoles affordable.

I understand that the headline means Nintendo isn't showing up, not that they have zero games but it really feels to me like nothing is releasing right now. They skipped a couple directs and then showed off three big games (Prime 4, Brotherhood, and Zelda) only one of which I feel excited for. Maybe it's good that they're giving my wallet a break but still. The games are really drying up now that they're putting all their resources into the Switch 2.

But I want it now! (flips table)

Yes! Another win for Frye! I was on Team Pasta but the results still make me happy. Remember when Frye won with Team Bucket List and she had her first win in over a year? I love cheering for the underdog! Plus I had a lot of fun playing with my friends. This was a really great Splatfest overall!

I didn't see any advertising for this movie anywhere. The closest was when I saw a poster in the lobby while I was buying my ticket to go watch Twisters, an actually good movie. I took one look at the poster, thought it looked like garbage, and actually forgot about it. I only remembered the movie existed when it actually came out and I saw a flood of negative reviews online. If a movie based on a video game is good, it's the exception and not the norm...

Oh no! I'm so devastated... I had no idea she had cancer. Pokémon Indigo League was my childhood and Jessie was always my favourite character. Rachael had such a distinctive voice.

The Switch is super old and the next one will likely be backwards compatible! I'm super excited to play Splatoon 3 in higher resolution and with more battery life for handheld mode. I have a couple games in my backlog/games I'd like to play, so the Switch 2 being backwards compatible would be epic. I'm also excited for truly next gen graphics. The Switch looked incredible at the time but I'm ready to move on. Plus, this has been the longest console life of a Nintendo console yet. My Switch is showing its age... I'm hoping it can hold on until the Switch 2 lol

Woo! Team Theme Park! Nothing would be better than throwing a massive rager in an empty theme park and eating way too many fried snacks.

Meh... Wish the paper background of the box art had some cool holographic swirls or details or something. The art feels kinda off center? And what's with the lazy 3D render? I loved the drawn artwork on the old games. Even the M+L games that had the white background had something interesting going on in the background or corner. I hope this is a temporary cover...
