Have it preloaded, waiting for it to unlock even though it's 4:30PM on release day as of writing...

The NA boxart is more iconic, but the Japan boxart has more personality so I'm going to vote for that one

I know the "PS2 graphics" joke has been run into the ground about a million times over but the fact this game is selling so well only tells me that Game Freak simply won't put any effort into competent visuals as long as the games are making money. This is a multi-billion dollar franchise, we should not be settling for the bare minimum when we damn well know better could have and should have happened.

@johnvboy "Best Nintendo console" Way to just completely ignore the SNES, 3DS, Wii, etc.

Shame it doesn't deserve that, with all the hardware problems, no original Mario Kart, terrible online, etc etc.

If there's no Mario Kart 9 I don't wanna hear a damn word.

I feel like this list should have included Mario Party, but I 100% agree with Dread winning

This time next year: "Global chip shortages to continue into 2024"

Welp, time to uninstall Ninjala...

The fact Nintendo decided to make yet another Kirby instead of a new Mario Kart really stings considering we've been playing MK8 for nearly eight years...

This is like the fifth Tetris game we're probably getting on the Switch, and I still intend to play all of them.

Aren't NFTs basically just glorified JPEGs that destroy the environment by harnessing extreme amounts of data?

This is basically the only time I'm happy that Nintendo took down a fan game (if you can even call it that).

Monkey Ball got snubbed, damn shame that is.

Looks very uninspired and bland, much like the game itself...

Eighty-eight dollars? This monstrosity costs eighty-eight dollars?!

Oh noes, a game's been delayed by seven days, whatever shall I do to recover from this terrible tragedy?

Personally I think it's mad that Nintendo thinks this is worth more than a Series S

I was watching the presentation live and went "Yeeeees!" when Sakurai said Kingdom Hearts was coming to Switch, only to go "Aw, dammit!" when he revealed it was cloud-based. Since I care about owning my games I'll probably get the PC version once it goes on sale.

Exophobia and Dawn of the Monsters look really fun and then obviously there's Toree 2 which I'm getting with spare gold points. This was definitely an improvement over last year's showcase

Didn't y'all give Colours Ultimate an eight when it was blatantly unfinished (and remains to be blatantly unfinished to this day)? At least Push Square had the guts to rip Cyberpunk to shreds when that was blatantly unfinished...

Anyway I have this on preorder and I'll most likely enjoy it based on what people are saying about it.

No Patrick, this does not mean the final fighter will be a Sony rep.

When the most exciting announcement is 25 year old games you can't even own, that ain't good. I give it a very borderline C-

@Snatcher And the same day as Banana Mania (which I still think will review better than NASB lol)

Why not bring it to Switch? Would be a perfect fit!

I would have been interested if there was some sort of offline mode, but nah.

Have the other two but missing Bonzai Bill Barrage so I'll need to get on that

Well actually, they won't even be able drive a full lap without being fined right now

I played the demo and loved it, can't wait to see more of it

The photos make it seem a bit plasticky to be honest.

Pretty sure I heard something about this game being too easy, do you know whether or not that's true?

@Faruko It's more about data spying concerns than it is xenophobia, as the CCP is notorious for forcing Chinese tech companies to give them user data.

Despite all the leaks, this was and still is one of the biggest surprises of the Switch era. Can't wait for the sequel.

And with that, this film's fate has been sealed, signed and delivered. What a shame.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Yeah but then you also risk it being another Pokemon or Fire Emblem character

I would have bought one, but international shipping causes the total cost to go from $40 AUD to $62 AUD, so I'll be passing on it.

Might get it while I wait for Legends Arceus

Looking to see how they improved Legends, but even then it's at a decent timeslot for me so it's safe to assume I'll be tuning in

To be fair, the Switch is pretty much the only in-demand console with actual stock. Still, this is utterly insane

Remember when people made a ruckus about rock music being evil? This is the 21st century equivalent of that.

Condolences to his loved ones.

"An evil wizard is making the mountains disappear as part of his plans to make the world perfectly flat!"

Sounds like something a flat-earther would do.

The cold, hard truth is that Mario Kart 9 is never happening.

@Tom-Smo I'm pretty certain it was a joke.

I wonder if anyone will be able to try and unofficially preserve the game before the shutdown. Either way, this was easily Nintendo's best mobile title and it'll be somewhat of a shame to see it go.

Comments fearing a shutdown announcement in 3, 2, 1...

Gee, where have I seen this before? Where a game was announced too early and generated hype only to crash and burn when it eventually did release? I think it was called Cyberpunk or something...

Instead of gripping the Master Sword, the Master Sword is now gripping your wrists. Nice!

Quite frankly, just say what platforms it will run on and be done with it.

If they can barely put anything of worth in their film and television collection then why should they bother with gaming?

@SkullDragr That's a good strategy too but I don't really think it would be worth the monumental amount of MicroSD space.
