Australia got a physical release at launch, but the cartridge was imported from the US.

I only have 2K18 and I plan to wait for the series to stop releasing on Switch and get the last one for dirt cheap.

@blockfight Personally I can't really understand that either, but yeah.

Personally I can't comprehend why people would spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on a watch, but cool.

I want Crash, but it's probably going to be another random JRPG character...

...But why? It's a fun game but I don't really see why it needs a physical edition.

Will the theme be as generic as the game's courses?

@Franklin I AM NIN-TEN-DO.

Finally, though I'm surprised there's no changes to the actual hardware apart from a new screen.

@gojiguy Interesting. Do you have a link?

Bidoof, Bidoof, Bidoof is on fire

You know, for a company that keeps killing off ROM sites, Nintendo is doing awfully little for game preservation...

Calling it now, this con job's going bust within the next five years (and even five years is a bit generous I think).

And we haven't even mentioned the large lumps they call "shrines"! (You people are crazy.)

I was going to download it, but as someone who constantly whines about preservation, I simply can't gather up the willpower to play when it's online only.

...Yeah, I knew I was in the right not buying this at launch. I think I'll wait to get it used.

@FredBiletnikoff Come along, Bort.

Bold of you to assume it will even release on Switch in the first place

Did nobody remember the whole "no pre-orders" thing after Cyberpunk turned into a cyber-trainwreck? (I'll go now...)

Eh, I still think Nintendo won, but I don't really blame them. Starfield looked cool and Forza Horizon 5 looks like an evolution for racing games.

Cloud gaming. The death knell for video game preservation.

I'm thinking it's a Game Awards announcement with a late 2022/early 2023 launch.

Pessimism is my middle name.

...But why? I'm no fan of digital, but on the other hand artificial scarcity bothers me to an irrational degree.

That was... very bad in terms of Switch games. There were only 2 or 3 games I actually had some sort of interest in. 3/10, if Nintendo's show is this bad then I'm done.

@RupeeClock "You should be proud, Geoff. Uh, you had a nice stage there."

I frequent the game leaks subreddit; this leaker has gotten pretty much everything right. I loved Kingdom Battle so a sequel is very enticing.

When the Impostor is- gets shot

Having played Crash Bandicoot 4 in retro mode... yeah, no. I like challenge in my games, thanks.

This is one of those rare instances where the eyes actually work. I might get this.

Watch Nintendo spend half the Direct on one game again

I just want a release date for Test Drive Unlimited...

I thought Summer Game Fest was about games, not crappy adaptations.

@Eel I would actually prefer Crash as a Mii just so I can do the funny Sans meme.

Nintendo is going to end up like the monorail guy from The Simpsons if they don't do anything soon.

The Art of the Switch.

Just kidding, I'm placing bets on New Nintendo Switch.

Every now and then, but mainly if there's different endings and the like.

I've been far too busy recently, but there's a few here that certainly have my eye.

I remember getting the New 3DS XL because the OG one was getting too small for my hands. Great upgrade!

After Mario came to Minecraft it only made sense that Sonic would as well.

If it's anything like Bowser's Fury I'm all for it. But if it's anything like a Ubisoft game they can keep it.

It actually doesn't look bad, but I'm definitely going to wait for reviews and a heavy discount.

@Pikman But 7/10 isn't a bad score...

I don't really see the point now considering Game Builder Garage is releasing next month.

...But why? Why two?

Having backed all three issues of Ninty Fresh so far, this is absolutely dismal. Nintendo needs to stop suing fans and start making games.

Cash Banooca

DQXII is inevitable.

I'm excited. Worried, but excited.

While this is without doubt a good idea given the current situation, what exactly would stop someone from streaming the event themselves? From what I know it's quite hard to copyright a live event.

I hope someone leaks the ROM for game preservation (also because I wanna play it myself).
