@N00BiSH Now this is making me want a live action Tingle movie. No Zelda movies. Just Tingle.

@Xenoblade-Fan Splatoon fans already got two games on Switch. They don't need a fourth any time soon- especially when they just got Splatoon 3.

Animal Crossing fans had to wait 7 years for New Horizons, and that game kinda abandoned a good chunk of it's fanbase in pursuit of new fans.

We need 24/7 video streams of old Alex videos playing on the channel.

@larryisaman I'd love if Persona 6 either took more of a Metaphor-like approach where the protagonist is fully their own character instead of a player insert, or if they at least gave options next game.

@Noelemahc With Reload, my guess is that it came down to the anime cutscenes and smaller budget that Reload had. They would have to redraw the scenes to include the FEMC, and it would've been far more expensive to do that- even with fewer anime cutscenes than the original release.

@larryisaman The big issue would be the anime cutscenes. Given that the budget for Persona games aren't all that high, and how expensive it would be to have a version of those cutscenes that take into account a female protagonist- they tend to avoid it. The only reason why P3P has a female protagonist is due to the lack of cutscenes in the game. It's all just text and visual novel elements basically.

@OldGamer999 At this point I would be surprised if it wasn't the launch title. It's probably the reason why they've been pretty quiet about the system, given that Bowser's Fury was pretty much a tech demo and there's a high possibility the next game takes an open world structure to it's level design on the level of Bowser's Fury (but larger).

@TheSaneInsanity The gameplay itself is something I'm not sure on being Ai or not. There's some instances that throw me off (the eyes at the end of the trailer and how they kinda glitch similarly to how Ai artifacting tends to look), but the main thing I'm seeing is that the promotional art is 100% Ai generated. The icons for the clothes, the designs of those clothes, and the images on the steam page and website are flat out Ai. That sorta gives me enough of a reason to not like the idea of this game's existence, even if the gameplay was handled by humans.

@OldGamer999 Mario is kinda over-saturated as is right now due to all the re-releases of the RPGs and the new Mario and Luigi games. They really need to give things a break until the next 3D mario comes out (which is probably a Switch 2 launch title).

Gotta love how it's always "Nintendo will shut this down," and never comments on the project itself generally.

Even with this gameplay trailer, a few things feel extremely off to me. The lynx at the end of the trailer and how it's eye deforms a bit with the lighting for one. The music also just feels weird, especially for compositions of a guy who is known for bombastic orchestral pieces.

The icons for clothing in the trailer still look Ai generated. So even if the game itself isn't Ai- if this is even real gameplay (which I'm suspect of), they're still using Ai for the promotional art of the game and for the description of it.

@garfreek A lot of people tend to forget this. That each chapter is effectively a game of it's own. The two we have so far are around the same length as Undertale, and we're getting around 5 more chapters.

@PikaPhantom To me, the leaks that say it's officially called the "Switch 2" feel extremely dubious honestly. I doubt Nintendo would go with a name similar to what the fans are calling it.

@NintenGuy I mean the switch already has a share button on it, so I don't see a need to make a new secondary share button for livestreaming. Especially given that the console is a handheld device. Most people aren't going to be constantly connected to the internet and I doubt it'll see much use.

Also those gimmicks were probably my favorite things about the 3DS. I miss when Nintendo consoles had side functions that weren't just for playing games. When they would do something new with their consoles instead of just constantly making the same system but more powerful. If I want something like that, then I would go buy a PC.

@NintenGuy I didn't mean specs themselves. I meant internal features like your streetpasses or miiverse. What that weird second screenshot button does and the like.

Stuff that only an official reveal can really showcase.

Also given that the source is a redditor, I doubt any of what they're saying is true at all.

@NintenGuy We've only seen the externals of the console. Not what games will be exclusive to the thing or what the internal features that they're offering will be. I'm personally going to wait for the full reveal of the thing before deciding if I'll get it or not.

Never really cared to watch any of these. I guess it does well for a video game movie series, but it always came across as pretty uninspired. It's just another case of video game characters ending up in the real world- which is an over-done trope that keeps being reused.

@KoRn1619 It doesn't even exist anymore. The only way it'll ever exist is via a fan revival, and even then there's no way it'll be put on switch given that fans don't carry the Star Wars license- or even have the means to license it out.

It's so cool that the scope was going to be more seamless between Space fights and on-the-ground combat. The story mode also looked really neat, and it sucks that we never even got this. I would've much rather had Battlefront III than EA's Battlefront.

@Serpenterror You do realize that multiple companies make accessories for these consoles, right? And not all of them are Nintendo first party like the pro-controller.

The steering wheel you posted isn't the official one that Nintendo made. The Nintendo official steering wheels look exactly like the one shown in this rumor, albeit a slight bit smaller due to how the Switch 1's joycons are smaller than the Switch 2's.

@LavenderShroud @Keman The form factor of the console is real, just not the image here. The image here is a 3D printed version of the new joycon, given the absence of letters on the button faces.

There was a leak from a Chinese factory a couple of months ago that had a full 3D model which showcased the schematics of the console. That is a real leak as far as any of us are concerned, given that the shell for the console was made out of industrial materials that an average person wouldn't have lying around anywhere.

I'm someone who doesn't ordinarily believe leaks, but given how real the original image was, and how so many of these reputable manufacturers are literally creating accessories for this console- the leaks are pretty much real- regardless if Nintendo is confirming it or not.

@Nickinator The six finger thing was me jumping the gun since I heard it from a youtuber I was watching. After I looked back though, it doesn't look to be the case. However the video itself still could be generated by Ai given how weird the cuts are, and how SORA Ai is now open to public use.

Even if the video itself isn't Ai, the rest of it is. The whole steam page along with the photos on their website.

@Knightrider1 We don't know what the system is actually going to have on it, or what the feature-set is for the thing. Even though we know the form-factor, that's about it. The form of the console.

These joycons are 3D printed most likely, given they lack actual face letters on the buttons.

@yohn777 I pointed out multiple ways that it's Ai though. If you look at the site you'll see a ton of images of clothing that are illogical in design and have that strange glossy sheen that Ai is known for. Same with the images of cats. The literal description for the game on steam reads as a prompt in terms of how incoherent it is. They even have quotes from people who aren't involved in the game, with said quotes not even reading like a human actually said them. Hell, one of the quotes is from the Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood composer- who of which is said to be "working on the game," when in actuality they aren't.

@TopazLink There is proper evidence though. If you actually look at the trailer for the game, it's clear that it's Ai. The human character has six fingers on one hand. The "gameplay" portion of the trailer literally showcases Ai imagery. The description is written by Ai, and if you look into the background of the company making the game- they're known for making crypto and NFT games with Generative Ai as a scam. I don't think it gets any more evident than that.

@Olmectron Given that this company is known to be into both Ai and Crypto/NFTs, it's 100% Ai generated writing. The description isn't just "lazy writing," given that even people with lazy writing would string sentences together in a more cohesive way than this.

@N00BiSH Same. It's like how the "Monster Hunters" description was just a ChatGTP rephrasing of Monster Hunter Wild's description. These Ai scam games are flooding the market spaces, and I'm bewildered that anyone would trust this guy at his word when he says this isn't using Ai.

@N00BiSH Given how everything about this game screams generative Ai, the guy is literally telling a lie to the potential audience.

@babybilly It still requires me to upload to an external site I'm pretty sure. If you want proof though, go to the superauthently developer page. There's a banner image that is outright just an Ai cat. The fur gives off a pretty off-putting feel.

On top of that, the description of the game is extremely nonsensical and repetitive in the steam listing of the game.

"Step into an enchanting dream where humans and cats forge the ultimate bond. Collect stories and chase memories through the eyes of both human and cat. Embark on playful escapades, craft cozy havens, explore vibrant landscapes, plant, laugh, race, decorate, create, steer robots, dress up, mingle, cuddle, groom. Heartwarming delights await in a tale of breathtakingly beautiful cats."

Also a ton of the images at 0:46 of the cats have that same fake and glossy look that Ai art tends to have.

@Buizel Nope. They’re lying. If this site supported images I can show actual evidence that they use Ai in the actual game and on their developer page- but the site doesn’t support image sharing without uploading to another site.

And the guy is legit lying through his teeth. The designs of the cats in the “gameplay” segment of the trailer and the art on the game’s steam page along with on the company’s steam page are literally all Ai generated images.

People do realize the system isn’t actually going to be called the Nintendo Switch 2- right?

@Bolt_Strike The casual fanbase is the majority who buys into Nintendo's consoles. Adults who don't play many games. Children who's families got them the system for Christmas or Birthdays. I know tons of people who only play on Switch because it's a simple console for them to get into, and it offers family friendly games that they enjoy. Some buy it for the portability that it offers. There's a good reason why the Steamdeck hasn't outpaced the Switch, or why none of these other handheld computers outpaced the Switch. They're novelty items that are made to play PC games- and most of the people who own them already own a gaming PC. It's usually used as a way to play a PC game in bed, or on the go for when people can't just sit at the computer and play those games. Doesn't help that these devices tend to have terrible battery life (worse than the Switch).

Now if Sony or Microsoft got into the space and made their own handhelds that can compete on both price and battery life, then I'd be worried for the Switch 2 just being a more powerful Switch- but they haven't yet. There's rumors about it, but even then there's no telling how long a handheld PS5-like console would last in terms of it's battery.

@Bolt_Strike At this point it feels like Nintendo's only reach towards audiences is that they're more in tune with casual gamers. Those who aren't going to buy handheld computers- and are only looking at Nintendo for their exclusive games. A more powerful switch will sell with the people who aren't looking for something like the Steamdeck.

@Savage_Joe Ahh, so effectively they’re not scared of getting sued and are leaking the console in a way that gives them plausible deniability.

@Kawaiipikachu The video isn't Ai, but the cats themselves are designed by AI. They even show pictures of them from the actual "game," and it's all just Ai images.

I'm wondering how they're allowed to reveal the console like this. Especially if Nintendo hasn't showcased the thing yet.

I think this is a pretty interesting looking game. Definitely not what I would expect from something like PacMan. I don't even mind if it's an "edgy" re-imagining. Been wanting more dark takes on lighthearted series just for the general vibes of it.

@N00BiSH I’m surprised that things weren’t rigged in Elden Ring’s favor.

@N00BiSH This all looks Ai generated, so it isn't just you. No clue if it is- but God it feels like it's Ai generated.

@Baker1000 Nintendo is probably going to make them a full on support studio though.

Welp. This isn’t good, and I don’t get why people are celebrating it. There’s a high chance most monolith employees will be a support team.

There’s not going to be anything Nintendo related here. There never is. Not since Smash ended.

That being said, I’m going to watch it live this year (like I do every year), since I like wasting hours of my life that I’ll never get back.

@N00BiSH Ahh. Seems like I wasn't missing much by not watching it. Kinda makes me feel scared for the Zelda film if the Mario one was just a massive commercial with a ton of references and nothing more.

@Mariotag Yeah, the intro is pretty much the same from what I've read. My only thing with Brothership is that it isn't nearly as good as the other Mario and Luigi games. Especially not in showcasing the bond between the brothers.

@N00BiSH Jeez. So a lot of the movie is just a bunch of cheap "remember me" moments I'm guessing? I don't get why they didn't try to write something that's more in the Mario and Luigi style honestly. The bonds of brotherhood and going on adventures with the two.

Yeaah, I don't see why they would have him in a sequel given that the sequel is probably going to be more akin to the Mario that people are used to. Probably staying around the Mario world instead of New York.

Haven't watched the movie, but I would be surprised if the original ended with the Brothers returning home.

@PikaPhantom I wish they'd orchestrate the OSTs. Twilight Princess was legitimately made for Orchestrated music.

@PikaPhantom I hope it isn't the case. They really need to remake Twilight Princess instead of having a lazy HD port.

Okay, but where's the Twilight Princess and Windwaker Ports Nate promised us?! Where's the Switch 2? Surely it was supposed to be revealed in Summer 2023- I mean Summer 2024!!!!!

This guy is a quack. Why do we still pretend he has anything relevant to say, or that anything he says is factual in the slightest?
