The continued success in JP has no doubt contributed to this rumoured Super Switch release date push back to 2025. I am more than happy to start seeing sales drop off now.

The thought of my dear Samus in Fortnite makes me retch.

Nothing on Switch beats GRID Autosport classic Minis need I say more.

Anyone else want switch sells to drop off so that we get the Super Switch a little sooner?

oh RARE come home my dear child. You have been gone long enough.

Ricky Winterborn!!!

@carlos82 Alien?

Surely it should swivel 1080 degrees instead

Stunt Race FX is still a favourite of mine so frame rates can do one. I’m sure my girls won’t notice a thing. Bring it on

Assuming the Super Switch is backwards compatible I really hope devs release patches to unlock Super Switch performance on games like this.

If they do I’ll be all over this game.

@Mr_Monochrome but if you’ve already purchased them you don’t need a subscription service because you’ve already got them. Doesn’t the license dictate that you can play the game on a particular console? Not on every machine that the company ever puts out

I want it to be a Luigi’s Mansion Horror film. Blair Witch style shaky cam. Daisy and Peach team up to rescue the Mario bros. Toads get sacrificed along the way. Yes it’s dark and it’s all masterminded by Waluigi.

So please explain why would I as a legal owner of a game and legal owner of a console to play said game want to emulate it on PC? So I can mod it? Improve it? But then I’m not playing the original game and the creators’ original vision. I’ve got the console. This I don’t understand. And expecting to be able to play a game on every Nintendo device ever because I once bought the licence is unbelievable. You bought the game. Keep the game. Look after your console and game, and guess what you can play said game. Congratulations. Why won’t my VHS collection play on every AV device ever? Why won’t I always get everything ever and more? Why do business look after their IP? Why do businesses need to make money and not give me stuff for free for ever and ever.

I was hoping it was NLG but thinking about it I hope they are working on LM4 and some other gems.

My girls loved it so looks like a purchase here. Not impressed with the unstable frame rate though for such a simplistic game. I assume it’s made in Unity. It needs some polish. Anyway my girls don’t care about that stuff.

I wish it was the 4th of Metroid already. I’m bored of March.

Sorry to inform everyone but the Nintendo hierarchy are kindly waiting for me to finish my backlog before launching the Switch 2. Please be patient. My backlog is disgusting.

Jesus I was taken by surprise with this Partner Showcase. I want nearly half of the games announced!! With this one being top of the pile with World of Goo 2 and Endless Ocean

Instant buy. Wii game was so gooooooood

I have zero expectation for anything that I’ll be interested in. I hope I’m wrong.
EDIT actually a Cadence of Hyrule sequel would get me excited.

Pre ordered the full version with the pin, notebook and bag from the Nintendo store for my self - can't wait!
And yes of course I'm going to let my daughters play!

My two girls CANNOT wait for this.

I want MP4 to be a Switch 2 exclusive launch title. None of this cross gen stuff. I want to be blown away. Some more shiny remasters this year to add to my backlog will suffice.

I love a good stretch too. It’s great for me aging back. But I feel you’ve stretched too far this time.

My two girls are really excited about this game now after seeing Mermaid Peach and it has nothing to do with how much leg is on display. And I can’t wait to play with them which also has nothing to do with how much leg is on display.

@TheBigK …. …. …. …. …. (Speechless)

I was waiting for the inevitable blue shell at the end and Metroid Prime remastered to come steaming through from last but alas missed opportunity.

I’m predicting a Princess Peach Nintendo Direct or a mini Direct in Feb with no new console reveal. Then in Summer an announcement for the new console with the official Switch 2 trailer (direct) in autumn for release spring 2015.

I wish I could temporarily forget all 3D games and go through the 2D to 3D transition again. Oh my, I doubt any leap forward in gaming will ever coming close to that sense of amazement for me.

No Pikmin = sad face

People are going to be so shocked if they do their usual and release something out of left field no one saw it coming. Perhaps a portable console the size of a couple credit cards stuck together that sits in your wallet and transmits to mixed reality glasses. I so hope they stick to the Switch idea and beef up the specs

Go my little Pikmin - Tear up those sales charts!!

Does this point towards new hardware being released Spring next year? Free up server space for launch title Metroid MMO? Where we are all bounty hunters trying to hunt down Samus.

If Nintendo wants the Super Switch to sell gangbusters and it has the same form factor and USP as the original then BC is essential IMO. If BC isn’t included the first year of console sales will likely be slow especially if they don’t release new genre defining games like BoTW was for the Switch. Metroid Prime will sell no doubt but it’s unlikely to sell as much as Zelda/Mario/Pokémon etc. Having said that we have no idea what they’ve got up their sleeve. Their next device may not be BC because the games are beamed directly into our brains - we have no idea. I jest but you get my point.

I wonder if they tried the 3DS games on switch with VR labo. They could have released a 3D collection. Anyway I remember playing LM2 / dark moon every night for a few weeks and thinking how polished the game is. I really enjoyed the humour and thought the 3D effect was great. Shame stereoscopic 3D gaming has died

@sanderev exactly this. The 3DS game looks great on the actual 3DS screen. In this blown up comparison video obviously it’s not going to look so good

@larryisaman but the switch in docked mode isn’t the same as a portable console outputting to TV.

@Piyo the missus asked me to dust the front room the other day so I picked up my xbox and held it in my hands as I moved around the house. It really makes a good hand held portable dust catcher. You should try it.

BTW only one other person has mentioned Wave Race. Unacceptable behaviour! We need more Wave Race

I am turning into a broken record but seriously if they announce a new game in any of the following racing IPs I will piss myself with joy.

Wave Race
ExciteBike/Truck/Bots
1080
F-Zero
Diddy Kong Racing
Stunt Racing FX
Pilotwings (yes not technically a racing IP)

Just do it Ninty. Stop messin'

I’d rather they just released a new Waverace

You just know this game is going to be packed with innovation. I hoping for a lot of challenging post completion content.

This short list does not mech me happy

Great game great game Great game. Timing the boost takes a bit of practice but once you nail it it’s awesome

“We had a bit of a giddy retro thrill seeing it run as originally intended”.

Umm what? Playing the original game - warts and all - on a 50inch HD TV is not how is was originally intended. Stick it on a 20inch 4:3 CRT and it looks so so much better.

Switch 2 doesn't need to innovate for the sake of it. However we all know Ninty will likely do something totally left field.
IMO Super Switch: More powerful without affecting current battery life. Backwards compatible which includes pro controllers and possibly even original JCs as well. Improved new JC design. NSO titles carry over. Make it Indigo. Done. 200 million sold over the next 6-8 years. Oh and don’t forget the amazing software of course but that’s a given.

I hope they take the same specs as the PS5 and squeeze it into a Switch sized portable device with a 4k screen and infinite battery power.

Pilotwings 64 on original hardware with my N64D/mClassic combo. Serene

@Rottytops I see you’re PooPooing OoT on purpose. How clever!

But seriously OoT was considered by many to be the greatest game ever made for a long time. Don’t knock it.

@Cashews I think I am butt hurt that they haven’t updated one of their many great racing IPs for a decade or so now. WaveRace, F-zero, DKR, 1080, ExciteTruck/Bike, Pilotwings etc.
