@bleeflooflah my thoughts too. This needs more attention. Could be inbox in new messaging system. Although wouldn’t that be in GameChat function? Could it be casting to TV perhaps? Possibly through the dock. Certainly the big rectangle makes me think TV and the curved lines are going towards the TV not away. I would have thought though that if it was casting the curved lines would come from under the TV as if from the console in your hands. Intriguing

If it was $6.66 I’d be interested

I disagree with this design choice. I’ll be racing F-Zero GX on NSO with my original spice orange GC controller and GC adapter. Or I’ll go back to my original GC + GC Carby plus mClassic on original hardware (forced to output 480p upscaled to 1440p with mClassic) for the (somewhat) authentic experience and still unbelievably beautiful game.

@Samalik I haven’t connected my Wii to the internet in years and all my downloaded games are just fine so I’m not sure what your point is. They can’t just magically turn downloaded games off if they work offline.

@electrolite77 @OorWullie I agree with you both here! Obviously I’d rather the full game on cart but this isn’t such a bad idea. More transparent than an incomplete game on cart and plus get to share the game around with family and mates.

@Samalik you don’t lose ownership! You own the right to play the game that you have downloaded onto 1 or possibly more of your devices. You just can’t resell the cart if the download function ever stops.

We really don’t know how much content there’ll be in this manual/tech demo thing so I’m not getting carried away. Having said that, unless it’s got “good game content” I’m probably not going to buy it and if it was free I probably would have played it for a couple of mins only so no big loss. If it’s informative and fun then likely to be worth the money. Wii Sports pack in spoiled us me thinks.

The C stands for Cube!!

@charliecarrot it’s much more likely to mean connect to dock to stream

@Sonicka yeh imagine if it’s just “Center” when using motion controls…

So if the dock has a higher voltage rating are we thinking this could ‘connect’ to the dock to stream the video and then perhaps the dock also upscales the low res video as well using NVidia AI magic to reduce the burden on the battery? I’m a little behind on this Connect dual screen theory.

Obviously it’s to instantly order a Curry!

“What’s in the box, Zion?!” That’s the Switch Se7en tagline!

Any Direct with Metroid in gets 10/10 by default. No arguing. This is just how it is.

They are saying all this yet they know nothing about the game. That says it all to me

I’m imaging now that the top USB-C on Switch 2 could be used for a little plug-in player facing camera. And this shadow effect could be adjusted using head tracking to create an illusion of depth. As the depth of the shadow in real 3D would depend on what angle you are looking from. Could be a cool little feature in 2D-3D games.

@Clyde_Radcliffe yeh I hear you. NSO is going nowhere, why have they announced this little update now when it’s happening in 7 months time? It feels weird. I can’t get my head around this announcement.

Something is telling me this might coincide with a certain console release date. I hope not as I need that puppy in my hands sooner but this announcement feels weird. Why would people be cancelling their NSO membership at that time? Why give people an incentive to cancel. Me don’t like.

My Neural Network has been activated! Excited by this. I hope it extends up to 4k and works on Switch 1 games.

£/$400 feels too much to me. Out of impulse territory. £350 sweet spot

Let’s be honest most of the top 10 are some of the greatest games of all time. Personal preference will sway from game to game but let’s rejoice in just how consistently good mainline Mario games are! But anyway my personal favourite is Banjo Kazooie (jk).

Goldeneye brought joy to millions of people, bringing friends together for insane multiplayer fun like no game had done before. I had many mates that weren’t gamers at all but wanted to have goldeneye sessions late into the night. Not many games have ever had the same effect. It is legendary and this hall of fame rubbish can never change that.

I love how Digital Foundry’s “significantly different” translates to “can just about spot a difference” in normal parlance.

@SoIDecidedTo Eternal Darkness broke the 4th wall so much that we now live in eternal darkness awaiting a sequel that will never come.

Over my dead body!

I have the original mClassic and while it doesn’t do much to improve HD signals it does improve 480p signal a lot. This alone makes it worth its weight in gold for me.

I sure hope Wave Race 4 passes 10 million in the next financial year.

I’d definitely be interested at 0.001% of the asking price.

Scum bring scum. The repercussions for such behaviour should be much more than simply delisting the title.

the difference between this remaster and the original is like Knight and day.

@Sylamp yes it’s sad, I was referring to the greatest futuristic racer of all time. And I put 128 in there which was a nod to Mario128 which laid the foundations for Pikmin, another series close to my aging heart. I do these things for my own amusement you see cos life - without WaveRace, F-zero and 1080 -is rather boring.

I want them to implant a modern SFX chip developed my Argonaut straight into my brain to enhance the visuals beyond our imaginations. Anything less and I’m not interested! Oh wait - sorry I forgot I don’t really care too much about specs. Give me fun games, stylised or not, don’t care just pump them this way please!!

I can wait. Unless it’s being demoed with the new F-Zero128 title developed my Amusement Vision. Now that I can’t wait for.

@Zaruboggan Wave Race 4. Switch 2 launch window title. It’s happening. (I’m deluded).

@Max_the_German this I can totally agree with! Most side quests I completed I just assumed were part of the main game because they were that good! Brilliant brilliant game

These polls are good but they’ll likely be skewed in favour of the most popular games as many people will not have played all the titles and therefore vote for the best one they know. The only other way I can think would be for each reader to assign a score to each side quest - much like rating games. This might reduce some of this bias.

How is it that a company of EA’s size produces so few games. Is it because most of the profit goes to shareholders and not into making actual games? It baffles me. Ninty is actually quite a small company yet they produce many more games and R&D hardware and the rest. Profit for profits’s sake has gone too far. If EA disappeared would the industry be worse off?

Seems like good numbers for a rerelease. Note to Ninty: people love Donkey Kong so release a new title please, 2D or 3D just do it already!

What’s the opposite of doomed?! Nintenboomed? NintenSmashingIt? NintenTakeMyMoneyNOW

I cannot unsee this. Anyone got a Time Machine?

@speedracer216 you didn’t have to blow. The Wii remote doesn’t have a mic. You pressed crouch and shook controller to make DK drop and blow. Yes the shaking controller was a bit different and not everyone’s taste. I concentrated on getting good at a firm quick shake and beating this rock hard as nails awesome game. Unless are you referring to 3DS version? That would make sense

A good game is a good game is a good game. Happy for all those enjoying this game for the first time!

The wide open and very bare scenery in the trailer suggests to me that either this was put together in a hurry or it’s MKMaker. Looks a bit modular as well. This would be a good type of game to showcase the new mouse functionality.

@1UP-HUSKY it’s more to gauge the initial reaction than flame some console wars isn’t it? How else can we gauge the reaction of the general public who don’t have a moaning YouTube channel? I was only explaining to my nephew yesterday that consoles are utterly ridiculous. The gaming industry needs Nintendo and dare I say it Nintendo needs healthy competition to keep them innovating.

It’s going to be all about the games from now. This reveal was to stop the stupid leakers damaging the hype. Bring on the GAMES! - Looking at you WaveRace and F-Zero

It’s the market correcting itself after a rise over last few days and a meh reveal. Nothing to see here.

@Smithicus I think it’s more likely 8Deluxe was internally referenced as the 9th mainline console game which means next up could be 10. But what about Live Circuit I hear you say? Yes indeed. And the arcade versions? Oh now, it’s getting messy. Whatever, they are finally getting ready to lift the lid on a new console version! Whoop!

@Lofoten oh I forgot about MarioKart Live!! Arcade games don’t count in my mind as they are developed by Namco. Anyway who cares we’re getting a new one finally!!!! Plus WaveRace4 (hopefully/never gonna happen).

You press it and the Gameboy Camera pops out the top of the console.

@Lofoten 8deluxe could be considered the 9th title and then Tour (albeit presumably not considered mainline) could be considered 10. This could be MK11 and the two 1s turn into the lanes on a dead straight highway leading to the vast openess of an open world MK.
