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.

@Antraxx777 OMG if it does… well I’ll soil my pants and book a week off work. I’m prepared to be disappointed. If MK9/10 is launch title I doubt they’d release another racing title at launch to compete in the racing sphere unfortunately.

The SwiitchTu is here everyone. It’s just a screen accessory for the original swiitch right? and it’ll launch with NewNintendoLand and ZombieTu?

Imagine if we have to wait until the end of March for an announcement! Oh the agony. Regarding this rumour: I can’t see it happening the same day as DKRHD gets released but fingers are crossed

This with REmake, the Metroid Prime games and the two Zeldas make the cube such an awesome machine. Chuck in F-Zero GX, WaveRace, 1080 and a brilliant Mario Kart for good measure and racing fans are covered. Gaming nights with Monkey Ball and Double Dash were only ever matched by MK64 and Goldeneye nights a few years prior. What a time.

Someone call the plumber!! My favourite site is losing all credibility with all these leaks.

@Qwiff this is easily just as good as Tropical Freeze. While I’ll hand it to you that LM3 is objectively better in most ways than LM2 and I understand not wanting to buy LM2 port this is different. (Id recommend playing LM2 on 3DS anyway for the 3D effect). But DKR is one of my favourite games from the Wii era and is every bit as good as TF. Unless they bodged this HD port ofc.

@Summer235 depends on your perspective. For those that haven’t played before perhaps it’s quite steep. For those that get to experience for the first time perhaps it’s an absolutely brilliant game deserving of the price. I’m in the former category but very happy new players get to experience an absolute gem

@DiamondJim I’m not rebuying it - I have the Wii original and loved the hell out of it back in the day but don’t feel the need to buy it again. My view is this release is mainly for the people that haven’t played it before to get to enjoy a brilliant game. My nephew wasn’t even alive when the 3DS version (!) was released and he’s getting it (I insisted as obviously I wanna pop round and show him how to DK properly).

Does this leak come in a cheesy sauce? Nope! Not interested. More food for thought, apparently the logo seen here is identical to an early fan made mock up from 2023. I’ll see if I can find the link. Something smells.

@calbeau I recommend plenty of isotonic drinks and water. While drinking water alone will help, you’ll also dilute all the other natural salts as presumably you’ve been self-medicating with only NaCl. Good luck. Hopefully this BS publicity stunt pandemic will be over soon.

So you’ll telling me the force of someone’s thumb press is enough to prise apart but with the whole hand you need to brute force it off? Something smells.

Edit: while I understand grip strength can be very strong this is Nintendo, they would design it so that kids will be able to disconnect the JC without the thumb press strength of an adult.

My prediction is the console will launch with some games to buy as well, it will play said games and some people including myself will buy console and games and play said games. Do I get a job as an analyst?

@KayFiOS yes they always misspell analcyst.

@HotGoomba perhaps SwiitchU? With a standard white version and a black deluxe version launching with more storage and NintendolandDeluxe. And then market it the exact same as original Switch (same logo etc) just to make sure everyone knows it’s a new console right?

I'm sick of these publicity stunt leaks. From now on I am only consuming leaks if they come in a nice cheesy sauce

Most of the time. Don’t enjoy playing without them. SL/SR too small for me grubby fingers

The Switch has left the stable!
In struts the new stallion/pony (TBC).

@swoose does the warranty info on the Nintendo page reference a Switch 2 JC after inputting this serial number? Seems just as likely that the serial number was copied from a previous Switch 1 JC.

Does growing and plucking Pikmin not count as farming?! 😉

@Euler I agree they are more likely to go with a creative name more representative of whatever the new thing is about the next version that they want to emphasise. I just think if they choose to go with a numbered entry again I think they’ll consider it to be the 10th or even 11th version of MK when you add MKTour into the mix. IIRC they went with using 7 as it’s considered a lucky number in many places around the world and 8 as it makes a figure of 8 track. If there’s an extreme element perhaps MKXtreme! Who knows. I sure hope it looks and feels different to 8D.

@OorWullie yes WaveRace 4 will look amazing!!

This confirms it. The Switch successor will play games!!

@HalBailman finally some sense! Agree with everything you said. You are now my number 1 source for logical and obvious extrapolations!

I’m guessing the next Mario Kart will be MK10 (or MKX) as 8Deluxe is so huge and extended beyond the original WiiU 8 it’s likely its own numbered entry.

If today is day 1 then 1+99=100 so only 99days to go! But whatever. I voted Feb reveal. BRING IT ON Already.

This is so meta. A rumour suggesting that another rumour is true. What a web of BS.

I hope their slide is purposely designed to look like a Windows 95 PowerPoint slide… otherwise that’s not a good look

Something smells around here.

@Astropez agreed. Achievements can piss off. Player rewards should be built in to the game design seamlessly not tacked on with naff little meaningless trophies.

I’m filing this rumour under uninspired BS and it can sit alongside the other several hundred BS rumours that are boring me to death. Give me some real news please!

Something sure stinks with this one.

@Grackler they released a rumble pak compatible version in JP. I have it and the rumble is so strong it’s off the charts. Beats HD rumble hands down.

No way!! Finally some WaveRace love!!

@SBandy1 totally agree!! The water physics are sublime. Let’s have a Wave Race 64HD release before all new wave race 4.

@SBandy1 10 gold stars for mentioning Wave Race!!! You have made my day.

I’m glad all the comments so far echo my thoughts. No one artist is bigger than the IP. Get a grip.
