I would love a remaster of OTHER: M with analog controls. I love the combat system. I wish the game was longer and the story is.... something. But, man I love the action. And pointing the remote to fire missiles worked great. I swear people didn't realize you could flick the remote to dodge while in that mode....

Was able to pre-order one from the NOA store. So psyched, as it took a year for me to get a couple of N64 pads! Can't wait for my kids to play Windwaker with one of the most original controllers ever!

Reading comments like these makes me think the system is really capable of running at XBOX Series S levels; and maybe a little higher. I believe it's basically a PS4 PRO, but software and driver improvements over the last few years will hopefully let it be capable of more current ports. I am waiting to see what STAR WARS: OUTLAWS looks like...

Stood in line at GameStop, but still registered to try and snag a GCN NSO pad!

@deecas
Same here. Any Game-Key releases (unless something the whole family will play) I will wait for a sale and buy digitally. I have OUTLAWS on PS5, but will probably get it on the eshop once it hits a decent sale.

GamePass on Switch2 would be insane. TBH, I usually only buy first-party Nintendo games at full price; everything else on sale. Also, with the Key-Card situation, I will just wait until those games go on sale on the e-shop; just like I did with last gen with download codes in-box. Honestly, I don't think much will change for my gaming habits.

I already own it on PS5, so I would most likely get it for Switch2 on sale digitally if at all.

@Ryu_Niiyama
Ditto.

If it's a game my family will be constantly sharing, so I don't have to send a Virtual Card constantly, then yes. Otherwise, I will just wait for sales and download it digitally as I typically do with Switch games that require a massive download. Only game I didn't do that with was Arkham Trilogy as I wanted Asylum at least physically.

I really don't mind DK's new look. I'm super psyched for BANAAAANZA!!!!

That Jody Summers rescue mission was BRUTAL!!!

I really want a KID ICARUS: UPRISING port with mouse controls. That, STAR FOX, and F-ZERO would be the dormant franchises I would want back.

Already ordered the Satisfye Zen Grip 2 bundle w/case. Will be ordering screen protectors soon from Amazon and possibly a Micro SD Express Card. On May 8th, will try to snag a GCN NSO controller if offered one by the NA My Nintendo store.

Oooooh.... 50/50 at the moment. I chose Japan as I really like the map background.

Went and stood in line at my local GameStop. Decided to pick up the system and MKW physically. I'm a sucker for my physical collection :/

@FunGuy
Pretty damned bummed when they weren't on the Sega Genesis Mini 2; only the Mega Drive Mini 2 in Japan. I want the originals. Nothing else. Just the Sega CD games!

I really hope HOGWARTS LEGACY gets a paid upgrade on the Switch. I've already bought the game three times now between PS5, PS4, and Switch.

Hopefully the Direct next week will show us a great deal of single-player content both in terms of racing and exploration. With the wall jumping and grinding, we may be looking at a racing-platformer. All I wanted was DKR crossed with MK. We are getting closer!

This is perfect. I have WW HD and it's great, but I do prefer the overall look of the GCN original. It would be cool if they came out with TP on NSO as well and then released the HD editions for Switch 2. (Hopefully in a GCN Double-Pack #WishfullThinking)

@Synecdoche
I am thinking METROID and MARIO for Fall/Holidays. I know Pokemon will be there, but a new 3D Mario would definitely move systems.

The GBA and GCN were pretty solid. Switch2 is not too shabby. That being said, I voted for the SNES. SMW, Pilotwings, and F-ZERO is a pretty solid first-party line-up. Add ACTRAISER and SUPER GHOULS AND GHOSTS in the launch window and it's stellar. Maybe if DK was Day 1, then the S2 would edge it out. Also, as for a launch YEAR line-up.... Switch 1 for sure.

Us poor NAs looking on in admiration. (Sorry Canada for getting pulled into all this).

If this is truly the case, I will just buy the Switch editions of Mario Party: Jamboree and MP4 as I already own all of the other confirmed titles. I hope, at least, the S2 edition of MP4 has the update on the cartridge. I really do, because all of this is far too confusing for the average consumer.

I have WW:HD on my WiiU, so no it's there in my physical collection. TBH, I like the original GCN graphics better. Timeless cel-shaded goodness that the GCN excelled at. Will be happy to replay it via Switch Online.

I think the performance boost will be most evident down the line. Let's see if we get some good Microsoft ports; Bethesda, ID, etc. At the end of the day, this feels like the DS to the 3DS for me; which is nothing to sneeze at. However, it does not feel like a proper console generational leap. That said, I figured $400-$450 USD would be the price and I am fine paying that. The thing that's killing my excitement is the increase in price for the software. I already had a hard time keeping up for my family and this hobby. I typically wait for my PS5 titles to drop to $30-$40 USD; partly because I know first-party Nintendo titles don't go on sale and I need to budget. Now, the big releases are $70-$80 USD? Kirby and Mario Party Switch 2 editions are $80??? This will keep me from fully jumping in on day one. Even though I NEED DK: BANANZA in my life!

The Treehouse segment made DragXDrive look really fun to me. If it's a $25.00 download title I would probably pick it up.

TBH. I have always felt that digital versions should be $10.00 USD to $20.00 USD cheaper. Of course that was BEFORE the price increase of the cartridges. Also, the Game-Key option seems like a happy medium the more I think about it. Keep the cost down, but still allow you to sell the "cartridge" down the line if you want. It sucks, but felt something like this was going to happen with the larger file sizes of PS4/PS5 and XB1/XBX games. It's the N64 all over again, lol.

Just give me an upgrade patch for THE WITCHER 3. I have CyberPunk on my PS5 and don't see me jumping over to the S2 version.

Just give me 1 remastered. (Though I would be lying if I said I didn't want REACH really bad...)

@Scrubelicious
That's honestly what I would want. Dual image on the TV from the dock.

@rjejr
Thanks! I've actually been saying it for years along with the possibility of a VR headset that the S2 slides into since the added horsepower could put out dual images better than we got with Labo. I just really miss the asymmetrical multi-player the WiiU had. My family still plays our WiiU regularly. Bring on NINTENDOLAND 2!!!!

@harrystein
I saw the original live-action SMB movie twice on opening weekend. I have all 3 collectible 7-11 promotional slurpee cups. I imported the blu-ray from Australia. I take the SMB movie for what it is; a live-action adaptation. And I enjoy the hell out of it. The new SMB animated film ended up being what I feared it would; a by-the-numbers Illumination production (Luigi sidelined the whole movie!?!?!). However, still took thr kids to see it in 3D. The Sonic movies do what they do and are at least partially faithful to the video games. What I meant from my comment was that Zelda needs to be better than all of these in order for Nintendo to allow a trilogy to be made. This isn't Sony/Constantin films pumping out 9 RESIDENT EVIL flicks because zombies=$$$. I am sure that if Zelda is mediocre in quality, it will still make money. They just need to remember the magic word; verisimilitude.

To me this was all about color. I feel the best cover would have been the NA logo over Japan's Teal background.

My Limited Run Games copy of CASTLEVANIA: DOMINUS COLLECTION finally arrived! Held off from double-dipping. First time playing OoE and the art is the best of the handheld entries. HAUNTED CASTLE: REVISTED was pretty rad, too. Also, I forgot how good PORTRAIT OF RUIN actually is! Just more evidence as to why CASTLEVANIA is my favorite video game franchise.

I hope it's better than the Super Mario Bros. Movie.... ( both of them)

I believe it will be a 'Connect' button for either social interaction or to connect to the TV so you can use the Switch and Dock simultaneously for WiiU style gaming (hope of hopes).

@jufonuk
PREACH!

@Jawz32U
Holidays. Probably Thanksgiving.

This is exactly what I have been wanting! Sega's SPIDER-MAN, Data-East's CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE AVENGERS, and Konami's UNCANNY X-MEN are three of my favorite arcade games of all-time. After the perfection of SHREDDER'S REVENGE, I could not be more excited as this looks to be a great homage to those three titles.

Legit. I still think the Switch2 boxes will be bordered dark grey or black to differentiate the systems' software on store shelves. I hope the Switch2 will have baked-in upscaling/FPS increases on Switch1 titles, but I wouldn't mind a Switch2 version of this with the black border. Reversible covers, please!

@Ulysses
Exactly my take-away.

This was a hard one. Not many games for me personally. It's clear that Nintendo is going to position the Switch/Lite as a cozy games/general audiences device with 90% of their AAA and AA output focused on the Switch2. A great strategy TBH, at least until the Switch2 Lite with a new Animal Crossing drops. It was awesome to see new gameplay of MP4 (energy shot bending!) and the reveal of Tribute working on a Marvel beat-em-up had me giddy. My kids have been wanting a new Tamogatchi Life, so that will make them happy. Also, being able to share digitally purchased games easier within our household will definitely alleviate some issues. Was sad we didn't see some new ports for Kirby, Kid Icarus, F-Zero, or Star Fox. Hopefully there will be full-on HD GCN support for the Switch2. Only a little under a week to go!

I would love KIRBY'S EPIC YARN, but would prefer 4K on Switch 2. A different Kirby port and MP4 seem like the only sure things. Feel like most GCN stuff will be saved for Switch2 outside of a couple remasters.

I really hope DOOM: THE DARK AGES comes to Switch2.

I hope this is indicative of upgraded frame rates and resolution patches being available for Switch 1 software on the new console. So may games would benefit of it's relatively easy to implement or is hardware based. Never having a PS4 Pro, when we got our PS5 being able to play many of my older games in 60 fps was a game changer (no pun intended). So much so that now Performance Mode is my preferred way to play all PS titles. FPS > Graphics all day long!

Give me a set with Ash, the professor, and the three original starters that can all fit into a large Lego Poke'Ball.

Use MP4 to show the native upscaling capabilities of the S2. (Please let this be the case! I need resolution and frame-rate patches for the big S1 titles!)

Day one. Please. I need some GCN goodness back in my life!

@ScalenePowers
X does not get enough love. Gameplay system hits, art direction is the best in the series, and I would say the music is the best in the series too.

Someone just spent $84K+ USD on a Cheeto that looks like Charzard. So I never know anymore. Basically, the distribution of wealth is so wonky right now some people have WAAAAAY too much disposable income and are happy to drive up auction prices on something like this. I'm thinking $8K to $10K.
