WoomyNNYes

I can't see the Mario Kart World concept working for the switch hardware. Which makes me wonder how Mario Kart World looked & worked for the Switch before they changed it for Switch 2.

I still can't believe the absence of 3d rayman since switch launched.

@marktehshark69 Keep an eye on jake randall's youtube for switch 2 stock updates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKVonelGdPs

Plus, there's a rumor that target stores will have stock on launch day - these will be for in-store purchase only, not competing with bots. Target stocks new consoles in the morning, so try going when they open. If you don't see any out, ask the electronics department person if all the stock is out on the floor or if they know what day new stock is coming. If they can tell you the day they get new stock, try to show up when they open.

More info is likely to surface as launch nears. So, target may not be the only retailer offering in-store only consoles. I expect jake randall to keep on top of that.

I think the success of game key cards will be the result of whether young people know any better, which depends on when they were born mostly. I'd love to be wrong.

I'd rather pay the extra for game card that publishers won't.

I'd rather pay a $15 switch tax for the full game on a game card.

My kingdom for the option to buy full games on a game card!

Will physical game card capacity ever settle down to bring prices down? Gee whiz. I'm excited for express cards, but here we go again with physical game cards scaring off game publishers for switch 2.

I want High On Life, but I may have to wait for a switch 2 version.

@Osmium Ditto, I enjoyed Trover, too.

I picked Spaltoon, but only because I didn't want super mario to get all the votes, I also want that equally.

I want first person view! ...like the mario kart VR ride at Universal's Nintendo World. I know it's not the best functionally (as evident in MK7), but I still like it! I hope there's a first person view option or update.

Come on NL, I wanna be surprised when I brick mine!😉

My gamestop was toxic (it closed, unsurprisingly). This is why I refused to shop there, and preferred to shop at best buy or target, where I won't get hassled.

Although, I will say, in-store-only pre orders was great. I hope other retailers do these.

If Tomtoc had a their slim hard cases out for switch 2, I would have gladly ordered that accessory with my switch 2 preorder. Do case options have to be so poor for console launch preorders?

What's my incentive to use Nintendo Today when Nintendo's priority lately is not-revealing things?😆 There's kind of no point for it lately. I think Nintendo just needs their own news feed page. Needing to open this app just feels like a homework assignment.

I downloaded it and never saw anything interesting in it. We only care about securing a switch 2 lately. I want to know about switch 2's 3d mario, but nintendo's keeping that secret indefinitely.

@HammerKirby I think the chance of it being a fake pro controller is higher than I want to mess around with. I've already had at least one terrible misleading product from a third party seller on walmart's site. Plus, I've seen at least one post from someone with a pro controller problem, and as we probed further, it turned out to be knockoff from a third party seller on the walmart site. That seller, "Care for There", with that current $45 listing, only has one review rating, which isn't a confidence booster.😆 I'm mainly outlining these details in case the info benefits anyone else that may be reading. Thank you, though!😉

Dang it. If Best Buy preorders go live at noon on the 24th, I'm going to miss it. Unbelievable timing. My money has been ready all month.

@HammerKirby Nintendo brand pro controller, new, where? https://www.dekudeals.com/items/pro-controller

Joycon and pro controller prices were already too high, especially for families. $95 joycons and $85 pro cons, oof. On top of that, switch joycons and procons have gotten about zero sales in the US since 2021.

Does Nintendo need to re-assess their controller philosophy? Controller innovation is nintendo's thing, but does a family need 4k rumble, nfc reader, optical sensors for a second set of joycons for little timmy and tammy to play Mario Party? I'm not sure I've ever seen any decent joycon alternatives from third parties.

If I can play new modern games & Nintendo games with switch 2, this actually saves me money because now don't have to buy two consoles(nintendo + PS/Xbox).

Oof. Ok. Well, if I can replace a stick without soldiering, that will be a good step. The pro controllers sticks required soldering. If these new controllers are easier for cosumers to repair, that would be very welcome!

I'm guessing kawamoto's jacket is ironically oversized/artsy/trendy like some harajuku-like fashion trend.😆 I think ive seen some other artsy designers dress similar on NHK World<3

I played the GC version, with the slower sailing. I only want to play HD for faster sailing. I've been waiting for WW HD since switch launch, and I'm holding out for HD. I can't care enough to justify NSO expansion subscription.

@dartmonkey I have to avoid TOTK Switch 2 edition, because I don't want to upgrade my TOTK ver. 1.1.1. I'm too burned out on scarce resources of TOTK, and I only completed the game because of the easy paraglider duplication glitch.

I think it's kind of ironic that I never felt the need to duplicate in BOTW, but with TOTK, the scarcity of some resources or zonai devices just felt too restricting for me to enjoy the game and continue playing past a certain point without the dupe glitch. Maybe BOTW's infinite bombs spoiled me, and I can't go back to not having them.😆

Dangit. I just wanted to get my pre order over with. Sigh.

Thanks NL for the update<3

I'm not sure I'll want these upgrades. Although, these upgrade packs may be worth it on a large 4k tv. Since current switch looks kinda low res on a large 4k tv.

Wow, I assumed it would be $400. Dang. $450 and I'll still need a pro controller. Now I'm dreading how much the pro con will cost.

That joycon 2 grip better be a charging grip!

@OldGamer999 I don't think the direct mentioned if switch pro cons will work with switch 2.

Unboxing an oled before things change? Who's premise was this!?🤣 Guessing zion. I'm not actually disappointed. Just poking fun. I will watch the video.

Still playing Rocket League. Might try Mario Wonder, but 2d platformers don't tend to excite me too much. As far as I can tell, I'm mostly waiting for Switch 2. I'm not sure anything else will come out for the Switch that I want. (I don't like many games)

@John_Deacon Yeah, I think it is rare. I've maybe only seen one or two games get a price reduction. Whatever it is, it's sparse. I think Wii U and 3DS were the last console generations for Nintendo Selects, a permanent price reduction for popular games toward the end of a console generation's cycle. I'm guessing you've noticed these days, publishers across the board prefer to keep full retail price now, but offer periodic sales to game the best seller list system. I guess I can't complain, because most games you want, you can find them on sale if you're patient (or watch dekudelas price tracking).

Wow, it's rare these days when a game gets a price reduction.👌

Someone needs to turn nintendo's clocks ahead one month to fool them into putting out the Switch 2 direct a month early.

The track portal jumping thing looks too jarring to me. I'm not sure Crossworlds is going to get out of the shadow or All-Stars Racing Transformed.

Maybe I'm a freak, but I ended up playing up playing Meow Motors and Mini Motor Racing X more than I did Sonic Team Racing. I guess I don't like sega? I'd LOVE a Crash Team Racing sequel. I'm definitely dying to see more of Mario Kart 9.

I've been waiting forever for Mario Wonder to get a sale. I wonder if major retailers will finally put it on sale in March?🤔

Is Ninetndo maybe waiting for switch 2 to address eshop shovelware/slop? I don't think it's helping them.

Why not here

These days, I think it may be a short lived novelty for most. I'm not sure its coming back. If they can make it work, I welcome it.

I get it. I could see how game development work could kill the illusion of the game, or have other negative impacts.

Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip!, Feb 13. I hope it performs well on the switch.

How about letting us zero out accounts on our own, Nintendo.

A single player campaign - could be forza horizon style, gta driving missions, diddy kong, or crash team racing inspired. Splatoon is a multiplayer game and has a single player camapaign, and I love it - granted it's not a race game.

Driving styles like cratch team racing had. Driving styles lets you race with any character you want the way you want. Enough with the one or two meta characters, karts, and parts.

@nervous-noodles They're having fun because my save profile is like a Funky Kong(easy mode) profile, with it's OP armor, powerful weapons, and hundreds of farmed arrows. My nieces are real young, never get into the game if they start from the beginning when link is weak.

Nintendo added assists for kids in Mario Kart it, asist mode for Mario Odyssey, Nabbit in Mario Wonder, Funky Kong in Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. I'm just pointing out a similar option for BOTW could probably make man young kids new to gaming happy. We would have bought another copy of BOTW for my nieces if it had an easier character like my similar to my OP save profile.

@Olliemar28 BOTW could use an easy mode for kids. My nieces have racked up almost 100 hours wandering around BOTW, or catching horses, with my switch user profile (where I beat ganon already, have maxed out armor, plenty of good weapons & arrows). And recently, with little instruction, my niece also has a blast riding a horse dangrously close to guardians at the castle, seeing how long she can dodge their death beams. She loves it!😆

Seems like a huge missed opportunity on Nintendo's part.

Nintendo isn't going to make a price based on early adopters alone, so the point seems a bit irrelevant

I stumbled upon the video by mistake when it only had 1.5K views.😆 It had just gone up.

All I know is, I'm Not playing Mario Kart 9. I need more. MORE.😠(😁)

I like the disney Cars inspiration for the track environment. Keep the game footy coming, nintendo!

Did switch reveal show more games than this?

This is the first I've heard of any of these games. They must have sprung up over night.

@anoyonmus Ohhhh, crap. licensing. I forgot already. Yeah, that probably rules out Horizon 2, or older Horizons.

Heck! Bring on Forza Horizon! Even Forza Horizon 2 is freaking great! In some ways, I like it better than newer Horizons.

My god though, I bet Switch 2 WON'T have analog triggers for racing games again. Nintendo BETTER make a pro controller with analog triggers. How is a console from japan, the land of drifting, not making official controllers with analog triggers. Nintendo loves making quirky controller accessories, yet still skips analog triggers. @Nintendolife if you catch any wind of an official switch 2 pro controller with analog triggers for racing games, that would make for a nice headline. (edit: Forgive me. I guess I don't need to tell you that.😁)

Oh yeah! I've been hoping this would come to the switch. My money is ready if it performs acceptably.
