Everything about this game bothers me, which means my daughters are going to just outright adore it.

As it should be.

@Crockin I get the feeling that Mario Maker has sort of replaced NSMB.

@fakemaze739 I'd happily settle for some sort of DLC . I know my daughter would love it there was Peach DLC

All I want from that Sonic stream is Sonic Adventure 2 on Switch, don't care if its a straight port of the GC version, the XBLA one, or a full remake. Just SA2 on Switch.

don't get me wrong I voted Japan, but I was impressed how the West's cover was more of an adaption than we usually see.

Oh no... I really hope this doesn't pop up on my daughters' switch news screen or I wont hear the end of this.

I'd love gamepass streaming to come to the switch. At the moment I have to use my phone and a controller, its not exactly comfortable.

I adored XI, I look forward to XII.

I did hear someone thinking a HD remake of the 3DS VII remake using assets from XI would be annouced.

Dreamwork's Dragons team should do Legend of Zelda.

It's pretty clear the Classic Mini's existed to offset the cost of all those Wii U's sitting on shelves, the success of the Switch means it's not needed.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Mini Classic 64/Gameboy appear in the gap between third parties mainly supporting "next-gen" machines and the launch of Switch 2

@Vapeguy Yeah. Don't get me wrong a lot of Ubisoft's open world games force me to take a break at some point and come back later, I was expecting this to do the same but I simply have no desire to step back in.

Made me play BOTW again though.

Don't get me wrong, looking forward to this but I'd probably enjoy 4 player online co-op more.

I didn't hate that, may have to pick it up.

I was okay with the semetrical sticks back when these was pretending to be SNES pads, still use mine on the switch, and for gamepass streaming but at this point they are long past their cos play stage, and for me, it's time for them to have a asymmetric layout

I certainly time for Mii's get upgraded, lets drag that BOTW NPc engine over, or at least let games use it.

Sadly I already have a "don't need to but it is better upgrade" purchase, the Switch pro would have to wait.

Diamond and Pear are the last Pokemon games I played before X&Y, they just made me tap out on the classic style games.

As such I don't have much interest in the Chibi remake, I was hoping it was going to be like Sword and Sheild but hey.

This screams "made for VR" to me.

I remember lots of people saying with Link's Awakening came out "this is how they should do the pokemon remakes" those people are less than happy with the result.

To be fair to them, if the studio behind this put the same effort in as LOZ: LA remake they'd be happy.

I said the same with the Let's Go games, I don't like remakes that don't bring the games up to date, so far on the artsyle side of things this isn't delivering.

When we heard rumours of it being "chibi style" my brain instantly pictured a Link's Awakening style 1:1 remake and this is pretty much that. Dont get me wrong it's not been done anywhere near as well.

It's worth noting this isn't a Nintendo Direct, so expect lots of non-console games announcements

This seems like a game that would work better in VR

My daughter went insane after watching the trailer

I'm a little worried with Smash being referenced, Smash reveals tend to eat up a fair amount of time in these things.

Regardless, woo! New Direct

As much as his voice is iconic for the Mario brothers and co but it's super weird when he speaks in full sentences, it might be easier to have "proper movie voice actor" to use his performance as a base whilst toning some elements down to work. This worked with Sonic, it should work with Mario.

Considering how 90% of the designs in DQ8 are in XI it wouldn't take much to make an "HD" version of it for Switch

You know what? If this game featured full four player co-op I could get on board with the Japanese cover.

Talking about it feeling like a sonic team game gave me flashes to when everyone was excited about might number no.9 because it was "Megaman's creator freed from Capcom" and its just awful and we're left to question just how much the creator actually did on the old games.

I'd happly pay for "Mario Bros" remakes of the various Mario games.
A "proper" 2 player co-op 3D Mario would be awesome, just thinking about it is giving me world of illusion flashes

This bothers me, just think of all those games that used Mii, we could have got sequels with BOTW ESC characters

I have this on Xbox early access it's evolved a lot whilst I've had it.

I like it a lot. It obviously shares DNA with surviving Mars.

May pick it up again on switch if it reviews well

Judging exclusive by the art I prefer the Japanese one but its ruined by the... warning text? So I voted against it.

I'd "get" the JPN cover if the series was about toy soldiers.

I just knew this was going to be poor the second the first trailer appeared and for some reason the CGI cutscene didn't match the CGI show.

Then the first gameplay appeared and it looked super bad but I saw wayforwards name, had a little hope that the full package might be something more but nope games still bad.

I don't get why though. The IP can certainly support a game, the studio isn't crap, and its not like this had to be rushed out the show its named after finished 2 years ago, and the games set up doesn't seem to tie into either of the other Arcadia shows, both of which are finished, or the upcoming movie.

I'd love to see Urbosa but that'd be another Sword users and I think Smash is tapped out of sword users.

I'd settle for literally any spear/staff user, I don't care if its Krystal from Starfox, one of the million in Fire Emblem, Lu Bu from DW, or Mipha from BOTW.

@Kriven I'm confident that's one of the reasons MS bought Bethesda to secure their content (and that ORION streaming tech they showed off last year.) for the "streaming wars".

@MrGawain In theory I agree but its not like the retail model hasn't stopped the annual recycle of CoD or sports games making stupid amounts of cash every year.

Plus if memory serves gamepass "pays" developers based on metrics like how often the game is installed and how long players "engage" with it. So if the game does poorly they earn less money and might not get invited back next time.

@Medic_Alert Plus its makes a lot of sense to let people who aren't your customers to get a "taste" and then BOOM Doom 3 on Xbox and PC

Sony: hey we wanna pay for time exclusivity for your next two games.
Bethesda, acts a bit weird: sure sounds like a deal
they shake hands and sony leaves
Bethesda : well this is interesting.
pulls of its mask scooby do style revealing Microsoft : Very interesting indeed.

just have Henry Cavil record his various emotive witcher grunts.

wait this one is livestreamed? Wasn't the previous ones prerecorded drops?

I really want to like this, its made of bits of things that I love but there is something about the combat that's putting me off, and I'm not too sure on why.

Well wasn't expect thing to get such a pumbling, ouch.

I was expecting "typical smash clone" not "kill it with fire"

I love how non of the "leakers" seemed to have caught wind of this.

Crap, my daughter just saw the Cat Peach... I am now doomed to own this.

The EU one is least "the worst" and reminds me of a manga cover.

The US one is dingy and the JPN is just a mess.

The EU/US one simply because the JP's Gamecube logo ruins it.

@clvr "It's starting to grate me how so many people on this site constantly doubt official statements and such and trick themselves (and others) into thinking that every game ever is coming to the Switch (even if it's exclusive to other platforms)"

I still get people telling me we're definitely getting the FF7 remake or Persona 5 because of smash

1) awesome
2) guess big directs are done.
3) awesome.

if this was another game I might be worried.

But this is exactly what happened with Bayonetta 2. It was revealed super early in the Wii Us life and ended up as one of the last big games on the machine.
