I’ve always hated that Zelda = golden. The amount of ugly hardware we got because of this association! Europe all the way.

I want a Pro Controller 2 with some colour!!!

One of my favourite Wii games ever and a total surprise from the Direct, probably my favourite reveal!! I really hope they nail it. Fingers crossed.

Another victim here clutching a still-unplayed physical copy and wondering about my life choices...

Perfect time to buy!

This was my favourite bit of the whole Direct! It's perfect for the series <3

I always found the European cover truly iconic, love it!

I came for the puzzles, stayed for the sexy beard.

Great idea, let’s fuel the flames of speculation and collect hundreds of dream projects so that then we can all be disappointed by the merely 20+ real announcements. Clever!

I enjoyed the Animal Crossing aspects of the game, the management, but hated the dungeons, I'm sick of fighting in games. Did they ever patch an option to play a "story mode" where I could just enjoy the side of the game I like and skip the other?

I played it for a bit (before this update) and thought it ran rather well! (Though gyro aiming is missed indeed)
Of course, any improvements are welcome!

With the development of the online store, physical stores, theme parks, movie franchises, etc., Nintendo is slowly but surely turning into the next Disney.

But investors are too short-sighted to see that.

That stock will triple in three years, mark my words.

Great article! This game saved my life during Covid, and it was actually the first time ever that I visibly noticed a physical improvement through exercise (what? I have SHOULDERS!). Ring Fit Adventure 2 is my most-wished game for Switch 2. Fingers Crossed!

I'm quite tired of buying this game again and again, thanks but no thanks.

Looks cool! I'm up for some Halloweenglish shenanigans.

Bayonetta 3 lacked camp. To me that was its biggest flaw.

Like @UltimateOtaku91 says, it's a very different matter to make a a game guaranteed to sell millions than one trying to find a minority audience. That minority , together, will have to pay for the full price of development. The same applies to lots of different "limited edition" products. It's tricky, but it is what it is. Production costs must be covered somehow (if you're lucky).

Wow a Direct in mid-September! Good thing it leaked or I wouldn't have seen it coming... o_O

I was all for it before, now even more so!
But damm I’m already downloading a sample of The Fisherman! Slippery slope!

Burn them both? They're terrible ;-D

Man, are they boring...
How about some colour, huh?

@drypaphmrbro @45bloody_velvet OK, either I was misinformed, or there are regional differences, no idea...

@bloody_velvet Weren’t those the colors that released with Super Mario Party? 🤔 And that game is from 2018…

As far as I'm aware, the drifting issue only affected the first generation of Joy-Con and never or rarely Joy-Con produced from 2019 onwards. So I don't see it happening to the Joy-Con 2 anytime soon.

But of course you can't sell a replacement without creating some unfounded panic!

I'll make myself a Switch Music Labo with a new Joy-Con and a used-up roll of kitchen paper

SPOILER ALERT, PLEASE!

Not only that, it's also markedly in stereo!

Cereza and the Lost Demon was amazing. I'd love to see more of that!

That's some very poor communication for a CEO.
Let a professional writer do your PR, big boy!

“a sensible approach to pricing” is not a thing in Europe. Like, there’s laws AGAINST that. It’s called a free market, buddy.

Are those 12 announced for release day, or just announced?

Where’s Rhythm Paradise?

Sounds like a copy-paste error to me. Careful with the templates, intern!

I see GameChat as something rather new and very Nintendo. Also the mouse mode, etc.

We need the Piranha Plant Pro.

“Device wallpapers”? As in, for your phone? Or for the console itself?!?!??!! That would be a clumsy way to announce the feature 😅

@WilloftheFans That's true especially for RPGs and certain other games. Personally I'm very much in favour of smaller games - I don't need to be playing the same old thing for hundreds of hours. But then it's my choice to buy smaller indie games instead. AAAs today are huge -and therefore expensive- whether we like it or not.

Initially, I was just as shocked by the game prices as everybody else.

But, on second thought, games have cost 60 € for a decade or two, and they have 10 or 50 times the amount of content (and pixels) they used to, so... I guess it makes sense.

Iconspotting.

These two? They. Are. Not. News.

Some really cool Machinarium vibes! <3

Playing the victim card much, are we?
"Fans" trying to ride on the success of a hit franchise, should I feel pity?
Hum...

Ring Fit Adventure 2!

Most of these remakes and resurrections seem to be full of flashy effects that make it nearly impossible to focus on the gameplay. At least judging by the trailers - I find that so off-putting I never really try the games myself. Are they really as bad as they make them look? Can the effects be disabled at least? I’d be up for some brick-breaking!!

Epic Yard? Sounds like a rather short game - less than a meter.

Glad to see Psyduck getting some love! <3

Sure, I should pick up 98 games, that's exactly what my backlog needs, not to mention my bank account. Very clever, NL!

You got me at Operation Wolf, I’m in

Unrelated, but I'm playing (and thoroughly enjoying) The Great Ace Attorney 2 (within Chronicles) and I'm flipping out that the game is PEGI 12, but USK 6! I mean, it's all about murders and corpses everywhere, graphics included. Every other piece of evidence has blood stains. There's a weird coroner who wants to dissect you alive for fun. I wouldn't want to leave this game anywhere near a 6 year old, German or otherwise...

My favourite moment is at exactly 1:06 <3
