@Scollurio I really hate analogue triggers, I was looking forward to trying them when I recently had the oppurtunity to play PS5. But I found them really unresponsive and awkward to get used to. With more time with them I'm getting used to the difference but still prefer the switch pro controller. What is it that you like about them?

@Overzeal I love that comment!! Sega RIP...PSP RIP....Microsoft RIP.... who's next Steam deck?

@tobsesta99 She is someone who has on many occasions tried to spoil surprises for people. Sorry to NL and you that I do not respect her for that.

I got a no for Sunday in London, it would of been nice but I felt lucky to be included in that recent game test so I can't complain too much.

The long time goal here is not just about killing physical games it's more the lead into streaming.
Is it any wonder when you will see a article before a game is released that it's in the hands of homebrewing community.

Ouch!!! They will be holding some high level meetings today, and laying off people on Monday. Modern day business morals.

@CammyUnofficial No clue why they deleted me there. But to answer your question, it is because I feel these things should be in the game because that is the character and how they wanted them to be represented by the creators. Where as I feel that sometimes the decision to include is based on being liked by consumers, as in a marketing decision. I suppose I didn't really need to use the word political, more the marketing sense.
Overall I wish this didn't need to be a conversation and that we all just viewed eachother as individuals no matter what. I hope I am not making myself come across wrong, especially after getting deleted like that. I love all and want people to feel free to be how they want to be.

Not the old Ubisoft/EA account rubbish.

Data sure is profitable nowadays!!

Please nintendo make the attention seeker go away!

So an analyst thinks that the price can be lowered at a later date, I suppose he was able to make this intelligent judgement from the fact that Nintendo haven't reduced the price of the switch in 7 years!

@Kienda I can remember getting the early pokemon games and when they popped out of the grass, that was the first time I had seen or heard of them. The good ol days!!

I feel there is something more to come about switch 2, I’m suspicious. Cause I’m a day one Nintendo fan and would normally want to part of something like this a lot. But even I wonder if I want to go try what essentially looks like an upgrade on what I have in my living room.
Also they haven’t told us much but they have told us that they are organising events to let some people try it. They could do the normal marketing and create a buzz because it’s a new Nintendo console. I’m hoping there’s a Nintendo gimmick in there and that’s why they want people to try it.

I wonder how many articles and rumours this unknown button will drag up!! God help us..

Short and sweet. I like the console but feel it looks to similar to the previous. I hope there is a gimmick that they are not telling us about it, and not just the mouse thing.

Excellent idea, great work!

@TomSupreme I did the same when it was hard to get hold of the PS5.

They should have called it a mod it would have got a much better reception.

I commented in November that it would be this week, althougth I said the 14th as it's my Birthday. But I always felt that they would announce a direct early in the week for a presentation later in the week. This is a regular week that they have had directs in the past, and I thought it would make sense for the timing.

I hope it happens, and that they reveal nearly everything, rather than a seperating the information. (because I'm bored of rumours)

I’m hoping this update is the punchline to this joke.

I finding this article and the constant ‘rumour’ articles a bit ridiculous now. How many more lies are you going to print, or is the reveal happening in the next couple of hours?

@Dev1024 I understand what you are saying as they are relentless, I am getting bored of it too. I feel that when the actual reveal comes then the excitement will come back and this will become irrelevant.

A bit of early attention seeking here, then some more from the fans when they release it. Then finally a bit more when they get people to give them some sympathy when Nintendo take it down.

I'd say NL should be able to get at least another couple of articles in before no ones cares about them again.

@SonnyBonds You seem to have contradicted yourself there..

@cmbaum no I haven’t played the game. I do remember reading about it and if I had more time and money to play more games then I would have.
PEGI seem to agree with my uninformed opinion.

@cmbaum If you feel that this game or others don't promote gambling I do not want to try and change your mind or say you are wrong. I appreciate your opinion, but mine is that it is better to over protect younger people.

@cmbaum The steam webpage advertises and sells the game as being like poker, and it's in the text above. A quick google search shows that 'The Verge', 'Gameinformer', it's wiki page all advertise is a 'poker' style game. And even the play.balatro website sub heading on google says...
"Balatro is a deck-building roguelite where you must play poker hands and earn chips to defeat enemy blinds"

Anyway Big 2 is described a gambling game too!

@cmbaum It's based on poker......

It doesn't look like Happyfunland lived up to it's name!

@AfroMario I watched a drunk stumble into the bookies last night.....

Blah Blah Blah.......

This is more speculative and boring than all the leaks, I trust Sandrev's and Anti Matter's guesses more than this.

While I agree with his statement about his issue with Fifa and games that have loot box style mechanics, I still agree that the 18 certificate is correct for a game that is likely to encourage gambling.

I should also add that if they didn't have such a rule then there would carnage, all that stinking gambling money fueling there future markets.

@TechaNinja That is a very famous saying in Japan, and with all the rumours it would be a good idea for them to Not Look, Not listen, and not say anything (at least until there ready)

Most of those images just look like the first switch!

If these are true then it's just going to be a load of chat about the specs, and that's just not Nintendo. That's for Xbox and Playstation owners, not me.

@Dev1024 I do worry, mainly because of the so called leaks that we could be looking at an upgrade. And I think you'd be right in saying that if it was then a little bit of Nintendo has died if it is. Really hoping there is a wierd controller that no one knows about, come on Nintendo, please don't let me down!!!!!

Looks like the maketing department got there way with the design on this one.
Random direction to take with pacman, maybe it works, maybe it won't!

The video just made me remeber the days of the PS2 where the video has little correlation to the actual game, because cut screens are not really the game for me.

Don't forget the cheese Pikachu!

Not a fan of leaks, even if they are true. But I do prefer this kind of speculation to the blurry photos we saw yesterday.

I have some speculation that maybe the bee reference is because the new console will have 'street pass'. Like a bee pollenating flowers as it collects nectar. I think NL should make a article to discuss this?!?

@Duncanballs Lol, I just finished writing my comment and then read yours. Suffice to say I agree with you there.

@Serpenterror I totally agree with your comment regarding the big mistake that microsoft and sony have made. Inititally the 'looking good' strategy worked and they both had sucess with the PS2 and original Xbox. But overall there message was that why buy a Nintendo console because they look so much better here. But actually all that did was to promote PC gaming, then add in people confidence using PC's and Steam making it easy to buy games. They literally promoted their own competition.
Now they have nothing that sets them aside, so they try and buy a few games makers to make exclusives, but like you said they often put them on other consoles. Sony trying the VR but charging a fortune. They have spent years shooting themselves in the foot.

But don't get me wrong I think anyone buying those consoles will find more than enough to have fun with. But as a corporate giant trying to rule the world they have done a ***** job.

You'd have thought they would have announced this farming sim in a direct, althougth maybe they didn't want to be confused with the million other 16bit style farming games!!!!

Nintendo Switch is a home console the same as xbox and playstation, what is so confusing!!!! Some part of it's success can be put down to it being able to be used as a handheld, but we will never know the true percentage of people that would not have bought the console if it didn't work as a handheld.

I would suggest the main reasons peoplebought switch was their games, mario, zelda, animal crossing, smash bros. And a very big one 'the price.

Scalpers alert system activated...

My son told me it gives you a random gun if you did this, then I got flung down the hill!

That paragraph reads like this to me "I think Nintendo will continue to do the things that consumers want, where as we are going to do things that are more profitable"

I've never been too keen on this but surely if it's given an appropraite age rating then it should be available everywhere!

Get my games maker name out of your mouth!

It's free to play people, do not spend money on it!

Trading being limited is just because they want people to pay them money rather than BIGBOYTCG983399 on ebay.
