wasn't there already something like this for the Switch and Club House Games? I'm very certain that we own one copy, then downloaded a free app that allowed us to play locally on the other 2 systems with one card. Called Guest or something??

I love this feature. It shouldn't be on "select", it should be on all games.

I never played the original, but we're getting a new Mario Kart so even if I pickup the Switch 2, I'd most likely pass on a second racing game.....or is this not a racing game?

This portion of the direct was insulting. This had a negative effect on me. It seems ridiculous to sell this tech demo which is a digital tour of the system you just shelled out $400+ to buy.....Nintendo screwed this one up.

They probably priced me out for day 1 purchase. It's not terrible, I can afford it, but ultimately I'm not sure I can justify the purchase at that price tag. I'm sure at some point I'll pick it up, most likely not in June though.

This game looks bananas!!!!! I never expected this. In my opinion, it's the highlight of the direct.

I'm seeing it. I've been looking forward to it for a while.

My youngest son was the only one in my household to play Minecraft. He still plays it occasionally when he has time. I've been wanting to go with him.....he came to me the other day and said he and his friends are going....

He's been in so many great films. Willow, Heat, Top Gun, and Tombstone are my personal favs. I thought they an great job getting him into the second Top Gun.

This isn't a bad idea. I would think there would be a ton of possibilities and options this feature could be used for.

It's also possible that the "C" button has multiple functions.

I guess we'll find out soon enough!

The Goldman game looks really cool.

I'll probably play MP4. I played the previous 3 and enjoyed them all. It'll depend on some other factors this time around.

I've just recently played TMNT. It's good but I'm not sure how many more times I'll play it. It was good for a weekend. It did capture that 90's arcade beat 'em up vibe.

As a huge fan of X-men Arcade back in the 90's, I'm interested. I also sort of wish this game had some other marvel characters or just X-men but that's me being picky.

This will be released on both Switch and Switch 2, and it will be released on launch day for Switch 2. That's why we didn't get a date yet.

I'm certain this will be a major feature they want on Switch 2 day one. This should have been day one on Switch. Seems to be pointless to roll this out on Switch now, but I'm sure it's part of their plan with integration to the new system.

I personally have no desire for this app and I feel it's a bit goofy.

But I'm also hoping I'm wrong.

I think they make great points. The fact that sooooo many people are getting triggered over 2 people talking about their opinions is crazy since most of these same people are also discussing their opinions.

Just to be clear, they're not saying the game isn't going to be great, they're saying that they don't think it will sell as well as 8.

I personally think that this series will always be a "must own" for most Nintendo system owners. But I will be shocked if it hits the numbers that 8 did. I just don't think the Switch 2 will sell as well as the Switch did so there will be a smaller amount of potential buyers.

I could be completely wrong, but I believe there's a ton of recourses that go into RPGish games, and they tend to not sell as well as other genres.

I personally love them, but they take me forever, so it usually means I'm not buying or playing them all.

I hope it does well. I respect that they're going for it!

I read the title very quickly and thought it read, "Multiplayer added".

For me it's a bit complex. On one side I feel that the mechanics of collecting pets can't and shouldn't be controlled by one developer. Could you imagine if this worked like this for other games? There would be only one 1st person shooter. Only one JRPG. Only one platformer. On the other side, the designs clearly look like Pokemon. Come On! If they would have just had a different style for them, we wouldn't even be talking about this, but that's what they were going for! They wanted this. No publicity is bad publicity.

I'll be honest, I grow bored playing any of the Niantic games. When I first discovered their game Ingress (Before Pokemon Go) I at first thought it was unique and fresh. I dove into the game, spending hours walking, driving, checking into the game; in what amounted to lots and lots of wasted time. Ultimately it just felt like a chore.

As for Pokemon Go, my first impression was "this is Ingress re-skinned in Pokemon" and I was fairly close on that assessment.

I'm actually on board with this idea. I feel like this could be one of the Nintendo games that could actually be adapted to film. Now will this happen? Probably not. Would it gather enough support and would enough people pay to watch it? Probably not. Would I? Yes!

I would prefer it to not be animated or live action. Just do it with the puppet or stop animation. I always loved those original puppet characters from the SNES title.

I'm finally playing the game now that it's on Xbox Gamepass.

I do find it crazy that so many people don't like or understand the game over on PureXbox. Blows my mind! I know it's maybe not for everyone, but the thought process that it's just video poker is insane.

This game is fantastic. I think I've finished a run only twice in a two week span. I keep wanting to play it more and more.

It's a great deal for a an awesome system and very fun game, for those who are very late to the party!

I've been playing MTG since the mid 90's, with a few breaks here and there. These days I still pick a box up to draft but I'm mostly playing on Arena casually. They release waaaaaay too many sets these days and it's tough to keep up with that pace IMO. While these are cool, I'll probably skip. I skipped the Fallout decks and those are some of my favorite games.

Looks great. I have high hopes for this one.

Dave the Diver is terrific! I'm still playing it.

This looks great. I'm interested.

Go Gunnar Henderson!!!

Something magic happens, every time you go
You make the magic happen, the magic of Orioles’ Baseball!

When the game is close, and the O’s are hot
There’s a thundering roar from 34 to give it all they’ve got
And you never know who’s gonna hear the call
Every game there’s a different star
That’s the magic of Orioles’ Baseball!

Orioles Magic! Feel it happen!
Orioles Magic! Feel it happen!
O – R – I – O – L – E – S !
Magic! Magic! Magic! Magic!

Something magic happens, every time you go
You make the magic happen, the magic of Orioles’ Baseball!

@Zeebor15 Continue to judge people you don't know, it makes you sound intelligent.

@Zeebor15 Snarf! "Just look at Word"

....but ya' did say Xbox. Maybe you're the one focusing on the wrong thing????

@Zeebor15 Yep! They cut some cartoons to hit that 6 billion!

I'm not arguing their business ethics. I'm arguing that they make money, lots of money.

Just to circle back, I was comparing what Xbox wants to do with their Game Pass to what Netflix has done for streaming media.

If any argument is dragged out and tired, it's the console war argument. Who cares who's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd?

Also, I wouldn't call what Xbox has done a monopoly. I would say the company has definitely made some big purchases, it's not even close to cornering the market.

@Zeebor15 They made like 6 billion in profits last year, despite delisting some cartoons........

Just because a corporation makes cuts, doesn't mean they're not making a profit.

@Zeebor15 I think the dumbest thing said today is that Netflix doesn't make a profit.

@Zeebor15 I don't think it's a "third place" thing with Xbox. I think their strategy has changed. They see the long term writing on wall and are trying to build that before the other two realize it too. I believe they're more interested in becoming the Netflix of gaming.

Anyone of us could have speculated and made this prediction.

The gift that keeps on giving! I'm still playing this, and now I'm pumped to see what this DLC brings.

I enjoyed that video! Very well done. The Sonic movies aren't anything special, but I've enjoyed the first 2; and I'm looking forward to the third.

I've already moved on from the Music App after about a a week or two.

This looks incredible so far. I'll have my eyes on this one for sure.

I owned this on the Wii & 3DS and Tropical Freeze on the WiiU. I love both games. BUT, I can't bring myself to double dip on either at the prices they're charging.

Good for those who never played them though. These games are platforming perfection IMO.

@Peteykins I think I'm going to finally pick this up!

This sounds more like a Metroidvania game game with a Comix Zone style to it. The combination sounds good if it works.

Hard pass for me. I'm not a fan of the series at all.

I'm highly skeptical of this. I'll believe it when I actually see and hear from Nintendo.

@bleeflooflah I'm happy you'll be able to take advantage of the bundle.

Personally I would prefer the base system and buy whatever game you want. I highly doubt you're going to get the game and pass for the basic system price. Nintendo will charge you for the game at least. You may get the pass for free or at a discount though.

Why not? Seems like a "no-brainer" to bundle one of the best selling games of all time with the Switch before the holiday season kicks in. This might be the best casual game as an entry point into the Switch.

Although, I highly doubt this is the type of product that will sell a second Switch to someone who already has one. If they wanted to reach that market too, all they would have needed to do is make the system look cool. Like, racing stickers from the game on the back, and the actual system in checkered black & white.

I'm still playing Switch games going, "wow, this game looks amazing". I'm not sure I can justify a $700 system that plays games at the a notch above what's already out there. Seems insane to me. BUT, there's plenty of people out there that have the means and can justify the price of admission.

I've been happy with Nintendo's approach.

I hope it plays well because I love me some Advance Wars.

....but at the same time, I can't believe this got okayed by Nintendo to be for sale on the eShop. The only differance I can see is the characters are more realistic looking cartoon and less anime style.

I still plan on giving the demo a try, but the low score based on the core mechanics is a giant red flag for me. Even if the story and art are good, when it comes down to it, core mechanics are one of the most critical aspects of a good game in my opinion. If I'm in it for just the story, I'll read a book or watch a movie!

I loved Power Stone back on the Dreamcast. Has anyone played it recently? Does it still hold up today?

Power Rangers in the US came a little late for my childhood, but my younger brother was into them. I always wanted more of the Zords to be a focus.

This game looks generic IMO.

@Lizuka Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely give the demo it a try.

In your opinion, are they very "point & click"?
