Anyways, this and Overwatch’s new update have made today one of my favorite days for gaming news I’ve had in a while. Super excited to buy this on the Switch
@MirrorFate2 Why would you replace a character in an older game because the content relating to that character in the present is “bad”? Not “offensive” bad, but “quality” bad.
@HotGoomba Exactly what I’m thinking. Kind of shows how selfish people are that they’ll go out of their way to clown on a game because it isn’t a big AAA game like they want it to be.
@rvcolem1 Honestly, you do have a point, but it all comes down to a marketing perspective. It depends on what they think deserves its own Direct. Personally, I don’t mind it, but if there were one of these every month I would definitely understand the frustration more.
@MamaSymphonia Agreed. For me, every first-party release from Nintendo, excluding Drag x Drive and Welcome Tour, were so much fun and were such a good start to the console’s life. I don’t know if 2026 can really top it honestly.
@PlatinumTour because why would you put 20 minutes of info in a Direct when there are other games they want to put a spotlight on during the presentation as well?
Everyone complaining about this clearly does not know how this kind of thing works. This same thing has happened before where we have a Direct a week or two after a Direct centered around one game.
Sucks to see that a bunch of people are losing a convenient way to buy games for them, but to be honest, it would’ve just been easier for me to buy my games from Walmart or Amazon when I chose to buy from GameStop.
I cancelled my GameStop Pro a couple days ago because I don’t like the store in my area, mostly due to the people who work there and how it’s less convenient than just buying online or at my Walmart.
My GameStop isn’t closing, which is interesting considering that it underperforms pretty often from what I’ve heard. I just don’t really like GameStop anymore.
What a fall from grace Level-5 has taken. I loved the Yo-Kai Watch games and have been really curious about Inezuma Eleven and Fantasy Life i, since they have both been getting a lot of praise. I love Professor Layton as well, and seeing these kinds of statements being made makes me upset and hesitant to support them.
I absolutely hate that AI is becoming such a normalized thing, especially with art like television and video games. It is kind of devastating to me seeing how much some companies are leaning into it and worries me about how much worse it could get.
In all honesty, I do like the designs of the characters from the movies. Besides a few little nitpicks I’ve seen, I think the Yoshi design is done very well and still captures the same energy as the original design

Re: Overwatch 2 Ditches The Number In Huge Overhaul, Switch 2 Version Announced
@Friendly That’s not how it works, you get all the heroes for free and pay for cosmetics.
Re: Overwatch 2 Ditches The Number In Huge Overhaul, Switch 2 Version Announced
Super hyped for all of this. Hope we can see player number go up with the new update
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Two More Titles

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Moves In On Switch 1 This April
looks awesome, i am super excited to play this. the gender options and homesexual additions are super cool to see as well.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct Announced For Thursday, 29th January
@Anti-Matter I would honestly love being able to have an option to decorate houses but still also having a way to use the already-made homes.
I also find it kinda funny to think about amiibo support, like they would announce some random Miis as amiibo figures lol.

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct Announced For Thursday, 29th January
@StarCollector Nate the Hate is saying February 5th is the day for a general Direct, so watch the calendar.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct Announced For Thursday, 29th January
@rvcolem1 Sorry, I’m confused, what? Lol
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct Announced For Thursday, 29th January
@PlatinumTour I am really indifferent on it, I just like seeing what Nintendo’s cooking up, but I do understand where you’re coming from completely 😊

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct Announced For Thursday, 29th January
@GoproGO Yeah, I think so as well. Especially since the “Minecraft meets Pokémon” in question is Key-Card slop lol.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct Announced For Thursday, 29th January
@TerribleTerabytes exactly my point. People are coming just to say they don’t care about this game and that sort of attitude baffles me.

Re: PSA: Switch Game Vouchers Won't Be Sold After January 2026
was more of a physical guy anyways, but it sucks that we get Gold Points taken away first and now Game Vouchers.

Re: Red Dead Redemption Has Been Rated For The Switch 2
Hoping we eventually get RDR2 as well, but I would like to play the original again.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
Also, I find it really interesting that they chose to go with Bowser’s Wonder design as his “other form”. I like it, but it’s just interesting.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@ChessboardMan yeah, the sandy area was from Odyssey
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
It looks so good, and I am so excited! Really interesting seeing the Sand Kingdom pop up for a bit, too.

Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of The Mario Galaxy Movie's Leaked Yoshi Design?
In all honesty, I do like the designs of the characters from the movies. Besides a few little nitpicks I’ve seen, I think the Yoshi design is done very well and still captures the same energy as the original design
Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
I honestly really like it, i think he looks very cute
