Come on people, this is Nintendo! There may or may not be something Switch 2 happening this month, but if there is the only guarantee is that it will be so insanely vague it’ll create more questions than answers.
Given their track record, they won’t confirm or deny backwards compatibility, storage size, CPU power, resolution, pricing, launch games, launch date or even the console’s name until it’s actually on shop shelves.
Voting for Europe (which is fairly generic), mainly because the other 2 look like AI generated monstrosities (I know they’re not, but they look like they could be)
That thumbnail image though… every time I pop by the site I see that and think a Direct’s coming. You guys are filling my day with micro-disappointments here…
Having to buy a map in MM immediately felt like an annoying additional chore that wasn’t necessary. Didn’t mind Tingle as a character, but never liked his purpose.
@Bobb yeah, Nintendo have never really given realistic geography much thought…
The extra foliage does lend itself to LttP prequel placement, but Ganon should be stuck in the Sacred/Dark Realm at that point, so I’m thinking this in the “Era of Decline” between Link Between Worlds and original LoZ.
@Bobb I think the Lost Woods are still there, just in front of the volcano.
But there appears to be a big treehouse where the sanctuary/graveyard are meant to be, and Link’s (Uncle’s) house is missing (though there may be a steam trail coming from a chimney near there?)
I think if the console is no longer new at retail, it becomes retro by default. Feels wrong for that to apply to, say, Wii U and 3DS, but they’re definitely historical pieces now…

@RootsGenoa apparently also true for the individual Arkham games. The UK website only lists the Trilogy. Weird

@PikaPhantom but what about Welltris? Wasn’t that Bullet Proof?
Aside: isn’t it FamicoM, not FamicoN? I thought Digital Eclipse were known for their attention to detail?

Re: Soapbox: How Does Your Personality Affect Your Gaming?
@niner Very much the same as you, it seems. I’ve got a very extensive spreadsheet for tracking my backlog and what games I have / haven’t 100%’d.
Anyway, the obvious next candidate: Worst Video Game Ever (that you’ve actually played)

I kinda hope they stop, I’ve got my fill - at well over 100, most of which just gather dust. Though I did use Alm and Celica yesterday in FE Echoes.
