Oh I mixed up my anger at micro SD express cards with my anger at game key cards.

"They seem to be designed for publishers unwilling to fork out for costly, high-capacity S2 carts (which, naturally, would necessitate higher RRPs), shifting the gigabyte cost to the user."

The biggest screw you of the lot to fans who've supported Nintendo for 30+ years. Nothing to do with tariffs.

Nintendo 2024 PROFIT, not sales: $1.5 billion. I think they can eat the ****ing SD card cost.

I love everyone saying they'll wait til the price drops haha if you were waiting on a switch 1 it's been 8 years now is the time

I'd take a digital only version for $375 at this point

how great would it be to get the upcoming Virtua Fighter on switch 2

wtf? so we can expect some indie games...fall 2026?

Salamander III by M2 ShotTriggers! What a pleasant surprise.

I'm definitely excited to play a new prime but am I the only one who thinks the combat and enemy behavior looks near identical to 2002?

I was already planning on Rift of the Necrodancer, played the steam demo, great stuff. The Celeste tracks make it a sure thing. Just gonna wait to confirm Nintendo has a good plan in place for transferring digital games to switch 2 first.

I don't think it's a tough call. If you're Nintendo, what's more important, avoiding minimal hardcore fan backlash, or letting anyone who wants MP4 buy it? Though I could see only one version of the game and a feature in the direct about how the switch 2 enhances it.

8 year drip feed got me settin up a MiSTER Pi

My instinct is sell, but now with 7 , 9, and 11 year old boys in the house, I can use the extra screen. Man it's been a while since a console release ha life is different now.

We used to get excited for new games

Ouch. Feels like they're hurting on sales after making us wait way too long for new hardware, if profit margins are to be maintained gold coins gotta go. I've never debated buying a new Nintendo console, it's always a given, but...

@delanoche oh right I did play one a couple years ago. Yea great gameplay, miss the franchise mode but online is fun, thanks for the reminder

Do these usually release on time? Might preorder for Xmas, my 7 yr old will flip out.

nope, we're all dirty leak-lookers and will be punished accordingly

Ranked no-item online races

Feels like localized MLB PowerPros in Wii was the last good baseball game on a nintendo console. I'll probably hold out and try The Show '26 on switch 2.
Fired up wayne gretzky's 3D hockey the other day, fantastic game. That is all.

This is why these ports for full price are garbage, the least they could do is give us the definitive version of the game.

majoras mask

Without games, this was thoroughly underwhelming. Would've been easier to just release a statement that the leaks are real, see you in april.

@dr-ghost yup and our reward is buying every wii u game again on switch! (except the one I really want, wind waker)

Nintendo's getting laaazy. Full price?! This wouldn't fly 10 years ago. IMO.
"Well at least it's available" no man, demand better for yourself. Hoping to be proven wrong with the switch 2 lineup.

@Dr_Corndog yea I love the lore quotes on every one. Shame they don't have the rights to the Silmarillion to combat amazon's nonsense.
I'll have to check out those GC games.

Lifelong gigantic Tolkien nerd, I haven't played any I found appealing ha my recommendation for an amazing co-op time is the fantasy flight living card game. Which is online now too I think. (still bummed they left us hanging with the Scouring of the Shire scenario)

I love how many people are eager to be nintendo legal team interns. The guy is explicitly discussing this with press, I think we all know Nintendo would've put a stop to this if it was in violation of any contract.

@SeantheDon29 oh yea what you said

yes we pretty much know the hardware, what's way more important here is that nintendo has a plan to wow us with how much effort went into enhancing every part of the online experience

@BoilerBroJoe yes it's not all black and white. Maybe if China were actively working with Canadian and Mexican military to "watch" the US we could equate them. I don't think it's complicated but hey let's talk about games

seems an intentional misunderstanding for the crime of being a successful company in a country closed to US imperialism

I wish they'd release a new game, my kids would love it and used prices are insane

So that's the dpad again huh

@premko1
1 frame extra through docked mode. By itself not much but it's the difference between a game feeling pretty good and feeling great.

Unless you mean what lag from upscaling, in which case, I don't know, that's my question.

@swoose same, the switch already adds lag through the dock, wonder if anyone can confirm that AI upscaling truly happens in "real time"

@Quarth
Great list, just can't leave off Eschatos! Which also includes Judgement Silversword. Essential shmups.

And Espgaluda II but it was delisted.

Great review

@MSaturn yep that's the one, Bug Princess translated. Great game, difficulty selection for anyone and only 3 buttons, no hyper or special to worry about.
Mars matrix I've never played but I've seen lots of praise for it.
Really just a couple key points to getting better at shmups. This is a nice guide

@MSaturn mushihimesama is great for beginners of you got it before it was delisted. Blue Revolver just got a huge update on steam, great beginner one. Just not this game haha sdoj is cruel.

I can see calling something like Mario Wonder pop music-like. They're talking a lot, guess we'll find out when some of these revivals come out.

@waveboy yea play tropical freeze it's fantastic.

Punch-Out would be near the top of my requests for sure. I loved the Wii sequel, didn't pay much attention to scoring though.

Nintendo needs to emulate Sega and revitalize these rotting franchises. I want a game company not a multimedia company.

@waveboy I'm all for options. If Nintendo weren't ignoring most of their IP it wouldn't be an issue. Glad you'll enjoy it!

Wondering if there's a harder final boss in gaming. One person in the world can beat this. And not artificial challenge difficulty, this is as the devs intended.

good lord can we have new games

Minimal use of Google translate on the menu at first, perfectly playable in-game

No one beat the full final boss in this game, ever, until this year. 12 years of dedication by superplayer Sairyou. It's incredible, watch starting at 28:19

Brutal game, even for Cave. Can't wait.

@KoopaTheGamer opposite for me, haven't dealt with hard drops unless it was 30 years ago on the game boy

@Gs69 yea Final Vendetta needs to be on here. Also agree on horizon chase turbo, nice to race n relax but not much depth. Looking forward to Victory Heat Rally.

Grandmaster 2 and Effect: Connected is all the Tetris I need

@Woodyshoe Cotton Rock'n'Roll - Superlative Night Dreams.
Beautiful game

@aughra haha a kindred spirit! Still not over AoR getting cancelled. Peak Creature Shop.

It's funny how worked up people get when it's clearly an afterthought for Nintendo, seems like they're confused at why people care and sort of threw us a bone with the "official" timeline.
