@Yalloo Good advice, and thank you!

"It's a manual!
"It's a tech demo!"

How do you know that? Have you played it? Have you seen any footage beyond the initial reveal? Because less than five minutes of research will show you that this is a GAME. A small game, but a game nonetheless. And for everyone comparing this to Wii Sports when trying to justify why this would be a pack in, y'all need to understand something. Wii Sports was a game designed to introduce people to an entirely new way to play games. Same thing with Super Mario Bros. on NES, and to a lesser extent, Tetris on GameBoy. Welcome Tour isn't that important. It's a small game, it has quirky mini games, and a cute art style. Is $10 too much for this? I don't know. Jury is still out. But to act as if it's ridiculous or insulting to charge for this game at all, sight unseen, just comes off as silly, and kind of entitled

Fingers crossed for an eventual physical release!

@Yalloo I hope it's this easy in the states, but I'm prepared for the worst

For my NA peeps, get those fingers ready at midnight, boys. It's gonna be a loooong night

I don't know, I think this looks pretty fire. On my radar, for sure

I could see Madden on Switch 2 (especially the first one) quietly selling extremely well. Like, millions of copies well. It's not even out of the realm of possibility that a Switch 2 version would outsell the Xbox versions of the game going forward, assuming it has all the same features and modes

@PikminMarioKirby "I believe there was a mental problem as well..."

Boom. Completely discredited your own argument.

@Metazoxan 100%, I've noticed that too. I think this has brought out the worst in everybody, honestly. And Nintendo just NOT allowing Palworld on their platform is plenty enough "punishment" to get back at the uninspired, copied designs. Dragging this into court is just petty. Hit them in their wallets, not in their right to exist!

This whole situation is silly. Should we make fun of Palworld for lazy, uninspired monster designs CLEARLY "inspired" by Pokemon? Absolutely. But I don't think that it's grounds for litigation, just for ridicule. It'd be like if Eidos had sued Naughty Dog for Uncharted being HEAVILY inspired by Tomb Raider. It just doesn't pass the sniff test.

Let's just say hypothetically that the Odyssey team has been exclusively working on DK since 2017. That begs the question, who would be making 3D Mario? What if no one is making one right now? Or development is still super early? What if the Odyssey team isn't starting on Mario until AFTER DK is out? This thing might be months away or half a decade away tbh

It's fun to think about!

I'm glad they didn't go through LRG for the physical release, but not having a pre-order period is kinda wild. I hope no one else follows this same format for physical

I worry I'll develop some kind of a nervous habit of popping these things on and off for fun, and it's going to prematurely wear them out

Manifesting playing Master Chief Collection and a Gears of War Trilogy collection on Switch 2 before the year is over

@GrailUK June 8th! I expect we'll see the Switch 2 logo at least once or twice

Wishful thinking, but maybe we'll get some news about US pre-orders either during or after this Direct? Fingers crossed

I promise you, it is not, under any circumstances, the "better option"

Six year old DLC for a seven year old game not being bundled in with a $70 port.

I hate it here.

Most of these comments are miserable. Let people have fun! :'-(

@Snatcher It's worth multiple playthroughs tbh. You'll notice/appreciate stuff the second time through that you didn't on the first run
