This looks fantastic but as others have said, this isn't for me. The OG is the best as it's literally a pro controller split into two. This should be able to cater to those with smaller hands though.
What did I just watch? A bunch of Fortnite skins that have been in the game for years and the camera was focused on dead space. I'm writing Epic a strongly worded letter. I really felt like they were going to reveal a new skin behind that door... but then it was just haze.
This game is a perfect example of a game that should have a more modern version developed asap. This would sell like hotcakes. Imagine if you will a more detailed world that is very well polished more so than any mainstream Pokemon game. Though, if they ever do a newer version they should definitely eliminate being able to trigger evolutions. No one liked that feature. The developer I feel like could handle this perfectly is Bandai Namco. Get on it Nintendo!!
Seriously? It's not happening people. Temper your expectations. Nintendon't will not have another Nintendo Direct until they unveil their new Switch 360 Oculus Plus in 2037.
@Degenerate_Mii Huh... so then all of the allegations about Bobby Kotick over the years were just so Microsoft could buy the company 15 years down the road? That's one helluva long play eh? Go Bobby Go!!
@Grumblevolcano I thought it was pretty apparent last week when the new Pokemon trailer dropped that we weren't getting a direct. I honestly think the reasoning is because they are currently in the midst of a hostile takeover via Elon Musk.
I am going full-on pessimistic for this potential Nintendo Direct:
-There will be no MP4
-There will be no Mario
-There will be no Genshin
-There will be no Goldeneye
-There will be no Banjo
-There will be no Kazooie
-There will be no Red Bull Wings
-There will be no New Wave Race
-There will only be more N64 Controllers and Pokemon News (14 new games to announce but they're all Sword and Shield reskins)
Pass. There were thoughts and elements put into Arceus that made that game such a nice breath of fresh air. To completely roll back those elements in this game seems like a huge step backwards. Considering all of the new elements they are putting into this game, it just feels strange that they would remove the things that really made their best Pokemon game to date stand out amongst the rest of their recent games.
If the currently existing library for the Nintendo Switch isn't carried over 1:1 on day one with the new 'Nintendo Switch 2', the platform will not be nearly as profitable.
The biggest lesson the gaming industry (I'm hoping) has learned at this point, is the continuation of the existing library with the addition of new titles.
@Joe-b If Nintendo comes out with a successor, we should all expect that everything will carry over moving forward. Just updated/more powerful Switches from here on out.
If this subscription was more akin to Fortnite where it also provides the battle/season pass, I would be down. With what is currently on offer.... probably not.
Epic has done a fantastic job with Fortnite when it comes to collaborations with other companies. They are arguably the only true metaverse at this point because they're combining as many different properties, ideas, and people into their Fortnite sphere of the gaming world.
Who does this sound very similar to? Lego.
I have long since praised Lego for the past few decades for accomplishing the same feat with their products. They tend to license as many properties as possible in both their Lego creations and gaming collabs.
For me, this is a dream matchup. Epic, who has an incredible handle on the gaming sphere can help Lego really capitalize in their game development department. My dream Lego game for the better part of the last decade is something akin to Minecraft. Having a vast open world game free to create anything you want with various properties (Harry Potter, Marvel, DC) and then fly, drive, battle around the worlds with others would be a fantastic game that I think has even higher potential than a game like Fortnite.

Re: Switch Online Now Has Over 36 Million Subs, Nintendo Says It Will Continue To Improve Expansion Pack Tier
@Not_Soos Goldeneye, Smash, Banjo-Tooie, Diddy Kong Racing, and Donkey Kong 64 please.
And if Perfect Dark is an option then... yes please.
Re: The Nintendo 64 Platformer Glover Is Coming Soon To Switch
Excellent that it's not coming to NSO. Wish more classic games were coming over like that.

Re: UK Charts: NieR:Automata And No Man's Sky Switch Ports Make Decent Debut
Good on Arceus. Most fun I have had in a Pokemon game since Silver and Gold.
Re: Review: Pilotwings 64 - A Real Gem, Sparkling In The Shadow Of Mario 64
A new version of this game would be an instant buy. One of my all-time favorites to play. Still holds up well.
Re: Talking Point: Is The Golden Age Of Licensed Music In Games Over?
Rock Band 4 just got MOAR MUSE this past season so… I would say the golden age of music licensing ain’t over yet. 😉 🤘🏻
Re: Poll: What Switch Online N64 Game Are You Most Excited About?
I'm very excited for Goldeneye and Pilot Wings.
That said, I would be just as excited for Diddy Kong Racing and DK64.
Re: Hori Reveals The Split Pad Fit For Nintendo Switch

Re: Talking Point: What Are The Nintendo Switch's Defining Moments (So Far)?
1) Banjo and Kazooie in Smash announcement
2) Joy Con drift
Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Was The Best-Selling Physical Game In The First Half Of 2022 (Europe)
We need more of Arceus mechanics moving forward with just some refinements. Big step forward. Best Pokemon game by far from a fun factor.

Re: Nintendo Direct Mini To Air Tomorrow, June 28
Does Nintendo even make games anymore?
Re: Review: Pokémon Snap - Photo Fun That's Over Too Soon
This game is a perfect example of a game that should have a more modern version developed asap. This would sell like hotcakes.

Re: Feature: Will We Finally See These Games In The Not-E3 Nintendo Direct?
@Grumblevolcano I thought it was pretty apparent last week when the new Pokemon trailer dropped that we weren't getting a direct. I honestly think the reasoning is because they are currently in the midst of a hostile takeover via Elon Musk.
Re: Feature: Will We Finally See These Games In The Not-E3 Nintendo Direct?
@JGruns Took your advice! I will send you 5 Vbucks as a reward in your inbox. You should receive it between the times of now and never.
Xbox Cloud wins baby!!

Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl's Voice Acting Update Is Coming To Switch "Soon"
@Captain_Toad Oh no.... I had no idea he had a stroke. I wish nothing but the best for him and his loved ones. Thanks for shedding light on that.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl's Voice Acting Update Is Coming To Switch "Soon"
Tim Curry not back for Nigel Thornberry is an automate "No" for me.
Re: Poll: Has The Latest Trailer Convinced You To Buy Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
Pass. There were thoughts and elements put into Arceus that made that game such a nice breath of fresh air. To completely roll back those elements in this game seems like a huge step backwards. Considering all of the new elements they are putting into this game, it just feels strange that they would remove the things that really made their best Pokemon game to date stand out amongst the rest of their recent games.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Releases 18th November
Let us throw balls again in the open world please. It looks like you can still sneak up on Pokemon, but let us also throw balls.
I like the co-op, but ultimately this game is a pass.
Re: Reggie Shares Thoughts On How Nintendo Can Prepare For The Switch's Successor
If the currently existing library for the Nintendo Switch isn't carried over 1:1 on day one with the new 'Nintendo Switch 2', the platform will not be nearly as profitable.
The biggest lesson the gaming industry (I'm hoping) has learned at this point, is the continuation of the existing library with the addition of new titles.
Re: The "Finishing Touches" Are Being Added To No Man's Sky On Switch
@aresius As cautiously optimistic as I am, I am firmly expecting their team to be locking this game in at 30 fps before releasing.
Re: The "Finishing Touches" Are Being Added To No Man's Sky On Switch
I'm excited for this. Hopefully there is cross-progression implemented when this drops.

Re: Switch Online's N64 Update Is Live (Version 2.3.0), Here's What's Included
@ClamDown If they released all of those games on this service, everyone who owns a Switch would immediately subscribe.
My ultimate wishlist:
-Goldeneye 64
-Diddy Kong Racing
-Donkey Kong 64
-Wave Race
-Pilot Wings
Re: Feature: The 12 Best Wrestling Games On Nintendo Systems
@KindofaBigDeal No Mercy really was the goat. I'm hoping it possibly shows up on NSO.
Re: Pokémon Unite's In-Game Subscription Service Is Now Live
I hope that this subscription does not sell well so they then decide to roll the season pass into it as well. I would subscribe if they did that.
Re: Fall Guys Is Going Free-To-Play, Comes To Switch This Summer With Cross-Play And A Huge Update
This game will probably join my lineup of current F2P games I am playing:
-Fortnite
-Rocket League
-Smite
-Pokemon Unite
-Genshin Impact
-Fall Guys
Hoping Genshin comes to the Switch soon so that all my main games are playable on Nintendo's platform!
Re: Nintendo President Says "Most" North American Switch Online Users Have Upgraded To The Expansion Pack
When they include Goldeneye 64 as an Expansion Pack exclusive in August, everyone will be upgraded then.
Re: EA Reveals It's Working On An Unannounced Remake For 2023
@Shepdawg1 I would be a pretty penny... nay... a pretty nickel for that to be remade. Best game in the series.
Re: Nintendo Says It Wants To Avoid A Repeat Of Wii U With Switch's Successor
An upgraded Switch (power, battery life, bigger screen, built in microphone, bluetooth capabilities, better wifi card) is a no-brainer for successor.
Do not re-invent the wheel. Why fix what's not broken? other than joycon drift
Re: Talking Point: As Switch Hardware Sales Slow, How Long Can Nintendo Delay 'Switch 2'?
@Joe-b If Nintendo comes out with a successor, we should all expect that everything will carry over moving forward. Just updated/more powerful Switches from here on out.
Re: Talking Point: As Switch Hardware Sales Slow, How Long Can Nintendo Delay 'Switch 2'?
@AugustusOxy People shell out $1,000 on a new phone every year now... consumers will be consumers.
Re: Talking Point: As Switch Hardware Sales Slow, How Long Can Nintendo Delay 'Switch 2'?
Nintendo doesn't need to rush on this. Time is on their side. A true successor may not see the light of day until 2030.

Can't wait... will be nice to finally switch off and on between her and Gengar.
Re: Random: Switch Console Sales Outstrip The Poor Wii U's Total Software Sales
@HammerGalladeBro Can you elaborate what makes the Wii-U better hardware than the Switch? My mind does not comprehend that in any aspect.
Re: DLC Trailer Released For LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
@Browny The deluxe version of the game is only $10 more and includes all of this DLC.
Re: Pokémon Unite Reveals In-Game Subscription Service
@Bearzilla823 This game isn't really being ran by Nintendo.
Re: Pokémon Unite Reveals In-Game Subscription Service
If this subscription was more akin to Fortnite where it also provides the battle/season pass, I would be down. With what is currently on offer.... probably not.
Re: LEGO x Epic Games Announced, Planning A 'Metaverse' For Kids
@dkxcalibur My perspective is this:
Epic has done a fantastic job with Fortnite when it comes to collaborations with other companies. They are arguably the only true metaverse at this point because they're combining as many different properties, ideas, and people into their Fortnite sphere of the gaming world.
Who does this sound very similar to? Lego.
I have long since praised Lego for the past few decades for accomplishing the same feat with their products. They tend to license as many properties as possible in both their Lego creations and gaming collabs.
For me, this is a dream matchup. Epic, who has an incredible handle on the gaming sphere can help Lego really capitalize in their game development department. My dream Lego game for the better part of the last decade is something akin to Minecraft. Having a vast open world game free to create anything you want with various properties (Harry Potter, Marvel, DC) and then fly, drive, battle around the worlds with others would be a fantastic game that I think has even higher potential than a game like Fortnite.
I'm all in on this endeavor.
