Not sure if anyone noticed, but Sasaki was wearing Kid Icarus underwear

Ah, 'will maybe' - what a wonderful phrase.
I'm sure we will get GC games eventually - this was why the OG Luigi's Mansion was never packaged with LM2 Remastered; Ninty are keeping this in their back pocket to entice more Nintendo Online subscriptions!

Amazing ^_^ I hope you guys register / Trademark the name PlayI - genius!

It would make sense to have a 'One App' portal for all things Nintendo!

I thought this was more like a jazzed-up Ninty daily calendar with fun facts, curios and free illustrations to mark special events rather than sharing specific Switch 2 news after 2nd April. Might want to update the post @Olliemar28 to remove ambiguity ^_^
EDIT: Post updated - remain awesome NL!

Wel, I'm so glad we've cleared that up. I was having sleepless nights.

Let the games begin...

@LXP8 Disgraceful isn't it? Scalping is a very naughty word😉

Again, the official hands-on demonstrations go all the way up to June, I highly doubt it will launch straight after that. These rumours are going to cause a massive drop in share price (& subsequent quick profit for investors) if Nintendo turn round and drop a Q4 release date, which is highly likely. Maybe this is the reason the rumours are dropping; it might be a tactical setup. Happens all the time.

Can't wait to fire this up later this week, eeep! Part of me is wondering though whether this will likely received a boost / upgrade once the Switch 2 launches, buuuuuut that could be ages away and I'm impatient ^_^

Considering the Hands-on demonstrations go all the way up to June, this rumour has zero basis.

Why not just have a cool down timer that can be replenished, like with Wonder Picks or Packs? Swapping out one currency for another just seems stupid.

Fun fact: Reggie once pronounced Lucario as 'Lucario', causing a nearly 30 second arguement over pronounciation at the local Smash Bros. tournament. They had lemonade afterwards - Source: My Uncle.

My Uncle, who works at Nintendo NoA obvs, had a Uncle who worked in NoE - there was a minor feud over who had the best tash, but they did eventually see eye to eye. Christmas family parties with them were always... intersting.

Welcome to DRM Club.

I'm hoping they will add in Elmer Fudd:
"Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet..." shoves gun up backside - double barrel load blasts through body and blasts out brains
"FATAWITY" cue trademark laugh

Hopefully, they might offer new incentives, like discounts on repeat subscriptions and maybe even replace Gold Points with straight-forward credit.... it's either that or, they may offer subscription tiers that offer various perks, or percentage discounts off first party eShop games.
I'm trying to be optimistic, but this is Nintendo after all, gawd bless them.

For Frye fans, why bother, we know which colour ink will dominate... sigh Milk chocolate all the way though

What would be good is if we get to choose from classic and modern designs. Really hoping we get some other classic Nintendo characters with corresponding tracks like Kirby.

@two-reeler Buuuuuut.... we get a new Mario Kart!

So, hands on events all the way up to June suggests that we might not be getting a release until at least September / October time. Wii & Wii U both came out in November, so very much a Fall release window.

Those poor Toad stress toys will be getting a good squeezing.
Maybe even the Water Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will get re-filled from all those tears.

Apparently, Switch 2 also has a hidden feature; when you immerse it in salt water, it turns off permanently.

Arrrrrrr, it be a dark day for WB, but a great day for pirates

Team Rocket strikes again

@Rpg-lover I'm worried the successor wont meet the ridiculous hype that people are expecting too.... 4K 60FPS is no way going to happen. A modest improvment to CPU & GPU sure, but it's going to be more of the same with some hopefully minor improvements to Joy-Cons / analog sticks, dock and UI. I'm excited none the less; I'll be buying it regardless of pros & cons, but I'm tempering expectations.

@Rpg-lover I'm not sure if that portable PC market is going to gain a big enough foothold to threaten Nintendo sales, especially seeing as Nvidia's next focus is AI software across a variety of markets to ensure long term growth and stability. Year on year revisions for high-end expensive GPUs is not sustainable and they've not made any significant leaps in high end tech since 2022 with their 4090 model.
For the most part, people buy a Nintendo console for the 1st party content and as a prime entertainment device in their home. Sales are anyones guess and will vary depending on so many factors, but content and marketing are key.
Certainly will be an interesting few years for tech growth!

If it does, it does, albeit tailored for the console. If it doesn't, well.... shrugs plenty of first party content, which is the primary reason why I play stuff on a Nintendo console.

It's for a product that's not even out yet and the pre-order page says 'Expected Design - Design will be tuned to final specifications'. As if they've got details on the Switch 2.

Graphite Lab: reads backlash, takes off sunglasses My gaaaaawd, our target audience have hands! They want the Touch! cue The Touch by Stan Bush AKA THAT Transformers song plays

To date, I have now hidden 2931 shovelware items on psprices. So sick of seeing weekly re-re-re-re-releases of 'Diamond', 'Gold', 'Platinum' versions of the same weekly tripe, which takes up so much space in every catergory like Coming Soon, Offers, New Releases etc. That sort of stuff should be banned. So many true indie gems get burried under that trash.

Mario & Luigi: Stop, or my Brother Will Shoot

@Ogbert That M&Ms store is crazy waste of space! Imagine if we got a proper Ninty / Pokemon store there!

Can't wait to play Tom Clancy's Animal's Creed Cry: Racoon Rising

@Not_Soos Excellent points, & the best stance to take on the issues raised. Do love our community here on NL ^_^
Tastless, probably, but then I do think back to Gilbert Godfried and how he got cancelled for telling a 9/11 joke... anyway, I digress. Jack Black was great as Bowser and that was always going to be a job you can't ignore.

Anyone else feel like Jack Black has sold out now? He was supposed to be taking a step back to support his family, but instead he didn't stand up for his buddy Kyle over a comedic response & focused on securing his contracts with Dreamworks etc. I would have much preferred if Jack re-focused on Jablinski Games on YT.

Pah, wake me up when he's completed it using a dance mat, or a pair of Donkey Konga Bongos 😛

@N00BiSH obviously I'm behind with the times ha! Hopefully those who they are marketing towards enjoy, but seems very expensive to me. Mind you, everything with IP attached to apparel is!

Um, they just look as so though someone stuck on some 3D stickers on them.

Of course, LoD is at the top - it's one of the finest action RPGs I've ever played. It seamlessly blends the nostalgic feels of the Dreamcast, PS2 & Cube days; old school cool, but just enough modern touches to keep it feeling fresh.

Still playing on the Wii U to this day, introducing a new generation to Nintendo Land, Wii Party U, Tank Tank Tank, Mario Party 10 & many more. Demise, shemise - the Wii U has a permanent home in my house. Long live underated consoles!

I'm suprised they entered this kind of market, as I didn't think there was mushroom for more competition.

Hoping this will make it to UK at some point soon! Saved up a load of Platinum coins in anticipation of some cool My Nintendo drops.

I'm really hoping for something new and exciting. I'm all for the obvious Kid Icarus Uprising remake, or a new entry in Smash further down the line, but I rather let him cook something fresh that might take advantage of the pending new hardware. Either way, so long as he puts his mental and physical health first, that's what's important.

Oooo excitement! So maybe more than 3-4 games every quarter then?
Besides the obvious inclusion of GC games, I would really like to see the back catlaogue fill up some more. Also, some UI improvements to get rid, or alter the borders and to see the back of the stupid user icon in the top left hand corner.

This is absolutely ludicrous. I'm no longer supporting Microsoft Windows, or USB C products.

Limited time product, only available 24/7 - Please note, may not work in a black hole.

Motion detection you say? Could be interesting to hear the Power Up Shroom noise or Coin noises during those... ahem.... more intimate moments.

I'm sure there's another joke in here somewhere, but I don't want to faucet.

A lot of historical sites / places of interest have a seperate audio guide in an app - Nintendo are missing a trick here as they could have used something like that with NFC and have extra fun things to do like a scavenger hunt to find hidden Luigi, Toad or any other characters to unlock around the museum. This could then unlock extras in app as simple as phone wallpaper, or perhaps a token to use at a gatcha machine etc.
