This seems cool, but I almost feel like tennis, badminton, volleyball and to lesser extent football will all just play the same. Also the Miis do NOT look like Miis

Metroid Dread is absent from that list... although being a more Nintendo fan focused property, and less of a family thing, I can kinda see why. Plus, most fans would have bought it physically, and likely nearer the launch. Right? Metroid is doing well, right?

What does the "Network Services" bit mean? Does that mean online won't be available?

I can't wait to buy a £50 set for a £4 Switch download of a free mobile game!

I'm just here to appreciate the article's subtitle

I think this speaks to a bigger thing - Where's the little bitesize games from 3DS? Sure, Game Builder Garage was cheaper, but we need more like this. Cheaper and smaller games, easy to jump into. Not everything has to be £50 or nothing. I'd love to see more Steel Diver, Pilotwings, Pullblox... even more original bits and bobs. Let me anger everyone here - not everything needs a physical release

I'm so happy to see a Nintendo game win the Nintendo category. Was expecting Atari to pull through and win that category

@Ooyah tendency to swallow, huh?

I just realised... Cyberpunk was a year ago. Doesn't seem that long at all...

I was able to grab Resi4 on Wii from Cex a few days back for only £4. Chose that version cos it has motion aiming, and c'mon, its £4. I've played a little under an hour, and my god, does it feel so... archaic! Possibly a problem with me, I've not particularly liked SM64 and Super Metroid's walljumps have me tearing me hair out. I'm still willing to give Resi4 more of a go though, because, c'mon, £4

Can always count on NL for filling my daily pun quota

@Mommar @PBandSmelly @HotGoomba should pair that up with Soupa Metroid

MARIO KART 9 PEOPLE!

Its on the TV until I need to go to the toilet. Then its portable mode for half an hour.

@BulkSlash PLEASE! No gyro is a no-purchase for me. Especially since I've never played a GTA so I have no nostalgia/burning inclination to buy these

@cherridog Nova Twins are super underrated! They sound great live too. I personally like Kingslayer best, because "doop doop doop doop blegh"

You can say we need a Switch Pro. You can say Metroid Dread isn't worth the same as a full retail game. You can say Nintendo's output is disappointing. You can even say games were better on the NES.

But NEVER say a BMTH gig isn't fun.

@KBuckley27 Close your eyes! Pray for plagues! Oh lord cleanse this earth and bring upon our 3D-S

@FNL numerical integers? What other kind of integers are there?

I'm cautious as to whether I should read any reviews. I've seen people say it's good, so I might just leave it and jump in? Or do I read them all and build hype? DECISIONSSSSS!!!!

THIS, ladies and gents, is the PS5 killer.

@Tandy255 Yeah, of course it is, it's a Hollow Knight clone

@fafonio thanks for a super considered, insightful reply. I can't say I've come at the game from the same perspective- BotW was my first Zelda (aside from 10mins of each NES game on 3DS) and the lush world and movement came to be what I associate with Zelda. And it's a design I love.
Recently I've completed Skyward Sword HD, and the items, dungeons and swordplay I fell in love with too. I like them in different ways. To me it's like sandbox vs course-clear Mario - both are great, and I wouldn't want to give up either of them. 'Closed' Zelda can deliver great puzzles, dungeons, stories and NPCs, and 'open' Zelda can give awe and exploration. I don't like the idea of either style going away - they have different focuses and mean different. Back to yay Metroid - if they wanted it open, why keep it as a Prime game? Call it Metroid Conquest and have Samus dive in and capture the whole world or something.

@ALinkttPresent I hope I don't come across as rude or dismissive in asking this, but did you not like Breath of the Wild then? Its interesting to hear other opinions considering its near-unanimous praise

I remember this last year! This was great! And didn't Nintendo do an Indie Direct either the day before or after?

@Anti-Matter Truly, these are this years' genre-defining greats.

I'm enjoying this argument. We say "maths" because there are multiple "mathematics" - algebra, analysis, topology, statistics, geometry, linear algebra... I could go on. And yeah, some of those fields do step on each other's toes, but they are still different "mathematics." I believe we should say "sciences" for the same reason when talking about the fields of chemistry, physics, biology, ... although we can let it slide when using "science" to talk about the scientific method. And before you argue that "math" can be used for the 'mathematical method', we already have a word for that: "logic."

That's one hell of a price. I can't afford this though. I'm not gonna buy it. I'm not gonna buy it. I'm not gonna -

Welp, nothing for me here. And I'm sure there's nothing important releasing next week, I'll check in in two weeks and see what I missed. Can't be anything monumental...

@D_Cybercherries yeah, I think it was Switchup I saw this on. Sweet!

This is the one that did a whole bunch of Youtube sponsorships a while back right?

I hope they do this for Wii U BotW too. Not that anyone would get it for anything other than pure novelty. But who needs anything other than novelty

@talllennart hav u read the article u can fly wiv glitch unaltered everyone can fly 2.6km is glitch not hacc

@talllennart yez yez u can om nitedo switch

@talllennart noooo not hakk my uncle work at nitedo and he say this is legit and my 2mil rupees also legit and he said there gon be a new direct 2day wiv botw 4

@sleepinglion Tell that to my family who keep saying "Wii Switch" but the Wii U is still "Wii"

Mini Consoles are Plug-and-Plays, but I don't think Plug and Plays are consoles. Same reason as the Game&Watch - it doesn't have interchangeable, new games to either insert/download.

@GrailUK is it Super Duper Monkey Ball?

@nessisonett Ladies and gentlemen, this is the revolution

Random predictions: New Super Duper Mario Bros, Star Fox Pi, LEGS, Splatoon 3 development stopped for 3DS port, Dreamcast comes to NSO, Phil Spencer comes on saying "f*ck wario" and announces a port of the 360 Halo games (but only in 540p docked), Miyamoto starts an Onlyfans

Nothing for me here. Now, if only there was a sale from Ubisoft once in a while...

I went on the tube the other day just to see if I could see any Metroid Dread ads. Didn't see any, nor did I get any Streetpass hits. ITS NINTENDOOMED!!!!!!

@SonOfVon well I like the sound of that anyway, I'm hoping this comes true

@SonOfVon like the microgame in Smooth Moves?

Having this alongside the OLED wouldn't be a bad idea. Not convinced it'll be enough to replace my trusty pro controller though

@Friendly thanks for the warning! I'm just gonna have to watch them all after I finish the game then! That's normal right...

Is this one safe to watch? I've been keeping away from all the trailers since Trailer 2 gave away slightly too much for me

Pokemon 25 sounds like some temporary game on NSO

Honey, wake up! It's time to ***** all over the lacklustre Switch Online offerings again!

The number of times this gets brought up, yet nothing ever gets done about it... Hopefully the GB/GBA rumours are true. But I doubt it at this point

@rottame I used to sometimes play Metroid Blast with my dad and occasionally my sister when I could convince them, always with me in the Gunship and them on the ground. I've barely played any local multiplayer since then tbh, no one else I know cares about games lol. Maybe I'll revisit some of the Nintendoland single player stuff, actually finish the Donkey Kong one
