Good news for me

@TheFunkyPhantom I went digging for the info as for someone who hasn't played the games, I thought it was important they did it... Would've been cooler if they included it with the physical cart but ah well

@TheFunkyPhantom @Samalik @MinervaX76

@steizgr8 Yep, for both https://www.iam8bit.com/products/lies-of-p-complete-edition-iam8bit-nintendo-switch-2-exclusive-edition?_pos=3&_fid=a1dcb8159&_ss=c

Cool and all. But realistically, this game was announced years ago and is still years away and the footage we saw wasn't really new.

Looks ugly and charmless again. Been waiting so long for the return of Wuhu Island and this is so disappointing.

Couldn't even commit to a date for the Beta Test. Absolutely ridiculous

I hope so too... But then I also hope they remake Banjo-Kazooie... and also get to work on their own thing now they're free of Microsoft/Activision........ I want too much from TfB

I've worked six days straight. My one day off is tomorrow and then I have another six days.
This was perfect timing

Wouldn't be surprised if we get the first one announced at some point as well. If not this direct, maybe september

This is what happiness feels like

Really not being filled with confidence in this release given how they've put so little into this announcement. Seems like they quietly want to get it out and move on now

Wonderful announcement. Hopefully an all on cart physical as well. That would be awesome.
This was my game of show for State of Play.

Feels strange they kept the murphy gameplay when he was designed specifically for the Wii U gamepad back when it was exclusive. Those segments never felt as satisfying when playing on other platforms to me.

"Four all-new musical stages"
I'm sold

Would be wild if they make a deal with Xbox and get Banjo-Kazooie in there too

Forgot this was going to be a thing

Got Final Fantasy and Star Fox pre-ordered

I'll enjoy my bronze medal for the next 60 seconds until I'm inevitably beaten

Edit: Yep. Already gone lol

Cool thats theres physicals. But would've preferred they be one release bundled together. Especially with those prices.

Another thing to remember is Nintendo has the cheapest console online by a country mile, so this will be the cheapest way to play multiplayer

@Varoennauraa Official Nintendo Blog post. Also mentions cross-play/progression

This campaign honestly looks quite fun. Dreading the download size for the inevitable Key-Card though.
I also really hope it has cross-play. My friend buys CoD every year on PS5, so it would be nice to play with him.

EDIT: It will have cross-play!! And mouse controls!!!

I'll definitely get it. But I'll wait for a sale first. It goes down to less than £15 every few months

If Nintendo still want to develop mobile games, why not make a new Art Academy for iPad

Hopefully there'll be a physical for Switch 2. Even if it'll most likely be a Key Card

LEGO Skylines sounds right up my alley

I swear it wasn't that long ago that 5 was released? But then I have no idea how frequent these things release anyway.

Is it the same size as a standard Switch case? If I sat in on the shelf will it fit height wise with my collection? Not sure what size the book is

With the Pac-Man cabinet retiring soon, it's definitely got to be a replacement for that. Could be cool.

@michellelynn0976 When have I once done that?

Even with all the trailers I've just never understood what this game is. Probably would've helped me if it wasn't Yoshi, but instead a new IP.

Surprising to hear the criticisms about the visuals as that was the one thing I felt the game had going for it.

Was just looking to see if there might be anything worthwhile and I stumbled upon an absolute blast from the past. They've published "Bubble Trouble" on the Switch. I used to play that loads on either Miniclip or NotDoppler or something. An old flash game.

I have been tempted by the Piranha plant for a while. But I really want the larger Mario Kart sets

@inenai Lego never re-release old sets. But what they do sometimes is remake them. Every few years we get a new Tumblr/Batmobile from The Dark Knight trilogy for example.

I doubt they'll remake this set any time soon though, considering there's still lots of set potential from the Zelda universe to explore.

Whilst watching I said to myself "What's the point of having all these different puzzle types?" and then the video explains why with the moments they connect. Pretty cool concept.
I'll keep my eye on this.

I'm interested. But that price, even the standard price, is a bit off-putting.

I'm so excited. Will be playing with mouse mode

Switch 2 versions all across the board for me. I'm not sorry.

Good thing it hasn't released at all yet then- oh wait...

£41.99 on the eShop. Not bad. Probably £50 for the physical then.
Think I'll pre-order this one

Looks pretty incredible to me. Love the visuals and the design. The cinematic stuff seems cool. The fact they're going for a full on reboot and simply calling the game "Star Fox" is so interesting to me.
I've played 64 3D but don't have a vivid memory of it, so the levels will basically be new to me again anyway. I am a bit worried about the length, considering it was a 2 hour game before.

The multiplayer seems really cool though and I might finally buy online to actually give this one a chance.
Mouse mode - YAY! Camera stuff seems fun and I think my girlfriend will enjoy the co-op co-pilot mode.

Yeah all around, seems pretty promising. But I hope it's not one of their full price games if it's got a short campaign.

I 100% believe in the OoT remake as well. I reckon if this does well, we could see a sequel to it within a few years.

Don't like that this is Numbered 4. I wasn't too keen on this game to begin with and with the risk of not getting part 2? Such a bizarre choice. I feel like there's loads of better choices. South of Midnight would have been a fantastic one.

I got my fill of spiders this year with RE9, thanks xD

The last one is probably the worst game I've played on Switch 2 at the moment.

Got Indy pre-ordered. I must've missed the announcement of Little Nightmares II, hopefully they do a physical down the line, so I can have the whole trilogy.

Edit: Turns out there is a physical releasing the same day.

I'm still just not feeling this game

This was the game I was most interested in during that Indie Direct. With this and Inazuma Eleven, my patience is getting rewarded

I want large space battles, on rails cinematic moments and Ratchet & Clank esque shooter/platforming

"Don't get too excited though, because it sounds like the Switch 2 version will be a 'code-in-a-box' monstrosity, meaning no cartridge will be included, only a poxy sheet of paper with a download code printed. Boo."

This reads exactly like the guy from Physical Paradise on YouTube speaks 😂
