I genuinely like the design of the world and most of the creatures, but every time theres shots of the human characters, everything loses it's depth. It's really weird. Like you can tell exactly how far behind the actors the blue screen is. Should've just gone completely CGI.
The Action Bundle wouldn't be too surprising, but that Beacon Bay one is certainly perplexing. I might be into a brand new game. Haven't picked up the cosy bundle as it just seemed a little too dated for me
Some great looking stuff. Particularly excited for Aurora and Maleficent who I believe were quite high on my rankings when I did their survey a while back. If I can appear ungrateful for a sec though... I was hoping for another "obscure" character at some point on this roadmap - like an Oswald.
What I really want to see them do again is another Pedometer. The one for Wii Fit U was fantastic, unironically, one of my favourite things to do on the console was upload my steps to the challenges like climbing Mt Everest. The time when I was carrying that and my 3DS everywhere was glorious.
Whenever the Switch 2 announcement is (which I do think is within the next 4 weeks), I doubt it'll be combined with a regular direct.
I reckon maybe a 20minute direct soon ending with a "Tune in on (date) as we reveal the successor to Nintendo Switch" and that'll be within the following 10 days.
Can't imagine it'll be anything other than a lazy port though, so I doubt I'll be interested. I had the original on DS and Kingdoms on Wii and they were fine.

Re: Elden Ring Coming To Switch 2
"Tarnished" is a strange subtitle for this. Bit of a negative connotation

I predicted this for the June Direct last year and didn't consider it a possibility for this one.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
Weird to have this and Mario Kart in the same year, but whatever. Was hoping the Sakurai game would be Kid Icarus. Still a fun announcement for sure.

Re: Random: Not Even Horror Maestro Stephen King Can Crack A Good Pokémon Joke
His endings are constantly disappointing, so why would his punchlines be any different?

Didn't know it even released. I remember it being announced and (I think) delayed. But not released
Re: Final Minecraft Movie Trailer Still Hasn't Convinced Us On The Big-Screen Adaptation
I genuinely like the design of the world and most of the creatures, but every time theres shots of the human characters, everything loses it's depth. It's really weird. Like you can tell exactly how far behind the actors the blue screen is.
Should've just gone completely CGI.
Re: Talking Point: Where Should 'Luigi's Mansion 4' Take Place?

Re: Rumour: Removed EA App Listings Suggest More MySims Revivals Might Be On The Horizon
The Action Bundle wouldn't be too surprising, but that Beacon Bay one is certainly perplexing. I might be into a brand new game. Haven't picked up the cosy bundle as it just seemed a little too dated for me

Re: Nacon Reveals New Switch 2 Accessory Range, Including Mario Kart Wheels
I like looking for my case options early.
I'm guessing the grey version is a developer/manufacturer thing? I think they had black versions for the first Switch?

Plus a filter for physical/download only
Re: Nintendo and Lego Are Collaborating On A New Game Boy Set

Can't wait to play.

Toon soon to start talking about the next expansion?

Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley's New Expansion Pass Welcomes Flynn, Merida, Hades And More
Some great looking stuff. Particularly excited for Aurora and Maleficent who I believe were quite high on my rankings when I did their survey a while back.
If I can appear ungrateful for a sec though... I was hoping for another "obscure" character at some point on this roadmap - like an Oswald.
Re: 'Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete' Arrives On Mobile This December

Re: Review: Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo - Pricey But Delightful, And Something Only Nintendo Could Pull Off
I wish they gave it a circular screen to fit the circular shape. Could've had analogue clock designs as well
Re: Forget 'Switch 2', Nintendo Has Just Revealed An Official Alarm Clock
What I really want to see them do again is another Pedometer. The one for Wii Fit U was fantastic, unironically, one of my favourite things to do on the console was upload my steps to the challenges like climbing Mt Everest. The time when I was carrying that and my 3DS everywhere was glorious.
Re: Forget 'Switch 2', Nintendo Has Just Revealed An Official Alarm Clock
It's a shame they didn't partner with Google to add these to the Nest hubs which can do a lot more. It's very expensive at $100

Re: Video: Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Gets New Gameplay Trailer, Out October
Wait, is there no trading? I was hoping this would take off like Pokemon Go and that I would meet strangers at the pub who would want to trade.
Re: 'My Time At Evershine' Revealed, Confirmed For Switch Successor
They might not means Switch 2, they might mean the Nintendo NX, which we're still waiting to see.... Went dark quite some time ago now
Re: Poll: With 'Switch 2' Rumours Swirling, Will There Be A September Direct This Year?
Whenever the Switch 2 announcement is (which I do think is within the next 4 weeks), I doubt it'll be combined with a regular direct.
I reckon maybe a 20minute direct soon ending with a "Tune in on (date) as we reveal the successor to Nintendo Switch" and that'll be within the following 10 days.

Re: Rumour: Wii & DS Favourite 'MySims' Could Be Coming To Switch Soon

Re: Hands On: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed - A Fresh Coat Of Paint For A Once-Flawed Platformer
