$450 + 46% tariff will be like $650

Hugs to our US brothers and sisters

Trump is not a gamer 🤣

I’m impressed how respectful everyone has been. I guess the whole world is on the trump roller coaster and we can’t get off until it stops.
I feel awful for Nintendo though. This will impact Switch 2 USA sales for sure as there appears to be no negotiation. It’s very unfortunate timing to release a console right now.

I would have thought tariffs was to drive manufacturing back to America which is a reasonable goal. Funnily enough Australia was one of the last countries hanging on to tariffs for this goal (for electronics manufacturing) but some think the release of the colour TV killed off Australian tariffs.

Nintendo should just ship everything to Canada and people can drive over?
What’s the go American/Canadian people, is there much searching etc at the border?

I haven’t voted because I’m torn between donkey Kong bananza and the BOTW where link is NOT looking back toward the camera.

I’ll probably go for bananza because it’s original

Wait was Pauline the mayor of new donk city? I was today years old when it clicked that this is all a throw back to the original donkey Kong game

I’m going to need one of those express micro sd cards at launch because my Wishlist is getting pretty big

Didn’t really have much interest in street fighter but looks like enough legacy characters remain that I don’t have to learn the game from scratch. Now I want

Roster schmoster…. Show us the tracks!

I had reservation about the ‘thin-ness’ and worried that the mouse /controller would tilt and lose contact. The case idea is the perfect solution.
Watching the Metroid prime demo though, it’s almost like they expect you to Witcher mouse only for brief periods.
Could also be total gimmick / Nintendo being Nintendo. On paper it’s a great idea!

What are the results?

Ouch. I definitely didn’t spend enough time on the hand helds

And what the heck prime 2 & 3? WW on NSO GameCube??? What about TP.

These games have allegedly (rumour mill) been complete for years! And MP4 drops and unless you have a Wii still running there is no chance to visit MP 2 and 3. Please don’t release them (or TP) via GameCube NSO or I’ll be very disappointed. Waves fist at Nintendo (but only a little because I still want my switch 2)

Reading between the lines, if your NSO subscription runs out, I assume your BOTW TOTK access does too

I really admire the pun / play on banana with bananza… but how does this work in the Japanese translation? Probably the least important thing about the game but I can’t get this question out of my mind!

I’m shocked there isn’t a 3D Mario. But ultimately was blown away by the line up of games otherwise. As soon as you both talked about mouse mode it seemed wild to think that such a ‘thin’ device would work well. Sounds gimmicky at this point.

New 3D Mario would have made it 10/10

Well there’s next weeks box art brawl sorted

I would play these if it happens. Never played halo and hear good things. I mean it even got it owns TV show.

It makes a goofy beep noise? Hell yeah, I’ll be spamming that thing non stop.

I must have a fundamental misunderstanding… why are we hung up on lack of 4K output when upscaling is done at a hardware level?

I want Miis to be the new koroks. Not a fan, ears are even weirder.

In all honesty probably buying none for switch 1.

Bring on the switch 2… my body (and bank account) is ready!

I don’t think I would replay BotW or TotK if they were remade. I’ve already played them to death.

Prime remastered remastered has a certain ring to it though

I have mixed feelings. I think this movie will be mediocre and won’t capture the magic of the game. Happy to be proven wrong but honestly I’m just super nervous this will flop.

Nudge nudge Alex… I’m waiting for the trailer breakdown / analysis!

Insert ‘shut up and take my money’ meme

Doom the dark ages will be next right?

Loving the countdown timer love.
Seeing 2 countdown timers blew my tiny little mind!

Will they show Metroid prime 4? If they do, the switch 2 direct just got even crazier! They might just drop Metroid prime 4 release date and acknowledge more footage in the switch 2 direct

I need early June. Going to UK/France in late June!

Can’t say that I read the patch notes… but I had to scroll for quite a while. Big patch!

I’m cool either way. It will break up the wait for switch 2.

Clearly playing Xenoblade chronicles makes you more attractive. Fair warning that people will be throwing underpants at you when you leave your house.

That’s amazing. I wonder how long it took to plan and build.

This is the timeline I never knew I needed.

Very pretty! The black screen border was something I never even thought about when switch originally released, but now as tech has moved on, I find it glaringly obvious, especially when it contrasts against the white menu.
Here’s hoping switch 2 display is almost to the edge.

It looks nicer on the lite though as the border matches the handheld colour.

@Olliemar28 love it. It’s nice and subtle (on mobile display anyway). Love your work NL team!

“Research” is thrown around so loosely. Literally the twitter post author is noting some coincidental timings and speculating. I’m down for it to be correct, but research is a huge exaggeration of what they have done.

@Thomystic hehe good pick up. That’s exactly why I quotation marked!

I’m very happy to see NintendoLife so active on Bluesky. My only gripe is how much anti trump/musk sentiment is on there. It’s like every second post - but that’s why people are on Bluesky in the first place!

Anyone could guess pretty safely that prime 4 is going to feature in the switch direct. I’m worried I’m letting my expectations get too high

I’m getting pumped!

So does this AI upscaling “double” the resolution or is it specifically 540 -> 1080p

NintendoLife needs a countdown timer for the switch 2 direct.

I can’t 100% games since about early 20s (age not 2020s 🤣) when suddenly responsibilities got in the way of serious gaming. Also games like BOTW and Witcher 3 are just soooo jam packed 100%ing comes at a huge opportunity cost now days.

Mid gen crisis… I’ll be playing my oled switch in a convertible with an escort after joining the gym and getting hair implants.

As switch 2 approaches, hoping for some more info to slowly drip feed us

That quote mentions 3D Mario and Metroid prime 4 which is interesting but not surprising

Solid animation. That’s an amazing fan effort.

Early days but pretty lopsided love for NA art at this point. Also the NA ninja is just more badass

Honestly… I’m very dubious about how well it will translate to film, and given the passion for Zelda, anything other than a 9/10 or 10/10 will leave fans non-plussed, so I see this as a massive gamble by Nintendo.

That’s the biggest festering turd of a marketing failure I have ever seen. How could anyone have green lit this?

Did I miss this? Did they say why?
