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?

That genuinely looks freaking awesome

NO TRADE INS!! We must get switch to outsell ps2

I’ve been meaning to get 1 and 2 remastered, but worry this game will accelerate any hand arthritis I may have brewing

I have memories of my hands being literally cramped onto my ps1 controller

Probably not. My switch is on its last legs and the usb-c connector doesn’t reliably work for charging or screen projection. So I’m just trying to limp through to switch 2.

Pretty happy I got 8 years or whatever out of my OG switch, but everything drifts now 🤣

Music didn’t really work for me

Had a read of some of the comments. They need a hybrid model. Subscribe and get some NSO access and then this gets you discounted VC purchases. Might help drive sales of both and hopefully each could subsidise the others prices

If NSO dies, so does an established library. They’ve come to far to rejink it now.

That being said the NSO layout just doesn’t work for me, I find it so hard to go through. It should be like the streaming services when you hover over a game cover, a written description and a second window with game play footage also displays

Now you’re packaging with power!

Thanks for clarifying. I thought Nintendo had a pet seal

And after GameStop pays $50 for the trade they will sell it used for $20k (assuming same business model as eb games in Australia)

I only ever played the 3ds version. It was such a unique departure from the Zelda formula at the time. I can’t think of too many games that have followed a time loop pattern since. It’s basically Groundhog Day and the classic Nintendo doing wacky things.

While I appreciate the game, I’m not as wildly passionate about it as others.

That’s great and all but I’m really waiting for Zelda set #2

Moderation of socials seems to be too hard looking at recent trends on twitter/x and Facebook. Given that Nintendo has a large audience of children if they sell 100million of these things they will be setting themselves up for a lot of work. Better to avoid it

Wasn’t a fan. Not sure how it could be implemented better either. But I’ll take streetpass please

MP4 control option?

I thought they were game over.

Staff are an expense and they’re also people. So glad I don’t have a business where I have to balance the jobs of the many against the jobs of the few.

Insert shut up and take my money meme

Midnight in my timezone. Yuck. I might ask them to move it for me 🤣

Give me switch 2… with MP4

Also switch is almost within 3 million of reaching DS. God I hope it gets there. 160 mil probs not going to make it, but I would be very interested to see what they say PS2s figures are if things got close

The scalper model depends on stock shortage so they can inflate prices. I guess they themselves can drive shortages if they buy enough.

Nintendo can either i) make a buttload of stock or ii) have a purchase system that limits this to 1 item per person (but this is hardly fool proof)

People have already covered these options and option iii) find scalper and kick in balls is too difficult and smells like assault

Self destruct?

I see someone beat me to it, but I see someone has a brain as wacky as mine 👍

Nintendo learned their lesson from the WiiU debarkle. Also the industry seems less cut throat. WiiU the vibe I got was everyone was more than happy to celebrate Nintendo’s failure, now everyone seems to have Nintendo’s back (kind of). But in all honesty, criticising for switch -> switch 2?? Those that are complaining are complaining that Nintendo isn’t wacky enough???
