It would be nice to see more games and, most importantly, the release dates for some games we already seen.

I hate the idea of game key cards. So, I'm only pre-ordering and paying full price on games that are in the cartridge.
For this reason I'm getting Cyberpunk day one.
The others, either sales or second hand.

@PsylockeRules as far as I know, Capcom is only releasing the physical version in the US and Japan
Had to get mine from Amazon US...

It is a shame that the cartridge version is not available in Europe.
Just like with Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, I had to get this one from Amazon US to have the physical copy and the comic book that comes with it.

I just hope that in the future Capcom will release the physical version in the EU as well.

I remember playing the OG Mario Kart so much!
I remember that the non human racers always drove on the same exact path and they liked to cheat so there was a circuit where you would do a big jump passing above a part of the track you've been already. At that point I'd leave a banana on the path that the other racers would certainly pass and knowing they would cheat (by jumping over the banana) they would fall on the track below and had to redo that bit of the track several times!

He's absolutely right.
From all release games, Cyberpunk is the only one that I'm pre-ordering.
All others I'll wait for sale or get second hand.

I'm fully supporting CD Projekt Red by buying their physical game on day one.
This one and any other game card not so much.

Seeing the water physics in the game, more than rainbow road, I want a new Wave Race game!

Never played Cyberpunk but got Witcher 3 on the Switch and liked a lot.
So I'm getting Cyberpunk on release and hope that they will do another miracle port of Witcher 4.

I'm still sad that they didn't implement any destructible race tracks like in the game Split Second.
I always found that idea so fun and it would be perfect for a Mario Kart game.

Preordered the bundle from Amazon DE (I live in BE) and paid 510EUR but saw that Amazon FR had the best prices which, unfortunately, I couldn't get the invitation to buy from there.
I will continue to monitor the online stores for a better deal so, hopefully, something a bit cheaper will become available.

@abbyhitter same here! but also, at least for me, Final Fantasy and Street Fighter!
I will for sure support these devs so that more games will be made available in the future.

Got an invitation from Amazon DE and pre-ordered the bundle version.
However, when I requested the invite, I did for the bundle and the console only (in hopes to guarantee one) and received an email from Amazon yesterday informing that for the console only invite, I didn't get the invitation and that from now on, there wouldn't be any more invites and to keep an eye on the website for when the item becomes available again.
I'm just glad I won't have to monitor it and can't wait for the release of it!

Getting it day one and hopping for the new Witcher port too!

This is a day one for me.
I'll skip MK for this one.
MK will probably get second hand at a cheaper price.

I really thought that these upgrades /updates would be for free. A bit of let down they are changing for it.

A Zelda Ocarina of Time remake would be an amazing surprise!
Wouldn't hurt to have a new Star Fox either...or a Wave Race...or a 1080...or F-Zero...or...

To be released in December! 😂

Jokes aside, I hope we get to play it sooner than later.

This is a nice addition!
I still play it on my Vita from to time.

Great initiative but I think I'll stick get physical copies whenever possible.

For me the only salvation of this Direct. But still a bit disappointing that we didn't get a release date.
Here is hoping that Nintendo will bring the big guns on the Switch 2 presentation.

Really don't know what to expect at this point.
Hopefully there will be good surprises but I'm not so confident that anything of great interest (bar MP4) will be announced.

I hope they will bring back some forgotten IPs.
It would be good to have a new Wave Race or 1080 games. These used to show the capability of the console and it would be good to have them demonstrating the new tech.

Jesus, it looks like another copy and paste of previous games.
Can Game Freak try to improve it? At least a little bit?

Capcom vs. SNK 2 is, for me, the best of them all and it's one of the top fighting games of all time along with MvC2.
Can't wait to play it again!
Getting my version from Amazon US as it comes with the comic book and cartridge.

At this pace, soon, we won't have any more details to be revealed 😅

The only thing that matters at this point is the release of the Switch 2.
We all know that those games will be cross platform so it's difficult to understand why they are holding back the release of the new console.

It doesn't matter if it reaches 160M, Sony will push the numbers for the PS2 again!
From Nintendo's side, they should already reduce the price for the Switch1, it's crazy that they haven't done that yet.

Nintendo should just release the console in March as previously done.
I wonder what games are going to be expected to Switch 1 after March as there is nothing in the pipeline confirmed from April onwards (not counting games with a date like 'expected in 2025').
Assuming the Switch 2 won't be released before June and with a high risk of being pushed to September, the sales of the Switch 1 will be abysmal.

There is absolute no doubt it will be a cross-gen title.
Nintendo would be crazy to ignore the current user base of over 150M !!
It is a pity but I understandable one.
I wish they would add the feature from Split Second game, where you can change the tracks by destroying them, THAT would be ultimate chaos in a MK game!
Hopefully, they will have some exclusives to show off the power of the new console (please be a Wave Race!)

@AussieMcBucket exactly! and I bet that from now on we will have a lot more rumours/leaks, which will continue until April
BTW, I'm also excited about it and was already ready to go to a 'official partner' page to preorder it!

@AussieMcBucket couldn't agree more.
It's really hard to understand why they decided to split the presentation at this late in the game.
Just show the whole thing and inform ppl when it's possible to pre-order it. There is absolutely nothing in between now and the summer that would be so special that the Switch1 would get a huge push on the sales so the cannibalise excuse makes no sense.
Also, I reckon the release will be in September. No way they will release it just before the summer season starts.

Why in God's name they decided to split the announcement in two separate events?
The result of this is more rumours until April!

See, was it difficult?

On another note, let's get ready for the second round of rumours as Nintendo, for some reason, decided that it's wise to split the announcement in two separate events!

How about announcing it already?

There is a rumor from the ppl that guessed right the dates of PS5 and Alamo clock that Nintendo plans to reveal the Switch 2 next Friday 17th.
The console launch date would be 3rd March with MK9 and RDR2 as the launching games.

60 Euros! LOL
not a chance to get it at this point.

It's time already for a Direct.
If anything, the looks of it are pretty much confirmed.
Just need to know the specs and games.

I've never played it but like the Arkham games.
Is it similar?

Does anyone have the link for the survey?

It's a matter of time for the actual console to leak.
I'm wishing for it to happen so Nintendo will learn a lesson.
This should have been announced already.

I don't know, this is my second Smash game but it just does not click with me.
Played it for few days and never tried again.

Oh God, no, please no. Not another Kirby game.
Bring back Star Fox or any other IP that we haven't seen for ages.

As I'm sure Capcom won't release a physical version in Europe, as before with Marvel vs. Capcom collection, I've preordered it from Amazon US.

PS Vita only failed because of the proprietary SD Card that costed an arm and a leg.
Also, Sony jumped the ship before everyone else, which is insane.
Otherwise Vita was a solid handheld, very powerful at the time.
If Sony gets it right this time, they could indeed be a serious competitor.
Microsoft... nah...

There is no way for a Direct.
My guess is that we will have the Switch 2 review early January.

60€ !!! for a remaster version ? are they crazy?

For me, it's insane that they released the trailer for MP4 and didn't announce at the same time the release of MP2 and 3 to complete the collection.

Probably they will be able to launch their new 'PSP' before Nintendo releases the Switch 2
