This looks awesome, seems a lot more videogamey and less product placing and road trippy than the first movie.
Just from this trailer it's ticking a bunch of boxes for me.
I just hope they put the Sonic 2 boss theme in it somewhere. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzXwutv0yy8
I can't wait to see this movie.
I just hope later they could add PC Engine/ Turbo Grafx games like they did on the Wii and bring out controllers (maybe ones with rails like the NES controllers) for those systems. Although if they did that we might be in for another price hike.
I'm kind of more excited about the games that weren't shown in the direct but were announced to be coming to the switch by developers during the day.
Namely Super Sami Roll (a 3D platformer where you're a lizard who rolls around, collects stuff and tries to finish a level quickly), and Ex-Zodiac (Basically Star Fox with a better frame rate)
How I see it: With the pokemon battle shots, the old one the trainer has a better pose, but worse backpack. The colours are IMO better and not as washed out as the new version. The new one his hat looks like a fuzzy sticker slapped onto his head at a wierd angle after the picture was taken.
In the old pokeball throw the guy is too shiny, but the Pokeball looks beautiful, and the background is sharp. The new one the character model is definitely better with eyebrows in a better position, but the grass is hard to see because how blurry the background is and the shine on the Pokeball just looks wrong.
Overall I don't think I'd call it an improvement due to how blurry they've made it, but you're all more than welcome to disagree with me.
Mum threw mine out ages ago because it was dusty... Luckily she couldn't find the games and we ended up replacing it later, but we never let her live it down.

@MichaelP you can even recreate the bowser fight in a microwave if you have a mario and a bowser figurine.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Three More Classic Boards For Mario Party Superstars
I wonder if you can play this game with the new N64 controllers announced in today's direct?
Re: Random: Check Out This Game Boy Color And Nintendo DS Mash-Up
Hey it's not the retro future this time. Looks like Elliot has some competition for making Gameboys with too many screens.
Re: Rumour: It Looks Like Nintendo Will Soon Unveil A New Controller For Switch
I'm hoping it's either an N64 controller for N64 switch online games or a Gameboy Classic Edition.
But it could either be the Joycon with an angled top like in the patent from ages ago or a headset/headphones.
It'll most likely be nothing due to it being a rumor.
Re: Platinum Really Wants To Show You Bayonetta 3, But It Can't
@Hobbesyall Yeah those camera angles at the start of Project Eve were very Bayo.

Re: Video: Check Out This Comparison Of The Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remake Trailers
I can live with the changes. Though I prefer the higher contrast in colours and lack of blurriness the old version had.
Re: Talking Point: Which Video Game Song Could You Listen To For Ten Hours?
Life is Beautiful (aka The Whistle Theme) from Deadly Premonition.

Re: This LEGO Ideas Project Would Be A Great Way To Return To Wii Sports Resort
@Finntendo64 I liked Frisbee Golf, and used to play it when my friends came over. It's like golf but easier.
Normal Frisbee though. Eh. 🥏🐕 😒
Re: Poll: Did Nintendo Deliver Its Best Ever Indie World Showcase?
I'm kind of more excited about the games that weren't shown in the direct but were announced to be coming to the switch by developers during the day.

Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 11th August
I'm looking forward to Critadel, Akurra, Super Sami Roll and Ex-Zodiac.
Re: Here's What The Nintendo Switch Looks Like Next To Valve's Steam Deck
How does it compare to a wii u controller?
Re: Soapbox: Playdate Sold Out In 20 Minutes - Is It Time For A New Nintendo Handheld?
I'd like a new iteration DS model that is exclusively hand held and can actually fit in your pocket.
I don't carry bags around anymore so I only use the switch at home and I'd like something I can take out with me.
Ideally it would have decent graphics like 720-1080p and be backwards compatible with DS and 3DS games even if it doesn't do 3D.
Re: You Can Now Own The Bike From Pokémon Red, But You're Not Allowed To Ride It
Even if it had a chain and brakes, I'd be worried it would snap in half where the pedals are because it's missing the support bar above the pedals.
It still looks really cool though.
Re: Random: The Switch On Phil Spencer's Shelf Was A Gift From Nintendo
Maybe it was an OLED Switch like how he had a Series S in the background before that was announced.
Re: Should I Buy A Switch OLED? Which Nintendo Switch Is Best For Me?
Really shouldn't cost $70-$114 AUD more than the current Switch. It's got the Pro cost without the performance upgrade.
Re: Switch OLED Trailer Shows Tweaked Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Footage
How I see it:
With the pokemon battle shots, the old one the trainer has a better pose, but worse backpack. The colours are IMO better and not as washed out as the new version. The new one his hat looks like a fuzzy sticker slapped onto his head at a wierd angle after the picture was taken.
In the old pokeball throw the guy is too shiny, but the Pokeball looks beautiful, and the background is sharp. The new one the character model is definitely better with eyebrows in a better position, but the grass is hard to see because how blurry the background is and the shine on the Pokeball just looks wrong.

Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
I play docked mode 95% of the time and this adds no performance improvements, so I think I'll skip this one.
Re: Anniversary: The Nintendo 64 Launched 25 Years Ago Today

Re: Switch Error Code 2123-1502 - Users Still Waiting On Fix For Update 12.0.3 Issues
Should just do a rollback to 12.0.2 or whatever the last stable build was and release it as 12.0.4 until they can fix the issues.
Re: Retro: Remember The First Time Nintendo Did A Zelda Game & Watch?
Just makes me think if they did the 2 screen version it could've had the DS games. 😭
Re: Random: Forget 'Mario & Sonic', Sega's Blue Blur Has Found Himself A New Crossover Pal
It's like a cross between Jimmy Neutron and a monkey.
Re: Video: Remembering The 3D Classics NES Range On Nintendo 3DS
Shame they didn't they do this with Zelda, Mario or Donkey Kong.
Re: Rumour: The Next Donkey Kong Is Being Developed By The Super Mario Odyssey Team
I hope it has Donkey Kong (young Cranky) and Donkey Kong Jr in it, and that Jr gets his DK tie at the end of it.
Re: It Seems Game Builder Garage Will Only Be Available On The eShop In Europe
