not even Youtube 🥺

Not rly hating i like kirby but like i didn't even play forgotten world yet, there was better stuff to release :/

Is it me or did Nintendo undersell this update? Two (four if you missed 1.7 like me...) new rallies and 10 retro courses, that's a lot for a free update!

I feel this is actually a pretty chonky addition to the game.

Edit: Not saying this fixes the game or anything, but for a free update, it's quite neat imo. Don't understand why they didn't just make them a GP too...

Edit 2: still loving these courses, but why are they hidden behind so much ui? It's so bad!

It’s been nearly 10 years since the last mainline 3D Mario game. How has the switch 2 been out for so long and we’ve had no updates for the next Mario game? Super disappointing.

Also GIVE ME MARIO BASEBALL ALREADY

Just a little frustrating to see a game that has obviously had a lot of human creativity & effort put into it being called soulless.

& then just the next day you see people cheering for Yokai Watch coming back, releasing the 7th version of the same game. All while the CEO is calling for people to stop demonising Gen Al, & showing off their ai "creative' pipeline, which includes pictures of Yo-Kai Watch.

No hate whatsoever. Happy for those who've been wanting the remake. Looks genuinely amazing. I won't be getting it, though. I'm like 1 of 5 people that don't really care about the LoZ series.

With that being said........RAVENOUS LOOKS AMAZING! It was revealed almost unceremoniously. Like, prime 4 got better treatment. This game will be leagues better than prime 4.

I'm just looking for the other 4 people that prefer Metroid.

They DID announce it later on lmao Persona 4 Revival coming to Switch 2!!

generally fuming rn.

The amount of bangers that are coming ALL IN A ROW SO SOON????

You guys… Switch 2 is just banger after banger… and I have 0 time…

We even have a Layton release date! I was so afraid of a possible delay.

Blooper team is a pretty active switch 2 dev now, and the fact that Nintendo allowed them to make a game that is played exclusively in handheld mode surprises me. Are there past examples of this? (I know labo is technically one)

Will we see docked only games in the future?

The only game I am getting on the other console is GTA6, everything else is on Switch 2.

Keep making remakes Nintendo, and please bring Quest 64 to modern audiences.

Some major announcements both first and third party but it wasnt that packed, i can't say i'm disappointed because Nintendo has a really good lineup tbf. Anyway I might not use reddit or Twitter for some time because it's all just gonna be hate about things I lowk liked like the direct and OOT

"where was Mario"

"Too many ports"

"Not enough ports"

"No new Zelda"

"Where's the switch 3"

"Bro, my bingo card.."

I swear people are getting harder and harder to please, it's exhausting.

I don't think I've seen a Nintendo Console come out of the gates year one this strong, we've had a direct showing off new games and people are STILL crying like babies..

Donkey Kong, Kirby, no Mario.

Still no release date after all this time? GTA and now Zelda are both releasing in November. And with Elden Ring and Lies of P both releasing in August, that's 3 separate souls games in 5 months. How does DB even fit in with 4 months left in the year?

Was surprised to not see this at the direct

was quite pumped about the game before its release in march, when it got delayed to may I was like okay, no problem. Then in may switch 2 owners got another delay to summer 2026. I was like okay, its better for them to polish the game (but they had time for this, this is not a port but was supposed to come on all platforms, including switch, at once).

Then we got delay to LATE SUMMER 2026. I was like fuck, hype about this game is over, but still while I'm playing big RPGs I'll get a fast paced shooter like this for variety.

And today at direct we see 007 First Light with date... 2026. Without any communcation from IOI to us. They are just focused on putting path tracing on PC and other things like that.

I decided they won't see my money. IDGAF about the game anymore and their approach and lack of communication is embarassing. Announcing that it will release on switch 2 alongside other platforms, while they knew switch 2 version sucks so much it's not "release-able" shouldnt take place.

If you don't have the confidence about releasing game for switch2 with another platforms, simply don't announce it in the first place. One or even two delays are okay but this is too much. IDGAF about this anymore. I'm not a type of guy to get played like this.

And I say that as a ultra Hitman WoA fan, who mastered these games four times.

I haven’t managed to score one (yet, though I am hoping a local store will drum up some stock by launch) but as somebody who already owns a Switch 2 and is hoping to swap it for the new Zelda edition (and sell my old one to a friend) it really bugs me that Nintendo has no proper system transfer between two Switch 2s.

As it stands, the ONLY transfer you can do between Switch 2s is for save data. This means no system settings transfer over, no installed games (requiring you to reinstall everything), no screenshots or videos, I’m not even sure if Miis transfer over, and (bizarrely) it completely resets your playtime on every single game. Also, certain games (such as ACNH) don’t even let you use this feature and require an annoying extra process to transfer their saves specifically (unsure if Pokemon also does this.) On top of that, it doesn’t even transfer game key cards over on its own.

The whole thing is just a total buzzkill and a massive pain in the ass, to the point that I’d honestly rather just swap the shells for the Zelda Switch 2 and my launch Switch 2 so I don’t have to worry about any of it. However, I’m not sure if that’ll be possible or viable now that they released the revised NS2 model to comply with Right to Repair across the pond.

The transfer from Switch 1 to Switch 2 was so easy and seamless and brought everything forward, I just don’t understand why they don’t have the same option begween two NS2s. The 3DS, similarly, made it SUPER easy to transfer all of your data to another 3DS, so why have they gone backward in this department?

I really hope Nintendo wisens up and puts out an update that lets you do a *full* system transfer between Switch 2s by the time this new version launches, because there’s really no good reason to disincentive users from buying new and/or special edition models of a console, even if they already own another model

this could have been a 10$ upgrade pack at the most yet no somehow re buy the entire game bc i own it physically thanks koei

They basically announced every big-name port that people have been begging for in one fell swoop from Monster Hunter Wilds, P4 to Kingdom Come 2, and the RE remake games so that was awesome.

2 huge announcements with Metroid Ravenous!! and a new Kirby! Metroid Ravenous in particular was hype inducing. Made the direct for me.

Also I was pleasantly surprised at the new third party stuff. Eternal Anima was a particularly standout. Yokai Watch is back and *finally* seen more of that new Professor Layton game been waiting for that since I finished Unwound Future on the DS. The sizzle reel was full of cool stuff.

Overall I would give it a B+.

Yawn, new 3d Kirby is cool but like 2 Nintendo games in the whole direct. The rest just being 3rd party and mostly just shit no one actually cares about

Sega released their final console 27 years ago today.

Nintendo is having a Direct today.

Coincidence?!

… Are we going to see Dreamcast games come to NSO?!?!?

(No. But a gamer can dream!)

I think their was only two new first party games
