Everyone stop what you're doing! It's happening! GW's own Alu is having a baby!! Come and congratulate him here: Need some help identifying this picture.
We're so happy for you, Alu!There's a leak from a few months ago that suggests that Switch 2 will have an app called Campus which will incorporate voice and group chat features.C for Chat? I can't see it being a new operational button for games, but rather something that deals with the system itself? Unless this will call back to a gamecube type thing, maybe hold the C button and the D-buttons become C-buttons instead?
Would it make much difference given there are upgrades available that require the existing Switch cartridge?OMG, they made a GPS and trip guide for Zelda...
Also, rereleases of both Zelda games mean the current copies are going to become stupid cheap. The Wii U version of Breath of the Wild is going to end up being sold for as cheap as sports games do.
And Mario Kart World is $80.
Thanks Nintendo!
The console with the bundle is $50 extra - the game is otherwise $80.Mario Kart does look great, but unless I suddenly get a group of folks to play it with, it's not for me. I don't care for online stuff, and I never really even finished everything in the last one. So pass, though it does look intriguing. If it's bundled in, maybe I'll own it regardless.
I wonder if they'll be variably priced. I notice that the two Zelda ones are included in the Switch Online + Expansion tier, but the others are not. And with Super Mario Jamboree they did show off some significant new features. But again, this is Nintendo!Oh yeah, the upgrade for the Switch 2 versions. If they want more than $10 for the upgrades then I'm out. That is unless they also tell me upfront that there's also new content there to justify it. I don't want to be complicit to an era of backwards com-pay-tible games.
I couldn't believe that this game wasn't a free digital pack-in title.Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour
what the nintendo doin
I mean, Nintendo Land wasn't for the Wii U and it was a pretty solid thing. Just as long as it doesn't have a huge price tag it's fine. It seems to be a similar deal to it though to being a solid tech demo with Nintendo polish and whatever supposed easter eggs in there.I couldn't believe that this game wasn't a free digital pack-in title.

the lack of OLED is also why I think 450 is kinda whack. If it's only a marginal upgrade, why is the price not a marginal increase?lol...no OLED
it's so blatant they are saving that for later
Is it marginal though? Nintendo didn't mention performance much which is what I expected, but mentioning targeting 4K/60 docked for Metroid Prime is pretty significant.the lack of OLED is also why I think 450 is kinda whack. If it's only a marginal upgrade, why is the price not a marginal increase?
If it's supposedly just as powerful as a PS4, I consider that marginal or at least not enough to justify the price. The dock could just be an upscaler for all we know. 120FPS is not worth the massive price increase.Is it marginal though?

The screen issue sucks even as it's something I expected, but at least they've gone for 120FPS.
i don't think the next gen updates are going to be as common as people think they're going to be. they didn't announce anything for SUPER SMASH BROS. and while i enjoyed some of my time with princess peach showtime it is not substantial enough of a game to justify an update.So, real question: What Switch games do you think they'll give a "next gen" update to?
I'd be cool with a Diablo 3 and Princess Peach Showtime updates that improve framerates. Maybe give A Hat in Time an update that improves its graphics to match the PC version.
I wonder if they give Metroid Prime Remastered a boost of some sort.
I bet Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition gets an update as well, seeing as it just released.
pretty sure their policy at this point is letting individual games choose whether or not to have those types of things and not have them connected to accounts or anythingAlso, I presume they didn't mention any trophies/achievements coming for Switch? I'm surprised they haven't adopted that yet.
It's a mobile device though. Compared to Switch it looks night and day better. The device is the same thickness but the addition of active cooling to the dock should boost performance in docked mode, where the Switch is most lacking. If you're not interested in the mobile side then fair enough, but even through the degraded quality of YouTube streaming it looks massively improved.If it's supposedly just as powerful as a PS4, I consider that marginal or at least not enough to justify the price. The dock could just be an upscaler for all we know. 120FPS is not worth the massive price increase.
If Elden Ring is only running at 30FPS like it seemed from the direct, I do not think this thing has 450 dollars worth of tech.
It's also worth noting that the S2 is the exact same size when it comes to thickness, either. There isn't much room to squeeze power and cooling in there.
I'd like to remind everyone that SNES games used to cost 70 dollars, which is ~150 bucks in today's money.
Games have been cheaper than they used to be for a very long time. And considering how much money companies spend on some games (like GTA VI), we should be very grateful that they haven't adjust game prices with inflation.
i’ve already seen it getting called Red Faction Gorilla. i wish i liked the new look for DK better than i do, but i can’t lie the destructible terrain gameplay looked pretty crispOf everything I saw, DK Bananza was the most interesting. It seems like it could scratch that destructible terrain itch that the original Red Faction did. For some reason burrowing through the ground brings me joy.
Omg, that's perfect.i’ve already seen it getting called Red Faction Gorilla. i wish i liked the new look for DK better than i do, but i can’t lie the destructible terrain gameplay looked pretty crisp
What the fuck JapanJapan is getting a region and language locked version for ¥49,980, which was about $335
Nintendo of America is fucking us for no reason.Also Nintendo's live stream is full of "drop the price" comments.
Japan is getting a region and language locked version for ¥49,980, which was about $335 (now $342 as Trump tanks the dollar).
