Nintendo Switch 2 Thread
Not a bad direct outside Nintendo trying to sell us the Virtual Boy accessory. It could have been worse.

The Virtual Boy Virtual Console kind of pisses me off because the 3DD was the perfect place to release those games but because they waited so long, now you need a overpriced piece of plastic or cardboard box to play those games.

They did DK64 island dlc, but they didn't put DK64 on the classics service.

Christ, Nintendo is dogshit.

Why the fuck they are still going full snail pace with the virtual console?

What a fantastic direct. Surprised Nintendo got the scoop on New Resident Evil stuff. 

Also everything is hinting towards Super Mario Galaxy 3 being the big new Switch 2 3D Mario game. 
We're getting Fire Emblem but we haven't even scratched the surface of Nintendo's best stuff like Zelda and Xenoblade. And third parties are also pulling their weight. Switch 2 has been kind of slow for me but I can tell it's really going to pick up steam now.

There will be a lot of games coming between now and Christmas. 

Galaxy 2 is a nice surprise. 

They don't seem to have a lot of faith in Prime 4.

Fire Emblem is anime trash.

I wonder if the Virtual Boy will work with the Labo cardboard headset?

They're insane for finishing Prime 4. That's going to sell 500 copies in between all the Marios.  lol

Making it part an open world/bike/action game is probably an attempt to increase its appeal.

I forgot that Nintendo games don’t drop in price. Zelda Echos is still full price. Kirby is $80 because it includes DLC. 

I don’t know if retail chains have Black Friday holiday sales like they used to.

I think Prime 4 has potential to shock people. The open world stuff looks shit on paper but what if it's like, I dunno, a metroid with ocarina of time style areas that are littered with mini metroid dungeons like breath of the wild? If you just took the good bits of the prime games, broke them and scattered them around a world you'd have a 50 hour game anyway.

The art looks great but the graphics are certainly Switch level and not Switch 2 level.

Overall I don't know what to expect. Sylux is like a multiplayer character from Metroid Prime Hunters(?). Samus on a bike?

It looks cool but it could also suck is how I feel about it.

Not following the discourse but I assume the concerns come from it potentially being like Arkham Knight. Where Arkham Asylum was Metroid Prime. Arkham City was Zelda with its open map and dungeons. And then Arkham Knight had a lot of busywork with the car to pad out the game time, while the levels and dungeons got less interesting.

Just release some marketing materials with zero suit Samus straddling that bike. Go for the gooner market.

That'll probably sell some copies.

Metroid Prime 4 looks sick

That seems to be the case, I could see a lot of BOTW/TOTK fans giving Prime 4 a shot after seeing its open world gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if the open world design was heavily encouraged by the upper brass at Nintendo when they restarted development at Retro Studios.

Finally finished Donkey Kong. 

Haven't 100% it and I still might go back, but man what a good game. 

I may jump into Galaxy now, but Prime 4 can't come soon enough.

I was checking games I want to buy but haven't had the time:

- Donkey Kong
- Final Fantasy Tactics
- Trails of the Sky 1st
- Sonic & Shadow Generations
- Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2
- Bravely Default
- Kirby and the Forgotten World
- Suikoden I + II
- Fast Fusion
- Hades II

but shit's expensive and work is so busy 

Maybe I need to go back to writing reviews for the Nintendo site.
Just use AI to write that shit but get the free games. Trumps
