Arceus isn’t a spinoff, it’s a main series game and developed by GameFreak

I don’t really know if I think it’s likely for them to make more Let’s Go games, Go is still popular but not really in the zeitgeist anymore so I don’t know if they would see much value in building a game around those mechanics (especially since those mechanics were not well received in LGPE). And chiptunes could…

I’m not sure what to think is likely for a reveal.

Their recent 2023 report shows that user acquisition isn’t a problem but converting those users into paying customers is.

unless you mean a 3D game

Fair, although the reason I want to see the new system is largely to see what games they have cooking for it, haha. This year is looking pretty slim for new first party Switch titles. I’m not expecting another Mario or Zelda or whatever for Switch if they were planning on launching the Switch 2 later this year. Seems…

Until a new Zelda/Mario/Metroid/I’m sure I’m missing some is announced who needs a switch 2?

Plus they’re within spitting distance of takimg the best selling consoles of all time position from PS2. Another year and a quarter of switch sales before the next console comes out will get them there (or damn close to it), and they can coast across that finish line with little to no worries, further cementing…

I would have also loved an Odyssey 2, but to be fair I think Galaxy 2 is the only time they’ve done that so it’s not that surprising to me. Unless I’m misremembering, SM64 was the only 3D Mario platformer on the N64 and Sunshine was the only 3D Mario platformer on the gamecube.

The article says that sources say it’s a software thing. And the hardware sales are still decent but it’s very obvious that they’re winding down game development for switch. If they had a good launch lineup ready for Switch 2, they’d put it out instead of waiting for interest to totally dry up.

Oof, best for them to make sure they have a strong lineup but if they’re holding it back because they don’t have a strong lineup then this year is certainly not going to have a strong lineup for the Switch. The most I’ll hope for from Nintendo this year (aside from Pokemon) is maybe Link’s Awakening style Oracle…

I spent 15-20 minutes fiddling with the book spines that have designs on them trying to make a coherent pattern. The solution had NOTHING to do with the pattern on the spines.

I can’t wait to play Metroid Prime 4 and Silksong on my Nintendo Switch 2, day 1

I find it odd how this surprises people.

Man, I have a few games on the PS5 (like 5?) but honestly feel like there’s been so little I care about on it. I feel like at this rate I’m going to end up owning fewer PS5 games than Wii U games. I think it’s the first console I might regret buying. I hope KH4 at least comes out on it.

This feels like the type of game I would play if Nintendo had a gamepass-style service of its own. I tried the demo and it seems fine but not the most interesting, especially not at a $50 price point.

They should instead make legally distinct knockoffs of the pals, that feels more fitting

Meanwhile the Splatoon 3 DLC was moved INTO February despite them previously saying spring 2024 was the earliest it might come out.

I don’t think it’s a huge deal or anything but I do feel like it’s more jarring than just like... sparkles/glow on a ledge or something. If developers have good in-universe way to direct your attention to interactive elements, that’s great, but I wouldn’t call the yellow paint a “good” way to do that. If I see a…

Didn’t they already do the crunchwrap with a big cheez it? Was that just a limited release or something?
