Anyone want to summarize the Nintendo Direct for me
@wallhackio small number of launch titles announced: new mario kart, donkey kong, kirby air ride, fromsoft game; there will be gamecube nintendo switch online; you can buy upgrades to existing games to enhance them for switch 2; built in game chat and streaming support; they're bringing back a form of download play; games are $80 and console is $450
@wallhackio @Lady totk was a test run fur increased purrices, huh
@Lady @wallhackio also its just plain grey instead of having nice joycon colors 😔
@Satsuma @Lady @wallhackio good reason not to buy on launch day
@Lady @aescling @wallhackio the og switch debuted with red and blue instead of fascist gray!!! why is nintendo full of cowards now!!!!!
@Satsuma @aescling @wallhackio babe we already had this conversation most nintendo consoles debut in black
@aescling @wallhackio @Lady but the switch was cute 😫
@aescling @Satsuma @wallhackio wait for the let’s go, pikachu and eevee! edition
@Lady @wallhackio is sakurai heading the new air ride or did they hand it off to somebody else
@aescling @wallhackio sakurai and HAL
@Lady @wallhackio so is THAT the new purroject sakurai was teasing at the end of his video series then
🐊
@Lady @wallhackio EIGHTY????
@coriander @wallhackio this is correct coriander a video game from nintendo costs the same amount now as the introductory price of the game boy color handheld console
@Lady @wallhackio Like, I understand inflation is a thing and all but companies have had a hard enough time selling people on 70 bucks for games, how is Nintendo planning to get away with a twenty-dollar hike??
@coriander @wallhackio i regret to inform that the bureau of labor statistics thinks $60 in 2017 dollars is $78.59 in 2025 dollars
@coriander @wallhackio but the answer is that they're mostly still releasing switch 1 games and having a $20 upgrade for the switch 2 version if you’re rich
@coriander @wallhackio like metroid prime 4, pokémon legends z-a, etc are all still targeting the original switch with an upgrade for better features and graphics if you buy the switch 2 version
@Lady @wallhackio So much like a PS5, there's not much actual reason to buy a Switch 2
@coriander @wallhackio not in the first year at least
@coriander @wallhackio there will be a reason eventually due to the whole controllers are mice thing
one good thing is they're bringing back download multiplayer so only one person needs the game to do multiplayer on multiple consoles
@coriander @wallhackio you can even receive download games on the original switch; only the sharer needs a switch 2
@Lady @wallhackio oh god is the gamecube emulation going to suck Ass
@aescling @wallhackio idk but wind waker is a launch title
@aescling @wallhackio oh fuck they've confirmed fire emblem path of radiance and pokémon colosseum & xd gale of darkness for future release
@Lady this sounds pretty great honestly, aside from the prices
