@JuiceMan_V I mean the moment you see an animation switch suddenly in any game you get reminded that it IS first and foremost a video game. And that goes for all your “cinematic” ones that use a whole bunch of unnecessary CPU cycles in an attempt to mitigate this.

@JuiceMan_V Ummm, last I checked ALL of these games were video games. I swear I think part of the attacks against Nintendo at times stems from the fact that they still see themselves as making video games instead of it being this grand art that they think it is and should be.

The ToTK discourse on this app needs to be put out it's misery after this shit.

@BleuSpheres I just genuinely hated the gimmick in TotK. It felt too much like a videogame and it made it hard to immerse. There was a lot good and fun about TotK and I don't regret playing it but it's definitely below BotW for me, and it's not close.

@JuiceMan_V Star Fox remake is good, because it's not being internally developed and restarting the franchise with it's strongest game is a good idea. Zelda has never really floundered like SF, so remaking the most beloved game seems strange and unless it to is outsourced. Its just a waste

@JuiceMan_V That art direction is literally the vision of the original game if these folks actually paid any attention. Of course this wasn’t doable back then, but since it is now, they’re clearly gunning for this. It’s about time IMO. Star Fox was always meant to be a visual showcase.

@JuiceMan_V What the fuck are these people just not getting? Did they really think the file size was going to stay the same at that resolution? It almost NEVER does, and if it did they’d be complaining that there was no fidelity improvements. I swear this fanbase continues to disappoint.

@JuiceMan_V People not respecting where stuff came from like this is why you have so many people like this talking absolute nonsense. Super Metroid at that time was one of the most unique and tightest feeling experiences on the system. Slandering this tells me you ain’t played it.

@JuiceMan_V The biggest DUH statement ever. I’ve been saying since day one of the system to NOT expect the same level of certain output simply because what people are going to expect from them now is going to take much longer to produce than ever before. Those games will happen in TIME.

@ShadowFoxArche All I saw with this last Direct is that I don’t really need ANYTHING else. I feel covered in all the major ways I’ve ever wanted from the platform. And this is before the inevitable Mario and Zelda announcement. And I think this scares the SHIT outta people.

@Drtre81 Man this is one of the biggest glow ups for the series I’ve ever seen. I’m not even the biggest OoT fan in the world but I’m even interested in this now.

@wichol559 @Drtre81 $23.99 on discount. I’m assuming if you got TR Definitive Edition, this is where the discount came from much like with that game and the 1-3 remasters.

@Drtre81 At that price it’ll be an automatic purchase. That’s a great game.

@DYJTGMBMPSNA @Lucky_ssb_ This isn’t anywhere CLOSE to the WiiU era. A lot of y’all just sound mad that you are NOT being exclusively catered to with these announcements.

Everybody says it all the time, but THAT was the worst direct of all time. Tired of over half it being games that were already announced, no gameplay of games that matter, and ultimately just nothing for the average person to go and buy a switch 2

@Lucky_ssb_ @2Vynmouz You understand the reason you got all of that was because the WiiU was essentially abandoned and that most of its games were likely moved from there to Switch. No crap it would have a lot of that stuff. But also none of that was asking for PS4 plus performance either.

@2Vynmouz I'm not a super fan of all of these games, but I can respect that the lineup was strong and there was a REASON to buy a Switch at the time

@ChronoKatie Brand new games take TIME to make. A new 3D Mario and Zelda is simply not ready to show yet. This is the reality. This is not the era of lower tech game development anymore, and I don’t think a lot of you realize this. There is NO PS4 equivalent Nintendo past console to tap.

While I understand of course that Switch 2 is playing catch up, I do think it’s time we start having a talk about Nintendo’s over-reliance on ports and remakes.

@GeorgeOD_ New games take time to make, especially with the tech you folks are clearly going to want in it. That new Mario ain’t ready to show and neither is the newer Zelda. You guys are just gonna have to deal with this.

@JuiceMan_V Don’t say nothing, let them eventually destroy all these smaller companies and make the industry so toxic most will never even think of entering let alone make a video game.

@anarchyKaos666 It’s a Yoshi game and they made it VERY clear what it was in the first place. Just like they did with many of the other titles of its kind. It is NOT a main title. If you viewed it like it was supposed to be some major big game that’s your fault.

#NintendoSwitch2 #YoshiAndTheMysteriousBook Rolled credits on this one. Wow. That was bad. I thought I was getting a good deal getting the physical at $60, but this should have been $30 at best. Now I'm truly scared for Nintendo. First their business makes several mistakes with the Switch 2 hardware and it's launch. Now their dev teams have lost it. I feel like this game was unfinished and they just pushed it out cause they didn't have shit else. All the talent there is making movies now. 😔

@JuiceMan_V To put this another way, it wasn’t BoTW that sold me on Switch 1. That was coming regardless, and you’d expect that. It was Ultra Street Fighter 2 that told me something shifted vs. say the WiiU. THAT got me aboard. THAT brought me to Best Buy to get the game and system.

Believe it or not, there's Nintendo fans that play more than Nintendo games where a Nintendo platform getting third party games keeps them solely on a Nintendo platform.
AussieGamer@AussieGamr

Everyone’s acting like Call of Duty on Switch 2 is a massive victory Nintendo fans have been waiting for. But what if most of them never actually wanted it? The announcement has been framed as an obvious win. More third-party games, bigger audience, platform finally getting “serious” titles. Yet I keep coming back to a simpler question that feels strangely absent: Do most actual Nintendo fans even want Call of Duty? When I look at what already delivers incredible multiplayer on this platform, I’m not convinced the gap was that big. Splatoon 3 has been running meaningful seasons and Splatfests for years. It’s competitive, creative, and social without ever feeling like a second job. Mario Kart has been quietly destroying friendships and creating family memories for decades, and it does it with items that let anyone have a chance. Nintendo Switch Sports turned living rooms into bowling alleys and tennis courts again. Smash Bros still fills arenas with chaos that works whether you’re a hardcore player or someone who just picked up a controller. These are genuinely excellent multiplayer experiences that understand something important: most people playing on Nintendo hardware want to play with other people, not necessarily against strangers in a hyper-competitive environment with meta loadouts and voice chat toxicity. Nintendo has spent years refining multiplayer that lowers the barrier instead of raising it. You can hand a Joy-Con to almost anyone and have fun in five minutes. That’s not an accident. It’s the entire design philosophy. Call of Duty brings a very specific flavor of multiplayer — one built around progression systems, constant balance patches, and a live-service loop that rewards grinding and keeping up. Some people love that. A lot of Nintendo households have historically treated that style of game as “the other console’s thing.” I’m not saying CoD will fail or that nobody wants it. Some Switch owners absolutely will. But I wonder how many core Nintendo fans were actually craving it versus how many people outside the ecosystem assumed they should want it. The Switch has thrived by being extremely good at the kind of multiplayer most people actually play in real life: Couch co-op. Local play. Low-stakes online with friends. Events that feel like events rather than obligations. Adding CoD doesn’t automatically improve that. It just adds another flavor. So I’m genuinely curious: What’s the multiplayer experience on Switch (or that you hope comes to Switch 2) that actually got your friends or family who don’t normally game sitting down to play? And when you picture playing Call of Duty on Switch 2… does it feel like it fits naturally into that same living room, or does it feel like it belongs to a different category of gaming entirely? Am I overthinking this, or has a decent chunk of the Nintendo audience been perfectly content with the multiplayer identity the platform already built?
