@LukeAlmighty people can just go to the nintendo youtube channel lol

@erandis_vol yeah for bigger games i usually wait unless it's something i'm super into. switch 2 is gonna have a lot of that ;_;

@icedquinn @xianc78 well that was where you had been, not where you're going xD

@pettanko he's shaped like a friend

@xianc78 the microSD card thing isn't proprietary or anything, it's just that it needs the card to be faster. there were actually problems when modding games on the switch with this, if you were modding smash back in the day when you had to load the game off the SD card you had to have a really fast one otherwise it would legitimately take like 5 minutes to load a single match.

"marginally better graphics" is a bit of an understatement. we'd be lucky if metroid prime 4 was 1080p30 on the standard switch and actually maintained that, but they're saying switch 2 is going to have 4k60 and 1080p120 modes. if they can actually hit those targets i would say that is a substantial improvement from the original switch. maybe you're thinking that it was marginally better graphics because they just upgraded the handheld screen from 720p to 1080p?

there are actually a lot of games that don't require payment for the enhancements. they're up on the website. i think they probably just wanted to showcase the ones that actually had the most substantial stuff. i'm definitely not paying for GPS navigation in zelda though lmao. the kirby DLC looks fun though i'll probably pick that up. that's a really fun game.

look at this lil guy

hungrybox: the "rs" in "air riders" stands for "real shit"

@sendpaws i have no idea tbh, it seems like there is a free ride mode and then also modes where you play a bunch of courses and then have to actually drive to the next course so that's part of the race too.

wa

mario kart 9 with grinding, wall-riding, planes, boats, that's sick. i'm a little bit worried about it being open world because open world is kind of a scourge on gaming BUT it can still be done well.

@icedquinn oh yeah for sure! that's always been the way to get a lot of great games without paying out the ass.

back in the day, games were expensive to the point where you parents would get you one game for your birthday and one game for Christmas. maybe your one rich uncle would have a lot of games at his house so you'd go over there to play them.

i am pretty sure we are going back to those days.

@Kagekokoro i don't really get into 3d metroid and not really into fromsoft games but they do look really good

oh fuck off

oh yeah, there's some new kirby forgotten land dlc too and i really like that game, a lot, so i'll probably get that

bundle with mk9 is $500 so imma buy that. little steep.... but i definitely wanna play that game. definitely wanna play air riders.

it's got a 1080p120hz screen, and has 4k output. hopefully there are enough games that actually utilize that. metroid prime 4 does have a 120fps 1080p mode and 4k60 mode so that's pretty cool.

mario kart world, donkey kong bananza, and kirby air riders all look awesome. i've been waiting for a new kirby air ride for a very long time so i'm glad to see that finally coming. also a new FAST game, big fan of that franchise. gamecube nso is cool, but don't wanna pay a subscription for it.

june 5th is a crazy day to release, that's really soon. two months away!

lot of complete slop in that direct though, like who the FUCK wants the camera? a dedicated chat button? how much are the game upgrades?

i wish it was a lot more tight for a first presentation of this console.
