I’m pretty hype about Duskbloods ngl. I was lukewarm on the intiial announcement, but then Nightreign became one of my favorite things and I’m looking forward to it affirming my decision to buy the Switch 2 lol

I am still trying to wrap my mind around Splatoon Raiders and whether it’s something I’m interested in. Love me some Splatoon and have logged hundreds of hours across 2 & 3, but am not sure if a single-player-focused Splatoon is a compelling idea to me.

I think it sucks that Nintendo is being so reserved in their Joycon 2 colors. Come on, man. You can do better than this for fucking Splatoon.

If Ocarina of Time is a straight remake, honestly, I’m gonna be pretty uninterested. This is one where I’d genuinely like to see them try some weird stuff. But it’s Nintendo, so it’s probably a glorified graphics pack on a 60fps mod. That said, the jankiness of the 20fps original is unplayable to my partner who really wanted to give it a shot, so maybe it’s a good thing. Still wack Nintendo hasn’t brought the two Zelda ports from the Wii U over.

I’m curious about this DK Challenge thing.

Super Mario Bros. 35 was one of the most fun things I had on the Switch and I wish they’d bring it back.

Oh wow. When I googled Devon Pritchard, one of the first results was a YouTube video of a guy with a bunch of Nintendo artwork in the background doing right wing commentator mannerisms, talking about how Nintendo is woke and ruined.

I didn’t know this type of guy existed.

Skipped through bits of Starfox gameplay from the treehouse segment out of morbid curiosity. Peppy’s new voice actor sounds like Travis McElroy. First boss lieutenant Granga has gone from sounding like a campy theatre actor to one of the teenagers from a Persona game. One of the establishing shots in the newly added opening cutscene is just that opening shot from Star Wars, complete with John Williamsy sounding score. I’m so tired…

my mine gripe with the Star Fox demonstration was that the presenter was so bad at the game :#

Slippy looks like SHIT what did they do to SLIPPY

The first thing I did on watching this was rip the announcer saying ā€œslippy toadā€ and added it to my discord soundboard

The last time they showed Kingdom hearts IV was 4 years ago, and they showed the same characters in the same area. This game is never coming out.

Best as I know the best ā€œofficialā€ version is the PS5 having RTX features and Dark Knight Mode where they boost the enemies on screen. PC version still does not have this unless you run mods and they are pretty extensive to adjust some weapon features and completely customizing encounter variables.

there’s a dedicated puppet youtuber for Nintendo and he’s one of the more prominent Nintendo content creators and you’re shocked that there’s also a chud-centric Nintendo youtuber?

I didn’t know any of this.

dang, i hope arlo doesnt turn out to be shady

Slightly longer trailer that lingers on our cast before forgetting about them and bathing in nostalgia syrup

Edit: Oh wait it’s the same as the one I linked before but the direct had a really short shit trailer that was in a rush to show Cloud.

I feel like they should’ve just leaned into it, cut the guest characters, and called it FF17

Like, why stick with the HD 2D pixel art style? Just draw high-res pretty 2D animation frames.

I recognize that ā€œjustā€ isn’t as easy as flipping a light switch, but also, looking at this trailer, this feels like designs/art that have been crammed into a 2D framework when they absolutely do not have to be doing that.

p sure the only thing Arlo is guilty of is the occasional bad take, being sales brained and hyper-focusing on things they think would be the best for Nintendo to make

you really need to remove yourself from the equation if you’re going to be the arbiter of objectivity

besides we all know Nintendo should be making a new F-Zero game and

I have no experience with the various FF games Squenix has birthed and subsequently murdered because they’re bad at running services but I’m almost certain Resonance is just an asset flip of work done on Brave Exvius, mostly because the idea isn’t new and that’s pretty much what Octopath Traveler 0 was
