    Friendly reminder that the piracy of Nintendo games is not only always morally correct, but more importantly, it’s obligatory.

      To add to this… game boy, gameboy color, and gameboy advance libraries all fit on a single 32GB SD card

        While this is true I would recommend choosing just a few of your favourite games from each console, in which case you can probably fit your all time fav games from every Nintendo console on a 256gb SD card, and probably a 32GB for all you faves pre Wii.

        As someone who has an overwhelmingly large ROM library, I often find I have nothing to play because my library is too large.

    I am once again asking for Metroid Prime 4 and a release date for Silksong.

    • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Silksong has already had some kind of deal with Microsoft in place, so if it shows up on a platform holder’s stream rather than their own thing, it’s more likely they show up with Microsoft than Nintendo. Given that it got content rated already, it’s still due for a release this year, so maybe we hear about it with Gamescom.

        Does it? The last time the game was shown was in a Nintendo event 5 years ago.

      Nintendo execs: No.

      Even if they give a release date for silksong I doubt its gonna be released at the said date given their track record.

    This is the Direct where they announce Twilight Princess and Wind Waker for the Switch. I can feel it! I wish they would, but I’m not holding my breath.

      There have been rumors of a 2D Zelda too, so I have a feeling we see Zelda in this direct in some form.

      source
      • Stereotype_Be@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah, if I remember correctly they’ve said they’ve been working on or have completed a remastered Oracle of Ages/Seasons in the style of Link’s Awakening.

      I waited for years for them to release them on the switch and I finally just emulated them on the steam deck. Not sure why Nintendo doesn’t want my money

      WindWaker feels very possible, there was already a remake for Wii U. Not sure why they never ported it over.

      source

        I have WW and TP on Wii U, but I rarely play my Wii U.

        It was a remaster

    Inb4 GameCube games on the switch 8 years too late

    The more I hear that they won’t announce the Switch 2 the more I think they will.

    source
    • cheddar@programming.dev ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, that is exactly what somebody who is planning to announce Switch 2 would say.

      source
  • LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Eh, if there’s no announcement, I can’t be bothered. As of late, the Switch has been showing its age to me. I don’t want to buy games for out of date hardware; I will play the games that I own, but not buy another game until Nintendo gets vastly improved hardware out there.

    source
    • technomad@slrpnk.net ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You think they’re going to vastly improve it though? My impression is they’ll do some kind of gimmick again. I could be wrong though.

      source
      • LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Honestly, I accept something much better but not a massive upgrade. The thing enough power under the hood to make it easier for devs to port their games. Making the Switch an attractive choice and for games to run smoothly on their handheld/console. I would prefer Nintendo bring back home consoles, as it would be easier to make a strong performer.

        My hope is that they make a true contender, however, this might not be Nintendo’s plan. They very well may choose to make another gimmick; perhaps Nintendo will refine a gimmick this time with their next hardware release?

        source
    • cheddar@programming.dev ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I doubt they will. Ninendo is not fighting with PS and Xbox, and it surely has no reason to fight with Steam Deck and other powerful portables. They found their market, and they are extremely successful at what they are doing. One does not need super hardware to create wonderful games.

    ResetERA…no thanks.

      Ehh, I know it’s not the original source, but I saw it there. Then it was either link to that or Twitter.
