Figured it’d be nice to have a spot to talk about this. Link is to the upcoming direct on their channel.
People can also post articles after the fact, I don’t think our community is so active that I worry about clogging the feed. But we’ll see. I’m excited!
Ugh they really about to make us pay for all these upgrades lol
The upgraded versions better be free upgrades.
AN UPGRADE PACK, THE FUCK YOU MEAN?
How much does it cost, Nintendo. How much? JUST SAY HOW MUCH.
Rip lol
You have to pay for Welcome Tour?!
Yeah that’s so whack lmao
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I CALLED IT THAT SILKSONG WOULD BE ANNOUNCED AT SWITCH 2 KEYNOTE
Switch 2 will be MRSPed at a retail price of USD 450.
They added gps to Zelda lmao
This GameShare thing ruled on DS.
I was about to buy a steamdeck instead of the switch 2 tbh but mofos rlly had to whip out a fromsoft exclusive. Fuck.
a fromsoft exclusive.
Really!? Man I wouldn’t have expected that but they seem to be going downhill fast.
How is From going downhill?
120 FPS and a larger screen. WOnder what the hardware components are.
Maybe from some android tablet from 2021 /s
It’s not /s if it’s true…
Game Sharing seems pretty neat, actually.
It’s ds download play!
Bold choice to start with a FUCKING GAME instead of the system itself, but ok, fair enough, I guess.
At least they know that’s their selling point
What do you think the C-Button is for?
I hope it’s the Cum-Button.
If somebody could summarise it for me that would be great. I don’t really care enough to watch it myself, but I’ll want to be in the loop enough to know what people are talking about when they reference it.
If no one else does I’ll probably whip one up when it’s done. I’ll be up at 6am watching lol 😮💨
Skong for sure dropping tomorrow
Aged like the best of wines! 🤌
Beleiver leaking out
Overall I thought that was fantastic but I’m so confused at no price. No preorder date either
SILK SONG IS REALLLLLLLLLLL
2025!!!
Really sad that they never gave us WW HD but we get the older GameCube version on emulator :/
Switch 2 is adding basically adding DS download play. Share games for co-op with only one person having the game
New features showcase
C button time!
Looks like its a voice chat kind of button.
GameChat™️
So glad Nintendo is catching up with PC features from 20 years ago.
Kinda looks like built in discord voice chat UI. Though I doubt it’s discord
Mario Kart World is the new game!
Omg it’s Mario kart Forza horizons
Open world Mario Kart is one of the last new things you could do with the series. Otherwise, it’s just updated graphics and tracks.
Switch 2 launch title
I missed it live and I was curious, here’s the trailer
Am I the only one that felt like DK didn’t really feet right? The game looked good, but to me he stood out like a saw thumb even in the Mario Kart trailer. haha maybe I’m just an old man now but its odd because the link and Mario re designs have always been fine for me.
I’m not a fan. He looks weird
Donkey Kong Country’s Donkey Kong wasn’t actually the Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong. I kinda hope this redesign is gonna be justified by saying he’s a third one.
The donkey kong wer’e all familiar with is the third one. DK 1/Cranky is from Donkey Kong (the one with Jumpman/Mario). DK jr from Donkey Kong Jr. DK III is from Country onwards
No price???
So, that was a way more loaded direct then I though it would be. Absolutely stacked with the amount of games here for a new generation.
New 3D DK game
New from soft what the fuck
Stream fully frozen lmao
Oh shit the IOI James bond game
Oh no new details lol
Launches June 5th 2025
That’s crazy, I figured it would be another year off.
New game carts with faster data speeds
Pro controller with audio jack
New console needs microsd express cards

Quite disappointed with how they are now going for $90 (physical, $80 digital) games, the upgraded versions are paid DLCs and even the tech demo is a digital purchase.
The console looks good, but everything looks overpriced and that has kinda killed my interest.

I am very curious how they’re going to tackle regional pricing on games. $80 USD converts to $115 Canadian. No other console is pricing their games that way. At least not yet (thanks nintendo) But that would be a $25-35 increase compared to Ps5 and Xbox games.
For being a family console, it seems like a very weird decision when we’ve been hit with such bad inflation and wage stagnation in the past 5 years. I cannot see as families springing for a switch 2 as they did for the switch 1.
_Lory98_@discuss.tchncs.de 8 hours ago
I wonder if that’s why they’ve been more aggressive against emulators lately.
But yea, same for me: there’s very few games I’d spend that much money on, and I can’t imagine myself paying 80$ for something I don’t even know if I’ll like. I hope it doesn’t become the new standard.
chloyster@beehaw.org 21 hours ago
Yeah the pricing is wild. The console is a fine price, and I don’t mind the paid upgrades that add content. Other games are getting free upgrades they confirmed later.
But charging for the welcome tour is madness. And $80 digital for Mario kart is insane. At least dk is $70 digital so like I hope most games aren’t $80 but Jesus. And like $70 is a lot too don’t get me wrong but that’s what it’s been the past couple years so I’m not surprised at that number

The +$10 for physical games worries me they might be trying to push more people to digital games, to
