Good morning

The fact that Miyamoto and Iwata worked together on Pokémon Snap is still so cool to me

They sleep

Just noticed this injustice

Crazy how The World Ends With You is still one of the best games ever made

Stories 2 sold well but I don't hear people talk about it that much. Has the novelty of a traditional Monster Hunter RPG worn off?

1 and 2 aren't even on Switch lol

The upcoming Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Bros Wonder amiibos are on display at Yodobashi Camera! They keep getting bigger, and will be life-sized by 2050.

Sure, okay

The best things about Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness: - Miror B. - Miror B.'s battle theme - Miror B.'s dancing Ludicolo

Gonna tell my kids this was Smash Bros

Game-Key Disc

I think what's so great about the Switch 1 library (which many people will rediscover now) is that nearly everything you'd expect to be on there is on there. Classics from every generation of gaming from all publishers. Some heavy hitters took a while to show up but they all eventually got there.

Graphics are already good enough. *walks off stage*

Goes hard

Very few AAA games made me feel the way A Short Hike did. Game is less than 2 hours long and left such a huge lasting impact on me. Play it

Making Tangrowth the Pokémon professor was an inspired choice

Summed up my thoughts on Game-Key Cards as a long-time collector, having dealt with the concept for nearly a year. I like to think it's a balanced take, but it's easily the worst thing about the Switch 2.

pokemon are always doing shit like "Drowzee used Crazy Floor! Drowzee started getting funky" and it won't tell you what that means. top competitive strategies will revolve around getting funky.

What are they cooking with the Switch 2 box

This is about how much Mario Odyssey did in the same timeframe and that game ended up selling 30 million lol

Kenta Motokura (director) and Tatsuya Kurihara (lead programmer) on stage alongside Donkey Bananza amiibo

Key takeaway from the DK Bananza panel:

I got the coolest Mario Galaxy card on Nintendo Today, but screenshots aren't allowed so I can't show you. Too bad

Don't think there's one single reason for this, but multiple smaller factors adding up. High prices (Sonic CW is $90 for everything), expectation of definitive version (Metaphor), release timing (Sonic CW competing with MK, Shinobi with NG/indies), key cards, initial reception to P3R NS2, Kiwami 3

Haven't seen anyone post this yet: Here's the box art for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book may be the first $60-$65 Switch 2 exclusive game*? In Japan, it’s priced at ¥7980; that’s ¥1000 lower than Bananza, Air Riders, Tennis Fever, and Pokopia. *Not counting NS2 Edition titles, whose pricing is all over the place

People need to look at Nintendo Directs as the supplement, not the main attraction. The main attraction is game releases. When Nintendo has game releases, there's no need for a Direct. If we get to June without anything dated, then we can talk

Yoshi in May, as expected. Keeping the pace of at least one Nintendo release a month. The game looks great too

Nintendo films being an actual thing now is still wild to me. Really looking forward to the Galaxy movie

Pokémon is maybe the most popular game series to collect for. People want physical copies even when they're Key Cards. How do you underestimate demand this badly

Just played Pokopia for 5 hours. Fastest 5 hours of my life

They're besties

I wonder if sales of Ditto plushies are going up this weekend

All digital future

You know a Pokémon spinoff is serous business when they pull out the mainline music

The final boss.

the jump scare I received walking in here

Enhance

They won't say it yet, but it's happening.

I think this Kirby one is my favorite Air Riders amiibo yet actually. Didn't get the others but I might grab this

Crazy how the Crash series made a comeback, sold incredibly well, and then just disappeared again because Activision

Sakurai: I want amiibo. - Sure, we'll make one - Actually, I want six. - That's tough, but we'll make it work. - And I want each machine to be swappable. So technically 12.

I don’t recall this being reported? It appears that Bandai Namco Amusement Lab worked on some Nintendo Museum exhibits. Possibly due to NDA, the only disclosure is that they developed: Software of Shigureden, Zapper & Scope, Love Tester, Big Controller Hardware of Zapper & Scope, Love Tester

The game is only like 10 hours long btw. It's okay to have AAA games be that length.

Let's go
