My sources are telling me the next Smash Bros. got cancelled after Sakurai saw the new Star Fox designs

So, in the Star Fox Direct Who is William?

Admitting that the new pricing may increase “barrier” to purchase, Furukawa has an answer: more Nintendo games. “We will prepare a robust software lineup to enhance the Switch 2 ownership value. We will work diligently to overcome this barrier.” As is customary for a Japanese CEO, he added: … 1/

Finished Pragmata. Solid 8/10. Enjoyed the multitasking gameplay. Reminded me a bit of The World Ends With You

Been focusing on my strategy guide collection lately. Not trying to build a massive library, just some of my favorites. I have weird nostalgia for Prima guides with the red bar on top

[Console Sales Data] Due to the upcoming price increases and strong demand at launch, Nintendo expects to sell fewer Switch 2s over the next year vs. last year. However, this pace should still exceed Switch 1's first 2 years. FY26: 19.86 million FY27 (forecast): 16.50 million

Most expected (and accepted) price hike in history lol

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?

The leak was a shame, but Star Fox being announced in a surprise Direct for release a month later with merch and Music drops ready to go is Nintendo at their best

Notice how pigs are always evil in Nintendo games

Unless this is pre-release trickery, Steins;Gate Reboot seems to not be a Game-Key Card on Switch 2

The whole time during the Star Fox Direct I kept thinking "why do they look like that", then Koizumi showed the camera emote thing and then it's like oh yeah that makes sense, not sure I agree but that makes sense

It's always nice to see big publishers make a serious effort to boost their underdog series. It worked out for Pikmin and I have high hopes it will work out for Star Fox

So. Fox of the Star. It's 64 again, but I don't mind since it seems like a new beginning for the series, and it makes sense to introduce people to this story first. I think it will actually work out this time. The look of the characters... Bold, to say the least. June 25th is crazy. I'll be there

Can someone make a really good Powerpuff Girls video game please

What's the best video game soundtrack of all time? Don't overthink it, first instinct

Bring back the ancient knowledge

Don't buy the BoxBoy amiibo on eBay. Hold.

I've seen at least 4 "are Nintendo Directs over?" videos in the last month or so There was a Direct in February and there will probably be one in June. Nothing about this schedule is unusual

Ghost Trick is one of the games on Nintendo's Golden Week sale, and it's only $10! It's one of the most interesting stories I've ever experienced in a game, translated very well from the DS to Switch. I can't recommend it enough. At least give the demo a shot! 👏

The Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system

2028 is cool, if true. Seems like we could be getting a Nintendo movie every year which would be a pretty nice annual thing to look forward to

I feel that Modern Sonic, more so than most characters, just looks so much better in 2D art. He was introduced in Sonic Adventure 1/2 and that's where he peaked

Still waiting on Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio etc. As it stands right now, this doesn't feel like it amounts to much other than "look at our IP graveyard, isn't it nice?"

What is the happiest video game of all time?

Remember, kids: The plural of Chao is Chao. It's not Chaos. Very important distinction

Pokopia and Tomodachi Life releasing back-to-back as potential 10+ million sellers each makes you question why more major publishers aren't investing in this genre and are letting Nintendo/indies taking the entire pie

Original box art was better and game was on disc #lame #oldisgold

If you're not playing Pragmata with gyro on you're missing out. Smooth as heck

The backstory was created with Koizumi. It's not just something Miyamoto came up with. Obviously it's going to stay

“aura” is the yellow thing around Goku when he is Super Saiyan. i reject the modern definition

Splatoon 3's campaign is some of the best single-player content Nintendo made on Switch. And Octo Expansion. All killer no filler. It's a bit sad to hear people say they're finally interested in trying Splatoon because it's single-player focused. It's had quality single-player this entire time.

Considering trying out Yooka-Replaylee. Heard mixed things but mostly good

Two Nintendo releases in July and still nothing for June. I see you, Ninty

The code Capcom has cracked is that they realized AAA games don't need to be 50 hours long. You can make great 12-hour games at a frequent pace and people will buy them.

On this day, 4/20, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, Path of Radiance, and Shadows of Valentia released. Also it's Lucina's birthday.

it's sooo endearing. every game ive played that people have called a dad game is always, like, "having a child is a burden unlike no other and these challenges teaches me they are human just like me" pragmata is nonstop "oh a kid is an endless font of surprises, new experiences, and joy"

I have a take I don't care how good the game is, video games are too diverse for one game to win every award

One of the most overlooked victories in the last few years is getting all these games localized with physical releases. A far cry from the 3DS where even the ones that did get localized were digital-only and eventually delisted

Will Star Fox be in this one

Many outlets still consider Mario 3 and World the peak of 2D Mario, consistently topping lists. But how accurate is that actually? People who grew up on NSMB games are now adults, and anecdotally many prefer them to the classics. It may sound insane to older online communities, but is it less valid?

I bet at least one important person at Koei Tecmo was pissed when Capcom, Sega, Bandai Namco, and Konami all got multiple Smash characters while they didn't get a single one

Nintendo devs while the industry is imploding: "We spent a decade making this funny Mii game and it was amazing"

Pretty wild how both Animal Crossing and Pikmin released in 2001. Maybe not a good time for their home console business, but a great time for creativity
