Nintendo Switch 2 Direct starting now

RSL Microsoft Edge fan

Apr 2, 7:01am

starting off way strong with Mario Kart World

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:03am

Started with MarioKartWorld, likely a launch release

RSL

Apr 2, 7:03am

Wow, MarioKart World looks incredible!

Apr 2, 7:04am

Open world, with old school modes as well. Fun. "Drive anywhere"

RSL

Apr 2, 7:05am

Love the moving around and racing with tons of people and dropping out if you

Apr 2, 7:07am

it looks absolutely nuts, I love it

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:06am

If it doesn't have Koopa Troopa derivatives as 25% of the playable characters

Gamechat. About freaking time

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:08am

C button for chat. Haha.

Apr 2, 7:08am

Welcome to the 21st century Nintendo.

Jay_L

Apr 2, 7:20am

Wow, a chat feature that the Playstation and XBox have had for at least two generations!

RSL

Apr 2, 7:08am

Was that a Pikmin sneak peek?

RSL

Apr 2, 7:09am

PIkmin 4. Switch game. Already out.

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:10am

Can't wait to get some CBers together to take pictures of our Mariokart characters in cool poses

RSL

Apr 2, 7:10am

I have been wanting to see the faces of the psychos I play against. Great feature!

RSL

Apr 2, 7:11am

I'm interested how well it works. Concept it awesome though.

Apr 2, 7:12am

Gameshare. Nice.

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:13am

1080p, 120 fps. I thought they'd go 4k. bummer.

RSL

Apr 2, 7:14am

that's undocked. Docked, it does have 4k resolution

RSL

Apr 2, 7:17am

8x internal storage. Thats huge.

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:17am

256 Gigs. Likely because games will be larger

RSL

Apr 2, 7:17am

exclusive nintendo games were never the problem, its the AAA games with massive

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:20am

Totally.

RSL

Apr 2, 7:21am

Paid digital game (Switch tour)? lol. Just make it come with the system

RSL

Apr 2, 7:20am

yeah thats kind stupid.

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:21am

Yay, a new Pro Controller!

RSL

Apr 2, 7:22am

June 5th is so soon

RSL

Apr 2, 7:22am

June 5th? Dang thats soon.

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:22am

Purchasing upgrade packs.....at least it wont be a full-price rebuy

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:26am

Still lame. Other platforms just upgraded games for free. Not all but still.

Jay_L

Apr 2, 7:31am

its got new content though, so its like buying DLC

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:33am

Again other games even with new content have provided free upgrades.

Jay_L

Apr 2, 7:54am

Seems like games are super light on release. Only one real new game?

RSL

Apr 2, 7:26am

Ah, Metroid Prime 4. Forgot. Is this a launch game though?

RSL

Apr 2, 7:28am

dual-release with regular switch

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:29am

Drag and Drive....a Rocket-league competitor? interesting

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:30am

Um. Wheelchair Rocket League?

RSL

Apr 2, 7:30am

Was thinking the same. LOL.

Apr 2, 7:31am

Elden Ring on Switch 2. Ha

RSL

Apr 2, 7:31am

Tarnished Edition?

RSL

Apr 2, 7:32am

Probably includes the dlc

Jay_L

Apr 2, 8:03am

big reel of games that are old but could never run on Switch haha

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:34am

+ games that must be popular in Japan because wtlfreak

RSL

Apr 2, 7:38am

Making the launch day game library large at least.

Apr 2, 7:38am

Will the EA games compatible on switch include College Football?? Didn’t say 😕

Apr 2, 7:38am

a bit disappointed it didnt mention it

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:39am

Fingers crossed it isn’t just limited to Madden and FC. Would be silly if so

Apr 2, 7:41am

I would be very surprised if it didn't. Plus, the new game launches a month later, right?

RSL

Apr 2, 7:45am

Yes, either later June or July. I’ll get it if so.

Apr 2, 7:48am

Hyrule Warriors: Imprisoning War. Fun stuff

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:40am

I didn't play the other one. I was expecting it, though

RSL

Apr 2, 7:41am

Hyrule Warriors. 🙁

RSL

Apr 2, 7:41am

GAMECUBE NSO!

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:41am

YESSSS!!!!!!

Those are going to sell out so fast. Going to have to be quick on launch day.

Apr 2, 7:52am

Back to the weird games

RSL

Apr 2, 7:44am

So many launch day titles. Awesome.

Apr 2, 7:46am

Civ VII. AustinJohnPlays will be so happy.

RSL

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 7:48am

I thought it was just me. restarted the TV. weird

RSL

Apr 2, 7:49am

So Nintendo to have that happen. LOL.

Apr 2, 7:50am

LeonMarek

RSL

Here you go, I found it:

durandal

Apr 2, 8:23am

Thanks. Just registered.

RSL

Apr 2, 8:25am

I love that. I hope it cuts down on scalpers.

Apr 2, 8:33am

Pre-orders start April 9th.

Apr 2, 8:25am

Any guesses on how much the upgrade packs will be? I'm guessing $20. Kind of sucks, but it kind of makes sense you have

durandal

Apr 2, 8:28am

im guessing about 20$ as well. New Games are gonna be 80-90$ now.

LeonMarek

Apr 2, 8:35am

$80-90 is just crazy to me. Now I see why they weren't announcing prices. Haha.

Apr 2, 8:38am

video games have been inflation resistant for decades. 40-60$ a game for a
