Games? Console details/features? It'll be an hour long apparently.

An Earthbound remake would be rad, but I'm not holding my breath on that obviously lol

Bloodborne 2 is real

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

bloodborne 2 for switch before bloodborne for PC...

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Imagine if we get bloodborne on switch before we get it on PC

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Another year of Luigi luigi-dance

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

I'm expecting they would show off a new console called "switch 2"

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

New IP. Enough with the remakes, the Maddenification of old IPs, and rehashing the same characters. If they must, they can dig up an old studio and put it to work on something with a similar vibe.

I hope they announce that all the games will be free and that Miyamoto will Hand deliver the first unit to my doorstep next week

I hope it crashes and burns, because fuck Nintendo, but don't expect it

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

i just hope everyone has fun, except for nintendo's lawyers who all die in a boat explosion

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No idea. To be honest, I don't know what Nintendo's direction with the switch 2 would be? The steamdeck seems to me to be seated in the position that the switch 2 would seek to place itself. Imo, there was a lot of room left by the wii with motion and pointing controls that Nintendo left unexplored, especially after the wii motion plus was released. I also feel the same way with the dual screen and touch screen of the ds and 3ds (with resistive touch screens instead of capacitive)

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

imo steam deck and switch are for two totally different audiences. steam deck is more for game enthusiasts who play on pc and want to tweak stuff. switch is for normies who just wanna jump over things in games. not saying either is better than the other or anything. just seems different to me

Should have called it the "Switch U". sicko-wistful

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

And the sequel to that should've been the ⁠ᗒNewᗕ Switch U

[–] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

For real and I'm calling it that anyway

Goddamnnn; triple dash with 3 characters where you can have 2 players both controlling the drift-boosts? That would be so fuckin rad. Or the 3rd character does your pit stops. Baby park 27 laps with a pit stop lane would be hilarious

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Nope, it's going to be Mario Kart 8: 2

[–] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

bideo game with mario :DDDDDDD

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

nintendo files for bankruptcy and open sources all of their games

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

hope it has something similar to the recovery mode paperclip bypass of the early switch 1 models, or at least gets emulation almost as fast shrug-outta-hecks

i guess it will be interesting to see what nintendo development looks like on a console more powerful than a 2005 xbox 360

PLEASE. It’s been too damn long. Part of me fears they'll go straight to Elibe even if that isn’t exactly the worst

I want what I always want, a new F-Zero game and I know I will get nothing

[–] KhanCipher@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

I don't trust Nintendo to make an F-Zero game for a lot of reasons, one of the main things is that F-Zero is one of those series that tells the player straight in the face "fuck you, we're not going to hold your hand" unlike what Nintendo games have been mostly doing lately. Not to mention the best one to this day wasn't even made by Nintendo, it was made by Sega (AX/GX).

I would love a final fantasy tactics lol

[–] abc@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

real FINAL FANTASY 14 ALREADY MADE VA'S DO SOME OF THE LINES FOR ATTACKS, USE THEM angry-place

To the current of life we succumb, its judgment swift and final. Its bite as cold as steel. silver-legion

The hearts of men are black with corruption and must needs be cleansed! xi-reactionary-spotted

Seven shadows cast, seven fates foretold. Yet at the end of the broken path lies death, and death alone. kiryu-stare

I call out to the skies and tremble as the brilliance of a thousand bolts blinds mine enemies and tears their flesh asunder. policing-brain

They who dwell aloft have spoken. Let their words echo in your empty soul. Ruination is come! jerma-unhinged

You know what F it I'm going to be assertive. GIVE ME a final fantasy tactics nintendo or i wont buy your shitty console

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Hope for the collapse of Nintendo timmy-pray

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

For the console to be free

[–] abc@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

I'd be happy with a new Animal Crossing/3D Mario/Zelda (Unlikely with ToTK being so recent) but I doubt any of those three will get announced as launch titles except maybe a 3D Mario.

I am hoping they will have made the console itself somehow be able to display through the TV with the dock while in handheld mode, cause that's the only way I can ever see DS games being added to the NSO subscription but tbh they have like 95% of the GBA's library they haven't added and thankfully I have a modded 3DS so it isn't like their handheld games are inaccessible to me.

Am hoping it isn't more than like $400 but it probably won't be a pre-order or anything for me in any event unless they announce some day 1 Zelda, AC, Smash, or impressive-looking 3D Mario launch title.

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd love to see if the Final Fantasy IX remake is real and if it will be on Switch 2. I'm gonna play the original after I finish VIII regardless of news.

[–] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Are playing the FF8 remaster? I'm kinda waiting for FFNx texture mods for the original (e: PC/steam) version

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

Remaster on switch.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

better battery would be nice, and hopefully it runs better.

as for games, a little too soon but i would love another mario and luigi game, or a kid icarus remake/sequel, or a fire emblem game

i imagine they will announce a big and popular game coming for the switch 2 but it will probably will be that new mario kart game with 24 players or maybe they will add one more

[–] phil_dissonance@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Downward compatibility to play Switch 1 games.

Zelda Oracle of Seasons/Ages remade in the style of the Link's Awakening remake with both coming together in a bundle for a fair ish price.

Some older Gen 1-3 pokemon remake with some replayability feature like higher difficulty mode, nuzlocke mode, randomizer, etc.

Somehow there isn't any particular new game I can think of that I would really want...

[–] buh@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago
[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

DQ XII as launch title, Xenoblade chronicles X new game size dlc, Mario Maker 3.
