The Nintendo Switch

except for the singing bird of course hate the bird you should be able to kill him xp self

the dlc is worth getting imo, if only because you get to spend more time with kass

lol xp

haa

how can you hate the singing bird? im accordion-phobic, generally, but i still grew to love him

he needs to shut the hell up!

smt delayed until 2027

atlus haven't even released their ps4 game yet, asking for their switch game is greedy

oh right i also want a switch mario golf. that doesn't seem like too ambitious a hope

The dlc is good except the motorbike is goofy and world-breaking

over powered master sword also pretty world breaking but if you do it after the main game who cares

master sword of the original zelda game was a gun iirc

Wow, so this is their first full direct since September 2019!

mario had covid so they couldn't do one

nice

Ports to Switch of Windwaker/Twillight Princess/Skyward Sword would be good.
Or a port of Phantom hourglass that gets rid of the shitty "draw boomerang path with pen" dungeons x a jillion

don't understand turning everything into card games. my loss, i'm sure.

they're definitely not announcing BOTW2 in this right?

why did one of Miitopia beasts look like it came out of the Book of Revelations?

the octopath folks made a FFT style game, this looks cool

botw2 is already announced its just a matter of whether they have new stuff to show yet

guess not. skyward sword hd as a stopgap

I never played that on Wii so am good w/that. (Could have used Twilight Princess though, for the very niche reason that our Amiibo wolf link has only three hearts and there's no other way to increase them)

Oh yay Splatoon 3 is coming.

:/ not the biggest Skyward Sword fan, but I'll take whatever Zelda they want to give me

wish it was wind waker or twilight princess instead, neither of which i've played

link to the past is avail via the virtual console at least

also i just started odyssey so that should tide me over for a while

mario golf + splatoon 3 + octopath tactics is enough to satisfy me. legend of mana and saga frontier remasters are cool too

i regret getting a Lite

u cld sell it, buy a regular one

yes it does! i just downloaded the demo

uh, one of the three main kingdoms is called the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost, and it has voice acting, and she says "Ass-frost"

I like where this is going

ok, nevermind - it's much closer to Ess-Frost.

Still, assfrost, relatable

the voice acting is horrible. it's just a demo, but this is what passes as voice acting in most games, so. i will never understand why videogame companies don't hire real voice actors

Because they don’t want to have to pay SAG scale or residuals. (I forget if SAG won residuals after they struck against the big studios.) It’s usually nonunion talent.

this sounds like Amazon Mechanical Turk work

but what about like, local community colleges or high schools? i'm sure a lot of students would jump at the chance to be paid like $200 an hour or whatever the cheap-ass rate would be for a voice actor.

In most videogames, it sounds like the friends of the developers (or the developers themselves) are the voice actors

i do like when there's option to hear the dialogue in Japanese or any other language on the universe other than English, because that helps to cover the acting up

Huh, why did they skip Twilight Princess?
Ugh I just need to find an old Wii for cheap

psyched for Mario Golf!

and i've never spent much time with Splatoon, but might be tempted to dive in with 3 next year

Splatoon 2 has been getting great discounts this past few months if you caught 'em ($28 from GameStop on BF! amazing for a first-party Nintendo title), this might've had something to do with it

interested to see how much new it brings to the table, nintendo doesnt usually double up on multiplayer games in a console generation but i guess splatoon is too popular to not refresh

i still havent played the dlc campaign for 2 despite hearing great things about it

Yeah Skyward Sword is the last 3D Zelda with no forward-porting at all. I suspect we’ll get Ocarina and Majora HD at some point too, and then maybe Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD will finally come to switch.

oh yeah, i totally forgot that was on Wii U. surprisingly, Wii U's are not as cheap to acquire as one might hope

well they only made 10 of them
