Oh then maybe this might end up being a true compilation or it’s sequel.Despite being called "Ultimate", it has a werid mix of titles from both Wii U entries (plus a few unique modes), rather than be a true compilation.

Mostly to reiterate what Kevin said,how in the world did any one take a picture of an NES cartridge as a hint toward switch 2 in the first place lol
You're not alone in thinking Nintendo is too silent for their own good. Like hell, even this isn't an official announcement; ESRB just beat them to the punch, and even if it wasn't intentional trying to smoke out Pyoro's sources for leaks, it still looks bad on Nintendo that everyone and their uncle are grasping at straws trying to figure out what they're doing nextNintendo is way to silent in general (even when they have content)
But on the other end, leaving these games to launch with hardly a few weeks warning is not exactly instilling confidence if we're walking into the future completely blindfolded.This year is definitely interesting, but it isn't unprecedented. It's a lot like 2020, where Nintendo just seems to content to rest on their laurels until they actually need to get up and do something.
I'm fine with the approach because I'm tired of things being talked about way too early and completely vanishing afterwards. And it isn't hurting them financially, so more power to them (in my opinion, of course).
Oh man, if there’s online play I’d love it if you’re all competing in real time similar to F-Zero 99. Definitely not as many players I’d imagine but more in line to Mario 35.Probably just that there's online play and something in-game that directs you towards subscribing to NSO if you don't already pay for it

I'm not saying we need games like Metroid Prime 4 announced three years before it's ready just to get rebooted after two, but I'm sure there has to be a happy medium between shadowdrop and years in the future; like six months to a year with 3-4 general directs seems like a decent cadence which is the one thing I wish Nintendo could be predictable over.
We’ll all say this now, but next time he posts, we’ll immediately forget itHonestly, given the nature of Pyoro's teases and what they turned out to be (Dolphin's = Endless Ocean and != Gamecube NSO, NWC on NES and != the DIP Switches on the cartridge), anyone expecting Switch 2 news (and to a degree, that does include myself) only have themselves to blame. We really did miss the forest for the trees
I'm definitely a bit of an island in thinking that Nintendo should just not announce anything ever until a week before it launches.But on the other end, leaving these games to launch with hardly a few weeks warning is not exactly instilling confidence if we're walking into the future completely blindfolded.

Should have known, Pyoro's teases are pretty blatant.
I don't know why people read more into that to try to manifest the Switch 2.
NSO $30 price hike confirmed.Dunno if boxed / phyiscal or just digital, but going by Pyoro it's a priced game for 30$.
I never said I drew a line from an NES cartridge to Switch 2; hell my original thought was NWC on NSO if they got licensing from Square for Rad Racer. Most people focused on the dip switches in the top left corner of the cartridge drew from the fact they're labelled SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4, and some of the numbers from 1990 miraculously matching the May 7th IR meeting being 35.7.gotta be honest, this didnt answer my question of how you drew a line from the NWC NES cartridge to switch 2 lmao. pyoro could post their bare ass on twitter at this point and people would be trying to find a way to link it a switch 2 announcement.
yall gotta chill. you see this new endless ocean game? you get to swim around and learn about fishes. theres probably a lot more different kinds of fish than you realize im having my mind blown. musics nice too. real meditative. good way to chill out. hop off twitter for the weekend. just a suggestion.
Maybe it's not Nintendo's responsibility to stop exacerbating leaker culture, but it's more on the people who keep getting worked up about it all to get their own shit together.People found a way to connect dots, and my point was that people are grasping at straws like this because Nintendo refuses to elaborate on those plans which exacerbates leaker culture.
Every first party $30-40 game over the Switch’s lifecycle has got a physical release, so I’d bet $30-40 it does.Dunno if boxed / phyiscal or just digital, but going by Pyoro it's a priced game for 30$.
If we get to the end of June without the holiday line up announced then that would be unusual and confusing. But last year and 2021 saw Nintendo wait until that June window to announce the later year games, so we've seen this occur a couple of times in recent years. The hardware situation complicates things this time out.The lack of Directs isn't really an issue. This is a strange year mostly because it's an open secret that Nintendo has moved dev resources to the Switch 2. But there will certainly be more Switch games this year, and games positioned for the holidays.
Yeah, the conspiracy theories are odd. Nintendo have had a budget title announced shortly before release last summer and in 2021. In 2019 and 2021, they announced EPD x indieszero titles a month or so before release, too. It's a well-established strategy at this point.I don't buy this being some move to smoke out Pyoro's contact (though it's not impossible). I'm mostly just curious how much of an NES Remix style game this will be when it's being given the NWC branding instead, and if there will be some sort of contest attached to it.
You are not alone in this line of thinkingI'm definitely a bit of an island in thinking that Nintendo should just not announce anything ever until a week before it launches.
Don't get me wrong, I fully agree that people are working themselves up to the point of feral behaviour just to know what lies beyond the veil. I just stand by that if Nintendo wasn't Johnny Tight Lips, there wouldn't be a need for them to be so militant about leaks getting out that spoil the surprises they want to reveal.Maybe it's not Nintendo's responsibility to stop exacerbating leaker culture, but it's more on the people who keep getting worked up about it all to get their own shit together.
It's not without precedence when Nintendo was actively looking to plug leaks. Can't remember the specific scenario, but I swear it was something Nintendo did in the last five or six years that was disseminating false info to find sources and plug holes in marketing plans. It was only a one off incident, but I remember it being talked about.This time, for whatever reason, the ESRB have gotten there ahead of time. Perhaps they were premature in releasing the rating; I'm not sure how it works. But the idea it's either an anti-Pyoro conspiracy or some colossal marketing failure is somewhat unreasonable.
Nah, I'm not gonna agree. Nintendo is just a company going about their business how they see fit, and it seems pretty normal and fine to me? Meanwhile in this thread you've made multiple posts on Nintendo saying it looks bad on them and blaming them for the general vibe of discourse. There are multiple posts that are getting into weirdo conspiracy theories about it all too. I don't really see anything Nintendo is doing to foster that kind of thinking. I mostly just see a kinda warped board/fandom culture doing its thing.Don't get me wrong, I fully agree that people are working themselves up to the point of feral behaviour just to know what lies beyond the veil.

The "in-game purchases" part of the rating is a decent indicator this'll have some kind of online aspectI'm hoping the game will have some sort of online component to drive home the competitive nature of the namesake, but I don't see anything indicating that it does in the ESRB rating. We'll see, I suppose.
The Famicom Detective Club games didn’t, excluding a limited edition Japan-only physical bundle.Every first party $30-40 game over the Switch’s lifecycle has got a physical release, so I’d bet $30-40 it does.
Oh that’s true, good spot. But yeah, this feels like it’ll be on my shelf soon!The Famicom Detective Club games didn’t, excluding a limited edition Japan-only physical bundle.
Regardless, I’d expect this to likely be a physical release too, yeah. Though they could possibly release it digitally only at first and have a physical release later, as Nintendo has done before with some games.
Just finished reading the thread.
there may be some causation hereI've got a migraine
This is a total tangent, but I'm wondering about the NSO costs you mention. Where is NSO Expansion Pack $112/yr ($14/person*8 people) for a Family Membership or $72 as an individual? I tried checking prices in a few countries and didn't find that rate.Hell I continue to take issue with the fact that despite NSO being a paid subscription, all we have to go off of are faith and vibes for games being added to systems that have already slowed down in the basic tier, and are currently without a roadmap for the extra fees when it comes to N64, GBA, Sega Genesis and DLC. I'm not saying I need information down to the minute when specific games will be uploaded to the server, just a confirmation that games are still in the pipeline before slowing down after exhausting their first party releases. The only reason I stay subbed is because splitting it eight ways means I pay only $14/year which is far more reasonable than paying $72/year as an individual.
yesI really dunno why people are so pissed about a game we only have a vague description of that barely tells us more than the title. Was it cause Pyoro leaked it and people convinced themselves it was about Switch 2?
Yeah Nintendo's had a lot of smaller games this year but like, I dunno, I think it's alright that not every year needs a new mainline Mario or Zelda or something, and there's still another 7 months for them to reveal those before next year!
NES nostalgia is a little tiring considering it's been consistently milked for over 20 years at this point, but I still think the simplicity of those games work a lot better for a challenge collection like NES Remix, and presumably this.
I just think it's funny that NES nostalgia is so old that there are NES throwbacks that are older now than the games it was inspired by at the time.oldheads whining about NES nostalgia is so funny to me

like, imagine you do some Mario challenge and as soon as you're done the screen just scrolls up into a Zelda challenge, something like that. No down time, only game
Now I agree that the similarity between this year and 2017 3DS probably does mean something, but man it'd be really funny if Switch 2 was never planned for this year or next year and this just ended up looking like a light year just cause Nintendo has those sometimes.It's almost as if a brand new console generation was supposed to launch at the end of the year then recently got pushed to next, hence the reason there are no big games in the latter half of this year...

hogan's alleyWhich NES games would you guys like to see featured in this collection that wasn't available in any version of NES Remix?
I'm just gonna assume Startropics wasn't in it, and I think that'd be a fun one if only because the Japanese audience would have next to no context for that game (which is why realistically they won't use it)Which NES games would you guys like to see featured in this collection that wasn't available in any version of NES Remix?
I wouldn't be shocked if it is less like remix's bite sized challenges and instead is a lot more score focused like the original World Championships. My guess is that there were trying to find a way to make a successor that better fit with online play and realized the similarities to what they were making with the World Championships.Most of my thoughts about this game have revolved around the name. I can understand the rebrand from NES Remix to an extent if they're trying to make this a series that spans multiple consoles, but... I dunno. It's a much longer and clunkier name than if they just stuck with "[X] Remix" for future titles. Not sure if I like it. Of course, this is assuming the game will essentially be NES Remix 1+2+Ultimate with a new coat of paint and not something entirely new that'll catch us by surprise.
