Holy shit Nintendo is finally offering voice chat!

It's like it's the Xbox 360 all over again. Based Nintendo giving nostalgia for features from decades past!
Hey now, they've had it before.

You just had to install an app on your phone and talk into that instead. Oh and remember to match your friend codes! Don't want those nasty gamertags and aliases :)

God they're so fucking stuck in the past

Well, I'm glad I own a Steam Deck and Gaming Laptop, hope this crashes and burns and some of their games end up on Steam for this level of treachery.

My guess this will be just another Wii. Watched the Nintendo direct and it gave off "OMG, who the hell cares?" vides.
I just hope they lose enough money from this absolutely ridiculous decision and are forced to put some of their 2nd party games on Steam at least.

This is the same company that made the Wii av only because they believed hdtv wouldn't take off.

Theyre not stuck in the past. They just refuse to acknowledge the future till they can't ignore it anymore
 
Seemed a little boring to me. The Donkey Kong Bonanza game looks good, but the rest of the Direct felt like a nothingburger - catch-up on third party, catch-up on features that have been around for decades. I'll have to see just how expansive this "free-roam" is in Mario Kart World before I pass judgment on it.

Currently not worth the asking price imo. Need more first-party new stuff to drop.

The Wii was fucking great though. Tons of crazy shit.
The controller sucks ass but that's it.

No comment on Switch 2. They caught me offguard in a good way with Fromsoft and Download Play and then in a shit way with the niggercattle cards.
 
I like how they didn't even mention the hall effect sticks in their tech overview lol
 
the more I think about that DK game, the more I'm kinda not vibing with it. To be clear, the game looks OK. Especially rewatching the trailer with my expectations managed, it looks like your typical Nintendo A-Team effort. It just doesn’t feel like Donkey Kong. It feels like a 3D Mario with Donkey Kong painted over it. Maybe that’ll change as more is revealed, but as someone who grew up with the DKC games I think I’m justified to feel a little pissed that they’ve made a clear step so far away from that aesthetic and cast.

"TOKYO EPD HAS A DIFFERENT VISION FOR DK; DK IS JUST IN NEW HANDS NOW." - Soyboy Nintendie, probably

Imagine if the same thing happened with Mario? Imagine if they gave Mario to Retro Studios or Platinum Games or something and they revealed that the next mainline 3D Mario platformer was an ultra realistic, steampunk neo-noir and Mario also has been fully redesigned, and Bowser’s not in it, and there’s no sign of Luigi, Peach, Toad, or even a single Goomba, and Nintendo is so committed to neonoir steampunk Mario that this new design even follows him into the next Smash Bros. It’d feel off, right? You’d probably be confused and maybe a little upset that the established tone and design of the franchise from the last 40 years has been upended?

"ODYSSEY - "

No, Odyssey is not an example of this because for all the weird new things in that game, it still retains the overall aesthetic and tone Mario has always had. The unique elements like New Donk City and the T-Rex feel like intentional departures from the norm, meant to stand out and make you go “Haven’t seen THAT in a Mario game before!” But if Mario were redesigned to look like a New Donk resident, and the entire game was him jumping on skyscrapers and fighting T-Rexes, I imagine you’d see a similar reaction.
