Dual releases do sell new hardware, always have. You are alone in thinking they don't.
Maybe, but they're not going to hit Switch 1 numbers (let alone surpass them) and you're alone in thinking they will with this dripfeed rate of software.
And the "it is just reskinned Mario Odyssey" is totally confusing when a bunch of the people here were saying they wanted more of that.
If we wanted Odyssey 2 we'd ask for Odyssey 2. DK is supposed to have its own identity, this doesn't look anything like DK.
If anything, this would have been more fitting as a Wario title. The weird world, transformations, treasure hunting, smashing mechanics and emphasis on animations/ funny faces feel way more inline with how Wario operates.
I completely agree. It's kinda weird, maybe it started off as a different game, maybe even a Wario game.
Not to mention that it just looks graphically bad in many areas.
This was almost certainly a Switch 1 game held back for Switch 2, like Mario Kart World and Metroid Prime 4, which is only releasing for Switch 1 because it was already announced for it, otherwise they'd pretend it's a Switch 2 exclusive like these games.
New is good,expand the world, don't get stuck in the mud. Franchises that get stuck almost always die.
Nah, you don't need to reinvent the wheel. Rare perfected DK's world and image and vibe, and this murders that even more than Retro did.
I'm not saying the game looks bad, I'm interested in it, but it's not DK. It's losing its identity.
Splatoon is most likely not this year, but outside of mario kart (you know, the sequel to the 5th best selling video game of all time), there's DK which is generating massive buzz after the direct, a sequel to kirby air ride, a new hyrule warriors, and dramatically improved versions of pokemon and metroid prime 4. Yes, pokemon and prime 4 don't count as exclusives, but in terms of moving consoles? This isn't ps5, where early crossgen games often played at a WORSE framerate on the ps5 version, there are fucking huge differences, I'm getting a switch 2 when prime 4 comes out for 120fps and mouse controls, and I know I'm not the only one, especially when pokemon is also coming. And this is just the known titles for the first 6 months of the console.
Why are we getting a bunch of shitty spinoffs, none with release dates? Kirby in particular overlapping with MKW is odd and frankly dumb timing.
If you wanna say "That's not good enough for me", I totally get that, and I more than respect it, if I wasn't such a slave to Metroid, I probably wouldn't get one this year either. But to say "Nintendo's totally in trouble this time you guys, two more weeks!" is a completely different thing when the ps5 launched at a higher price with only a demake of a ps3 game for the first 7 months.
Depends on how you define trouble. It was never going to be as bad a flop as Wii U, it'll probably sell somewhere between 3DS-Wii, which is obviously a success on paper, but the squandered potential is pretty obvious. Things can change but I do not see this shit gaining momentum after Christmas if this is the level of support we're gonna see going into next year.
Things can change, but if we're really saying "well at least it isn't PS5!" then the cope has well and truly already begun.
There’s been so much actual psychosis about this console online, like how the snooze deck would kill it or Mario kart would flop. Really funny to see all that after the launch. I’m not super ultra hyped to buy one or anything but I might once I have the cash. Anyway here’s a meme that I found online. The le thing I did… that was outlined in TOS… Nintendo why am I banned??

Terms of Service cucks are the worst form of consoomers.
Not to call upon /v/ sperging, but they are right in saying this game feels gay and women safe. It is every modern le quirky characteristic, purple/pink lighting and overly animating everything = soul.
They're clearly trying to find the widest appeal possible instead of making something cool. They want kids, women, and Disney adult/Redditors to play it more than men.
You should be ashamed that you are a thief, regardless of the reason.
It's neither legally nor morally considered theft, though piracy is illegal and arguably potentially immoral.
The complaint is that the Nintendo game with the cartoon monkey is too colorful and cheery and not edgy enough.
