Sounds like the Direct tomorrow will be a full hour. Then several hours of Treehouse presentation the following two days. That's a lot of content!

PRE ORDER
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Apparently there's a lot of speculation on this 'C' button on the switch2. I'm thinking it's a "Connect" button that wirelessly connects your switch to your base station so you only really need to dock it to charge it.

I read an article (probably based on absolutely nothing) that you might be able to connect your old Switch and use it as a second gamepad controller.

Yes immediately if you are a tad bit interested. Scalpers will make this impossible to get for a year or so.

New Hyrule Warriors. Loved Age of Calamity so will definitely be buying.

That said, disappointed that it probably means no new Zelda game. At least not for this Direct.

Any advice on the best seller to go through for preorders?

GameCube sold me. I'm preordering this. Soul Caliber 2 is the best fighting game I've ever played.

And it's about damn time Wind Waker is coming. Hopefully that means Twilight Princess won't be too far away

Uh oh... Elden Ring for Switch 2. Looks like i'll be buying yet another copy.

The mouse controls seem like they would be awkward. and the Webcam is dumb, kinect did it over a decade ago and it was not embraced.

The upgraded specs look good for the titles that will be able to support it. So I am looking forward to that

No price announcement, no release date for MP4, no updates on MP 2-3...

No 3D Mario is disappointing considering Odessey came out in 2017...

I have to think that MP4 will be available at launch. MKW may sell systems on its own, but MP4 too would seal it for even more people. No price or preorder info is frustrating. Hoping they give some advance notice and don't just open preorders when no one is paying attention…

Yeah I was sure this was gonna be the holiday release.

I guess probably next year. They must be holding a lot back for whenever the next Direct is.

Are games really going to cost $80 or is that rumor?

Maroi Kart World is confirmed $80. Guessing that will be the new norm for the big first party titles

$80/90 may have lost me. For as little time as I'll have for gaming in the coming years (about to have a 2nd kid), the Steam deck will do what I need and I'll get discounts on discounts. For Nintendo, I'll be paying $80 four years from now to play Mario Kart again. Boo.

Kids have an XBox and I have a Steam Deck. Seems like a pass for me.

Yeah this new price for 1 game is ridiculous. And physical disks cost more?

Looks like I won't be picking up a switch 2 for a while. I don't need one that badly.

The new pricing structure for games has quickly soured me on this new system. I think I'll just pick up a steamdeck instead

Yeah Nintendo is really fumbling the ball on what should've been a slam dunk with this system. If they struggle whatsoever it's 100% on their ridiculous pricing.

What's better than paying 59.99 for a decade old wii u port?

Paying 89.99 for a decade and a half year old will u port.

Nintendo just put their clown makeup on.

A majority of their games weren't worth 60 in the first place, outside of maybe the Zelda games

Mario 64 cost $120 in 2025 dollars when it released in 1996. Star Fox 64 was $150. Nintendo pricing has always been ridiculous. I'm not sure why people would react differently this time around.
