Nintendo Switch 2

[Mike S]

Well, the “compulsively check leaks and rumors communities online every five seconds” era of my life is over. It looks exactly how we thought it would for about a month now, but I’m excited to go to the in person experience. MARIO KART 9 LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. I’M OBSESSED WITH THE NEW DONKEY KONG

Mario Kart 9 looks stunning. Genuinely interested to see what happens with that size of the map (makes me think 24 player race courses).

It’s funny when you think about how we technically haven’t had a brand new console Mario Kart in 11 years since 8 first launched on Wii U.

If Mario Kart 9 is a launch title...god that would be amazing

I'm just going to have to wait until april to say more

I know the teaser is for normal people..but wish they could have throw a few bones....because for sure most of what they will talk about in april will be leaked by then

Launch it with Mario Kart and a Switch 2 specific version of Metroid Prime 4. That’s all they would need.

I understand the lack of Kid-Icarus, Earthbound, and Warioland to some extent but for the love of all that is holy, can we please get new Donkey Kong, Star Fox, and F-Zero games?

Star Fox feels like a dead franchise, F-Zero has been rumored for a bit to be getting a port/remaster of F-Zero GX and Donkey Kong's a tricky and slippery one.

Kid-Icarus is a no brainier...not sure why the last one was not ported then make a sequel

Star Fox....I just want a smile game. No Gimicks just give me a game where you go through 10 planets and try to get the highest score and have options like 50 planets and you get to go through 10 each run
Also a real online dog fight mode where you can customize how your ship looks


Also for the love of god....give us the Wind Waker port....its done its ready please release it

I wouldn't rule out a new Star Fox game, I definitely think it is capable of a series revival similar to what happened to Metroid. I think they've just wanted some time to pass after the disaster that was Zero.

Don't call my boy dead... He's great... 'C'MON' lol

For real tho! We don't need to re-invent the wheel with Star Fox, that's primarily why most of them haven't been as successful since N64. Just make a game almost exactly like that one, introduce a customization option like you mentioned, an online option like you mentioned that let's you either co-op missions or dogfight and there ya go. Simple.
Why hasn't this happened yet?

Also, F-Zero should've been on every console since the WiiU with a crazy handle-steering schtick where you use the pad to do stuff with your ship. Don't know why this franchise has been dormant when the tools are right there in front of it.

And for DK they really have zero excuses when they can literally do exactly the same thing that they're doing for Mario and Kirby games and just adapt it to that playstyle. It really isn't rocket science.

Its getting better but the old guard always wants to do something with a gimmick over finding out what works and doubling down on that

I mean look at all the last star fox games since the N64 all but the remake had something the held it back because they could not just let us have fun in a game

Switch 2 gives me hope...it looks like what people want. A more powerful switch not trying to reinvent the wheel everytime and even now with wireless controllers....I really don't think any system needs to do more then be more powerful. Also I'm hearing rumors its not 4K...thank you god

The Ps5/Xbox generation is sooooo slow and boring now because of 4K, every team is wasting years making the game look "real" who cares Astro bot beat you all in GOTA....people want fun they don't care if every game looks like last of us
