Makes you wonder if it'll be twice as big as Odyssey in content given SMO was 5.6 GB.

Nah I'd guess around a similar size as Mario. Higher quality assets etc to account for the bigger size.

Topher You know what they say, its not the size of the gifs that count, its what platform they are on.

For most part file size has no indication how big the game is gonna be.

There are linear games which has big file size mostly because of high quality cutscenes.

The OT title is fine but

good OT Topher

Plot Twist: This thread is the game

Wow, what if you embedded the entire rom in the gif metadata. I think it could be done! Kinda like how the Spore creature creator worked.

Topher You know what they say, it's not the size of the gifs that count, it's what platform they are on.

A game made for the humblest of consoles, with an OT that requires a PCMR rig to display properly. The irony!

Probably will be big regardless. I wonder if the Odyssey team will top SMO's postgame. SMO is huge.

Great thread, Topher !

Hope the game ends up being as good

Could also be that the soundtrack is has a lot of vocals. maybe.

Shoutout to my son, Jackson, for creating the GIFs​

Well done Jackson, and you too Jack (I thought your name was Topher though)

Bit weird that this comes out in a week and the only other confirmed switch 2 game is that Splatoon spinoff. No mention of a direct, or of an MKW collaboration.

Really wish they would stop gatekeeping the Metroid Prime 4 release date.

August has Kirby expansion and Drag X Drive and that's going to be it. September will likely have something first party new but they want the excitement to be on DKB atm. We could see a direct in late July/early August.

Great OT, Topher .

Review Embargo:

Different sources are saying different things regarding the review embargo - some claim it's the day before launch, others say due to a day-1 patch we won't be getting any reviews before launch.

What are you counting as a "confirmed Switch 2 game" here?

A Nintendo created Switch 2 exclusive.

I had forgot the wheelchair game but I'm not going to ever play that.

 

[Dacvak]

There's also Kirby Air Riders and the new Hyrule Warriors, but I agree that we pretty clearly need some announcements soon.

Even setting aside unannounced games, there are almost no games with release dates beyond next month, including third party titles. The initial Switch 2 Direct seemed to be designed to only provide dates through the end of August.

It's really just Hyrule Warriors since Air Riders has no gameplay shown.

All the other games were either going to be Switch 1 games or have a Switch 1 component like game share.

We haven't really seen a game built specifically for the Switch 2 from the getgo.

Though with a bunch of games having tentative 2025 or This Winter placeholders these games may as well be releasing in 2026.
