If they have a bundle with Bananza, or even better a banana yellow Switch 2 I will (try to) get that. And MK World solo. Instead of the MK World bundle.

You need to step-up your dating game.You know what else we know nothing about? Look at this:
Hey, I know nothing, but maybe it's a good idea for Nintendo to adress this instead of being a dismissive bootliker?
- No date for Drag x Drive (not like anyone gives a fuck about this)
- No date for Metroid Prime 4
- No date for Hyrule Warriors age of imprisoment
- Not even a single gameplay screenshot of Kirby Air Riders (and comes out this year)
- No date for Borderlands 4
- No date for FFVIIR
- If any of the games announced at SFG is releasing on S2
- If any of the games showcased at XBOX direct is releasing on S2
- What are we going to play next year on this that isn't Duskbloods
You know that sketch parodies fans not being critical of companies, righ?just consooooom
Buying one and then bitching about all this stuff that you knew beforehand is simply idiotic behavior, sorry. Especially when you claim this stuff is all a deal-braker.You know that sketch parodies fans not being critical of companies, righ?
So... liking a product and thiking Nintendo comunication is abysmal are mutally exclusive? "How do you dare eat that cheeseburger? you said the table service was abysmal!"Buying one and then bitching about all this stuff that you knew beforehand is simply idiotic behavior, sorry. .
(Citation needed)Especially when you claim this stuff is all a deal-braker.
You seem incapable of understanding nuance. Every single of those customers will agree that their communication is bad and that the console has issues, but they still have their own reasons to buy one. Buying something doesn't mean you consider it flawless.If Nintendo's strategy was so bad then the system would be failing. Sales are the only scorecard.
It took them 4 months to act with the 3DS. I don't want that.Nintendo had to change tack with 3DS when it flopped out of the gate.
Every single other game publisher that has a game coming out in summer has dated it. Some of them even beyond. Nintendo is not ready because... they're retarded?They'll release that info when they are ready to.
Hey dude, you know how they operate, maybe you're familiar with the neat graphics they put out after every direct with logos and dates on them... oh shit, thats a roadmap! Turns out the last one they did has nothing beyond a month from now! Maybe I'm not entitled to an update but maybe it's in their own interest to create de ilusion that they have stuff in store and that they know what they're doing? Comes with the added benefit of people making plans of buying stuff and keep some kind of excitement around a console that launched with 1 major new game and that will take another month to get another.they don't owe you a roadmap
I think it'll surpass Odyssey. I'm expecting this to be a 10/10. They've never made a game with tunneling like this, but we got several 3D Marios. People are sleeping on it a bit. This is literally what got me to buy the system. Going in blind as well.I'm going in blind. Odyssey was a masterpiece and if it's the same team I trust them implicitly to deliver a great platformer
The rollout is being carefully planned. You can't even buy Switch 2 online yet. They are managing demand and smoothing the spike of this console launch by turning their software lever. Right now we are supposed to be enjoying Mario Kart, Bravely Default Remaster, Cyberpunk and BC.You know what else we know nothing about? Look at this:

With Nintendo Switch 2 just one week from its official announcement, this year's annual GDC was buzzing with talk around the future of the console.
One such discussion was around the Nintendo Switch 2 launch date, which according to people that I spoke to at the event falls in June. But that's not all, according to various sources, the Nintendo Switch 2 will launch its games in a three-phase strategy, starting with primarily first-party games on launch.
According to sources, the...
Never heard about any rule about being unable to criticize something AFTER you buy it.Buying one and then bitching about all this stuff that you knew beforehand is simply idiotic behavior, sorry. Especially when you claim this stuff is all a deal-braker.
If Nintendo's strategy was so bad then the system would be failing. Sales are the only scorecard. It's happened before. Nintendo had to change tack with 3DS when it flopped out of the gate. Switch 2 is very successful. Nintendo has been doing these directs for ages and if you don't know how they operate then I don't know what to tell you. They'll release that info when they are ready to. We'll get a Metroid Prime 4 direct before Metroid Prime 4 comes out but they don't owe you a roadmap.
Yeah its selling so badly, they really fucked up.Not giving out many dev kits early enough really bit them in the ass.
Well, nothing dated.after dk we have nothing first party until October.
a lot of nintendo simps in here defending the odd moves they are making after dk we have nothing first party until October.
The Switch 2 came out not even two weeks ago. The situation has not changed at all from the day it came out until now. The idea that Nintendo isn't delivering after 10 days is so stupid, when you could have just not bought it 10 days ago and wait until the calendar was to your liking.Never heard about any rule about being unable to criticize something AFTER you buy it.
It sound like a self-inflicted personal law more than something real.
You don't need to be 100% ok with every single detail of something to buy it and talking shit when you notice that it is even worse than you thought or notice new bad things has been a thing since forever.
Like "i knew the screen was bad but now that i'm using it, it's even worse", how is this strange to hear in any way, shape or form?
People that only praise what they buy comes out as people who want to justify their purchase at any cost,i trust more people who can recognize flaws and talk about it compared to fanboy parrots that only see positive things.
FUCK YEAH! This one of my most hype game for Switch 2.
People shitting in DK's new design but I fucking LOVE it, he so much more expressive compare to old design.Metroid Prime 4 for me but this is a close 2nd
Never doubt Nintendo EPD Odyssey team for making a platformer.
Not to mention the old design is literally from Donkey Kong Country on SNES. Its okay to do something new. He looks closer to some of the NES art.People shitting in DK's new design but I fucking LOVE it, he so much more expressive completing old design.
I was talking broadly.The Switch 2 came out not even two weeks ago. The situation has not changed at all from the day it came out until now. The idea that Nintendo isn't delivering after 10 days is so stupid, when you could have just not bought it 10 days ago and wait until the calendar was to your liking.
And DK Banana is one of Nintendo's big games for 2025 and they are going to promote it in this way because they always promote their games in this way.
not all fans have or want the appYou do understand that this week isn't their last chance to date titles for between now and October, right?
Like, even assuming there's no Direct until September (and there's no reason to assume that), the very same platform that they used to announce this Donkey Kong Bananza Direct (Nintendo Today) could be used to provide a release date announcement for Metroid Prime 4 or to announce a MP4 Direct.
Donkey Kong Bananza is a priority because it's releasing a month from tomorrow.
It gets posted everywhere else in 5 seconds.not all fans have or want the app

Could be next week. Back in 2022 in the third week of June Xenoblade 3 got a dedicated direct and the following week had a partner showcase (and it was actually really good, it's where persona 3,4, and 5 were finally announced and Nier Automata port was announced).So next Direct with third-party is probably a couple months away.
i am expecting a partner direct third parties is dry as first party.Could be next week.

I wouldn't worry about that. The last two announcements (Splatoon Raiders and DKB Direct) were posted on NeoGAF within like one minute, lol.
You need to step-up your dating game.
If this is also a "game key card exclusive", I'm gonna go bananas.
Rocket lauches are carefully planned too and fail. Same is happening here.The rollout is being carefully planned.
Ah yes, they don't want you to buy their console too much so they are holding software support just in case it seems the console has a clear and bring future ahead. Nobody wants to be too sucessful, right?They are managing demand and smoothing the spike of this console launch by turning their software lever.
By divine mandate I will enjoy what Nintendo decrees, but there's still A FUCKING MONTH until DK releases.Right now we are supposed to be enjoying Mario Kart, Bravely Default Remaster, Cyberpunk and BC.
I don't own PS5 or any Xbox series. I play on PC. I have plenty to play on all my systems including Switch 2. That doesn't make their PR and launch rollout acceptable.I think maybe you have been burned by how poorly Sony has performed this gen software-wise or by how poorly Xbox performed between Halo 2 and 2023.
Yeah I know. PS and XBOX have the decency of showing their slates and they also get third party support upon game announcement.Nintendo is not that.
This is straight up fanfiction.They have tons of games in the works and 3rd parties are begging them to get on Switch 2 and not the other way around.
I bet that if this was real, publishers would be thrilled to the bone about having no control on when to introduce their game or on how to market and promote it. Crazy talk.There is a plan that is controlling this rollout and that includes all software and what software you know about.
I trust my own logic and it says when nobody announces shit for the platform durin 6 days of reveal and promo shows one after another is because there ain't shit to announce but you can go on with your senselss cultlike "when you meet god you'll believe in him" sentencesIf you believe that and trust your own logic you no longer need to be told things like "Nintendo Switch 2 will get all the 3rd party ports," you'll be saying it yourself.
I have owned Nintendo systems probably before you were even born, I can decide what I expect from Nintendo myself, thank you very much kidYou should also know that there is nothing more important to a Nintendo console than how good the next Nintendo exclusive is.
I was there. Were you?If you want to know why Switch 1 was such a huge hit,
This played a partit ain't because of the novel concept
This did not play that much of a part because they weren't that many.it ain't because of 3rd party games
Swicth 1 wasn't even backwards compatible when it launched. I insist: were you there?or backwards compatibility
Yes and no.It's because BotW and Mario Odyssey were bangers.
No, they're doing exactly the opposite of what you just praised with switch 1By showing their next game they are doing exactly the correct thing.
They have to date all this stuff at some point, but they probably see DK marketing as more urgent as it's coming next month. Everything else can be dated later through the Nintendo app or a general Direct.You know what else we know nothing about? Look at this:

I don't like the aesthetic either, it's a bit of a hard barrier for me. Sad, given the quality devs involved.I hate how this game looks so I try to avoid seeing it as much as possible. So far I'm not getting it, no matter if it's the GOTY I just can't stand the combination of colors with those glossy materials and glossy feathers on DK himself, etc. It's just too ugly too look at for me.
Not sure I should give the Direct a chance... The reason I avoid seeing it is because it overstimulates me with all of the colors and shit, like, too much and I love colorful games and cartoony style (actually, not into realistic games at all, maybe one here and there sometimes).
- Not as good quality and fewer exclusives: MK is good but it isnt breath of the wild. DK still has everything to prove. Drag x Drive is outright trash that would not chart on the steam top 300 if it was released there. Pokemon and Metroid are not exclusive to Switch 2.
6am Pt? 9am eastern? Wtf, Nintendo?
