Nintendo Switch 2

Sometimes I just love how out of left field Nintendo can be.

Based on more information that has come out, it seems like this may be false. Apparently the Google API was pulling the release date for the game Beast of Reincarnation on its search result preview.

The fact we have two Directs separated like this and how long each one is makes me think we’re in for something reeeeeeeeeally special here.

Zelda 40th anniversary Direct on 8th September and Nintendo Direct 9th

That is insane. I am stealing my wife's switch (that I bought her) to play this for sure.

When they first showed Kokiri Forest I was getting worried but it looked better in the actual trailer. I think Aonuma’s gameplay was just lower res.

One thing I’m not liking though is all the items being lined up like TotK and EoW. I don’t want to endlessly scroll for the item I want.

Zelda OOT for me is near a perfect adventure

I can't wait to jump back in, we get real cutscenes with voice acting, the soundtrack is one of the best ever made for any media and I bet the rerecording will be even better, game play looks fun and the small improvements like jumping are nice, the app for it would be something I'd kill for as a kid
The Amiibo look nice but hope the masks in game do something

Looks amazing, if this isn't my game of 2026 then I'm eating really good this year

Walmart finally has their preorders up. Love that they match the $10 cheaper digital price

METROOOOOOIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like it wasnt the best direct but

Pikiman 4 DLC, Metriod, new Kirby game and Free Mario Kart DLC.....FINALLY (though my god listen to fans and let us do three races on all tracks)

Metroid and Kirby are enough for me to be happy. The content of the Mario Kart World update after a year is laughable though.

Anyone else think of The Truman Show during the Kirby trailer? Lol

Aaaaaaaaand the Metroid Ravenous Special Edition is already gone on the Nintendo Store. I don’t even know when it went up because last time I searched it nothing came up. Hopefully it goes on sale on other stores soon.

Edit: looked on Reddit and apparently it’s a known thing that Nintendo is slow to update the search function on their store. The item could be available but you’d have to search on Google. What the hell.

Agreed but I'm happy we have anything

And its normal tracks, this MK is by far.....by far the least MK I've ever played...I just don't care for the way they do courses. I want three courses in a row

Do Knock out mode with the courses between courses but I want a normal MK mode for online

I was able to get it through Best Buy

If it goes up on Target and I’m able to get it there with my 5% off debit card I’ll cancel the Best Buy order.

These Switch 2 era Directs have just not been doing it for me. They had a really wonderful presentation during the console reveal last April, and then ever since, they've just been way too bloated and the pacing has been totally off.

I heard it said elsewhere, but I agree: Ironically, this Nintendo Direct could've really used an OoT trailer haha.

Meanwhile I’m the opposite lol. Metroid and Kirby were great to see and have me completely satisfied with the Direct.

Btw, there’s a Walmart promo code going around that lets you save $10. Type in “SAVE3X” at checkout. If you use it to preorder the physical version of OoT it makes it $20 off the normal price since buying first party Switch 2 games from Walmart already has them match the digital price.
