Hope the different playable characters/their storylines properly interact this time instead of being entirely separate and the rest of the party simply being involved in gameplay during battles.

>>423297
Agreed, that should've been an obvious thing to do, plus it already happened in Live A Live, so Square clearly knows how to do something like that.

Indie World Showcase 11.9.2022 - Nintendo Switch
Do people really play Nintendo consoles for indie games?

>>423961
Prior to the invention of the steam deck, a console that could also be a handheld was the best place to play such lightweight games.

>>423962
The Steam Deck is pretty bad as a gaming device.

So that's how they got around not choosing only one of the lords...

Not nearly as interesting as the previous ones, but I'm sure there are people out there who like these characters.

>>424418
They put so much work into making the animations look cool, but stuff about this new game makes it come across as shallow and the characters so obnoxiously 'anime' compared to the game that preceded it.

The grooming of a wittle child soldier is a small part of that.

Honestly random indie monster catching games you can find on places like Steam are often a better idea than buying new instalments of Pokemon, if you need to scratch the itch.

Looking forward to this Strategy RPG, kind of annoying their games don't make the jump to PC honestly.

>>425581
Apparently Nintendo got pissed off that the guy revealed this old unused concept art and pressured to have him fired from his job.

That's super fucked up.

>>425587
That's the average Nintendo move.

>>425581
She's just Rosalina with a head scarf.

>>425588
Just because she's got blonde hair over her face doesn't make her rosalina, her face is much rounder and chubbier looking for one thing.

>>425567
Does look rather interesting.

>At heart, Starfield is a game about the fragility and contingency of state power, competition between forms of government, and the unexpected ways that private, nongovernmental power steps in to fill the gaps and voids left by states.
I'm not sure if yahoo is making a good judgement or not since I haven't played the game.

>>425730
Its boring shit with terrible characters. Knockoff Skyrim in Space.
Though does it really have anything to do with the Nintendo thread?

Woops, my bad on that

I've no idea what to say about that, not something I really think about

Oh, I wasn't thinking it seemed now realizing It probably was a console war challenge. I was just randomly looking for how the consoles are doing and stuff then came across this. I think PS4, XBox and Nintendo can be found on PC so you're on the perfect race area!

>>422639
Did you pick up Scarlett or Violet? I'm curious if it's worth a buy.

>At almost seven years old, the Nintendo Switch still has life left in it — so much so that Nintendo has upped its predicted sales figures for its current fiscal year. In its third-quarter earnings release, the >company announced that it was increasing Switch's projected sales from 15 million to 15.5 million.

>>426047
Didn't Shigeru Miyamoto take issue with the original characters created for the RPGs or the storytelling and gameplay involved in them and thats why later Mario RPGs became so soulless?

Basically being an old fuddy who didn't get the newfangled thing compared to the original.

>>426221
Nah, that was just a design choice due to how crap the Famicom hardware was.

Nintendo is suing the palworld devs, but instead of monster designs it seems like its something to do with game mechanics?

Fuck nintendo, they patent the most generic basic shit as a 'game mechanic' and then use it as an excuse to bully people with their lawyers.

No thread specifically for the MKW Direct, huh? I'm guessing 8moe is where all the reacting is. Ah well, it's just Mario Kart.

>>430256
it was rather empty of novelty, i don't get why they showed this after the treehouse

>>430256
>>430346
Reminder that Doug Bowser said the "direct" would convince pekple the game was worth 80 bucks

>>430438
They didn't need to "convince" anyone in the first place. People are gonna buy it anyway. We know this

Just fuck nintendo and their pricing, its a bloody con.

haven't posted on this site in years
that direct was meaningless
what happened to normal, super nintendo/n64-styled battle mode?
it's not like those were missing in later editions, just that 8 decided to go in a lazy direction

>>430438
If they needed to convince people they should have showered us with exiting numbers. number of tracks, number of characters, etc. I'm a bit disapointed that costumes are unlocked in the food, feels like either an unfun gatcha system or a dumb fetch quest (depending on wheter or not the costumes are rng).
With donkey kong having some voice acting I also expected more voices overall. Maybe a commentator for races?

I don't really like mario kart and I'm not a fan of the system's default colour, did any leaker hint for other bundles or colors coming in the future?

>>431032
Oh yea, also preorders begin on the 24th next week

>>431032
so glad I'm not american for that one particular thing. life sucks but at least I dont' have to check the stock market every morning to see what price are my vidya gonna be

>>431032
Absolute clown shit. They'll sell like crazy to the usual paypigs and scalpers for a year, and then be perpetual shelfwarmers after that. Who can afford that shit?

This will sound stupid but
If you were to make a nintendo account on PC, you could later link it to your switch/switch2 account right? I'm guessing the answer is "yes retard", but im asking because i just realized that my last nintendo console was the wiiu and i did the bare minimum to get online working on just the console and never did care to even properly finish setting it up any more than that.

>>431149
I think the pc account will be the switch account, no? and you link older stuff like the 3ds account?

>>431226
>I think the pc account will be the switch account, no?
Ahh, alright alright
Anyway, do you guys think we'll be getting splatoon 4/splatoon 3+ as a launch title for switch 2, or are they going to wait some time with releasing it

>>431423
>splatoon 4/splatoon 3+ as a launch title for switch 2
But... if that was the case, they'd already have announced it by now, right? Are you retarded, or am I retarded?

>>431424
>they'd already have announced it by now, right?
who knows, i was thinking they could do some shadow drop a few days before the console is set to actually release.to drum up extra hype since splatoon is a big thing, especially in asia.
> Are you retarded, or am I retarded?
Mayby it's both.

No way we have an unnanounced splatoon anything in the lauch windows, it would have been shown already.
splatoon 3 is compatible to the global performance enhancements but it already runs really well anyway. I think we might get a spaltfest at the very best.
that said they might start teasing a splatoon 4 in the near future, that's one game that will help people doing the jump from Switch to Switch2 for sure. I dream of an holiday release, but realistically they are going to wait for next year imo.

>>431149
Yea, you can make an account and later link it to the switch. You can also link your 3ds/wiiu account as well but all that’s really good for is friend suggestions through those systems and linking whatever funds you have on those accounts to your main nintendo account
>>431430
A shadowdrop for a new splatoon wouldn’t work, especially to drum up hype which takes time to build. At best we’ll get a switch 2 update for improved graphics/framerate and maybe mouse support
>>431447
They have been doing seasonalfest/big run reruns and we are slated for a summerfest in july, which may be the last one as they prep for splatoon 4. On that note projections do have it for a ‘26 release given it’s been in the works since a year and a half ago. We’ll likely see it in the next direct

>>431458
I really hope they don't implement mouse controls in splatoon, the inertia is part of the games physics, making it "as fast as you drag" will kill the game for most people (including me). I don't want CSgo faggotry in my colorfull cephalopods game

>>431032
good news?

>>431545
Considering the circumstances this is the best-case scenario. Not ideal, but far better than the system going up to $700

Witout /v/ to aggregate all news i feel like the industry just froze entierly.

>>432077
Could always just use reddit.
If all you are looking for is news about particular game consoles there's presumably a particular forum for it, and its not like the posting quality will be much worse than /v/ was to be frank.

>doug bowser news of the day : yes a 3d mario is in preparation
Imagine my utter surprise. Im literally shaking. Unbelievable.

>>432080
i cant belive we're finally getting another 3d mario

So, did you snag a Switch 2 this morning?

>>432652
nah, i plan on waiting a few weeks after launch before i consider buying it

>>432652
waiting for Splatoon4 and a new console color. preferably in a bundle.
I find the games prices too complicated too, too many versions and categories. I hope they average things up a bit, or at least put back a new version of coupons and gold coins.
(that said I'm French and we get really good prices there)

>>432652
Nah, the launch lineup isn't that interesting. Maybe later in the year when more exclusives come out, then I'll grab one.

>>432681
while I'm not that thrilled by the launch line up, I'm still really exited to play my old switch games in a decent framerate.

>/v/ is back.
