>>715814823 (OP)
Yeah

>>715814823 (OP)
Doesn't seem like it.

It's the reason I want a Switch 2 but I will still wait for the OLED revision

No, I don't have any kids who would enjoy this

>>715814823 (OP)
No, Switch 2 is another Wii U. No good system sellers.

>>715815284
What would be an example of a good system seller?

>>715815331
Not being 500 bucks.

500 is a normal price. Sorry you're letting no name twitter leftists think for you.

Probably not, mario kart and animal crossing are the big system shifters. This sort of game is for the Nintendo die hards who already bought the console.

Glad someone apologized for this even if it wasn't nintendo.

>>715814823 (OP)
As days pass, i get more and more annoyed this got developed instead of a 3d Mario. The game could be good but i just don't like DK as a character (i has nothing to do with the new desing, it has always been like this)
>inb4 do it for Pauline
not gonna lie, she might be the only reason i could give this game a chance....

>>715815284
It’s already sold almost half on the Wii U’s lifetime sales. Plus it’s been out for almost two months and it’s still hard to find… obtainable yes. As of the last week you can now find one if you really want one but they’re still selling out quickly unless you live in Canada (which is New India and they only play PlayStation). Wii U had an okay launch day thanks in part to scalpers who got burned but within a week nobody was buying it and it even saw a month of negative sales from the scalpers returning them. Judging by completed and sold listings, scalpers are still making money off of the S2 although I expect this to stop soon unless there is a shortage

>>715814823 (OP)
Nintendo is known for quality, thats what sells their consoles. Do you idiots ever get tired of your delusions?

>>715815701
It's supposed to be a pun on "Banana" which, if you weren't aware, are a favorite food of Donkey Kong.
This is a game where you collect "Banandium" gems and your powerup forms run on "Bananergy." The spelling is intentional

>>715816075
It unironically plays games better than an emulator. But you wouldn't know that. Your poo covered android phone is the only electronic you have.

>>715815408
Its 450, and adjusted for inflation, it costs the same as the original switch did on launch.
>but muh wages
100% a you problem. Stop working at a fucking retail job

>>715816191
Actually Miyamoto and Aonuma confirmed it's a clever reference to the cult CBS program, The Big Bang Theory. Internally it was known as Donkey Kong Bazinga.

They only made this to justify Shiggy's theme park deal with Universal. Same goes for the upcoming live-action Zelda movie.

>>715816247
>it actually does even though nintendo themselves mysteriously never mentioned it outside of charging money for this feature on select games
Oh

>>715815968
this would be me but knowing that 3D Mario or Zelda is likely 4-6 years out, and the console already needs a revision... i wait.

Sex sells. A lot of people on /v/ have agreed thus far that this is Nintendo’s most sexually explicit game and a LOOOOOT of people have been focusing on the adult aspects. If this was released on Steam it likely would’ve been banned like Blue Archive. So there’s no doubt that tons of people are rushing to buy it, just like they do with similar adult gachas like BA, Girls Frontline, etc. It’ll probably be one of Nintendo’s most successful titles.

It’s not cope, there are 8 billion on this planet and over 75% of them are subhuman garbage. 20% are street shitting poojeets. Blacks and Hispanics love GTA. If all of South America could only play one video game it would be a GTA game. It appeals to the lowest common denominator in terms of cognitive and intellectual ability. Its sales figures are representative of the fact that most “people” are just low IQ retards. I’m not coping with anything here just stating a fact. You are probably just low IQ, especially if you were one of the swarthoids foaming at the mouth over the reveal showing morbidly obese negresses on Miami Beach. One of the main GTA games was 100% full of niggers for fuck’s sake

Is there a switch 2 emulator somewhere?

>>715814823 (OP)
It’s not a system seller and it doesn’t need to be. The console is selling fine. It’s a fun game, Odyssey 2 with new mechanics and DK instead of Mario.

>>715817746
why the fuck would there be

>>715814823 (OP)
mario kart was more or less the system seller. people who don't even play video games will still play mario kart. donkey kong might be a little more niche, even as a franchise, which means that it will probably still sell fine, but nobody's going to be buying the console specifically for it. it's not as technically impressive as donkey kong country was when it first came out.

>>715817746
See you in 5 years

It might not be as good as what people though it would be as a follow up to Mario Odyssey but I think this one was aimed more for the kids with its destructibility.

>>715818168
I understand that position, but people come to 4chan specifically to troll and sew discourse, not to have actual discussions. People aren't going to pay money to do that, and if it was required, those people just wouldn't even bother. Nobody is going to risk getting banned from a website that they paid to use.

>>715818341
People aren't even buying switch 2 right now because they're sold out basically everywhere. I'm guessing these trannies will use the shortage as proof that it isn't selling anymore though.

>>715816530
The value proposition that was there day one?

>>715814823 (OP)
We literally don't know because Switch 2s are still selling out near-instantly so it's impossible to meaningfully gauge demand when supply is still at "as fast as you can make them" levels.
Also it's coming out right after Mario Kart which is the real fucking tentpole.

>>715818441
Instead they say things like “sales have collapsed” and “I went to 10 stores today and all of them were fully stocked with Switch 2”. There has been daily stock in the morning this week here in the US. Online and in stores. Still sells out quickly and still sells for a scalper markup on eBay though. Until supply meets demand and scalping stops, I’m surprised anybody would even argue that it isn’t selling unless it’s just bait

>715817415
Not spoon feeding you common knowledge, Raj.

>>715817879

>>715814823 (OP)
Does it have to? Every Switch 2 sells itself.

>>715814823 (OP)
no its a babbby game, moreso than odyssey and most other nintendo exclusives

Probably not but it will make switch 2 owners feel less bad about owning one.

>>715819629
I'm guessing this is a bullshit article, but sunshine, while not exactly "hard", has missions that can take a stupidly long time to beat, especially in ricco harbor. Where it loses me is that there are almost no points in the game where you can get stars out of order. It's more tedious than it is difficult.

>>715819162
Maybe emulators that boot to the home screen. You won’t see full-fledged switch to emulators that play retail games for a couple years at least and even then Nintendo will try to shut them down legally. So you might not even see a a work in progress one that boots to the home screen because the developer might want to keep it hidden until it’s more robust. Also, you’ll need good specs since S2 is stronger relative to what the original was. Most active steam users don’t even have specs as good as current gen consoles, they won’t be able to run a S2 emulator

Pauline has so much constant inane dialogue in this game it gives Dexter and Gex a run for their money.

Why is this a game and not a Mario game? Nobody cares about Donkey Kong. He's not a system seller. He's like Samus: He's what you get because Nintendo has a hole in its release schedule.

its good but it very one note. After 60-90 minutes i get bored of it and find myself going back to twitter for racist content

compare it to botw or totk where you can play for like 5 hours straight

>Same goes for the upcoming live-action Zelda movie.
We getting a new game?

>>715814823 (OP)
how well did tropical freeze sell thats your answer

>>715823156
They know Mario will sell anyway so they gave the launch window honeymoon period to DK because they're trying to increase his mascot status due to their plans for their cinematic universe and DK film. They want him to be as iconic as Mario again or at least to regain his cultural clout from the arcade days.

>>715823156
They have a popular DK area and ride at Universal. And they’re making a DK movie. He’s part of popular culture for sure. Mario is just a character that they used in a lot of different games whose design was a result of hardware limitations and whose lore came from his most popular early games. I think changing up the protagonist and altering the gameplay elements to fit that protagonist worked out really well here

>>715823540
I just don't see it happening without Rare. In the 90s Donkey Kong was big enough to have side characters like Diddy carry their own kart racing spin-off

>>715823689
Mario, DK and Link are being primed to be Nintendo's Big 3.

>>715823156
While DK isn't as popular as he used to be, DK country actually did used to be a system seller. What others have said though, it does seem that they are trying to bring him back up to flagship status. His arcade game was literally what put nintendo on the map in the first place.

>>715814823 (OP)
Presumably. Mario Odyssey did.

>>715815438
Nigga the whole game was basically spoiled by bingtendo

How's the framerate?

>>715821148
If you already own the $450 switch then it's just $70. Seventy dollars is a good price for a 20 hour game.

>>715823714
Not bad for a rejected redesign of DK Jr. that Nintendo told them had to be a separate character. But still, Rare wasn’t anything special IMO. Like Retro, they were only good because of Nintendo and immediately turned to shit when Nintendo sold them (not Retro, they haven’t sold Retro… but if they did they would suck). Diddy Kong carried a game because it was a numbered sequel to DKC and the racing game was successful because N64 had nothing else to play at times and long periods of droughts. Rare made a lot of garbage games, see Rare Replay for example. For every Battletoads there was also a Nightmare on Elm Steet or the shitty Wizards and Warriors games

>>715824145
Generally mostly 60, but the game has double buffered v-sync, so if a frame drops, you immediately go to 30 FPS.
On handheld VRR fixes this, but on docked it can be jarring.

>>715821148
you are a casual playerfag if you don't do extra content in a FUCKING COLLECTATHON PLATFORM

>>715824145
Okay. Seems to mainly dip in level transitions and cinematics

the switch 2 is already the fastest selling console in history and units keep selling out as soon as they're put on stores

>Ppl doubting DK when the franchise always sold millions
DK sales aren't on par with Mario's or Zelda's recent outings but his overall performance is still strong. You also forget to account of him not receiving any new games on the Switch 1. I guarantee this game will be a 20+ million seller like Odyssey.

>>715825031
Sonic could never.

it sold at least one

>>715814823 (OP)
doubtful. DK isn't as popular as Mario, especially with kids now. maybe to retarded millennials.

>>715814823 (OP)
I always try to avoid participating in Nintendo threads. Even though I've got a middling opinion on them as a company, /v/ is the kind of place where childless 30-something men will see someone say the new donkey kong game is going only to chimp out at them then spend the next few hours refreshing the thread repeatedly to see whether that person replied. I don't understand why you guys don't gravitate towards things you like rather than writing a bunch of shit nobody's gonna read about things you've already decided pre-launch that you hate. Think back on ten years ago when you were ranting on /v/ about the Wii U or whatever else. That time means nothing to you now, as will every second you spend circlejerking ITT.

Don't bother replying. I'm already gone.

>>715824920
I think this will end at some point soon and supply will catch up with demand. But it’s true today, I bought one from Target’s online store. It was there a couple hours but then it sold out. It said a few of the stores near me had a few in stock and they were all gone when I checked again around noon. Last time I checked GameStop earlier today they had a bundle in stock but it was pricey and didn’t have the MKW sku.

>>715825364

>>715825486
he said he's gone stop replying

>>715825379
GameStop bundle still available. S2 + DKB + DK Amiibo + 256GB SDE card for $610 which is retail price if you want all that and don’t mind losing out on $20 savings for digital MKW

>>715825379
although the wii was far more casual than the switch, the wii was sold out for basically its entire lifetime even after the wii u came out.

>>715816117
For me it's a bit the other way around. New DK grew on me quickly that i don't find his look that obnoxious. But it's the breaking mechanic i dislike. Everything feels messy and dirty and i'd rather have a normal platformer

>>715817376
For you

>>715825667
It wasn’t though. It was sold out for most of the first year through its 2nd holiday season after which it was obtainable until around the 3rd holiday season (but nowhere near as hard to find). After that it was never sold out again, especially after the Wii U released that’s when they came out with that shitty flip top model. The original Switch was sold out for most of its first year.

idk, can i play it for free on my machine?

>>715825883
DK doesn't need to be relegated to typical 2D platformers. One of the problems with nintendo having so many different franchises is that if they aren't doing their own thing going on, there's no reason to make them. The reason why we will probably never see a new F Zero game ever again is because Mario Kart exists and it one of the best selling franchises of all time. They'd need to do something other than just make it a straight up racing game. Pikmin is an RTS, Splatoon is basically an arena shooter, zelda is an action adventure series, kirby is just a simple platformer with new gimmicks that wouldn't work in mario, etc. Donkey Kong either needs its own identity, or it needs to just straight up be rolled into the mario series proper. It looks like they're trying to do both.

nigga you say that but we're getting a fucking kirby air ride sequel

>>715814823 (OP)
why should i care if it sells consoles? Since i have it already i just care if the game is good.
For that matter, i'd actually like it if the console sold *worse* so that Nintendo would be forced to do good deals again.
I don't care about nintendo succeeding over whatever is required to sustain themselves, i just care about having good games to play

>>715826396
It's sad because F Zero 99 already proves there is a niche for F-Zero to be a wipeout battle based racer. I might be coping but i do feel like Nintendo acknowledges F Zero and is at least planning a game. Even if that's the case, we probably won't see it for at least two years with MK World and Kirby Air Riders already hogging up attention for racing games

>>715821148
>>$500 + $90 + tip for a 20 hour game max
Well just a week ago everyone here was saying it was $700 + $110 for a 5 hour game. What happened?

>>715826509
And I'm sure it was entirely Sakurai's pitch. They seem to just let him do whatever he wants. Why did he try to revive kid icarus and make it an on rails shooter of all things. He's also not strictly a nintendo employee.

Nigga, its month 2, we have 2 system sellers.
May I remind you the xbox still has none at the end of the cycle and the ps5 started with a ps3 port?

>>715821270
You know, you'd think that, but in Rich Europe here, mario kart had a launch price of 90,- and physical copies are already selling for 75,- within a month.
MKW might have legit been a "use it to sell the upsell"

I'm been playing this game for a few hours so far and it's been pretty good. Can someone who's not a complete and utter casual retard explained the obsession with difficulty when crying about this game? I have played pretty much every mainstream, normalfag 3D platformer known to made, and not a single one about sandbox freedom where you just collect shit has ever truly challenge me during it's main runtime. From Jak to Spyro to Mario. This entire genre is literally about appealing to everyone.

>>715828397
This game has a lot of optional stuff to explore, and the retards complaining are just going from waypoint to waypoint as fast as they possibly can.

>>715828397
I’m assuming it follows the trend of optional challenging levels at the end. My favorite is still Champions Road from 3d world

>>715814823 (OP)
i'm only a couple hours in and it's definitely one of the best platformers i've ever played

>>715814823 (OP)
I'm not going to buyy it BUT switch 2s have basically been permanently sold out in my home city for months now. Like I casually check Walmart and best buy when I'm shopping each week and they are never in stock. I heard Costco has them in stock pretty often, but I'm not paying an extra $200 membership fee just for the switch 2 lol

>>715828936
It only comes in a bundle at Costco. I think it comes with a year of NSO. Costco in store was a good place to buy the PS5 back when it was sold out everywhere but it came with another controller and a headset

>>715828936
>but I'm not paying an extra $200 membership fee just for the switch 2
that's where the "+tip" caveat comes in to play

not a console seller.

>>715828397
some retards want every game to be artificial difficulty where you have to die dozens of times building the muscle memory to do the exact input sequence the game expects

>>715832817
they probably don't have any in stock. is that a good reason?

>>715832881
They do I called and they still have 10 in stock.

>>715830730
Nintendo will never support PC due to piracy. They have said that low priced games devalue those games and that they prefer to make evergreen titles that can always be sold at full price aside from the rare occasional sale. This alone wouldn’t work on Steam or on PC storefronts and it would lead to their games being pirated as they already are via emulation. This is why they are aggressive with emulation and rom sites and even going after emulators and their developers.

>>715814823 (OP)
I don't think so, mostly because I believe everyone who would have bought a Switch 2 at this time has likely already done so. And if they haven't it's probably because of stock issues, not because of a lack of software

>>715833226
denuvo is basically uncrackable now, but nintendie probably wouldn't want to pay for that service

>>715814823 (OP)
No, personally im waiting for the next xenoblade before i but it.

>>715833112
It sounds like you've already made up your mind and you really just don't want to spend that much because you're worried you might wind up feeling stupid if you do.

>>715833226
they should probably make the games that they aren't currently selling available for purchase then, shouldn't they. But for whatever reason they don't. I'm not pirating Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland for the GBA because I don't want to pay nintendo for it.

>>715832817
You should get it. I got a Switch 2 precisely for DK because I don't want to wait for an emulator. DK general movement and moveset is fucking insane. If you're 3D platformer connoisseur, you're going to end up loving this game.

>>715833112

He still isn't Mario. And the game looks a lot of fun but why is it so fucking ugly? Odyssey had a much more pleasing
aesthetic.
>>715818473
I think he means the hardware itself being cheap compared with the asking price. And I agree with him. Seeing Bananza and Mariokart makes it hard for me to believe all those "equal to a PS4 in power" posts too because they don't look great.

Pokemon is in a weird spot because it technically isn't a Nintendo franchise. Gamefreak is more or less a 2nd party developer, and I don't think Nintendo is credited at all in Pokemon go. Being said I understand it is closely tied to Nintendo, but the world of trademarks is fucking stupid.

I mean in that anon's drawings. She SHOULD have pupils, but he did that retarded anime thing where they draw pupils but make them almost the same colour as the irises instead of black like a normal person.

I just beat the canyon layer, and it's okay, I guess. It controls really well, destroying stuff feels good, loli Pauline is super cute, and the mine cart boss was pretty neat. But the game's starting to feel repetitive and Void Co. hasn't really left an impression on me yet (though I appreciate that Grumpy Kong, the designated brute villain, isn't stupid). I know I've got K. Rool and the Kremlings to look forward to, but I don't know if they'll be enough to uplift a game that just isn't blowing me away so.
Also the big ugly stone monsters are super lame and pathetically easy, they're even worse enemies than the tikis were.

>>715814823 (OP)
I'm pretty sure it will sell a fair number of consoles but it isnt going to be a BOTW/New Horizons for the switch 2 no. It's more like their Odyssey. Which i dont think moved nearly as many consoles as many other switch 1 releases did. Not that it isnt a good game, but the normies just dont seem that interested.
I am really enjoying the game despite going into the game extremely skeptical. I think this game will have legs over the lifetime of the console but if nintendo expected this to be their BoTW they will be disappointed.

It probably won't even sell well until a 3d mario comes out then normies discover this game and it gets a second wind.

>>715817879
Switch 1 had an emulator its entire lifespan.

>>715814823 (OP)
For me, Mario Kart sold the Switch 2. This was just the cherry on top.

>>715838136
If the new 3D mario has a bunch of references to bananza, then that probably will be what happens.

>>715817995
This game was a dk seller. I think for sure they have a new 3D mario for christams they're holding back and if not they probably have some new ip in the vein of splatoon / arms.

>>715814823 (OP)
Nintendo shit slurper here, I just bought 2 Switches to play this game alone.

>>715819843
I think that was made in the wii era. There are actually a lot of things gamers take for granted that newcomers don't find too intuitive.

>>715837870
How many shekels did you sell it for and what did you buy with it?

>>715823156
They want to make the dk character a big deal. They probably realize all the brand potential they dropped with DK being the biggest arcade game not to mention popular with boomers on the nes and gameboy. The upcoming movie is another example of this but dk land was genuinely looking at their ips and realizing mario and zelda are the only real mainstream brands they have. Dk is third but way far back.

Does the zebra brake attack make anyone else think of the Blast Corps backlash?

Weird way of saying the most popular and iconic video game character of all time and the literal face of gaming but ok.

>>715823968
Its most likely this was intended to be a switch 1 game following odyssey instead of having a direct sequel but covid fucked it up.

>>715838446
It didn’t have a working emulator with playable commercial games for an entire year. You’re probably misremembering the WIi U emulator everybody used to play BotW. Also Nintendo wasn’t going after emulator developers back then and now they do. And Ukrainians aren’t making emulators because they probably got sent to the meat grinder

>>715823714
n64 just had no competition for games

>>715839180
Merging handheld and console lines was the best move they could've done.

>>715815762
500 is what you can get a PS5 for, which is a whole a generation ahead in terms of power.

>>715839350
Yes of course but my point is Mario was shoehorned into a lot of games and became popular because of those games

>>715825031
wii and switch were 2 popular consoles not the other way around. no one bought wii u for dk tropical freeze but splatoon and mario maker did make an uptick.

>>715839617
It sure doesn’t look like it. Barely looks different from PS4. Same issue with the Pro which is even more pronounced. It’s almost as if making games that take full advantage of the hardware is too hard and too expensive and too much diminishing returns so they just up the res and frame rate and put out something that’s just a shinier version of a PS4 game. That and the hardware is no longer holding back the art so if the art is shit you can’t blame the hardware. Also a PS5 isn’t portable and is quite frankly one of the ugliest things you could ever have sitting next to a TV

>>715826396

So what? They'll inevitably move on like the always do. Most consoles had lagging pokemon titles.

>>715839180
so what's up for next month?

>>715840324
Pikachu's Baby Club. Basically a nintendogs clone but with Pikachu instead of Pichu

>>715834386
Nintendo can't demand anything they want from gamefreak. Pokemon could have saved n64, gamecube and maybe even wii u but they refuse to do anything but spinoffs for consoles.

>>715836567
I think they expected mkw to be their botw but...

Is there a site which graphs switch 2 sales week by week?

>>715839180
If only they made new ips anymore

>>715840481
the gamecube had two legitimate pokemon spinoffs on it that were compatible with the main series, pokemon coliseum and pokemon lugia XD

>>715840730
If only you stopped seething like a little bitch

>>715839489
>for an entire year
and the switch lasted like what 7? thats barely anything. They had a patreon up even in the beginning also most people don't even buy a console year one not to mention actually getting around to playing it. As far as I remember games had 4k pc "upgrades" day and date since xenoblade 2.

>>715839612
All that really happened is they stopped making handheld games. I think mario and luigi was the last true one. Maybe that weird zelda game but I never played it.

Only mainline Zelda games are system sellers.

>>715839843

>>715841107
Thats only ever been true for botw. Totk sold less and was just sold to botw owners. More people even bought botw compared to totk after then initial release sales. Before you mention oot thats historical revisionism due to its lingering cultural impact but zelda games were never really big sellers just staple games.

>>715840737

what did you think about the subspace emissary

https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/nintendo-switch-2-all-confirmed-games-and-release-dates
bleak

>>715841912
Loved the concept and cutscenes. Would have been better as a melee style adventure mode just actually fleshed out this time instead of just 2 adventure levels. SSE was a little to gray bland dark and samey not to mention went on too long. I'll admit I liked some of the enemies though and tabuu I hope comes back someday as a fighter like mini tabuu.

>>715814823 (OP)
yeah, I think switch 2 probably sells way fewer units if this game didn't exist and the console had 0 games until the duskbloods or whatever the first exclusive would be if it didn't exist

actually where are the exclusives, is it literally just this, duskbloods and splatoon raiders?

that doesn't seem right... where the fuck are the games

>>715840982
With glitches, frame rate issues, the occasional crash, shader cache stuttering, no online and rarely any patches. Some games run great, some don’t. Autism and patience are required regardless. Can we please stop pretending that emulation of most 3D games made in the last 25 years is a plug and play experience?

How do you guys know if a game moves a system? Just how many systems sell at the time of release? Aren't nintendo games mostly evergreen titles? Not to mention most people wait for a saturation point of a full library before buying a console thats 5-7 times the price of a single game. Unless you have attach rates or games bought with console I don't see how you're determining this.

>>715841853
my problem with smash kart is that it almost barely matters which character you pick. you could make a grand prix through pop star, inkopolis, forest of hope, diamond city. neat. what happens next? you see jimmy and ashley in the background and now you're pissed that they aren't actual playable characters. well, only mad that one of them isn't playable but not the other.

>>715842193
Its seems waaaaaay likely they're hiding something for november and december. If not thats like really fucking weird lmao even switch 1 had a major drought the past 2 years.

>>715842101
desu i wonder if they hid jigglypuff post game is because it actually made the game really easy

>>715814823 (OP)
Considering they still can't keep up with demand I don't imagine we will see and increase in console sales and it will stay consistently as high as they can produce

>>715842464
if there isn't a direct within the next week or so where they announce a bunch of stuff, that'll be pretty grim

>>715842383
But this isn't mario kart. The would actually have the opportunity to make them play different. F zero and kirby have a leg up since they already have distinct styles to pull from.

>>715842519
>Considering they still can't keep up with demand
where are you guys getting this idea? They initally overproduced then slowed down after sales dropped off.

>>715842540
Welcome to the new normal.

>>715815105
Why is /v/ so braindead???

>>715842340
It’s subjective. BotW definitely helped drive Switch sales. It had the highest attach rate of all time selling more copies and than consoles for a bit. But it was also on the Wii U and was definitely not selling Wii Us… nor would it have had it not been also released on Switch. Wii Sports, especially bowling, drove Wii sales because people bought the Wii just to play it and it was a fad. But it was also a pack in. Mario 64 drove N64 sales but was one of the only games on the console. Tetris sold Game Boys but again was a pack in for most (if not all) markets. Other than these I don’t think any game was really ever a system seller. Not SMB1, not Sonic, not Halo, etc. and certainly not anything on the PlayStation consoles

>>715842696
Because we still see lotteries for them

>>715842898

its over

>>715842464
Exactly. MKW and DKB would have been released during that drought had they not moved them to the new console. TOTK was too late in development but IMO should have been held back too considering how much better it is on Switch 2. But then they wouldn’t have had a major release unless you count games like Pikmin 4 and Mario Wonder as major releases. But they’ve got something major for October or November that isn’t Metroid Prime 4

>>715841347
I never realized that Part Time UFO started on mobile.

>>715841313
>thirdie learns words that aren't in the textbook

K. Rool and Void Kong are probably coming to MKW. As far as I know, they don't voice anyone currently in the game.

>>715842340
>How do you guys know if a game moves a system?
With exclusives it's actually really easy because you can't find those games anywhere else so the more games sell, the bigger system sellers they are.

>Aren't nintendo games mostly evergreen titles?
Not everything is like BOTW/TOTK, the prestige titles, people are probably still gonna buy a Switch 2 for those titles for years to come. But Nintendo has a lot of titles that people would buy if people own the system or they knew how fun they were but the hard part is selling them a system and actually reaching them in the first place

>Not to mention most people wait for a saturation point of a full library before buying a console thats 5-7 times the price of a single game
Casuals probably don't think that way. One day they get pissed off they've wasted too much money on some gacha game and they uninstall and buy a Switch 2 the next day.

i own a switch 2 but im not going to buy dk bananza sorry everyone i just dont feel like it

>>715842951
>It had the highest attach rate of all time selling more copies and than consoles for a bit
huh? how does this make any sense? you mean like their were more switch + wii u copies sold than switches? or people were actually buying two copies of breath of the wild on switch?

It feels like a gamecube era game in a good way.
I mean the vibe of course, a gamecube wouldn't be able to sustain a large multi-layered voxel level in memory without resetting its state in chunks.

>>715843369
>Metroid Prime 4
probably won't even release this year itself

>>715845137
brand consistency

>>715845252
>because you can't find those games anywhere else so the more games sell, the bigger system sellers they are
I mean as opposed to people who already owned the system that just bought those games because they were on it. Like someone may buy mario and luigi because they already own a switch but wouldn't be willing to buy one just to play that game. That might not have been true for odyssey though, maybe they would have bought a switch even if that was the only mario game on it who knows.

>>715815284
>fastest selling system in history is another WiiU

why do people reply to such obvious bait?

>>715845758
>Like someone may buy mario and luigi because they already own a switch but wouldn't be willing to buy one just to play that game.
Exactly. I think a system seller are the titles that brings FOMO, people don't wanna miss out.
Nintendo got a lot of "old" system sellers which is great but if they want to keep momentum and sell 150+ million again they need new ones, in my opinion they already got two with MKW and DKB. DKB is like fun crack.
