I think they could make a less buggy DK 64

and it would do well

give me a buggy version and I'll try it

anyway, original question I think we get a DK spin-off on the Switch 2 in year 1, next mainline game 2027

DK does seem like a good 2 year into the console lifespan hype game during a direct

its not a good launch series

that is going to be the new 3D mario

we're going to get a Mario Wonder++ DLC thing imo

and that'll be the only launch year 2D platformer

Wonder DLC is possible, but they are for sure cooking the new 3D mario

oh 100%

Its been so long since odyssey, and that did not even get DLC

no paid DLC at least

the Mario Party release time is also weird to me, feels like they should have held that for Switch 2

I think they wanted to get as many final switch console sales before releasing the same console

since they can double dip

yes, games are cross-platform

but it's still less hype

Honestly, they already released the best mario game since mario party 5

I don't think it matters when the released it

I heard the new one is good

damn

I still don't think I care, and will enevitably just get the next one after it though

I agree with Polu that motion control gating minigames is still bad

and the non-board MP modes are all gimicky

Mario party is a good "everyone gets it and we play 20-30 games of it" game

I just really don't know if I'm getting a Switch 2

You promised you'd get one when Kirby drops 1 year into its lifespan

as recompense

I just resent the lack of performance for 1st party games

emuation will always be the way to go

I do not bother emulating modern consoles, too much effort

not to take anything for granted, since it's a lot of work on the internet autists

now that nintendo owns both switch emulators, they are official nintendo software 👍

Honestly, that should've been Nintendo's powermove

I don't think I understand the pov Pika, but I'm not trying to change your mind on that

release an emulator thats super locked down and you can play like 3 things

Links Awakening was the last Switch game I bought I think

and since I've just emulated the stuff I wanted to try

I bought the TYD remake

I am also just too busy to play games

oh, I bought that one too

that was when I was moving

I forgot completely

I think that one might have been a leftover game voucher thing

There are modern games I would emulate. If shadow generations gets cracked I'll play it illegally

Mario Wonder was perfect for that to me

I wanted to try it, zero chance I'd ever buy it though

when i tried emulating link's awakening it was more performant on hardware

Mario Wonder was a decent game that is mired by being way too easy even for mario standards

I think it was the least difficult super 100% postgame content from any of the mario's I've 100%'d

i'll use XCX as a benchmark game for the new console if I do buy both

Nintendo has the benifit of no other console being worth owning

so you just buy one nintendo console every 10 years

Their issue is online is not a must-have for their games, and performance is lacking enough that you get such a better experience emulating (most of the time)

Oh for sure, I don't doubt you get better preformance

the couple games that I'd describe as killer apps, have had underwhelming last installments or have been absent for so long idk what to expect

I think the only game I had performance issues with was fire emblem warriors 2, which crashed my switch

but that only happened once

I regretted buying BotW2

it ran so bad

I ended up playing it emulated

I did not have any issues with it

it ran at 20FPS for me

Well, I did not have any preformance issues for it

I had plenty of issues with it!

lol, that too

I can't remember if there were any other games that I actually put down to emulate instead

I finished Treehouse on-hardware, and most of the early life Switch games

I pray a 3D zelda that is not BotW style open world comes before Kirby in 2050

I fear we never get one

I hated TotK, but would love more BotW games

Strong disagree, they were both just okay

I'd have been more forgiving if TotK didn't take so long to make

I don't think you can do what BotW did more than once

it was amusing, but now the intrigue is gone because we live in a post botw world

issue is if you're trying to make another BotW (different map aside) it's hard to be different enough and still be fun

Yeah

so they'll have to change it up a lot

I think if they kept it open world, but went back to a set inventory like onlder games
