So glad I preordered mine :o

Word. Watching the presentation live at 5am really worked out.

Sigh....

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe passed the 1 million sales mark for April, which is pretty impressive since it came out on the 28th, and is basically a port

This link keeps upsetting me.

Fuck. Gamestop has then in stock but only selling in crazy bundles. Don't want shit like Has Been Heroes.

Going to sleep on it. 500 dollars to play Zelda basically. Not sure I even care about Mario Cart honestly.

Help.... I know Mario Cart is awesome but I already beat everything on the Wii U. Not a fan of buying a game a second time. Other bundle comes with some snipperclips game and memory crap. Fuck that.

Never say fuck Snipperclips assuming you have a friend. Fantastic game.

Snipperclips is great but yeah the Switch as a whole is much less exciting if all you're ever going to do is play solo. Zelda will give you 100+ hours but after that the console really shines in co-op

Rime was notable for being $10 more expensive on the Switch compared to other platforms, which is apparently due to the cart, but Nintendo wanted pricing to be on par between the digital and retail versions which fucked that up.

Looks like Nintendo has allowed different prices now as Rime will be $29.99 digitally on Switch while physical still has to stay at the higher price or sell at a loss. The retail version now has a code for the OST.

Maybe some kids need bullying

Ya agreed. Mainly, I don't want to buy a bundle with crap I don't like. Not buying Mario Cart 8 again for a few changes.

Walmart flash sale lasted like 5 minutes. Went to checkout and it was out of stock.

Splatoon 2 trailer at the end too.

Still a terrible name

Should be called Splatoons.

The Neon ones are up on Amazon.com for Prime members only. Trial works.

EDIT: Annnnd they're gone.

Damn, I really want those neon joycons, for my 2nd pair. I will probably end up grabbing Arms in physical form if there's a physical bundle with them

(did not watch Direct, was laying in bed dying all day; that's what they're going to do right?)

oh nvm the direct isn't until 6:00 EST

guess I will watch it to find out...

What does Nintendo know? Do they know things? Let's find out!

I mean "ARMS"

It should be called ARM

The new characters got leaked.

White Mask = Kid Cobra
New White-Haired Girl = Twintelle
Blue Robot Dude = Byte & Barq

For those interested in Hollow Knight for the Switch, the developer recently stated they hired another dev team to help out with the port of the game. Basically lets them speed up the time needed for the port rather than them doing it just by themselves.

Getting some real Sunset Overdrive vibes.

Hooray...?

I'm going to be humming this shit for years

I'm tentatively HYPED for this game

lmao they patched out the Inkling Girl gesture that looked like she was flipping off the opponent in MK8D

tl;dr

before


after

And, even though the notes themselves are relatively uneventful, it's rare to get actual patchnotes from Nintendo!

Version 1.1

• Opponents’ names are displayed in the rear view mirror view in online matches.
• Invincibility period after a spin-out or crash is longer in online matches.
• Up to two players can spectate a friend group while they wait to join.
• “Worldwide” and “Regional” modes add players to Mirror and 200cc matches less often.
• Can now properly create a friend lobby when you have 100 or more friends.
• Inkling Girl’s animation has been adjusted.
• Starting positions in online races now properly reflect the order in which players join.
• Driver Miis now properly showing facial expressions.

(but no stability update... Nintendo getting lazy)

You motherfuckers Nintendo. Just making me want to give them money
