I'm already annoyed with how bouncy the avatars are when the person is talking

Game chat, a new feature for...2013! Pro controller looks nice

First launch title confirmed.

You can play as the cow! GOTY

I think that ship has sailed

On their site they say up to £2000 can be on interest free credit so presumably no premium under that price. They may have put £500 simply because if they have to go lower customers will be happy, but if the price was higher they'd lose out because customers would still be entitled to that price so better to guess high.

Yeah I saw a screenshot of a tweet (or maybe bluesky post) with the price listed but with I checked it was TBC but I guess the installment thing would be an oversight.

May be a placeholder of course but Simply Games is offering it for 3 installments of £166.66. In other words, £500. https://www.simplygames.com/p/nintendo-switch-2-nintendo-switch

I almost posted that this morning to beat you to it but the reason I didn't is because I realised it would be 32 hours and couldn't be bothered to Photoshop.

Ugh I hope not. His ego is big enough as it is.

As suggested by @Julius, given there may be a rush/scarcity this will be a place to give people a heads up about where to find them. The topic is set to unlock when the Direct starts which is a feature I've never used before but fingers crossed!

Having never used the groups thing and you saying it was done in a boring way I thought all the labels were automatic and got to "indie/other" and thought that was a bit dismissive of Nintendo and then saw "complete and utter..." and for a brief moment still thought it was Nintendo.

I think that's a 50/50 chance the direct will convince me to either get a Switch 2 or a GameCube. Either going forward or going backwards, we'll see!

I wonder if they'd do a kind of "this is for launch, these are for 'launch window' and these are our plans for the first year" and it's just very short teases/confirmation. Do we know the length yet? Part of it will be the console of course, then cross compatibility/upgrades and then games so I could see them being fairly short and then have another direct before launch going into more details of the games.

Would be amusing if each film was unrelated to the others and had different actors playing Link.

Somebody else pointed this out but now I can't unsee it:

I was thinking it would be clearer if it was in the blue banner at the top. Just feels a bit lost down there. Like this!

I hate to break it to you but 9:30 is not dawn.

That's fine with me. I'm always game for more threads.

@Cubechris is on the same wavelength when it comes to Nintendo Today: https://overkill.wtf/nintendo-today-app-zelda-film-sorry-twitter/

But like...they could have announced it exactly 2 years before. That's what the hero of time would have wanted.

Is the date of something two years away that big a bombshell? My bigger question is why they didn't announce it two days ago.

YouTube is Nintendo Yesterday now.

I downloaded it, nothing loaded and I uninstalled it. May try again when things have calmed down and the initial interest has died off.

I'd assume "don't worry, the switch isn't dying". I think with being able to play switch games on the 2 they're hoping some people who may not want the 2 yet might be encouraged to get the switch knowing the support will continue for a while and when they're ready to get the 2 they'll have plenty of games they can play.
