I haven't played the game and I don't know the story. But I enjoy the show a lot and I think it so far works the way they have directed it, even though it supposedly deviates from the source material.

That was a stealthy release - no announced release date, no launch trailer, no nothing?

I'm looking forward to getting a new console and a new Mario Kart. Yeah, it sorely misses a first party single player game, and it baffles me they didn't just release DK Bananza along with the console, but I think they want to give third party games a better chance at performing well. Game prices have gone up but so has development and everything else. Hopefully they don't release many games at the highest price tag, though, but their dead certain bangers are going to be that price. Smash, Zelda and Mario main games I guess. I'll probably be playing a few of my backlog games on Switch 2 initially but that's fine, the better and bigger screen and controller is a good enough reason for getting it early.

That was a nice trailer. Sells the movie way better than the previous one. But... I feel like Galactus should be like... Way bigger.

Yeah. But has it been explcitly stated that it works on Switch 1? I think it's very surprising and it will definitely make an impact here at home because I'll keep the OG Switch for my children.

Apparently, GameShare also works on Switch 1 (on this game at least). https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/04/switch-2-split-fiction-owners-can-apparently-use-gameshare-to-invite-nintendo-switch-players: "Split Fiction will take advantage of the new Nintendo Switch 2 system features GameShare and GameChat. GameShare will enable Nintendo Switch 2 owners to invite another player to play together over a local wireless connection using just one copy of the game. This "other player" can be not only a Nintendo Switch 2 owner but a Nintendo Switch owner as well."

I'm very surprised that this is added in... One would expect to be able to play Versus offline from the very beginning?

Im still unsure if I will enjoy the game very much but I am damn sure that my two sons will! They are going to have a blast going through levels, destroying everything. It's not that I don't think it looks good but from what I've seen I need some more objectives and such. We'll see, since you guys mention Odyssey around this, there might be more to it. Will need to watch more Treehouse from this. It comes out during my family vacation, though, and even on my wife's birthday, so will probably have to wait a few days to actually play the game.

Just out in a pre-order for the bundle with Mario Kart World, a Pro Controller and a carrying case. But as I said before, June 5th is a bank holiday in Denmark and I am home alone with all my children so can't really get it on release day!

Sorry for highjacking but I have to show my frustration somewhere. Trump just crashed the entire stock market everywhere. That's insane but furthermore, he showed off a formula for calculating tariffs for individual regions, it reads: Now, this looks complicated but they put Epsilon to 4 and Phi to 1/4, so multiplying them gets rid of them. Seriously, did they just publish a formula with redundant stuff just to make it look more complicated?? A relatively civilised country does this so blatantly?? Jeez!

Well, Drag x Drive is pretty heavy on mouse con usage. But yeah, they should have shown it used more in MP4. It also made me wonder where they imagine people playing Switch 2 games. I sit in my couch, I don't imagine the mouse con being very comfortable to use there.

Yeah. The first half of this was a tough watch, them getting on and ok about voice chat like it's something new, and then showing EyeToy like games... Hard pass on that. Mario Kart Worlds looks great, but it's a multiplayer game for me. So what to play when getting the console? And that tutorial game? Why isn't that bundled with the console, no-one will pay for that!? So, yeah, wheelchair basketball, but the controls look really awful. Cant see that getting much support in the long run, though the idea is neat. Lots of third parties, but all older games, while the new ones didn't really tickle me. Ending with Kirby Air Riders and a new DK game was really surprising, though! Got a good laugh at that! Smart move not to mention pricing, though. That would have soured the dough quite a bit. Also, June 5th is a national holiday here in Denmark, so might not be able to get the console until June 6th!

Hah. That's funny too!

Sorry, but I really laughed at the spelling error in the title. Office humour. Looks good, wonder if it'll be fun in single player.

Probably a placeholder price in the high end. I don't know about British rules but in Denmark, if you order something for a certain price, even if the price goes up before the product is available, you get it at the price you ordered it for - but if it goes down, you get it for the cheaper price. Thus, shops set the price tag high enough to guarantee that they do not lose money on the product.
