Managed to snag a GameCube controller fairly quickly after waiting 30 seconds in a queue of 12 people. Definitely going to try and source the system locally on launch day though. Managed to get the OLED with zero issues on day 1 here, so I hope the same will be true of this one.

Really looking forward to this one. Put ~80 hours into the OG on Switch and loved every second of it. This is a rogue-like done properly and I bought it on a whim for £3 in a sale. Will be interesting to see how the switch to 3D changes things up.

I'm seeing a lot of misreadings of the Game-Key Cards online. Some people claiming ALL games will be a key card. Clearly not. But yes, it does seem that this is replacing the slip of paper, code-in-a-box physical we got with some Switch OG games. It seems Key-Card does not register the game to your account, hence needing the cartridge to be inserted. I do think this means resale, trading, lending to friends etc will be possible, which is obviously a much better system than Switch 1.

Big flex

It's cray cray that we get these two games but the cowards won't even give us R/B & G/S on the GameBoy app.

Congratulations on your Switch 2 launch budget.

Same. Fast RMX was my 2nd Switch game after BOTW and it was awesome.

That's FANTASTIC!

Probably going for a BOTW / TOTK thing with it. They know it will sell well, so they bump the price up. I remember paying £70 for BOTW on launch from GAME because GAME. That was the RRP (phys & digital) at least, even if many places sold it below that. I think the standard is going to be £66 and the "big games" will have a £75 price tag. Nintendo's cheaper digital prices ain't gonna be fooling me tho. No sir. I'm going Olivia Newton-John for every major release this gen.

Kinda disappointing stream overall to some extent - I was honestly expecting WAY more first-party stuff, but the things they gave us look great anyway. DK and MK look incredible and I can't wait to play them. Seeing BOTW and TOTK in 60fps was wonderful, Kirby too. I'll be upgrading them all. My poor wallet. Too much third party stuff IMO, and most of these games I don't care about or already own on PC, but it's very good to see Nintendo courting so many of them, only a good thing in the grand scheme of things. Absolutely amazing that we go the trifecta of 120hz, HDR and 4K. This genuinely surprised me and I cannot wait to see how 1st and 3rd party devs use all of the tech (and input options) available to them. GameCube was kinda expected but still a massive shock to see Soul Calibur II and F-Zero GX there on day 1. Two of my very favourite game from that gen. I cannot wait!

Wow! I just noticed this too! This is the first time a direct has ever been in 4K

New F-Zero for me. Something that blends elements of SNES, X and GX would be nice. 99 was great, but I'd like a proper new entry in the series.

I can see it now. 6-7 years of Direct segments dedicated to upgraded Switch games. June 2025: Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild™ - Nintendo Switch 2™ Edition!! Dropping in the e-shop right after this trailer!!! December 2025: Super Mario Odyssey™ - Nintendo Switch 2™ Edition!! Dropping in the e-shop right after this trailer!!! Repeat Ad Nauseum until... December 2030: Donkey Kong Country Returns™: HD Remake - Nintendo Switch 2™ Edition!! Dropping in the e-shop right after this trailer!!!

...which we are quite clearly, based on that wording, going to need to pay for...
