Nintendo

I have never played it. Can't wait for the release.

My body is Reggie!

Agree, never finished the PS2 version. Would have like to see the option to play either the original or the 2D remake.

Nintendo is really starting to push Pikmin again and I love it. Glad to have all the games on the switch. Capitalize on the popularity of the system to grow the franchise. Hopefully it's not another 25 years this time!

Haha, let's hope we don't have to wait that long, but you never know with Nintendo, if they think they don't have any new idea for the game, it is going to disappear in their locker for next 20 years.

I wasn't a huge fan of the NSMB series, and it always felt like they were just playing it safe. This one seems to have a similar look, but it appears they are trying some really original ideas with it.

Yeah, it looks really fun. And not just new 2D Mario. Super Mario RPG Remake and Detective Pikachu, not to mention teaser for a new Princess Peach game.

First 2 games were on PS3, so should run fine. Even Arkham Knight was early PS4, so with good optimization shouldn't be a big issue.

Will have to wait and see the actual port.

I remember reading somewhere long ago that the shield tv had the processing & gaming power of an Xbox 360. The shield tv shares the same chip as the Switch, And those games are X360 era. In practice though it doesn't seem to work very well.

A Wind Waker HD version for Switch would literally be the fastest way for Nintendo to get money from me.

No such mention in the Direct.

Been playing it for a couple of months now on pc. It's cozy and chill. There are lots of little quests. Skills to develop (eg gathering/fishing/mining/gardening etc). NPC's to interact with and run errands for.

The only "combat" element is hunting. No fighting. (Whether that's a pro/con is a personal preference ofcourse.)

You need other players for small stuff, like chopping magical trees. Which most players are quite chill about and can be arranged on the spot. No need to join an established guild or something.

For late game, (when you have maxed all NPC's) the progress is in building/furnishing/beautifying a house, and for the completionists: catching all bugs/fish, craft all furniture, finding all the little secret quests.

The only paid content are outfits & pets. Purely cosmetic. They stated that they will keep it that way, and so far so good. So if you wish to support the company, you can. If not, there is no need to.

Looked a bit generic but may be fun w/ non-gamer partner

Little skeeved out by the free to play bit tho...

I think it was a good Direct. No Metroid Prime 2+3 Remaster though.

If it's a Switch footage, I won't mind picking it up on Switch.

Probably one of the darkest entries in the series.

Nope😭😭😭
