Listen Nintendo, I'm totally game for competitive robo-punchout. That sounds cool, but that skit? No, bad Nintendo.

Yikes. I think I'll keep my Zelda Wii U pre-order.

I'll check back in on the Switch in 2018 or 2019.

Huh, it's actually Splatoon 2. There goes that port rumor.

Oh my god, RIP my love affair with Splatoon. That looks like DLC, not a sequel. :( I can't justify $500+ just to play that

It was a 30-second trailer and it's like five months away, you don't think you're being slightly over dramatic?

Holy **** the pop-in and animations on the background NPC's is awful in this Mario game.

Edit: The rest of the game looked fine, but that one city level was just bad.

Edit: Spoke too soon. That promo was heavily saying the word 'HOME'.

LAN gaming is nice but 2.5 hours is pushing it.
constant wi-fi usage for online play cuts battery down a good quarter, so battery probably won't last longer than 1.5 to 2 hours tops for multiplayer

3DS will still be very much alive after this, as $399 puts it in a very premium price point

Of course I'm being over dramatic.

I hope not. My work commute is 2 hours each way. I would actually be concerned about the overall lifespan of the battery.

Don't worry, they have an entire year to work on that. Lol

Please God, no more shitty motion control games. If they simply spent the money that they use on the gyro's in the controller on a 3DS slot I think a lot of people would of been a lot happier.

^You changed pretty fast.

No. Don't ruin Fire Emblem with Dynasty Warriors. Excited for Super Mario and Xenoblade though.

Was that SMTV?

Edit: Yep, but it's SMT x Fire Emblem all over again. Way the hell too early to announce it.

Not really. I like games, whether or not Nintendo is cocking up everything else doesn't change that Xenoblade 2 is probably going to be amazing and Hyrule Warriors was fun (Stupid, but fun), so Fire Emblem Musou probably will be too.

Oh man, did they not prepare scripts for the translators in advance?
