It's not. They specifically said that announcement wouldn't be about Switch or mobile games.

It's gonna be about a Switch game, not the Switch itself.

Or possibly just a bunch of DLC for Monster Hunter Stories

Also, publishers probably won't be bringing the big expensive guns to Switch for at least the first year because they'd want to wait and see if it craters first.

We're going to get rereleases from the PS4/XBO that everyone already has, and then when it's not selling they'll be like "Why are our games not selling?" and drop support

I've heard it's basically Sticker Star 2, but significantly improved. I still don't know why Nintendo is so determined to avoid story stuff like the plague these days, even in a series that used to have real stories.

Miyamoto isn't a fan of Mario having a story.

I think that dates back to the plot stuff for Rosalina in Galaxy essentially being snuck in behind his back.

It has plenty of story. It's more like a series of television episodes than movies, but every single level tells a story, and some chapters weave several of them together into an overarching story for that chapter.

Yeah but there's no blatant exposition or dialog. Any story in Mario is one you make up for yourself from observing the world around Mario.

Basically I'm saying Mario was probably the inspiration for Dark Souls.

Did Rosalina skyrocketing to becoming one of the more popular Mario characters not convince him that this might not be quite right?

Okay, how about just including unique characters in Paper Mario instead of just more nameless, identical Toads? They don't have to be really original, just a costume and a name would be a nice change. Hell, there are hundreds of old characters in the series that could be put in somewhere that don't get to do much. Daisy and Waluigi would kill to be in something other than a sports title or Mario Party.

Some things are simple, some things are not so simple. Steam and half-assed in-game support will gently caress up your custom bindings, XInput has killed the market for pads with more buttons/axes, unsigned driver restrictions also limit the feasibility of non-standard gamepad use. Steam Big Picture is cool except even games with good gamepad support will force you to use mouse/keyboard to gently caress with their launcher and text input, also adding custom links to non-steam games such as emulated games with per-game settings configuration is a drat hassle and impossible to do without m/kbd.

Wireless Internet/inputs is more of a general quality of life improvement compared to 2004, it's not any easier to set up.

I mean I do appreciate the improvements to 10' functionality in Windows but it never goes very deep, you'll never have much couch time before having to reach for your keyboard (with a deep sigh ofc)

i just plug a laptop in to my tv and have a cheap wireless keyboard + trackpad dude drat lol you make it sound like building an airplane from a kit
