I don't think there will be anything of the sort. Probably just updates on already announced 3ds games, details and rehear dates for Arms and Splatoon 2, and updated release dates for some Indie games.

anytime people complain about that "stealth" mission I just lmao, I beat it in like 3 minutes the first time it happened. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because apparently this MGS For Toddlers mission was "bad" enough to warrant an entire Kotaku article on it. I think one of the editors even said it was longer and worse than Chapter 13 in FF15 so that's when I assumed everyone was on bath salts

also shut the gently caress up, Methodis

Echoing the "feel like I'm taking crazy pills" sentiment, I was skimming this because I thought people were talking about some part I hadn't gotten to yet, then I got fed up and clicked a spoiler and realized what part people were talking about and holy crap what is wrong with you guys?! I'm not even good at games it's just not difficult, it's not anything, you just walk in a nearly straight line for a few minutes.

In my dreams, they announce that in addition to every previous VC game becoming available immediately on the Switch, you get free copies of every game you've purchased on the 3DS and WiiU :allears:

Honestly, I wouldn't even be too mad if Nintendo didn't transfer older purchases currently if they'd actually go out and say, "Hey from now on we'll try to keep future purchases transferable for future generations".

I don't even have much of a problem with transfer fees (since it still probably takes some effort to build a new emulator with proper features on new consoles), but it'd have to be ridiculously cheap and not $1 per game or something.

Hey guys. Nintendo won't transfer the older purchases. Should just nip that in the bud now before you get disappointed.

I actually prefer giving games separate icons. But whichever way they do it, there should be a common interface and settings when you boot up VC games. Like, if I create a control scheme for one game, I should be able to save it and quickly apply it to other games, instead of having to change the button mapping for every single title.

MK8D for 2500 RUB/44 USD. Not a bad deal but I can't get mad about someone else buying a switch a month after launch and getting a slightly better deal than I did.

Yeah I mean you know what you are getting in to when you buy a console, especially a Nintendo console, on release day. Considering the game is an enhanced port of a previous gen title, it's not surprising at all to see.

Nintendo wants to move those 16mil units this FY. They are gonna go hard.
