On a similar note, is there any word about Dragon Quest Heroes getting a US release?

What I'm trying to say is, have you bought PPT yet? Everyone should buy PuyoTetris.

they included keychains with the physical version to justify the higher price

Yeah I'd expect Nintendo to save big game announcements for a Nintendo Direct. E3 isn't the huge deal it used to be in general thanks to the internet, and Nintendo has their own platform that they can use to make headlines at a less crowded time.

E3 has definitely changed, but no new game announcements at E3 would create a very distracting narrative. All they need is a couple trailers like Mario Odyssey's January trailer for currently unannounced games to keep the excitement going.

More importantly, there's a much bigger problem if Nintendo doesn't have multiple games far enough in development to show off a trailer or two at E3, and then have something for a surprise announcement a couple months later.

It's $27 on PC (both the full and Windows 10 Editions the latter is on sale right now though), $30 on Wii U and I think the 360 version was severely limited. Not sure if the Xbone and PS4 are limited like the 360 version was though.

If Minecraft on the Switch isn't limited and comes with Nintendo poo poo I think $30 is fair game.

the 360 version was limited on world size. the ps4 version is still limited on world size but its much larger. the switch version will also have to be limited for the same reasons the other versions are but assumably to the same size as the ps4 version. the ps4 version is cheaper than the pc version because of this limitation. the switch version will be more expensive than both.

Nintendo does usually by Sony is happy to announce and show of trailers for games that won't be out for years, or just announce a Kickstarter for such a game, and get huge accolades for it. Nintendo should get in on that.

sony announces games coming out soon, games coming out later, and the kickstarter stuff. nintendo shows one game over three shows.

Typical bad internet nintendo design :sigh:

Really wish you could just queue up for different speeds. If you want to play 150 you don't want to be thrown into 200, and if you wanna play 200 it feels weird to have to play 100 and 150 until you rank up enough to suddenly start doing that.

Guess that's what tournaments are for, but that's awkward.

The PS4 version, that is $19.99, includes no mods or extras. It's just the base game.
The Switch version includes:

"Nintendo's website posted:

Minecraft on Nintendo Switch includes six content packs in addition to the Super Mario Mash Up which delivers:

40 Super Mario‐themed skins including Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach, as well as troublemakers like Bowser, Wario and all seven Koopalings
Super Mario World itself! Professional Minecraft builders have remade the likeness of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond, with Mario‐themed versions of the Overworld, The Nether and The End for you to explore.
So many Mario‐inspired surprises to discover, from islands shaped like Warp Pipes to towering sculptures of Nintendo's iconic characters. We've recreated villainous hideouts, too: like Bowser's Castle, Bowser's ship, and Boo's House.
Super Mario‐style textures, numerous Mario‐themed puzzles, dozens of character skins and music from Super Mario 64 to enjoy

I'd say that's worth the extra $10.

That's cool but I hope normal 150cc still shows up at high levels.

200cc is definitely doable with heavy faster setups. You just need to drift earlier. I'm so used to it now that switching to lightweight characters with tighter handling fucks me up.

Introducing mirror right away makes it kinda pointless. It was a bigger deal on like, N64, where you had to beat everything and get used to all the maps long before you unlocked it.

Still cool to have though.

If Nintendo brings literally more than 1 game this time I think they'll be fine.

Nintendo could bring a bunch of kiosks with BotW save files that have everything unlocked and they'd still get swarmed.

Realistically, I think most people are expecting them to show some more of Mario Odyssey and do a major reveal or two. Alternately, the entirety of their presentation is "full Pokemon game in development for the Switch, a short playable demo will be available later today" and then they just watch the internet go apeshit.
