Support NeoGAF

[Davevil]

random thoughts: too much like the first one, dock that covers the screen again, joycon mouse are bullshit

 

[Pedro Motta]

Let's goooo day one.

 

[ungalo]

that's a lame trailer lol

 

[Gonzito]

The video is very underwhelming. Not much information either

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Mario Kart 9

I personally couldn't even tell if this was from some MK8 addon or the new MK and I'm dead serious, not joking

 

[ManaByte]

dock that covers the screen again

Why is that a problem? Or just looking for something to complain about?

 

[darth.shrimp]

At least it seems the leaks about what it looks like were 100% correct. I wouldn't be surprised if there actually are physical units in circulation in the Chinese black market like what had been reported last week.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Basically nothing new that we didn't already know. What we were expecting will be April 2nd.

I guess the Mario Kart footage is new, but honestly it just looks like it COULD be a rerelease of 8 with updates/new content.

 

[LordOcidax]

That was a really cool trailer.

 

[808mate]

It's definitely more Switch.

 

[Sephimoth]

Backwards compat, nice

 

[adamsapple]

Nate: "They called me a mad man."

 

[zedim]

Please someone tell me this is mario kart 8, it looks exactly the same

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Backwards compat, nice

But not with everything, so akin of PS4 emulation it seems.

 

[LordCBH]

Be Nintendo
See fans are ravenous for Switch 2
Drops random trailer with no hype
“Please wait months for actual information.”

 

[MMaRsu]

Well, it's a Switch 2! Pretty lame announcement video though

 

[MiguelItUp]

That's what I was wondering. Graphically it looks almost identical to MK8DX, but that looks like a new track?

Is this Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Deluxe? lol.

Honestly with all the "remastering" they've been doing, I wouldn't put it past them, lol.

 

[ManaByte]

The Switch just out sold the PS2 in the US.

Anyone underestimating this is huffing hopium.

 

[DryvBy]

Where is Halo?

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Even Apple is not this economical when it comes to hyping up their iterative (same?) iPhone.

 

[Davevil]

Why is that a problem? Or just looking for something to complain about?

calm down
I find it idiotic because you could use the screen plus the TV together

 

[ReBurn]

Nice, I'll take one.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

No Japan is year month day

It has ESRB rating on the screen, this is US-centric video and date format. It's Feb 2nd.

Also, LOL, so Nintendo to just announce this thing first on a shit Direct video.

 

[Sorcerer]

That's the most meh console reveal of all time. Literally just "here's our new Switch which is exactly like the old Switch but a tiny bit different".

And if that game is MK9, it also looks exactly like MK8.

I'm wondering if it is MK8 and they were just showing it to emphasize backwards compatibility. Also, some Switch games will not be compatible with Switch 2? A little weird but it seems they had no intention of revealing any software at this time just hardware.

 

[TheKingOfSheep]

Gotta be February right?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's 4 February. I mean, it's got to, right?

 

[MudoSkills]

Wake me up when they announce Labo 2.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Backwards compat, nice

Though certain games won't be compatible. I wonder how many and which ones.

Gotta be February right?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's 4 February. I mean, it's got to, right?

Definitely April.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Please someone tell me this is mario kart 8, it looks exactly the same

Mario model looks different, so assuming it's MK9.

 

[BlackTron]

Wow with no games, I was expecting some sort of hardware reveal. I mean not specs, but at least whatever new feature or gimmick. They just acknowledged its existence.

I wonder if their original plan was late 2025 release, Spring reveal, and we just got this "update" thanks to leaks.

 

[protonion]

Most lame reveal of all time.

 

[MMaRsu]

Backwards compat, nice

Partial

 

[spons]

lol, now we gotta wait until April. Jeez.

 

[darth.shrimp]

calm down
I find it idiotic because you could use the screen plus the TV together

How close are you sitting from your TV when playing?

 

[Ribi]

In before it can't run Netflix and YouTube on launch again

Wait so where is the innovation?

 

[Sintoid]

Ugly video, looks something made in a hurry to patch all the leaks in previous weeks

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

The Switch just out sold the PS2 in the US.

Anyone underestimating this is huffing hopium.

Are we repeating the Switch launch patterns on GAF, just in reverse this time? lol

Edit: Forget about the hw, I was really disappointed by the bits of what was supposedly MK9 we saw. I was thinking how many years after 8's launch, there would be some striking visual differences between the two titles, and I'm not talking resolution or graphical fidelity.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Is it hard to write the month name instead of a number and confuse the fuck of everyone ?

Are waiting till April or Feb ffs

 

[RaZoR No1]

where preorder?

 

[Shaki12345]

My God. Most of you people here really don't deserve a new Nintendo system. Fucking F5ing this thread every minute for weeks on end and when time comes it's all negative vibes? Get a life.

 

[near]

Even Apple is not this economical when it comes to hyping up their iterative (same?) iPhone.

Nintendo has that level of pulling power. They don't need hype shit, word of mouth will do that for them.

 

[ReBurn]

Not much fanfare

The fanfare is the friends we made along the way.

 

[ComputerBlue]

If that Nintendo direct is April, we are a long ass way off from release.

 

[RoadHazard]

I'm wondering if it is MK8 and they were just showing it to emphasize backwards compatibility. Also, some Switch games will not be compatible with Switch 2? A little weird but it seems they had no intention of revealing any software at this time just hardware.

It's not a track that's in MK8 AFAIK.

 

[MayauMiao]

Time to save up! Likely to get in 2026 when the stock is available and the scalpers are gone.

 

[Elitro]

Nice supports all previous switch games. Looking forward for the February April details!

Edit: Damnit, the details date would be February localized in my country .

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Sight of relief as a physical collector for the Switch

 

[phant0m]

Please someone tell me this is mario kart 8, it looks exactly the same

Nintendo been selling you Super Mario World for 35 years, MK8 still fresh in their eyes

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

It is practically the same system. Hopefully it doesn't happen like Wii-U.

 

[Warspite]

 

[bosnianpie]

ALL ABOARD!
