That Square-Enix MarioKart ripoff looks so trash!

the PS1 chocobo kart game was already trash

Ocarina on Switch finally! Maybe I’ll actually finish it now

Good luck, that's a tough one. It IS pretty cool if you get to the best set pieces admittedly, but woof, gameplay and controls are rough compared to ... most other Zeldas

da fuck. Ocarina is a god damned masterpiece.

Ocarina is 'influential'

Man there were a lot of old games announced at the Direct. N64 titles, GAMEBOY ADVANCE titles! Jus milkin it.

Shockingly low amount of people online considering that the cast of the Mario movie likely to be human characters "trapped" in the bodies of the SMB characters they were announced to be playing. All this fretting over Chris Pratt's ability to do a Mario voice...

I'll bet you 5 polyphonic-coins that doesn't happen

i'm hoping for a return to gruff brooklyn accent mario

some mario abs

I guess they just couldn't find an Italian... again...

i love kotor deeply but the updated graphics look like shit

v curious about Actraiser Rennaisance, having never played the original, but I already have a crowded wishlist and a tiny budget

i'm definitely waiting till it goes on sale

Think about it- why would the original Mario voice actor be in it? It’s so he can be Mario in the bookends of the film before and after Pratt’s character gets sucked into the game and “becomes” him or whatever.

The scene where they enter the game writes itself...

Chris's character as Mario will be the one they show looking around in first person delirious before looking down and seeing his Mario body. Then the camera will reverse and show him as Mario saying something along the lines of "Oh my god you guys..." etc.

Charlie's character as Luigi will quip about getting to be taller than Chris for once.

Keegan-Michael's character will flip out "hilariously" in disappointment that he is Toad and won't shut up for a while.

Seth's character as DK will have a defeated remark and then say something about being itchy.

Possibly a The Santa Clause scenario where Chris Pratt accidentally kills Mario and must therefore become Mario.

lol

Think about it- why would the original Mario voice actor be in it?

He's never really played Mario as a like a fully-formed character, has he? He mostly says "woo-hoo" and "here we go" and shit.

He's also been the voice of Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Thwomp, Whomp, Dry Bones, Monty Mole, etc etc. He's not just Mario.

Plus he's old and they probably want to make more than one of these.

they probably want to make more than one of these.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

they're gonna have charles martinet talk like Mario as a minor character for one line and pratt mario is gonna go like "ha what a weirdo" and make the dreamworks face for the rest of the film

no way pratt being cast over martinet had anything to do with martinet. maybe if martinet has spent the last 5 years starring in universal/disney blockbuster franchises they would've considered him

lmao that clip is so good

the switch pro is real and its my friend

Bloomberg reporting that the 4K Nintendo Switch “Pro” was a real thing that was supposed to launch this year. 11 game companies reportedly have 4K dev kits, but Nintendo delayed due to chip shortages. Now expected late 2022 at the earliest https://t.co/ZBmuZ1Q5Uz pic.twitter.com/IQhGmy5ARQ

it'll come out any year now

Wait people think Nintendo give a shit about alienating 3rd party developers? Or about being at a technical disadvantage? The whole history of that company says otherwise.

Looks more to me like "planned to make the mid-generation refresh 4k capable, couldn't get the silicon, changed the plan, that's that". I mean it's not impossible they'll do another revision next year but I won't be surprised at all if they just don't bother with 4k now. Their core audience is still 6-12 year olds who mostly play handheld and have jam and snot all over their screens anyway, so they won't care about OLED or more pixels.

by the time the chip shortage is resolved they can probably just move right on to Switch 2, we're already 4.5 years deep on the current one and the only remaining promised game thats not on the 2022 release schedule is metroid prime

I personally could not care less about a 4K Switch.

its pretty meaningless, they can add smart upscaling and output at 4k but its just a band-aid solution for something thats not really an issue since 1080p still looks fine unless you're insane about graphics and if you are then fake 4k probably isn't going to satisfy you

yeah, 4k is kind of a big nothing for the vast majority of people whether they know it or not. i have a 55" 4k TV and to tell the difference between 1080p i'd have to be sitting uncomfortably close to it.

4K is kind of dumb if your Switch lacks the processing power to give you anything that would look particularly special in 4K, anyway.

retro graphics with sharper edges
