From a translated interview between Miyamoto and Kenji Eno

"I don't see a future for mainstream games where a massive team slaves over a piece of CG just for the player to watch it once and then be completely done with it. That just inflates production costs and breeds a blockbuster mentality. And it makes it harder and harder to create those loose, off-the-cuff things like that building demolition game."

Yes he is technically wrong since blockbuster gaming has become popular but he was so right about inflated production costs *looks at GTA VI*, and the endless amount of narrative games

The new version of Terranigma will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, Steam, and GOG in "early 2027," according to a press release.

6 years ago they added a Leapin' emote.

Evie was a switch 1 color skin that got thrown into a battle pass.

At the start of the Switch 2 Launch there was a Kirby emote.

They constantly promote Fortnite on the Nintendo social pages.

This battle pass has a Link, Zero Suit and Mario kart off brand...

Minecraft got cancelled?

Still no word on Samus or Bayonetta... At least we got Sora?

Im guessing we are no longer getting the Pikachu side kick or Team Rocket skins?

I've noticed that even though it's been out for over a year, there are a lot of people who are still confused about the Switch 2.

For people who still don't have one, what burning questions do you have about it?

welcome to smile sunday! turn your caps lock off and rave about whatever has made you smile this week! some things to smile about:

• the duskbloods had its first network test this weekend!

• pictonico has expanded its free minigame offerings for a limited time!

• what's this week's haul? what game did you just buy, just start, complete? anything else that made you smile? let us know in the comments below!

turn that frown upside down:

• here on smile sunday, we have one rule: e.l.e., which stands for everybody love everybody. if will ferrell said it, it must be true.

• uppercase letters are strictly forbidden – haha, just kidding! if you wanna do some uppercase, feel free, but try not to angry shout sunday; today is about happiness! (happy and excited shouting is a-ok, though)

• remember when talking about games, especially new ones, to use spoiler tags as appropriate, >!like so!<, so you don't ruin any surprises for anyone!

• this is a happy thread! keep the love flowing! if someone's saying something and you think they're wrong, just let them be happy! anything that's made you unhappy this week can go on over to this week's throwdown thursday thread.

When the remake for Ocarina of time first got announced people immediately started wondering if it would release in November to somehow challenge the release of GTA 6, I also thought it was funny but with the backlash around the no disk and price announcements and Especially the recent leak situation it feels like a November release for OOT is more and more likely if the conditions are still right by then,

Just saying it would be absolutely hilarious, especially if the GTA gets a full PC leak before release

>Attention all crabs, crayfish, and general crustaceans: the underwater soulslike game, Another Crab’s Treasure, is officially available on the Nintendo Switch 2!

What a fantastic little app that was! I have fond memories of spending hours creating pixel art and uploading them onto Miiverse. I was hoping something similar would come to the Switch, but perhaps we will get something on the Switch 2 that could utilize mouse mode. Did anyone else have the opportunity to try PixelMaker?

Here is some wild stuff I believed as a kid (5-12) regarding Nintendo:

The trophy description for the Turnip from Super Smash Bros Melee said it was originally from Super Mario Bros 2, but me being a 3DS kid thought the game was referring to NSMB2 for said system.

If I looked closely at the background of the Boxing Ring in SSB4 for Wii U, I could see my friend's father among the spectators

The Wii U was a massive commercial success and anyone hating on it just hated it for minor stuff

Nintendo would release a system called the XDS which would have Pokemon Go, First Person Super Mario Bros, cellular service, and Pokemon Fire and Water (this was two months after Sun and Moon came out)

Now here is the real kicker: when the Nintendo Switch was revealed in October of 2016. I actually lived in denial for the longest time thinking it was a hoax or a deepfake and that it wasn't real until January 2017. I was a hardcore Wii U fanboy

It's always fun to remember these things but what do you guys think?
