Pikman Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Wow, they are sharing a LOT of MK... 4k output though, nice. Although I'm not sure if that's via something within the dock, I guess yes as the screen itself is only 1080?
Pikman Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Could be, yeah. I play about 50/50 so I'd be happy with OLED on both! Happy to see how it holds up though.
Maf Posted April 2 Posted April 2 1.3 mil people are watching this on the USA stream alone I’ve got to work but MARIO KART + C BUTTON SHIT TALKING LETS GO 1
Pikman Posted April 2 Posted April 2 The upgraded Zelda's look wonderful 😍 But now... let's look at NEW games please! MP4 in 4k though, oh yes!
Maryokutai Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I actually found this a but underwhelming but I understand that the days of new consoles being presented with a bunch of new exclusives are over. There's some cool stuff though, like Mario Kart getting a complete and fundamental overhaul and the Donkey Game which might be my highlight of the show. And while it might not be for me, the fact that they finance an exclusive From game shows that they're not taking the system's success for granted. Interestingly they also showed what appeared to be Super Street Fighter 6, though obviously that won't be exclusive. The console itself looks decent, I was surprised by how good the screen sounds on paper. And I really like that they're going to re-release physical versions of those upgraded games. I'll definitely get Prime 4 for this system then and might finally check out Tears of the Kingdom, too. Speaking of physical versions, screw this nonsense with Gamecube being locked behind NSO. FFS. And why the hell do we get a new Kirby Air Ride before F-Zero? 1
one-armed dwarf Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 Pretty underwhelming stream imo but I think the hardware features look good (except LCD), the upgrades look good for Zelda (except their cost). That basketball game looks cool. But it's a lot of ports other than that Bloodborne II though, can't knock that
Maryokutai Posted April 2 Posted April 2 So the system is 470€ which is a bit more than I expected but no unreasonable. But game prices are between 80€ (DK) and 90€ (Mario Kart). Don't know how it's in the UK but that's ridiculous IMO. Putting quite the damper on things and combined with the scalper situation we will most likely have I think I'm happy to just sit this one out for a bit. So much for not taking the success for granted.

Maf Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I’ve just got back from a meeting and haven’t had time to watch it yet but my opinion is 10/10, BABY 1

Pikman Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I guess I had better play some more games to bump up my playtime? 😅 It's a good idea though, hopefully limits scalping, hopefully!

retroed Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Looks like the Switch 2 game boxes might be red and have an unsightly red bar on the top of the front.
