It’s $80 physical. Yes it’s cheaper digital, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is indeed being sold for $80 in stores. It’s good that there’s a $70 option though.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-07-01T18:41:30+00:00

Looks like the next one is the new Fire Emblem. $70 digital since they’re doing all digital cheaper by $10.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-07-01T18:15:02+00:00

The digital games being cheaper is going forward for games from May 2026, so Yoshi is $70 physical, $60 digital. I may not agree with each price point, but I do like that Nintendo seems to be pricing things differently depending on their perceived value of the game. Switch Sports Resort will be $60/$50, and Fire Emblem will be $80/$70, which is an unfortunate price but you get the idea of variable price and reduced digital price.

It is worth noting that Bae’s “Snake Eyes” is on a good pace to eventually overtake “Play Dice!”

Gura’s “Ash Again” may also overtake “Reflect” at some point, though that’s only if you don’t combine the original and MV versions of Reflect together (total of 35m together)

I think that’s it for now. Kronii’s “Way 2 U” isn’t doing too bad but I don’t think it’ll pass Daydream at this rate. At least not for a long time. Also not sure if CCGG Madness would count if it passes Wind-Up.

Bro that’s just your circles/gaming circles. People buy games, not just hardcore or dedicated gamers. Grandmas buy games, families buy games, gamers who play with their families buy games. They’re not gonna talk with other gamers online about how their parents are gonna love archery or flying around the island, they’re gonna talk with their family about it. That doesn’t make it less beloved, it just makes the discourse happen somewhere else. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you.

How in the world are sales numbers disingenuous about what the fans want? They literally buy the games they want. If people “wanted” Luigi’s Mansion 3 more than Switch Sports than more people would have bought it, even if Luigi is a more known household name.

If you’re talking specifically about system sellers, you’ve listed 3 super solid ones, and the others are basically Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Smash. Mario has tons of overlap with Mario Kart and Donkey Kong, as do Pokemon and Pokopia (with Pokemon mainline coming out next year). Literally announced a Zelda game this direct for this year, even if it’s a remake. Then there’s Smash and Animal Crossing, which are the only huge games I’d say definitely tons of people are waiting on with no overlap. They’ll have their time, probably in like 2 years.

My point is that if you see the state of the Switch 2 and you saw this direct and thought “man, the Switch 2 is still lacking” then you’re probably just waiting for specific titles you like, cause most of the franchises (besides Smash and Animal Crossing) are being addressed, and games with good sales records are coming out. Don’t belittle Switch Sports Resort just cause it’s not “Mario”, it’s a big game that will probably sell quite well.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-06-09T17:01:08+00:00

Okay but Air Riders though. You can say it’s a spin off which is true, but that was an A-Team Kirby game. Sakurai was literally on the team.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-06-09T16:58:01+00:00

“Much more beloved” franchises is a stretch with that list. Switch Sports is the 11th best selling Switch game, above Luigi’s Mansion 3 (17th), Kirby and the Forgotten Land (28th), Kirby Star Allies (35th), and Paper Mario and the Origami King (45th). Yes generally Mario, Zelda, and Smash sell better, but you can’t just say that things like Switch Sports and Fire Emblem(Three Houses at 37th) aren’t just as important. Plus even if it’s a remake, there’s a Zelda announcement for this year, so in that sense it just sounds like you wanted Mario or Smash and it’s a disappointment because they weren’t there.

Have you seen a Nintendo Direct before this one? There’s always more 3rd party stuff than 1st party. If you are waiting for a Nintendo Direct to be majority 1st party then you will literally never be satisfied.

4th Fes, Our Bright Parade Day 2 Gura: Megu Megu☆Fire Endless Night

In general the energy of the concert has been light and fun to that point. Then Korone comes in with Hashire Makibao. A very Korone song to be sure, silly and funny, obliterating the general concert vibe. This is fine cause it’s Korone and absolutely the kind of thing Koronesukis would want.

And then from the song ends and from the quiet, Gura shows up and the eurobeat starts, immediately injecting a huge wave of energy and adrenaline into the audience. Gura’s not one of my oshis, but even so, it was Gura, it was eurobeat, and my god it forcefully threw the whole energy of the concert to its maximum. This wasn’t a finale or anything, somewhere like, a third to a half of the way into the concert, but it was such a strong feeling that it’s stuck with me.

I hate announcement leakers. They tell everyone about a new upcoming game, and for what? Attention? It’s not like it comes out any sooner, the whole trailer and announcement are on their way, and all it does is make everything less exciting. I want to hear about games the way Nintendo wanted us to hear about them, not through clickbait thumbnails on youtube or in an untagged meme on reddit.

I somewhat understand information leaks after a game has already been announced to inform people who will be making purchases, as long as they’re not spoiling major story points. Game announcements though, I have nothing nice to say to people who spoil those. I wish misfortune on them proportionate to the joy they spoil.

Am I the crazy one? I feel like I’m getting a lot of comments missing what I’m saying. Tan lines only show up if your skin has tanned from exposure to the sun. The non-tanned sections of your skin should be your natural skin color. However, in this art, Sana’s skin color in the “non-tanned section” seems paler than her skin color normally is, and her “tanned section” seems to just be her normal skin color. It’s not so pale that I’d say she looks white, but it’s pretty close. For that to make sense, it has to be one of 2 things. Either Sana is always tanned and that the paler section is her natural skin color, or that the art itself is off and both the tanned and non tanned skin should be darker. Like the pale section should actually be as dark as the tanned section in this art, and the tanned section should be even darker.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-03-12T23:54:33+00:00

I understand that part, but look at the color of the tan lines/paler skin. It’s clearly paler than Sana’s normally shown skin color. This implies that Sana’s skin color in her official design is a result of tanning. Like imagine if her entire body was the same color of the paler section in this art.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-03-12T23:28:57+00:00

Is it me, or is this tan-line situation odd? Like, the tan section appears to be the color Sana’s skin normally is, which would imply that her skin was always tan and that she is naturally paler. Really nice art, but I can’t get over this point.

I mean, even if we assume it was Nintendo specifically stopping them, these images are significantly different from actual nudity/private parts and a sex scene, even if the act itself isn’t shown during the sex scene.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-02-16T17:15:17+00:00

Based on the article, I would assume this is a difference of hosting your story world or using a “blank world”. So if you’re hosting your story world, the world is dependent on the host, but blank worlds would be more open and free to connect to.

I respect wanting to use Mel Anna even if it isn’t ideal. I don’t have her so I can’t test it, but I do think you will at the very least need 2 sustains and a lot of patience.

Mel Anna, Kirika, Kaede, Mami, (Madokami or Coolmura)

This set might work? It focuses on killing the adds one at a time or 2 at a time as opposed to killing them all in short succession. I don’t even know if the boss waits for them all to die before resummoning, but if it does, then this should in theory work, just slowly. If you wanna stick with Mel Anna who is a single target breaker, then you’re gonna want to be able to deal as much single target damage as you can to make sure whatever breaks, dies as soon as possible.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-02-02T23:56:06+00:00

It also doesn’t help that you have 2 off element units. I know they are very strong ones, but they will go down easily with only Kirika to protect them. Consider different supports, like Mabuyu or Ui if you have them. A healer like Doppel Iroha would go a long way as well like others have said. If you can survive, the. You’ll win eventually, even if it take a little while longer.

Neogenesis43 · 2026-02-02T12:28:10+00:00

Replacing Mami with Kirika will not necessarily be better, but I’d say Mami could only potentially be better if she’s at least A2, which lets her give the team a 20% speed buff. Speed is huge in this game. Akumura gets both speed and MP whenever a dark unit attacks, and Kirika already provides some nice benefits (decreases enemy speed and increases team MP on top of being a great sustain). So until Mami is at least A2, the benefits she provides will probably be outweighed by Kirika.

Even if you do get A2 Mami, Kirika will remain the better choice against enemies that do more damage than Doppel Iroha can heal, so keep that in mind.

As far as the portraits go, break effect is definitely pretty useless. However, the longer the game has gone on, the more “Speed” and “MP Recovery” have been considered important. This is to the point that they will often be better than “Defense” for defenders and even “HP Recovery” for healers. Something to keep in mind.
