What you don't understand is how hard this was and what a technical marvel it is. Rumour has it they are still truing to figure out how to have folders on the Switch as well. Some say thats impossible though so who knows. If anyone can do the impossible though its Nintendo.

I was going to make a snide comment about expecting folders in another 4 years.

In 4 years we will have the new Switch and Mario Kart 8 Special edition.

On an unrelated note. Just got Ring fit for my partner and its a really good workout. Going to try and do it most mornings to get me going first thing. I sit in a chair for 9 hours a day so a bit of exercise in the morning is probably a good thing.

Well at least we know that the new Mario Kart is happening in 2022/2023.

Don't tease me. How do we know this?

I mean, its about bloody time. I don't care that 8 was on the Wii U. Its been over 7 years since the last one and it will be potentially nearly 10 if if comes out in 2023.

Thing is, MK8 is still selling bythe bucket load, they will be in no rush to release a new one while they are still making a fortune off of 8.

Oh I know why they haven't released the next one, I just don't like it

I know why a lot of things happen and don't like it because the reason is fundamentally greed.

Managed to secure Metroid Dread through a Curry's pricing error this afternoon for £26.99.

They then put it back up to £49.99.

Whether they honour it or not who knows, but I have since had a confirmation along with the receipt so there's hope!

I still have my Super Smash Bros Nintendo Switch Console. Great bit of kit. Completed Fire Emblem Three Houses recently, fantastic game, couldn’t put it down lol.

Get ready for 27 indies and 3 full games we already knew about :cry:

I'm not expecting anything decent to be announced Nintendo's directs have been a major let down lately

I was thinking along the lines of 30 minutes of Pokemon! Be nice to see some surprises but I am not holding my breath. Silksong seems to have been I development for ages so hoping for at least that.

petridish · 22 Sep 2021 at 20:36

Oh nice but 23:00? I thought they were usually earlier in the day than that.

In other news ordered myself a pro controller today. Currently £44 on eBay with a code so marginally cheaper than usual.

Noxia · 23 Sep 2021 at 23:45

An online subscription 'expansion pack' and £50 for a controller to play N64 games. It would be funny if it wasn't so predictable.

DIABLO · 24 Sep 2021 at 01:05

And a none sexified Bayonetta. It's the $50 for the 6 button Mega Drive controller that is steep.

I was thinking the same, I'm sure Bluetooth doesn't cost THAT much to be added in an controller.

Glad to finally see news on Bayonetta 3 coming next year, hope it won't be delayed.

I can't believe Nintendo actually have the nerve to announce an extra cost if you want to play N64 games/ sega especially with how lacklustre their current online is I personally feel like that's a huge middle finger to their fans
I'm just glad I don't play any of the emulated games or I'd be upset over that imo

Also I love that new Splatoon grapple hook that we seen in the trailer it looks so cool me and the Mrs can't wait for Splatoon 3

Also did anyone notice that before the direct started it said " a direct to discuss games coming this winter" yet majority of the games were 2022 :cry:

It is abit cheeky but it depends on the price. If its an extra £2.50 then I dont mind. Bottle of Coca-Cola costs more than that.
