Not a bad line up. I'm guessing it's the not really super mario bros 2. I never really played that so I might give it a proper go.

It's actually a pretty decent game - weird, but it's challenging at times, and has some decent tunes.

Does this mean the JP store is getting the real SMB2?

Rumor: Nintendo Working on 11 Unannounced Switch Games for 2019

Some extracts.

Emily Rogers...clarified her claims by saying that the minimum number of unannounced, Nintendo-published Switch games for 2019 will be five, but that there could be as high as 11 or even 12 titles that come out for the console this year.

The “Most likely” Nintendo-published game announcements for 2019. (70% chance or higher)

1. Mystery game #1
2. Mystery game #2
3. Mystery game #3
4. Mystery game #4
5. eShop game #1
6. Mystery Wii U port #1 (2013 title)
7. eShop game #2
8. New Labo Kit

The “Maybe” games for 2019. (The wild card titles – 50% chance or less)

9. Retro Studios secret game (this is assuming it wasn’t canned)
10. Metroid Prime Trilogy (assuming Zell’s info and Imran’s info are correct)
11. Mystery Wii U port #2

The “mystery” Wii U port from 2013 is most likely either Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, or The Wonderful 101, as those were the top Wii U exclusives from that year that aren’t already on the Switch.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-first-party-thread-ot2-new-year-new-mii.90098/page-320#post-17521380/

It could be hit or miss with Emily Rogers. Some of them are common sense and titles already speculated upon.

I read this earlier but forgot to post it. They raise a couple of interesting points on issues that may arise from a Switch redesign.

A Nintendo Switch redesign could repeat the Wii U’s failings

That's a bit of a 'nothing' article. All pure speculation at this point.

Yes it's speculation like every other rumour, but it has valid points about potentially splitting or confusing the market. If there is a smaller Switch, how do Nintendo go about fitting the current Joy-Cons on it? It would be madness to make them even smaller. If they do, then how do the smaller Joy-Cons fit on the current model? It's the same story if they go in the opposite direction and there's a Switch XL. And that's just talking about height, what if the new model is skinnier or thicker?

A lot of people have talked about a more powerful Switch dividing the market, but this is just the Joy-Cons.

Good question! I haven't downloaded the Japanese nes thing yet. Does my 20 euro a year plan allow me to access that one on a Japanese account on the same switch or would I need a family plan?

NintendoDeath as ever regurgitating yesterday's news. It's not official yet but the trailer looks great. I see ND talking about Claybook in the last hour, again yesterday's news. The last place I'd go to for current news and definitely not reviews.

Bit mean, isn't it?

What is defined as "yesterday's news"?

Come on now, positivity and all that

Mr E

Meh. I like NintendoLife. Sorry.

Corholio

I see plenty of news posted here that is 'old' and had seen day or so previously. I always find the news 'race' here a bit strange personally.

Literally both stories I mentioned were announced yesterday.

Like a spurned lover, who used to be all over Nintendo Life, literally, now treats it like a disease. Breaking up in public can be difficult. :pac:

And when on earth does that make it passé already?
Seriously, are we that hooked on digital instantaneous news that anything that happens to be a day old is now old hat?
And "Yesterday's News" does not literally mean the news from yesterday.

Nintendolife heard he was seeing other clickbait sites... And so the relationship soured...

Only joking!
