Social The Social Thread 3 - Switch 2 launches June

[PeridotGX]

Thr only new things I'm confident we'll see tomorrow are Animal Crossing and 3D Mario. Maybe more than that, maybe not, I don't really know.

Oh thank god it is midnight, I can ditch Among Us Keighley Korone

Looking at Geoff Keighley's face for to long makes me annoyed

I take it you won't be rocking a Keighley pfp for this year's Summer Lame Fest.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

rest in peace Val Kilmer, and condolences to his family

 

[Knight Dude]

Geez, both Val Kilmer and George Forman back to back, not to mention the lady who played Harriet the Spy.

I think that of the rumours about the new Joycons having the capability to be used as a mouse are true...

Then the new "C" button could be to activate this functionality by the user.

Or maybe it's something completely else idk.

I guess we just need to wait and see...

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Feels so weird that there'll probably a major change in consoles for the first time in almost a decade considering what's going on with Xbox and the PS5 tbh, especially with how there's a mere 2 hours left to see

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Happy Switch 2 Reveal Day, everyone

Who's ready for Sonic Lost World x Disventure Camp: Kingdom Battle?

 

[SneakyLink]

Good morning everyone.

Is everyone ready to jump on the hype train?

 

[P4ST4N4G4]

Good morning everyone.

Is everyone ready to jump on the hype train?

Already got my ticket and all my friends ready for it!

 

[Zatchiel]

Good morning everyone.

Is everyone ready to jump on the hype train?

Stoked. I haven't been able to tune in for one of these live in years, but lo and behold I have time available for it today.

 

[Noipoi]

The hour of fate is rapidly approaching

The hour of fate is rapidly approaching

This is the kind of text that appears on round start in an ArcSys fighting game

 

[Some AT-AT]

Dawn of the finale hour guys!

 

[Pink Yoshi]

HOLD ON TIGHT ME FELLOW SMASHBOARDIANS, THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Kinda surreal. I bought my Switch on launch day so it’s been almost 8 years, and will be 8 years by the time I have Switch 2 in my hands. New Nintendo hardware felt like it would never come but, I’ll be damned, we’re 40 minutes away.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Any last minute predictions?

 

[osby]

Not sure what to even expect from the direct, tbh.

I just hope we see some brand-new stuff from Nintendo. Sequels are nice and all but it's nice to see what they can come up with new consoles.

 

[CosmicEternity44]

I am up and at ‘em, and I am ready to watch the Direct!

 

[Noipoi]

Any last minute predictions?

There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch 2 during this presentation.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Any last minute predictions?

Some PC-centric IP will get a game on the Switch 2 to make use of its Mouse-Cons.

I could see that.

 

[SneakyLink]

Here is the direct link for those who need it.

Videogames

 

[SneakyLink]

Any last minute predictions?

There will be no video game announcements during this presentation.

 

[Xyro77]

15min until prime 4 launch date is announced. Pre-order bonus is a space pirate + Metroid porn in 8k at 60FPS. I CANT WAIT

 

[TheMightyP]

Any last minute predictions?

Gamecube

 

[P4ST4N4G4]

Any last minute predictions?

There will be audio during the presentation.

 

[CosmicEternity44]

See you all after the Direct. It is starting soon, after all.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

T-minus two minutes to no mention of Donkey Kong Country

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

No predictions, only JITTERS

 

[Noipoi]

It’s time

 

[Zinith]

The thread is basically this

 

[PLATINUM7]

Switch 2 presentation will be nothing but cheap walk cycles.

 

[Peepo T. Skeleton]

1 minute till impact

 

[P4ST4N4G4]

T1 Minus Thirty Seconds people!

 

[Pink Yoshi]

That initial Direct intro animation was so cool

ALSO MARIO KART TIME

 

[cashregister9]

well holy ****ing **** that looks amazing

 

[P4ST4N4G4]

They change clothes depending on the track? Neat-o!

 

[DynamicSmasher]

Ah, they're doubling down on the whole worldwide thing from Tour. In a more Mario way than a real world one. Coolio. Racing between courses to decide starting positions could be near.
