[up] They were probably talking about the more recent SMT titles. Hell, they might have been talking about SMT in general for English speakers.

[up]I know, its just amusing in somewhat disappointing way that even the SNES version of SMT 1 ended up on Switch before the SMTV title announced three and half years ago.

Donkey Kong Country is so hype that Nintendo made a video just about it. Enjoy some cheat codes

Thought they would do a bundle release and include DKC 2 and 3.

Its weird that the SNES mini got DKC instead of 2 while FF got FFVI. If it was based on popularity, DKC 2 would be the pick. If it was numeric order, then it should have been FFIV.

Is this the first time an old-school Donkey Kong Country game has been released since the Nintendo 64?

They should make a Nintendo Badge Arcade sequel and put it on the Switch. It could use the customizability options.

There was a time that the DKC games were removed from either the Wii or Wii U Virtual console.

Apparently adding DKC to the Switch was enough to get it trending on gaming Twitter. Hopefully Nintendo doesn't drop the ball with the series again like in the 2000s.

The same way you were supposed to figure out about that one DK Coin in the bonus room in Donkey Kong Country 2 that was the only one like that in the whole game.

According to Furukawa from the 80th shareholder meeting Q&A, the Switch's sucessor will likely use the unique elements of the Switch, but they will try to extend the Switch's lifecycle for now. Quote:

Could you tell us about the outlook for your next game system? Game hardware has always displayed an image on a TV or other kind of screen while you do something, and I think that's where the limits for this format are. Would the hardware you're thinking about go beyond those limits?

Furukawa:
Our current generation game system, Nintendo Switch, has entered its fourth year since launch, but its momentum is increasing. We believe there are two factors behind this. First is the existence of two hardware configurations with different characteristics, in Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. The second factor is that Nintendo's development resources are concentrated on developing content for a single platform, Nintendo Switch. We want to extend the life cycle of Nintendo Switch while maximizing such advantages.

Ko Shiota (Director, Senior Executive Officer):
In addition to the performance aspects (higher technical specifications), Nintendo's dedicated video game platforms are developed with a focus on providing a comfortable environment for consumers to play fun software. From the perspective of playing with the image displayed on a TV, we believe that because consumers can play Nintendo Switchon a TV or the game console screen itself, it has greatly increased the opportunities for gameplay in various scenes in their lives, compared to previous consoles. Through Nintendo Switch, we've made many discoveries about where a dedicated video game platform can fit into a consumer's daily life. We see scenes on social media of children and their families sitting around a game console to play, which gives us a renewedsense of the value of our dedicated video game platform. We will utilize these experiences in carefully considering the form our future game consoles will take.

Makes sense. No reason to move on from the Switch when it's still on fire.

I expect the Switch 2 will have analogue triggers.

Other than that, maybe some sort of dual screen technology? Like the Switch 2 might have a DS form factor, and also have some circuitry in the dock that allows an image to be streamed from the console to the TV for a Wii U type arrangement.

If they can make that affordable. I think that's why they didn't have a Wii U style dock in the first place.

I missed the part where that's my problem.

I was underwhelmed by it. It's telling that, while still not that great, the Japanese version was a lot better with the presentation of those JRPGs, contrasting the focus on that WWE game in the overseas version. It made me realize how untimely and counterproductive the American Kirby Is Hardcore trope can be sometimes (doubly so for those like me who don't like WWE at all).

[up]I hate wrestling, so I was completely uninterested in that game they showed.

But I guess they figured "Americans don't like JRP Gs". Even though that is completely false.
