Is there any particular reason people are thinking a Direct announcment is near? Other than wishful thinking? I've been outta the loop lately.

You guys have any relatively obscure games in your top 5/10 of all time list?

I think I've decided Might and Magic 7 belongs somewhere in the top 10. All that WRPG discussion earlier made me think of it.

I have Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge in my top 10 but I don't think it's obscure by any means. It's just the younger generation that are not familiar with the series in general. If I were Disney I'd have made Guybrush Threepwood the next Homer Simpson.

It's alot but it's far from insane. Let's say you play alot more during the holidays. Kids probably play too. Leave the game open for a while. etc..

So guys whats the most played Switch game on your systems?

I have super Mario party at 640 hours, although not the best Mario party game but i play it daily with my wife and kids, i hope we get the new one soon with more maps this time.

I really wish there were options to streamline Super Mario Party. I loved the game but there's a lot of little flourishes that make the games take so much longer. If there were options to cut those out and it had more maps, it would easily be my favorite Mario Party games.

Yeah, man. Really sorry for all what is happening in Brazil. But I believe the news Nintendo is going to drop next week would be a great way to distract yourself. Stay safe!

Also, congrats on Nintendo establishing in Brazil! Did you heard that?

Yeah! Got the news on Instagram and was really happy! Just hope that they sell the Switch and the games for a price that's fair to the country...

I just noticed that OT 13 (4th), 12 (9th) and 11 (22nd) are all somehow in the top trending threads. This OT is prolific, folks.

Yeah I wouldn't consider that terribly obscure.

Maybe obscure was the wrong word, maybe I'm thinking more "unusual"? Like something that you wouldn't see on very many top 10 lists.

Let me tell you about a little game called Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Or maybe I could interest you in tales of a game called Sin & Punishment: Star Successor?

Okay, I have started Evergate. Fun little puzzle platformer. As expected from the trailer, the aesthetic and sound design is very reminiscient of Ori.

that is a shitload of Mario Party

I feel like 640 is probably a hint. Well, less so a hint than Cap obviously fucking with us..Everything else seems like a stretch.

Is it still worth getting into Splatoon 2 at this point for a new player? Looking to do Multiplayer

Making a top 10 of all time is HARD. I think I managed to make a top 10 of the last decade, but that's as far out as I've gotten. I'd really have to work at it to do a top 10 ever

I was going to sleep last night, than i thought it may be Eternal Darkness and i said to myself i shouldn't sleep.

Maybe when its Zero hour i can go sleep before sunshine, than i just went to party to play sport games.

For the love of god, not everything i say is a hint, yes i played mario party for 640 hours and that wasn't a hint for anything.

Bookmark this post and I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong about any of this.
There will never be:

Any more themes, basic or special like the 3ds on the Switch.

No Xenoblade profile icons on the Switch

No eshop music like Wii or WiiU on the Switch

No folders on the Switch

No messaging service between friends on the Switch that aren't preselected by Nintendo i.e hello do you want to play?

I wish I was wrong but I know this is the truth. Maybe we'll get some of this on a hypothetical Switch pro or the Switch 2

I'd assume the only reason this version hasn't been announced is because they probably have a deal in place to announce it in a Direct.
