All I really care for is if Monster Hunter Wilds or whatever it's called will release on Switch 2 and if it'll be crossplay. Dragon Age Veilgaurd would be cool too.
I don't know how I feel about Obivion being UE5 remake rumor. I don't think it needs to be remade. Just remaster it. It already looks great on PC at 4K. Take the PC version, add gamepad support, and push out the draw distance as far as possible. Done. Why waste resources remaking something that doesn't really need it?

A remake is preferable because it should look a lot better. Like Metal Gear Delta.
Yes I was expecting a pre announcement tweet the day before.
It's Thursday here now and no announcement.
Read this just now:
The Joy-Cons are also believed to have sensors that allow them to be used like a computer mouse. More recently, Bloomberg reporter Takashi Mochizuki has suggested the Switch 2 will have ‘unique aspects’ besides the sensors, but that third party developers are unlikely to make use of them.
‘I often hear from third parties that they don’t want to deal with the unique aspects of the console, especially the sensors, because the benefits are small compared to the labour and cost involved,’ said Mochizuki.
‘I think that it’s not the platform’s role to differentiate itself by creating original parts, but I also think that it’s only going to be a topic of conversation for a while after the launch.’
There's this Brazilian X user/Journalist that has specified 3pm UK time which is 2 and a half hours from now.
Also apparently the reported low CPU clock speeds in docked mode for Switch 2 may not be correct or may be for different power profiles.
A Famiboards user has said:
"Yay I'm back! The CPU clockspeeds reported by Zachy are incorrect. The correct clockspeeds are floating around, I expect it to be leaked in the next week or so
That being said I'm not sure why those values are listed. Zachy has been super reliable so I'd say they are definitely values that exist"
He's heard from his source and he's so sure of it he's asked mods to perma ban him if the clocks aren't revealed in the next 7 days.
Man, that joycon connector on the Switch is prone to get bent. You'd think that, for a console that will be handled by a lot of kids, they could have come up with something sturdier. Like how the original Switch worked.
The Mario Kart footage seems decidedly early stage still. There's very little in the way of character animation or interaction between the different racers. Where's Luigi's stare of doom?

Looked no better than MK8 Wii U to me.
Ugh, seen all the hardware before, this trailer showed nothing. I would have hoped for a price and release month.
Hope third parties can reveal things now. Andy Robinson VGC said there were an unfortunate number of embargos today.
So maybe they finish today and we can get more news.

I'd love to have a remake since I really didn't get into the original game.
I think Virtuous is doing the porting, Bethesda can still do the new one without it affecting them.We're they rumors wrong, again?
I thought it was rumored for Thursday.
Yeah, but if they were going to do it Thursday they'd at least have to give a day's notice (I think that's what people are assuming).
It is Thursday in Australia (almost Friday) and nothing has happened (speaking as someone living in the near future).
I thought it was rumoured. Well, at the very least for GG.

It happened??!

Mario Kart 9.....
Not sure how the Japanese do their dates. There's a direct on either Feb 4th or April 2nd.
U.S trailer is all over YouTube.
Direct on the 4.2.2025
In the UK that would mean 4th Feb. For Americans isn't that 2nd April?
Mario Kart 9 looks the same as MK8 lol.

U.S version
So we have to wait another 10 weeks for the direct? Fuck everything, everyone, everywhere, all at once
