I didn't say this Thursday. Nyaa

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.

It happened??!

https://www.nintendo.com/successor/ja-jp/index.html

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

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.  indecision

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.

Wow that was an underwhelming announcement especially Mario Kart. That's a launch title of new uber powerful handheld?

Edit: I watched it a 2nd time. It's not going to be fully backwards compatible?

Games that use the IR sensor like 1, 2 switch or Nintendo Labo.

Everything else should work.

Mario Kart is a hugely successful game that would be a great launch titles, but the way it's just plastered a few seconds onto a screen is not the best way to reveal it.

Yeah, pretty weak reveal but I’m glad that it’s finally official now. I very much like the look of the system. Bigger and more powerful is all I need. Awesome to see a new Mario Kart game. Kind of bummed that we have to wait until April for a Direct on it.

If that's all that's not compatible then that's okay with me.

I hope MK9 gets a lot of visual improvements before release. That trailer makes it look like DLC.

I guess third parties can now show off their Switch 2 games at least.

So apparently Elon musk is feuding with a streamer over a game called Path of Exile 2. It all goes back to Elon paying people to level up a character and then showing that he wasn't that great at the game while he streamed it himself.

It's really quite remarkable that someone could be the richest person on Earth, and still be this insecure about a video game.

Elon is either full of crap or an alien or both.

I saw an article saying Congress and X were suppressing statistics and reports about the accidents autonomous cars cause.

I hope that all of the people who leaked Switch 2 information/those who helped leak it will be cursed for the rest of their lives to always have poop on the soles of their shoes when they get home…

…Now that I’ve enjoyed the surprise announcement of Okami with all the users, I truly believe that… all those damn leakers should be cursed…

The shitty leaker only acts for his own pleasure and self-satisfaction, not only is he not contributing to anyone’s benefit, he is incurring all sorts of opportunity losses, and has done nothing to be proud of in front of others. He is the worst of scum, so he should be covered in shit from head to toe and thrown out of the atmosphere… and then stop thinking and wander forever…

These damn leakers are in a position of responsibility where they have access to information that only a very select few know, yet what they do is nothing more than an expression of a filthy desire for approval that lacks a shred of rationality; they are shameful people, so it is not the manufacturers whose secrets have been exposed who should be blamed, but these damn people, and they need to be crushed as soon as possible…

Seems he didn't like the Switch 2 leaks.

All the leaks were spot on. Even the boring logo.

Pretty underwhelming trailer.
