Nintendo recently presented their yearly financial results and set a new net profit record. In fact, the Switch era has been more profitable than 1981 to 2016. With that, there’s lot riding on the transition to the “Switch successor”. Join us as we discuss the financial results, the upcoming June Direct, and much more!

A bit of an FYI, the red border on the thumbnail on KZfaq makes it looks like i watched the video already. Would be nice to have the bottom of the thumbnail a different color.

People have been saying the same thing since episode one. But the thumbnail creator(s) either don't read the comments or do not care.

Micah saying she played Yakuza 6 so it wouldn’t get spoiled and then Gene spoils a major plot point in the series just after 😂😂😂

I can't think of worse time to have a Nintendo Podcast. Stay the course guys, and soon there will be too much news to talk about!

@@Thisisgood99 I see what you mean, but if you remember, Podcast Beyond was actually incredible during the PS3 dark years because of all the fuck ups lol

I've been hoping for my Zelda Twilight princess, Windwaker and Xenoblade chronicles X on my switch...

I'm so glad Jean said that about Nintendo being serious about hitting 60 frames. Because I've been saying for a while that Nintendo is going to have the first console with a nearly 100% 4K60 library. Because other consoles even though they have the power to hit that benchmark the developers of games aren't going to optimize for it but Nintendo will once they are ready

Lol and no. Also, Gene

Consoles continue to sell long after they become last-gen. Switch will surpass PS2, likely after Super Switch releases, unless Sony comes out again with another "jk, we sold 10M more" number xD

53:05 I feel that, whenever he didn’t get us any of the big brand handheld consoles, my grandfather would get me and my sister these pixel handhelds that had games like Tetris or pong on it and we’d play those for hours. He was always fascinated by tech regardless of it was the smallest gadget, I would say I inherited that from him.

I think a 2D Zelda is in the cards, remaster or otherwise. EDIT: Final Fantasy 17 needs to be on Switch 2 if they want to grow the brand beyond their current marketshare.

even if switch 2 is more powerful than a steamdeck the battery life clearly, in portable, isnt gonna be able to play a game like ff7 rebirth for more than an hour or so.

@stonehorn4641 24 күн бұрын

Fuck portable. I wish they would make a more powerful console version for those of us who don’t care about handhelds.

@threeswordssama 27 күн бұрын

Totally agree with the take on Paper Mario. I played it on Gamecube back when it came out and it was great, but I'm not paying a premium for it at this point. Also, I just finished Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and I felt like I didn't need to play the previous games to understand what was going on until the end and then playing the DLC (future redeemed). Now I kinda feel like going back and playing Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2.

Seriously why cant we get twilight princess on the switch??

38:00 this woman wont buy the MK8 Switch version bc its the same as the Wiiu? And fails to mention the DLC makes it more like MK8.9? Sister, you need to buy aND HAVE THAT ONE

@mattsanders2207 27 күн бұрын

It helps with the sales charts that 7 year old Switch games are still full price.

@mattsanders2207 27 күн бұрын

@1:17:04 More important question, will the games remain full price throughout the Switch 2’s life?

@matthewvandeleest8095 21 күн бұрын

Yes, WiiU games didn't drop in price.

I hope that the bloat and slow ramp-up in JRPGs evolve. It's a drag IMO.

The OG Paper Mario was my first RPG and one of my favorite games. Thousand year door was very good, but I have to go with the original.

@linkinparkblink182ro 28 күн бұрын

Dude Pyre is such a weird game but I love it. The only game I haven't beaten from Super Giant is Transistor. I need to go back and give it another shot.

The path to passing PS2 is fairly simple: price drop across the board on the current Switch. $129 lite, $299 OLED and drop the 'non' OLED model. Maybe introduce a couple more colors for the 'gotta collect em all' crowd.

Gene the dogs in the Drake video are referencing his album For All the Dogs lol but I feel ya, does not look good. The sounds Akademiks was listening to her was apparently his ex girlfriend freaking out on him but I don't give that guy any of my mental space lol
