Google Cardboard style headgear. $49.99. Only compatible with Virtual Boy VC titles.

Good news: The entire VB library will be released!

A real hellraiser


Whatever else you wanna say about Mario + Rabbids: That Mario model and the mushroom kingdom in general look amazing. It's the best he's ever looked.

The main part of the trailer that was bad was the whole "Princess Peach... Saved herself!?!???" when she uses the cannon and looks all surprised that she did something. I thought that was really stupid considering she's been as playable character in Mario games in the past where she's kicked rear end, including the most recent 3D Mario platformer! Not to mention kicking rear end in Smash. Like the trailer was trying to say "She's not a helpless girl anymore, we're breaking ALL the rules! Did we just BLOW YOUR MIND?" when that isn't her actual character at all.

It is a good game, on a 3d platform where you have depth between all that red and black.

It seems really loving boring flat, look at that picture and tell me you want to see that on your Switch.

As much as I'd like to believe it, that list is bogus. There's no way we're getting two new Metroid games, maybe we'll get one, but I'm not holding my breath.

Peach's main claim to fame is a game where she cries to hurt things.

Peach also might be a little surprised because she just used a gun to shoot something. That's a far cry from floaty jumps and using a toad to block missiles

Think of the good things, Pim! The good things!

Like Jesus, candy, and crackerjacks! Ice cream and cake and lots o'laffs!

Given the 25-minute length and the calendar 2017 focus, I'm expecting basically nothing in the way of new announcements besides maybe Smash, which at least means it'll be easy for Nintendo to meet or surpass those expectations.

A bunch of pages back some goon asked about Has Been Heroes.

I picked it up yesterday and after digesting it for an hour or two and I'd like to figure out what I'm not picking up on or if I'm putting too much emphasis on something else.

Game is pretty addicting but I've yet to defeat the first stage's boss. I've done like 10 runs.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

Given that a new Mario 64 is on the way and that Rabbids looks pretty cool, I would be extremely happy today if there is an Animal Crossing announcement and maybe a new Luigi's Mansion. In the pantheon of possible surprise announcements, I think both are fairly reasonable.

Listening to IGN's preview show last week, Peer thinks the new AC game will be farming themed. That would actually make a lot of sense given Stardew Valley's rise to fame two years ago.

Also, regarding the short length of the direct, I think 30 mins is fine. They have Treehouse for the kind of stuff that chews up a bunch of time in other press conferences (i.e. the 6 or 7 minutes of the zombie game and Spiderman "gameplay" in Sony's) so they can rapid fire everything.

That's what's ensuring today doesn't go entirely sour. Even if the 25-minute thing sucks, at least they'll be playing poo poo like Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2 all day afterwards.

Nintendo just announces games whenever they want. They've made it clear in the last three years E3 is not a priority for them at least in terms of announcements.

It should be a continuation of the Switch reveal where he was just on stage with some concept art, and the translator literally dies from trying to keep up with what he's talking about.
