Friendly reminder that the piracy of Nintendo games is not only always morally correct, but more importantly, it’s obligatory.

To add to this… game boy, gameboy color, and gameboy advance libraries all fit on a single 32GB SD card

While this is true I would recommend choosing just a few of your favourite games from each console, in which case you can probably fit your all time fav games from every Nintendo console on a 256gb SD card, and probably a 32GB for all you faves pre Wii.

As someone who has an overwhelmingly large ROM library, I often find I have nothing to play because my library is too large.

Nah, get them all. Just to spite Nintendo.

Like, before I only had a small handful because I thought hey, if I ever need to access them in case my dumping hardware stops working or something, I can. But now that Nintendo is making everything disappear and nobody is fighting them, other companies are following their lead. SEGA and companies in the ESA.

Get the entire library at once and you dont have to worry about media being destroyed forever.

I am once again asking for Metroid Prime 4 and a release date for Silksong.

Silksong has already had some kind of deal with Microsoft in place, so if it shows up on a platform holder’s stream rather than their own thing, it’s more likely they show up with Microsoft than Nintendo. Given that it got content rated already, it’s still due for a release this year, so maybe we hear about it with Gamescom.

Does it? The last time the game was shown was in a Nintendo event 5 years ago.

No, it showed up at an Xbox showcase in 2022, where every game was going to be on Game Pass day 1 and releasing within 12 months, which would have meant the game would be out by June 2023. Silksong wasn’t the only game that missed that 12 month window, but it showed that, at the time, they were confident that it was nearly done, and that they took a deal with Microsoft, because being on Game Pass day 1 means Microsoft offered them a huge bucket of money to make up for lost sales.

Even if they give a release date for silksong I doubt its gonna be released at the said date given their track record.

There have been rumors of a 2D Zelda too, so I have a feeling we see Zelda in this direct in some form.

I waited for years for them to release them on the switch and I finally just emulated them on the steam deck. Not sure why Nintendo doesn’t want my money

WindWaker feels very possible, there was already a remake for Wii U. Not sure why they never ported it over.

The more I hear that they won’t announce the Switch 2 the more I think they will.

Yeah, that is exactly what somebody who is planning to announce Switch 2 would say.
