I don’t like that they made a paid tech demo. It feels like we’re paying for so much stuff. The demo should be the one thing that’s free

[KakaMestrePokémon]

"why the left joy con is a mouse too?"
left handed people around the world:😶‍🌫

[JohnGreen]

6:54 I appreciated the query about potential 16-player local co-op. But lets be real. I'm in my 30's; I can't get 16 friends to organize to have a meetup at the same time, let alone 16 friends that still play video games.

[scrned]

I got in trouble at work for laughing at "Are we DJs?! ...No, we're handicapable!"

[Sylphraya]

I was not expecting a fromsoft switch 2 exclusive. Nintendo legit said "if sony wont, we will"

[onepiecenumberfan]

17:36 for the switch we had Arms. For the switch 2 we have Only Arms.

[Wolfman]

11:40 I agree. The tech demo def shoulda been a pack-in titles

[cameronsnyder]

The price of everything has totally killed any hype I had from the showcase.

[hooky]

Worth noting, if you have NSO + Expansion you get both the Zelda Upgrade Packs included

[ill_luck]

I was so excited after that direct only for those game prices to crush my soul

[livingdead]

Love that prices keep spiking to where I genuinely have to save up for multiple paychecks to buy a single game, thanks money for making the world go round and be miserable

[LargeHawaiian]

Apparently if you pre-order Hitman, you get a Luigi suit to play in, so, ya, IOI is leaning into that one.

[valhallaodin]

The upgrade pack for games you already own should’ve been free with the purchase of the console

[ThunderBlight-kgbk]

felt the aura 15 feet away. 1 second is crazy

[exerblank]

Austin: why is the left a mouse?

Left handed people:

[kadream]

The price for a lot of these games being $80 and physical being $90 shouldn’t be acceptable. It killed all the hype I had for this direct.

[patrickl]

The direct was great. Until you noticed they listed no pricing for every thing.

$90 for new games. NINETY DOLLARS to buy Mario Kart physically. $80 for DIGITAL.

Absolutely Crazy.

[Edge-mvjw]

Can’t believe how long it’s been since the last one. The hardware upgrades look good so far too

[iboneic]

I just want to say, your voice is very therapeutic to me. I think it stems from Animal Crossing NH during the pandemic, watching your videos every day while I play along. Thanks for the great content and commentary on new releases!

[tjhatrel]

That wheelchair basketball game is basically murder ball and I’m SOOOO here for it
