I cant wait for the Switch successor so Nintendo cant rely on ports/remakes as a crutch. They can't say "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ONLY sold 38 million copies on Switch so we're porting it to the Switch 2 as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Deluxe to recoup our losses on development".It's funny looking at my 3DS collection, I have like maybe four remakes and over twenty something new games as opposed to my Switch where about half the games are Wii U ports.
Not saying they will, but they could still pull from Switch titles for the Switch 2. Mario Odyssey Deluxe, Smash Ultimate Deluxe, Splatoon 3 Deluxe, etc. I can't imagine a second port of Mario Kart 8, so we'll probably get a new one of those at some point, but they definitely have Switch games they could port in a pinch. shrugI cant wait for the Switch successor so Nintendo cant rely on ports/remakes as a crutch.

I'm thinking the Switch 2 is likely to have Backwards Compatibility lol.Not saying they will, but they could still pull from Switch titles for the Switch 2.

Lord HELP us if this happens..if that happens I think Im officially done with Nintendo at that point. It was a fun 20 year ride. The only one out of that list I would be okay with is Smash because you cant get bigger than Ultimate and the only way forward is going down...and I know a LOT of people would hate that. Not me though as I would prefer a smaller more focused roster with character moveset revamps but at the same time if Ultimate got ported and added a few more characters in the deluxe version I also wouldn't complain especially if one of them was of course Dixie.Not saying they will, but they could still pull from Switch titles for the Switch 2.

Long as the characters that people asked to have for years and years like our current mains don't get cut, I'll be fine with whatever. Like it would be cool to see Ultimate get ported in some way, but it also makes sense for it to be a one time thing. In either scenario, Dixie will but but an afterthought addition which is disappointing, as we should've been had her. I am concerned as to how much a downward spiral Smash may be after Ultimate, but if we still have our mains, then I see some positives like less matchups to deal with on account of not everyone is here, but that's a topic for another day.Lord HELP us if this happens..if that happens I think Im officially done with Nintendo at that point.

I see backwards compatibility being unlikely for the next gen Nintendo console as the Switch doesn't have it and by next gen, they'll likely jump ship to digital and get rid of the ability to play physical games entirely on the system as that's the near future we are heading in. Some of these places like Best Buy and Wal-Mart are trying to sell off their remaining DVD/Blu-Ray stock and are mainly trying to sell all of that just online now. I went to my local Best Buy around a month ago and notice almost all the DVD/Blu Ray shelfs were empty and I ask a guy working there why that was and he told me "We are taking everything off the shelves and are going to sell this stuff online." I hate the thought of it, but the digital wave is near. Very soon, physical media won't be a thing anymore and be a product of the past and everything new that will get released will all be digital.I'm thinking the Switch 2 is likely to have Backwards Compatibility lol.
I don’t think Nintendo’s going to jump that shark just yet. I’m think the Switch 2 will be backward compatible, even in the digital only version.I see backwards compatibility being unlikely for the next gen Nintendo console as the Switch doesn't have it and by next gen, they'll likely jump ship to digital and get rid of the ability to play physical games entirely on the system as that's the near future we are heading in.

The GameCube switched to mini dvds while sony stuck with discs, and the SNES cost would have been inflated if it could play NES games.Sometimes I remember that Nintendo didn't have a backwards-compatible home console until the Wii, which feels wild to me considering their handheld line was generally pretty good about that.

Damn. That was an EXCELLENT way to turn it back on them lolYeah, but who is the real loser? It sure isn't the DK fans like me wasting time, energy, and money on this greedy mess.
I waste time at places like here.
At least there's one benefit to this current tour. You no longer have to SPEND MONEY to get Dixie Kong. She's now a regular High-End pull much like Funky Kong was made MONTHS ago.Yeah, but who is the real loser? It sure isn't the DK fans like me wasting time, energy, and money on this greedy mess.

I like that segment a lot. They gave her a solid case and pushed back on a common tactic in a cool, open-minded way. Thanks.Good Vibes Gaming gave a nice shoutout to Dixie in their most recent Smash Discussion video, I think it's worth a listen. Dixie discussion starts at 6:44.

also it is the last appearance of DK Jr.At least there's one benefit to this current tour. You no longer have to SPEND MONEY to get Dixie Kong. She's now a regular High-End pull much like Funky Kong was made MONTHS ago.
All of these newcomers and returning drivers better not be wasted next Mario Kart. Especially characters like Dixie and Pauline who were among the MOST highly requested racers.
Breaking news? They did this back in 1996. https://t.co/zcBiwJm8fe pic.twitter.com/dXqWpYlt1w

Man, I get tired of others thinking Dixie as a Echo would suit best for her and nothing else. When will more people realize Dixie is more than just a girl Diddy?Good Vibes Gaming gave a nice shoutout to Dixie in their most recent Smash Discussion video, I think it's worth a listen.

When pigs fly, of course.Man, I get tired of others thinking Dixie as a Echo would suit best for her and nothing else. When will more people realize Dixie is more than just a girl Diddy?
Absolutely. When Dixie get's in, she'll finally get the respect she deserves just like K. Rool did after he got in.
Yeah, we gotta push back on that mindset. If it becomes the default opinion then that's a problem. She's got more going for her for that to be her only option.Man, I get tired of others thinking Dixie as a Echo would suit best for her and nothing else. When will more people realize Dixie is more than just a girl Diddy?
Yeah. It's a clear difference from looking at it as "just a possibility" and completely ignoring that she has multiple ways she can go. It's fine if people prefer one particular style over another, but she's clearly more than just a genderbent Diddy. She didn't start off as being super unique from him or anything, but a lot of other Player 2's didn't, and they still can be pretty damn unique(Ken isn't a good example, but look at Luigi. He stands out massively from Mario, ever since Melee alone). Echoes are awkward too, since they don't have clear information. We know same bodyshape(or barely inches apart) and the same weight(it's said all attributes, but only weight is actually clear to us).Man, I get tired of others thinking Dixie as a Echo would suit best for her and nothing else.

It's nice to see Nintendo promoting Donkey Kong Country 2 for a change instead of just the first game. They even gave Dixie Kong a shoutout! pic.twitter.com/rYVkqx7G2l

The guy who suggested that in the video also thought that Master Chief and Doomguy could be echos of each other, which.... uhh.Man, I get tired of others thinking Dixie as a Echo would suit best for her and nothing else. When will more people realize Dixie is more than just a girl Diddy?
Heyy I didn't think I'd see you here again! Not gonna lie, I'm pleasantly surprised to read this post; I checked out their sprite animations about a month back and they surprisingly have no overlaps. Even the basic stuff in the SNES DKCs are completely unique to each Kong, and to be honest, that's remarkable in an era where it made sense to just copy/paste frames and tweak the color a bit to call it a day. It's rare even nowadays.Yeah. It's a clear difference from looking at it as "just a possibility" and completely ignoring that she has multiple ways she can go.

I think it's clear that part of the reason why some are fine with Dixie being that is she doesn't lack these factors/go against the rules, so it's something people throw in. Some might also think it's her best chance(I think she'd be a semi, but I do think it's with a partner). Some people don't. Like with most characters, there's a clear set of opinions on how they'd work. At the very least, Pyra and Mythra do confirm that the idea of transformations isn't off the table. Either way, I hope she gets in soon, regardless of what they go with. She's one of the many missing all-stars, imo.
Sure. Even if I support her differently for how she plays, I still want her in overall.Heyy I didn't think I'd see you here again!

Anyway, would you like to be added to the Support List? It's ok if you decline.
