#Star-Crossed World (and Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition)
1 messages · Page 19 of 1
however really only when it's beyond $10/what the equivalent is in each supported country
there are new rules and a side offering with cameras that only supports one board
it's in a seperate mode that doesn't have everything
not to mention gameshare being limited too (debate on that if you will)
rip Pro Rules
limited on purpose
anyway I am glad they didn't touch the glitches in base game + made it easy to remove DLC and the like nowadays
whatever the restrictions are behind the scenes of making the SW2 edition on why they couldn't go further other than tech demo (digital showcase inside the game via new content)
and even 60fps (all the time and not just when pausing) would fuck with things from what I know
thing is the new rules feel like they should've already been in the original as opposed to paywalled
yeah, moreso the teams one
team mode used to just be a standard Mario Party thing after all
Yaku called it a scam
I wonder if Bandee will be implemented into the story this time
probably not too much
Because he was in the base game
don't know if I can agree on that opinion or not yet it's believable for me
still seems to be treated like base game (there but only appears in most cutscenes if playing 2 player)
I feel they shouldn’t have bothered lol
The next Mario party will probably have mouse stuff anyway
But I guess they wanted a game to show case the camera dood dads
Nintendo Cube using this while making their next game
would have been better as $10 one at least
probably planned out before original finished dev over 2/3 years
hard to say since I am assuming
don't think there's an interview about it either (unless Nintendo Dream had one)
going back to FL SW2 Edition
just making an extension/add on of the core gameplay is already convincing people to buy it
usually DLC like this include a new story/story details to "justify" the new content
Crystal Wild Edge....
Ok so it was a four panel gallery but it's just stuff we know of
we didn't see Wild Edge yet right
Ok the next twitter post on the 24th will be a video of something we absolutely know of
We saw them in the overview trailer
And the 26th will be the last day on which they'll drop EVERYTHING
Wild Edge is probably in Alive Mall
if that's true almost every stage will have you fighting one of the midbosses in the game
though the arena itself resembles what you find in the tunnels/cave
trailer had Fire and other effects obscuring stuff + not the best view
looks so blue here
hmm or maybe 1-2 could also have a starry stage
if you mean Through the Tunnel, it doesn't, we already know that
unless it (and/or Alivel) has an absurdly low amount of Starries
Crystal Edge goes hard
sorry just noticed the tweet
I like
they won't remix peak... (already perfect)
Bro how is this game still like 6 days away I’m going to cough up blood
more like 5
we're in that weird time where it's so close yet so far
But what if they did
then it either becomes peaker or not as peak
It’s possible through the tunnel it could be part of the alive mall like how some starry stages have stages mixed together but it feels unlikely here
Imagine if kirby gets crystallized in the climax
OH RIGHT before I sleep I have a theory about the final boss battle
so you know what base FL lacks that basically every mainline game has?
a shooting segment at the final boss.
so what if the final phase of the battle is kirby shooting starries at the final boss, to seal it back?
better idea: plane mouthful 
anyway just want shooter segment
he will suffer
Cursed
yet arch is just that without the shooting

does anyone like arch?
I don’t mind it at all personally
Imagine if there is a final boss phase similar to zero two
Like kirby gains the ability to shoot crystals at the boss
I think its best for the firsy phase
or rollercoaster?
both divert from the main gameplay a bit more than the other mouthfuls
also both have blue warp stars at the end of a segment allowing you to restart it all over in case you missed something or you just want to replay it again
very reactionary ones
that automatically play out
I do kinda see that, but I almost feel like it's something to do with the concrete structures in Cement Summit and Concrete Isles based on that fence and some of the bg machinery and pipes, but who knows
oh true
always bet on Dale
and then next week for skong
fl's "gimmick" fight is elfilis phase 1
Star Crossed World final boss is none other than:
the week before star crossed world
we're getting like daily news posts
eh wouldn't call a escape boss a "gimmick" battle and either way not a shooter
I need to start Rare Stone grinding...
I want to power up my favourite abilities all the way that I never got around to
maybe here there will be a new way to get them
maybe they will do it like in Forgo Dreams
though so far nobody has found them so...
wonder how fun those 50/50% new Treasure Roads will be like
need to know before faye... 
fai
fae
oh right somehow we've seen nothing of new treasure roads
maybe hal just keep them hidden like new true arena of RTDLDX 
forgotten land always confused me
so there's a waddle dee town where all of the waddle dees live so where are the popstar waddle dees
did they all relocate from popstar to forgotten land orrrr
unless it's different waddle dees then the ones from popstar
they are from Popstar
sure we don't see the specific npc dees in the opening cutscene however we also didn't see any others such as enemies go through
yet they appear in the New World too
then how did they get to the forgotten land did they get sucked tru the vortex that kirby and bandana waddle dee did and just decided to make forgotten land their new home
specifically ones that aren't even animal/beast themed
also the Dees recognize Kirby
no to mention the strange timezones surrounding the New World
as characters from Popstar already appeared on that planet before Kirby arrived
There was no way to go back after they went through the vortex, so they just needed to make a shelter
yeah I really hope we’re getting these
Just a quick request, PLEASE ping me if there’s spoilers for SCW out
I'm sure the server will do so
Oh yeah 
no to mention the Beast Pack being around spaces where you could possibly make a shelter instead of needing to build for one
how dare they don't learn to share!
I’m just wishing for a new character or Galacta Knight to be a final boss instead of a Fecto Forgo recolor
Why Ishikawa why
i always wished there was a dream land as a place you could have explored after finishing the game sorta like peach's castle in super mario odyssey
look how pretty the place is
i'd be a nice post game bonus
we thought that before years ago
I feel like Kirby 64 gets a lot of callbacks in Forgotten Land
would've been a neat bonus
however we will get full 3D Dream Land someday
down the road
does blowout blast count
since it was 3d and it took place in dream land
It may be more like they were kinda forced to, owing to the fact that they were in unfamiliar territory and were sucked in by an unknown force they cannot control or replicate to get back home
And those that were imprisoned were like that cause their own King was sending 'em off to Lab Discovera
time dilation shenanigans
unwillingly, of course
the few seconds of Kirby not being in forgotten land translated to A While for people who got sucked in earlier
So when the Waddle Dees were slurped by the vortex moments earlier already spent months trying to build a town where they live
and then Kirby popped up
or maybe Kirby did spend a month in Another Dimension getting warped like hell
should i stop trying to explain things
I'm kinda just throwing shit at the wall, lmao
I dunno if there was implied time dilation or not...
kinda crazy to think about in general
its straight up what the Novel says happens
and explains a lot of why stuff is the way it is
Are the novels actually canon? Still, huh. Go figure
Seal of approval, huh
Okay then, fair enough!
Makes me wonder if expanding on Kirby lore in this way is partly influenced by his love of H.P. Lovecraft
no
though obviously you could use it for headcanons if there's no game explanations if you wanted (and sometimes it brings up some interesting things)
lot of non-novel stuff mentions the time dilation stuff though even before the novels came out, it doesn't come from them at all anyway
like bit of ingame stuff poking at it + that Nintendo Dream interview saying Dedede had been in New World for months
anyway the most obvious example of them not being 'canon' to game stuff even nowadays is well
RtDL novel which contradicts stuff given in RtDL DX quite a bit (despite not even being the same continuity as the other novels and having Kumazaki commentary at the end, and novel and RtDL DX being released less than a year apart)
then for older ones it isn't like Robobot or Battle Royale happened like that obviously. and bit of games just still haven't directly happened novel-wise (AM moments)
just because Kuma is editorial supervisor doesn't mean he or Mie limits stuff to being like the games or anything. also I wouldn't be surprised if he was one for other adaptations too tbh, considering he's series general director and all (also, most adaptations get some internal info stuff and guidelines from what we can tell, but again it's not that strict)
adaptions can and should be different
yeah
whether you like or dislike said adaption is subjective
as with everything
even games themselves can be considered an adaption
look no further than
Stargrave
getting word that SCW soundtrack leaked
we might need a channel
(and yes with the names, of course)
my world star crossed as hell
welcome back 2022
just got to download it myself, if there was any doubt, it's real
gonna wait to post stuff until get word on where to post it/channel for it though lol
NEICHEL
How'd the soundtrack leak???
Dunno, but I thought this would happen like
On Monday lol
Didn't expect something like this to happen that quickly
The soundtrack leaked?!
someone got the game early, played through it, and beat it
😭 😭 😭 😭
As how life goes
Footage?
Don’t send it here LOL
yeah I'll wait lol
Welp, time to warn Twitter
Excitedly waiting for that thread GIMME GIMME
One of them titles better be "The Greatest Star Crossed Warrior in The Galaxy" or something
Dark Nebula will be real in 3
I Just found the soundtrack 
Well it's not on /v/ or /vp/, lemme check ResetEra
Thread is about to be made for it so hang tight
Why'd it have to leak 😭 was hoping it wouldn't
Time to batten down the socials
Apparently it's available physically somehow??
Of course someone would do it
it was uploaded to certain game soundtrack site
what
All it takes is one store selling early
Against all economical odds they still went ahead with a physical
Someone got their hands on the Nintendo Switch 2 version....
Like the stock is already in stores probably, just waiting to be put out
To the leaks channel
I Found It BTW
Guess the whole $80 package comes with it built in
yeah, like most games
I don't have a switch 2 so this is gonna sound stupid but do physical versions of upgrade packs have the upgrade pre-installed on the cartridge?
Yeah
yes they do
ok well.
Oh damn. Since the Switch 2 ain't even cracked, they really went their way and recorded each new song lmao
Ah ok
that's. awesome i guess 😭
5 days left
but wow this is fairly early
they have both Switch 1 version and Switch 2 version of them, version used depending on console you put it in
Just matter of time till I find out Magolor is Astronomer Dee
That is enough time to get basically every moment of the game recorded and ready to upload on day 1
WHAT
Give us a sign it's /srs and not /j
It's real
If it's Ultrby then I believe
fuck
dudeeeeee
Well...
Yes please
Man I’m doing homework right now I don’t have time to get distracted

Posting this one final time
Yep gonna delete all of Kirby from Youtube
The channel is incoming but think an announcement is being written first
Good idea
stay strong u can always peep in a bit 🥹
Always bet on Nebula
I really wanna play this blind so either I gamble on Twitter not showing it to me or just not use the damn app for a little bit lmao
I'll bet on Astronomer Dee being a Twist Villain /joke
I literally have this taped to my school computer It Better Happen
Really gotta hide all my social media now ahah
Twitter has a bad habit of spoiling stuff, wouldn’t recommend
#1009165798239121448
If you wanna go in, click here
If not, stay out and stay safe from social media lol
🫡
Takes 2 clicks to get to it from here
Thanks for that
mhm
And yeah naturally if specific stuff gets mentioned early here in the non leak thread it'll be deleted
(and be sure to use tags inside the leak thread you know the drill)
don't want someone to accidentally stumble upon it
without even knowing there is in the first place
Well looks like I’m deleting all my socials earlier than expected
Chat how do I stay off Twitter 
Wait for it to break on its own, it worked for me
True????
eh
The delete button is my personal favorite
you sign off from your account?
Not a bad idea
or go full and delete it all
CAN SHIT PLEASE STOP LEAKING FOR 5 SECONDS
I AM SO TIRED OF EVERYTHING I'M ANTICIPATING FOR BEING LEAKED
It’s all Magolor’s fault
I feel 😭
how does this happen so consistently 😭😭😭😭😭
with literally every franchise i care about
I really thought the update being basically dlc would prevent this from happening - but guess it being sold physically in the ns2 edition copy sealed the deal here
literally a week ago we had kirby air riders on nintendo music being accidentally revealed early
Unfortunately this just happens with every Nintendo release bc Nintendo games are big and highly anticipated
We just got lucky with rtdldx I guess
magolor epilogue boxart back:
The one game that didn't really leak is mkw and thats only bc you literally needed a switch 2 to play it
Rtdx did leak the day before also lol
That one did happen but at least it was like. Just promotional material kinda like the early mouthfuls "leak"
Oh lmao didn't remember seeing it
oh right that too
It was just really close to release
Classic
yeah it basically meant nothing because AU/JP was able to play it like 6 hours later
anyway NEW FIGURE THANKS TO CDOTKOM
wait shit we already had that one
just in lower quality
nevermind this game sucks
Now this is the info I really care about
Screw the leaks, this is better
It's quite big
apparently the soundtrack was what got leaked so be ready of any things named "Vs. Fecto Void Nebula Knight EX" or whatever
Where’s Magolor
in air riders
ughhhhhh
In your walls
WHY WOULDNT HE JUST USE LOR AND BREAK INTO THR NEW WORLD!!!!
Blue starry coin 🔥
Then refrain from checking the leaks channel
do i ahve to start blocking owrds on youtube
perchance
particularly YouTube actually yeah given rn the soundtrack is what's leaked
if the soundtrack just leaked doesnt seem to be the case
Well how would you rip it
indeed the case
you cannot play early without having a physical version
or if I guess someone from press did this
it is a sound test recording
you can just record from the sound test
well, likely there's just more music from the Waddle Dee band
well reason i say this is cause wouldnt they need to unlock the tracks by like beating the mode
apparently it might be a reviewer who got a review copy
i thought the dlc was digital only?
Not gonna lie, part of the reason why i dont want it to be galacta is that I know his moveset by heart already? Facing 3d revolution sword and energy swords, etc, seems boring compared to the alternatives
That said, if if its a heavily modified battle i would have less complaints
no
no its on the cart
ah geez
Physical NS2 Edition games actually include everything
What a surprise
Of course unless you stream it Nintendo isn't going to care
Well guess I'm going to have to avoid touching social media or YouTube for a good while
Block Tube Blacklist for those who have it
(Of course, if you're going NUCLEAR, just enter Kirby)
I'm just going to go nuclear and block the word Kirby
how does this work anyway? like, in point 3, does it only function if it's this exact phrase in order?
It's just a list, there's no real order
It will need to match the phrases though
The extension will just re-check the list and any video titles using any of these entries will not show up
I also decluttered my YouTube interface to get rid of recommended videos, autoplay, and all the other enshittification junk
While you could be specific with your titles, it's best to do variations or just be broad
I mean like, does it work if it's for example "Kirby and The Forgotten Land (.....) Switch 2"
Having only "Final Boss" means it will ONLY delete videos whose titles features specifically "Final Boss"
you are basically blocking that entire word sequence
Really a lot of these are super precautionary
Gotta account for as many potential title sequences as possible
if you dont care about watchign any kirby content rn just block kirby and you should be fine
yeah, I recommend blocking specific terms
I will have to learn to try to avoid using YouTube on iOS though, even by the browser
iOS has extremely poor support for decluttering YouTube
Yes I get it join the Android master race
Just block galacta knight and you'll be fine
(this is a joke I have not looked at the soundtrack list lol)
BTW even with broad terms it isn't foolproof
drastic measures
Spoiler tag every Kirby character name
If I was making these spoiler videos I'd named my spoiler videos "Kirby-and-the-Forgotten-Land" or "Kirby_Forgotten_Land" or something that easily slips through
Including the typo like Magalor 
Someone got spoilered from Magalor typo lol lol so funny
(RTDLDX)
"K1RBY" or "KlRBY", try to get past it lol
I assume spoiler tags count words even if they're attached to hyphens or underscores but not sure
😭 damn
Best solution is to just not use YouTube or social media
You can easily find ways to touch grass and for sure completing the expansion is more than enough lel
Being perfectly candid I'm literally TRYING to spoil myself and I can't even find it LMAO, always the way /lh
EVERYONE BE CAREFUL. THE SOUNDTRACK HS NOW BREACHED YOUTUBE
Like a virus
Mfw the beast virus is just rabies
elfilin juice
He will be baked soon
reminder that there's browser extensions that can block any term on all the popular social media websites
not an advertisement, just genuinely useful
I might try that one I like how all encompassing it seems
I'm hearing word that the leaks have in fact hit YouTube so stay vigilant
intimidating yet accurate way to describe it
Godly Extension
Yep, can confirm the leak hit the YouTube, the person who posted it mentioned it earlier they’ll post the leaks on there
sometimes it just doesn't actually work until you refresh though
or it like blocks the wrong post specifically after refreshing
but most of the time it does work
anyone have the list? i want to know out of morbid curiosity lol
The leak stuff is in the spoiler thread
what's the final boss name so i can block that term 
/jjjjjjjj
what thread i dont see one ;;
Check the #adorable-announcements for full info
some people (leakers) take "i can't wait" wayyy too seriously
Yeahhhhh
I do feel so bad for HAL
At this point they should’ve just made it code based only instead of available on the physical copy
Leaks nowadays happen for 95% of games so it was always gonna happen
they should've just called all the music "stage theme 1" "final boss theme" "cutscene theme 5"
the 60fps version isnt up yet right? they both go up on the 28th?
spoiler blocker so good it even works on wikis
Yep, both on 28th
Unless you get the physical version before
Crystal Brobo!
Remoco-void Chaos Soul EX + New Funky Mode
Ugh Discord has a really cringe, seemingly impossible to remove feature where it keeps suggesting me channels... even the ones that I've MUTED (and have set to hidden)
The darned thing keeps suggesting the leaks channel
Hey uh mods is there like a setting on your end to like... disable that? thanks!
OH MY GOD CAN'T DISCORD TAKE THE HINT
Don't know of a way to - can you click X on the suggestion? that usually works for me
"clear" X
...
Hey we would like to suggest you the Leaks channel
"clear" X
...
Hey we would like to suggest you the Leaks chann-
Discord got so many trash features like that I don't like it
Maybe mute the entire leaks category?
But like leave it in the list
THAT'S THE THING
Sorry hit send too soon
I've muted it, I've set the "hide muted"... thing's still suggesting me shit I don't wanna see
Alright if I delete my 2 comments will that work??
Instead of doing hide muted you could show muted but collapse the category so it still registers it as "showing" and won't recommend it maybe?
Even though it'll actually be hidden from view
Alternatively I technically now have the power to just. disable your permissions to see it manually lol. but I don't imagine that's something we tend to do
Wait lemme experiment here
Discord try not to be trash challenge
...Nevermind that didn't work
...or did it?
...Ok for some reason un-hiding muted channels just prolongues the time it takes for the suggested tab to show up again
Ok I'm deleting my comments on that thread
I have my discord set to show me all channels, which means it can't recommend me anything. But then I mute and ignore (as in, I don't look at them) all the stuff I'm not interested in
Ok so I have "Show all channels" on RN
Yeah just doing something like this should probably be sufficient
and hide muted
I'm not going to say anything yet until something happens
The darned tab seems to have a messed up sense of humor
Anyways I'm tired of talking about LEAKS and TECH SUPPORT on a hype channel so I'm gonna figure out something relevant to say here-
Ok so tomorrow night (pacific time, 8:00 pm), I bet that Kirby Twitter's next post will be a video showcase of something plot relevant
Suggestions Update: Ok so having "show all channels" enabled will prevent discord from suggesting things
Honestly that one did leak, just it's not really much you can spoil out of that
or the phone itself
Almost any first/second party game is going to get leaked in some way and once the time comes it's almost always going to get dumped almost immediately for datamining
I have settings specifically to turn shit off but Discord was so adamant on suggesting me things I literally did not want to see
And it's such a POORLY DOCUMENTED ISSUE too
If Silksong gets a physical release I can gurantee it's getting leaked before September even starts
i have these off in my phone
Eh for now, "show all channels" was the fix
community activity alerts
Discord's doing a whole other thing that no other setting accounted for
and if its not in-discord its also on phone settings
This is not a pop-up issue btw
Discord was just continually inserting a whole new tab in the channels list that refused to die
huh
Problem's already been fixed!
Star Crossed World is leaking online?
Is it from the physical copy of the game getting into people's hands?
Looks like someone got a physical copy yeah
Do everything you can to avoid spoilers
what's a nintendo game that doesn't get leaked
not a nintendo game for sure
the best way to not get spoilered is not to go on youtube and twitter and avoid looking up like kirby and the forgotten land (unless it's specific name for a level or a song name) or just kirby in general (use specific name to look up something)
Who else isn't an attention or clout seeker?
People will do it to the end of time as long it gets their name on the history books even if it's in infamy
The guy who got fined for leaking NSMBW back in the day never regretted it even after his bankruptcy
The streamer who also got sent to court for streaming unreleased Switch 1 games hasn't regretted it either and has openly stated that he'd declare bankruptcy so Nintendo can get nothing
who decided to be the funny guy and leak SCW a day early
You mean 5 days early
Some dude who got a hold of a physical copy early and played through the whole game
where is the spoiler thread
#1408842700488441949
To be fair in some cases even prison time might not be enough to stop prerelease leakers as long they get their short term clout
The only thing to do is not give them the attention
So, final boss pics?
we will not be posting any leaks in this channel, so if you wish to check out the leaks, please use the #1408842700488441949 channel (this does not gurantee you will find any leaks of final boss pics)
Alrighty
thank you 👍
imma personally stay outta this whole leak i wanna be surprised by the game content not spoilered early
I still can't get over how unexpected it is that Sakai is on the sound team this time (not part of the leak, just extrapolating from the official tweet from a few days ago having lilac colored notes)
I now really wonder what other songs he has done and if we've heard that style in previous trailers
Sakai is the goat
Wait is Sakai doing some music for Air Riders too or just the Forgotten Land thing?
we don't know for sure Air Riders but given the seeming confirmation for FL it becomes slightly less likely for the other game
since presumably nearly every part of HAL's sound team is busy with mainline in some way
We gotta seal these leakers like how Kirby is sealing this new evil
Or just give em the Galacta Knight treatment😜
I may not have a switch 2 so that means i don’t care about spoilers
Did Sakai retire or something
He apparently did work on dream buffet but to what extent I’m not sure
He went freelance in 2023
Is Starry collecting going to function the same way as the Waddle Dees?
I just don't like the "hidden quest" mechanic the main game does because it artifically adds time to 100% stages beforehand
Yes, there will be hidden Starries
Well I'm just going to speedrun to the final boss then I guess
The last thing I did for 100% on the main game was IIRC beat the "don't get hit on twin Frosty" quest on the midboss bridge stage
and here we are
hot take
game's good as-is but i wish we got something more videogamey a la mario 3d world
or blowout blast but as a normal non-score-based game
yeah uhhhh
that's definitely quite the take.
I personally prefer Kumazaki's touch on the world.
and having elaborate set pieces in a 3D game makes going through the levels more engaging
i'd personally really like if mario as a series was more like kirby when it comes to their worlds
I don't think the game is that unalike 3D world either way
in fact 3D world tries to make actual setpieces as well
I feel like this snetiment doesnt understand both
I would like to ask a question here: if I upgrade my physical switch 1 version of Forgotten Land to the switch 2 edition via an upgrade pack, can I then use a physical switch 2 game cartridge of Forgotten Land switch 2 edition to access it?
yeah bc the switch 2 version has everything. the basegame + the dlc
there are setpieces in 3D World but one of the things is that
you can see the strings a little too much in the Mario series
even Wonder isn't immune to this
no
you feel how the levels are nothing more than "here's a bunch of objects put together"
oh yeah
(it's still well done level design, make no mistake here)
yeah i mean, thats a thing with most if not every mario game honestly
nah i getchu
i like the kirby approach but i also like how mario does it too
and Kirby tries not to show the strings
i see them moreso as different flavors personally
yes it's different flavors
but I admit I became more like a Kirby fan because of this
thats understandable
i do like how forgotten land does its level a bit more than 3d world for example
and im a huge 3d world fan lol
Only the Mario 64-kind of Mario games don't do this
(as in actually still felt the set pieces in Mario Galaxy 1 & 2)
64, Sunshine and Odyssey try way more not to show the setpieces (though, in all fairness, it's still a thing but not as much as 3D World for example)
but overall, it's just a matter of taste
for me, 20 years of playing Mario games eventually just mashes together how you can just abstract Mario games into the basics and I just can't help but notice how levels are nothing more than the same pieces put together in different ways
the diagetic world in FL is just so good man
I still haven't felt that in Kirby very much since 2011
and it's clearly something HAL cares about considering all the work done just to make sure they can make 3D levels without resorting to the good old fashioned way of having a modeler doing all of it
just for the simple reason of allowing themselves to do actual finetuning
without having the painstaking job of having a 3D modeler change the level
yeah that is pretty wise of them
HAL just understood very well that what matters the most is being able to finetune without the overbearing costs of it
and that's what makes a game more likely to be good
it does ask for a lot of research & development beforehand, but if you can afford it, it's just worth the investment long term
like whatever work is done here, it can be useful for future 3D games
Being able to just generate levels for 3D like its a 2D game sounds like a godsend
Especially when they manage to make it still look so good
If it's like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, they will not restrict the NS2 Edition cartridges from being inserted into a Switch 1, and will run as the original Switch 1 release does
It's only when you insert it into a Nintendo Switch 2 itself that it becomes the upgraded, expanded title, as the Game Cards are red versions of Switch 1 card with the Switch 2 content on board, unlike proper NS2 exclusives where the Game Card has a notch that prevents it from being physically inserted into a Switch 1
Fun fact, because my copy is digital (having owned the original since release), during the prerelease period where the Switch 2 upgrade pack is not out yet, it will launch as the Switch 1 game and change the icon to suit
What I meant was: if I upgrade a physical switch 1 FL into the NS2 edition via the upgrade pack on switch 2, can I then use a physical NS2 game cartridge of FL NS2 edition to access the same FL that I just upgarded on the switch 2?
That would be completely redundant to do
essentially, the NS2 Upgrade Packs act as DLC
an NS2 Edition Game Card has said DLC on board
So unless you have a very specific reason to get the NS2 Edition card (like collection purposes) it's probably far easier on the wallet simply to upgrade your Switch 1 game
The direct answer to this question is: Yes, it will act the same as your Switch 1 Game Card with the Upgrade Pack downloaded.
The question, really, is why you're getting the NS2 Edition Game Card at all if you planned to get the Upgrade Pack for your existing Switch 1 copy.
As I said above, it's redundant unless you have your own specific reason for doing so. What is said reason?
Tbh I've been wondering about this hypothetical scenario for some time now ever since NS2 editions for certain Nintendo games were announced
Right... Wondering if it registers as the same game or not, I take it?
Yeah, something like that
I imagine it would - shouldn't be much different from inserting two different game cards of the exact same game, so long as they share an SKU
There are very few instances in which this actually differs on Switch 2, one of them (unfortunately) being Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster
which retains the same outfit changes as the 3DS versions do
so if you do manage to get both an overseas and Japanese copy on the same system, they show up as two different icons
Interesting
But as far as I'm aware, this is the one edge case of this happening that I'm aware of
aside from, say, the Nintendo Classics apps
Thanks for the enlightenment 
nintendo today revealed the english name of the midboss theme is Meteoric Beast Battle
ye is good name
does confirm the meteor being tied/related to the powered up mid bosses despite the fact they are crystalized, if looking closely at the new patterns/palettes didn't mean a thing then at least the title giving it away does something
goes hard
crystals = evil?
or a power source that can be used by both good and bad intentions
Ripple Star is an evil force after all then 
mainly for sealing things away

beautiful
all complete now
It’s perfect
3 days left, right?
3-4 depending on your timezone
3 days for me YEAHHHHHFHHRJDJEJDJSKWK
I can’t wait to proof my crack theory that Magolor is Astronomer Dee in disguise

what if Astro Dee is actually Magolor's new best friend
Convincing costume
Astronomer Dee is actually Souvenir Dee in disguise
Magolor told him to go check up on Kirby
("We" as in me and anyone else with timezones in the Pacific Ocean)
(Oh yeah and there may/will be a Twitter teaser later today)
IDK if it will be the last one before release, because if they're doing 2 day intervals than the final teaser would have to be posted just a day before release
awww it's cute
Astrody
i like it a lot
it shows both new and old mouthfuls
Ok in 3 hours, what will twitter post? Hrm...
Nothing 
This is probably the last time they'll make an "Elfilin Speaks" teaser, the next one is gonna be.... erm
Air Rider Commentator Dee
UGH WHERE'S THAT ONE TWITTER TRAILER
Anyways so they'll probably post a last-minute trailer that shows things SUPER LATE into the game
it shows sillouette of magolor
Magolor: "these starries turned into air ride machine"
WE ARE NOT DOING THIS AGAIN
Not much longer to wait... augh
A question, if we know the answer
If I buy the switch 2 edition from the store, with the red cartridge, is the new content already on that chip
Or do I need to download the update
Listen as long as you have THE DATA
I'm not asking if I can play the new content on my S1 cartridge
Im aware thats possible
Then that red cartridge is just going to work like nothing happened
Wdym by the data
Save data
Pretty sure if you got the Physical S2E the thing will just function normally
So no downloading the SCW content required... coolio 👍
SCW is a part of the cartridge anyhow
I know it's a stupid question but specifically this is what I wanted to know
So yay thanks
There'd be a disclaimer if download was the case, but the only disclaimer is "Hey this is for Switch 2 lmao"
...Wait you're actually gonna fork $80 for SCW?!
20 for the pack, and then 80 for a red cartridge too
You're gifting it?
Nope! I just want to play at midnight AND have a red cart and box for my collection
or just collecting?
Yep :)
Ah ok understandable have a good day
Plus I like HAL and I like Kirby
I mean if you got retail connections
You got an opportunity to exploit- oh
Just pre-ordered :) hooray for download
We really need to hire a moderator with retail connections or something
Or a pirate even, whatever it takes to fully comprehend the scope of spoilers
I don't think anyone on the mod team wants to be in connection with someone like that 😭
LOOOL
Understandable
Content leaking can seem like a good thing for a number of reasons, like establishing a more thorough spoiler policy, but it's also very dangerous and illegal
Retailers are entirely the reason why spoilers happen day 1 after all
It's all on them
None of us are breaking the law
🤝
But this ain't about leaking content as moreso being ready
Same
3 days
Cause it releases Thursday
Oh it's midnight EST on Wednesday INTO thursday?
On my end it's be a wednesday evening/night
Yes
Meanwhile Yukkuri's probably around a late afternoon
or just... early afternoon
I do NOT wanna know how good Australians have it
They'd probably get it 2 DAYS earlier
(Nah probably just a morning)
Ah so late morning
they get it at like 5 or 7 AM where I am I think
so that's fun to wake up to I suppose
""Fun"" to wake up, ""Fun"" to sleep afterwards...
Yeah Japan's got it the best i suppose
The Switch 2 content is already included on the physical release and thus you'll be able to have it without downloading anything
You think they were seriously going to make this a game key card?
Thank you Bored Francisca 10
And, I didn't think so, but I figured someone was already informed and there was no harm in checking :)
Much appreciated!!!!
IIRC Switch 2 cartridges that have a Switch 1 counterpoint will also play on a Switch 1, but only on Switch 1 mode without the DLC
Game Key Cards make themselves known
If you do get the DLC from the eShop it'll technically become a game key card though
You'll still need the Switch 1 cartridge to play
Right right
Which is probably just as bad
My only gripe with S2E's is that they got this LENGTHY disclaimer clarifying that yes this is both the base-game and upgrade pack bundled together... and then some links to further describe this thing...
The wall of text ruins the cover
But yeah Nintendo will never make any of their first/second party games a game key card that requires download unless it's like eShop exclusives
SCW got a pretty cover art too!!
Wish that disclaimer was placed on the back and it's only mandatory if it is a game key card
Also since I'm curious are there any known Switch 2-only games (ie console exclusives) that are only available as a game key card physically?
Amazing way to ensure you get poor sales that way so I want to laugh at the publishers that allowed that to happen on a Switch 2 exclusive
If it's multiplatform I'm just going to say always get the PC version
i hate youtube brah i'm not even looking for the dlc stop showing me results for the dlc leak (the results below are mostly spoilers so yeah not gonna show them)
Here’s a suggestion, watch a bunch of videos of things not related to Kirby
The algorithm will follow accordingly
you're right
let's go mod mario wonder instead
i mean like watch videos about the game
Oh fuck is MAJOR shit on YT now?!
Damn
YOu'd think Nintendo would... take them down??
they don't care
they're still making money off the game that's the only important thing to them
Hrm
They do care actually, considering reuploaded Air Riders music is being taken down
they mostly just take down music video
rarely ever do gameplays get taken down unless you've fucked with nintendo you're mostly fine
The music leaks haven’t made rounds yet, that’s all
it's literally just 3 tracks
and you can listen to them on kirby jp twitter account for free
(idk in nintendo today counts as well but yeah)
oh wait you're talking about the music from the leaked scw okay nvm then
Nintendo isn't going to care unless you actively use emulators in a way that encourages piracy
They always do this... "anticipatory" measure with modded videos featuring final bosses... or at least videos involving a game they're remaking or expanding upon
Faye's already mentioned this earlier in the week
an emulator won't exist until switch 2 gets hacked
as of current there's no switch 2 hacks that can do dumps yet
I'm referring more to Nintendo only really cared when Switch 1 games were getting dumped and streamed early
Since they're almost always a piracy concern
not true, Bananza leaks got taken down back when they were happening and they involved no emus
There's also that incident where people who legally obtained Switch 2 games got banned for streaming them, only because Australia timezone funnies
i've heard the whole story of totk getting leaked early and played via emulators like 1 million times
Although uncertain if that happened
it did
*Switch 1, that was with Age of Calamity
maybe not 1 million times but it did get leaked like 2 weeks early
ahhhh,
I can only believe it if it was say someone modifying their time zone despite being in a different region
it just happens this is going undercover I guess (though really they haven't gone after Kirby leaks in general as much as you think they would, so it is also possible they just don't care too much about Kirby ones specifically)
I think they primarily cared when it's a big release game that is heavily anticipated
Like ToTK was the final straw for Nintendo regarding Switch 1 emulators
it was not related to that
Among other factors but it definitely occurred during ToTK
and again only incident of that ever happening anyhow
btw for TotK, they did go after people playing it on console too, I remember
Honestly Silksong people better look out
I gurantee that sucker is getting leaked well before September
If it's not right away, then they'll be fine
It's really just physical releases that have a problem with being gotten early
Pretty sure it's a copyright concern for the most part; they've been doing this for years on end
Just pretty hard to moderate YouTube as it's a whack-a-mole game basically
They delete one, ten others will come in
I think they particularly care because it's obviously the Nintendo music releases
with the other games they're being recorded in-game with huge quality losses
yeah, only times it really happens with digital stuff is when: publisher/store people fuck up (Color Splash moment), company involved with thing gets hacked, or someone inside the company decides to leak it
yeah, Nintendo Music is technically paid (NSO moment)
So that uploads of SCW’s music will be taken down when they eventually reach Nintendo music
maybe but more likely people listen to the recordings people take in-game by then
i'm hoping they'll be uploaded to nintendo music right away
i really don't wanna wait like 5 years for them to be uploaded there
do it like sakurai did it with air riders where the first 7 songs were uploaded there
Not likely. Maybe after a month or so
the 3 songs that got revealed on kirby jp aren't on nintendo music yet?
Let a man dream
they're not going to spoil the game's stuff so soon when they care about the game's sales
That’s fair
i'm hoping the final boss is going to be something actually unique
and not just elfilis but blue
Got any theories on what it might be
William Afton "I always come back" ass final boss /j
idk i got no ideas
i haven't seen the leaks either i'm tryna stay spoiler free
It's definitely William Afton /j
Good on you
I'm... not touching that one buddy. You sure this isn't something for the #1408842700488441949 thread??
This may be the wrong thread for that
Shoot
Thank you
Thought i was in it 😭
bro you're in the thread LOLOLOL
:)
Honest mistakes are honest mistakes
I will promptly go subject myself to RtDLDX true arena no ability /hj
Also NGL I was DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to playing that video
Not good enough, do it with the worst ability
I am so sorry 
Well, i really hate Hammer, it's the worst ability imo... /j
Ah well, I only heard like 2 seconds of sound (somehow was able to hide the video in time)
Yeah I need to control myself hooooh
I hope there’s more crystal enemies shown, really curious about their appearance
Crystal Dale...............................
You know... ever since the whole leaks thing have happened
I'm a little discouraged from doing further speculation
Accidentally fell into a hole and died
Rip
When a "prediction" is made and it eerily resembles something that actually will happen
Leaks will do that
Gotta be real careful with the release date near
Ive stopped talking about potential new megas for the same reason
"man that Magolor guy, I don't know what it is but i think he might be lying to us..."
Meanwhile every Mario fan still crying for their missing Mario Kart World OST on Nintendo Music
Seems a lot more likely it'll be significantly later that it'll see a release like Mario Wonder
I expect them to sell start directly selling the OST first before putting it on
Meanwhile Mario Kart World OST's are only made via pausing and volume adjusting??
Only in Japan though
Kinda SOL if you're in the US or Europe
pretty much
To be fair considering how badly physical media gets sold in the US I'm not too surprised
maybe if we're lucky they'll decide to sell it worldwide but most likely Nintendo can't find a worldwide distributor for that
so we just get like, iTunes albums
Not even that
that's the lucky outcome
Like for a lot of Nintendo-based music outside of the games themselves you only have unofficial sources to obtain them
Even stuff like the 3D World soundtrack actually never made it to the US
It's unfortunately clear people is going to continue going by digital streaming until things get pulled (and even then they don't regret it or turn to unofficial sources)
Like the closest I can see to a physical music release in the US is by vinyl records and even then there's more people buying discs than disc players out of an "investment" thing
That's also let alone more people preferring to use Spotify
...any second now
is there no post today or is it late?
Hrm...
Wdym this is the news

oh its here
NAME
DORP
FUCK
LOL
LMAO
aahahah
4 posts guys, great job lmao
GALACTAL?????
GK theorists sort of win I guess
galactal
wtf
NEWBIE HAS A NAME
i tried to stay offline but i had to come back for this
Welp guys hope you're ready for the SPOILER trailer in 2 days
welp
Where they show an ambiguous scene that turns out to be the cutscene before the final boss's many phases
time to work on the translation
the newbies name is magaloral OMG MAGOLOR FOR SCW!
also good view of the render
galactal = galactic nova
basically Galaxy (or Galactic?) + Crystal I guess
So the 26th will be the last day they will post anything, and then BOOM game drops
WHAT THE HECK
Oh hey, the crystal eggplants have a name
GALACTA KNIGHT FANS WINNING
And relatively in their time this post will be made the day BEFORE release!!
Now I can stop saying crystal eggplants
😭
when the annoying people get vindicated i guess
funniest outcome
Always bet on Nebula smh
Unironically waited all day for this
Very starved
Despite already having the preload
crazy how they could have revealed the name literally just a few days into april but noooo

you know it will be funnier if even with all this there's no GK connection 
Worst outcome
didn't make one
Eh it was a side thingy anyways, a monument of my entitlement
well I'm on team GK believer now
I swear a this point if there's no GK connection this is the biggest trolling kumazaki has ever made
they should introduce a new enemy and call it nightmarl wizard 
Bro 💀
galactic nova is awesome so i would Win either way 🙏
galacta knight and the galactals sounds like nightmare freddie and the freddles
we got sealing evil in a crystal, time travel, now galacta knight like name of the guy that looks like GK's mask and the fallen stat volcano looking like GK's arena
bro can be potential warrior a little longer ❤️
one or two can be coincidences but at this time this is NOT one
now how much this means? good question lol
kuma when he does all these connections and at most hints at "some warrior". would be so funny
i do feel like the final boss isn't going to be galacta knight but it will be like, so evocative that will end up spelling out some of his lore
STOP BRINGING THEM BACK BRING BACK MAGOLOR-
stage names spell out "GALACTA KNIGHT" surely..... 
I feel like if anything, he could appear in Z-EX but we will see
like its going to be like what Void Termina is to Dark Matter and the Master Crown
Awesome alliteration, for sure
someone bring the butterfly again for twice the deal
Halliteration
yeah that's the thing maybe
GK is so gonna be in that arena lmaoo
i am a little doubtful they would bring him as a bonus boss if mainly because damn couldn't you have used that budget to give us a boss during the actual story of SCW but oh well
they're galacta's child <33333
that is my bet or he's just in TUCZEX because why bot
Yeah, this is what I'm also thinking
it'll actually be crystal mecha knight
who's the mom
I want to hug all starries
mama starries
Galacta as well
the starries are wonderful little scrimbos
Galacta is a single parent
grand mam
galacta knight when he appears at the end of SCW and takes off his mask (he really IS kirby from the future)
Iron Mam Grandmam
I wonder what they taste like…
….Tastes like a blueberry
i think theyd taste like fruit gushers
🙉 I can't handle hearing this!
🫐
Just fucking scare them
it is an actually scary amount of coincidences
Just do it man [neutral] we need to scare people
We need to give #kirby-news its deserved PURPOSE
like even me at least i just expect blatant references from this point onwards
I JUST SAW THTE KIRBY JP TWEET DID THEY NAME THE CRYSTAL BEAN MID BOSS THING??
I TRANSLAT R D IT AND THEYRE CALLED GALACTAL??? WHAT??????????????
Question is, will this be a mid-boss with a lifebar or will this really be a TOUGHER enemy whose name will only be revealed via figure??
(ok revealed is already done legally)
BRO I THOUGHT WE WERE JOKING ABIUT THE GALACTA KNIGHT SIMILARTIY INDESIGN WHAT THE HELL
Galactal
Are you fucking serious lmao
Yes ❤️
Let's dissect this name
Gal : slang for girl
-actal : play-on-word for fractal
Guys, girlboss?!
Ah there we go-
HOL UP, LET HIM COOK
This enemy is apparently called "Galactal", appeared due to the influence of the meteor.
Using crystals and meteors to attack, they're coming to strike you Kirby!
While you won't be able to inhale this tough opponent... it seems like as you attack them, you'll be able to rip off its crystal armor!```
The funny
