Dang, Lego Star Wars really jumped up the charts. I know those games often go on sale, but that was enough for such a leap? Crazy.

Having last week's ranking in the first column and this week's ranking in the second column will never not break my brain.

I can understand the rise Super Mario Galaxy has experienced this week. I almost bought the game myself this weekend, and that's coming from someone who's already bought the 1&2 physical.

Hmm, will be interesting to see how well this runs on the Switch 1. I suspect it'll chug like late game Civ VI.

I really hope I’m wrong but I have a bad feeling about this movie. Something just isn’t sitting right with me and I can’t pinpoint it.

@anoyonmus

Per se!!

Music confirmed!

I think it bodes well that he has composed for both films and video games. Plus, he should have a good feel for Wes Ball's vision, having worked with him multiple times.

@Erigen Great minds think alike 😆

This is the best update yet! And I figure it must mean we'll get a Direct tomorrow.

@Skunkfish likely a sale price. It’s normally $29.99, does go on sale often. If you’re going to get it on PC, I’d recommend GOG since it’s DRM free.

However, the vast majority of Switch owners don’t have another platform where they play games. Frostpunk might be fun for them.

Pour It On/Missing Ink is my current track on repeat.

Amaterasu and Ammy confirmed for Smash!! No? Ugh. One can dream.

Ooh. He did the Daredevil intro music, so I'm sold.

It's giving Wario Land: Shake It! and A Boy and His Blob vibes, and I'm here for it. Forever live hand drawn animation.

"She's jest-a-friend"

Brutal, Hugh!

@PinballBuzzbro
The console is $450 dollars.

Are you ok?

@Folkloner Nate is 100% not a guesswork merchant. He has access to information from Nintendo employees.

The CPU would be the main limiting factor for a port.

I'm really looking forward to playing this but I'm gonna wait on starting it until I beat Pragmata, which comes out only a day after this and for me takes priority

My expectations are so low for this film. At least with the Mario films you can have the baseline expectation that they’re going to look gorgeous and just be fun to watch if nothing else. Live action and presumably serious for a series that is even at its darkest still better served by a cartoon style is just not the direction for me. Not to mention that the story has rarely been particularly deep in Zelda and that’s going to be something they need to get right in lieu of visual spectacle like the Mario films.

I’ll still watch it and who knows, it might be pleasantly surprising but I’m really finding it hard to get excited about it.

“Availubbuule” was funny.

Forget a Star Fox movie, we need Hugh Morris on the big screen NOW

Honestly, this game is alright. Have had some good fun with it 🤷‍♂️

Where I work (a large retailer in the UK on the game-planning performance side), the Switch 2 has really slowed on sales, even with the £10/£20 RRPs on the console and controllers. We have been receiving fewer shipment allocations recently as stock is piling up in our stores and warehouses. Pokémon Pokopia did shift the needle a little bit, but I think it will take the next mainline Mario/Zelda/Animal Crossing/Pokémon game before things really take off sales-wise. It seems like the sales in Asian markets are really doing the heavy lifting right now, and 20 million sold in a year would be a great achievement for Nintendo, considering the economic climate, RAM/SSD issues and lack of new consumer-demanding 1st party content.

A proper EU physical switch release please

No Deadzone: Rogue again? Such a great game. It's weird how this site is ignoring this game.

Would 100% get this on day 1 if I actually had the time to play it. My summer is looking more and more stacked

@PinballBuzzbro but that's exactly how a purchase incentive works.

You could position that as a complaint on literally any item that's priced at a point you disagree with and it would be a waste of energy.

And for those of us in Bubbles land?

I will wait for the Switch 2 edition

@Vyacheslav333 posted yesterday. Time Extension. Not sure if it made it to NL front page.

Just got mine!

DAY ONE purchase.

@JHDK Expect the worst lol

I am truly stoked about it.
It just looks so beautiful and fun!

I'm not familiar with his work, but if it is indeed the case, then congratulations to John Paesano! No matter who is the composer for the film's score, it is going to be a tremendous honor.

I just wish I had remembered to write a letter to Wes Ball and recommend another composer by the same of Sam Dillard. He arranged an album of tracks based on The Legend of Zelda called Zelda Cinematica, and it sounds like something you could hear from a Zelda movie.

I am not ashamed to admit it, but the album has moved me to tears, it's that beautiful, especially the track "Symphony of Courage." Frankly, his work is even better than the official orchestral arrangements for music from the Zelda series that toured around the place over ten years ago, especially since he did this all by himself.

And if you get the chance, also listen to his Metroid Cinematica and Metroid Cinematica Recharged albums, as they are also amazing to listen to! I promise you, you won't be disappointed!

man this last week of waiting is going to be torturous

@HotGoomba I owned three 2DS. They all went that path (be them "modified" or not), even when stored properly in their box. Meanwhile, the new XL I had to purchase when I tried to return the second 2DS at my supermarket is still working without a problem and never does this "no turning on except the blue light" thing. Hopefully, it will continue like this.

Boggles my mind how these Ubisoft games which rely so much on power scaling through stats are often so broken. I remember many weapons and armour sets in Valhalla feeling like damp squibs to then read in patch notes that they're now "working as intended", or had their UI descriptions corrected to show the actual conditions they benefit from. It's great of course that they're keeping the Switch version up to date but needless to say, I'm waiting for a sale after they've finished the game.

This movie scares me. I love Zelda sooooooo much that I will be devastated if they don't pull off this live action flick.

I could not be more excited for this game. I loved the 3DS version so much. If this one is even 75% as good I will be playing it for months.

It looks like it will be even better than the OG. If that's the case my GF and family are probably going to call the police at some point to do a wellness check on me because (other than work) I will become a hermit for the rest of 2026 due to this game.

Can't wait to start my own soap on my island when I get this game. Which might be a little while, but I will get this game somewhere this year, once I clear my backlog a bit. Almost done with TotK, so that's a big time drain gone.

I will be interested if this includes voice acting.

Hope it sounds as good as it does.

@Anchel Came here to say this. It seems likely that a lot of the crew will be Wes Ball's usual collaborators such as Dan Zimmerman listed as editor, with Nintendo higher up acting as consultants where necessary. All sounds good to me so far, the only thing still slightly worrying me is the track record of the film's two credited writers.

@Dev-N happy birthday to you, what a nice surprise
