@WebHead agree on the snes, I'd actually like original gameboy games to show up. Granted, both systems are old, outdated, and so on. At least gameboy games haven't had much exposure other than the 40-50 games on 3ds vc.. I'd like to play some Super Mario land on my t.v. as well as links awakening( dx or not), and some donkey Kong land. To be honest, the games that most excite me about the castlevania collection are the gameboy games. I know they have their issues but playing them on a tv sounds pretty rad to me
@WebHead I think SNES is going to be one of those "out in a week or so" announcements for a September Direct to tie into 1 year anniversary of NSO. There's plenty more NES games left of similar status to this month's games.
Also anyone think Switch Mini could be announced this month?
I really hope so. I'm on my third set of joy-cons because of wear and tear. Clearly the build quality isn't all that great for these things. And on top of that, my right joy-con has ceased charging while fully seated with the console. So if I don't offset the right joy-con while charging I'll come back to a fully charged Switch and a right joy-con with zero charge.
So from my perspective, a Switch that has no detachable joy-cons can't arrive soon enough.

Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
@Magician im still on my first set of joy con that I've had since launch but im afraid that won't be much longer. My right joy con does the exact same thing as yours. Don't know if it's a switch issue or a joy con issue since i don't have other joy cons to test it on.
SNES and GBA at the bare minimum. I won’t suffer GameBoy. We’ll riot in this piece if Nintendo tries to pull that one on us
Preferably we’d see N64 as well, and in a perfect world, GameCube and Wii too. But... it’s not a perfect World, and we’re dealing with Nintendo rather than Santa Clause, so right now I feel like even SNES/GBA would be a generational victory

Ugh, this five-week slog to E3 is going to be brutal. I'm more eager for third party announcements than I should be, considering my backlog. Ubisoft, Square Enix, Capcom, and Bandai Namco have supported the Switch better than most other AAA publishers, so I expect one Switch announcement from each of them at E3, though not necessarily during the Direct.
But I have exceptionally high expectations for the mid-tier publishers. Nicalis, THQ Nordic, and Sega especially. Then LRG also has their E3 presentation. I assume they'll announce physical releases for Va-ll Hall-a, Grim Fandango, Firewatch, Aqua Kitty DX, 2064: Read Only Memories, etc.
Hello everyone, i have got a question: i have some problems with my joycons, the sticks are not responding correctly; so i wanted to buy a pro controller to substitute them. Does it have the same problems? Will my character walk without input after 6 months like happened with my joycons? Want to know because it costs 70€ here in Italy, so i don't want to buy it and regret my purchase. Also, this is the first time i have to change a controller in 18 years playing videogames. Shame on ni.ntendo
@jak1one Personally, I've nothing but praise for the Pro Controller. I've owned three of them for nearly two years now and they've all been incredibly stable, despite regular use. They fit my medium sized hands perfectly and the buttons are just firm enough for my liking. They can take their fair share of abuse and the charge time is about 6hrs when fully drained, so quite reasonable.
Going on the reviews and public forums I've come across, they're arguably the most stable controllers on the market. I would rate them a cut above the X-box One controller, especially when it comes to button durability.
Some people say the d-pad isn't 100% accurate on a few games such as Puyo Puyo Tetris, though I rarely use this feature tbh and on the few occasions I have, have had 0 issues.
They've probably been my best purchase for the Switch up to this point despite initial hesitations about the price. You may well struggle to go back to the joy-cons once you start using them
Vs Excitebike is an interesting choice for NES Online. So far, Famicom-exclusive games have only been released on the Japanese version of the app, but Vs Excitebike is a Famicom Disk System game and that's coming to the west as well.
I still don't understand what the advantage of having a Switch Mini without detachable Joy-Cons would be. Presumably it would be compatible with Joy-Cons but even then, some Labo kits would be completely unplayable due to the different shape and size of the system, and you'd have to buy Joy-Cons to play games such as 1-2-Switch and Fitness Boxing, and motion controlled modes in Arms, Mario Tennis, and Go Vacation, among others. I don't see why Nintendo would bring out a new version of the Switch that offers less than the original. (I know this is the same company that released a 3DS without 3D, but at least that was still compatible with all original 3DS games.)
Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music

Your controllers may not be broken. I've had similar issues. I did two things to successfully fix this: 1) update the joycons (which you've probably done) and 2) make sure there's absolutely NO interference with other devices. Moving my switch a bit further from my PS4 (which wasn't even on) did the trick.
All this a side, you can't go wrong with adding a pro controller to your setup.
