@IceClimbers
I did, actually.

I've found the overwhelming majority of Switch games using Gyro do it well, and most of those do it very well. At worst, it's usable. But there are those rare games that release where you're like... what the heck? How is this so bad?

Astral Chain, as much as I love that game (which thankfully doesn't really need Gyro much) has downright horrid Gyro. As does Crysis. There may be one or two others I'm forgetting, but ya. I'd estimate 95% of games which release with Gyro, have a well done implementation.

BTW, I was pleasantly surprised by the PvZ Switch release. When EA does bother to bring games, they seem to be pretty good Switch releases. Be it Burnout Paradise, Need For Speed, Unravel two, Plants vs Zombies, etc.

With the TG-16 Mini out of print, I wonder what the chances are of Konami putting that collection of games on the eShop?

Switch Physical Collection - 1,560 games (as of April 14th, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)

There will be a Nintendo "museum" apparently:

Utilization of the land of the Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant

Nintendo Co., Ltd. (HQ: Minami-ku, Kyoto; Representative Director and President: Shuntaro Furukawa) is pleased to announce that its Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant (Ogura-cho, Uji-city, Kyoto) and the land surrounding the building will be used as a new gallery to showcase the many products Nintendo has launched over its history.

Nintendo has been discussing the possibility of building a gallery, as a way to share Nintendo’s product development history and philosophy with the public. To this end, the Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant will be renovated to accommodate the gallery, a decision reached after taking consideration of The City of Uji’s plan of re-developing the nearby Ogura Station area.

The Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant was built in 1969, and was known as the “Uji Plant.” The name of the facility changed to “Uji Ogura Plant” in 1988, after the construction, extension and renovation of the current Uji Plant (Makishima-cho, Uji-city, Kyoto). The Uji Ogura Plant has been used to manufacture both playing cards and Hanafuda cards, and it also operated as a customer service center for product repairs. Discussion of how to use the Uji Ogura Plant began after these functions were transferred to the current Uji Plant in November 2016.

The facility, tentatively named “Nintendo Gallery”, where Nintendo’s historical products will be showcased, and exhibits and experiences will be available, is expected to be completed within our 2023 Fiscal Year, which ends in March 2024.

Interesting, Sony has pretty much confirmed God of War sequel and GT7 are coming to PS4 (both are 2022 games). Makes me wonder if Nintendo will have a next gen Switch (not talking about the rumoured revision but rather Nintendo having an actual next gen Switch in like 2024) by the time Sony and Microsoft finally decide to abandon the PS4 and XB1 respectively.

@NeonPizza The irony to your complaints with Hollow Knight is that it actually isn't a PS4 game that got downgraded. Its a Switch game that got ported to other systems much later.

Same with Mega Man 11. The only difference visually is on Switch it's running at 1080p docked with no anti aliasing vs 4k on PS4 Pro. Every other effect is identical.

The latest edge lord has landed, I see. Let's see if there's any life left in my 'Ignore' button. Oh thank goodness.

@Slowdive While the spammer is around my list can never be considered empty for very long, it lasted about a day. Now they've got company though, which is nice. For me 🤭.

The ignore list is helpful but I find the people I would put on ignore tend to not stick around anyway. The last time I did the guy got banned anyway. lol

One thing I've not seen anyone talking about... when the Switch revision is revealed, what colour will the joy cons be? Will they stick with the trademark neon red & blue look, or are they gonna throw us some character specific designs at last?

Reminds me actually, I've got some of those Skyward Sword joy cons pre-ordered. Looking forward to them.

Personally I think it's about time we got a pair of white joycon...its such an obvious colour and they'd go well with just about everything.

But I think white would be a bit bland as the main joycon set (especially since the competitors are largely going with white this gen) . Would be nice to see a new pair of brightly coloured joycon as well.

@BruceCM Two pairs 😛 One for lauding it with, one for keeping.

@NeonPizza I think your reading more meaning into that than what was actually said. They just pointed out your spelling error without saying something to present it as an attack on you for not liking the Switch version or they could have also just been wondering if it was a different game. It's not like they said something like "LOL YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE GAME WHY DOES YOUR OPINION EVEN MATTER".

In anycase games are good, lets talk about how games are good. ;p
