We really need some release dates for Metroid and Hyrule Warriors and some more first party announcements. Fingers crossed for native Switch 2 versions of Resident Evil too.
@LazyDaisy Yeah, the Switch was helped by ports early on, but it helps when they're some of the best games ever. BotW and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe take it for me over Mario Kart World and DK Bananza but just by a hair.
People here are acting like the Switch 2 had a bad launch lol. The 3DS had no heavy hitters for 3 months until an Ocarina of Time remake, and the Wii U had Nintendo Land and NSMBU at launch and then a drought for 9 months until Pikmin 3. Yes, the Switch 2's launch is worse than the Switch 1's, but between Mario Kart, DK, Drag x Drive, and some third party games, it's been pretty good so far.
The internet is way too harsh on Drag x Drive. It's fun in short bursts. I really enjoy it for what it is. Yes, the art style is a bit drab, but I reckon Nintendo went with it to avoid offending people.
Definitely picking the game up. Makes me wonder if either Metroid Prime 4 or Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment will be the September game, but it seems unlikely.
Yeah, that seems fair. I was playing a lot better once I got used to the controls during the global jam, but, man, this game's presentation lacks the Nintendo charm.
I think that people are melting down over nothing. It was a solid showcase of third party games. Monster Hunter Stories, two Square Enix RPGs, new Katamari, Pac-man World 2 Re-Pac, and ports of Yakuza, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, and Persona 3 Reload. Plus a new HW trailer. A respectable 7/10 showing.

If the games are fully on cart, then I'm interested.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Is Getting A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
I'm not too crazy about Switch 2 editions especially with how new Wonder is, but this was totally expected.
Re: Surprise! Donkey Kong Bananza Is Getting DLC, And It's Out Today
DLC looks good, but the fact that we have paid DLC already makes me think Nintendo withheld content until now which would be scummy.
Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Charges Onto Switch 2 In 2026
More Fire Emblem is always a great thing!
Re: Dragon Quest VII Gets Reimagined For Switch And Switch 2 In Early 2026

It looks like another solid Mario Tennis game.
Re: A Brand New Yoshi Adventure Is Heading To The Switch 2
The announcement didn't do much for me, but I'm happy for Yoshi fans.
Re: It's Official, The Mario Movie Sequel Is Based On Mario Galaxy
I'm excited, the Galaxy games were always some of the most cinematic so it makes sense to make a movie based off of them.

I'm glad that we're finally getting Galaxy 2 on Switch!

Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
We really need some release dates for Metroid and Hyrule Warriors and some more first party announcements. Fingers crossed for native Switch 2 versions of Resident Evil too.
Re: Review: Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection (Switch) - Limited Run Cleans Out The Kitty Litter
Bad games should be preserved too. Plus it will be fun to look back at if the new Bubsy turns out good.
Re: The Best Nintendo Switch 2 Games
Way too early to make this list. Come back when the system is a year old.

Re: The Switch eShop And Steam Are Buckling Under The Weight Of Silksong
Biggest indie launch of all time no questions.

Glad to hear this is a solid port. I'll check it out eventually.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds Fire Emblem: Awakening Soundtrack In New Update
I would love to see Fire Emblem Awakening HD. Such a monumental game in the franchise.
Re: Talking Point: Would Drag x Drive Be Better With Miis Or Non-Mouse Control Options?
The internet is way too harsh on Drag x Drive. It's fun in short bursts. I really enjoy it for what it is. Yes, the art style is a bit drab, but I reckon Nintendo went with it to avoid offending people.
Re: Review: Kirby And The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World - Kirby's Best Shines Even Brighter
I'm excited to return to Kirby and the Forgotten Land. What a gem.

Feels like a mythic event in gaming has finally come to an end.

Yay! Great surprise.
Re: Here's A Look At The Official Box Art For Kirby Air Riders On Switch 2
That is clean.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Zooms Onto Switch 2 This November
Definitely picking the game up. Makes me wonder if either Metroid Prime 4 or Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment will be the September game, but it seems unlikely.
Re: Kirby Air Riders' City Trial Mode Looks Just As Bonkers As We'd Hoped
Skyah looks great! Lots of location variety between the volcano, colosseum, and underground mall.
Re: Random: The Pokémon Company Is Putting This Pronunciation Debate To Bed
Nice to know that I was in the right all along!
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct Revealed for Tomorrow, 19th August 2025
Here we go!!! I'm pumped.
Re: Anniversary: n-Space & Nintendo's M-Rated GameCube Gem Is 20 Years Old
Geist is a fun little game. I would love to see it on NSO or even remade.
Re: Review: Drag x Drive (Switch 2) - A Real Baller With Friends, But Is There Enough To Do?
Yeah, that seems fair. I was playing a lot better once I got used to the controls during the global jam, but, man, this game's presentation lacks the Nintendo charm.
Re: Anniversary: Paper Mario First Unfolded On N64 25 Years Ago
Happy Birthday to one of the finest RPGs ever made!
Re: PSA: Shoot Some Hoops With Drag x Drive's Dev Team This Weekend
Drag x Drive didn't click with me at first, but I got better and scored quite a bit. My defense still needs work, though.
Re: PSA: Shoot Some Hoops With Drag x Drive's Dev Team This Weekend
The controls definitely take some getting used to.
Re: UFO 50 Gets A Surprise Shadow Drop On Switch Today
Talk about an amazing shadow drop!
Re: Pilotwings SNES, N64 And 3DS Albums Soar Onto 'Nintendo Music' In New Update
I know the Pilotwings franchise is a glorified tech demo, but it's a damn shame we never got one in HD.
Re: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Blasts Onto Switch And Switch 2 This November
Very happy about this coming to Switch 2, not happy about it being a Game Key Card.
Re: Switch Is Now Within Touching Distance Of The DS' Lifetime Sales
Switch should outsell the DS this quarter.
Re: Switch 2 Has Sold "More Than 6 Million" Units, And Almost As Many Copies Of Mario Kart World
Insane launch month. Talk about a record breaker.
Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Gets Proper Physical Release On Switch 2
And that's how it's done. Kudos for a proper Switch 2 physical.
Re: Octopath 0 Is A Game-Key Card On Switch 2, And Square Enix Has "No Plans" For A Switch 1 Upgrade Option
Game key cards are the most disappointing thing about the Switch 2.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
I think that people are melting down over nothing. It was a solid showcase of third party games. Monster Hunter Stories, two Square Enix RPGs, new Katamari, Pac-man World 2 Re-Pac, and ports of Yakuza, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, and Persona 3 Reload. Plus a new HW trailer. A respectable 7/10 showing.
Re: Pac-Man World 2 Is Getting The Re-Pac Treatment
Super pumped for more Pac-man World.
Re: Square Enix Is Bringing A Brand New HD-2D RPG To Switch 2 Next Year
Switching between Elliot and Faie has me intrigued. An eventual purchase.
Re: Octopath Traveler 0 Will Bring More Adventures To Switch 1 & 2 This Year
The Octopath Travler games are as reliably solid RPGs as you can get.
