Re: Opinion: I Never Felt True Nostalgia Until I Played GameCube On Switch 2

Bullies, ugh. I’ve been bullied and mocked most of my life for my love for Michael Jackson, but I’m proud to be his fan, 30+ years now, and I always will be. Thanks for sharing Ollie. I bought a GameCube with RE4, Mario Kart Double Dash and Viewtiful Joe. Three absolutely incredible games, RE4 was mind blowing to me. Metroid Prime as well, truly stunning. Good times!

Nice to see Hogwarts performing so well, especially on Nintendo hardware. Lots of Switch games getting a boost too. Good times, hope it keeps up. For Father’s Day my kids got me a money tin with a pic of a Switch 2 slapped on to it, so the saving for my own has officially commenced 😆

I have the hardware bundle with MKW, it’s for my son, for Christmas. I cannot imagine I would fork out the £74.99 retailers are currently asking for MKW. I don’t think I will EVER spend that, at once, on one single game, no matter what it is or who it’s from. I bought MK8 at launch for Wii U, and I got Pikmin 3 free at the same time. I bought the DLC too, on Wii U. I have since bought MK8D digitally, on sale, for my Switch, and bought another copy for my daughter when she wanted her own Switch a few Christmas’ ago. When I (hopefully) get my own Switch 2 at some point in 2026, I’ll be extremely picky about what games I get, because of cost. That’s just the way it is gonna have to be for me.

I’ve been playing a lot of MK8D this week, my daughter and her boyfriend are playing Super Mario 3D World right now on her Switch, and my son has been LOVING Splatoon 3 all over again just recently, so he’s been flat out on that on his Switch. There’s one Switch2 in our house right now but it’s safely hidden till December 25th. I sincerely hope I can get one for myself in 2026. Have fun everyone!

@Qwiff Yoshi’s Woolly World… I honestly fell in love with that game from the very first, single screenshot I saw in Official Nintendo Magazine, a long time ago 😆 it was ages before it actually released but I absolutely adored it when it did. Still stunning to look at and so much fun to play. Yoshi’s Island is one of my favourite games ever and for my Woolly World is right up there with it.
