@JohnnyMind disappointed for you that your Switch 2 has yet to arrive, but I can’t be too disappointed as you’re so positive and enthusiastic regardless 😅 mine arrived yesterday… but it ain’t actually mine, it’s my son’s for Christmas, so it is currently hidden out of sight! Have a great weekend everyone. Have fun

@Anachronism certainly mention it, make it clear, I want to know too, I just don’t agree with the demand it be listed as a con.

@Old-Red that’s not a con for everyone. I don’t like it, but it’s irrelevant for some people, despite other folks more militant stance on it

They’re gonna be fine, I honestly believe. They’ll certainly not be, if the first thing people do is strip them. I had to get two pairs repaired, and never had the problem again. Three Switch in my house, two OG models and one revision. Two pro controllers too, which still work perfectly, despite seeing a LOT of use over these years! There’ll be a Switch 2 by this evening, but it’ll be swiftly hidden till 25th December 😆 Have fun everyone.

@Vyacheslav333 I loved it on Switch but I’d definitely take a technical upgrade 😅

Awesome sauce. I’m hoping the DOOM games get the same sort of treatment, I have them all on Switch. This is generally great news.

Of course it is, it looks really cool and interesting. Be even better if it was free but remind me… why should it be again? All the fake outrage and controversy from, um, here was so unnecessary.

@sanderev yeah, I’d love one myself but I really like that the first Switch 2 in my house will be my son’s alone, as much as I want one myself. Same for the Switch 1, he got his from Santa and I got one the following May for myself. I would have waited but I was afraid of missing out on the MKW hardware bundle, so secured it with my flexible friend.

Checked my Credit Card app this morning, never been more excited to see a pending charge for £429.99 😆 not even for me, it’s for my son for Christmas but still, buzzing! Nice to see Hogwarts reigning supreme and selling most on Switch. Love to see it

@Princess_Lilly well you can play your Switch 1 games. I imagine they just mean they’ll be playing on Switch 2 hardware from now on

@Freek wishing you a very happy birthday for Monday

Hee hee, the Switch Lite SKU on its own is outselling the PS5 trio of systems 😅

Mine are to receive the console and get it hid before my son sees it 😅 Got the Mario Kart bundle but it’s for Christmas, hopefully I’ll be able to get myself one next year. Very excited for everyone jumping in day one

I’m a 44 year old man, but doggone it I could BE a Hot Girl. lol I’m a big Pikmin Bloom fan, nearing Level 102, but unfortunately I’ll not be able to participate in this particular event 😅

@JohnnyMind I’m happy that you’re happy for us all! Some people will go to the bother of saying this ain’t for me, or they’re not interested and that’s it. At least if it’s not something you’re not personally interested in, you understand and appreciate that it will please someone else. I love it 👍

Thanks for the heads up. There’s an update for the right Joy-Con and Pro Controller, too. It’s all getting very real now guys! Exciting.

It’s all getting very real now my fellow Nintendo fans! No matter what else is happening or how we feel about certain aspects or decisions… there’s nothing as exciting as new hardware! I have one preordered for my son for Christmas. Let yourself get excited and enjoy!

@Baker1000 Shane Retail Park, if that helps? There’s a Smyths, Dunelm Mill, Homebase, Oak Furniture Land etc

Oh Boucher Road, interesting! I have one preordered from Nintendo for my son for Christmas but I like the thought of going to a Midnight launch!

Correct me if I’m wrong @JimNorman, but isn’t the Minecraft title in the Top10 the Nintendo version? Love to see Hogwarts riding high and doing so well on Switch specifically.

My son loved it, for a long time it was his most played game on Switch. Looks so cool too, great aesthetic.

Majority of people not happy that Switch 2 JoyCons not having Hall Effect sticks don’t even know what it means. Faux outrage and concern, because that’s the world we live in. Always looking for the negative, share and repeat something someone said somewhere.

Press L R to Start… and, well, any other button if it’s like MK8D 😅

Even in its death throes, the Switch family of systems are walking all over the PS5. Hilarious. The only thing funnier will be if Switch continues to outperform the PS5 when Switch 2 hits. I can see it happening.

Holy smokes those are some low software sales

@The_Nintend_Pedant oh my goodness that’s hilarious 😅 don’t forget to change it when you can

@Whirlwound I’m intrigued by the Curry’s discount… I obviously do not know?

@GrailUK I did exactly that 😅

Managed to get a preorder from My Nintendo UK last week. Was at work but they were available… my problem was getting it in the basket! The website was struggling all day but I kept checking when I had a chance and finally got the MKW hardware bundle in the basket and checked out. It will be for my son for Christmas and I cannot wait. I’ll keep saving and hopefully get myself one next year.

Again, isn’t that Minecraft title in the Top10 the Switch version? Great seeing Hogwarts Legacy continue to sell well, and in particular on Nintendo hardware.

Delighted to see @JaxonH making Star Letter! I’ll go back and read the rest now 😅 Also great to hear about Switch 2 Editions and upgrades getting covered, reviewed. Begs the question about the embarrassment of NOT reviewing Hogwarts Legacy, which has been a massive hit on Switch and my son is very excited about potential upgrades for Switch 2. Little does he know I now have secured him a launch day Switch 2 with MKW, but it’ll be for Christmas.

@MoldyPasta my son is currently playing Hollow Knight, he borrowed my digital copy thanks to the recent Switch update. He finally agrees with me that it is indeed a masterpiece! 😅

It’ll be hilarious if Switch 2 dominates, as you’d expect… but the Switch 1 family of systems continue to outsell PS5. The weekly software numbers might not be high, but considering the lifetime sales of the Switch titles charting here, I’d argue they’re very impressive indeed at this moment in time.

@WiltonRoots I understand there are concerns and frustrations, but it’s getting to be I don’t like it anymore 😅 and that’s sad

@MamaSymphonia NintendoLife knew what they were doing with their tagline though. They’re encouraging the negativity, I know engagement is what they all want, and I’m aware I’m giving it to them right now, but I’m getting really turned off recently with all the negativity and ‘controversy’

Super Mario World is such a special game, practically perfect. I will love it if the next movie is named after it.

I have been playing this game on and off since release day… as in, the original release of the Wii U version. I remember it arriving as I was getting ready for work, and I couldn’t resist firinqg it up for a quick look at it in action. It’s damn near perfect on Switch and I hope Mario Kart World lives up to the mighty Mario Kart 8.

@IronMan30 all the negativity and ‘controversy’ is getting exhausting. Do they not like gaming any more? Nintendo? Their jobs?!

People just talk ***** these days, don’t they? Controversy and negativity for clicks and attention, here as much anywhere, sadly.

It’s exactly what everyone says it is, whether they like it or not. Pokémon with guns. Nintendo couldn’t take THAT to court, so they looked for other ways to get them, they always, always knew this would happen, no point playing the victim or painting Nintendo as the bad guy now, they’ve made a fortune.

@stevep underrated reply 😆 made me laugh

Well with the new Switch update, I’m going to borrow a virtual game card from my son and play Pikmin 1 for the very first time! I absolutely adore Pikmin 3 and have beat it on Wii U and Switch many times, and I was delighted with Pikmin 4. Now it’s time to finally experience where it all began.

NintendoLife is the only place I frequent, never heard of Giant Bomb. I still miss Official Nintendo Magazine and the good old days of C&VG magazine, loved them!

It’ll be 120 smackers by then. All Nintendo’s fault no doubt 😆 🙃 🫠

For feck sake Nintendo this is CLEARLY ALL YOUR FAULY! 🙃

Anyone remember your man RCMadiax from the Wii U days?

Ah, Sonic R… how I loved my Sega Saturn 🥰

There’s no perfect solution, unfortunately. What do the digital charts on other storefronts look like, out of curiosity?

I was under the impression that Minecraft in the Top10, is the Switch version? EA Sports FC, or whatever the heck ya call it, and the mighty Hogwarts selling best on Switch is great to see

It’s dead on, I open it most days, I like to see what the Pikmin are doing when they reveal the date for the day, have a little scroll, and that’s about it. Nothing earth shattering so far but pretty cute and fun.
