@Ironcore this. My Steamdeck is waiting patiently to see if it will need to replace the switch with my big library stuff. If my 120+ games in switch are stuck there then I will. I longer by any non exclusive game on the next Nintendo
If I can’t play the next Nintendo console off Tv (like I could with Wii u, 3ds, switch etc) then I can’t play it often.
Ask my PS5 how often it’s turned on.
How Nintendo handles the eshop game library with the cross over to the successor will directly impact where I put my money moving in. If I have my whole switch library on the switch 2 that’s all good. If not, I’m rebuying the best ones in my Steamdeck and buying nothing in switch 2 aside from exclusives.
@Will808 no worries! I started again and finally finished GS recently so I’m so excited for the next one! I’ll likely bin off Pokémon by then and dive headfirst in
My wife wants to play this with me and that’s the only reason I’m buying this game. I wanted to bite with my wallet but I guess once again I’m part of the problem.
This is how we know a Direct is imminent because this will be announced in that. If Nintendo weren’t gearing up for announcements then other places could do it.
@Luke937 while I understand your point I’ve played and loved some very unique indie games over the last few years. I almost prefer them to a lot of AAA games coming out right now. If you’re a fan of pixel art as much as me then indie is a feast
I’m a huge fan of the HD-2D style and I rally enjoyed Octopath - I felt there’s a bit too much of it though and I’m not even half way though. I really hope they do more games like this. I want to play Chrono Trigger and I’d love a Golden Sun 1+2 package too
@JakedaArbok ha glad I’m not the only one that would rather wait for the Arlo review. I keep reminding myself that Sword had rave reviews too - if NL think that was an 8 then this review means nothing to me either.
Despite all the good reviews unfortunately I’m still just not bothered. Gen 7 and 8 just killed my enthusiasm. Maybe I’ll pick it up one day or wait for a review from Arlo or something ha
See, this is my point with switch tax being too much. It took me forever to buy hollow knight or Celeste because the switch version was so much more than other consoles. If a game is under a £5er I will buy it. I bought this and I have no intention of really playing jt any time soon or at all. Just make eshop games cheap and I’ll buy them just in case.
I have several £13-£22 games on my wish m list that I’m not yet prepared to take the plunge. If they were £5-£7 I’d have bought them like I do for PS4 sales
I was reluctantly buying a PS5 for the remake. now I don’t have to! They keep giving me reasons not to get a PS5. This is one of my all time favourite ever games and I hope playing it again for the first time in 15 years doesn’t sully that

Re: Feature: Missing In Action - What Happened To These Switch Games?
Remember on the original Switch release sizzle reel there was a game about a child and small dog. Whatever happened to that?

Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Returning To Nintendo Switch

Re: Poll: Splatoon 3 Is Now Available For Nintendo Switch, Are You Getting It?
I’ve actually never played a Splatoon game. I’m not a big multiplayer games kind of person so maybe that’s why.
Re: Poll: Do You Actually Want Switch Ports Of Wind Waker And Twilight Princess?
I have them both on Wii U and would still buy them full price on switch. I’m the problem.
