Happy new year! 2025 is going to be awesome with switch 2 (and switch!). 🎉😃
P.s Keep up the good work nintendolife, love your content and passion for Nintendo 😃
Love my switch so much, that i have 2. As a father to two, and a third on the way, switch + iPad has been a blessing. PC, PS and Xbox dosent have room in my gaming life anymore.
Its ok for me that they mix it up and try new things, but at the same time i want them to give us a steady flow of traditional zelda. The dungeons system is plain awesome. Hoping we Get a 3d zelda with dungeons next time, and Crossing my fingers for a zelda ALTTP thats been polished 😊
To be honest, i expect a direct in september, and i cant see how its gonna be smart marketing if they dont announce it in september. Either they do it now, or they have to wait til way after christmas so the switch christmas sales dont take a extra hit, and cant announce it right after, people would feel fooled.
But time will tell. Im putting my money on 26th sep.
@JohnnyMind Ive taken a better look at the gameplay now, and im impressed. I felt like the MP series has struggled over time to offer something new and exciting, to much of the same formula. But jamboree seems like a breath of fresh air 😊 Will buy it and hopefully like it.
I Will most likely buy a switch 2 pretty fast, but the switch Will still be my main console. Huge backlog to play through on a great system. Want switch 2 fast so i can play whatever launches with it, and ive been holding out on some games because of performance, like hogwarths legacy.
I have the same problem. Im using my Apple id account on iPad. When i logged into my switch first time, i didnt use Apple id. But now im trying to link accounts. If i try to enter my email that is used on iPad, it just feezes and i have to restart the game on switch. If i try to link through Apple id, i just Get the message that there is an account conflict on zynga. 🤔
@Mgalens Would be awesome if they released physical versions with several games in a collection on the card. 😃 But that will most likely not happen i guess.
Glad to see more good games being added, but have to admit that that was a little tease.. i was hoping so badly for dk64 and diddy kong racing when i saw that logo 😅
@HatesCheese I support that. Would also love to see weather etc be more like it is in Java, miss the snowflakes. And its a bummer that, Even if you put on hard settings, the game is easy. In Java animals/mobs take hits based on what lvl weapon you use and the settings.
Tried the demo and liked it. Can understand the «to easy/just fine» comments, but for me, thats what im looking for right now. Sometimes i solve the hard sukdokus, sometimes the easy ones. 😊
Palworld is a tasteless game in my opinion. That being said, pokemon games can be better than just good. I belive with the new hardware jump We will see more interactive and filled worlds in games like pokemon and zelda. The pokemon developers would also be doing themself a huge favor by giving themself some more development time.
Im abit nostalgic these days, so im playing super mario World (snes) , but also doing some mario kart, rocket league and trying to get into splatoon 3😊
Switch 2 is safe and something the public would understand.. but of course, the fun thing with nintendo is their ambition to be creative. Switch U would be terrible, agreed.
I never buy a ubisoft game full price. The discount will happen fast enough. And in this case, i dont feel games like this is worth 60 dollars. 30-40 is ok.
256gb is my guess, but im prepared for 128 gb also. (Will not be 64gb, they need to make sure parents understand there is a difference between 1 and 2) I assume it will be possible to expand/add. I understand nintendo dosent wanna priorites storage when people can just buy extra if they need it. All the money is going into more important stuff so they can sell this for a «low» cost of 400 dollars with decent specs.
Most logical to avoid Wii/Wii u to happen again, is to call it switch 2 , and then 3 etc. my nostalgia would like to see maybe «Super Nintendo» being used again. And from there 2,3,4 etc.
I still think its common among gamers that they need more fresh air and physical activity. The few times ive gone to game expoes etc, majority of the people there smell and look pale, unhealthy and look like trolls 😋 Not saying everyone is like this, many are not… but i still belive this message is important, maybe Even more important then before. Same thing with alcohol. Many have control and follow the guidelines, but many dont.
@MadJay1664 To be honest, no. Hybrid is for me Perfect. Of course, hope they dont stop innovate, but hybrid is gonna stay for awhile, so the innovation needs to come in other forms.
Wouldnt take much effort from nintendo to relax people and delay a switch 2 release. Give the consumers a bunch of popular snes,n64,gamecube games.. Get updated b&k from Microsoft, release som suprise dlc, remasteres etc.. then switch 2 is forgotten 🥴
Yes it can… 35% of switch owners bought the switch within the last 2 years. The only problem with the switch is that it limits Nintendos abilitys to make Even greater games that demands better hardware. But per today, they are still pumping out good games that is enough.
Nintendos treatment of donkey kong is for me a puzzle. iMO donkey kong is just as important as zelda and mario… just dont understand why they arent making a 3D,2D etc dk game that pops up as often as mario games, and why not build more on other characters also, like diddy kong racing or something new… cranky kong and the rest of the bunch got so much character… so many possibiltys. They are sitting on a gold mine, but not doing anything with it.
"Find the right team..."
In other words, all the thousends of game develop workers you have, are only good for producing low quality sci fi games like Starfield, shooters, and forza. Good job Microsoft. No wonder it is like it is.
Just buy a half decent indie team for 0000000.1% of your budget, and let them release a remaster for the switch and let them have fun developing a new banjo game with respect to the 2 first ones.
Can only hope that a blizzard team that has been in treatment, can produce something decent in the future with banjo.
