I own all the English releases on switch but I haven't started them yet because apparently I'm supposed to start with Trails in the Sky. Which means I'll never play any of these, lol.
The most I'll pay for a game is $60 cad, and most of the time I'll find them lower. There are a variety of ways to do that, but like others have pointed out, you really do not need to buy a game new on release day.
To the people who are saying this is good for Activision-Blizzard in the long run... Did the Rareware and Bethesda acquisitions improve their quality output?
I keep all my old games/systems so I'm not really looking for re-releases. I'd really like some brand new games from franchises that are missing on switch. Starfox, F-Zero, Mario baseball, Donkey Kong, Rhythm Heaven, Layton, Wario Land, Metroid Prime...
Edit: I thought of a re-release I would like to see on Switch. Rare Replay.
Not really anything new aside from Vanillaware. I think this is confirmation that focus is on the next console. The next 12 months will be a good time to catchup on that backlog.
I got a chuckle when the Blue Bar was renamed the Blue Bird Cafe in the new version of A Wonderful Life. Me and the boys hanging out in a cafe until past midnight drinking...coffee.

Re: Princess Peach: Showtime! Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch
People are making fun but I think it would legitimately sell more copies with an E rating instead of E10

Re: Masahiro Sakurai On His Future: "I'm Still Creating Games For The Time Being"
Knowing him, he's probably making videos with his left hand as he codes games with his right.
Re: Editorial: Happy Holidays, Nintendo Lifers
Nintendolife seems to have forgotten what today is called, so it's nice to see virtually everyone in the comments remembered.

Re: Tears Of The Kingdom Continues To Prove That 'Open World Zelda' Is A Best-Selling Formula

Re: Best Metal Gear Games On Nintendo Systems
I like Twin Snakes more than the original.

Re: Random: One "New" Wii U Was Apparently Sold In The US Last Month
I mean, it is currently the only way to legally play XCX. I think lots of people wanted to try that one after finishing up Future Redeemed.
Re: Mario & Luigi's New Voice Actor Has Been Revealed
I still don't understand why they didn't just have Charles record a bunch of silly words in a single session and reuse them for decades.

Re: Soapbox: What Do You Do When Nintendo Ticks Off Your ENTIRE Most-Wanted List?
I keep all my old games/systems so I'm not really looking for re-releases. I'd really like some brand new games from franchises that are missing on switch. Starfox, F-Zero, Mario baseball, Donkey Kong, Rhythm Heaven, Layton, Wario Land, Metroid Prime...
Edit: I thought of a re-release I would like to see on Switch. Rare Replay.

Re: Soapbox: FOMO Nearly Ruined Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom For Me
I always watch the first trailer of a new game/movie and that's it. Everything after that is full of spoilers.
And I'm not sure what 'dungeon' you're complaining about. TotK doesn't have any dungeons 😊

Not really anything new aside from Vanillaware. I think this is confirmation that focus is on the next console. The next 12 months will be a good time to catchup on that backlog.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Thanks Charles Martinet For Being The Voice Of Mario In Heartfelt Message

Re: Charles Martinet Will No Longer Be The Voice Of Mario
So the last time we get to hear Charles as Mario is in...Sparks of Hope?
Re: Charles Martinet Will No Longer Be The Voice Of Mario
This is devastating. Couldn't they just record all his lines right now and reuse them for a few decades?
EDIT: What about Luigi, Waluigi, and Wario? They all have iconic voices also.
