I'm not trying to trash the people that are happy for this. I'm glad you get to enjoy this feature. But if this is the reason we can't have the old titles on NSO, then screw Home. I don't care about it personally. And what other series does this with your RPG characters?
So this thing costs ~60 bucks!?!? You have to carry around 45(!) tiny cartridges with you, that each play a song "or sound effect" from the game. It DOES NOT have a headphone jack. AND it requires 3 watch batteries???
If it were April 1, I would believe this. This may be the most ridiculous announcement I have ever seen from TPC/Nintendo. And I remember the Pokémon Go Plus+.
That video was awesome. They make very good videos celebrating their history. It's great that they made one for each Pokémon, but they are basically all the same just with a different Pokémon inserted and their matching color. But the animations in the video were something else!
I tendo to buy Nintendo systems at launch - I have since at least Wii, maybe DS. And then I hold onto the original models - definitely the DS. I always get frustrated when they do those new models, especially if they "improve" them. But I don't see the point in trading in a system or even selling it. The value depreciates quickly for those sales. So, I "stick it out" with OG models. Not that I'm disappointed.
"Give them all that they can drink, and it will never be enough."
Yes! Thanks for the great review. I'm very excited for this. It's awesome that we're getting this huge, modern game day and date with everyone else. I hope we all get out and support this on Switch 2! It seems like we will. I plan to grab that bundle.
That's what I keep hearing. It will be very interesting to see how it turns out. But they do seem confident and dedicated, so I'm optimistic that we'll get a strong version.
@KayFiOS Valid. I mean, at some point, they're going to stop making games for Switch 1. I think their goal with all Switch 2 Editions is to encourage existing players to carry their Switch 1 games over to the new system with new reasons to enjoy them.
This is cool but also... random? Especially for Wonder, since that game was already released. I'm sure the multiplayer stuff will be showcased well in a Treehouse Live. But who do they think/know watches these things? I guess it will probably convert new sales. Anyway, I wonder if we'll get additional announcements. I'm putting my money now on new Amiibo reveals. And yeah, 40 minutes per game is kinda wild. You'd think they'd preview more titles for 80 minutes. But whatever, I'll watch.
Very extreme! Let's start with one hundred and go from there...
... kidding, of course. Though I do think it's bad form (🏴☠️🪝) to knowingly ruin stuff for others. Particularly if you're breaking the street date. But, this is the internet we're talking about.
@EarthboundBenjy Wow, thank you for taking the time to go through all of that. I'm not sure if this will be worth it to me. I've never played the original, but it seems like a lot of stuff that wouldn't matter as much, unless I really wanted to appreciate the nostalgia and history of the game.
Oh my gosh, I forgot about the Aardman collab! That needs to come out immediately!! I'm not familiar with Day Out and Night Out. Were those in the leaks? I'd love the pinball games, please!! Honestly, all the ones they've made - Mario, Metroid (though this is DS), Kirby. I've been thinking recently how I really want Nintendo to make another pinball game. They could do a different board (or machine?) for like, each franchise, all themed of course. I think it would be amazing.
@Ursaking Hm, that's interesting. I wonder why they made those choices. I don't have an emotional connection to it, so maybe I could check it out. But I mean, how different are all the different versions? Is it like playing the same game in five slightly different ways? Thanks for your response!
Just asking - Is a review planned for this game? I don't think y'all even gave impressions of it, unless I missed them. Only curious because of my curiosity in the game. I recognize the massive workload that this site undertakes.
I'm still a little confused by what you said about why the red filter is necessary. It's there because the menu screens are in color? Does the cardboard peripheral also have a changeable filter?
Also, could someone please let me/us know about the cardboard version? I'm very curious to see whether it delivers the exact same experience or not. I don't think I want to pay for the more expensive replica.

Re: New Pokémon Pokopia Trailer Introduces Even More Poké Pals
Any word on whether you can use the Game Boy Jukebox to import songs for this? It's an amiibo, right?

Re: Community: Miltanks For The Memories - 30 Years Of Your Pokémon Stories
Oh my gosh, what a silly pun! XD
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th February (North America)
Man, I really wish we could get Red/Blue on NSO. They told us that the XD game won't utilize Home, so who cares? Just let us play those games again!

Re: Pokémon XD: Gale Of Darkness Comes To Switch 2 GameCube NSO In March
@Robot99 Yeah, I'll wait too, if it's a sequel. Seems strange.
Re: Pokémon XD: Gale Of Darkness Comes To Switch 2 GameCube NSO In March
@Dom_31 Well, Stadium doesn't allow that, right? So... :/
Re: Pokémon XD: Gale Of Darkness Comes To Switch 2 GameCube NSO In March
Also, they didn't even mention Colosseum...
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Announced For Switch 2, Launching Next Year
I wasn't completely BLOWN away by this, but it looks cool.
Re: Pokémon-Themed Mini Game Boy Announced, Though It's Not What You Think
I legitimately thought this was a Game Boy Mini. Oh man, this is such a weird decision.
Re: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Is "The First Step" In The Platformer's Comeback
@Ursaking This is good to know, thank you!
Re: Pokémon Celebration Video Highlights The 1,000+ New 30th Anniversary Logos

Re: Marvel Maximum Collection Revives Six Classic Superhero Titles On Switch
Yeah, this looked cool. But am I understanding correctly that only X-Men: The Aracade Game has online multiplayer? That seems like an odd decision.

Re: Video: We've Played Fallout 4 On Switch 2 - Here's 12 Minutes Of Gameplay
So how much does it matter if you haven't really played other Fallout games? Is this the "right" entry point into the franchise?
Re: Fallout 4 Switch 2 Launch Trailer Gives Us A Better Glimpse At The Wasteland
@ElkinFencer10 Sweet!
Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 2) - A Delightful Yet Difficult '90s Throwback
Yay, thanks for reviewing this! I'm interested.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@JimNorman Just wanted to mention that Nintendo's (of America) website says this is only a 60-minute presentation.
Re: Fallout 4 Switch 2 Launch Trailer Gives Us A Better Glimpse At The Wasteland
@ElkinFencer10 All on Switch 2? Cool! I didn't see that. So like, Quality, Balanced, and Performance?
Re: Fallout 4 Switch 2 Launch Trailer Gives Us A Better Glimpse At The Wasteland
@ElkinFencer10 Okay, and we're getting 30?
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Team Consistently Aiming For 30fps On Switch 2 "Wherever Possible"
@rjejr I've heard of those people, yes... 🙄
Re: Fallout 4 Switch 2 Launch Trailer Gives Us A Better Glimpse At The Wasteland
I feel like that looked pretty good. But I'm sure I don't have as discerning of an eye.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Team Consistently Aiming For 30fps On Switch 2 "Wherever Possible"
@rjejr Exactly! 😂
That's what I keep hearing. It will be very interesting to see how it turns out. But they do seem confident and dedicated, so I'm optimistic that we'll get a strong version.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
@DaniPooo XD Wow, a throwback to this thread!
Aaaaaaand scene. For my next performance, I will play a (now-lapsed) Nintendo fan angry about Game-Key Cards.
Re: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Are Already "Best Sellers" On The Switch eShop Charts
Finally, Nintendo puts out a new IP. Glad to hear it's selling well!
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Team Consistently Aiming For 30fps On Switch 2 "Wherever Possible"
@rjejr Haha, that's what I was thinking. What if it's only possible on the menu screen??
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Album, Here's Every Song Included
Oh man, I probably know all of these tracks so well. I played a lot of this on Game Boy. I don't know if I ever beat it... Hmm...
Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade
I would like a refund for reading that person's writing.

Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@Tyranexx Ohhhhh, that makes sense now.
Lucky! Yeah, same for me.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@TrueBlueYoshi Ohhh, okay. Yeah, me too! I still haven't played Wonder - only a demo - so I thought this could be a cool additional reason to get it.
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Gold Edition (Switch 2) - A Survival Horror Masterclass, Free From Cloud Prison
Oh yay, you guys are reviewing all of these! Thank you! I'm getting very excited for this.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@Gen4Fan I think you're confusing Treehouse Live with The Price Is Right.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@Pillowpants I'd push it, if I had anyone to receive it on the other end!
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@KBuckley27 You're right, they're probably actively trying NOT to reveal first-party titles.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@Nintoz Oh, good question! Then I would actually get to play them if I get this.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@TrueBlueYoshi Is there a single-player aspect? Was it challenges for existing levels or something?
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
@Tyranexx Saying the whole title IS the Ring Fit Adventure (workout).
Unfortunately, the new content is only online with friends. If you have those, then maybe it will be a good time.

Re: Talking Point: Our Pokémon Presents 2026 Predictions - What Are You Hoping For?
Oh my gosh, I forgot about the Aardman collab! That needs to come out immediately!!
I'm not familiar with Day Out and Night Out. Were those in the leaks?
I'd love the pinball games, please!! Honestly, all the ones they've made - Mario, Metroid (though this is DS), Kirby. I've been thinking recently how I really want Nintendo to make another pinball game. They could do a different board (or machine?) for like, each franchise, all themed of course. I think it would be amazing.

Re: Review: Virtual Boy For Switch 1 & 2 - Is It Really Worth Revisting Nintendo's Greatest Folly?
Thank you for the review!
I'm still a little confused by what you said about why the red filter is necessary. It's there because the menu screens are in color? Does the cardboard peripheral also have a changeable filter?
Also, could someone please let me/us know about the cardboard version? I'm very curious to see whether it delivers the exact same experience or not. I don't think I want to pay for the more expensive replica.
