I put my nostalgia aside and voted Gen VII. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have such dynamic backgrounds and eye-catching Pokémon. They're beautifully designed... But I was this close 🤏 to voting Gen I.
I thinking about picking up Fire Red, but I might have ruined the experience for myself a few years ago. I played Fire Red with an emulator at 6x speed, and I beat the entire game in 8 hours. I doubt that this version would allow that. 🤷
As good as this looks (7-8/10), I cannot justify spending $70 on a Mario sports game. It's way too much. How is this worth as much as DK Bananza? Mario sports games shouldn't cost more than $50, especially with the lack of single-player content. This feels like a swing and a miss (all puns intended).
When I was a kid, I had both the Kabuto and Kabutops cards and a little Kabuto toy, and thought they were the coolest Pokémon. Then I found out horseshoe crabs were real, and it blew my little mind.
Oh my goodness, PLEASE. I held off on picking this one up over the holidays because people said how low the resolution was for the game on Switch 2. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Most people here in the U.S. are barely living paycheck to paycheck. With tariffs, economy, job losses, and our ever-weakening dollar, I'm not surprised by this in the slightest.
I'm kind of shocked just how often I pick up my Steam Deck since I got the Switch 2. The Switch 2 is incredible, but the support has been lacking at best. Most of my Switch 1 games look terrible on the Switch 2. It's a real shame, honestly. I expected a lot more from the backwards compatibility. :/
My games all work, but the resolution and frame rate caps on most of my games leads me to pick up my Steam Deck more often than I thought I would after getting a Switch 2.
I don't know if anyone else is in the same camp as me, but I'm just so done spending money on this stuff. Every company is coming out with controllers and accessories for Switch 2, and I'm still burned out on how much I spent on the console and a single Pro Controller. Like, I'm good. I'm sure these are nice, but I think I'm going to forego spending money on hardware for as long as possible.
While playing Silksong, I am simultaneously grinning ear-to-ear at how cute it is, weeping at how beautiful it is, and pounding my head on my desk at my umpteenth attempt at a boss fight. If this game isn't a 10/10, then I don't know what is.
Personally, I think this is so weird and wacky, and I absolutely love it. Yeah, it's expensive, but who cares. It's incredibly niche that most people won't buy it. I think Nintendo knows most people aren't interested, and I love that they're making it anyway.
I got a part in the game that started to break me. I had my head in my hands. I don't know what it was about this one battle, but it took me around 30 attempts. Then I did it. Oh my gosh, what a feeling. This game is pretty much as good as games can get.
I'm watching the State of Play right now. Oh my gosh, this looks so boring. hahaha!! It's just Uncharted. It looks like every other third-person action-adventure game. I couldn't care less.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Tennis Fever?
@brandonbwii I mean, for sure. EA sports games shouldn't cost more than $10 a year because it's basically a paid annual update. 😂

Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection To Be Delisted Just Two Years After Release
So, I guess it's time to sail the open seas.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario Tennis Fever For Switch 2?
I don't think Mario sports games should be $70. They should really only be $40–$60.
Re: Video: Pragmata Demo Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch 2, Xbox Series S, PS5)
It absolutely blows my mind that a tablet is standing toe-to-toe with modern consoles. Way to go, little Switch 2!
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Joy-Con 2 Set?
I can't justify spending $100 on two joycons. I'm glad I got the Switch 2 on day 1 because I've already been priced out.

Re: Video: Skyrim Still Isn't 60fps On Switch 2, But Here's How It Fares Against Switch 1
I honestly think it looks worse on Switch 2.
Re: Talking Point: Six Months Since Launch, How Would You Rate Switch 2?
I'm kind of shocked just how often I pick up my Steam Deck since I got the Switch 2. The Switch 2 is incredible, but the support has been lacking at best. Most of my Switch 1 games look terrible on the Switch 2. It's a real shame, honestly. I expected a lot more from the backwards compatibility. :/
Re: Japanese Charts: Kirby Air Riders Is Off To A Flying Start
Whoa. Not one PlayStation game was in the top 10? 😯
Re: NieR:Automata Finally Lands Switch 2 Compatibility Update
Nier Automata is one of, if not the greatest games I have ever played. This is fantastic news.
Re: Star Fox Programmer's Next Game May As Well Be A New Entry In Nintendo's Series
I've had my eye on this one for a while. It looks fantastic!
Re: Fortnite's Latest Trailer Is An Unsettling Realisation Of Its Crossover Ambitions
As someone who has never played Fortnite, this was a very overwhelming minute of content.
Re: Official Zelda Movie Photos Give Us Our Best Look Yet At Link And Zelda
It is genuinely spooky how similar he looks to the Link concept art for Twilight Princess.
Re: Random: Do You Miss Metroid Prime: Blast Ball? Don't Worry, PlayStation Has Got You Covered
This certainly will be a game.
Re: How Are You Finding Switch Game And App Compatibility On The Switch 2?
My games all work, but the resolution and frame rate caps on most of my games leads me to pick up my Steam Deck more often than I thought I would after getting a Switch 2.
Re: Feature: Now Samus Is Doing It - What Is It About The 'Akira Slide' That's So Great?
Why? Because Akira is effing amazing and one of the coolest things the human race has ever created. That's why.
Re: Service! Overcooked 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Is Ready To Eat Today
This absolutely should have been a free update. I'll pass.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Firework Sequence In A Video Game?
No question. Nier Automata.
Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends Z-A Is The Creepiest Entry Yet, Not In A Good Way
I genuinely cannot believe this is what a $100 AAA game looks like. It is crazy to me that people are defending this game.
Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends Z-A Is The Creepiest Entry Yet, Not In A Good Way
@SlamDunk22_ One might say "unfinished"
Re: Review: Persona 3 Reload (Switch 2) - A Great Remake, But Still Not Definitive
I'm kind of shocked this is running at 30 fps. I played the whole 102 hours of this game on my Steam Deck OLED, and it was locked at 60 fps.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Let's be real. If this didn't have the Pokémon brand attached to it, it would have limped away with a 6/10, especially for that $100 price tag.
Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sales Almost 50/50 Across Switch And Switch 2
The Pokémon Company is never going to make their games better so long as people keep buying them.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
This game is not for me, but have fun everyone who is picking it up.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pokémon Legends: Z-A
As always with this franchise, I'm good. It's literally been decades since I could get excited about Pokémon, and it looks like I'll still be waiting.
Re: Motördoom Is A Weird Mix Of Demon Slaying And BMX Tricks, But It Looks Kinda Gnarly
I don't know if I've ever seen a game like this where my immediate response was, "This game was made for Dunkey."
Re: Japanese Charts: Sucker Punch Stops Mario Galaxy Soaring Too High
I think Nintendo stopped Mario with that ridiculous price tag.
Re: Turtle Beach Unveils New Range Of Officially Licensed Switch 2 Accessories - Controllers, Cases And More
Cool... and I'm good, thanks.
Re: Hori's New Switch 2 Pad Lets You Lock The Home And Capture Buttons
I don't know if anyone else is in the same camp as me, but I'm just so done spending money on this stuff.

Re: Reminder: You Have Just One More Week To Play Star Wars: Hunters
Completely forgot this game existed. Time to give it the good ol' execution order 66.
Re: Opinion: Why Focus On Silksong's Difficulty When We Need To Talk About How Cute It is?
While playing Silksong, I am simultaneously grinning ear-to-ear at how cute it is, weeping at how beautiful it is, and pounding my head on my desk at my umpteenth attempt at a boss fight. If this game isn't a 10/10, then I don't know what is.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Super Mario's Game History In 40th Anniversary Timeline
I think we'd be okay if Nintendo left Super Mario Run off of this list 😂
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer
Re: Review: Hollow Knight: Silksong - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Woven To Brutal Perfection
I'm around 15 hours in. It's one of the best platformers I've ever played. Honest to goodness, it's a masterpiece.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
I feel like I'm already getting priced out of this generation, and it just started. For now, I think I'm just going to stick to Silksong.
Re: New Kirby amiibo Will Apparently Be Nintendo's "Most Expensive amiibo Ever"
Not a flying chance in hell would I spend $100 on two amiibos 🤣
Re: ICYMI: If You Want To Play Virtual Boy Classics, You'll Need To Buy One Of Nintendo's Accessories
Personally, I think this is so weird and wacky, and I absolutely love it. Yeah, it's expensive, but who cares. It's incredibly niche that most people won't buy it. I think Nintendo knows most people aren't interested, and I love that they're making it anyway.
Re: Mario Galaxy amiibo Are On The Way, Plus Two New Kirby Ones With Swappable Bases
YIKES!!! Holy crap! These amiibos are $50 each. h-to the-ell no. Not a chance.
Re: Talking Point: Is Hollow Knight: Silksong Too Difficult?
I got a part in the game that started to break me. I had my head in my hands. I don't know what it was about this one battle, but it took me around 30 attempts. Then I did it. Oh my gosh, what a feeling. This game is pretty much as good as games can get.
Re: 007 First Light Is More That Just Spies And Style, Launches March 2026 On Switch 2

Dang. That M-rated gore sure is... triangular. Haha!!
Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In September 2025

Re: 66 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The eShop 'Blockbuster Sale' (North America)
I'm going to throw this out there. If you STILL haven't picked up and played Night in the Woods, what are you even doing?
Re: Fitness Boxing 2 To Be Removed From The eShop This November
@Slideaway1983 This has got to be one of the most underrated comments I have seen on this website. 😂😂😂
