I'll definitely be picking up Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem but I chose 3rd party games. The Switch 2 is becoming the best of both worlds with 1st party Nintendo titles and solid 3rd party support. FF7Remake is incredible and its my first time playing this, with amazing performance. Counting down the days till RE9 and The Duskbloods is top of my most anticipated list. Enjoy gaming and play how you like 👍
Onto chapter 8 of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which has been excellent so far. In love with the combat system and the performance is fantastic on Switch 2. Should get a few more hours done after Daddy duties. Hopefully get in a round of Mario Party Jamboree with my partner over the bank holiday weekend in Ireland. Happy gaming everyone and hope you all have a great weekend
@hcfwesker Wesker was at his finist in Code Veronica. Really looking forward to seeing how they update his battle with Alexia in the mansion. One of my favourite moments in RE history
The games already announced for 2026 have me excited and ready to have some fun. FF7 Remake, RE9 and Pragmata is a strong third party lineup and will keep me busy till the summer at least. The Duskbloods is one of my most anticipated games to release and looking forward to seeing more info on it down the line. 1st party releases will fill up the remainer of the year. Looking forward to 2026 and playing some quality games
Finally, I got to start Metroid Prime 4 last night and loving it so far. About 4 hours in and got to drive the bike for the first time. Happy Christmas everyone and hope all is having a lovely time plus enjoying playing a game or two.
Absolutely blown away with support from Capcom for the Switch 2. We missed out on alot of third party games on Switch 1 but the flood gates are open now. What a time to be a gamer. 2026 is going to hurt the bank account
Thanks for the spoiler warning. Im not surprised would have liked the article to maybe not reference it. Been looking forward to this game and trying to stay away from leaks. Done well till seeing this.
Nothing wrong with the site and think everyone works hard here. Please don't read this as an attack. Many Thankd
I've had 6 months of joy with the Switch 2. Mario Kart World is an solid 8/10with knockout tour been the best addition to the series yet. It hectic online and had so much fun with it. Donkey Kong Bananza is the most fun I've had all year with a game and the finale is up there with best ever. Its a must play title and as a DK, it shines in all aspects of gameplay. 10/10 I never got to play fully playthrough Zelda Tears of the Kindgom when it released due to family life. The upgrade is night and day, with this been the definitive way to play it. I'll dive back into this amazing world again and finally clear it. 10/10 Hollow Knight Silksong is not only the best game I've played this year but honestly one of the finest games ever. I was so engrossed in the world and the exploration was so satisfying. Combat is perfect and the difficulty was challenging but rewarding. Most played game of the year and itching for more. The announcement of Team Cherry working on DLC is so exciting. 10/10 Kirby Air Riders has surprised me alot. It's a simple game to pick up and play but has more depth that you think. City trial is such a massive highlight and online is pure chaos at times. Not enough game time with this but another soild 8/10 so far. Could rise to a 9 but only time will tell. The upgrades of Kirby and the forgotten land and Mario part jamboree I've had a good time with and in my opinion worth the price tag but I also paid less from another site not the eshop. Jamboree continues to be the best Mario Party game to release and having a great time with friends and family. Kirby has always put a smile on face and the upgrade gave me more blissful joy. Both games 8/10 Overall, the Switxh 2 is exactly what i wanted from the og switch. It's more power, faster loading speeds, fantastic backwards compatibility and the pro 2 controller is excellent. Its a 9/10 for me so far and ready for the journey ahead of more gaming experiences I'll utterly love. Happy gaming everyone
Just started playing Kirby Air Riders and learning the ropes. Having a blast with it so far and yet to venture online but need more practise first. Happy gaming everyone and enjoy the weekend
Cant wait for more official information from the horses mouth, Fromsoftware. Curious to see how this game plays out and the creators voice is a fascinating read.
Expedition 33 will win GOTY. Haven't played it but anyone i know say its top notch. Silksong is my personal choice for this year. Would have been bananza if Silksong didn't release
Congratulations on turning 20 years 👏 you should be all proud of this achievement and all the hard efforts put in by the team. Wishing you all the best on the future and many more years of Nintendo News
Let's just celebrate that this massive franchise is coming to a Nintendo platform day and date with other consoles releases. The demo footage for handheld play looks incredible and its not long left till whoever picks this up. Huge sales are ahead for it and definitely will hit over 10mil on all platforms. Day one purchase
Held off on this on other consoles. I'll grab outlaws first on sale and then this at a later date. Switch 2 is getting some really great 3rd party support. Happy days
Still waiting on a sale to add to the growing backlog. Delighted with Ubisoft for supporting the Switch 2 and consistantly updating this version. Really looking forward to playing in the future
Definitely picking this up someday. Currently have a massive backlog and want to get through a fee smaller games before diving into this. Need an express card for more storage as money don't grow on trees. Great review by the way
Re9 coming to Switch 2 is incredible. Day one purchase for me. The biggest highlight of the direct. Really thought the whole direct was one of their strongest. My back account cried at the number of games coming out that I'll get. New Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Mario Tennis, Galaxy 2, MP4, Mario Wonder upgrade, Hades 2, FF7R, and Virtual Boy on NSO. Things are looking pretty stacked for Switch 2 and loads more to come. Now back to Silksong
This is massive news for switch 2 owners and same day release as other consoles. Was worried it would be releasing later due to rumors but a day one purchase. 100% double dipping for 7 & 8 also.
Just around to reading the review which was brilliant and have put it on my wishlist now. The package at €60 is great but have other games to focus on currently. Probably will dive in on a future sale and add it to the backlog
Going to dip into Mario Wonder to 100% it with 4 medals so far. Just need to buy all the standies and get all the badges. Not much left really. Then, its Silksong for the rest of month really. Happy gaming everyone and enjoy the weekend
Continuing with the post game of Bananza and definitely my current goty (Sliksong might change this). Also started Super Mario Wonder which I never got around to playing. It's a joy to play and using the SNES controller is the correct way to play. Happy gaming everyone and enjoy the weekend.
@JR150 Never been into Pokemon and always looked the same to me. ZA actually has my intrest as the combat looks a blast to play. Just going to wait to see a bit more of the game and really contemplating getting on release.
@rjejr MKW is great fun but DKB is a banger. Best 3d platformer I've played in ages. Taking my time with DKB and just collecting everything on each sub level. Highly recommend it. Meanwhile, Welcome tour will be avoided like the plague. Happy for people who like it but not spending any money on it.
@rjejr I love a bargain and try to find the cheapest way possible. Picked up jamboree with the voucher for switch online, then cd keys for the upgrade pack. Total cost of €64.59 which is decent these days. Mario Kart World, bought the bundle so I saved €40. Very surprised selects was never a thing and their 1st party title rarely go on sale online or at a decent price.
@zool totally get the solo player thing. Been gaming since the snes days and solo is usually my jam too. Donkey Kong is looking like the 3D game we've needed all along. DK64 was clanky in my opinion and didn't enjoy it as much as others did (happy for those who did). Galaxy 2 was peak 3D Mario and Oddessy is an excellent outing. What's your top 3D Mario game?
@zool much respect on your opinion. I've had a great time with it and mostly just play online for knockout tour. Utter chaos and my favourite new addition to a MK in years. Any games you are looking forward too for this year or do you require a direct to get excited?

New Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Mario Tennis, Galaxy 2, MP4, Mario Wonder upgrade, Hades 2, FF7R, and Virtual Boy on NSO. Things are looking pretty stacked for Switch 2 and loads more to come.
Now back to Silksong
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Has Been Officially Confirmed For Switch 2
