LOL Days of Our Lives a sitcom? Are you being serious or is that a tongue in cheek comment? It’s a daytime soap opera. Far cry from a sitcom despite the cheesiness of it all.
Nintendo really needs to get off this open world kick they've been on. Open world doesn't work for every game and I really feel like they are doing it because it makes the game feel big when in reality we are getting the least amount of effort from them. Big and empty is still big and empty.
No. I’m tired of giving Nintendo money for the same games over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ……. It’s a bit ridiculous at this point.
I’m finding it hard to get hyped for this. The others ran like garbage. I don’t doubt the Switch 2 will run smoother but the experience from the first two just kinda killed it for me.
That’s hilarious. My Atari 2600, 5200, Magnavox Odyssey, ColecoVision games all work fine and not really showing signs of aging…not to mention my NES, SNES, Genesis, etc…. Take care of it and it will last forever. I don’t give a d@&n what some digital game evangelist says.
As a lifelong Star Wars fanboy in my mid 40's, was even named after Star Wars and has a massive Star Wars collection and having tried this game on PC and not enjoying it one little bit I can say for certain I'll be skipping it here as well. There are those out there that will shill because its either Star Wars or its on their beloved Nintendo console but I stopped shilling when I became wise enough to realize there's no point in it...which was like a couple months ago... There's literally no benefit in it.
Game key cards need to die. Huge reason I’ve been hating on my Switch 2. Also, that dude looks like the most boring Bond ever. He isn’t James Bond is he? It’s really Fred Bond right?
@johnedwin I’m a physical collector too. I’m old school (I’m in my mid 40s). I was just showing where that $15 price came from that you originally inquired about.
I wouldn’t say they are gunning for the Switch 2. It’s just that portable/dockable handhelds are what the gaming industry is gravitating towards. It’s a business decision really. Just like it was when Nintendo released their NES/Famicom back in the day after other companies had already released their consoles like Magnavox, Coleco, Atari, Mattel (Intellivision)…. I think even more so now in today’s economy it’s a business decision made with survival in mind rather than competition.
Not sure why....there isn't hardly $%*& to play on it. Couldn't imagine its because of Nintendo withholding S2 dev kits from 3rd parties. Don't shoot the messenger....I'm just stating what the strong rumors are currently.
Nope...if its an arcade controller it has to have the stick. I don't see many fighters in an arcade that doesn't have a stick (I'm being sarcastic..I haven't seen any at all).
Willing to bet the special announcement is a playable demo on all the platforms it’s releasing on. I doubt seriously they will shadow drop this but you know, we live in crazy times so who knows.
@BaldB3lper78 COD is a joke these days. It’s so busy trying to compete with Fortnite and have all these crossovers with characters that don’t belong like Beavis and Butthead and Nicki Minaj that it’s completely lost sight of the actual wars the games were based on, the soldiers who fought in those wars, the sacrifices they made, the honor and valor and the history that made the earlier games great.
I literally don’t even care anymore. Just wanted to come here and say that. Waited so long for this and was so excited just to be let down time and again that I’m just sick of it at this point. I waited THIS long so if I decide to ever get it I suppose I can wait just a little bit longer to get it on sale.
Lego Batman is about the only thing I’m excited for. Of the games that are already in the wild for other platforms, I’ve played all the ones I care about on either PC or Steam Deck (like Indiana Jones). I’ve been screaming for Silksong for so long that the name just leaves a bad taste in my mouth at this point. Oh and He-Man looks phenomenal.
I’m sure all the hundreds (or is it tens at this point?) of you (you know…those who haven’t gone back to Mario Kart 8) will partake as well. I jest….chill. 😂
This is off topic but can I just say I find the ads on this site very intrusive and it makes reading the articles feel like a chore. They are constantly shifting the page or overlaying the page completely when viewing on an iOS device. I find myself less inclined to read any articles lately for this very reason.
@FredBiletnikoff my comment was just to say my very old tech is still working. I don’t agree with neither comment from you or the other person. 🤪. My Commodore 64, my various forms of Atari consoles, ColecoVision still works perfectly too. Tech will last as long as you take care of it. Further, if it ever stops working it can be fixed.
@Dman10 Steam Deck is pretty “console-ish” if you ask me but my comment wasn’t to say “we don’t need it on Switch 2”. I was simply correcting the statement in the article giving the impression that PS4 and Xbox was the only place to play it currently. I was just pointing out that Steam Deck is a great current option to play it on the go.
“ Our fingers are crossed that we'll get to sample the beloved Nemesis system on a Nintendo console one day, but for the time being, you'll have to stick to PS4 or Xbox One to play either game.”
Or you could uh….you know, play it on PC/Steam/Steam Deck… plays pretty great on Steam Deck too.
AAAAaaaaaaaand INSTANT BUY!!!! Honestly I was going to purchase this already because I was a professional competitor back in the day in the arcade tournaments but man, even if I wasn't a fan I would still buy this because they have the professional courtesy and consumer respect of putting the whole thing on the ******* cart. TAKE NOTE THIRD PARTIES!
@kal_el_07241 it didn't fit their theme of "game keycards"...

Re: New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Distribution Now Available
I can’t get hyped for Pokemon anymore. The whole issue with paid DAY ONE dlc for Z-A has frankly disgusted me.

Re: All amiibo List - Every Animal Crossing, Zelda, Smash Bros., Street Fighter, Metroid, Mario, Donkey Kong amiibo
The only ones I care to own are the Zelda ones and I have them all so far. Not sure why though. All they do is sit on a shelf and collect dust.
Re: No Switch 2 "Upgrade Path" For Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Planned
It’s a bit unreasonable to expect this with every game. That’s just silly…. to put it lightly.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?

Silly Nintendo trying to sell us cardboard again. I’ll just stick to my actual Virtual Boy.
Re: Nintendo's Patent On 'Sub Characters' Could Have Some Dire Ramifications
That’s pretty bold…………….and very ignorant. This mechanic has been around for quite awhile. Nintendo didn’t create it.
Re: "The Most Impressive Switch 2 Port To Date" - Digital Foundry Examines Star Wars Outlaws
Might be an impressive port but too bad the game, itself, isn't "impressive".
Re: Tales Of The Shire: A The Lord Of The Rings Game Updated On Switch
I’m sure all 5 people playing this game will be happy with this patch.

@johnedwin that’s the physical copy. If you click on “digital” on the page you linked it will show the digital price.
Re: Rumour: Sony Is Gunning For The Switch 2 With A Handheld, Dockable PS6

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Kirby Air Riders Are In
@DaveP agreed! I refuse to put on rose tinted glasses for Nintendo. Everything should be scrutinized equally after Mario Kart World.

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong "Special Announcement" Is Coming This Thursday
I literally don’t even care anymore. Just wanted to come here and say that. Waited so long for this and was so excited just to be let down time and again that I’m just sick of it at this point. I waited THIS long so if I decide to ever get it I suppose I can wait just a little bit longer to get it on sale.
Re: Round Up: Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 - Every Switch 1 & 2 Announcement & Trailer
