@AlanaHagues there are quite a few typos throughout this article.... Perhaps leave out correct on, next time haha. For example: "a cuter version or Cluedo" Might want to run through and make some quick corrections 😊

@Nep-Nep-Freak I read "Htperdimension Neptuinia" and immediately thought oop, time to see what NepNepFreak has to say 😂

Assuming it reviews well, I just might pick this up! Looks very much like something my little sister will enjoy (who am I kidding, I'll probably play it too!).

I've always heard this is a good one, maybe I'll snag it! Also, apparently everyone else here knows something about the creator that I don't, given the number of "ew yucky he's awful" comments I'm seeing.... Care to enlighten me??

I have yet to play a Pokemon game, but I've made a deal with a friend: if there's ever a game with Snorlax, Spheal, and Smoliv, I will get that one.

I am getting tired of all the comment sections full of people stating that they don't like the subject of the article lol. It's hard to do, but as someone who doesn't like Kirby Air Riders, ya know what I do? I don't click on Kirby Air Riders articles or join forums about it!

Mini rant aside, I have yet to beat either, but being about 10 hours into HK and 1 hour into SS, I like HK more. I'm not sure why, though.

I understand that we are all a bunch of lonely gamers who can't go out and make real friends and whatnot, but good gosh you guys are odd. I get that having more singleplayer content would have been good, of course! But why are we acting like it's a sin for the game to be focused on multiplayer? It's a sports game, for crying out loud! You know, the type of thing made to be played with other humans? sigh....

Rapid had such a small nerf it's barely noticable.
Pro on the other hand? It needs 3 MAINS OF INK SAVER to get back to where it was. That's crazy!

@JohnnyC I don't think the next game is going to a Warriors game, just that it will be inspired by some part of it. I'd definitely be OK with another 2D game (but please give us a new artstyle, Nintendo!)

Lovely read, it really gets me excited for the future of the series! Idk if @ChelseaReed will be a regular contributor, but she's got a lovely style!

I've been milling over how this statement from Mr. Aonuma could be intended. Taking this alongside the leaks suggesting some sort of "rifts" in reality, I wonder if perhaps it's referring to having multiple playable characters, as well? I doubt Link would be fully replaced, but perhaps the game will be split between multiple protagonists/playstyles! For example, Link could operate in the normal world, but go through a tear in reality and you instead play as Zelda, with unique capabilities and a different perspective on the story! Then the end of the story could tie it all together! It definitely could be exciting!

I'm excited about this one, but Nintendo probably should have included single player sections in the preview — that's what most "real gamers" are here for lol, hence the incredibly "meh" views I'm seeing.

"The greater good? I am your wife! I am the greatest good you're ever gonna get!"

Sorry, I had to.

I've been hoping Blue Prince and Marvel Rivals would come to Switch 2 for a while! And, although backwards compatibility is a thing, I am really hoping for a native Switch 2 version of Palia!

Looks fun! I might give it a go.

I'll definitely grab this one! Honestly, it looks like a really good party game. I might wait on a sale, but at the same time, I kinda just want to snag it day 1

I am 100% going for this. Aside from it having some fun multiplayer bit, the singleplayer content looks really good — obviously, there's no way to know until it comes out, since the previews are all for the "attractions," but it looks really good!!

Minor typo

This sounds super exciting!! I really cannot wait to hop in tomorrow!!!

@Yosher eh, just make your own with cardboard and you'll be golden.

@TripleJump I feel ya there. I log in every once in a while to check stuff out, but it definitely should have had more of the structured content imo

Well, I guess reading Greyfriar's Bobby was worth it after all! Before then, I would have thought "dinna gang" referred to a group of people having a meal, but now I can read articles such as these with ease!

Anyone who didn't vote for a Skull Kid amiibo is certifiably insane. Plus, if he gets an amiibo, maybe it will be because he is in Smash 6!! It's gotta happen, right? Right?!?

@Crockin Rosalina and Mouse mode are part of it, but the S2E also contains a Challenge Mode, a new story, and new minigames

I definitely want Captain Toad (and the Talking Flower, of course). If there were a standalone Prince Florian, I'd go for that, but honestly? I don't really care for how he looks with the Poplin, so I'll pass. Elephant Mario is fun, too, but I'm already planning to get the Mario Galaxy amiibo, so I don't need this one

PLAYABLE KAMEK WHAT

I want to see Blue Prince, the new Tomb Raider Atlantis game, and Marvel Rivals (some of these other ones look pretty cool too, I must say).

I remember having a Sonic Boom theme on my 2DS! Also, wow they shut down the team that made the new Deadpool game already?!

Why is everyone freaking out?? Netflix and Sony have had this agreement for ages.

@Wewewi eh, I'd say the destruction is innovative enough to count for the category-- especially since E33 is there, and it did like... Nothing new lol

Clair Obscure is in the innovation category?? I'm not gonna dare say anything negative about it, but it didn't innovate, it just polished up things other had done. That or I'm missing something haha....

I have always been a fan of amiibo. I just collect the ones that I want, regardless of their rewards. My collection isn't huge, but I love all of them!

@Dev-N I hold B to speed up dialogue, I didn't even realize you could do it with L haha

Wait, there are actually some really nice changes I didn't expect. Also, we can now to a sideways shuffle. Probably not that helpful, but it's fun

I played 40 games across 445 hours this year!

My number one was Palia (with 236 hours). This is probably mainly due to the huuuuuuge Elderwood Expansion that dropped this year.
Second place goes to Mario Kart World, at 36 hours. It's a super fun game, and it even overtook Switch Sports as my family's go-to party game!
Then, in third, Donkey Kong Bananza got 33 hours of playtime. I'm still not done with it or the DLC, but I have to be in the right mood for those one. Might be a while before I get the 200% completion.

The only months that Palia wasn't the top game were June (MKWorld), July (DKB), and November (Hyrule Warriors).

My monthly stats were:

• January - 65 hours
• February - 50 hours
• March - 41 hours
• April - 27
• May - 32
• June - 31
• July - 51
• August - 23
• September - 25
• October - 32
• November - 31
• December - 37

New year, new stability jokes!

Just kidding, were still repeating the same ones we've been using for the past almost-a-decade.

Hello, Mai! Hope you have a great time making things for all of us needy folks to devour.

...WHAT THE HECK NINTENDO

How exactly are you able to play without finger movement? /genq

Very nice article, I do appreciate it having button remapping options. The overall tone was very pessimistic for my taste, but I 100% understand that, given how regularly you come up against these issues as compared to myself.

This is super exciting, but I do wish they had mouse mode for Inventory Management....

Never player a FE game, so I'll have to give this one a go!

Odd that's it's not coming to Switch 2, but depending on the scale of the game, that's probably for good reason.

Look, I hate AI, too. But as someone who has had my own art (like, literally art that I drew on paper with a pencil by hand) called "AI" because the proportions are off... Yeah I am not gonna go assume this is AI because the poor photo editor messed something up in Photoshop.

I most likely will — only downside I can see is that there isn't an official charging dock for the JC2 themselves.

Lovely colors!

@Pillowpants YMMV is a pretty common shortening. It fits the general "vibe" of the site, imo, so I don't think it's lazy. But hey, to each his own.

@PikminMarioKirby MKWorlds roster felt small due to the costumes, and NPC characters feeling somewhat insignificant — hopefully that not the case here! Also, really? The "bad redesign of DK?" C'mon, y'all cannot possibly still be up-in-arms about that.

As somebody who can't even beat his speed running game of choice (INK) deathless, seeing him do it on a harder game, and at that speed, is incredible!!

I saw this announcement, it's pretty cool! Pokemon sets with it could be neat

Europe is stylish, but doesn't actually tell me anything. I like Japan's being zoomed in, but the random hand in the corner is weird, so US takes this one!

Goodbye to Doug — here's hoping he has a lovely retirement.
Hello Devon — welcoming a new president in a new year is rather nice!
