I got 6/8 (I don't pay attention to anniversaries, sorry) in 1:42.... Someone, please tell me why I am not on the leaderboard.

@CaptainQuo and this is why I prefer Arlo lol — he took time to look up the definition of "soupçon" instead of just getting mad that he didn't know it. #BringBackPeopleWhoArentAfraidOfNotKnowing

Every time I see these things, I click. I really need to get better about this... 🤦🏽
Seriously, I should have learned my lesson by now, "former employee" is like 99% of the time gonna be Kit and Krysta. It's getting old — they'll never not be former employees, but I think they're hitting the point that they don't really have any sort of insider knowledge, or at least not enough that we should think of their opinion more than anyone else's. Of course Nintendo would be grumpy if their plans leaked. There's no story here.

Yes, I'm aware I am sounding more like a grumpy old man every day. Sue me.

OK, adding a unique mechanic for Bob-Omb Blast is so cool!

I believe that should be "day and age," no?

@Erigen I genuinely wasn't even that interested until you said that. Holy moly, I think you just sold me on this — and I'm not even that big of a mystery or farming guy! It just sounds so unique!

@michellelynn0976 thanks! I'll wait for that, then.

This looks sooooo good! Any idea if there's a physical? I can't remember lol

Not even kidding, I shouted "WHAT?!?" at the top of my lungs when I saw this.

.....sorry to my coworkers if I scared you.

@UpsideDownRowlet OH MY WORD AMAZING REFERENCE RIGHT THERE
Also now that I know you are also a TADC fan, I may or may not end up yapping about it to you lol!

Very cool creation — now they need to make Gerudo Town, with a spot for the Sand Seals (reserved, of course, to the best Pokemon, Spheal (surely GameFreak will add them soon, right? Right?!))!

@TripleJump literally my very first thought. Congrats to NepNepFreak for becoming (in)famous for that one lol, perhaps someday I will also be that well known.

Getting it for the resolution bump, the Mario Party mode, the singleplayer bosses, the new emotes, the combo badges, and Rosalina. Other than those few aspects, I'm not that interested.... 😆

Finally!!! I've been waiting!

.....who the heck made this list?

Well, hey, this is a fantastic way for SE to make sure I won't ever be one of those new players.

@Nep-Nep-Freak considering how staunchly opposed you normally are to games getting updated in any way, I'm shocked to hear that lol! /lh

@BLK_4EVER huh. As a guy who is in favor of less government power in general, I don't disagree, but I also don't think this is an issue at all, especially when it comes to rights.

(holy moly what did NepNepFreak say that got so many people to respond to him XD)

Neat. I'll be sure to enjoy this feature assuming it carries over to a full-on new Switch 2 version (think akin to the SwOLED), but until then, no, I won't be purchasing a new console just for this lol!

@nessisonett
1. I was being goofy
2. Adding "-slop" to the end of a sentence doesn't actually add to the conversation
3. Iron Man 3, Shang-Chi, and Wonder Man are the films/shows in which Sir Ben Kingley's character has appeared. All three are good films.

I love VS already, so VC is an easy buy for me!

.... I'm sorry, TREVOR SLATTERY is in this thing?! That's hilarious.

I actually had a very lengthy discussion with a friend yesterday about why I am solidly against AI. That said, have we as a society just... forgotten about "innocent until proven guilty?" I don't want to let people get away with sneaky AI usage, but come on. Someone has their thumb bent funny? AI! This outfit has an odd symbol? AI! This art is trash, it's AI — and this art is wayyyy too good, it must be AI. It's getting tiring!

@LastFootnote same! Plus, I have a few online friends to play the multiplayer games with, so that should be a blast!

@Phelaidar well, Boost Mode doesn't affect TV Mode, but yeah, if you're a Handheld/Tabletop user, and you aren't interested in the multiplayer content or boss fights, it's not much of a big deal.

I'm just waiting for the Arlo reaction tbh 😂

Faster Splattershot Nova! Hooray! Now it will.... still be trash!!

Wow, this is pretty hefty changelog — so much so that I worry my Switch 2 may not be stable enough to handle it!! The horror!
The Handheld Boost will certainly be nice for me, as I'm a primarily handheld gamer! The option to add notes for friends is great too — now I can mark how I met someone so if they change their name, I'll know who it was lol!

I get that many of y'all don't use GameChat in favor of other VC systems, but don't dis it so quickly! It's so nice to be playing, say, Animal Crossing, see my friend just hopped online, and be able to instantly call them! Or even if they're playing a different game, hey, we might as well chat while we play, right? Like genuinely, this is such a fun feature!

DKB was my Game of the Year last year (Age of Imprisonment was good, but it didn't quite take the top spot). It's just so fun, and the characters were genuinely charming. Kid Pauline is just so sweet! I also loved Heart of Gold (AKA Breaking Through, AKA the end credits song) — Jump Up, Superstar was a fun little dirty in Odyssey, but much like Banaza itself, this is just so much more!

OP? Yes.
Fun? Triple yes!!!
Easily my favorite Banaza for just being a goofball lol, even if for actual gameplay the Snake is cooler lol

@progx spent a few seconds trying to find their comment, then read yours, which reminded me that, oh yeah, I also ignored them 🤦🏽 My memory is less than stellar, apparently 😂

Sound like a great collection! Not sure if I've got time for it, personally, but I do love me some Marvel, so.....

@Game_n_Watch_it_pal I got Birdo!

The grand return of Marching Milde!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

....wait so Fortnite wasn't already free??

I legitimately thought that the thumbnail was a picture of the old K'Nex Mario fig (I have one of him as well as a Yoshi somewhere lol). The body will be helpful, but I don't really like the custom molded face tbh.

I love it tbh! It's just so fun and goofy. I kinda like them all sounding the same, but some have mentioned wanting variety, and I'm now wondering if we could get different versions! EG: yellow ones sound the same, all the red ones have British accents, and the blue ones talk like cowboys! Make it happen Nintendo!

@JimNorman I don't see the promised screenshot.... That said, here's one for those interested, such as @GRW810

@AlexanderDaniels sorry if I missed it and you were being sarcastic, but Haipi Monsters did this on my Mom's Kindle Fire when I was like 6. Cards instead of Pokeballs is not innovation

Jessica Drew and Honey Queen sharing a VA feels like fan art waiting to happen, ykwim?

@Tyranexx

(No pressure, of course, I totally understand why some folks don't have a Switch 2 yet, etc, etc, disclaimers and all that)

No Spheal 😔

Also, while I know y'all need clicks, this guide has a lot of gaps....

@Haruki_NLI the leaderboard is a tad wonky haha — I always just figure as long as I feel like I did well, then that's good enough XD

Perfect score other than the question about which Pokemon are version exclusive. I know the orts dropped this month, but I don't know if that counts as new news, so I am making the veto decision to not factor that one into my score 😂

@N00BiSH I don't think people "want" him, per se, but he was supposedly leaked, so people are wondering if that's actually true.

@YunoboCo I don't see him, can you be more specific? /gen

Well there went my " the XBox brand is being sunset" theory

I just mentioned this to a friend a few weeks back, saying that I wished it weren't a PS exclusive.... Guess I got my wish! I'll be snagging it for sure!

Well, I've never played a Pokemon game, so they'd all be new to me — but if I do end up playing Pokemon Winds, you had better believe I'll be ignoring any monsters that don't look cool. Who cares if this guy's strong, he's ugly — and why should I ignore this cutie just cuz he's weak? That's my perspective lol
