@ShadLink glitchy mess, it was something of great beauty. The very fact you glossed over the fact it started everything doesn’t and won’t ever sit well with me.
I want Nintendo to do well. I will inevitably get a switch2 at some point, most likely if they do a lite version. As at this size, it is not a handheld it’s more of a tablet which I hate.
Also I do not support and will not support GKC or digital only products, I’m just old fashioned and see these things as a route to streaming games.
Nintendo of late has been loosing their magic for me, but I want them to do well. Switch 1 had some incredible games and I know they still have it in them.
If I had a wish, it was we had a tiny handheld again and a home console, I don’t “love” the hybrid only path. But I understand why.
I’ve tried playing this game twice and frick are the characters annoying. One of them is talking about unleashing the power in his eye and the other is prancing about well about to take a shot.
Yeah, echoing above, I actually find games here that I may have missed! Even physical copies I have managed to pickup and collect thanks to you @nintendolife
It’ll likely sell more with time and games, I’d be surprised if it didn’t.
Big Nintendo fan here, but the switch2 wasn’t really aimed at me as I love portable handhelds and high powered consoles. The switch2 is neither for me unfortunately, it’s too big for a portable console to fit in your pocket and I tend to play the PC or PlayStation on the TV.
I’ll get one eventually if it picks up with some amazing must have games down the line (sure it will). Praying for a switch 2 lite 😅
@Uncle_Franklin same thought, rolled my eyes and I enjoy these kind of games. Didn’t they just take people to court for copying their games, then they’re copying other games ..
I wish this was a remake instead, gold and silver in that style would be cool.
But DLC (paid) is “kinda” ok if work has begun post launch but to announce before the game is even out is to me, obnoxious. Pokemon company is a multi million/billion dollar company and in reality their DLC could well be free.
@BrokenCiv that was my takeaway from the last direct. Kept hearing paid DLC available …. I was thinking, wait these games aren’t out yet 🤔 so why is it not included on cart ?
@Porky imagine what they could do, physical collections. ROMs on cart. Each cart containing 50 games. (I know they could do them all, but I’d take that.)

Enjoy my friend
Re: Book Review: Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective - Stunning Art, Though Lacking Context
@Novuscourvous inconvenience? Haha it’s a time to reflect on life and enjoy yourself my friend.
Re: Best Pokémon Games Of All Time
#1 Red and Blue
#2 Gold and Silver
#3 Ruby and Sapphire
Everything else after that, nowhere even close.
Re: Best Pokémon Games Of All Time
@ShadLink worse Pokémon list I’ve ever seen. 🥲
Re: Book Review: Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective - Stunning Art, Though Lacking Context
@Novuscourvous definitely not weird, very common.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Patent Supposedly Points To Return Of DS Games
Unfortunately, DS games look like ar*e now. (In my opinion)

@ElRoberico you have / had something way better, you had the Nintendo store in NY.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Increases Switch 2 Production To 25 Million Units For Year 1
@sd7232 not far off 😅
Not a handheld for me. 3DS was a fantastic size, switch lite was probably as large as I’m willing to go for a “Handheld device”

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
@ArcticEcho and Red and Blue were the best of all time. Closely followed by Silver and Gold
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
@Navi first time ever, I’m not.
Re: Poll: Is It About Time Game Freak Added Voice Acting To Pokémon?
Yes it requires voice acting. But that would require some effort, which the games sell like hot cakes for minimal effort.
Re: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Gets Another Switch 2 Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
@JohnnyMind 🙉 yeah I really want to get around to playing the first one too! It’s still in its cellophane unopened staring at me.
Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Trailer Dives Into How You Can Change Key Movie Scenes
Not sure about the countdown clock, only thing killing my hype.
I want to get behind it, but that clock gets me every-time.
Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Is Getting Its Very Own Switch 2 Fighter Next Year
I love Avatar, this is not the one for me, hope others enjoy it. I don’t like the cheap animation movement.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Fatal Fury Special (SNES)
Japanese one looks wild I love it
Re: Japanese Charts: Sucker Punch Stops Mario Galaxy Soaring Too High
@Serpenterror that’s really F’in scummy thing to do.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World
@rockodoodle most likely as it doesn’t come boxed within a console bundle 😅
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
I got them on pre order for £45 off amazon.
Main reason, I have not played Mario Galaxy 2 !
Plus, cool for my switch collection (physical).
Re: Everybody's Golf Hot Shots Has Been Updated For Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I’ve tried playing this game twice and frick are the characters annoying. One of them is talking about unleashing the power in his eye and the other is prancing about well about to take a shot.
I will attempt to play it again.
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Physical Confirmed For December, Includes Extra Goodies
@Wewewi massive own goal. So much effort to recreate this, then go gold with a physical and say 60FPS coming soon.
Who thought that was a good idea?
F.
Re: Community: Played A Great Switch Game We Missed? Send Us Your Hot Tips
Yeah, echoing above, I actually find games here that I may have missed! Even physical copies I have managed to pickup and collect thanks to you @nintendolife

Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 Available For Purchase At The My Nintendo Store (US)
In the UK it’s mostly available everywhere and there’s maybe too much stock 😅
I was stood next to a bin of them yesterday in Argos and was quite taken back! I genuinely didn’t know they were struggling to sell these!
Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Has Been Delayed On All Consoles
Only thing that puts me off about what I’ve seen is the timer? Why does it need a countdown timer ..
Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
Death to Game Key cards !
Re: Capcom Teases Brand New amiibo For Monster Hunter Stories 3, Here's A Look
@topsekret oh no way! Is it a key card game?! You’re kidding ..
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Reveals New Distribution
@PinderSchloss I would love that. Let’s go game did Kanto dirty.
Re: A New Pokémon Pop-Up Store Is Coming To London Next Year
@thenikdavies that would give me a reason to visit that hell hole of a city.
Re: UK Charts: Well, Look Who Cruised Back Into First Place
Mario Kart is an insanely popular series of games, for good reason.
However, I’d love to know if sales would be as strong and I can’t help but feel they’re so high because it’s being sold as a bundle.

@Uncle_Franklin same thought, rolled my eyes and I enjoy these kind of games. Didn’t they just take people to court for copying their games, then they’re copying other games ..
I wish this was a remake instead, gold and silver in that style would be cool.
Re: Opinion: Resident Evil Requiem Represents A Turning Point For Switch 2
Game Key-Card?
Good news that it’s getting same release frame as everyone else though, as for future 3rd party games, let’s see.

Re: SNK Announces ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 9 And Vol. 10 For Switch
@Vyacheslav333 thank you, I’ll research it then in that case!
Re: SNK Announces ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 9 And Vol. 10 For Switch
@Vyacheslav333 I embarrassingly have not played the Neo-geo collection, would you recommend it?
I’d love physical collections of the old stuff on carts, gladly pay for that!
Thank you for replying!
Re: New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Distribution Now Available
@Narrator1 I hear you.
But DLC (paid) is “kinda” ok if work has begun post launch but to announce before the game is even out is to me, obnoxious. Pokemon company is a multi million/billion dollar company and in reality their DLC could well be free.
Re: New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Distribution Now Available
@BrokenCiv that was my takeaway from the last direct. Kept hearing paid DLC available ….
I was thinking, wait these games aren’t out yet 🤔 so why is it not included on cart ?
Re: SNK Announces ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 9 And Vol. 10 For Switch
I wish Nintendo would do this instead of online subscription crap.
Re: SNK Announces ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 9 And Vol. 10 For Switch
@Serpenterror lazy question, as I could research it, but are volumes 1-8 on the switch?
Re: Retro-Styled Isometric Puzzler 'Lumo 2' Dimension-Shifts Its Way Onto Switch This October

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two More Titles
@ShadLink hence - my comment. “I know they can do them all, but I’d take that”.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two More Titles
@Porky imagine what they could do, physical collections. ROMs on cart. Each cart containing 50 games. (I know they could do them all, but I’d take that.)
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two More Titles
@Ryu_Niiyama Ryu-san, this makes me happy. I am a physical collector of the consoles and games of the GBA era.
Please explore more.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
@Yoshi3 well said about Zelda. The new games are fantastic in their own right. Yet it lost a lot of its DNA, I feel exactly the same way.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
@OldManHermit I agree with you!
Re: Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar Achieves 500,000 Sales In less Than A Month
@Ryu_Niiyama Buy, Buy, Buy !
Way better than I thought.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
Probably just me, but I prefer 2D based Metroid games.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer

All Physical and on cart, let’s go ! 🤩
