If I ever manage to buy the Switch 2, I will have something to play besides Mario Kart World (if I find a bundle by then preferably) and it will no longer be an FPS like Overwatch. But what I really wanted was Genshin or Wuthering Waves.
Blizzard is dead. WoW, for example, is nothing without the 2004 Classic while it was still Heavy Metal, fanservice and war; after that, they filled the game with spoon-fed content and stereotyped characters. Overwatch was good when it started. Nowadays, Marvel Rivals is more worthwhile.
God, finally. Something that doesn't just look like a toy for 3-year-old kids. Now it's on par with Sonic, Link and Animal Crossing. It takes a while to sink in.
I hope that someday it gets an open-world explorable content update and more Tracks like Daisy's Cruise, tracksin the Clouds and inside buildings with the Ninja Hideout, even if the SNES tracks have to be officially made playable to complete the catalog...
It was already known that Pokémon fans only got the worst and now this game just confirms it. Look at this compared to the disaster of Scarlet, Violet, and Z-A.
This game should never have been exclusive to the Switch 2; Mario Kart World is already the exclusive kart racing game. The Switch 1 is still meant for selling niche games.
Even though it's canonical, people can't stand any more Musou spinoffs. If it were a continuation of Tears, which was played only by Zelda in the past in an open world, but made by Koei Tecmo, it would have sold at least 3 million copies already.
First: you get stuck in a city where everything is the same "Let me in" and after 5 hours of watching children's playgrounds with the same Pokémon and jumping off empty rooftops, you quit the game.
My friend once told me that even Reggie was fired and didn't retire because he didn't meet the company's new profit vision. Now I'm starting to agree with him, since Nintendo increasingly wants more profit and not even Bowser has reached that level.
Retirement should just be an honorable way to send the CEO off with dignity.
I hope whoever does the review doesn't hate Sonic, at least. Nothing of: "Mario Kart World is great because it's Nintendo (it's not, it's ok game) and Sonic CrossWorld is bad, because... yes."
I had the opportunity to play MKWorld, because I don't plan on buying a Switch 2 and I was impressed by how it's a LEGO 2K Drive clone, only without the open-world content (and microtransactions, thanks). Mario Kart World doesn't deserve the success that has, even though it's a beautiful game, but it's incredibly boring to explore.
And it would clearly run on the Switch 1; its only FOMO forced it onto the Switch 2.
Aside from Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077 (or MKW or DKB that were from Switch 1), there's no reason to own a Switch 2 right now. All of these indies are perfect for those who already had a Switch 1, and if any are exclusive to the 2, it's because of the developer's stubbornness.
No, keep not releasing games for the best-selling consoles. Then don't complain that no one buys them or knows the characters. It's like Genshin on Xbox, which I never saw anyone play or talk about, and it's been forgotten.
Pokémon Legends was a game about the past and myths, not this. It feels like a Scarlet and Violet spinoff. I want Legends set in the Wild West, the Middle Ages, etc.
I don't care about the OLED screen, but if there were a Chinese MOD that could connect my Switch Lite to a TV at 720p for an affordable price, I'd be extremely happy. I don't want to buy a new Switch V2 or OLED just to have a TV connection now that it's at the end of its lifespan.
It will NEVER surpass the original Switch. Switch 2 is a ridiculously expensive device that is not made to be left in the hands of children, unlike the 2017 Switch which was extremely affordable, even in the V2 version. These people who call themselves "analysts" have to learn to look at numbers.
Considering the lack of content in Free Roam mode, the game is still unfinished. We have to be thankful that there are no bugs that make it impossible to finish the game or play online.
Patrick and SpongeBob's voices were really good... oh, there's no voice. This Sonic seems like he's doing everything he can to not flop and forgetting the basics. They don't want to invest.
I've mentioned this so many times on YouTube and with my friends. It clearly still runs on the Switch 1, but it was forcibly pushed to the Switch 2 and in the end the device with 150 million units sold will only have Mario Kart Live as an "Exclusive".
MKW is clearly built on top of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and would run on the Switch 1 with good optimization.
Blizzard is "smart". They changed all the original costumes, so they could censor some of them to avoid complaints. Well, whatever, I haven't played this since the release of Overwatch Classic.
The quality of this game is incredible, it doesn't even feel like a game that came after the horrible Rune Factory 5. I can't believe it will run on the Switch. I wish the Pokémon Company would listen to the critics and do the same with Pokémon.
The little gameplay I've seen has left me disappointed. It doesn't look as cool as Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed, but rather fast and automated, as if we were running on a treadmill. I know it's a bit late to expect a port of Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed, but I'd rather have.
I think it's hilarious that companies insist on game-as-a-service and one after another close the games or go bankrupt. They just had to make games that are fun and don't focus on ideologies, and they have a great chance of being successful.
How I wanted this and even now, I think it's impossible to get one of these in time. Well, this at least means that there's something more coming and if it's a Port, I want it.
I'm really confused. I deleted my save from Legends Arceus, since it's the only Pokémon I replay on the Switch. I'll probably have to fight another Arceus to get Enamorus Shiny. TPC complicates everything for no reason, plus Mananphy also came from Legends Arceus.

Re: Rumour: Minifigure Scale Pokémon Lego Appears Online In New Leak
Finally LEGO and Nintendo understood that people want everything in the same scale as standard LEGO!

God, finally. Something that doesn't just look like a toy for 3-year-old kids. Now it's on par with Sonic, Link and Animal Crossing. It takes a while to sink in.
Re: Mario Kart World Could Be Getting A Battle Mode Update
I hope that someday it gets an open-world explorable content update and more Tracks like Daisy's Cruise, tracksin the Clouds and inside buildings with the Ninja Hideout, even if the SNES tracks have to be officially made playable to complete the catalog...
...and Skins & Karts! Pauline needs love.
Re: Dispatch Uncensored Physical Switch Release Apparently Not Possible
Maximum level of hypocrisy: Freedom for some, censorship for others.
Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak To Reveal More About 'Beast Of Reincarnation' Later This Month
It was already known that Pokémon fans only got the worst and now this game just confirms it. Look at this compared to the disaster of Scarlet, Violet, and Z-A.
Re: Prince Of Persia Team Behind Cancelled Sands Of Time Remake Shares Final Message
This is wonderful. The project looked horrible and would clearly distort the original game. Better to play the classics.
Re: Censored Dispatch Artwork Spotted On Nintendo's Digital Storefront
The world is getting really boring.

Re: Animated Tomb Raider Series Returns To Netflix For A Second Season Next Month
Extremely depressing. I hope the franchise goes back to how it used to be.
Re: Rumour: New Crash Bandicoot Racing Artwork Has Some Fans Excited
I would prefer to see Crash in Sonic Racing; the way Activision implemented the reward system in Team Racing with the online store was very poor.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A: Walkthrough

Arceus has never bored me like this.
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
Mario Kart World is unfortunately BORING!
Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
For me this had to do with Goodnight Universe where the baby has psychic powers and was announced in the Switch 2 Direct, only the baby is different.

Re: Site News: So, Where's Our Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Review?

Re: UK Charts: Well, Look Who Cruised Back Into First Place

I hated the Netflix series so much that I'm afraid to come into contact with anything from that franchise again.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase August 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
Aside from Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077 (or MKW or DKB that were from Switch 1), there's no reason to own a Switch 2 right now. All of these indies are perfect for those who already had a Switch 1, and if any are exclusive to the 2, it's because of the developer's stubbornness.
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
I hope people with some kind of severe disability and the parents who needed this money "HAVE FUN" with the news.
Re: Switch 2 Has Sold "More Than 6 Million" Units, And Almost As Many Copies Of Mario Kart World
That's what FOMO does. A console without purpose, with an unfinished game. Nintendo fans have achieved the impossible: ruin the gaming industry.
Re: 'The Knightling' Has Gone Gold, But The Switch Version Has Been Axed
No, keep not releasing games for the best-selling consoles. Then don't complain that no one buys them or knows the characters. It's like Genshin on Xbox, which I never saw anyone play or talk about, and it's been forgotten.
Re: Random: Don't Worry Folks, Nintendo Says Mario And Peach Are Just "Good Friends"
Okay, now put them back as a couple again, that's the answer humanity needs.
Re: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Trailer Finally Gives Dragonite The Love He Deserves
Pokémon Legends was a game about the past and myths, not this. It feels like a Scarlet and Violet spinoff. I want Legends set in the Wild West, the Middle Ages, etc.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Team Returns With A New Multiplayer Action RPG
Literally have to buy the Switch 1 version to play on the 2. I hope this generation isn't like the PS5, which didn't justify buying the console.
Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie
Excellent choice, young and with the face of heroes.
Looking forward to Trailers.
Re: Nintendo Has Seemingly Taken Further Steps To Combat 'eSlop' On Switch 2
Goodbye games like Pirates H, Dead or Alive 3 Scarlet, Senran Kagura, etc. Welcome years Wii U flop.
Re: Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack Announced For Switch 2 And Switch
It was exactly what I wanted... on the Switch 1. I'm not considering a Switch 2 right now.
Re: 18 Months And $200,000 Later, Modder Gives Switch Lite OLED And HDMI-Out - And A Switch 2 OLED Mod Is Next
I don't care about the OLED screen, but if there were a Chinese MOD that could connect my Switch Lite to a TV at 720p for an affordable price, I'd be extremely happy. I don't want to buy a new Switch V2 or OLED just to have a TV connection now that it's at the end of its lifespan.
Re: Switch Port Specialist Believes Switch 2 Can Surpass Its Predecessor's Success

Re: Fans Reckon Nintendo Has "Killed" Mario Kart World With Its Latest Update
It was a sensational idea, it will sell Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Switch 1, a lot! 🤣
Re: Random: Mario Kart World Player 'Breaks' The Game, Takes Flight Over Mario Circuit
Considering the lack of content in Free Roam mode, the game is still unfinished. We have to be thankful that there are no bugs that make it impossible to finish the game or play online.
This is how developers work these days.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Officially Reveals Nickelodeon Collaboration

Re: Pokémon Fan Loses "20 Years Worth Of Data" After Performing Switch 2 Transfer
As far as I understand, this is clearly incompetence of Nintendo. It's the famous situation of "we feel a lot, good luck trying to solve alone."
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
Nintendo Switch 1 is the ultimate console for collecting physical games, because the Switch 2 covers are horrible, as well as empty cartridges!
Re: Mario Kart World Was Originally In Development For Switch 1
I've mentioned this so many times on YouTube and with my friends. It clearly still runs on the Switch 1, but it was forcibly pushed to the Switch 2 and in the end the device with 150 million units sold will only have Mario Kart Live as an "Exclusive".

Re: Marathon Isn't Currently Planned For Switch 2, Unsurprisingly
It doesn't matter. It's just another Concord that will go bankrupt in months or weeks due to lack of players.
Re: Random: Fantasy Life's Animal Crossing Parody Starring 'Tim Crook' Is A Good Laugh
If the game runs like this on Switch 1, it should be worth it as gameplay on a PS4 or PS5, but in Direct it was far from that performance.
Re: Atelier Yumia's Strong Start Makes It The Fastest-Selling Game In Series History
It's the best Atelier I've ever played, even though it performs poorly on the Switch.
Re: Feature: "I Love All Of Them" - Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma Producer Reveals His Favourite Bachelor & Bachelorette
The quality of this game is incredible, it doesn't even feel like a game that came after the horrible Rune Factory 5. I can't believe it will run on the Switch. I wish the Pokémon Company would listen to the critics and do the same with Pokémon.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Reveals "Most Popular Characters" From Network Test
The little gameplay I've seen has left me disappointed. It doesn't look as cool as Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed, but rather fast and automated, as if we were running on a treadmill. I know it's a bit late to expect a port of Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed, but I'd rather have.
Re: Star Wars: Hunters Servers To Close Later This Year
I think it's hilarious that companies insist on game-as-a-service and one after another close the games or go bankrupt. They just had to make games that are fun and don't focus on ideologies, and they have a great chance of being successful.
Re: Kirby: Planet Robobot Figure Returns As A Good Smile Re-Release
How I wanted this and even now, I think it's impossible to get one of these in time. Well, this at least means that there's something more coming and if it's a Port, I want it.
Re: New Pokémon HOME Distribution Dishes Out Rare Shinies For Completing Select Pokédexes
@RupeeClock I'm not going to create a bunch of Switch accounts just to cheat at Pokemon. I like to be organized.
@link3710 Don't worry about it, it's not that big of a deal to lose a Shiny to me. I just play for fun.
Re: New Pokémon HOME Distribution Dishes Out Rare Shinies For Completing Select Pokédexes
I'm really confused. I deleted my save from Legends Arceus, since it's the only Pokémon I replay on the Switch. I'll probably have to fight another Arceus to get Enamorus Shiny. TPC complicates everything for no reason, plus Mananphy also came from Legends Arceus.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Mario Kart LEGO Sets?
I really want Baby Peach, but I doubt I'll have the money for it. LEGO is very expensive and I prefer to buy physical games.
