@BoFiS You're literally zooming into the game screen by double-tapping the Home Button, even when you're at the Home Menu. You adjust the screen to where you want it, press the Home Button once, then you can control the game while it's zoomed in. That's the zoom feature in a nutshell, though I don't see myself using it that much.

@Heavyarms55 I agree with you on the profile icons. I kinda understand if they're only doing Nintendo IPs for the profile icons on the Switch, and if they're waiting for Pokemon Sword and Shield and Fire Emblem: Three Houses for icons for their respective franchises, but I'm surprised they haven't done it for Xenoblade Chronicles, especially since XC2 came out at the end of 2017!

My Switch is updating as I speak (err... type). Sorting your software sounds nifty! Still waiting for themes and folders, though. Let me know, Nintendo!

@MH4 It's OK, no harm done.

@MH4 Hey, that's @ilikeike 's line!

I didn't get into Animal Crossing until New Leaf came out. It's a great game for sure, being the mayor of your own town is fun and I enjoyed decorating my house with Mario stuff when I got them! I do wish it worked with in-game time rather than real time, though (i.e. Stardew Valley). I feel bad when I talk to my animal pals and they tell me "where the heck have you been? It's been so long!"

Take care, Reggie. We'll miss you!!!

Well yesterday I played Xenoblade Chronicles 2, except I'm stuck right now. I hope I can get unstuck next time I play it. It's not this weekend, so I'm cheating a bit, but I finally beat Smash Ultimate's Classic Mode with every character around a week ago (not in one whole sitting, just to clarify).

"A Nintendo Switch rival?" Hahahahahahaha.......no.

Super Mario Land 2, Wario Land: SML3, and Donkey Kong 94 get my picks for my favorite OG Game Boy games. I have fond memories of SML2 and DK94 as a kid, as well. I like Link's Awakening too

Huh, looks like Nintendo spilled the beans after they barely mentioned the 3.0.0 update on the last Direct!

Anyway, pretty cool that it's making a comeback. Like many people here, my ideal solution is to have it like Brawl's stage builder and have the touch screen controls optional. Given that the Switch can be either docked or in handheld mode, I am sure that it will be like Brawl's. We won't know for sure until Nintendo talks about it, obviously, but that's my prediction.

Eh whatever, I already have what I need anyway. XD

**sees the article about the Switch and 3DS game sale** Oh, sweet!

"Nintendo of Europe..." Ugh, COME ON! -_-

Always cool to see how our favorite games looked during their development phase. I loved Super Mario 64 as a child and though it shows some signs of aging, I still love it today!

To quote Officer Barbrady: "Move along, people! Nothing to see here!"

Really though, I only used it like 1 or 2 times. And that's solely to see my Splatoon 2 stats. Had to get rid of it on my phone because I rarely used the app and so I can save space. Not a very good app, honestly... though I never tried its voice chat.

It's a cool bonus, I guess, but it honestly doesn't excite me too much - it doesn't seem that much better than just playing SMO and BotW on a TV or in handheld mode to me. Plus from what I've seen, the way the VR goggles are held looks...uncomfortable. I'd hate to be all negative, but those are just my two cents.

@NotTelevision Yeah, it doesn't seem like Konami's NES games would be coming. I don't even think any Mega Man games would be available either, since Legacy Collection is a thing on Switch.

That would be a nice surprise if they did announce SNES games for Switch Online, not gonna lie. It may not necessarily take the world by storm, but it would certainly make the service a bit better. Wouldn't it be nice if they included SNES games alongside NES when Switch Online came out, though?

Not a bad selection of games this month, but it seems like they're slowly running out of NES games to throw into NSO. If I worked at Nintendo, I would've at least put in SNES, Game Boy, and GBA games to beef up NSO's retro game catalog. From my understanding, they shouldn't be too hard to emulate, especially when you take Virtual Console into consideration.

Can't wait for The Real Housewives of New County & Knuckles!

Out of all the choices in the poll, Blaster Master Zero 2 is the only one I got and I loved it. Just beat it yesterday too!

Looks legitimate. I'd love to see Joker in action soon.

Hey Sega, Sonic 3 & Knuckles will be on the Genesis Mini, right?

I thought they were done with the Mario & Sonic Olympic games. Hopefully this one's good

Awesome game IMO - it's just as good as the first one! I highly recommend both BMZ1 and 2. Inti Creates really knows how to make retro-styled games

Looks amazing. Awesome job, Matt!

As good as Super Mario Party is, I agree that it could use some more boards. There's only 4 of them and I wish they were a tad more imaginative. Boards and minigames from past Mario Parties would be great!

Definitely getting Blaster Master Zero 2! Might get Final Fantasy VII sometime too

Not interested in the Stadia at all - I have plenty of consoles and my gaming laptop to keep me busy and I don't like the idea of streaming games. Plus, Google's really trying to cash in on every market imaginable, aren't they?

@jobvd You have to have Switch Online to play them, though.

Anyway, I would LOVE to play Celeste one of these days! I wanna try out Monster Boy, as well. Out of all the games being shown, Sonic Mania is my favorite, but NSMBU and Mega Man 11 are solid games too. DKC:TF is fantastic, as well.

This kid wants a challenge, that's why he's holding the controller upside-down.

Gonna be playing Super Mario 3D World with my dad today. Maybe play some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online matches, too. Happy Mario Day, everybody!

Might get NSMBUD for that price. Sure wish it was physical but at least I'll get some coins

I'll just focus on my backlog instead

To quote Doc Brown, "Great Scott!"

"Will you be celebrating Mario Day?" Heck yeah, just look at my username

But yeah... these discounts are for games I own or don't really need. My Nintendo needs a serious makeover, give us some physical rewards!

@The_Pixel_King @MysticGengar Yes, I would love 3D World on Switch as well. Preferably a sequel but a port will do!

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Nintendo Switch! I still remember getting mine at Best Buy while it was finally in stock (along with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe), and later on I played some fantastic games like Super Mario Odyssey and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Love how it's a home console/handheld hybrid, as well. Here's to more years of awesome Switch games!!!

Been playing more of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Just beat a couple of rare monsters!!! Once I beat it I might get the Torna expansion one of these days.

I'd love to have it, but I have a feeling it will cost a fortune and a half.

Interesting to see, looks like they're having a good time working there!

I would love a world map creator, too! I think it'd be sweet if they put in multiple playable characters like Luigi, Peach, Toad, Toadette, Rosalina, etc., as well as extra music tracks for each level players make (example being you can pick the Mario Circuit theme from Super Mario Kart for one of your levels). More power-ups would be cool too.

@HexagonSun Honestly, I agree with you. I really hope it doesn't hurt Nintendo too badly, especially since it's likely that Microsoft will still make consoles... I would imagine Microsoft would have to pay Nintendo royalty fees for having Xbox games streaming on Switch.

Wow, NoA really wants my platinum coins to expire...

Good thing I have zero interest in Pokemon Go

Assuming it works well on Switch, this would be pretty cool if it turns out to be true. I don't have an Xbox One (I'm a Nintendo and PC/Steam guy) and I don't see myself buying it for like one or two exclusive games I'd be willing to play. Plus Ori and Cuphead are on Steam and I have them there.

Sayonara, Reggie. Thanks for your efforts!

For those of you living in the US, the DLC costs $5.99. Not too bad for a few stages and a bunch of bonus objectives.

I'll give it a shot at some point. Nice to have if you have NSO

Very excited for this! Though like many others, I am wondering if it requires Switch Online to play other people's levels online. Sharing levels via local wireless would be nice too. Love the 3D World style too, I'm surprised they didn't announce a Switch port for that game.

Aw, boo-hoo, Activision didn't get their "full potential" so they gave their employees the boot. This is facepalm-worthy!

All right, Big N... let's see what you got!

I'll just stick with the DS version. Considering the 3DS is backwards compatible with DS games and it came out very late in its lifespan, not to mention it costs full price, there's no need to get the 3DS version. At least with Superstar Saga, it makes sense because there was no way to play GBA games on the 3DS (the ambassador program, sure, but Superstar Saga wasn't part of it).
