I just want GTA6 to come out so it can stop getting in the way of games that I actually care about and forces them to get delayed. Hope it delivers for those that love it, though.
@LastFootnote Honestly. And the very idea of Nintendo making a new game from one of their franchises using traditional pixel graphics? Haha! That I gotta see.
If a game like this selling this well is anything to go by, it basically means that cozy games from Nintendo will have a chance to do big numbers if they line their cards correctly.
This honestly makes the complaints about this game getting a Direct even more ridiculous.
As someone who actually enjoys the VII Remakes so far and can't wait for Revelation...yeah, no. Let's not do this again. If they're gonna remake another game in the series, have it just be one game for XI and VIII or in HD-2D for VI.
The fact that this game isn't even a month old yet and was fixed so quickly makes me appreciate Team Asano even more now. Octopath 0 also had some audio problems and it wasn't long before they patched it up. Asano clearly gives a damn about his games and I fully respect that.
I'm gonna miss that special sensation of unwrapping games on certain occasions, looking at the box art to read the text, and checking the screenshots on the back of it. Oh well, your loss, Sony.
It's a great system. All I wanted was a stronger Switch, and that's exactly what I got. Can't wait to see what Nintendo's gonna do with this thing the further we get.
@Bolt_Strike Careful, now. There will be some (definitely not all) Metroid, Xenoblade, and Fire Emblem fans who won't be ready to handle your cold, hard facts and will absolutely bombard you with childish retorts. All the while forgetting those series's minuscule reach. Kinda why I included those in my list.
@jsty3105 Haha! Wow. You know, that's even more ridiculous when you consider that many other of the Nintendo franchises that I didn't list have been part of Nintendo's history for years or decades. As in, unless you're part of that big dogs list, your Nintendo game doesn't deserve to be played or made on Nintendo's new, fresh console that is currently making numbers.
No Kirby, Kid Icarus, Golden Sun, F-Zero, Earthbound, Punch Out, Wave Race, Star Fox, or 1080° Snowboarding. It's only the big dogs, baby! Which further proves my earlier point.
@JohntheRaptor Yeah. I know they should. Which is why I said that they're inevitably coming. I literally just said that. Don't know why you brought a Steam Deck into this, either.
@N00BiSH @UpsideDownRowlet It's honestly what makes fans' reactions to certain game announcements and coverage insanely predictable. Anything that's not Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Xenoblade, Metroid, or Smash? Into the bin it goes, apparently. They're honestly just as bad as Square Enix fans when it comes to only caring about Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Neir, and Dragon Quest. Nothing else.
Seriously, the fact that they've been so damn consistent with their releases lately deserves applause. I remember back during the Wii U days when we were going through so many game droughts that it would make the Atacama Desert blush. The heavy hitters WILL come. Be patient.
So, so happy to see Air Riders slowly chugging along. You'd think with all the cartoonish backlash, it wouldn't have made it on here. Though I guess that's what I get for listening to the insane vocal minority. Gotta stop doing that.
...Uh, wow, ok, sure. Let's go ahead and drop this out of nowhere, Nintendo. Yeesh, this was unexpected. A little lame that it's 64 AGAIN, which means I'll most likely get this later down the line or something. Got way too many games to get in June anyway. Looks cool, though.

Re: "No Offense To Zelda" - Activision Exec Says Call Of Duty: MW4 And GTA 6 Are The Two Biggest Games Of The Year
Says you. Also, don't talk like you know what games I want to play or am looking forward to. You don't know me; I hate it when people do that.
Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Expansion Pass Announced, Wave 1 Launches Today
Looking forward to the playable sublords.
Re: "Nintendo Didn't Swerve" - Product Growth Expert Comments On Zelda Vs. GTA 6
I just want GTA6 to come out so it can stop getting in the way of games that I actually care about and forces them to get delayed. Hope it delivers for those that love it, though.
Re: UK Charts: Fire Emblem Lights Up The Podium, But It Can't Claw Past Sony's Latest
Hope Fire Emblem keeps the momentum going. Game is great.
Re: Japanese Charts: Rhythm Heaven Groove Surpasses 1 Million Boxed Units Sold
Hopefully, with those numbers from Groove, they can start making more Rhythm Heaven games in the future.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave (Switch 2) - Dense, Delightful Strategy Overstuffed With Heroes
Can't wait to dive into this one tomorrow. Quite the year of JRPGs.
Re: Nintendo Direct September 2026 - Every Game, Announcement And Trailer
I got some news on 2D Metroid, an open-world Kirby, finally a new date for Layton, and a date for Danganronpa 2x2. Yeah, I'm happy. Very happy.
Re: 'Kirby And The World Beyond' Goes Big On Switch 2 Next Spring
Would be intriguing to see Hal Laboratory's take on an open-world Kirby. Thank god it wasn't Nintendo, though. Otherwise I would've been terrified.
Re: Metroid Ravenous Announced For Switch 2, Release Date Confirmed
Feels nice to finally get another 2D Metroid. Always preferred them.
Re: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Launches On Switch 2 On 5th November 2026
Never did finish the original back then. Guess it's time to change that.
Re: Rumour: Leaker Claims A Brand New Super Smash Bros. Game Is In The Works
@LastFootnote Honestly. And the very idea of Nintendo making a new game from one of their franchises using traditional pixel graphics? Haha! That I gotta see.
Re: Nintendo Announces Two Directs For Next Week, 8th & 9th September 2026
Lots of dates that I still need for the games I'm looking forward to, so I hope these are good.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Has Been Updated To Version 4.0.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Supporting quality. Love to see it.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Sales Surpass Five Million Units Globally In "Just Over Four Months"
The power of cozy. Keep it coming.
Re: Octopath Traveler Dev Not Ready To Announce A Third Major Entry Yet, But Is Aware Of High Expectations
Kinda expected. It was only a matter of when not if. Either way, day 0.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Has Already Sold Over 8 Million Units
If a game like this selling this well is anything to go by, it basically means that cozy games from Nintendo will have a chance to do big numbers if they line their cards correctly.
This honestly makes the complaints about this game getting a Direct even more ridiculous.
Re: Here Are The Best-Selling Switch 1 & 2 Games As Of June 2026
So nice to see Air Riders on the charts yet again!
Re: Talking Point: So, What Did You Think Of The Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Nintendo Direct?
It was great as expected.
Re: Nintendo Direct For Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Announced
Good! Quite a lot we still don't know about this one, so I'm looking forward to it.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For August & September 2026
Just Fortune's Weave in September for me. I'm honestly way more interested in October because there are tons of games I'm looking forward to there.
Re: Final Fantasy Devs Think Other Remakes Would Probably Go Beyond A Trilogy
As someone who actually enjoys the VII Remakes so far and can't wait for Revelation...yeah, no. Let's not do this again. If they're gonna remake another game in the series, have it just be one game for XI and VIII or in HD-2D for VI.
Re: Adventures Of Elliot Patch Lets You Remove The Incessant Voice Support
The fact that this game isn't even a month old yet and was fixed so quickly makes me appreciate Team Asano even more now. Octopath 0 also had some audio problems and it wasn't long before they patched it up. Asano clearly gives a damn about his games and I fully respect that.
Re: Japanese Charts: Holy Moly, Look At Those Rhythm Heaven Groove Sales
Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about! Go Groove!
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Rhythm Heaven Groove?
9/10.
Words alone can't express how happy I am to finally have a new entry in this series after so long.
Re: Nintendo Shares Statement After Being Voted Famitsu's Number One Developer
As they should. Nintendo will always be my number one video game company.
Re: Sony Ditches Physical Media - Suddenly Game-Key Cards Don't Look So Bad
I'm gonna miss that special sensation of unwrapping games on certain occasions, looking at the box art to read the text, and checking the screenshots on the back of it. Oh well, your loss, Sony.
Re: Review: Rhythm Heaven Groove (Switch) - A Low-Key Swansong And Perfect Mic-Drop For Switch 1
Can't wait for tomorrow. I've been waiting so long for this one.
Re: Poll: What's Your Switch 2 Game Of The Year So Far?
Pokopia as of now, but that will absolutely change once we get into Fall.
Re: PSA: Rhythm Heaven Groove "Starter Demo" Now Available On Switch
Ooh boy. Only managed to get two gold medals out of all them. It's like we never left!
Re: Review: The Adventures Of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Switch 2) - An Emotional Journey Through Space And Time
Yet another hit from Team Asano. Can't wait to play tomorrow, and also can't wait for FF Resonance.
Re: Latest Nintendo Direct Reportedly The Most-Watched Of The Summer Showcases
Good. The Direct rocked. There are sooooo many games that I want to buy because of it.
Re: Reaction: A Direct That Picked Up Pace For A Breathtaking Finish
Pretty great for me. So many games to look forward to in the upcoming months.

I know what my big September game is gonna be!

Looks great! Any HD-2D game is an instant buy from me!
Re: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake Is Real, And It's Launching This Year
Nice! Can't wait for it. Really could've used some gameplay, though.
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Tomorrow, 9th June 2026
Hoping for more info on Fortune's Weave.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Revelation Officially Unveiled For Switch 2, Out Spring 2027
Can't wait. Hopefully, we won't wait too long when we get to Spring.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch 2: Year One - Looking Back, How Would You Rate It So Far?
It's a great system. All I wanted was a stronger Switch, and that's exactly what I got. Can't wait to see what Nintendo's gonna do with this thing the further we get.
Re: Video: 11 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In June 2026
Adventures of Elliot for me.
Re: Dragon Quest XII Gets A New Title Following Complete Development Reset
I liked what I saw and can't wait for it. Really enjoyed my time with the last game.
Re: Review: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre
Fine by me. Still getting it.
Re: "That's Amazing!" - Final Fantasy Creator Approves Of FF6 Video Created By AI
Putting aside how disgustingly obvious it is that this was created by AI, I will admit that I would kill for a FF6 remake with an art style like this.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Yoshi And The Mysterious Book For Switch 2?
Yeah, I will. Been eyeing this for a while now.

Re: So, Will You Be Getting Star Fox For Switch 2?
Later. Adventures of Elliot and Rhythm Heaven Groove come first. Especially considering that this game is sandwiched between those two.
