Sounds cool to me. Like those ultra beast worm holes in sun and moon. However, announcing dlc with the game is odd — is it not a full game they are selling?
Call me a loser, but I have been excited for this game on Switch 2. It seems like the definitive way to play for me: even if performance isn't perfect.
It'll be like a Switch 2 without Nintendo games. Who will want it? The criminals already have a Steam deck. I suppose the Playstation posse will be happy though - definitely good to give Nintendo some competition too.
I've got 4GB internet which tends to clock around 1-5-2GB (waste of money) but the games take much longer to download than something comparable on my pc!
Some of the responses from these depraved companies are beyond laughable: like the claim that they protect players from the dangers of private servers by not making them available.
I don't hold out hope on the EU to do the right thing, though. At best they will spend 8 years debating a new body of legislation which is overly complex and obsolete soon after being implemented: if it ever is.
@Truegamer79 I took the dive and it's amazing! Been umming and aahhing about the game on PC for a while, but the switch version sold me. It's a lot better than I expected. I hope the same goes for you too, enjoy
It's pretty obvious there's more DK stuff coming once Bananza is out because DK and Pauline only have two costumes a pop. Where's the rest of the DK crew too? In the DLC my friend, in the DLC.
In hindsight, the DK reskin reveal in the initial MK World trailer was a harbinger of things to come. So I'm wondering if Diddy might get his own game too? But more likely it was to keep things consistent in the DK universe.
Phantasy Star Online would be my dream! I still play the physical version on GC somtimes, it's such a great game. All that's missing is the community of old.
What's wrong with catching something then flying on it? Plenty of games allow you to do this, so I have to wonder what is it specifically that Nintendo is upset about? Seems very odd to me.
@Zeldinion Well that's your opinion, and it's valid but neither true nor false. And like I said to somebody else: it's fair if you want to see that in gaming news, but judging by the failure/restructuring of outlets pushing political opinions I don't think your view is in the majority.
For its part, Nintendo Life is pretty impartial but they do have that weird Bluesky / anti-Twitter thing going on but it's low-key enough to go by unnoticed.
@DiggleDog I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. But those are not cases of a games news outlets inserting politics into gaming news - that was the news itself and not a partisan opinion but a report of fact.
I'm instead referring to the practice of outlets who push specific political views through their reporting: often via negative press. It's fair if someone wants to read that, but judging by the ongoing failure of such establishments I think it's unpopular. I personally don't want to see it, nor do I want a novice without qualification in political science or political studies to push their opinions on me.
It's sad people got fired. But if an outlet doesn't write pieces which belie the fact the author hasn't actually watched/played the thing in question, or insert politics into pieces about games then I think they'd keep more of their readership and thus make more money.
Although, what with YouTube and such there's a lot of competition abound - that was one thing that got me into Nintendo Life. But the impartial articles and (mostly) lack of leak reports keeps me here.
They could easily release GTA on switch 2 by reducing lighting etc. Although not sure how good it will look. But you can get 5 running on most PCs by messing with the files and turning it into an N64 game
Guys, girls and everyone else. If you can't afford this stuff you need to record all your spending in a spreadsheet and cut out any spending on wants until you can afford it. If you can only afford needs before expending your paycheck, then I suggest getting educated in a well paid profession that there's demand for. And it's never too late, I know people in their 50s who trained to become teachers. Only you can change things. These consoles are really not that expensive at the end of the day if you do this (especially the spending monitor).

Re: Atari Acquires IP Rights To Five Ubisoft Games, Including 2011's 'Child Of Eden'
Atari have been going from strength to strength lately, this is definitely good news because Ubisoft has really fallen into the gutter.
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Champions Leaks Resurface Ahead Of 2026 Launch
The more I learn about this game the more I become interested in buying it. Hopefully, it can learn some lessons from smogon formats 👀

@MathByThePixel Master quest edition is the best!
Re: Review: Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV - A Fantastic Addition To An All-Time Party Game
Got to admit, the 'upgrade' just seems like a way to upsell the other products - like the camera, extra joycons etc - so I'll be steering clear.
On its own, Jamboree is a great Mario Party though!
Re: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Trailer Finally Gives Dragonite The Love He Deserves
I can't believe they did this to my boy Dragonite: he looks ridiculous!
Re: Gallery: Donkey Kong Bananza Players Show Off 'DK Artist' Masterpieces
The first one I saw was a Donkey Kong nailed to the cross. I'm just surprised there hasn't been more you know what's already.
Re: Crash Bandicoot Co-Creator Believes The Remakes "Botched" The Jump Mechanics
I stopped playing the remakes because the jumping felt off, now I know why. It's a shame because I love the originals.
Re: Sakurai Gives An Update On 'Kirby Air Riders' And Pays Tribute To Iwata
I find it odd there's another racing game from Nintendo coming out in the Switch 2 launch cycle. Anybody care to enlighten me on the demand for this?

Re: Look, Maybe We Should Stop Asking For A Sonic Adventure Remaster
Why would Sega remaster a good 3d sonic game when they could make a new one that's bad instead?
Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed
Imagine being such a salty crybaby that you go and make a metacritic account just so you can write a little rant online to make yourself feel better.
Re: EA Worker Pay Continues To Dwindle As CEO Picks Up $5 Million Bonus, Thus Creating Amusingly Tall Financial Graph
What a bunch of cheap skates, no wonder their games run like they were programmed by juniors.

Re: Drag X Drive Switch 2 eShop Price Revealed
You know this would be the new Rocket League if they stuck it for free on Nintendo Online
Re: Where Are Mario Kart World's Non-Mario Racers? Producer Kosuke Yabuki Has The Answer
It's pretty obvious there's more DK stuff coming once Bananza is out because DK and Pauline only have two costumes a pop. Where's the rest of the DK crew too? In the DLC my friend, in the DLC.

Re: Hershey Teams Up With Pokémon For New Collectable Chocolates
I know the Americans call it chocolate, but is it really? It's a bit like their idea of football - it's anything but foot to ball.
Re: Joe & Mac Retro Collection Kickstarter Reviving Three Prehistoric SNES Games
Used to love playing this with my granny as a kid. Definitely gonna have to drop. Shame it's a Kickstarter though....
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Version 4.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Really excited for this one because of how smooth and fluid the footage looks. It was my favourite Pokemon game, except for the performance.
Re: Poll: With One Week To Go, What Are Your Switch 2 Launch-Day Plans?
I'll be working at home so I can wait for the delivery, but I'm prepared to go out and try to buy one physically if they take too long.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Secures Switch & Switch 2 Release Date
Yes! The only thing better than a new Jurassic Park game is a new Pokémon game!
Re: The Next Pokémon Presents Is Coming In July
I'm still holding out hope for an announcement of another switch 2 pokemon game, perhaps S/V with a new DLC or a Black and White remake.
Re: Nintendo Is Taking Even More Steps To Prevent Switch 2 Scalping In Japan
I wonder how many drop the price bores will be crawling to the scalpers on launch?

Re: Limited Run's Switch 2 Numbered Releases Will Reportedly Include The "Full Game On The Cartridge"
@PikaPhantom Leaks suck. Just wait till something is announced. One of the good things about Nintendo Life is that they rarely report on such things.

Re: Nintendo Expects To Sell 15 Million Switch 2 Consoles This Financial Year

Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Might Already Be Teasing More Switch 2 Games
@Burning_Spear Wouldn't mind a new 3d Rayman platformer. That was Ubisoft I think right? Really loved it on N64!
