I am honestly only really interested in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Like many people, I already have Super Mario Galaxy 1 from a separate bundle. I can't really justify that price at this point.
I can't think of too many games that have this consistent of content updates that I actually play. I am not sure when I would get around to experiencing the new update since I am playing other things but updates like these are what pushed Stardew Valley into being an evergreen type of game.
The main character honestly looks a little weird to me. I don't think I would be able to get over the overall design. I would rather just play Sonic Mania for the millionth time.
I recently purchased No Man's Sky on Steam Deck OLED and I will be mainly playing that this weekend. I will also be playing some Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2. As always, happy gaming everyone!
This one was pretty difficult for me. For me, each box art had its own vibe, and I really couldn't make up my decision. I chose the North American variant though.
I had previously added to this game to my wish list on Steam, but now I'm kind of changing my mind. The game still looks good, but I'm not sure if it's quite up my alley.
I am honestly not certain if I'll be playing very many games this weekend. I haven't really been on a gaming kick lately. If anything, I might play Fire Emblem: Three Houses. As always, happy gaming everyone!
For me, this one is an easy choice. The Japanese variant is a little bit too basic for my eyes. That being said, the North American/European variant isn't really much better except for the colors. Neither one of them really showcase what the games are about. First one gets my vote.
I recently have been playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses for the first time and I'm having a blast. I purchased the game on Black Friday at Walmart years ago and I still had the game in its plastic wrap. It took me long enough to get around to playing the game but I'm glad I am! Happy gaming everyone for however much of your weekend is left!
My Nintendo Switch 2 hardly leaves its dock so this is definitely a non-issue for me. I don't usually play my game systems outside in the first place. A gentle reminder is always a good thing though for those that need it.
I haven't even heard of a good chunk of the games in this article. I am really glad so many games are getting Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade patches so quickly though.
Like many other people have said, I will definitely be playing Donkey Kong Bonanza. This game seems to get better as you deeper in the game. Happy gaming everyone!
Donkey Kong Bonanza has been a blast for me. I still haven't fought the final boss yet due to time constraints, but honestly that is exactly how I like it. I get to enjoy this game for longer stretches of time. And I'll probably never stop putting out comparisons between Donkey Kong Bonanza and Super Mario Odyssey. That being said, they are both very different beasts in core gameplay.
I honestly wasn't super impressed, though they did showcase some solid titles. I was just expecting a little bit more pizazz in comparison to what we got.
My brother was just telling me about this upgrade earlier today. In my opinion, the Nintendo Switch version needed it pretty badly. I still think I will probably end up playing this game on my Steam Deck OLED instead though.
I honestly don't have expectations but I am expecting some new titles and remasters/remakes of older titles. I am more interested in newer content versus remakes. As long as I get a few of those, I will be happy. Maybe even some more Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades for current games as well would be nice.
This is a pretty sizable update to be honest. I am pretty pleased with the fixes and changes overall. I am sure there is more to come in the future as well.
I am still planning on getting one myself. I just didn't have the money at the time. That being said, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller I have is still going strong for the most part.
Common sense could have avoided this entire scenario. I honestly was disappointed myself that the cartridge wasn't yellow, but I wouldn't have gone this far. I am glad he was able to get the cartridge out.
Looks pretty cool! My girlfriend could potentially want this but it is pretty light on the piece count. I suppose that can't be helped considering what it is trying to emulate.
I have been playing Donkey Kong Bonanza on Nintendo Switch 2 and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk on Steam Deck OLED. Both of which are very different, but fun experiences. Happy gaming for whatever is left of your weekend everyone!
The Luigi one is probably my favorite. It isn't the most clean sculpture out of all of the available ones, but the shape of Luigi's head is a difficult to sculpt shape in the first place so I consider it pretty impressive.
I have been waiting for them to add new craftable items with copper for a very long time. I barely make use of it at this point. I know my kids will be happy with this update for sure.
I wasn't excited at all for Death Stranding 1, but after what I have heard about the sequel, I am genuinely interested now. I will probably skip the first one though since I watched my brother play it and I wasn't very interested. I hear the second entry is most much interesting.
Beating the Xbox Series wasn't exactly a hard record to break! I very curious what the overall sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 will be in a year from now.
For me personally, the North American variant is the easy choice. I do really like the Japanese variant as well, but the European is just out of the question for me.
I was always a pretty big fan of Neverwinter Nights but when I was younger I didn't have either the money or the PC to play the second game. I will almost certainly be playing this. I just don't know if I will be playing it on Nintendo Switch 2 or Steam Deck OLED at this point.
I honestly don't even need a demo, so I won't be searching for one. I already know I will love this game. It is probably my most anticipated game this year and I have a hard time believing anything else can top it.
That file size is pretty incredible to be honest. I know this game will be packed with content so I expected a higher file size amount. I have plenty of space to spare regardless since I only keep games I am currently playing downloaded. I don't even have an SD card in my Nintendo Switch 2 yet.
I will primarily be playing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ today myself. I have been loving it, and it has been a great experience on my Steam Deck OLED. Happy gaming everyone as always!
I have nothing against the PS5, but mine has been completely powered off for over a month. Between my Steam Deck OLED and my Nintendo Switch 2, I can't see much of a reason to play it when my lifestyle requires mobility. That being said, I still love my PS5, it just doesn't serve much of a purpose at the moment.
I am not surprised by this news at all. I am just glad I was able to secure one myself. I would have been a little disappointed waiting on the side for the chance to get one while everyone else was having fun.
I certainly haven't forgotten about Donkey Kong Bonanza! It is my most hyped title at this point since I (like many others) have been waiting for a new 3D Donkey Kong game for a long time. I can't wait to see what cool secrets there are to find, and how many different there are to collect all the collectibles in this game. This will probably be just like Super Mario Odyssey where people are doing challenge runs with specific requirements for the foreseeable future. I will be picking the game up on day 1 if I have the money at the time. Going on holiday recently tore through my finances.
I recently revisited The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom through the Nintendo Switch 2 edition upgrade and I finally completed the game. I stopped playing it a long time ago before finishing it, so it felt great having a good reason to test out a Nintendo Switch 2 edition game.
For this weekend, I will mainly be playing Mario Kart World and AI: The Somnium Files - The Nirvana Initiave. I started that game as well a long time ago and never got around to completing it. I planning on beating it this time around.
I am not sure if I will be getting a survey but my experience with the Nintendo Switch 2 has been nothing but fantastic. It has caused me to go back and beat some of my games I never finished. They run so much better now!
The battery life has been fine for me as well, and how easily the system synced and utilized my old Nintendo Switch 1 controllers is fantastic.
I haven't taken advantage of mouse mode too much yet, but I can see where it will be very useful in the future.
The hardware feels premium as well, which is probably one of the most important things for me to enjoy a new piece of tech.
I will get a real feel on how I feel about the system when Donkey Kong Bonanza comes out. That will be the real test for me personally.
This overview is a pretty fair assessment of what I've experienced so far with Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2. I don't really have any complaints with the experience so far and I am glad to be able to play it on something besides my PlayStation 5.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: The Hobbit (GBA)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (2nd August)
@aaalexander Absolutely! I personally feel that Donkey Kong Bonanza can be enjoyed by people of all ages to some extent!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Weaponlord (SNES)

Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Updated Donkey Kong Bananza's Switch 2 File Size
