@Suketoudara @carlos82 @LikelySatan That was the theory on one of the bigger Nintendo podcasts. That it probably was made to be an extra game for Switch Sports with an upgrade fee, but they decided to just make it a stand alone game.
@jamesRainbowBoy @Hoshiko @cedarhyped For Mario Maker 3, they could also bring in things from Wonder.
My dream would be to allow us to make the 2D levels like in Mario Odyssey. 2D stages that wrap around 3D objects, walls hiding secret areas, sections with reverse gravity, etc.
Reminds me that Snipperclips has an air hockey mini game and you can still snip and clip each other. Playing offense and defense has an added level of tactics. π
I bought the Joy Con 2 Wheels and I like them just as a grip for 2-player horizontal joycons. Just keep tilt controls off. They give very large shoulder buttons and are more comfortable than holding the joy-cons by themselves.
I am happy to pay for games to keep them ad free, but $34 is pretty high for a puzzle game. I might wishlist this and see if the Switch version goes on sale.
@Spider-Kev I did buy DK full price, however I am with you on Linkβs Awakening. I waited a month after it released and found a used copy for about $45 (including taxes and shipping).
@DaGoldenBoo You are probably saying you are wanting grips for each joycon as a pair.
However, I bought the Joy Con 2 Wheels and I like them just as a grip for 2-player horizontal joycons. You can keep tilt controls off, but they give very large shoulder buttons and are more comfortable to hold (much better than just holding the joycons alone horizontally).
The right joy-con stick placement is centered, though. It may be a bit of a reach for a kidβs thumb.
No hate for Seth Rogan, but I would like to see a versatile voice actor hired to voice all the varied expressions we see in DK Bananza. Lean into the goofiness.

Re: Mario Kart World Announces 'Summer Vacation Skill Test' Event
@ImpromptuR Fair point, but it is difficult to theme local things globally .
Animal Crossing New Horizons is one that does switch the seasons based on your geography.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week
@N00BiSH @VGFreak1225 Chibi-Robo is a cute, cozy, 3D metroidvania, sandbox game. π
Re: Captain Toad Returns In This Week's Nintendo Music Update
So roughly every week Nintendo Music is getting new tracks.
I know they are apples and oranges, but it would be awesome if NSO added content as frequently as the Music app! π
Re: Could This Mysterious Super Mario 40th Anniversary X Account Be Legit?
Either a legit Nintendo account or some user is doing a long con.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
@cyclone5uk Switch Sports is $40. A paid upgrade for Switch 2 would push it to $50 or $60. Might be a tougher sell.

Re: Nintendo's Share Price Is Now Double The Height Of The Wii Era
@TrogdorTheBurninator And with the cost of the Switch 2, households may hold off on buying multiple consoles.
It will be a successful console, but probably wonβt reach Switch numbers.
Re: Tron: Catalyst & John Wick Hex Dev 'Bithell Games' Makes "Majority" Of Staff Redundant

Re: Mini Review: Handy Hockey (Switch 2) - Mouse Mode Multiplayer That Does Exactly What It Says On The Tin
@Styledvinny79 Snipperclips also has an air hockey mini game, and you can still snip and clip each other.
Re: Opinion: Can We Stop Comparing Donkey Kong Bananza's Tactile Thrills To Odyssey Now?
It is as if Mario threw Cappy onto DK β and then you play the whole game that way. π
Re: Feature: Nintendo Partner Direct Predictions - What Do You Expect To See?
@HolyGeez03 After eight years, The Disney Afternoon Collection not being on Switch is one of lifeβs biggest mysteries.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Multiple Switch 2 And Switch Games Launching In August 2025
@theberrage I am still playing Bananza and MK World, but I agree. More frequent GC drops would help.
Even DK 64 would be appreciated.
Re: Shantae's Long Lost GBA Sequel 'Risky Revolution' Gets Switch Release Date
@UnbreakableAlex They also made Yars Rising. Also a Metroidvania. Great game!

Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Wheel - Flawed, But Still Fun
Iβve been using tilt controls for 50cc races, but regular controls in free roam and the faster races. π
Re: Poll: So, Have You Tried Out PokΓ©mon Friends On Switch Or Mobile Yet?
@Waluigi451 Nice! Iβve been considering getting the full game. The puzzles remind me of Professor Layton puzzles. π
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Wheel - Flawed, But Still Fun
@jarack I find them comfortable.
The right joy-con has the stick right in the middle, so it may be harder to reach for children. But that may be true even without a grip.

@topher6490 Atari 50 is great and I really enjoyed Yars Rising, too. π
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
I havenβt had issues, but could see a problem if I went crazy with the map or the camera.
Parents, probably donβt watch your young kids play. π
Re: Mario Kart Tour Announces Limited-Time "Mario Kart World Special Campaign"
I am surprised that none of the games have a New Donk City level.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's Destruction Idea Came From A Goomba With Hands
Not the same thing at all, but reminded me that there is an indie game where you play a Goomba like creature. Wunderling DX.
Re: Opinion: Honestly, I'm So Glad We Had To Wait For Donkey Kong Bananza
@OHB123 Great article! β€οΈ
I am enjoying the P-switch missions. And I periodically revisit Welcome Tour.
I have started using the Zelda Notes to track down more Korok seeds. I will also use it track down the wells in TOTK.
Looking forward to the new DK. π

Re: Random: Yes, Pope Leo Really Did Sign A Popplio PokΓ©mon Card
@atmb82 The IGN article has a photo credited to the Vatican media. Seems legit.
Others may claim the card is theirs. Not sure about other reports.

Re: Review: Tron: Catalyst (Switch) - A Repetitive & Forgettable Time On The Grid
@Teksette I enjoyed the TRON cartoon. They should bring that back. π
Re: Review: Tron: Catalyst (Switch) - A Repetitive & Forgettable Time On The Grid
@Smithicus Not necessarily. I believe the previous TRON game was a visual novel adventure (TRON: Identity).
