Pokémon Z-A switch 2 edition is playable on both consoles. Glad to see they did the same here. It will be interesting to pop into my switch lite and check the difference.

Nice! Only problem is I own this trilogy like 3 times over on PC lol. Maybe I’ll buy at a deep discount.

I’m confused. The last Xenoblade X update was 1.0.2 in April. What is this new update they are talking about?

@Discostew yes but they will go on sale less often on the eshop and never as low as you can get them on PC

Again for me I’ll most likely be keeping to switch 2 exclusives and getting 3rd party games on my ROG ALLY X.

The switch tax in full effect. Got wild hearts on steam for $7 ($50 switch 2) Cyberpunk complete for $24 ($70). Final fantasy remake intergrade for $24 ($40). I understand not everyone has that ability so this is cool but not for me.

Most fun I’ve had playing a Pokemon game in a while. Guess it will depend on your tastes but so far I think it’s great.

See here’s the thing…I have no interest in Sonic racing games. But my kids and I play Mario kart world every week…

Until they have haptic and NFC I just don’t see the point

I have no desire to play this. I doubt if I will pick it up even on sale. But my kids and I still play Mario kart world on a weekly basis. It’s good to have competition so keep trying sega but yeah no thanks.

Yes I too fell victim to the last judge explosion. My thought was “well played team cherry, well played”.

Honestly with 2 portable gaming consoles, a switch 2 and a ROG ally X, I’m really starting to prefer digital in general. My switch 2 case only carries 9 cards. So I’m constantly having to decide which games I want to take with me. The rest of my physical games sit on my desk at home. Those games would more likely get played if they were digitally on my system.

Even with the sound on I noticed the haptic rain drops. Such a cool feature. Such an amazing game.

@DennyCrane I appreciate it lol!

But at that moment I knew he was done. I defeated him for good after a few more tries 😊

Having just beat the last judge last night I feel your pain. I fought him for 3 nights straight after work lol. And then I finally did beat him…and he killed me with his death explosion…and somewhere in the wind I could hear the game developers laughing…

This game has had me nervous since the first teaser trailer. We will see…

Cool now if they could fix the down slash attack not working randomly that would be great! Or maybe I just suck lol

@BrokenCiv yeah I sold all mine except a select few I really like for this very reason

So for me personally I understand physical media for preservation is critical. Also having an electronic back up is critical.

But honestly the older I get the more I like digital. I have had more than one occasion where I’ve been on a trip and really wanted to play a certain game but crap I forgot to pack it.

I have a ROG ALLY X and have 2.5TB of games on it. (Which by the way no one in the steam deck crowd is complaining about the lack of physical media). I have a 256GB express card in my switch 2. And honestly. I’m getting tired of taking games in and out. Being able to just click on a game and play it is super convenient. I will likely never buy key cards and just purchase a digital copy instead.

Some day I will look back and be glad I have a decent sized library of physical switch/2 games but right now I’m happy to have a digital library. I will still get 1st party Nintendo games physical but other than that I’m ok with digital.

I get that digital can be taken away and that should change but otherwise I’m happy with my set up.

Learning you could string beads to not lose them changed my mind about this game. Ok I can keep from losing everything lol

I’m ok with this. I’m loving this game but I do think everything is a bit too expensive. Feels like every door, every item, every bench has a heavy cost. Maybe there’s a metaphor there?

I do like how not every big fight locks you in the room and how often your silk is at the entrance so if you decide to NOPE on that particular fight you can still get your stuff back. The difficulty has been really enjoyable in some parts and really frustrating in others…which is what I expect from the sequel to hollow knight!

Unless it’s a first party Nintendo game I usually wait for a game to be $20 or under before buying. So thanks team cherry! Day one purchase for me!

Honestly I’m not too sure about this one. After seeing that samus has “psychic” powers I cringed. I’m gonna get it day one regardless but I’m pretty skeptical at this point.

You tickle your own pickle! 😏

I found Hollow Knight very hard at first. I got stuck for a while. Put it down. Came back. Made progress. I love the atmosphere and music. And the late game secrets were just so satisfying. This will be a day one buy for me. Add it to the never ending backlog.

At this rate and with all the hype this should be game of the century right?

I bought the rog ally X this winter. Bought the switch 2 at release. Haven’t touched my ROG since. If they put RDR2 on the switch 2 I may never touch the ROG again 🤣

European one weirdly reminds me of killer instinct for some reason

Found a bunch in Walmart tonight. Picked one up for a friend 😁

My problem, at least with the switch one, is that no other controller can compare with the pro. I’ve tried multiple third party and they all suck hardcore. Plus none that I’ve tried anyways have rumble or NFC.

Oh yeah this game exists 😏

Japanese one is pretty but the North American is iconic

Ehhh I think they shut this down with good reason. 5 years since the game was announced. Everwild was announced 6 years ago. At some point you have to crap or get off the toilet. Just wasting time and money.

I missed out on the Mario odyssey hype. Super excited to play this one. I have preordered it because I didn’t want to have to worry about finding a copy day 1.

@RobTheIII in other words…it’s a free to play game? 😂

Still can’t believe we don’t have a release date for Metroid Prime 4 yet

Dude I don’t normally get into these conversations but you guys need to stop inciting murder.

I don’t care who it is that isn’t funny.

@TheLucas yeah I’d take that salary

Picked one up from my local GameStop on launch day. Didn’t expect they’d have any and I’m realizing more and more how lucky I was.

I thought nobody bought this game because it cost $80?!! The outrage!!!!

In all seriousness kinda tired of the sensationalist and click bait articles/videos surrounding Nintendo right now.

Saw a video a while ago about how Nintendo was abandoning Diddy Kong because of a certain individual that shares his name. Literally the next day Nintendo revealed Diddy Kong’s redesign.

Of course headlines without legitimate fact checking are the norm for the news now anyways.

BEERIO Kart….I mean is anyone really shocked? Come on people 🤣

I didn’t mind Link and other characters in Mario Kart 8 but thought it was odd. You know…MARIO Kart 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I’m finally going to sit down and play Violet.

Used a game voucher for it but just couldn’t stomach the graphics.

A win I guess??

I was mildly intrigued at the reveal trailer. But today’s direct sealed the deal for me. Looks amazing!

As soon as I saw the size of that screen I carefully placed it in the dock and prime shipped a case and screen protector.

First Mario kart game where I can be in 10th place and the first place racer is right in front of me. 24 racers is chaotic fun.

I think the upgrade path will be the make or break for many third party developers.

I didn’t even question upgrading Hogwarts legacy. $10 for the switch 2 version and now I own both? Uh yes!

I’m glad I didn’t buy Sonic X shadows. Didn’t know it was digital only. Made that mistake with split fiction.

Use the YouTube app on switch as a sleep aid. Also with the top USB charging port the switch 2 will likely replace my iPad for portable streaming. Hoping other streaming apps come to the console.

@IronMan30 I wandered around after work yesterday. Best Buy and target were sold out. I was shocked that GameStop still had several units. I had no plans to get one yesterday. But I ended up picking up the Mario kart bundle.

I’m baffled and annoyed that YouTube and Hulu are not working on switch 2. Such a weird thing…

If I cannot pick up Metroid Prime 4 on switch 1 for $59.99 I think I will officially be done with Nintendo 😂
