The short clip is adorable but personally it's a bit of a let down that it's Pikmin. Couldn't care less myself. But I'm happy for those who enjoy the franchise.
Luckily I got selected for the Switch 2 Experience in Amsterdam!
When I registered, I thought it would be easy to attend but I’m seeing A LOT of reactions of people who unfortunately are missing out. So, I’m grateful I got selected. I knew it’d be a popular event, but we don’t know much at all at this point. How many people were even selected?
Only one small complaint is that it’s on May 11th. All the other Experience Events are way earlier. So, by then we already know much more about the system and the surprise effect is a bit gone. But that’s also a positive thing! Knowledge is power. Hopefully there are some goooood games to play!
@romanista Very true. I think Nintendonl is very passive compared to other regions. Also on socials. But that’s a different discussion. I have no idea how many people can attend but I’m happy I’m selected because now it seems like it wasn’t that obvious after all.
It’s a near 3 hour drive for me but I’m going to Amsterdam with my 7 year old son!
I’m only a bit disappointed that’s it’s on May 11th so much of the surprise has already been spoiled by then. But hey, I’m still excited I’m selected. Going to have a great experience hopefully!
At that time I just got back into gaming again. Got myself a Wii U a couple of months before just to play Twilight Princess HD and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Didn’t get any info about this event at the time. But ended up buying Breath of the Wild for the Wii U at launch 🤣 Still great times. Got myself a Switch in 2018. And BotW not long after.
Drizzle Season Splatoon 3 for me. And I want to go Lynel hunting on Tears of the Kingdom. I’m about to fight Ganondorf but not before fusing some powerful weapons.
I remember watching all the Treehouse footage right before Breath of the Wild. I watched all of it but this time I don’t want to see any more gameplay.
I basically like all things Zelda related but if it IS the rumoured OLED I’d skip it because I prefer my Splatoon 3 edition. But that’s a matter of preference of course.
@Ooccoo_Jr the Artbook that came with the Astral Chain Collector’s Edition started with a page with a warning that there were some spoilers ahead. Which indeed may seem a bit obvious but I also hadn’t thought of that when I ordered the CE. I didn’t look until I finished the game. Not sure if I can do the same to TotK 😬
I’m totally back into Xenoblade Chronicles 3 again. About 40 hours in on chapter 4 right now. I was worried about all the sidequests taking too much time as I wanted to focus on the main story but now I can’t stop doing all the sidequests anymore.
@Dev9417 I was kinda bummed we (team water) had to defend the tri-color again, but I actually won a few tri-color battles this time around! Even managed to not get splatted at all in one of those games which is… mindblowing because of all of the chaos 😅
I’m playing a lot of Splatoon 3 still. Mostly Anarchy an maybe a little bit Salmon Run and Story Mode. Might even try out Tableturf Battle. And it’s about time to freshen up my locker.
Absolutely one of my favorite games on the Switch, hence my avatar. Once you get the hang of the combat it’s so satisfying pulling off combo’s. The ost is amazing too. Really hope a sequel is on its way!
I’ll admit, even if Splatoon 3 had minor changes I’d be hyped. But after that Direct you can’t deny there’s so much stuff you couldn’t simply add in Splatoon 2.
I can’t wait for my most anticipated game of the year as it’ll be my main game for the next couple of years.
@Bearzilla823 That’s such a shame. My transfer went well with all of my games including Splatoon 2 but except for Breath of the Wild, which I just 100% the month before the OLED released. Such a bummer.
I’m totally back into Astral Chain. Just started File 10. This time I’m trying to use other Legions instead of sticking to the Sword Legion. Man, I’m pulling off combos I didn’t even know existed 2,5 years ago. Good stuff.
I can’t stop playing Splatoon 2 but I really want to continue Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I also want to start a new file of one of my Switch favorites Astral Chain. It’s been a while.

Re: So, Have You Pre-Ordered Donkey Kong Country Returns HD For Switch?
Yep. Including all the pre order bonuses.
I really want to play this game without the nunchucks. This game has so many awesome levels. I can’t wait!
I really hoped for a new DK game but it’ll do for now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd June)
Perfect Dark for the following weeks to come!
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
@OorWullie It’s one of my favorite games on the Switch.
It has so much potential for a series. It did sell good enough if I recall correctly.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
Nobody mentioned Astral Chain 2 yet?
I guess I’m in the minority here but I really hope there’s a sequel coming soon!
Re: Feature: We Look To The Past To Predict Every First-Party 'Switch 2' Release Until 2029
Not sure if Astral Chain counts as a first party but I still want a sequel asap!

Oxenfree 2, maybe?
Re: Rumour: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED Could Be Officially Revealed Today
I basically like all things Zelda related but if it IS the rumoured OLED I’d skip it because I prefer my Splatoon 3 edition.
But that’s a matter of preference of course.
Re: PSA: Watch Out, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Art Book Spoilers Have Leaked Online
@Ooccoo_Jr the Artbook that came with the Astral Chain Collector’s Edition started with a page with a warning that there were some spoilers ahead. Which indeed may seem a bit obvious but I also hadn’t thought of that when I ordered the CE.
I didn’t look until I finished the game.
Not sure if I can do the same to TotK 😬
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 18th)
Hope to finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3 this weekend!
I think I’m getting close now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 4th)
Onwards with chapter 6 of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Man, what a story. What a game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 21st)
I’m totally back into Xenoblade Chronicles 3 again.
About 40 hours in on chapter 4 right now.
I was worried about all the sidequests taking too much time as I wanted to focus on the main story but now I can’t stop doing all the sidequests anymore.

Splatoon 3.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
Wow.
Just wow.
Re: Team Water Wins The Splatoon X Pokémon Splatfest Event

(Maybe Sonic Frontiers, though).
Re: Every Upcoming First-Party Nintendo Switch Game
We really, really need a new Donkey Kong Country.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Colourful Pokémon Themed Switch OLED
Good news for the Pokémon fans out there!
But I’m sticking with my brand new Splatoon 3 Edition which is significantly prettier. But that’s subjective I guess 😅

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 13th)
Starting chapter 3 of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 tonight. Loving it so far!
Re: Random: Splatoon 3's Big Man Has Some Big Fans Online
I actually laughed out loud when Big Man revealed himself in combination with the air horn. That was good stuff!
(There’s another big man in Splatoon 3 though: Murch)
Re: Nintendo Announces Splatoon 3 "Large-Scale Paid DLC", Details Two Years Of Post-Launch Support

Such a bummer.

Re: PlatinumGames Hints At Another Project G.G. Reveal Next Year

Re: Best Space And Sci-Fi Games On The Nintendo Switch
I’d say Planet Alpha was a pretty solid platforming/stealth experience in a great atmosphere.
I should play it again on the OLED.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 2nd)
Pokémon Snap 64 on NSO.
My first time playing this title, having a blast and not gonna lie: pretty excited when a new Pokémon appears!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 18th)
TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, obviously.
It looks amazingly detailed!
Back to the 90’s!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 4th)
I’m totally back into Astral Chain.
Just started File 10.
This time I’m trying to use other Legions instead of sticking to the Sword Legion.
Man, I’m pulling off combos I didn’t even know existed 2,5 years ago.
Good stuff.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 14th)
I can’t stop playing Splatoon 2 but I really want to continue Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
I also want to start a new file of one of my Switch favorites Astral Chain. It’s been a while.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 19th)
Continuing Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
I just had the cutscene where Rex woke up next to Mythra.
Man, that was great😂
