These are cute! Strange they haven't done this sooner when the game was more relevant, but maybe this is their attempt to get more interest in it before the big content update in January
If it comes to Switch or Switch 2 I will absolutely be double-dipping. As an avid Star Fox fan who has been desperate for a crumb of Star Fox content from Nintendo, this is as close as we're gonna get anytime soon it seems.
I'm enjoying the ranked way more than I thought I would, but only after the changes they made in Season 2.
For starters, you can no longer lose any points, so dropping in rank is impossible. Also the rewards for each match are MUCH better. Hopefully this continues in Season 3
I hope they show off more to warrant the price. $30 for so far what is a black and white version of the city, higher level Pokémon and a few more Mega Evolutions isn't enough to make me feel it's worth the price yet.
My god I did not expect this OST to be so HUGE! What the heck???? 115 tracks, almost five hours of music? Dang Kirby fans really do be eating good lately
Better late than never. Glad to hear they're finally fixing the dynamic audio. I've been waiting for that and the mouse controls for Switch 2 to get fixed before I play it
I'm waiting for the fix to the mouse mode on Switch 2 and the dynamic audio before I pick up this game. Doesn't look like either were addressed yet according to the patch notes.
I'm already sold on the game but I wanna dip my toes in with the demo, so I'm excited! I never did play the original game so this will be a completely fresh experience for me!
Super glad that this game is coming to more platforms! Thankfully a very generous friend helped me get a PS5 so I could play FF7 Remake and Rebirth, so I won't be needing to get the Switch 2 version.
I'm excited for the game but this ad really lacks energy to drum up excitement. They must have spent all the ad money on paying the actor to just sit and make some faces instead of any other kind of production value.
I truly despise these code distribution events and shiny locking legendary Pokémon in general. There's no fun in going to a store to get a code for a shiny Pokémon, or just doing a mystery gift to get one because it's all FOMO BS.
I wish GameFreak would let us shiny hunt the legendary Pokémon like we could in older generation games.
I want to play the games but really don't want to spend extra money for the accessories when I already bought the $500 console and am spending extra for the Expansion Pack.
I still hope they add an option to play the games without the stereoscopic 3D
I used to be an avid amiibo collector, but when they started releasing so many, I couldn't keep up, and with the prices of them all rising, I have to be very picky about which amiibo I get.
Now I'll really only get amiibo for characters and/or series that I really love
@EarthboundBenjy The argument one can make against this is, again for testing purposes, Nintendo can keep all of the N64 games together on the development side which would explain the mix of mature and other rated games. The Mature ones only need to be released in a separate app on the consumer side because of the ratings. The apps are essentially the same otherwise.
This is such a Sakurai move, adding the copy abilities for every other character, which means hats and animations for every character. That's the kind of dedication and level of detail is what I love about Sakurai
Logistically it makes sense but I switched B to jump shortly after starting and have stuck with it. This way it makes it much more comfortable to hold jump and punch while in the air
It's always hard to say whether these are official or not. If it is, Nintendo sure is taking their time making an official announcement. Maybe it gets mentioned in a September Direct?
I finished the demo last night but had to boot it up again after hearing about mouse mode. It's a very cute little secret and I love Yacht Club for including little touches like that. (I won't say what it does so folks can discover it for themselves)
Very strange they just had it in the sizzle reel at the end. This is a great enough addition that it could have been a "one more thing" instead and I'd have been just as excited
I love the throwback ad style. The set itself is pretty neat with all the little features, and the price seems pretty reasonable.
I haven't been into LEGO for a while, so I'll probably pass on this set, but it's still really neat to see the continued creativity with these kind of builds!
@Medic_alert As someone who has played through the whole game, I don't feel that is entirely true. Early levels, yeah it's easy to just dig right to the bananas or fossils, but later areas require you put more thought into how you're getting to those goodies.
I haven't gone quite as crazy as some have with clearing out a whole area, but it is very fun to just mindlessly smash through the terrain and find a bunch of gold and other secrets along the way.
Thankfully I don't suffer from motion sickness of any sort, but the camera flailing wildly now and then makes for a somewhat jarring experience now and then.

Re: Nintendo Reveals New Line Of Metroid Merch, And We Want It All
None of these for the US 😢
Re: Nintendo's Dishing Out In-Game Codes For Festive Animal Crossing: New Horizons Sweaters
These are cute! Strange they haven't done this sooner when the game was more relevant, but maybe this is their attempt to get more interest in it before the big content update in January
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond: amiibo Unlocks Revealed
Nintendo really saying F-you to anyone who thought they could just use their old amiibo for content in the new game.
Like seriously, they play a jingle? Why even bother?
Re: Star Fox Programmer's Next Game May As Well Be A New Entry In Nintendo's Series
If it comes to Switch or Switch 2 I will absolutely be double-dipping. As an avid Star Fox fan who has been desperate for a crumb of Star Fox content from Nintendo, this is as close as we're gonna get anytime soon it seems.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Launch Streams Announced, Watch "Top Streamers" Play
Neat that they're working with streamers to promote the game but there's no way I'm watching any streams before I play it myself
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The New Kirby Air Riders amiibo?
I'm gonna wait for the Meta Knight one and call it at that
Re: Kirby Air Riders Players Are Creating 'Micro Bikini' Machines, But Nintendo's Having None Of It
A bit of a bummer that these designs are getting removed. I feel like they're mostly harmless and give me a good laugh.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battle Season 3 Start Date And Rewards Revealed
I'm enjoying the ranked way more than I thought I would, but only after the changes they made in Season 2.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC's Next Mega Evolution Is A Mythical One
While I like this Mega, I was really expecting more information than just a single Mega Evo from today's announcement.
Re: ICYMI: More Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC News Is Coming Our Way Tomorrow
I hope they show off more to warrant the price. $30 for so far what is a black and white version of the city, higher level Pokémon and a few more Mega Evolutions isn't enough to make me feel it's worth the price yet.
Re: Kirby Air Riders: Global Test Ride Demo Updated To Version 1.0.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Wasn't expecting to see an update for a demo but I'm glad to see them patching things up even before the game is released.
Re: ICYMI: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Teases Rosalina And Bowser Jr. Scenes, Here's A First Look
@RiasGremory Bro needs some Visine
Re: ICYMI: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Teases Rosalina And Bowser Jr. Scenes, Here's A First Look
Really don't like what's going on with Bowser Jr.'s eyes. The voice also feels kinda unfitting but I'm guessing I'll get used to it.
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Another Kirby Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included

Re: Surprise! Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Arrives Next Year
I had to double-check and I'm shocked that a 60FPS bump isn't included as part of this.
Still overall a good update and a decent price for what's offered, but I really would have loved seeing this run at a smooth 60
Re: Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted Has Been Updated, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Re: Three More Kirby Air Riders amiibo Have Been Announced
The price of these hurts, but I may bite the bullet and at least get that Meta Knight one.
Re: Kirby Air Riders 'Global Test Ride' Demo Kicks Off Next Month
I'm already sold on the game but I wanna dip my toes in with the demo, so I'm excited! I never did play the original game so this will be a completely fresh experience for me!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week With A Spooky Classic
Looks like my Halloween plans are set!
Re: Nintendo Direct For Kirby Air Riders Announced For Thursday, 23rd October
This is gonna be another beefy presentation, and with Sakurai hosting it, I'm sure I'll love every second!
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z‑A Ranked Battles Season 1 Now Live, Reach 'Rank K' For A Special Reward
I was so excited about the Kalos starter megas, then finding out the mega stones are locked behind online was such a bummer.
Even more of a bummer that I have to wait until season 2 to get my Mega Delphoxite
Re: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Receives A Small Update (Version 1.4.1)
Gotta love the vagueness of these patch notes.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Switch 2 Trailer Introduces Shinra, The Turks & Avalanche
Super glad that this game is coming to more platforms! Thankfully a very generous friend helped me get a PS5 so I could play FF7 Remake and Rebirth, so I won't be needing to get the Switch 2 version.
Re: Nintendo Calls On 'Stranger Things' Star To Promote Its New Pokémon Adventure For Switch 2
I'm excited for the game but this ad really lacks energy to drum up excitement. They must have spent all the ad money on paying the actor to just sit and make some faces instead of any other kind of production value.
Give me more ads like the one with Paul Rudd
Re: PSA: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet - Free Shiny Koraidon & Miraidon Codes Restocked (North America)
I truly despise these code distribution events and shiny locking legendary Pokémon in general. There's no fun in going to a store to get a code for a shiny Pokémon, or just doing a mystery gift to get one because it's all FOMO BS.
I wish GameFreak would let us shiny hunt the legendary Pokémon like we could in older generation games.
Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
Hmm, looks like the original VGC article with the interview has been removed. I'm getting a 404 error when I click the link.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Wow some really good changes here! I might actually have to try going for completion with the remaining P Switches and Peach Medallions after this.
Also being able to join friends in Knockout Tour matches FINALLY
Re: Nintendo Adds One Of The Most Divisive Zelda Entries To 'Nintendo Music'
I'd bet they're waiting until October to give us the Majora's Mask OST. Would be fitting for the spooky season.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
I want to play the games but really don't want to spend extra money for the accessories when I already bought the $500 console and am spending extra for the Expansion Pack.
I still hope they add an option to play the games without the stereoscopic 3D
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two More Titles
Getting more third-party games is always a pleasant surprise with NSO games!
Re: New Kirby amiibo Will Apparently Be Nintendo's "Most Expensive amiibo Ever"
I used to be an avid amiibo collector, but when they started releasing so many, I couldn't keep up, and with the prices of them all rising, I have to be very picky about which amiibo I get.
Now I'll really only get amiibo for characters and/or series that I really love
Re: Latest Switch Online Release Potentially Confirms Leaked Upcoming N64 Classics
@EarthboundBenjy The argument one can make against this is, again for testing purposes, Nintendo can keep all of the N64 games together on the development side which would explain the mix of mature and other rated games.

Re: Rumour: Sony Is Gunning For The Switch 2 With A Handheld, Dockable PS6
I wonder if this means we'll be less likely to see more Sony games coming out for NS2.
Re: Pokémon Legends Z-A's Latest Mega Evolution Looks Particularly Snazzy
Not a huge transformation but one that keeps true to it's nature and design. I like it!
Re: Nintendo Alarmo Is Getting A Kirby-Themed Update
Glad to see them continuing to support Alarmo with more alarms. I've been very happy with mine and use it daily.
Re: In Kirby Air Riders, The Pink Puffball Isn't The Only One Who Can Use Copy Abilities
This is such a Sakurai move, adding the copy abilities for every other character, which means hats and animations for every character. That's the kind of dedication and level of detail is what I love about Sakurai
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's Dig Button Placement Is All Thanks To Miyamoto
Logistically it makes sense but I switched B to jump shortly after starting and have stuck with it. This way it makes it much more comfortable to hold jump and punch while in the air
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Even without my familiarity with the original game, Sakurai presentations are always a treat, and now I'm definitely going to pick up Air Riders
Re: Could This Mysterious Super Mario 40th Anniversary X Account Be Legit?
It's always hard to say whether these are official or not. If it is, Nintendo sure is taking their time making an official announcement. Maybe it gets mentioned in a September Direct?
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
The demo was fun enough to change my mind. I might not play it a ton, but for $20 it's a good enough time for some short bursts of playtime.
Re: Mina The Hollower On Switch 2 Supports 120fps
I finished the demo last night but had to boot it up again after hearing about mouse mode. It's a very cute little secret and I love Yacht Club for including little touches like that. (I won't say what it does so folks can discover it for themselves)
Re: UFO 50 Gets A Surprise Shadow Drop On Switch Today
Very strange they just had it in the sizzle reel at the end. This is a great enough addition that it could have been a "one more thing" instead and I'd have been just as excited
Re: Pilotwings SNES, N64 And 3DS Albums Soar Onto 'Nintendo Music' In New Update
Very glad to see them do more multi-game additions. I hope they continue this trend
Re: Plants Vs Zombies: Replanted Coming To Switch 1 & 2 This October
Dunno how co-op would work in a game like this, but I'm more curious about the controls.
Like, are there touch controls for both versions? Mouse controls for Switch 2?
Re: Random: Donkey Kong Bananza Players Are Already Skipping Layers And Transformations
I so need to see some of these speedrun strats. This is gonna be a hype game at the next GDQ I bet.
Re: Nintendo's LEGO Game Boy Officially Revealed, Releasing October 2025
I love the throwback ad style. The set itself is pretty neat with all the little features, and the price seems pretty reasonable.
I haven't been into LEGO for a while, so I'll probably pass on this set, but it's still really neat to see the continued creativity with these kind of builds!
Re: Random: Players Are Completely Destroying Donkey Kong Bananza Levels, Because They Can
@Medic_alert As someone who has played through the whole game, I don't feel that is entirely true. Early levels, yeah it's easy to just dig right to the bananas or fossils, but later areas require you put more thought into how you're getting to those goodies.
