As someone who still has my launch day switch 1 and 2, I’ve come to appreciate the simple and user friendly UI and mouse controls might be the best gimmick they’ve ever done.
DS touch controls were done well for a lot of games, and waggle…sucked let’s be honest, but unless you count the hybrid as a gimmick the mouse mode is awesome.
As for the games yes I’ve come around on key cards and don’t see them as an issue, and games like Hitman and Bravely Default show good 3rd party support.
Honestly the only controversy with any teeth so far is that Nintendo really gave Metroid to people who hate gaming and it shows.
No they said the back catalogue did. They just cancelled the second DLC meaning the game is a bust, after they had to sell 25% of the company and defaulted on a loan that they needed Tencent to pay for them.

Re: Netflix Enters Agreement To Buy Warner Bros. For $82 Billion, Includes Game Studios
The company that has never put out a good original movie or show thinks they can shepard some of the biggest IPs ever.

Whats songs does this one unlock?
Re: Metacritic Shares Updated List Of "Every Metroid Game, Ranked"
The terrible writing alone warrants such a bad rank. Nintendo hired quacks and the game is a lame duck.
Re: PSA: Copy Your Save In Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Before You Enter The Endgame
Utter incompetence. Toby Fox made this mistake 4 years ago and got heat for it.
Re: "It's Make-Or-Break For Sure" - Shovel Knight Dev's Fate Rests On Upcoming Zelda-Like
@KoopaTheGamer
I mean at best the game still sold under 50k and they need well over double that on a new IP to stay afloat.
It’s not looking good
Re: "It's Make-Or-Break For Sure" - Shovel Knight Dev's Fate Rests On Upcoming Zelda-Like
What happened? Did Pocket Dungeon and Dig flop?
Well one look at Steam Charts shows that both games couldn’t even get 1000 players.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Switch 2) - Samus Returns In Prime Form
Still shocked they hired the God of War guy immediately after he killed the franchise.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC Is Introducing A New Type Of Mega Evolution
You’re never going to last more than a couple of attacks online anyway which these are clearly tailor made for.
Re: Review: Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Packed To The Rafters, Level-5's Football RPG Returns
If I had a nickel for every game that launched this month featuring a Bay/Bey Stadium I would have a dime.
Re: No More Robots Is Putting Out Switch 2's Next 120fps Game
Depending on your region. Target is selling a 50” TV with 120Hz refresh (VRR) for $170.
Also has 3 HDMi ports and 4k resolution.
When searching for tvs with 120Hz make sure to actually click through as the box and web page usually bury that detail or uses aI frame gen.

lol lmao even. The game that caused their stock to crash, miss payments and sell to china is not and will never be a success.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Port Technical Rundown Detailed By Ubisoft
Ah the game that killed Ubisoft and the franchise. Tencent got a great deal
Re: Call Of Duty Dev Sledgehammer Games Seeking Talent With "Switch Experience"
Since the 2026 release is already 2/3 done hopefully that doesn’t mean there isn’t enough time to port it.

“Of course the basic attacking unit is called a Pea Shooter, and of course the icy variant is a Frozen Pea Shooter.”
So we’re using AI to write the reviews as well? Or is this meta commentary?

Re: Opinion: 20 Years Later, Need For Speed: Most Wanted Is Still The Series' Best Outing
I love NFS. I own every modern title on Xbox and as many older ones as I could find.
I loved the Wii U’s version of Most Wanted as well one of my favorite games in the system.
It sucks that Unbound killed the franchise.
Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
I got the 258 but I’d really like to increase that. Might be now or never
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Demo Now Available At Switch 2 Kiosks (US)
Still worried about the cringe Reddit humor but Nintendo is good about reading trends and Prime 5 will move away from it.
Re: Gear.Club Unlimited 3 Speeds Onto Switch 2 Later This Year
@anoyonmus
Honestly I’d take the worst version of the game over no version.

Doing it wrong on purpose isn’t better

Literally skipping because the localizers thought they were better than Game Freak
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Reveals "Peculiar" New Forms In Extended 10-Minute Trailer
Forget about game key cards. I’m not supporting localizers who ruin games.

The voice acting in Arc Raiders is better than any western made game made in the last 20 years. That’s how bad English voice actors are.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
I guess Nintendo thought the first movie was too successful.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
It’s really a bad look. Makes them look incompetent.

Like every other design it’s worse in every way but not offensive.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th November (North America)
I’m disappointed I was hoping for a third fake Flight Simulator in a row to round out the trilogy.
Re: Square Enix Aims To Automate 70% Of QA With Generative AI By 2027
The PR way to say you’re firing 70% of your team and you’re ok with your game being over twice as bad.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC Scores December Release Date
Out of all the core rules to break. I never would have expected the level 100 cap to be it.
Both of these new megas are infinitely better than the slop in the main game. Also the leaks are comfirmed.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC News Coming Tomorrow
Expecting an early December release date.
