I'd like a special Switch 2 version where the main character is wearing a mario 64 hat, pretty please!

@NolandC you’re missing the metroids, the splatoons, the fire emblems, the xenoblades, luigi’s mansion 3, other marios, tears of the kingdom, echoes of wisdom, … And even other games with scores of 8+.

@NolandC switch has way more bangers than that. Nintendo is also the only publisher actually releasing 6+ games per year.

Switch 2 isnt’ the same fenomenen that switch 1 was. Also, people have a massive backlog that they can play on switch 2. I know I have and I’m one that hasn’t bought DK yet, but i did buy the mario odyssey bundle back in the day.

Which is actually also something to consider. Mario had a bundle, and was released just before holiday season.

@PushMyGran86 got to crash m! Then get out of the room, back into the room, and crash m again!

Nintendo being on par with other versions? What world do we live in?

Would this raise Nintendolife’s score from a 9 to a 10, I’m now wondering?

@Suketoudara yes. X is a playing field for right-wing extremists these days.

@SplatRay001 Is Ben a lefthander though?

Or will they have to mirror the whole movie once it’s done?

I’m expecting Ben to perfect the one line he’ll have in the movie.

Hiyaaah!

And the numerous times he’ll randomly roll around in grass.

@LastFootnote Oh, does the switch 2 version actually have improvements over the switch 1 version? I can't seem to find much about that....

@LastFootnote dragon quest iii HD switch version on switch 2 runs flawless though. That’s what I’m going for

Well, switch it is. Because it’s not a game key card

I hope Nintendo’s architecture this gen is good enough so that this is the geneneration where every 3d party game is just ported to the system by default.

Then there’s no stopping the switch 2 and no reason (apart from slightly better home performance) to buy the ps5.

Maybe it’s just a Metroid Prime direct, release in August (together with Kirby DLC). And then in August they give a Kirby Air Riders direct, which’ll release in September. And then in September, a big fat Nintendo Direct again with the focus on Hyrule Warriors, Pokemon, a switch 2 edition game in October/november, 3d party big ports for the holidays and whatever comes early next year.

@Ulysses Duskblood is slated for 2026. It’s on the list though.

@AG_Awesome slightly different, there was mention of a first party ‘focus period’, then a 3d party focus period, then a first party period again.

So yeah, you might be right, next direct might focus mainly on 3d party games (I expect microsoft stuff), with some 1st party release dates mixed in between.

There are a lot of release dates for 2025 specifically still left in the open. As far as I know:

• Hollow Knight Silksong
• Elden Ring
• Hades II
• Prof Layton
• FF VII Remake
• Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
• Metroid Prime 4
• Kirby Air Riders
• Decapolice
• Two point museum
  …

Where’s the option to go for full physical?

@Shwing you could tag the original poster, though.

Anyway, apology accepted. Thanks.

@Shwing i have the numbers from thise exact article.

Switch lite and switch oled are also switch one sku. As is said in the article, switch one sku’s are total 17.7k, ps5 sku’s are 8.6k. Thus, more than double.

@Duncanballs sony’s now also not supporting their mainline system apart from one game per year. The only ones supporting it are the 3d parties and Microsoft.

Bizarre that Switch One is selling more than double the amount of the Playstation 5 now that there’s a direct successor.

@dartmonkey haha, i mean, with where the handholding is going these days the support might indeed start asking ‘did you press the turn on button’ soon enough! 😅

@dartmonkey I think its better to change the phrase ‘turning it on and off again’ into ‘turning it off and on again’ 😅.

Otherwise it wont result into you having a working system in the end

The program was used to pull some people towards digital. However, with the switch 2 they’re more or less forcing people, so a discount is not necessary anymore.

A game is never built from the ground up to be online. Since when is the first line of the code of a videogame:

if online = True
Then ...

A private server would not be possible because of security? Just put in writing that whoever owns the server is responsible. Done

This app has become a case of, I’ll get back to it in a year or two to see what’s there.

Nintendo has a weird way of updating it and I’m not sure I like it

Great list! Though i’m waiting on physical releases for some of them. Some of these games feel too big for eShop only games.

Or maybe I should fully switch to digital, but then I expect to only buy like 1/4th of the games I used to.

I like it a lot! Feels like a switch pro and that’s exactly what i wanted. I have a backlog that i’m sure will benefit of it. For instance, I’m now playing age of calamity and I’ve never played the witcher 3 and am now going to. Playing games on the go has changed my life, happy to continue with it with a more powerful system.

@Freek impressive collection you got there. Great to see!

@yalloo thanks! Yes, the new game reminded me to finish this one first. Enjoying it. Hapoy gaming to you too this weekend!

Hyrule warriors, age of calamity for me! Wrapping up that game, the fps boost feels really good! Good to experience the story this way.

A reminder to me that I should play through all of these games again.

I still have to finish MP 2 and 3 though, never completed 2 and never played 3...

@SwitchplayerJohn it helps you evaluating your own life perhaps. And the world we live in?

Why do the people with top 0.1% income need more and more money?

So Nintendo continues the trend of releasing a Mario sports game every summer this way.

It is my gripe with the game. The intermission races are not as fun as just driving on the track. It feels like a slog to just go from a to b

Come ON! Give me those last two remaining kirby themes…. It’s been a hundred years and in the mean time, link has already been sealed and woken up again….

This’ll be a great addition, I’m sure! Would be especially great if they make a 3d party exclusive room or corner, for all art from games such as Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, etc

@BTB20 snipperclips wasn’t first party developed, so no.

But yeah, small games at launch that mainly show the new use case of the system feel to me they should be pack in to get people talking and excited, functioning as a commercial (wii sports). Here, the amount of people that will buy it will be very, very limited.

I feel like this should have been a pack in too. Just like the welcome tour…

I’m happy to be oblivious on this kind of stuff.

It would worsen my day.

I want them to market this game GOOOOOOD! Please succeed mp4

There’s no need to buy the game directly if it’s a game key card. I’ll buy the games digitally once they go on sale.

In the mean time, if they put the game complete on a cartridge, even through limited releases, i’ll reward them for it.

The lore is odd, but the gameplay seemingly rocks!

@The_Nintend_Pedant he still rolls and throws, he just has extra movesets. I’m sure there’s a level where he gets to throw barrels, especially in the 2D sections.

To y’all, since when is DK lore a thing?

It went down the toilet when DK Jr disappeared.

@BenAV you’re not playing your switch 1 backlog on your switch 2?

I’d recommend it!

One of the few 3d party Playstation console exclusives that interest me this gen. Together with Demon’s Souls, Final Fantasy VII and XVI and Silent Hills 2. But most of these are already on their way.
