Great news. As long as it was getting 7s or above I was gonna get it. Loved Dead Cells

It’s gotta be Metroid Prime 5. 100% sure

It bothers me that game creators have gotten just as bland and out of ideas as AI. I was thinking back to how innovative EVERY major franchise was on GameCube. New IPs like Luigi Mansion and Pikmin. Mario with the hover pack. Zelda cell shaded and sailing. Metroid to 3D.

Now it feels like games have changed as much in 30 years as they did in 1 year back then. Everything that comes out and gets hype or wins GOTY has been done before

Cool, but nobody watching casually is even gonna see or notice them

I’m selling right now and have been for a while. I do think Nintendo is and will be just fine and late 2027-2029 will have the big time releases that solidify Switch 2’s library. But 2026 and even early 2027 looks like what first party wise? Need some big surprises in the late winter/spring direct.

Pixel art always wins

Still chipping away at Dragon Quest XI S but starting to feel ready to finish and move on. I can see why it got high scores. It definitely fixes/gets right most of the things that can turn me off RPGs. Feels like a culmination of classic RPGs. I like that the story is pretty easy to follow and not going off the rails into convoluted quantum space time theory or whatever. I liked the “dungeon” type areas where you have to fight through to a boss. But now I’m at a stage where it’s just travel here then here and watch cutscene after cutscene.

Not a big rpg fan but ended up playing a lot this past year. Favorite was XCX Remaster. Probably my favorite of the 4 Xenoblades. Second was Mario TYD Remaster. Despite the hand holding and being way too long, Brothership was third best I played. Right now I’d put Dragon Quest XI right around Brothership but I’m hopeful it finishes strong and will rank above Brothership.

@WaveBoy
Great idea. 20 year anniversary of the Wii next year. But probably too soon. I could see Wii on NSO after they focus on getting a few more of their big IP games released. Going all in on the VirtualBoy unit has me hopeful they will do right by Wii pointer controls. I’d probably boycott NSO if they try to half-blank it and just release a wiimote nunchuck that use the switch gyro tech

@WaveBoy
I agree about image quality. And even moreso for me, are the Wii pointer controls and flick of the wiimote to spin. I just can’t play these games on anything but Wii. My physical copy of these games on Switch will stay sealed.

My hope is one day they “remastermake” these games to bring them into HD but also resolve the lack of accurate and stable pointer controls

Rogue Prince may be my most anticipated game this year. Dead Cells one of my favorite games ever. Add more platforming to it and it may be my ideal for a game. Hope it delivers. I’ve seen some 8 ratings which is good enough for me to buy

This is becoming a common theme. Wish Nintendo would do more hands-on quality control and approval

That’s great for the fans interested. BUT I WANT THE NEW CHOCOLATIER GAME!!

Hardcore Nintendo fans got their Switch 2 already. Now we will see if it can pull lots of casuals back in. Not a great start/sign here. Switch 2 still lacks big hitter games

Playing Xenoblade X this year I really could appreciate how that game’s big open world led to and helped mold Breath of the Wild. I know I’ve read they specifically helped with the open world stuff.

I think I actually had more fun exploring the world of XCX more than BoTW/Tears’ Hyrule

More like Pants Emblem amirite?

So this will release sometime in 2034?

I’m waiting for physical either way. Hope they release physical with just the originally released version. I hate DLC generally always.

I wonder if the design helps avoid any issues with it being considered a weapon

Originally played this when it was released. Doesn’t stand out but didn’t dislike it. Would like to revisit. Didn’t recognize any of the scenes in the trailer, maybe because I only played it once

I own Skyrim physical on Switch but haven’t played it yet. I was gonna maybe upgrade if possible but now I think I’ll just play it as is on Switch 1

Rogue Prince of Persia! Besides Orime of course. I loved Dead Cells and I’m avoiding spoilers or any info on game but what I understand is Dead Cells with more platforming. Sign me up!

I can hardly tell a difference. I’m glad it got its proper due on the console it was designed for. I will be getting it for Switch1

They should remaster Wooly World for Switch2

Adults ruining things meant for children

I think a bird ate some Skittles (that guy’s Yankees hat)

No thanks. They only put up and give wins to Nintendo in the “family” category which is a slight, it’s carrying on the “Nintendo is just for kids” stigma.

Mio looks fun. Tamer Town looks like Pokémon may sue

Dread is way too low

Saving your game before the final boss, what a novel idea

Game should not be reviewed in comparison to Switch 2

Why couldn’t they offer a middle zone between resolution and frame rate. I can’t pick!!!

I’m buying and playing this on Switch 1 because that’s what it was made for dangit!! And I just can’t quit S1. It’s the greatest console ever.

I bet he is already underway on the next Smash Bros

The Galaxy games are two of my absolute favorites ever, as you can tell by my handle. I’ve played them probably more than any other game except maybe SMB3 and Mario 64. But I have just never cared about the Rosalina storybook part of the game at all. Don’t think I ever even really paid attention to the story

More Sta3ilty

Hopefully people have to purchase less games and Nintendo sees the value of physical cartridges again

They don’t really look like amiibo. Just generic figurines.

I’m expecting swamps and rivers. Loch Ness monsters and piranhas

Why is there a bunch of text and a QR code at the bottom? Switch 2 boxart has been terrible for this reason alone

Looks like Goldeneye 64

At least Link is wearing green not blue

I can get down completely with this list if you take out all the remakes. Tears at 6 seems fair though it’s probably my favorite 3D Zelda. I like how Wind Waker is in the top 5. Minish Cap should always be higher!

Uhhh yeah there is absolutely no doubt that is the filming of the Zelda movie. How in the world could you think that is “fake”? With those horses and the actress confirmed?

Seems like they are trying to make this one a bit “cooler” and more action packed? Rosalina blowing stuff up like a bad lady

Physical for Switch 1, please

Dead Cells one of my favorite games and I also really enjoyed the last Prince of Persia. A Dead Cells with more platforming sounds perfect to me

Galaxy 2 is number 1!

I could see the bike amiibo still on bestbuy shelves 5 years later like the Mario odyssey white wedding tuxedo crew

Isn’t there a new chapter/DLC coming out for this game?

Alright! We only had 10,000 minutes of video content on it so far. Really needed this.

It kind of looks like a prison

Bananza over Silksong but I haven’t played Clair Obscure nor Hundred Line but if those are RPGs I would by default stick with Bananza. I don’t really like point and click games.
