I want the Koopalings, they are top tier Mario characters

Great music in that trailer

I appreciate the continued love for Switch 1 but don’t personally ever care for any updates of DLC of games I’ve already played. I think the big reason they still support Switch 1, let’s be real, is because it has sold 160 million units so that’s still a huge market. And if a ga e doesn’t need Switch 2 hardware to run, why not just release it as a S1 game

Hopefully Cow is in this game. Only prescription for your fever is more cowbell

Dew you take her to be your lovely wife for ever and ever?

I dew

I’ve been playing Bayonetta for the first time. Really great game. I’ve heard 2 is even better.

And new games still coming out. Long live Switch 1! I’m a big GameCube fanboy but I can admit the Switch is the best console ever

Sometimes you could learn things in the Disco Elysium headline of your death, so I ended up not fearing it, but the first time I got it was definitely memorable.

A physical game with a digital plant. Or a keycard game with a physical plant. Not to be or not to be. That is the pokwestion

I had zero interest in this game until I laid eyes on that beautiful plant

Cactus Man! Battle Man cool too

The genie is out of the lamp

It’s probably a lot easier just to add more t shirt designs to Stardew or whatever but I wish he would focus solely on Chocolatier

This looks so much better than Animal Crossing which I have little interest in

I think the creations we will see of islands will be so much more fun to view. People are gonna do some crazy things and works of art there

“Full of moans, groans, and swearing in the initial release”

Oh my

I still think a 3D Mario will be soon. If they truly only have one team that can work on such a game then they wouldn’t have them make Bananza. I would really hope they get more creative and give Mario to another team, since Switch 2 lacks on originality.

@cylemmulo huh? To me the Japan water color-esque art style perfectly matches the art style of the game.

I feel like the NA box art clearly wants Americans to think it’s just Super Mario World 2. A bit deceptive

The last part of the final level turned me off this game forever. Last level was great until the jangly invisible bounce part. Flashy game with fun ideas but not memorable at all. Way too easy and shallow until the very last level

All Switch 2 boxart is incredibly ugly and disappointing due to all the text at the bottom. I guess brand new first party games built for Switch 2 and all on the cartridge are the few exceptions

@liberate Outer Wilds is just something else. What a powerful experience and there’s very few games I can honestly say that about, and I game a lot. Definitely deserves an upgrade to help it fully realize on Nintendo consoles.

Nintendo is upgrading all its games but it’s the big third party releases that actually need them. first party Nintendo games already were built fully-realized, since they were designed for Switch from the ground-up. Outer Wilds is a great example. Lots of third party games crashed a lot I found. That’s just unacceptable past a certain degree. Start there

Edit- woops I mixed up Wilds and Worlds again. And an even better example by you, as Outer WORLDS could use enhancing even moreso

I think I finally get it. Nintendo got tired of everyone complaining about all their remasters and reimagines during Switch 1.

“If they aren’t grateful for all these banger remakes of classics, we will just start giving them minor graphical upgrades to 3 year old games instead”

I see Hourglass and Spirit Tracks get lots of medium reception but I loved both those games. I do feel like the music from Spirit Tracks stands out a bit more from my distant memory. And I think that game was more memorable between the two. But having already done the sailing focus with Wind Waker, the train riding theme has that unique vibe. I thought it was a shame there were no ancient/leftover rail systems/tracks in the BoTW/Tears map. None significant at least that I recall.

Good games don’t need add-ons and DLC. Big respect to Air Riders team for putting out a complete product.

@somnambulance
It’s pretty concerning that nothing is even announced yet. Yoshi isn’t moving any units. Of course they are going to announce things in Direct this year but those will still likely be years out.

They talked a lot about importance of launch lineup then didn’t even have anything for 2 years really.

I don’t really worry about Nintendo in the long run but I would NOT buy stock for a while. I think the slide continues all 2026.

Why you only have 1 team that works on 3D Mario is dumb for so many reasons

How many horse games are there on Switch 2? Why do we need all these stables?

I have a intro slogan for her to use:

It’s a-me, Mai-rio

You build it once and can’t reasonably ever build it again. Then it sits somewhere as a generic piece of plastic

@Nintendontyouknow
I’m great. I have a yard if you need to come walk on it and touch it.

@Markatron84
I have played about 50 physical games start to finish zero issues. Why would I need to connect my Switch online?

Strictly physical here. Doing my small part. Will never connect my Switch to internet. Have at least 2-3 years worth of sealed Switch1 games to play. Then I will catch up to Switch2 but only games offered in full on cartridge. That should be around when a new 3D Mario or Zelda is out, and maybe even updated hardware.

The great thing is that AI will be so good in a few years that nobody will be able to tell and fake outrage over it

Nintendo loves pastels. I like that they are keeping the black with color trim theme to distinguish Switch2 from 1 joycon. I’m sure a few years from now they will be doing full color, two color, and would be awesome to do three color (joystick trim, plastic inner trim, main exterior). Joycon for life! Pro is good for specific games but 90% of the time I use joy cons. Arms comfortably and naturally rested on my armchairs instead of “holding up” one big remote with both hands. GameCube controller is pinnacle and Wii/nunchuck and joycons are revolutionary.

Also, what is the difference between choices maybe, thinking about it, and not sure?

One mistake made is that Mario Kart is not a console mover. It is a game everyone gets when they get a Nintendo console. Hence the lifetime sales. But it is not the reason people get the console. I think they failed to see that subtle distinction

Hardcore fans and people with no money concerns bought on Day 1.

There is zero incentive for casuals to get a Switch 2. What is coming out this year? Yoshi? lol. More miniscule graphical updates? lol.

I think it’s safe to say if anyone was putting in the THOUSANDS of hours required to achieve this they would have let it be known once they accomplished it

@rvcolem1 I’m with you. Looks like Wii shovelware which was very rampant then

@LoroTalby your data is harvested and sold every second no matter what you turn on or off. I wouldn’t worry about it. Embrace targeted advertising. It’s usually things that interest you.

I copied their example but put his noodly noodle arm on his left instead of his right. I don’t see how I can lose this.

They are getting into the vape market. Puff Puff Vapes!

I’m currently playing Dragon Quest 11S yada yada. First DQ game I’ve ever played. Actually I just finally rolled credits the other day. Thought it was a very good game. But lagged a bit in the middle and very long. Of course there seems to be a lot more. The completionist in me annoys me sometimes. Because I want to move on, but it seems I may only be just starting a Third Act now…

I should probably play this postgame stuff, you guys think? I will say I was plenty satisfied with the way everything wrapped up with the credits roll ending. I just could never find a bunny suit nor the universal key. So maybe I will find those at least.

@Moistnado
Sorry to hear about your fan. I noticed back when I played Luigi Mansion 3 mine would occasionally make noise. But it would stop after reset and thankfully hasn’t happened again for a few years now. I wonder if Luigi Mansion 3 was just too pretty and thus taxing.

My original joycon have zero rubber left on the sticks. Their battery life is much decreased. They have always had moments of phantom input or unresponsiveness. Not sure if that is considered “drift” though. I still use them while my newer pair charge.

Thank goodness the Switch 2 is backwards compatible or I’d be so worried about playing my Switch library down the road (almost all physical) that I would be tempted to buy a Switch 1 just to keep on reserve. I also like that they have seemed to have most major titles working on Switch 2

Thanks for bumping this article and reminding me of this game. Always down for a 2D Zelda-like. After seeing this article revived and reading more reviews I just ordered this game physical.

For me personally, this piece didn’t age well. I just loaded up on 15 new Switch 1 games and got a new pair of joycon (blue and neon yellow, soooo nice) for my Switch 1. I will be backlogging Switch 1 all 2026 just like I did in 2025 and I’m super excited.

Switch 1 for life! Best console ever! I don’t think I will really “switch” over to 2 full time until AT LEAST 2027. Even then what has been announced? First party wise?

I rank the Pikmin series 1, 3, 4, 2

Very satisfying to juice your fruit at the end of each day.

Somewhat surprised thousand year door and Xenoblade X didn’t make the Switch list. And Galaxy bundle barely in at 19

Played it last year and loved it. But for me it’s a game I don’t think I will ever play again. But I’m that way for most games. With so many to play I take in a game as much as I can, only play 1 game at a time, and to completion. I will listen to the soundtrack in the future though to take me back. Game deserves its success. Will buy Haunted Chocolatier day 1.

Yes we all want a puff-puff!

Old man yells at joycon

They should have made a Star Fox Adventures 2 if they wanted to do an open world shooter.

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