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

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
