I'm surprised kid Pauline hasn't been added to Mario Kart World already.

I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive.

I pre-ordered it years ago. Where's that option on the poll? (The pre-order was canceled by the store in the interim, and I decided to get the Switch 2 version, but the principle still applies.)

I have the OG Switch version. Bring on the free upgrade! ...I mean thank you...

It seems like there should be 2 polls: What game do you think will win and What game do you want to win. Go, DK!

Lone hunter Samus Aran..and her chatty companions. I would laugh so hard if Samus said, "Will you just shut up?!" since the series seams to be jumping the shark already.

Take out the cartridge and blow in it.

@Glasso I saw a different preview that said having this clumsy character chattering away in a Metroid game was like dropping Jar Jar Binks into Alien.

And people were getting concerned about the space bike...

I bought this fro Amazon for $20 during the most recent Prime Days. I'm enjoying it so far but I look forward having more warp and save points.

When does Metroid Prime 4 start getting this kind of attention?

I'd rather see a new Rayman than a remake. Of course, I wouldn't complain about a Rayman compilation on Switch (1 or 2).

Send the electric monk.

One of the article links below starts with "Forget Silksong..." I thought it was going to be about how long Terminator 2D will actually be delayed.

I transitioned to Switch 2 only because the battery on my OG Switch stopped charging. If I'm spending money on a replacement, I might as well buy the one compatible with upcoming releases. I didn't even know about game key cards or the micro SD express requirement.

Am I the only one who thinks that this DLC should be free? Atari 2600 Pac-Man was a pale imitation of the arcade game (which is available for Switch). 🕹

A free upgrade is always welcome. The Godzilla and Dredge DLCs are also free.

Judgement Day got pushed back again?

I vote for Metroid.

I just discovered that Star Wars Outlaws Gold Edition is now 25% off on the American eshop.

This game is now 25% off on the American eshop.

I would have taken advantage of this sale if I had seen this article on time. They meant one day sale. I found this article 7AM local time on Nov 1; the sale is over already. All of the titles I am interested in are full price.

Now bring Bejeweled to Switch, please! I especially enjoyed the Diamond Mine mode on Bejeweled 3.

I want to see the Batman villain Joker driving his green and purple car.

Are pre-orders available for a physical copy anywhere?

Looks like I need to update my Switch version and check it out.

I'm hoping for a Black Friday sale.

@neil9000 Less is more?

Which console is this footage from? Have they shown the Switch 1 version of this area yet?

@GravyThief I hope someone answers your question. What is the difference in speed between a Switch 2 cartridge and a microSD express card? My system storage is already used up.

@Telcontyr I'm not so sure there are two versions. There's the Switch version and an upgrade pack. The Switch 2 game box says, "Includes the Nintendo Switch game and the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. Upgrade pack also available separately."

This poll omitted the choice: Eventually; I am waiting for a sale.

Nintendo is making the monetization of nostalgia an art form.

Oh, and Adventure of Samsara, the other Metroidvania that was released last week.

Being a latecomer to Switch 2, it's still MKW, DKB, and Fast Fusion for me.

@Desa @sevex Echoing your sentiments, I watched the Direct and came to the conclusion that I won't be buying many Switch 2 games. I'm getting priced out.
I used to feel that Nintendo games were valued fairly. My opinion has changed this generation. $10 for an interactive manual? $20 for a DK rush mode? This is after spending hundreds of dollars on a new console and having to buy pricy micro SD express cards because my micro SD cards with many Switch 1 games on them aren't compatible. I never would have spent $80 on MKW; I only got that game because of the bundle. Having played the game, I have the same opinion. I struggled with $70 pricing on Switch 1 games (TOTK and SMG 1+2) after an established standard of $60.
I am thoroughly enjoying DK Bananza and will be sticking with the base game...unless there is a good sale on the DLC. Otherwise, I'll be saving up for MP4, which I planned on buying when it was first announced. December??? Kirby Air Riders could have waited until December, and Galaxy 1+2 could be released anytime. But we've been waiting literally years for MP4 and it's pushed to the last release slot of the year??? Elder gamer rant over...

An announcement of an announcement? 🙄

I'm so excited to get announcements for new F-Zero and Wave Race...at least we're getting a Metroid Prime 4 release date, right?

I have to admit "There’s a music player for those who enjoy pain" made me chuckle. No surprise on the final score. I am curious what kind of review Bubsy 4D will get.

@Dr_Awkward You missed the point that this was a setup for the Admiral Ackbar reference.

Game key card? It's a trap!!!

I played Child of Eden on PS3 in 3D with the Move controller. Sony had released a PlayStation branded 3D monitor in addition to 3D tvs. Switch 2 can replicate motion controls but not 3D, which helped games feel more immersive for me.

@The_Nintend_Pedant F-Zero and Wave Race. Both were last seen on the GameCube!

@HalBailman Hear, hear!

I guess I should finish Hollow Knight.

@kuu_nousee I second F-Zero and nominate Wave Race; it's been a few generations (the last one was on GameCube) . I'd also like to see a new StarFox that's not a remake of the original game or 64 (which itself was a remake of the original game).

I see "it should have been free" and "it's a good value." I've decided to split the difference and wait for a sale. Of course, 100% off would be preferred...

The battery on my OG Switch died; it fully charges in about 10 minutes and fully depletes in about 2. This is less than ideal for a system I use equally in docked and handheld mode. I decided to get a replacement and opted for the Switch 2. Backwards compatibility FTW! Given the higher price for the OG Switch in the Americas, the new generation seemed the way to go. Donkey Kong twisted my arm and Samus is looking good up ahead.

As an aside, Costco offered the best deal: the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle and a 12-month NSO expansion pass membership for $525 pretax (this would cost $550 elsewhere). Donkey Kong Bananza is $63 (vs $70 elsewhere).

So, this weekend, I'll be alternating between Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza; I am thoroughly enjoying both. I didn't see MKW as a console seller until I played it. I also downloaded the Switch 2 upgrades for Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and No Man's Sky, so I might check those out as well.

I would prefer ARMS 2 tbh.

Zelda crossed with Castlevania?

@Chocobo_Shepherd I pre-ordered a physical copy on Amazon.
