I'm worried all new game additions will be the minimum to keep people engaged with the system. It buys time for developement of new games and must be relatively cheap to produce. I really hope I'm wrong.
@Tyranexx Thanks for th info. I can see why you would be annoyed.
I didn't get Nordics as 9 ran badly on the original Switch. I was waiting to get a Switch 2, then they annouced Proud Nordics. I just replayed Ys8 again instead.
I just got to World Bazaar rank today. It's my first Story of Season game and I'm really enjoying it. You can tell a lot of care has been put into the game.
It's off to a good start. I think too many people expect everything right away. It takes time to develop and/or port games. The lack of dev kits doesn't help.
The system is missing a big single player game I want. DK is great but no BoTW, which lasted me over a year. I think things will really get going in 2026.
It has been rated and adverts have been shipped (like the one that went up in the tube station). Signs are good it will be soon. I think late Sept/early Oct.
Prime 4 was rated recently, so that will get a launch date. So will the Zelda game. A few smaller bits and that will round out 2025. Some big will be teased for esrly next year.
It's good unless you are looking at things in an indoor space. It also change possition when you move it between layers, snapping to the nearest pin location.

I've been waiting for this. Can't wait to play it.
Re: Feature: "We Were Quite Nervous" - Star Trek: Voyager - Across The Unknown Dev Talks Returning Actors, Music & Fan Feedback
I love Star Trek. I'm not sold on this game though and will wait for reviews.
(Also, the last 2 episodes of Academy have been great).

Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For February & March 2026
@Tyranexx I need to try IX again. The setting didn't grab me as much as the island. Give me an open sea or a shipwreck anyday.
Maybe there will be some info in the partner showcase tomorrow about updates.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations
I want to get the Switch 2 version (and hope that it comes close to being as good as Transformed).

Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For February & March 2026
@Tyranexx As someone who just got into the Ys games, what do you mean? I'm getting Proud Nordics but don't want to support bad business.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream For Switch?
It's not a game for me but the Direct was fun. I hope it's good for everyone that wants it.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Surpasses 1 Million Copies Sold
It's a great game. I hope it goes on to sell a lot more. Some DLC would be nice too.
Re: Zelda's Next Lego Set Is Based On Ocarina Of Time's Final Battle, Out March
I really don't like this set. It's really ugly.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Switch 2 Physical Edition Arrives This March
I've been waiting for the physical version. Excited for this one.
Re: Feature: I Play This One Particular SNES Game Every Xmas As A Personal Tradition
I play Secret of Mana every year 🙂

I just got to World Bazaar rank today. It's my first Story of Season game and I'm really enjoying it. You can tell a lot of care has been put into the game.
Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
I really hope we get a Switch 2 version. Nobody seems to have a bad word for this game.
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At The Street Fighter Live-Action Movie, Due Out 2026
Is it April 1st already?
Re: UK Charts: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Slips Out Of The Top Ten
It's a shame that Nintendo didn't push the game more. It's a great visual showcase for the Switch 2, and a very good game.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Kirby Air Riders?
I always find it strange that NL posts these polls before having a review up.
Re: Round Up: The Final Previews Are In For Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
I've completed the other 3 but wasn't a big fan. Unless this reviews are great I will skip this.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Receives Its First Switch 2 Update (Version 1.0.1)
Will be getting my copy later this morning. Really looking forward to it.
Re: Review: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment (Switch 2) - A Stunning Slice Of Musou, Worthy Of The Zelda Canon
Can't wait for this. It'll be my holidays game.
Re: "Jill / Chris Would Be More Befitting" - Resident Evil's Obsession With Lady D. Is Getting Fans Riled Up
I'm sure they will do more things. This is just one part of it. People need to calm down.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct #2: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate it?
Not sure if the game is for me, but I love how much he cares about it. This could have been an easy nostalgia cash grab.
Re: Surprise! Pikmin 4 Is Getting A Free Content Update On Switch Next Month
@Anti-Matter In the easy mode monsters don't attack until you do. It allows for monsters to be used in photo mode.
Re: Surprise! Pikmin 4 Is Getting A Free Content Update On Switch Next Month
Glad they added a harder mode. I'll replay it 🙂
Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
It depends what games come out. It's at least 5 a year, but can be much higher.
Re: Review: Yooka-Replaylee (Switch 2) - Feels Like The Game It Was Meant To Be, Finally
Any news of a demo? As someone who stopped playing the original I want to try it myself before buying it again.
Re: Nintendo Announces Pop-Up Store In London, Opening Next Month
I still don't understand how we can have a 3 floor M&M store in London, but not a Nintendo store.
I'll try to opening weekend tickets. Not getting those means not going. People will be camping over night.
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
@YunoboCo Do Switch 2 upgrade packs need a new rating? I'm hoping we get some more.
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
I hope we get a Pikmin 4 Switch 2 pack with new levels and Bingo Battle.
Re: Poll: When The Heck Is Metroid Prime 4 Actually Launching?
It has been rated and adverts have been shipped (like the one that went up in the tube station). Signs are good it will be soon. I think late Sept/early Oct.
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct Is Reportedly Coming Ahead Of Mario's 40th Anniversary
Prime 4 was rated recently, so that will get a launch date. So will the Zelda game. A few smaller bits and that will round out 2025. Some big will be teased for esrly next year.
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Appears To Be Getting A Proper Physical Release For Switch 2
I need to see some reviews. I have, and am not a fan of, the original version or the second game.
Re: Opinion: We Need To Talk About X Games
In the Wii generation we had Zs at the end of everything. Now we have this.
Looking forward to Dogzzz X Catzzzzzzz
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
It looks like there is a lot of content. Can't wait to try it.
Re: 'Ultimate Sheep Raccoon' Brings Multiplayer Mayhem To Switch This Winter
Ultimate Chicken Horse is my most played party game on Switch. The free updates have been great. I'm keeping an eye on this one.
Re: Opinion: Donkey Kong Bananza's Delightful World Map Is Another Nintendo Banger
It's good unless you are looking at things in an indoor space. It also change possition when you move it between layers, snapping to the nearest pin location.
Re: Reaction: Switch 2 Needed A Partner Showcase With Pep; This Wasn't It
Nothing much of interest for me.
Square really need to get past the 2DHD thing.
Re: Nintendo Announces 'Global Jam' Demo Event For Switch 2 Online Members
I will wait to see previews and reviews. It's not a game I have interest in right now.
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct Is Set To Take Place Later This Month, It's Claimed
A Direct was never going to happen before DK comes out. Nintendo want all eyes on the new game.
It would be good to hear what they have for the rest of 2025. Feels very thin at the moment, compared to the Switch first year.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
People got upset about frame drops in EoW and Links Awakening on the Switch. It didn't bother me at all.
Re: Ys X: Proud Nordics Reportedly Includes 120fps Performance Mode On Switch 2
Loved Ys 8 (my firt one), need to play more of 9. Will get this Switch 2 version if it comes to Europe.
Re: Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess Celebrates 1st Anniversary With Free DLC
I've been really enjoying this game on Switch 2. Nice to see some extra content.
Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Drag x Drive' Won't Include Local Multiplayer Support
No thanks. The game doesn't look great anyway, but this ends the small amount of interest I had.
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
System cost/older game ports/game key cards. People will pick these games up later.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Hoping To See In The Donkey Kong Bananza Direct?
More depth to the gameplay. After the MKW Direct I'm worried that what you see is all of what you get.
Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?
I find it meh. There isn't much to do, and for some reason it's easy to get 'stuck' in the same area. I hope they add something more to it over time.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct Revealed For Wednesday, 18th June 2025
This game really needs to deliver. The Switch 2 is missing a big first party single player game right now.
