Im hoping to play the next Madden or College Football game on Switch 2 and it have crossplay with other systems. Might be able to drop the Xbox all together if that happens.
How about a startup jingle or something. Loved that about the Wii U, made the main menu feel like it was worth staying around on. Nice to hear they may have upgraded the eShop though since it play videos of the games and hopefully be better all around as well.
I thought it looked pretty neat but yeah no way am I getting this lol I already gotta be extra sure about taking a risk on paying 70, 80$ for a game and making sure its going to be worth it to.
Wind Waker HD is just such a beautiful game that it makes the GameCube one look almost ugly in comparison. I think I will take the chance to appreciate playing the GameCube original however and see the differences. Much more excited to try F-Zero GX as I absolutely love X on N64
The whole situation with the prices means games like Kirby Air Riders, Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokemon Z-A, etc. are going to make me think twice if I really want to buy the game or not.
Pissed me off but is what it is. Hope eShop is better and they added some tunes and sound effects or something, would really make this UI way less bland and make it feel refreshing and appreciate it the simplicity.
This better be like 5 or 10$ or have more to it, while it looks neat and kind of fun, if there is not much more to it then having it be a paid download is just downright strange.
Thought this was Odyssey 2 for a moment. I thought this looked okay, honestly didn’t seem like much other than a bunch of smashing to me. Hopefully I am wrong but I got a feeling this might be a disappointment.
@Flugen Boy I couldn’t disagree more. It is a surprising set of music and I can see what you mean by it feeling like a different games music but it is an outstanding soundtrack and fits just fine once you start to accept it.
Would love to see this game on a Switch 2. It runs fairly well but could run a whole lot better on Switch 2. The game is great but it is a bit bloated in missions and a bit much at times to handle all the concepts and gameplay mechanics. Still, I gave it a 9.
I absolutely loved Octopath II. I picked 4 characters and played all of their paths (Osvald, Temenos, Throné, and Agnea) to completion. Really enjoyed all of them but Agnea’s got boring towards the end. Would have played the others but eventually other games come out and they got put on the back burner.
@PikminMarioKirby You saw a 1 minute clip of what is essentially the same game with updated graphics. No way you can really make that conclusion so soon me boy.
Can’t believe it’s real! Art style looks great and looms like its going to be another gem of a game. 2026 is a bit sad to hear but I suppose knowing it exists is great.
Never been a big Pokemon guy but I have enjoyed a couple games. Funny enough those were X and Legends Arceus, and this looks like an exact blend of the 2. As long as it doesn’t run like Scarlet/Violet I may end up getting it when the time comes.
Miiverse was awesome. The drawings and sharing of opinions of games is something that has vanished with the Switch. Sure you could go to twitter, Reddit, etc. to discuss a game but it’s such a lesser experience.
Got a couple of new games in Mario Strikers: Battle League and Crow Country. Both are stellar so far although Mario Strikers is kinda bare bones in content.
So many little iffy things about this game that makes me so hesitant to get it. The credits one isn’t even a small bother to me and people really blow that deal out of the water.
Been on the fence on getting this because I love Tropical Freeze and never played this. Just hearing about this is just insulting the 60$ price tag so probably gonna pass on this for a while.
I was playing Switch Sports and it just doesn’t feel right to me to play that game without them. Most other games then they aren’t really any reason to be used.
Interesting lineup especially since there is still much to come for Switch 2. Xenoblade X will be interesting as I never gave it a try on Wii U and it looks darn good.
Im gonna need them to release Returns and Tropical Freeze in a 60$ bundle if I am to ever to buy either. Never played Returns but love Tropical Freeze but it’s a hard price to justify
Unicorn Overlord is my pick. Romancing Saga 2 also an honorable mention.
I played a lot of different game this year and most of the recent First party releases I think I’m just waiting on those to go on sale, don't seem like games worth rushing to get for full price.

Re: PSA: Switch Online Includes Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack Access At "No Additional Cost"
@Dm9982 Hogwarts is launching as an entirely new edition so I doubt it. Would be nice though
Re: PSA: Switch Online Includes Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack Access At "No Additional Cost"
Well at least that is one less increasing cost to not worry about.
After reading this more this is actually really nice! Hope they do this with Xenoblade X as well.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
People saying it’s just a pro model than a new console are insane. It’s the Switch 2, not sure what else there is to expect.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Tomodachi Life
I think they are all pretty good and while one could argue the NA one is to crowded, I think they got the logo right with that one.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)
@JohnnyMind I have no clue how you can alternate between that many games lol.
Xenoblade Chronicles X for me, a few Chapters in and it is a stellar game. Also playing Black Ops 6 routinely and College Football against a friend
Re: Nintendo's Logo Will Adorne The Seattle Mariners Jersey This MLB Season
Pretty sweet as you really never see this from Nintendo. How about a Nintendo Nascar?
Re: Poll: What Switch Game Could You Not Live Without?
Looks like I’m the 1 in 13 people who voted FE Three Houses. That game is just more than a game compared to all the other ones.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Removal Of Switch Online SNES Game
One of the few games I actually enjoyed on the SNES app. Its a brilliant Soccer game for its time.
Re: How Would You Rate The Pokémon Presents Showcase For February 2025?

Re: Critically Acclaimed Survival Horror 'Sorry We're Closed' Comes To Switch Next Month
Looks kinda interesting. Waiting for the review. That music they put in the trailer is garbage and not at all fitting.
Re: Opinion: Miiverse Was Fine, But Does Anybody Really Want It Back In 2025?
