Not surprising. There's also the fact that some titles have been on other platforms for quite some time and people have already played them.
As as mentioned above... IF I ever decide to get a Switch 2 (assuming PC emulation doesn't pan out within 2-3 years), I would surely be one of those people who only play Nintendo exclusive titles.
I've basically said goodbye to traditional consoles this year and my XSX is gone, my PS5 is more for Netflix/Sportsnet/Plex than anything, and PC and Steam Deck get all the love.
Not really that impressive, many are ports or re-releases that you can buy cheaper elsewhere.
GameCube and Wii has the best launches I'd say, but really overall most Nintendo launches are lackluster with only 1 major worthwhile title available.
I wanted to love the Switch 2, but somehow I get less excited as more information comes out, despite feeling like I was already at rock bottom for excitement.
Hell at this point...not even sure I'm excited for PC emulation to arrive.
I forgot about the cardboard stuff Nintendo did until I watched this... LOL. Genius marketing,,, cardboard cutouts in a cardboard box and people went crazy for it...
This looks absolutely horrendous.... The art style is just blah. I tried watching the Mutant Mayhem movie or whatever it was called, but I had to turn it off after a half hour.
Shredders Revenge is the best game for us these days.
I really can't see Double Dragon in this art style and what I've heard of the music so far, I'm very unimpressed as Double Dragon soundtracks are generally awesome.
I'm hoping it's a little more of a return to Zelda roots, or at least not as boring as I found Breath of the Wild. A pretty game doesn't make a good game.
Hopefully it can be peeled without damaging a corner... This would piss off collector's....If I learned anything from Mass Effect 2, don't mess with collector's.
@moodycat I don't I ever considered Mario Kart & F-Zero to be the same thing... I always owned both games on a console and played both when I was in the right mood.
A mix of stuff... FortNite and Kena on PS5, Wild At Heart and Trek to Yomi on XSXand just bought Monkey Ball remaster pack on Switch so more of the main story mode there.
@MostHandsieBoy I'm saying it's a bad pricepoint for a virtually useless service. Everyone has different tastes in what they wear - style, colors, images, etc.. If it works for you, good for you.
And no, I'm not "poor". Let's see, my paycheque two weeks ago was for $3500 and I grabbed an Xbox Series X bundle, a few other games and our family enjoyed some fantastic wagyu striploins over the weekend.. We're not rich, but we're comfortable. Have a nice day.
I want the game since I loved the demo, but I have to wait... In the last month and a half I've bought Skyward Sword, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Luigi's Mansion 3, new SMB U Switch, various smaller titles, Elden Ring, Horizon FW, and as of yesterday an Xbox Series X All-Access bundle... my wife will kill me, literally, if I buy Kirby right now.

Re: Poll: GameStop Offers A Tempting Switch 2 Trade-In Deal, But Is It Really Worth It?
Nope. My Switch OLED is basically for my daughter now, she enjoys it from time to time... and even she's going to go full PC in due time.
I play my Switch library on Sudachi/Yuzu/RyuJinx so if she gives up the Switch OLED, I'll just sell it on marketplace.

Anyway, congrats on 10 years.
Re: New Switch Emulator Devs Are Jumping Through Hoops To Avoid A Nintendo Takedown
Most games still work fine on yuzu and RyuJinx anyway.
Re: Random: Owners Of A Nintendo Frying Pan Are Being Warned Not To Use It
@nukatha Cast iron is my go-to.. works amazing for bread, lasagna, mac and cheese, etc.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Has Reportedly Leaked Online
It has....can confirm it's working perfect on RyuJinx. Haven't tried on Yuzu yet.
Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?
Didn't notice any issues on the Deck if there were any.
Only recent game I've noticed pretty rough framerates with are Black Myth and Dragon's Dogshit.
Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Looks Stunning In New Gameplay Footage
Looks amazing, pretty excited for this one and the 1+2 remake.
Re: TMNT: Mutants Unleashed Comes Out Of Its Shell This October
This looks absolutely horrendous.... The art style is just blah. I tried watching the Mutant Mayhem movie or whatever it was called, but I had to turn it off after a half hour.
Shredders Revenge is the best game for us these days.
Re: Creators Of New Switch Emulator 'Suyu' Hope To Avoid Nintendo's Wrath
Love it. I have my fair share of legit purchased Switch games, about 112 I think, but I enjoy my pirate collection as well on the Steam Deck.
Re: Poll: Do You Want To See 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder 2'?
No. Didn't love Wonder overall. Loved a couple levels, and some of the effects, but that's it.
I'd much prefer a new Mario Galaxy or 3D reimaginings of Mario Bros 1-3

Re: Review: Dave The Diver - One Of The Best Games In A Year Of Greats
@-wc- I'd love the reimagined Zelda games based on the first three games.
Tears is cool but it's too big and I got bored after the first temple.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Halloween Fatality Confirmed As "Premium Shop" Item
Makes me rethink my idea to even buy the game when it goes on sale.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Sonic Superstars
It's decent fun so far, bosses are enjoyable and the levels are mostly short and sweet though I got lost in speed Jungle just a bit.
Re: GameCube Classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Is Heading To Switch
I've been loving TYD on my Steam Deck. This was a good announcement to end the show. I'm thinking maybe a new F-Zero is coming next.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Fans Aren't Happy About Rockstar's "Lazy Port"
It's a pass for me. I still have the 360 version that I could play any time in my XSX, no difference in that version.
Re: Review: Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise Of The Dragons - Likeable, But Lacks Its Peers' Punch
I really can't see Double Dragon in this art style and what I've heard of the music so far, I'm very unimpressed as Double Dragon soundtracks are generally awesome.
Re: Nintendo's Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom TV Ad Might Be Its Best One Ever
The only way they'd top this is bringing in Zelda Williams, but I'm not sure she could handle doing another Zelda commercial without her dad.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch Download Card Shows Off New Characters
I'm hoping it's a little more of a return to Zelda roots, or at least not as boring as I found Breath of the Wild. A pretty game doesn't make a good game.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch Download Card Shows Off New Characters
@Eagly Not everyone. I went from a complete pass to waiting for reviews after that last trailer and the leaked TV ad.
Re: Eiji Aonuma On Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom: Expect New Gameplay That Will Change The Game World
I feel very confident that this is going to be a terrible Zelda game and more people will feel that way when they play it.
Re: Nintendo's Anticipated Switch Release Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Will Skip PAX East
They're really keeping the details on this game under lock and key.... Weird.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Octopath Traveler II?
Just here for the results, not voting. I've barely touched the first game and really need to try and get into it...I do love the art style.
Re: Nintendo's Official Mario Day Sale Is Starting Next Week
I was hoping for Strikers myself. Of that list, the only one I don't have is Yoshi's Crafted World.
Re: Best Of 2022: Which Zelda Game Should You Play First?
Breath of the Wild isn't a Zelda game in any way but the name.
The original is the best to start, but it that's too retro, then I'd say Link to the Past.
Re: The 3DS And Wii U Are Losing Two More Features Next Month
I thought I cared about the whole shutdown issue but realized I rarely touch my 3DS anyhow and when I do, it's for my physical game collection.
Re: Poll: So, How Are You Pronouncing Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
It's tears as in crying, obviously.
Anyway, screw this game. Give me Wind Waker HD - it's a better Zelda any day of the week.
Re: We're Getting Serious Zelda: Wind Waker Vibes From Sinister Fishing Game 'Dredge'
I want it. This is a day one Switch purchase.
Re: Video: Hogwarts Legacy Gets A New Trailer Introducing The Dark Arts
Pre-ordered digital deluxe on PS5 for this one!
Re: Review: Wave Race 64 - A Thrilling Racer That's Still Deeply Impressive
Always loved this game, always will. It's one of the best N64 games ever made.
Re: Best 3DS And Wii U DLC You Should Get Before The eShops Close Forever
Yeah, I was hoping the US pricing would convert as $19.99 USD would be $29.99 but it's actually $49.99
Re: Best 3DS And Wii U DLC You Should Get Before The eShops Close Forever
The prices here definitely don't match the Canadian eShop... most of these are $40-$55 each.

Re: Feature: Nintendo eShop Selects - May 2022
I tried PACMAN Museum on GamePass but felt there was some major input lag, may be just an Xbox issue though.
Re: Poll: What's The Best James Bond Game?
I'd go with Nightfire.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Mario Strikers: Battle League
That guitar cover in the background... what is it? Is it on Spotify? I NEED IT!
Re: Random: Is This Cryptic Tweet A Hint At New Zelda Remakes?
I want Wind Waker to be fully portable, that's it.
Hell, cancel BotW2 for all I care.
Re: Pokémon Trading Card Game Introduces Peelable Ditto Cards
Hopefully it can be peeled without damaging a corner... This would piss off collector's....If I learned anything from Mass Effect 2, don't mess with collector's.
Re: Fall Guys Is Going Free-To-Play, Comes To Switch This Summer With Cross-Play And A Huge Update
Season passes are just a way to bring in constant income. From a business perspective, it's great.
Doubt they'll ever get a penny from me though, I lost interest in the game quite awhile back - was fun for awhile at launch though.
Re: Reggie Doesn't Seem To Think Nintendo Has "Abandoned" F-Zero, Says There's Still Hope
@moodycat I don't I ever considered Mario Kart & F-Zero to be the same thing... I always owned both games on a console and played both when I was in the right mood.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 7th)
A mix of stuff... FortNite and Kena on PS5, Wild At Heart and Trek to Yomi on XSXand just bought Monkey Ball remaster pack on Switch so more of the main story mode there.
Re: Nintendo Shares Advice For Those Suffering Switch Battery Issues
Can't say I've had battery issues with my Switch, original or my OLED.
Only terrible battery hog in this house is my Series X controller... It goes through AA's quicker than I can finish a bag of fuego Taki's.
Re: Rumour: 18+ Super Mario LEGO Set Looks To Be The Biggest Yet
Sounds cool. Maybe after we finish our 6020-piece Hogwarts, this'll make its way in our home.
Re: Random: Logan Paul Spends Absurd Money On Rare Pokémon Card
@Lem1697 I just think he's an idiot, but as long as he's happy, good for him. He has no effect on my life .

Re: Amazon US Launches Pokémon T-Shirt Subscription Service
That's a steep price point for a t-shirt these days.... especially since I honestly don't believe it would be high quality material.
Re: Review: Kirby And The Forgotten Land - A Breezy Delight With Mario-Level Invention
I want the game since I loved the demo, but I have to wait...

Re: Nintendo Highlights Upcoming N64 Releases In Latest 'Switch Online + Expansion Pack - Overview Trailer'
Looking forward to trying Pokemon Snap for the first time.
Hoping to see Waverace 64, 1080 Snowboarding and a few others join the service.
