I played this game every day for a couple weeks with my neighbor after school... it was annoying at times but intense fun at others... we finally killed Jaws and it was incredible!
This game gives me hope that we will get a Switch 2 Mario Golf, and hopefully it won't be crippled by the Rush mode that requires all of the holes to be connected... give me the wild and crazy Mushroom Kingdom courses from Toadstool Tour and World Tour... also NO PAR 3 COURSES!
I was enamored with Mario Tennis on GameCube, but I think it was due to the personal era in which the game was out. I got pretty burned with the WiiU version and I never got into the Switch version. I want to be excited for this one, but I'm not.
This game existing does give me some hope that they will release a new Mario Golf and make the courses more interesting.
Game Key Cards are the WORST.. you still get to take up storage space and risk losing the license in the future... but you also need to have the physical card available and inserted in the system. So it's not permanent nor convenient.
I suppose the ONLY benefit is easier sharing and resale?
BUT considering they are releasing the standard digital version for $20, that works for me.
@Gamebits Ducktales Remastered (which is actually a remake and not a remaster) doesn't really add anything to the original... Except really boring cutscenes with phoned-in voice acting.
I'm still waiting for Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch... nearly 9 years. I REALLY want it on a cartridge, but would accept digital only at this point.
This doesn't seem appealing to me, especially for paid DLC... I hope plenty of people enjoy it, otherwise Nintendo will continue to think that no one wants added support for old games (Mario Party Superstars).
@Dang_69 That's likely what they are doing, for the most part?
But... maybe Switch 2 handheld still doesn't have the power delivery (wattage) available when docked, so some additional tricks/reprogramming is needed?
I have heard very good things about this from a couple sources now... still can't decide if it's for me. Really glad that things like this game can exist and find an audience.
The money for Nintendo is in game sales... streaming content is essentially a competitor to gaming time, so it makes sense that Nintendo is not concerned with streaming apps on their hardware. Unless Disney/Netflix/etc are going to give Nintendo a cut of the subscription money, they are competition.
I'm not too concerned as I would rarely use streaming apps on Switch... but it would be nice to have YouTube and Twitch on my Switch 2 when traveling for the much bigger screen.
I appreciate a higher frame rate... but this seems like a game that might have been better off running at 30fps on the Switch 1 if they could have kept the resolution higher.
A portable HDD attached to the dock would solve a lot of this... Play anything downloaded while docked, super fast transfers to the Switch for undocked play.
Yes, an indicator of Switch 2 upgrades would be nice.
Just learned that Bayonetta 3 runs a little smoother on Switch 2... still hoping for a full performance patch before I get back to it, but not holding my breath.
I absolutely love co-op... played the original Biped with my wife... it was ok, but we got a little bored and didn't finish it. We will need to try again and maybe the sequel will be better.
Anyone interested in games like this, be sure to check out "ibb & obb".

Re: Limited Run Games Is Bringing NES 'Jaws' To Switch Later This Week
I played this game every day for a couple weeks with my neighbor after school... it was annoying at times but intense fun at others... we finally killed Jaws and it was incredible!
Re: Review: Carmageddon: Rogue Shift (Switch 2) - A Destructive, Roguelite Wreck Fest That Runs Out Of Road
This looks like it could be fun... but the performance issues and no multiplayer in unacceptable... maybe at a STEEP discount.
Re: Mario Tennis Fever Demo Now Available At Switch 2 Kiosks (North America)
This game gives me hope that we will get a Switch 2 Mario Golf, and hopefully it won't be crippled by the Rush mode that requires all of the holes to be connected... give me the wild and crazy Mushroom Kingdom courses from Toadstool Tour and World Tour... also NO PAR 3 COURSES!
Re: Indiana Jones Cracks His Whip On Switch 2 On 12th May 2026
@TheRazor Highly doubt this will fit on a Switch cartridge... might as well just buy it digital unless you really like the physical packaging.
Re: Indiana Jones Cracks His Whip On Switch 2 On 12th May 2026
It's nice to finally see a (first-person) Uncharted game on a Nintendo console.

Re: Hollow Knight - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Has Been Rated
@jfp We're already getting Christmas in February... Disney Afternoon Collection!
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Lands March Release Date On Switch 2
So far, my best two reasons for buying a Switch 2:
1) Split Fiction
2) Cast n Chill 120 FPS

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Lands March Release Date On Switch 2
Nice... not really into fighting games, but I loved playing Virtua Fighter on my friend's Sega Saturn!
Re: Disney Afternoon Collection Finally Comes To Switch 1 & 2, Includes Two Additional Games
More great news! These games belong on a Nintendo cartridge... I only wish Switch cartridges looked like little NES carts!
It is odd that they are releasing a specific Switch 2 version... is there a difference?
Re: Disney Afternoon Collection Pops Up On Switch 1 & 2 eShop, Includes Two Additional Games
@Gamebits Ducktales Remastered (which is actually a remake and not a remaster) doesn't really add anything to the original... Except really boring cutscenes with phoned-in voice acting.
Re: Disney Afternoon Collection Pops Up On Switch 1 & 2 eShop, Includes Two Additional Games
Hopefully someone can provide info if there is a Switch 2 version.. is it different? If you buy one, do you get both?
Re: Disney Afternoon Collection Pops Up On Switch 1 & 2 eShop, Includes Two Additional Games
OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!
This may be my first Limited Run purchase if a physical shows up...
Re: "The Delays Have Been Unacceptable" - The Wait Continues For Rock It Games' Croc Physical
@SillyG In that case, that (Disney Collection) may be the second game in history that I buy digitally for playing and physically for collecting.
You probably wouldn't guess the other one: Stern Pinball Arcade... but that's mostly because the physical and digital got very cheap.
Re: An Overlooked Disney Collection From Digital Eclipse Has Been Rated For Switch
FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY! FINALLY!
Really hope it performs/emulates well... Having this on a Nintendo cartridge would be great!
Re: "The Delays Have Been Unacceptable" - The Wait Continues For Rock It Games' Croc Physical
@Edd-O I definitely did NOT... HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER!
Now... will there be physical? Probably not... oh well.
Re: "The Delays Have Been Unacceptable" - The Wait Continues For Rock It Games' Croc Physical
I'm still waiting for Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch... nearly 9 years. I REALLY want it on a cartridge, but would accept digital only at this point.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Is Getting A Trio Of New amiibo
Not really sure why the flower includes Captain Toad... weird.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup In Bellabel Park Arrives On Switch 2 In March

Re: Lovely-Looking Cinematic Adventure Sequel 'Planet Of Lana II' Gets A 10-Minute Gameplay Vid
Somehow, I never played the first... will try to remedy that soon... surely it will go on sale before the sequel is released.
Re: The Live-Action Zelda Movie Is Coming To Netflix
I have a pessimistic feeling that this might make its way to streaming very quickly.
Re: Mystery Product Code Sparks Rumours Of A New Switch 2 Model
If it's a more expensive OLED model... fine.
If it's improved battery life or something else significant for the same price, I will be rather upset.
But it also could be absolutely nothing.

I have heard very good things about this from a couple sources now... still can't decide if it's for me. Really glad that things like this game can exist and find an audience.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library With Another Game
Call me when it's Wave Race Blue Storm...

Re: Mini Review: Cast N Chill - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Come For The Fishing, Stay For The Fin-tastic Vibes
This looks like good option to have available... and my wife might love it since any game that has fishing, that's all she does.
GLHF... TTYL!
Re: Mini Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch 1) - An Impressive Version If You've Yet To Upgrade
@Aerona Fleeced out of $500 implies ordering a Switch2 and receiving a box full of old newspapers!
Re: Mini Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch 1) - An Impressive Version If You've Yet To Upgrade
I appreciate a higher frame rate... but this seems like a game that might have been better off running at 30fps on the Switch 1 if they could have kept the resolution higher.
Or maybe a Quality vs Performance mode?
Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
@Kilamanjaro Appears to work fine... 477GB usable.
Also grabbed a deal on Split Fiction and Sonic/Shadow, which are download only and now I have room!
Still not sure why Sonic is download only at 22GB?
Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
A portable HDD attached to the dock would solve a lot of this... Play anything downloaded while docked, super fast transfers to the Switch for undocked play.
Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
@Kilamanjaro The marketing info says they are "optimized" for Switch 2, so it will work.
Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
I pulled the trigger on the Samsung 512 for $75... was waiting for the Sandisk to go on sale.
I feel like standard MicroSD cards were fast enough? Can anyone confirm that the "express" speed is actually necessary or even utilized?
Re: Random: Vancouver's New Hockey Team, The Goldeneyes, Are Using Some VGM You May Recognise
I would have also liked the Tina Turner song at some point.
Re: Star Fox Programmer's Next Game May As Well Be A New Entry In Nintendo's Series
That is even more "inspired" than I expected... the music and dialog are almost the same, as well as vehicle and item design.
Is this potential lawsuit territory?
Re: Nintendo Launches Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility Search Page
Yes, an indicator of Switch 2 upgrades would be nice.
Just learned that Bayonetta 3 runs a little smoother on Switch 2... still hoping for a full performance patch before I get back to it, but not holding my breath.
Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of The Mario Galaxy Movie's Leaked Yoshi Design?
Where's the option for: It's Yoshi
Re: Anniversary: 20 Years Ago, 'GUN' Brought America's Old West (And An All-Star Cast) To GameCube
I got this for about $4 used on GameCube... it was simple fun, but did look awful on my LCD HDTV.
Make a sequel with joycon/gyro aiming... and a sequel to TimeSplitters while you're at it.
Re: Service! Overcooked 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Is Ready To Eat Today
Just based on the confusion of the different versions, this doesn't seem like a good idea. Just make Overcooked 3.
Re: Biped 2 Is A Delightfully Quirky Co-op Sequel, And It's Out Now On Switch
@BlueMoose Hope you like it... it is fairly difficult in some places, but we loved it and I was thrilled to see it come to Switch after so many years.
I recall Pode being ok... Putty Pals was surprisingly fun and of course It Takes Two.
Looking forward to Split Fiction and Lego Voyagers eventually.
Re: Biped 2 Is A Delightfully Quirky Co-op Sequel, And It's Out Now On Switch

Does Return of the Obra Dinn count?
Re: Vintage Shooter 'Mouse: P.I. For Hire' Blasts Onto Switch 2 In March 2026
This looks bonkers! It's like Cuphead DOOM... can't wait.
Re: 'Art Of Rally' Dev's Gorgeous Off-Road Follow-Up Drives Onto Switch 2 Next Year
As an avid Mudrunner/Snowrunner fan, this looks about as similar as Metroid is to Mario.
I do hope this is good and I will check it out.
Re: Review: EA SPORTS FC 26 (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Football Game, Once You're Used To The Frame Rate
If this were some form of 4K/30 I would understand... but how can this not run at 1080/60 on Switch 2?
I might try it at a steep discount to see how much the frame rate bothers me.
Re: Review: EA SPORTS FC 26 (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Football Game, Once You're Used To The Frame Rate
Just remake Sega Soccer Slam!
Re: Review: LEGO Voyagers (Switch 2) - A Beautiful But Very Short & Simple Co-Op Adventure
I'll probably check it out when I get a Switch 2... not sure why it couldn't work on Switch 1.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer
So does the 3D All Stars version get the Switch 2 upgrade?
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer
@The_Nintendo_Pedant
I did... They look nice.
