To anyone going to a GameStop to buy a Switch 2, make sure to bring your dont-put-a-damn-staple-onto-the-box-of-my-expensive-ass-handheld spray with you for the best buying experience.

Compatibility? Hmmm. Sounds a lot like STABILITY to me.

@Ultimapunch Yes, how dare Nintendo optimize the geometry for a smoother and more consistent frame rate and overall better gameplay experience across both platforms, the nerve of them!

Honestly, I can't really see this as anything more than "neat". Not bad, not poorly valued, just neat.
If this was a pack-in, even if it's no Astro's Playroom, it would've been very neat. But the fact that it's $10 separately makes me just prefer getting another $10 game, especially one with more replay value. I'm not saying that this isn't worth $10, but it's not gonna be everyone's first option.

But hey, at least Nintendo has a title to nudge into Black Friday sales for the Switch 2. I can't wait to see kids' excitement over getting a tour guide for Christmas.

This doesn't look too bad, but the fact that it's a GameMill game does not give me any high hopes.

Also, they stretched out the Nickelodeon logo in the trailer.

@SwitchplayerJohn Neither of the Lego games announced today are in-house.

Lego Voyagers is developed by Light Brick Studio, an independent developer for Lego-themed games, and published by Annapurna Interactive.

Lego Party is developed by SMG Studios, the independent developer of Moving Out and Death Squared, and will be published by a company named "Fictions" (Fictions might be the successor to Private Division, but I don't think that's been fully confirmed yet).

Additionally, TT Games is still open, and is infact hiring. Of course, this could change with how unpredictable Warner Bros Discovery is at the moment, but for now, they're open, likely developing a project right now, and I don't think it's wild to predict that it's a Lego game.

If anything, Lego has been more open to external developers and publishers. Even if they go fully through with their in-house Lego games, they're not getting rid of third-party Lego games.

I'm enjoying this streak of quality Marvel titles recently.

And I'm always happy to see Rocket Raccoon. He's been a bit oversaturated with these games recently, but so has 70% of the cast of any Marvel game.

Here's to hoping Marvel Rivals comes to Switch 2 so that I can piss off my teammates as Rocket Raccoon on the go!

Lego Voyagers looks pretty interesting. Lego Party looks like Lego Party.

Where the hell is TT Games

I find it funny that it's cheaper to get the physical version of Civilization VII on Switch 1, then get the Switch 2 upgrade separately, compared to getting the more expensive and objectively worse code-in-a-box Switch 2 copy.

Why even release a physical version on Switch 2? It's not even a key card. At least with that, it's tangible, it has more worth than a damn sheet of paper with a digital code.

No stability!? What the *****!? I thought that this was a company, not a monster!

Ah, so that's why this is a key card release. Because Sega spent their cartridge budget on camera support.

I love Stability and all, but at this point, I'm ready for Stability 2.

This is the weirdest timeline.

I really don't like how Nintendo Life keeps reposting this article. This is probably the third time I've gotten a bunch of replies from this one article, and it's wild. We don't need the same article to be updated three times.

@Lofoten I know that the Wii U was the most powerful console for about a year. I also know that everything else about the console was so botched that everyone barely noticed.

@Misima No, I'm not surprised. I know why Nintendo barely focused on power for the longest time. It's just nice to see a Nintendo console not be incredibly behind the competition for once.

@Rukasumi Yeah, it really didn't age well. At least we have confirmation though.

If I read one more comment saying that Diddy Kong is pregnant, I'm gonna go crazy.

I think that everyone here can agree that Tomodachi Life is worth at least $100.

As a Goomba, and a hot one at that, I'm disgusted by Play Nintendo's generalization of my kind, marking us all as Monty Mole dislikers.

But also, yeah, none of us likes Monty Mole.

I hope they add tilt controls.

@Toastmaster I addressed this in a previous message, so I'll just requote it.

"And I know that the Wii U was technically the most powerful console on the market for about a year. I think I would've heard more hype about it if people weren't confused on if it was a Wii accessory or not."

I'm American, so can you please explain the measurement of the Switch 2 using chihuahuas?

The Switch 1 can't handle a playable Cheep Cheep. In Mario Kart.

Artificial Intelligence can't kidnap Princess Peach.

I wish we had Woolly World on Switch. I prefer that over Crafted World by a lot.

@skywake VRR is new for Nintendo. It's not a new technology, but it's a new pair of pants for them.

And I know that the Wii U was technically the most powerful console on the market for about a year. I think I would've heard more hype about it if people weren't confused on if it was a Wii accessory or not.

I'm just happy for my favorite outdated gaming company.

@sixrings I am not referring to Ridge Racer. Ridge Racer can probably run on a toaster oven. I am not shocked that Ridge Racer can run on Switch 2. Not publicly, at least.

I'm taking about Variable Refresh Rate, as it's the feature talked about in the article. Ridge Racer is just used as an example.

It's so refresh( rate)ing to see Nintendo actually embrace new technology, rather than being stuck on PS3-level power since 2012.

Remember when the Wii U was considered powerful? Yeah, me neither.

Wow, it's like an actually functional digital storefront! How revolutionary!

At least it's upfront and on the packaging. I honestly see this as an improvement from the previous code-in-a-box method

If this game does well on Switch 2, the console could become THE place for all games in the go.

One sec, I'm taking out a mortgage.

I miss Nintendo Land.

I think they meant to say "2052".

DK! Donkey Kong! DK! Donkey Kong is here!

I don't even have a joke for this one, this looks so sick. Thank you, Sakurai.

Close enough. Welcome back, Bloodborne.

I've always wanted Nintendo to watch me while I sleep

Welcome back, Download Play.

Oh, I C now. Nice.

I can play as the cow. Game of the year.

It's a good thing that the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct isn't scheduled for today. Egh.

I love the franchises and games here, but I love the hive mindset, so 4/10.

I really hope that they just casually announce genre-defining titles on this silly little mobile app.

I... am (Hot) Goomba...

@Anti-Matter Are you kidding me? You of all people are judging what people play, or the visuals of what games they play? I have seen you speak over and over again for years about how much you love licensed kids games, and that's completely fine, more power to you, not everyone has to enjoy the usual. But the fact that you're being hypocritical and judging people who play Minecraft of all games is ridiculous.

I'm honestly pretty disappointed that you would have a double standard like this, expecting people to respect your taste in games, yet belittling people who enjoy Minecraft of all games. At least with the mature games you don't like, I can at least see it as your opinion, and I don't really see you bash people for playing those games. Do better.

Oh by the way, this song is ass. This movie is going to be great.

Nintendo Life is a savior for my procrastinating...self. I'll be sure to forget about this article, then complain about my unused gold points in two weeks.

Yes...

Baki Punch Out...

"They will now be banished to only be a support studio of Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto games for all of eternity."

@CrispyMango92 Don't worry, the Nintendo Switch 4 will immortalize every single person who uses it.

I feel like I'm the odd one out here, because I didn't mind this trailer. It felt like dumb fun and camp, and I think it looks much better than the first few trailers.
It's obviously not great, I don't think that this will be one of the best films of the year or anything, but I wouldn't say it's bad, and it at least seems more faithful than other video game adaptations.

Also,

This is cinema.
