I own this game on Xbox and it felt real good to get for $17.49! Given I already payed full price for it once before, I don’t feel bad that it was an error BUT I’d be big mad if the game was revoked. Happy to see them doing the right thing.
I didn’t get a ton of time with the demo, so maybe I’m missing something…but having all the “moves” (attack, inhale, charge/boost) under the B Button feels crazy to me. I’m accidentally charging when I want to attack. And the right trigger charges too and so does A?? It’s all very confusing. I’m having a hard time understanding what this game is.
@DominionGamma Yeah, 2027 is what I said. My best guess, they likely started development with a small team for the switch 2 edition plus the new content and in tandem another team started the next animal crossing game. Once the small team is finished with the January release, they'll join the other team on the new AC.
For me the upgrades are something I want when I replay the games, I never got to galaxy on 3D all stars, so as a res nerd, I’m happy I waited. That said, I’ll wait for MAR10 day next year and see if the game gets a discount. It is a little pricey.
I jumped into my old world on my XSX and loved how everything looked with the new visuals update. Excited, I grabbed my NS2 and was bummed that it didn't have it.
@Medic_alert I'm a total achievement himbo and have the game on my Xbox but haven't finished it or played any of the DLC...So the idea of taking on the go and playing it on my xbox at home is very appealing..IF I can still get my achievement lol
Does anyone know how cross progression works? Like if I play this on my S2 and then go back to my Xbox (which I have the game on there) will my achievements pop if I did something that qualifies on the switch?
I wanted this but the price is just far too high. Other companies will probably sell a carry case with room for the dock for $50 or less. We are experiencing peak Nintendo pride with these accessories prices.
I didn’t realize that the charge grip had buttons on the back side. So little things like that have been fun to discover with the 3-D views of hardware.
@stache13 maybe, I think you're on to something. The lawsuit hit right after the game came out on PS5, I suspect Nintendo/Pokemon started building a case after it got super popular on PC/Xbox and the Palworld/Sony partnership only made them move up their timeline. I'm sure it's much MUCH harder to sue a game that's in early access because the "mechanics could easily be changed" (before official release) argument probably has strange courtroom implications.
I thought this lawsuit was going to be about how much the monster looked like Pokemon not game play patents. I assume Nintendo/Pokemon is suing because of the broad similarities and the patent angle is just here the lawyers feel most confident.
The price on that all in one carry case was already super expensive, Nintendo is probably making a huge profit on that. Yes, the US tariffs are probably adding some effect, but we are expecting peak Nintendo pride.
@Toastmaster it’s true, but Nintendo isn’t as rich as Microsoft…and a lot of these Nintendo games are a year or more old, so it makes sense… would have liked to see Mario party jamboree as a free upgrade since it’s newer, but I’m OK with all the other ones
@Shade_Koopa with the capability of the steamdeck and Ally X - it would stand to reason the system does 720 or maybe 1080 in handheld mode and when docked can pump out 2k or 4k. If the system cost $500 - it should be able to do that. If it’s another $300-400 machine - I doubt it would.
A Switch 2 that's fully backward compatible with the switch would be amazing. Maybe it puts out 4k/30 on TVs, I'd be ecstatic about that, realistically, I don't expect it (that way I'm not disappointed) and I'd still be happy with a 1440p output or something. I just want more graphical power and it would be nice if they upscaled older games like the XBone to XSX did.
Sitting at 100 shrines, all the sages, 45 seed trees, master sword, full stamina and one full row of hearts. Haven’t finished the main story but I think I’m close. Still have SO much to explore and do!

Re: Poll: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Getting A Huge Update In Early 2026, What Are You Most Excited For?
This says to me, they've JUST started working on a new Animal Crossing. So I would be surprised if they announce a new one that comes out before 2027.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Nintendo's Cheapest Switch 2 Edition Yet
For such a big game update, I can't believe it's free. The $5 it will cost me to upgrade to the S2 edition seems very worth it.
Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Lands New Expansion As App Surpasses 150 Million Downloads
The breakneck speed at which boosters come out is not fun. They seem to cater to the whales.
Re: Nintendo Calls On 'Stranger Things' Star To Promote Its New Pokémon Adventure For Switch 2
A lot of people took home a paycheck for that add and they really shouldn’t have. What a completely boring commercial and waste of talent.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
I personally thought Gear 5 was a refreshingly great take on the franchise. So if Metroid can pull this off, I'll be very pleased.
