I find current discourse on 3DS fascinating as someone who remembers the first few months of the console well and knew it would eventually have a lineup the rest of the internet appreciates. People insisted it was not (and never would become) worth buying. It felt very familiar to a certain Nintendo console on the market these days.
@JohnnyMind I liked that part as well, I didn't even consider Zelda as an inspiration for that enemy in RER (mostly because I've never played Zelda II).
They undervalue their games, then punish their staff and created a toxic work culture. Then they ask why they need to readjust. Well, not the last part but still.
They know this alone won't convince enough ppl to sub to the NSO+ expansion pass tier and TPC probably wouldn't allow it there anyway. Plus, people will pay the higher prices for these since they aren't part of a named service. Since they can't say that, this is them covering themselves.
I didn't play Defiance due to not having a PS2 or Xbox so I may get that.
Ascendance looks okay, too. Hadn't read the description before watching the trailer and thought to myself "that looks kind of like Symphony of the Night," so it seems like they made what they aimed for.

Re: UK Charts: Resident Evil Requiem Switch 2 Sales Comparable To Cyberpunk 2077
@brandonbwii no, Chris Dring said something like that about 2 weeks after the Switch 2's launch with regards to third-party sales.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 3rd March 2026
Indie Worlds are usually around the time of a Direct. Maybe March is the new February?
Re: Review: Pokémon Pokopia (Switch 2) - One Of The Most Enticing Pokémon Games Ever
It's crazy that this review is one of the more critical ones out there so far. Since my wife actually wants it, we're both getting a copy on day one.
Re: UK Charts: Resident Evil Requiem Switch 2 Sales Comparable To Cyberpunk 2077
"Worse than our lowest estimates."
Re: Super Meat Boy Brings Brutal 3D Platforming To Switch 2 This Year
Not sold on this one, but I had a great time with the original on Xbox 360.
Re: Video: Resident Evil Requiem Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2 & PS5 Pro)
Obviously PS5 Pro looks better, but Switch 2 looks amazing.
Re: Warframe's Switch 2 Version Launches Alongside Its "Next Major Update" In March
I haven't played this, but that will change later next month.
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Will Be Released "Exclusively" For Switch 2
I didn't miss it. The trailer and multiple social media posts yesterday confirmed it's switch 2-exclusive. NL somehow "missed" it yesterday.
Re: Pokémon Presents February 2026: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Winds and Waves put it over the top, for me.
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Announced For Switch 2, Launching Next Year
@kal_el_07241 I have a Switch 2! But a lot of people online say there isn't a reason to upgrade yet. This is just one more!
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Announced For Switch 2, Launching Next Year
I'm officially ready. Good thing for Nintendo this is a Switch 2 only game, otherwise people wouldn't have as many reasons to upgrade to NS2.

Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 2) - A Delightful Yet Difficult '90s Throwback
To paraphrase Bart Simpson, I'd be stupid NOT to buy this!
Re: Review: Resident Evil Requiem (Switch 2) - Action And Horror Combine In A Series Highlight
I'm happy this lives up to the series pedigree. Generally speaking, RE has great games.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem 'Creator's Voice' Video Dives Into The Switch 2 Release
@JohnnyMind I liked that part as well, I didn't even consider Zelda as an inspiration for that enemy in RER (mostly because I've never played Zelda II).
Re: Fallout 4 Switch 2 Launch Trailer Gives Us A Better Glimpse At The Wasteland
Early reporting suggests this has gone down better than Skyrim initially launched. Though that's apparently a very low bar.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem 'Creator's Voice' Video Dives Into The Switch 2 Release
I just finished watching it. RE9 sounds amazing.
GameChat is excellent and really intuitive. It's wild how much it transforms the overall gaming experience.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Team Consistently Aiming For 30fps On Switch 2 "Wherever Possible"
A game that the PS4 couldn't handle is coming to Switch 2 and gamers are really acting like this won't be at least competent? Lol
Re: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Are Already "Best Sellers" On The Switch eShop Charts
Who could've predicted this?!
Re: Nintendo Treehouse Returns This Week With A Pair Of Gameplay Showcases
Given the time of day it's playing in my region, I'll tune in.
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil Village Gold Edition (Switch 2) - A Solid First-Person Follow Up
So I'd add a point for me. I assume "ymmv" ( 😉 ) of course.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen On Switch
I wasn't into the early generation Pokémon games when these were new so I'm getting FireRed.
Re: "Please Don't Post Or Share Pre-Release Leaks And Spoilers" - Capcom Sets Its Sights On Resident Evil Requiem Leakers
The internet acts like this only happens to Nintendo, but this is proof positive that it's common.
@anoyonmus I saw that. FO4 is 6th (down from second), which may be a decent number all told. Third-parties seem to be selling decently on the console.
Re: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Is "The First Step" In The Platformer's Comeback
They undervalue their games, then punish their staff and created a toxic work culture. Then they ask why they need to readjust. Well, not the last part but still.
Re: NieR:Automata "To Be Continued" As Sales Hit Another Milestone
A Switch 2 upgrade for Nier would be amazing.
Re: Pokémon Presents Announced For 27th February, 2026
Ah, the least surprising announcement of the 30th. Lol
Re: It's No Surprise Which GBA Soundtrack Has Been Added To Nintendo Music Today
People disliked this because it's "another music service," but since it comes free when you have NSO...I've been appreciating it.
Re: "We Thought It Would Be Fun" - Nintendo Explains Why Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Aren't On Switch Online
They know this alone won't convince enough ppl to sub to the NSO+ expansion pass tier and TPC probably wouldn't allow it there anyway. Plus, people will pay the higher prices for these since they aren't part of a named service. Since they can't say that, this is them covering themselves.
Re: Rumour: A Monster Hunter Wilds Switch 2 Port Is Coming, A Fresh Datamine Suggests
I'd take a Switch 2 upgrade for Rise and pay about tree fiddy for it.
Re: Missed Potential Or A Campy Classic? Switch 2 Exclusive 'Tokyo Scramble' Hasn't Been A Hit
There will be a few people who played and loved it that years from now will insist it was amazing. It's going to be weird.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Gets Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade, Out Now
That seals it, I'm not beating the DLC for 2 or 3 or starting XC DE anytime soon. They'll probably all see upgrades at some point.

Re: Bethesda Releases Skyrim Update 1.2 For Switch 2, Includes "60Hz Mode" And Much More
Will there be an update to the review score?
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's Next DLC In-Game Event Starts Today
I'm comically bad at this DLC even though once I started understanding how it works, I had a lot more fun with it than I initially did.
Re: Mewgenics Console Release Is In The Works, And Switch 2 Is "The Frontrunner"
@imgrowinglegs right, he isn't someone I'd imagine who'd promote racist or ableist ideologies.
Re: Mewgenics Console Release Is In The Works, And Switch 2 Is "The Frontrunner"
Knowing the creator of this game makes this name seem much less problematic.
Re: Review: Ys X: Proud Nordics (Switch 2) - The Definitive Version Of Adol Christin's Seafaring Saga
I guess add a point for anyone who didn't buy this on Switch 1. Sounds like a great time.
Re: Opinion: This Is The First Game That's Come Close To Rivalling The Best Paper Mario
Super Mario RPG is better than any Paper Mario, but TTYD was fun enough I guess.
Re: PSA: No, Yacht Club's New Game Isn't Coming Out In 2030 - eShop Date Just A "Placeholder"
The demo was awesome, so I'm pumped for this game.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Update Now Available, Adds Switch 2 Improvements
Konami's back!
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Announced For Switch 2 And Switch
@Solid_Python oh, that's awesome!
Re: Two Legacy Of Kain Titles Are On The Way To Switch 2 And Switch This March
I didn't play Defiance due to not having a PS2 or Xbox so I may get that.
Ascendance looks okay, too. Hadn't read the description before watching the trailer and thought to myself "that looks kind of like Symphony of the Night," so it seems like they made what they aimed for.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Announced For Switch 2 And Switch
I hope we get vol. 1 on Switch 2 as well, but this is great. Never beat MGS4 so I'll definitely get this compilation.
Re: Japanese Charts: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Blows The Competition Out Of The Water
@WiltonRoots naturally. Lol
Re: Are Diablo 4 And Diablo 2 Coming To Switch 2? Blizzard Stays Silent
@anoyonmus little ironic that Nintendo Life is silent (😉) on games coming to Switch and/or Switch 2, but are quick to post articles like this...
Re: Are Diablo 4 And Diablo 2 Coming To Switch 2? Blizzard Stays Silent
Speaking of games coming to Switch 2, what about the State of Play? I'm sure something from there was announced for it or NS1...
Re: Japanese Charts: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Blows The Competition Out Of The Water
A JRPG starring Matt Damon was the highest seller in Japan. What interesting times we live in.
Re: Assassin's Creed Has "Overperformed" This Quarter, Says Ubisoft
@ballistic90 wow, thanks for explaining something so obvious when I never asked.
@Buizel yeah, news like this almost makes one question the veracity of such reports.
Re: Assassin's Creed Has "Overperformed" This Quarter, Says Ubisoft
We went from "Nintendo gamers don't buy Assassin's Creed," to "Nintendo gamers love Assassin's Creed." What a stark contrast to the Wii U days...
Re: Preview: Dizzying Detail, Fluctuating Frames - A Good Look At 'Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection'
It's all fun and games until a rathalos shows up.
