These were the review scores I expected. Nintendo seems keen on making Mario sports more multi-player focused because it encourages families to play. I see no problem with that as someone who has 4 kids that would love playing this game.
@Pillowpants they rationalize that by saying that the games coming don't interest them or they aren't exclusive. I don't bother talking to them because they often present their argument like you said "there are no games for it!" Those same people have said that about previous Nintendo consoles, as well.
I doubt this will deter them too much in making another entry. Let's just hope this time the gap is smaller between releases.
On another note, there was no way this game was going to be revered. It just wasn't going to happen with the expectations fans had. In any case, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I agree with the other people who say it's fine by me. I've gotten enjoyment out of the updates, but I have also been more inclined to hold off on some of my backlog in hopes of updates. Not that there is a shortage of games to play even doing that...
Love to see it. There should be a nice mix of old and new games in this showcase. Some of which I'm sure will outrage the internet (for one reason or another).
@Duncanballs yes, I should specify it's more about essentials than anything. Video games are just a nice thing to have so price increases there bother me a lot less.
Man, if only may paycheck went up to match all these price increases. And no, I don't mean just the potential increase on NS2. Everything has gone up far faster than wages and I'm sick of pretending that isn't happening.
Well, this is a weird feeling. A third-party game coming day and date on a Nintendo console where I actually want the Nintendo version. This hasn't happened since the GCN!
With Pokémon gen 10 rumored to be NS2 exclusive later this year, I figure next fiscal year will look great for the system as well. I don't think the internet is prepared for Nintendo to follow a success with a success...
MKW has already outsold base MK8, that's wild. Also, I apparently contributed to the Legends ZA Switch 1 count, because I bought it there and upgraded it to Switch 2.
Forgot to mention Kirby Air Riders. That game is actually selling well, all things considered.
This game looks very fun and hilarious and it's perfectly okay that there are LGBTQ+ options available for those who want them. I don't partake, but if that's for you, great.
What would be great for me is if there was mouse mode and better resolution for handheld on NS2 but it seems like those are a no go.
The Last Story really was a great game. Time flies because it doesn't feel like it was that long ago this game came out (for NA, tbf, it came out later but still it was a long time ago).
Saw this on the Nintendo Today App. Maybe Nintendo is clearing the way for a massive "General" Direct in the near future. Also, I hope it looks a little bit nicer on NS2 because I plan on playing it there and why not...

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battle Season 7 Start Date And Mega Stone Rewards Revealed
@springer17 I figured that out a while ago. No point in chasing the latest one right away.
Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remaster Art Book Pops Up On Amazon
Hope we get a Switch 2 version because I didn't beat this game on Wii U. Yes, I had a Wii U. There are dozens of us!
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Pokémon Pokopia
Tbh, I saw this coming. The trailers made the game look pretty fun. Only surprise is how universally positive the previews seem.
Re: Surprise! Braid: Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Just Dropped
Maybe people find Blow to be an "utterly terrible" guy and don't want to give him (more) money.
Re: Review: Reanimal (Switch 2) - Little Nightmares Team Delivers Its Darkest, Boldest Vision Yet
Given it's on the short side, I'll wait for a sale but what a score. I honestly didn't expect that.
Re: Digital Foundry Talks Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's "Suitably Impressive" Switch 2 Trailer
Seems like third-parties are doing a generally good job with NS2, so far. That's great.
Re: Preview: Despite Low Expectations, Pokémon Pokopia Had Me Grinning From Ear To Ear
Idk why people thought this looked bad. The trailers made it seem exactly as Ollie describes...
Re: Suda51 Says Grasshopper Is Still Working On A "Switch 2 Version" Of Its New Game
I like his games so I'll get it if it comes to NS2.
Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Hollow Knight Or Silksong?
My opinion means nothing because I haven't played Silksong yet. I just wanted to comment that HK is a pretty fun game, even if slightly overrated.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Mario Tennis Fever
These were the review scores I expected. Nintendo seems keen on making Mario sports more multi-player focused because it encourages families to play. I see no problem with that as someone who has 4 kids that would love playing this game.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
I'll buy this since I haven't bought a Mario Tennis since the 3DS outing, which I enjoyed in spite of it reviewing worse than this game.
Re: Tales Of Arise - Switch 2 Performance And Resolution Revealed
Buying this one, but probably not right away as my backlog is still absurd.
Re: Video: Pragmata Demo Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch 2, Xbox Series S, PS5)
It looks amazing on Switch 2.
Re: Hands On: Does Hollow Knight's Free Upgrade Make A Difference On Switch 2?
I played a few minutes of it but will eventually try to beat it again as I evidently didn't get the "good" ending.
Re: Stunning Cinematic Platformer 'Planet Of Lana 2' Leaps Onto Switch 1 & 2 Next Month
People loved the first game and I'd sort of rather try it out before the sequel for that reason.
Re: PSA: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Switch 2 Trial Demo Now Available, Save Data Carries Over
I haven't played the first two games, but I somehow doubt that matters.
Re: Tales Of Arise Comes To Switch 2 In May, Includes Beyond The Horizon DLC
No Elden Ring was a bummer, but this made up for that.
Re: Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok Soars Onto Switch 2 In July
Just watched the trailer for this and I'm willing to buy it.
Re: Square Enix's Gorgeous HD-2D Zelda-Like 'The Adventures Of Elliot' Launches This June
Good to have confirmation.
Re: Oblivion Remastered Is Adventuring Onto Switch 2 This Year
This was the version I'm waiting for. Looks to be a good one!
Re: Indiana Jones Cracks His Whip On Switch 2 On 12th May 2026
Nice, glad to see this got a release date. The footage looked great!
Also, good for those who wanted this on cartridge. That may help its sales prospects. Especially for the physical-purists.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Gets A Release Date For Switch 2
Well, I may buy the first two games this year now...
Re: Video: 14 Exciting Games Coming To Switch And Switch 2 In February 2026
@Pillowpants they rationalize that by saying that the games coming don't interest them or they aren't exclusive. I don't bother talking to them because they often present their argument like you said "there are no games for it!" Those same people have said that about previous Nintendo consoles, as well.
Re: Video: 14 Exciting Games Coming To Switch And Switch 2 In February 2026
February is pretty stacked for both systems. That's awesome.
Re: Metroid Prime 4's "Combined Sales" Have Surpassed One Million, Nintendo Confirms
I doubt this will deter them too much in making another entry. Let's just hope this time the gap is smaller between releases.
On another note, there was no way this game was going to be revered. It just wasn't going to happen with the expectations fans had. In any case, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Re: Overwatch 2 Ditches The Number In Huge Overhaul, Switch 2 Version Announced
Since it's F2P, I'll play the NS2 version once it launches.
Re: Nintendo Explains Why Switch Games Are Still Getting Free Updates
I agree with the other people who say it's fine by me. I've gotten enjoyment out of the updates, but I have also been more inclined to hold off on some of my backlog in hopes of updates. Not that there is a shortage of games to play even doing that...
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 5th February 2026
Love to see it. There should be a nice mix of old and new games in this showcase. Some of which I'm sure will outrage the internet (for one reason or another).
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Teases Two More Marriage Candidates For Update 1.7
If this is what he said be wanted on Tigerbelly, this will be interesting.
Re: Nintendo Will "Carefully Consider" A Switch 2 Price Increase, Says Furukawa
@Duncanballs yes, I should specify it's more about essentials than anything. Video games are just a nice thing to have so price increases there bother me a lot less.
Re: Nintendo Will "Carefully Consider" A Switch 2 Price Increase, Says Furukawa
Man, if only may paycheck went up to match all these price increases. And no, I don't mean just the potential increase on NS2. Everything has gone up far faster than wages and I'm sick of pretending that isn't happening.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Sales Have Got Off To A Slow Start
Man, that headline is not what it was earlier...
Well, Stephen Totillo got confirmation that it sold over 1M.
Re: Preview: Pragmata Might Wind Up Being The Biggest Surprise Of 2026
Well, this is a weird feeling. A third-party game coming day and date on a Nintendo console where I actually want the Nintendo version. This hasn't happened since the GCN!
Re: It's Official, The Switch Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Console Of All Time
Well deserved, it's an innovative system that really changed the game.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
With Pokémon gen 10 rumored to be NS2 exclusive later this year, I figure next fiscal year will look great for the system as well. I don't think the internet is prepared for Nintendo to follow a success with a success...
Re: Switch 2 Storms Towards Its Forecast Target With 17.37 Million Units Sold
7 mil sold last quarter (an increase, in case anyone was wondering). That's pretty good. But the internet said Switch 2 is failing miserably!
Re: Here's A Look At The Best-Selling Switch And Switch 2 Games So Far
MKW has already outsold base MK8, that's wild. Also, I apparently contributed to the Legends ZA Switch 1 count, because I bought it there and upgraded it to Switch 2.
Forgot to mention Kirby Air Riders. That game is actually selling well, all things considered.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations
I thought this was the MKW killer.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director Hopes To Share Switch 2 Update In "Very Near Future"
Well, that confirms a Partner Direct! /s
Re: GDC Survey Shows Switch 2 Is Proving To Be A Desirable Platform For Developers
Switch 2 having that much interest is awesome. What a difference from the Wii U days. Lol
Re: Reminder: Today's Your Last Day To Buy Switch Game Vouchers
In the words of Lewis Black, I'm considering it.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Moves In On Switch 1 This April
This game looks very fun and hilarious and it's perfectly okay that there are LGBTQ+ options available for those who want them. I don't partake, but if that's for you, great.
What would be great for me is if there was mouse mode and better resolution for handheld on NS2 but it seems like those are a no go.
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Lands March Release Date On Switch 2
GKC are here to stay, even if larger cartridges become an option.
Re: DOOM's Switch Release Still Has A Compatibility Issue On Switch 2
That's because MS is preparing a Switch 2 update.
And then I woke up from my dream.
Re: Anniversary: 'The Last Story' Helped The Wii Go Out On A Real-Time High 15 Years Ago
The Last Story really was a great game. Time flies because it doesn't feel like it was that long ago this game came out (for NA, tbf, it came out later but still it was a long time ago).
Re: Splatoon 3 Ver. 11.0.0 Update Launches This Week, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
An update for the especially sweaty players, I see.
Re: FUR Squadron Phoenix Brings All The Star Fox Vibes To Switch Next Month
Of the Star Fox clones, Wild Blue sounds more interesting than this. Maybe we'll get that on Switch 2.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct Announced For Thursday, 29th January
Saw this on the Nintendo Today App. Maybe Nintendo is clearing the way for a massive "General" Direct in the near future. Also, I hope it looks a little bit nicer on NS2 because I plan on playing it there and why not...
Re: Warframe Switch 2 Version Scheduled To Launch In Q1 2026
Maybe then I will give this a shot.
Re: The Next 'Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Nintendo Direct Arrives Sunday, 25th January
Movie Directs have no rules. It's amazing. Lol
