My wife's reaction to the initial trailer basically convinced me that it would end up being a hit (my wife has an eye for something good, if I do say so myself ). Previews essentially confirmed she was right to be excited, so reviews didn't really shock me.
It really isn't, it's just that most people who speak it don't have a particularly good vocabulary or reading ability. Mostly in the US, is who I'm talking about, btw (and that is by design from our politicians). So...I'm not sure I agree.
Idc how I get announcements. Switch 2 has been getting a lot of software in the last few weeks and there is something from this month to May that we know about. A Direct will happen, but I suspect Nintendo is trying to make it one with about the same reception as the last Indie World had, which was generally great.
Also, about the game in question. This seems like it will be another decent entry in the Yoshi series. People need to realize it will be on the easy side because of who they're geared towards.
*Physical release. Non-Nintendo focused gaming sites don't differentiate between the PS and Xbox equivalent of GKC and "proper" physical releases, so why do you insist on forcing this narrative with Switch 2?
@HatesCheese no, it's not. But for Nintendo to do it when everyone expects them to (Mar10) it is. Too normal for everyone else is weird for Nintendo, in many instances.
The internet's reaction is beyond predictable. I figured we wouldn't get much more than this on or around Mar10 Day and it appears I was right. If I'm wrong and they post a Direct on the actual date, you're welcome. Lol
I think Capcom didn't produce a lot of physical copies of RE9 for Switch 2 and it was sold out at the major retailers in Japan, so that partly explains the split. In any case, good showing for the game overall.
Nintendo and Capcom are spoiling us with back to back to back to back releases on Switch 2. I wanted to type it that way because it's true and a little ridiculous. Lol
I think I can still wait on getting 8 and 9 for a discount, separately. Capcom is good about putting its games on discounts. Waiting paid off for MH Rise+ Sunbreak because I paid $15 for that.
Not getting my hopes up for a Switch 2 version because NL will write the inevitable follow-up article it (desperately) wants to stating it's "not coming to Switch 2."
I doubt this scores much higher on Switch 2 than it did on Pushsquare. If anything, I'd assume a 6/10 is likely since performance apparently was an issue on PS5.
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).

Re: Nintendo Remains Tight-Lipped About Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Future
I could see them doing Switch 2 exclusive updates. Or nothing at all. In other words, 🤷♂️.
Re: Shenmue III Enhanced Is Coming To Switch 2, Physical Editions Confirmed
But why, though?
Re: PlayStation Indie Hit 'Kena: Bridge Of Spirits' Is Headed To Switch 2 Next Week
Switch 2 is continuing the trend of having multiple wallet busting weeks in a row.
Re: Silksong's "Last Significant Update" Before DLC Launch Has Been Revealed, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I can't help but think of Alice in Chains when they talk about the DLC's name.
Re: Community: Which Switch 1 Games Benefit Most From Switch 2's New Boost Mode?
@AlonditeFE agreed, this is a good compromise since they likely won't be able to upgrade every game like they have with Pokémon SV, SMO et al.
Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Pokopia's Physical Troubles Continue As It Slips From The Podium
MH Stories 3 did well on NS2. That's good news.
Re: Review: Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun (Switch 2) - A Stealthy Gem That's Both Tough & Approachable
Another great game on Switch 2, keep 'em coming!
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Has "No Plans For Additional DLCs Or Expansions"
Based on the amount of DLC out there now, I figured they were done.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Sales Surpass 2.2 Million Units Globally In First Four Days
It'll be interesting to see how many copies this sells over the course of the month.

Re: "I Need A Union Contract To Feel Safe" - Mega Man 11 Voice Actor Not Returning For Dual Override
Tbh, I can't blame him. Employers treat people as disposable when given the chance and unions are one of the ways to prevent that.

Re: Review: Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (Switch 2) - Another Excellent Monstie Collecting Spin-Off
So about in line with the other games. Can't wait!
Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Pokopia 'Undersupplied' At Retail And Falls Short
That seems to be the case in the U.S. because a lot of retailers are sold out.
Re: Yoshi Popcorn Bucket Announced For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
This is really cool, but Idk if I'll get one. I never do.

Re: Mario Kart World Could Be Getting A Battle Mode Update
Oh, look, a story about a Nintendo game on a Nintendo system. I didn't expect to see that here!
Anyway, don't get your hopes up. While this game will get DLC, the timing just seems so...un-Nintendo.
Re: Japanese Charts: Resident Evil Requiem Scares Off The Competition
I think Capcom didn't produce a lot of physical copies of RE9 for Switch 2 and it was sold out at the major retailers in Japan, so that partly explains the split. In any case, good showing for the game overall.

Nintendo and Capcom are spoiling us with back to back to back to back releases on Switch 2. I wanted to type it that way because it's true and a little ridiculous. Lol
Re: Legacy Of Kain: Defiance Remastered Switch Versions Hit With Last-Minute Delay
They really should have told people sooner that the Switch 2 version would come later than the others. What a crappy thing to do.
Re: PlayStation Indie Hit 'Kena: Bridge Of Spirits' Is Headed To Switch 2 Soon
Nice. PS-only ppl insisted that this game is great, so I'll give it a shot when it comes to Switch 2.
Re: Reminder: Resident Evil's Generation Pack Is Leaving The Switch 2 eShop This Month
I think I can still wait on getting 8 and 9 for a discount, separately. Capcom is good about putting its games on discounts. Waiting paid off for MH Rise+ Sunbreak because I paid $15 for that.
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch 1 & 2 Indie World Game In A New Infographic
The Midnight Walk, Deadzone: Rogue, Mixtape, Moonlighter 2, Rotwood and Denshattack are all games I want.
Ratatan looked really fun, too.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Has Already Sold Over 5 Million Copies
Everyone says it's great, so that helps matters.
Re: Bandai Namco Teases "New RPG" Reveal, Taking Place This Week
Not getting my hopes up for a Switch 2 version because NL will write the inevitable follow-up article it (desperately) wants to stating it's "not coming to Switch 2."
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase March 2026: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
9/10, for me. It had a ton of great NS2 and NS1 games.
Re: Drinkbox Studios' Hades-Inspired Brawler Is Confirmed For The Switch 2
Drink box Studios has some phenomenal games, so color me interested even if isometric games rarely hold me.
And the Indie World was much better than I was expecting, today. There were a lot of games I thought looked exceptional.
Re: Review: Scott Pilgrim EX (Switch 2) - A Gloriously Entertaining, Fan-Service-Filled Retro Brawler
That's magnificent. I'm buying this game.
Re: Denshattack! Is Heading To Switch 2 This June, Demo Available Today
I'll give the demo a shot, because this game reminds me of FLCL.
After giving the demo a shot, I came away impressed. Let's hope the full game turns out well, because it's promising.
Re: Blue Prince's Excellent Mansion Mystery Arrives On Switch 2 Today
I doubt this scores much higher on Switch 2 than it did on Pushsquare. If anything, I'd assume a 6/10 is likely since performance apparently was an issue on PS5.
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?
Either way, these always have at least one game I'm interested in.
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: 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.
