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.
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: 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: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 6 Pokémon?

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.
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.
