@BringleWorkshop It is interesting to see that your kids are into retro games. I guess classics remain classics. Wish you a great gaming time with them!
These are great numbers and the Switch 2 is still available in Germany. Nintendo is doing the launch right. Mario Kart World is a lot of fun and I like the console. Keep going Nintendo!
This is great news, especially since I do not have NSO anymore and I do not want to renew it. Now I do not have to say goodbye to Splatoon, thanks Nintendo!
@Princess_Lilly Internet. But I was in the retail shop of Saturn today and one of the workers there told me, if I want to buy Switch 2 games or a Switch 2, I have to go to the cash desk, so I think it is available. I wanted to check out Switch 2 games, but everything was at the cash desk, or rather behind it, so I lost interest and left. I will try to check out a bigger Saturn shop next time, to see whether it is the same there.
Of course everyone can have a different experience with stuff like this.
Nice. And the console is easily available in Germany right now. Sounds like Nintendo was not joking around, when they said that they will produce a lot of them.
Yesterday I realised that I really like the feel and look of Switch 1 cartridges. It was kinda funny, like I just now after eight years, realised that they exist. I should like the Switch 2 cartridges and gamecases too.
@Mariotag
Yeah, I love Digimon too. Using AI to make a Digimon partner is something my younger self would love. Why would it be a danger to the multiverse's safety?
I will buy games for the Switch 2, if the games are fully on the cartridge. Thank you, to every company selling full physical game releases, for respecting customers like me.
Cool screenshots. It is good to hear that they are giving their all. This series never misses to touch my heart, so I am very much looking forward to it. Please take your time, I will be patient.
If this will be the name, then I think it is a pretty good choice, especially since I love the game. All I hope to get out of this movie is heartwarming entertainment.
@mlt
Yeah, that would be awesome. But for now, I am more than happy
to play my GameCube version in single player mode. Of course playing this game with three friends would be a dream come true.
Whenever Burt loses a race he also loses his pants and blushes with shame, because we have to keep it classic. Why not give Yoshi his special forms like helicopter and train? Sonic could make an appearance too.
Japanese beautiful cover looks like a lot of fun. If I had this on my shelves, I would have trouble resisting playing a round or two, whenever I took a look at it. The other two are also quite nice.
Probably a few rounds of Splatoon 3 and Wave Race Blue Storm. I had such a good time with Wave Race 64 yesterday, that I have to play the sequel again.
@Yoshi3 Nintendo artists are so selfless and dedicated to Nintendo, that they give everything they produce to Nintendo, even the rights of the art they produce. Well, I tried to see it in a positive light.
@BTB20 Thank you for the extra info. I will be more careful with statistics in the future. Just found another site, Gamasutra, they say the Switch sold almost 18 million units in its first year.
@BTB20 I just googled " Nintendo Switch first year sales", and according to statista.com it was 13,12 million. The short text I read did not say whether it is sell through or shipped though.
@citizenerased
Please look again at the graphical difference and the detail to realism between shooting and hitting someone in Gta V and stomping a Goomba in a Mario game. The violence in Mario games is so cartoony, that I do not even believe that you kill Goombas. It is actually scary if you can not see and feel the difference.
@jfp I know exactly how you feel. I wanted to add, "when will they start to make games for grown ups?", to my first comment, but then decided against it.
GTA VI may be very detailed and realistic, but I am not interested in a sociopath simulator. There is enough violence and illness in this world as is, I will not choose to let me be entertained by it.
@KingMike
I will pay the coins I owe like a good citizen and I will only play games like Yoshi's Island like a good boy. Mario will not even see me picking my nose.
I will be missing the release by a few days, because I will be visiting my home country. I am really excited for the good stuff, like World and Bananza. Until then, I am reliving my childhood with retro games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th June)
I will try to get three stars in the 150ccm Grand Prix Mode of Mario Kart World. It should be possible with a little bit of luck.
It is fun.
Happy gaming everyone!

A great launch title really. The more I play, the better it gets.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (7th June)
Back from Russia, I am about to start Mario Kart World today. A new game and a new console, exciting!
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: F-Zero X
If you can read this comment you're not playing F-Zero X.
Japan's cover is so cool. Really, this is how game covers should be.
Re: Nintendo: "Appetite" For Mario Kart And Series' Accessibility Makes It Ideal For Switch 2's Launch
It is a great launch title and I have been waiting for a fresh Mario Kart experience. I think I will enjoy it a lot.
Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With AI Darth Vader Voice, And Of Course It's Been Swearing
@Mariotag
You are right, real Digimon would be a danger to us all. But having a great friend and a big adventure would easily be worth it.
Re: Here's A Look At The Size And Inside Of Switch 2 Game Cases
Yesterday I realised that I really like the feel and look of Switch 1 cartridges. It was kinda funny, like I just now after eight years, realised that they exist. I should like the Switch 2 cartridges and gamecases too.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (17th May)
I will be playing one of the best Zeldas, The Wind Waker. Saved Aril yesterday.
Happy gaming everyone!

Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With AI Darth Vader Voice, And Of Course It's Been Swearing
We need good-hearted Digimon, to guide kids, so they can become great and responsible human beings.
Re: Micro Machines-Inspired Arcade Racer Sets Its Sights On Switch 2 Launch
I want to try Micro Machines, seems fun.
Re: Nintendo: "Physical Games Are Still A Key Part Of Our Business"
I will buy games for the Switch 2, if the games are fully on the cartridge. Thank you, to every company selling full physical game releases, for respecting customers like me.
Re: Nintendo Unveils Diddy Kong's Brand New Design
I like it. It looks softer and more friendly, also a little bit more energetic.
Re: Kingdom Hearts 4 Team Provides Dev Update, Shares New Screenshots
Cool screenshots. It is good to hear that they are giving their all. This series never misses to touch my heart, so I am very much looking forward to it. Please take your time, I will be patient.
Re: Square Enix Details Plan To 'Reboot And Awaken' Its Business
I hope Square Enix can find its way back. The Dragon Quest III remake and Visions of Mana are quality games for a simple gamer like me.
Re: Super Mario World Looks To Be The Official Name Of The Next Mario Movie
If this will be the name, then I think it is a pretty good choice, especially since I love the game. All I hope to get out of this movie is heartwarming entertainment.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Excited At All For Switch 2 GameChat?
I would love to play with real friends in the same room, on one console.

Re: Video: 10 GameCube Games We Want On Switch 2's Online Expansion Pack
@Anti-Matter
Yes, but it is not the same version and it does not have local co-op.
Re: Video: 10 GameCube Games We Want On Switch 2's Online Expansion Pack
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is one my favourites.
Re: Back Page: Mario Kart World's Roster Is Full Of Deep Cuts, So Where Are These Guys?
Whenever Burt loses a race he also loses his pants and blushes with shame, because we have to keep it classic. Why not give Yoshi his special forms like helicopter and train? Sonic could make an appearance too.

Re: Here's A Look At The Back Of Mario Kart World's Switch 2 Box Art
Nice, it makes me glad that I pre-ordered the physical version. If most games will be beauties like this, collecting them will be fun.
Re: Nintendo Says AI-Generated Images "Were Not Used" In Mario Kart World
@Yoshi3
Thankfully, only the art, which they produce for their employer and ip related stuff.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (10th May)
Probably a few rounds of Splatoon 3 and Wave Race Blue Storm. I had such a good time with Wave Race 64 yesterday, that I have to play the sequel again.
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Nintendo Says AI-Generated Images "Were Not Used" In Mario Kart World

Thankfully, simple dedication is more than enough.
Re: Video: Nintendo Kicks-Off Switch 2's Marketing Campaign Down Under
I like it. Playing together with your homies feels wholesome.

Re: Nintendo Says AI-Generated Images "Were Not Used" In Mario Kart World
Knowing that Nintendo supports its artists, makes me want to support Nintendo. I am looking forward to see all the different billboards.
Re: Yuji Horii Acknowledges Chrono Trigger Remake Requests, Says He's Starting To Contemplate It
Even just a simple remaster for current devices would make me happy. I am sure that Dragon Quest I+II will be great.
Re: Nintendo Expects To Sell 15 Million Switch 2 Consoles This Financial Year
@BTB20
Nice, thank you. So Nintendo expects a little bit more succes than the Switch 1 had, since the financial year is not a complete year, right?

I enjoyed my time in Scarlet and I have high hopes for Z-A.
Re: Nintendo Appoints Doll Company Executive As A New Outside Director
Here is to fruitful endeavours Hachiya-San!
A new Star Fox and Pilotwings would be awesome. I would also love to play a VR version of Animal Crossing, so I could pet the villagers.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Switch 2 Games
These are more than enough good games for me. It should be a great year.
Re: Nintendo Expects To Sell 15 Million Switch 2 Consoles This Financial Year
The Switch 1 sold 13.12 million in its first year. Selling 15 million would be awesome.

Big Brother Mario is watching you.
Thankfully, I did not want to use it anyway.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Tells Studios "Do Not Underestimate The Physical Edition"
Having respect for each other is important. I would buy a copy, if I would play grown up games.
