Yeah, I will stick with full games on the cartridge. This way, even if I move to a russian village in Siberia, I can still play it, without worrying about the internet speed. Of course, this is not the only reason for me.
Canon is not the problem. I am not interested in the lore of both games. The strengths of the games were the adventuring, the beauty of the world and the atmosphere. Age of Calamity was not like that and it did not feel peaceful and relaxing, at least not during the gameplay. Instead it felt kinda dark and depressing.
Also , even after playing Echoes of Wisdom, a game which I enjoyed, I do not want to play a Zelda game, in which Link is not the main character anymore.
@N00BiSH Wow, I did not realise how much better Donkey Kong's new expressions are, until I saw your post. I am convinced now, that changing his design was the right call. Seriously, thank you for showing it.
I agree, both games feel like must-plays to me. Open world Mario Kart and a new Donkey Kong, 3D even, probably made by the Mario Odyssey team, is more than enough to convince me.
The German shops Saturn and MediaMarkt still have the Switch 2 available. I did not expect, that they would be available for so long.
I got an e-mail from Amazon. It says, that my request to buy a Switch 2 failed, but it also says, that invitations are no longer needed. It is first come, first served again.
I have the Gamecube and Wii U versions of Windwaker and I am happy with those. I am glad that Windwaker will be added to NSO, so more people can play one of Zelda's finest adventure.
It reminds me of the time, when Nintendo Life started to use the colour red. My first reaction was, that it looked too aggresive but after a little while, I loved it. It really accentuates colours. And Nintendo is simply not Nintendo without colours. I love the new look.
Planet Zoo is an interesting game. I am in level 5 now, a safari themed level. I love this theme and I hope, that one day I can create beautiful parks like the developers.
Of course Sakurai-San, just take your time, so you can create something awesome like Smash Bros. Ultimate. I wish you and your team the best for this project!
Drab x Dry was the game, which made me loose trust in Nintendo during the presentation. I was thinking " I hope this was not developed by Nintendo", more than a few times during the presentation.
It just feels and looks lifeless and depressing, which is the opossite of what I love about Nintendo. And it also feels insulting to me, no matter, whether you have a disability like that or not. I do not want to play a character like that and it seems like they are robots, as if they try to portray people like that as not human. Feels like a game for no one, trolling everyone.
While playing Switch on the sofa, I often had a craving to play retro PC games on the sofa. But of course I could not find a comfortable solution. I did not even want to buy a laptop. This feels like Nintendo found the solution.
@lovesushi Thanks! I was checking my spam folder a few hours ago. Seems like Nintendo does not like me anymore. Oh well, hopefully Saturn will deliver it day one.
Nah, thanks, this is not for me. I would not want to be in a situation like this in real-life, why would I want to play a game about it. The colours, style and environments feel depressing too, especially for a Nintendo game.

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Donkey Kong Bananza Are In
Sounds very promising. I am looking forward to the big maps and meeting Cranky Kong. The Treehouse gameplay looked fun.
Re: Random: Nintendo Nearly Parked Mario Kart: Double Dash's Dual-Driver Hook
Toad and Toadette driving together is just too cute. I am glad they decided to put two characters on a kart.
Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
As a console gamer, who owns a PlayStation 5, I do not really get a good deal, in terms of power.
Even so, I just want to play the exclusives, so in that regard my money should be well spent.
Re: Splatoon 3's Latest Seasonal Splatfest Kicks Off This Weekend
I feel like playing a few rounds. My vote goes to Team Morning.
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
Yeah, I will stick with full games on the cartridge. This way, even if I move to a russian village in Siberia, I can still play it, without worrying about the internet speed. Of course, this is not the only reason for me.
Re: Nintendo: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Is A "Canonical Tale"
@Olmectron
Of course, I just wanted to say, why I am not interested in these spin-off games.
Still I enjoyed Hyrule Warriors.

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Mario Kart World Are In
Everything feels livelier and more welcoming? This is music to my ears.
I got everything pre-ordered, so I am already convinced. Even so, it is nice to hear the positivity and optimism towards World.

Definitely a pretty good start.

@jfp
Thanks for the extra info about Otto. I am also glad, that it was so easily available.

Anyway I hope everyone can get one!
Re: Konami Appears To Be Releasing Suikoden I & II HD Remaster On Switch 2
I will not support this.
Re: Switch 2 Game-Key Cards Aren't Tied To Nintendo Accounts
I will stick to cartridges with full games on the cart.
Re: Nintendo Won't Reveal Donkey Kong's Switch 2 Dev, But We Might Already Know
The treehouse gameplay was really good. Whoever is involved, is a top tier developer.
Re: The Switch 2 Won't Have Achievements Or eShop Music
Trophies can be a nice bonus and I enjoy going for the platinum trophy sometimes, even so I am fine with Nintendo's decision. I just want to play.
Re: Nintendo Confirms US Price For 'Switch 2 Welcome Tour'
I do not feel negative about it anymore, but I also do not plan to buy it, even though I think that it is interesting.
Re: It's Official, Switch 2 Joy-Con Will Not Feature Hall Effect Sticks
Trying the new controllers will be fun. Especially the improved rumble and mouse function, are features, which I am looking forward too.
Re: Opinion: A Few Too Many Questions & Unwelcome Surprises Are Taking The Shine Off The Switch 2 Reveal
I already pre-ordered the Switch 2 and the physical version of Mario Kart World. It will be a great time and I am looking forward to it.
I am sure, that all the questions, which I still have, will be answered in due time. I am counting on you NintendoLife to help with those questions.
Re: 'Switch 2 Editions' Are Supposedly A Switch Game Card And Download Code For The Upgrade Pack
@Spider-Kev
The article has been updated. NintendoLife contacted Nintendo, so hopefully we will soon know more.
Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?
I have the Gamecube and Wii U versions of Windwaker and I am happy with those. I am glad that Windwaker will be added to NSO, so more people can play one of Zelda's finest adventure.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Nintendo Switch 2 Special
World and Bananza are winners. I went with World because it looks more friendly.

Please keep us updated, if you find out more about this, NintendoLife.
Re: Video: Street Fighter 6 Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2 & PlayStation 5)
When it comes to multiplatform games, I will stick to the PlayStation 5 version, but this is impressive nonetheless.
Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Given Its Game Cases A Makeover On Switch 2
It reminds me of the time, when Nintendo Life started to use the colour red. My first reaction was, that it looked too aggresive but after a little while, I loved it. It really accentuates colours. And Nintendo is simply not Nintendo without colours. I love the new look.
Re: Opinion: Oh No, I'm Not A Fan Of Switch 2's Mouse Mode At All
@-wc-
Yep, considering how many remakes/ remasters we get, I think it is quite likely, that we will get some older PC games too.
Re: Community: Which Switch 2 Games Are You Wishlisting?
Fast Fusion releases so early? Nice. My two most wanted games are World and Bananza.
I think Z-A, Metroid and Air Riders will be pretty good too.
Re: Opinion: Oh No, I'm Not A Fan Of Switch 2's Mouse Mode At All
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am very curious how much I will like it, especially in a game like Metroid.
One of my hopes for this feature is, being able to play retro PC games on the Switch 2.
Re: Random: Bowser's Peach Wallpaper And More Updated In New Switch 2 Parental Controls Video
"It's good to play games", I agree. Pretty cool animation. I love Bowser, when he is in Daddy mode. Thankfully Bowser Jr. can play a little longer.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th April)
Planet Zoo is an interesting game. I am in level 5 now, a safari themed level. I love this theme and I hope, that one day I can create beautiful parks like the developers.
Happy gaming everyone!
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations "Coming Soon" To Switch 2, Here's A First Look
Great game. An upgrade for those who purchased the Switch 1 version would be nice.
Re: Konami Appears To Be Releasing Suikoden I & II HD Remaster On Switch 2
I had alot of fun with them. Hope everyone playing this will enjoy it too.
Re: Video: Mario Kart World And Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison
I love the animations and expressions in World. 8 Deluxe still is a beautiful game. The grinding on rails seems interesting.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Provides Brief Development Update On His New Switch 2 Game
Of course Sakurai-San, just take your time, so you can create something awesome like Smash Bros. Ultimate. I wish you and your team the best for this project!
Re: Mario Kart World: Course List - Every Confirmed Track
During the last Treehouse race today, I could really feel the fun. I love the cow, World will be awesome.
Re: Opinion: No One Is Talking About The Switch 2's Best Feature
The rumble in the PlayStation 5 games of Astro enhanced the game so much, that I keep it turned on now.
Really excited for the rumble in Bananza and World.
Re: Hands On: 'Drag x Drive' Is Fantastic, But Is It Destined To Be Switch 2's ARMS?

Re: Nvidia: Switch 2 Has "10x The Graphics Performance Of The Nintendo Switch"
Performance mode is my friend.
Re: Mario Kart World's Character Select Screen Teases Absolutely Huge Roster
I am a simple gamer, who is happy and content with the classic characters. Everything else is a nice bonus.
Re: Fast Fusion Brings Everyone's Favourite WipEout Rival To Switch 2
Probably a must have.
Re: Please Make Sure You're Wearing Trousers When Using Switch 2's Mouse Controls
While playing Switch on the sofa, I often had a craving to play retro PC games on the sofa. But of course I could not find a comfortable solution. I did not even want to buy a laptop. This feels like Nintendo found the solution.
Re: Gallery: Get A Closer Look At Mario Kart World In These Fresh Switch 2 Screenshots
Looks lovely. I love the expressions of the characters. Exploring will be fun.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
@Arkham24601
Thank you. Now I do not feel alone anymore.
Re: Hands On: Mario Kart World Brings The Utter Chaos In Knockout Mode
I feel like I will love it. The only thing, which I do not really like is that most screens I saw look like it is foggy everywhere.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
For those living in Germany, you can pre-order from Saturn. I just did.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed
Yeah, after playing Astro's Playroom, paying for this would make me feel, like I got a big tattoo saying "consumer".
Re: ICYMI: Nintendo Is Hosting Another Direct Later This Month
It will be interesting to find all the secrets and I am very curious to find out, how the open world formula suits Mario Kart.
Re: Oops, Yoshi's Woolly World Featured In Switch 2's "Compatible Switch Games"
Yoshi is always welcome.
I am really excited for a new Yoshi game. Crafted World is a great Yoshi game. It is one of the Switch games, which I beat more than three times.
Re: Drag x Drive Is Nintendo's Switch 2 'Mouse Mode' Showcase, Puts The Rocket League Into Wheelchair Basketball
Nah, thanks, this is not for me. I would not want to be in a situation like this in real-life, why would I want to play a game about it. The colours, style and environments feel depressing too, especially for a Nintendo game.
