p.s. for me Link‘s Awakening is miles better than echoes of wisdom but I prefer linearity and don’t find the game too difficult at all and I am rubbish at games.
@Coffee-Waffle to be fair, I didn’t think animal crossing looked any different the first time I played but on the second go I could see the visual improvements quite clearly, even though they are nothing stunning by any means.
All this whining about wanting new games…..have some patience, the console hasn’t been out a year yet! And stop complaining about it in a thread that talks about free updates.
I think the price increase from Nintendo for games certainly hasn’t helped either. I am much more selective now about which games I buy because 70 Euro and in some cases 80 or more is just too much. Games I would have taken a chance on before I don’t bother with now.

Re: Video: Resident Evil Requiem Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2 & PS5)
Yeah, expectedly better on PS5 but nonetheless looks great on Switch 2 and shows what can be achieved in the right hands.
Just wish they could fix the hair, it’s a problem in most games using DLSS.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Leakers Deserve "A Thousand Deaths", Says Hideki Kamiya
@johnedwin typical answer from this generation.
His statement is a bit extreme but absolutely no reason for him to lose his livelihood!

Game Key Card so not buying… 🤭
Re: Japanese Charts: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Blows The Competition Out Of The Water
It seems these weekly charts are full of mistakes. Come on Nintendolife!
Re: Mario Tennis Fever Takes To The Court With A Small Day One Game Update
@andykara2003 That person doesn’t even have a Switch 2 so why he constantly complains about Switch 2 games or key cards etc. is beyond me.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Switch 2's New Joy-Con Set Is Out This Week
What a waste of money.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
Unfortunately it’s gone from a day one buy to a „need a demo!“
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
@PJOReilly Thanks and are they full sets though or first to three games?
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
I only skimmed through but can a single player play three and five set matches as in real tennis??

Re: Video: Pragmata Demo Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch 2, Xbox Series S, PS5)
Shocker, looks best on more powerful PS5.
Switch 2 looks slightly better than Series S though to my eyes and that‘s good enough for me.
Re: PSA: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Switch 2 Trial Demo Now Available, Save Data Carries Over
@PtM It certainly doesn’t but when you look at certain posters history and see that they post 99% negative stuff on here…
Re: PSA: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Switch 2 Trial Demo Now Available, Save Data Carries Over
I sometimes wonder why some people here even bought a Switch or Switch 2….
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream For Switch?
Definitely not for me.

Re: Video: Nintendo Highlights Enhanced Switch Games On Switch 2
I love these free updates and they do bring me back to games I haven’t touched for a while. I wish Yoshi‘s crafted world would get an update too.
Re: Video: Nintendo Highlights Enhanced Switch Games On Switch 2
@Coffee-Waffle to be fair, I didn’t think animal crossing looked any different the first time I played but on the second go I could see the visual improvements quite clearly, even though they are nothing stunning by any means.
Re: Video: Nintendo Highlights Enhanced Switch Games On Switch 2
@Angotic I am the same haha, but I always find a yt video to help me if I get stuck for too long.
I got echoes of wisdom on day one but barely played it on Switch 1. Will go back to it once I finish Link‘s Awakening.

Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Cheap Upgrade, But Lacking Substance
Haven’t spent much time with it yet but I also couldn’t really tell the difference in resolution, even on the 4K tv, very disappointing.
Re: Nintendo's Investors Are Reportedly "Spooked" As Stock Slides
Well I mean they could at least be offering Switch 1 with a heavy discount by now…same for the Lite version.
Re: Mario Tennis Fever Officially Reveals amiibo Functionality And Every amiibo Supported
Amiibo seem like such a waste of money to me. 🤷♂️
Re: Mario Tennis On Switch 2 Has 38 Playable Characters – "The Most In Series History"
This will probably be my next purchase.
Such a shame we are not getting 379 players though!

Re: Feature: Games Of The Year 2025 - Nintendo Life Staff Picks
Reading this I have to wonder why MKW got a 9 but Kirby Air Riders only an 8?
Re: Square Enix's HD-2D Series 'Octopath Traveler' Hits Another Sales Milestone
Played the demo and don’t get what all the fuss is about with these games! A 9/10?!
Re: Japanese Charts: Sorry Samus, Octopath Is The Best-Selling New Release This Week

Fantastic sales for Switch 2
Re: Mini Review: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Now A Legit Contender For Mario's Karting Crown
@JohnnyMind May I ask how old you are? You seem to play almost every game there is judging by how you are in almost every thread. 🤔
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?
@Bootlicker333 I think an 8 year old would make a comment like that… 🧐
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th December)
What am I playing this weekend? The Fool.
Re: Talking Point: Six Months Since Launch, How Would You Rate Switch 2?
I wish we would have gotten Tennis Fever and the new Yoshi this year already but otherwise no real complaints.
Re: Digital Foundry Delivers A Tech Analysis Of Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2
Little bit disappointed it’s not quite as good as Series S though.
Re: Review: Octopath Traveler 0 (Switch 2) - A Bit Of A Retread, But Unmissable (And Enormous)
Don’t get how these types of games get a 9 and Metroid only got 8. Enix just keeps on churning out the same game over and over again. 🤔
Re: Anniversary: Monolith Soft Celebrates Xenoblade Chronicles 2 With A Post, But We're Desperate For A Switch 2 Revamp
Sadly am beginning to doubt we will get any games that run at 4K and 60fps unless they are very simple ones!
Re: "A Very Polished Experience" - Digital Foundry Checks Out Kirby Air Riders
@Jack_Goetz to be honest it amazes me that people still don’t have a 4K tv yet in 2025. 🤷♂️
Re: "A Very Polished Experience" - Digital Foundry Checks Out Kirby Air Riders
Mostly very positive stuff. Will get this at some point.
Re: Best Kirby Games Of All Time
4/10 for Kirby Pinball is a crying shame. Loved that game.
Re: Japanese Charts: Konami Rolls Another Smash Hit With Its Momotaro Dentetsu Board Game Sequel
@Maxz Yes, fair enough. To be clear I am not campaigning for anyone to be banned though, it’s just this one weekly post that drives me nuts.
Every single week it’s „PS5 sales doing good, number 4, number 5, number 6“. They don’t even post on the Playstation site as far as I can see.

Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
@Jack_Goetz Haha yeah, I personally feel the writer of this article could play this character! 🤭
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment: Walkthrough Guide, Tips & Tricks
Why?! WHY?! 🙄
The game just came out today!
Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists
@Serpenterror “all they had to do was make it more powerful than the Switch” …….they did.
And just because you think it’s garbage also doesn’t mean it is.
Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists
They could at least drop the price of the OLED version and I would consider one for my travels.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment In-Store Demos Now Available (North America)
The music sounds good.
Re: Surprise! Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Arrives Next Year
@AmplifyMJ They are probably waiting for it to come out on PS5…
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
No, price too high for what it is. May cave in and get the first one at some point though.
Re: Animal Crossing-Inspired Life Sim For Switch 2 Looks Pretty Amazing
Probably Playstation footage unfortunately!
Re: Preview: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Combat Shines Brightly, But Its Visuals Are Still Dull
It looks so dated visually.
