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.
I think I bought one Amiibo in my life and now it will forever remain that way. Whatever happened to reducing the amount of plastic waste in our environment….
@Max_the_German why are you and others so against having other options available? If you want the challenge then stick to the main setting, it doesn’t hurt you if others choose to play an easy option.
How about waiting to judge games once they’re released instead of all these negative articles about how poor the Switch 2 is…this is my go-to site for Nintendo news but it’s getting tiresome reading about fps all the time.
I hate it when a game is really hard and there is no option to choose an easy mode. I feel like I have wasted my money if I end up seeing barely a third of the game because I can’t progress any further.

Haven’t seen the console sales charts on here yet? Been available since a few days on other sites.

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?!

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.
Re: The Superb 'Mario Galaxy 2' Soundtrack Has Been Added To Nintendo Music
@JCLKaytwo Cloudy Court Galaxy is a wannabe Gusty Garden, just doesn’t have the same oomph! Gusty is perfection.
Cosmic Cove Galaxy sounds nice. I may have to mix the two and make a playlist.
Re: The Superb 'Mario Galaxy 2' Soundtrack Has Been Added To Nintendo Music
@NintendoWife I stream from the iPad to the Sonos speakers, sounds great!
Re: The Superb 'Mario Galaxy 2' Soundtrack Has Been Added To Nintendo Music
Nah, Galaxy 1 soundtrack is miles better! Nothing beats Gusty Garden Galaxy!
Luma! Space Junk Road! Good Egg Galaxy! Overture! Beach Bowl Galaxy! Gateway Galaxy! All absolute gems!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
70 Euro for both is too much. May get the first one but probably not.
Re: Nintendo Releasing Physical 'Talking Flower' From Mario Wonder Next Spring
Watch it be 99 dollars lol.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Been Updated To Version 2.0.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Can one use the dlc to quickly get more chips to buy bananas and therefore increase skill levels in the main game?
Re: New Kirby amiibo Will Apparently Be Nintendo's "Most Expensive amiibo Ever"
I think I bought one Amiibo in my life and now it will forever remain that way. Whatever happened to reducing the amount of plastic waste in our environment….
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
I may have been tempted if it came with Official Soundtrack CDs.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct September Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
@Trewman360 I agree but I feel we will get more info whether we want it or not. 😬
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct September Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
It will be:
Metroid Prime releasing very soon.
More Kirby Riders footage….
Donkey Kong film news.
Hyrule Warriors info.
Splatoon Raiders info.
One final thing: a sneak peak at a new Mario, AC or Yoshi game.
Re: Talking Point: Is Hollow Knight: Silksong Too Difficult?
@Max_the_German why are you and others so against having other options available? If you want the challenge then stick to the main setting, it doesn’t hurt you if others choose to play an easy option.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong's Upcoming Patch Will Nerf The Difficulty In Certain Areas
I really don’t understand why they don’t just add an easy mode. I would buy it if it had one.
Re: Video: We've Played Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2 - Here's 16 Minutes Of Gameplay
So Nintendolife, instead of jumping on the negativity bandwagon with everyone else, just wait until you have the game in your hands!
Re: FC 26 On Switch 2 "On Parity, Basically" With PS5, According To EA Sports Dev
How about waiting to judge games once they’re released instead of all these negative articles about how poor the Switch 2 is…this is my go-to site for Nintendo news but it’s getting tiresome reading about fps all the time.
Re: Word Game Showcased In Japan's 'Indie World' Is Coming To The West
Let’s hope it can keep a stable 30fps! 🤭
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch And Switch 2 Hardware Are Both Crushing The Competition
@Jhena Oh I see, I had 70k in my head for some reason lol
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch And Switch 2 Hardware Are Both Crushing The Competition
@Jhena it isn’t, last week’s numbers were for two weeks.
Re: Square Enix Confirms Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Runs At A "Stable" 30fps On Switch 2
I don’t really care much about frame rates but even I think Switch 2 games should at least be reaching 40fps!
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Is Selling Like Bananas On Switch 2 (US)
In the words of a wise ape, Oh banana!
Re: Review: Kirby And The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World - Kirby's Best Shines Even Brighter
I didn’t get too far on the Switch 1 version so will probably start again from the beginning.
Re: Review: Kirby And The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World - Kirby's Best Shines Even Brighter
@The_Nintendo_Pedant The Switch 2 has only been out a few months, why such pessimism already? There will be plenty of new games in the coming years.
Re: Mario Kart World Wins "Best Nintendo Switch 2 Game" Of Gamescom 2025
Eh, how can this article say MKW beat Metroid Prime 4 when it’s not even out yet? 🤔
Re: Round Up: The Final Previews Are In For Hollow Knight: Silksong
I hate it when a game is really hard and there is no option to choose an easy mode. I feel like I have wasted my money if I end up seeing barely a third of the game because I can’t progress any further.
