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.
@MamaSymphonia Yes, I see your point. My only issue is Nintendo could later claim “oh look, two million bought the game so nobody thinks the price was too high”….when the truth would be “well, many bought the bundle exactly because the price was too high”.
@MamaSymphonia Yes but my point is people are getting the game at a heavy discount. Many of these, myself included, wouldn’t have bought it at full price. So to me those sales are slightly misleading. If someone is remotely interested in MKW then it’s a no-brainer to get it in the bundle.
@WheresWaveRace Fair point. I got the bundle simply because MKW cost me 40 Euro that way. No way I would have paid 90 for it.
But if digital codes aren’t counted then the figures don’t make sense either because if 179 thousand Switch 2 units were sold and almost 145 thousand MKW sales…..why on earth wouldn’t these people just get the bundle? Seems very unlikely that they all wanted a physical copy that badly!
„We weren‘t happy with the frame rates so we have asked our good friends over at FromSoftware to help us out. Unfortunately this will push the release date back a few decades.“
@Anachronism Firstly, it’s Gamescom so news is coming thick and fast and Felix is clearly very busy at the moment.
Secondly, they are not aiming for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Thirdly, the only really bad error is „I were all shuffled…“, which frankly should have been corrected by the editor. Everything else is minor and not worth mentioning. In fact, after watching the video again it’s not even Felix‘s mistake, it’s only in the text.
I was bored for the first 18 minutes and not intending to buy it at all….and then he showed the ocean course and from then on I thought ok I‘m so getting this! 😆
Well, as someone who is rubbish at most games I have used it a lot already as it came out weeks ago in an unfinished form. Helps me find bananas so I can up my skill level.

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"

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: 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.

Re: First Footage Of Elden Ring Running On Switch 2 Appears Online
I expected far worse and hard to tell anyway with this footage. I won‘t be buying but hopefully it will be decent enough once released.

Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Kart World Gets Back To Demolishing The Competition
MKW numbers are misleading though because most of those sales could be from the bundle.
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Kart World Gets Back To Demolishing The Competition
10 thousand over TWO weeks for PS5 is terrible! Switch 2 doing great and Switch 1 combo doing well still too!
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Finally Has A Release Date
It didn’t say which year though…. 😉

„We weren‘t happy with the frame rates so we have asked our good friends over at FromSoftware to help us out. Unfortunately this will push the release date back a few decades.“
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong "Special Announcement" Is Coming Today
I genuinely think it will be released today! Not for me unfortunately, tried the other one, was beautiful but too hard for me!

Re: Preview: Sakurai's Kirby Air Riders Is A Kaleidoscopic Adrenaline Rush
@The_Nintend_Pedant The game isn’t even out yet so how do you know what it’s worth? You haven’t seen it all.
Re: Gallery: Get A Closer Look At Nintendo's Gamescom 2025 Booth
@Pillowpants I had to put him on ignore a long time ago…
Re: Gallery: Get A Closer Look At Nintendo's Gamescom 2025 Booth
It’s a bit lame if they have a stand there for MP4 and only show the tiny trailer we have all already seen. 🤨
Re: Gallery: Get A Closer Look At Nintendo's Gamescom 2025 Booth
I thought there was an article on here recently that said MP4 would also be playable there?
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
8 but would have been a 9 if it had been 20 or 30 minutes long instead of 45! I found the first 18 minutes very underwhelming.
Re: Kirby Air Riders' City Trial Mode Looks Just As Bonkers As We'd Hoped
He said he has more to show next time…..that will be a 90 minute presentation. 😬

What the heck was that final footage??
Re: Geoff Keighley Either Knows Something About Silksong, Or Is Just Being A Tool
Don’t like the curtains!
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct Revealed for Tomorrow, 19th August 2025
Seems strange though to have another big racing game right after Mario Kart World. 🤷♂️
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct Revealed for Tomorrow, 19th August 2025
Joining the 45 minutes?!?! gang.
Maybe they’ll drop the game right after!
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Drag x Drive?
Pretty sure the abysmal comments are from people who don‘t have or never played the game…

Re: Captain Toad Returns In This Week's Nintendo Music Update

Re: Japanese Charts: Sega's Latest 'Demon Slayer' Kicks Mario Kart World Into Second
DKB suddenly sold the exact same amount as MKW….. 🤦♂️
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
I don’t understand, if they have bought the games why are they not allowed to stream??
