@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!

@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.
I only played TOTK briefly after the upgrade and didn’t see any huge differences to be honest! I do with Odyssey and some others but not so much for TOTK. 🤷♂️
@Reiditandweep Exactly, it’s something new that has a throwback and many nods to the orginals but it would be boring as hell if it were just the same old same old again.
I am waiting until I have enough shopping points so I can get the digital version for between 30-40 Euro. I imagine many more are going digital these days than before.

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. 😬
Re: Kirby Air Riders' City Trial Mode Looks Just As Bonkers As We'd Hoped
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! 😆
Re: Kirby Air Riders' City Trial Mode Looks Just As Bonkers As We'd Hoped
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: Donkey Kong Bananza: Walkthrough
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: Random: Oh Jeez, Now Palworld Has Its Own Rip-Off On The Switch eShop
Grass will be available soon via paid DLC!
Re: Captain Toad Returns In This Week's Nintendo Music Update
I shamefully admit I didn’t get past the first boss stage and gave up!
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??
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Switch 2 Trailer Showcases More New Mouthful Modes
I have zero issues paying for extra content and if it’s meaty enough then the price sounds ok to me.
Re: Switch Is Now Within Touching Distance Of The DS' Lifetime Sales
Nintendo should wait ten years and then randomly announce that Switch 1 sales were roughly 170 million in total but they stopped counting after 155. 😆
Re: Kirby Air Riders Has Been Rated For Switch 2
I wish they would just give us the release dates for this and Metroid already.
Re: Square Enix Wants Feedback About Its New HD-2D Game Coming To Switch 2
It feels like they have about fifty of these games, all very similar to each other as if they have AI creating most of them. :/
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
Less interested now it’s just a partner showcase though.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
Never have I agreed with the tagline more!
Re: NIS Accidentally Reveals Upcoming Switch 2 Game, Sparking Even More Direct Speculation
Doesn’t seem like a Direct is coming this week…
Re: Switch Online's SNES Update Has Apparently Upgraded The CRT Filter
I also cannot see much difference.
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Will "Average" 30fps On Switch
If Switch 2 is genuinely struggling to hit 60fps it’s a bit concerning. Devs should at least implement 40fps though!
Re: Nintendo Schedules Network Maintenance For Thursday
They are preparing to shadow drop Mario Bananza. ☺️
Re: Nintendo's Switch Online Playtest Program Returns, Includes Switch 2 Support
But where is Nate‘s promised Nintendo Direct?! 😢
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Party Jamboree TV?
Never played the game but 16% rating it abysmal must surely be trolls?
Re: Doronko Wanko Trots Onto Switch Today
I am not here to add two letter f to the end of that title at all…. 🤭
Re: Japanese Charts: Donkey Kong Bananza Sells A Bunch, But Can't Beat Mario Kart
I think you mean outsold the PS5….
Re: Zelda: BOTW & TOTK Are "Transformative" On Switch 2, Says Digital Foundry
I only played TOTK briefly after the upgrade and didn’t see any huge differences to be honest! I do with Odyssey and some others but not so much for TOTK. 🤷♂️
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
@Reiditandweep Exactly, it’s something new that has a throwback and many nods to the orginals but it would be boring as hell if it were just the same old same old again.
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
@9_10DOH64 Lol, ok….. 🤦♂️
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
@9_10DOH64 No, there is a whole song in there!
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
@9_10DOH64 That’s not what we were talking about though. You said there is no Music from that game in Bananza, but there is.
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
@9_10DOH64 There is, check again.
Re: UK Charts: Donkey Kong Bananza Is A Hit, But Sells Less Than Half Of Super Mario Odyssey
I am waiting until I have enough shopping points so I can get the digital version for between 30-40 Euro. I imagine many more are going digital these days than before.
Re: ICYMI: Koei Tecmo Has Released A 'Wild Hearts S' Demo On Switch 2
@OorWullie I agree but 90% of thetime I prefer the Switch version!
Re: Video: Switch 2 Vs. Steam Deck System Face-Off, Digital Foundry Investigates
Am also getting sick of these comparisons and why are they always using Hogwarts as the benchmark?!
