11/12 (misclicked the name of the Yoshi enemy) in 01:58 so for now 1st out of 13 and on top of the leaderboard - great quiz as usual!

The AI smoothing is certainly no improvement, but are we seriously pretending that the original shot wasn't bad in the first place (unlike the graphics in the Front Mission 3 Remake compared to the originals for example)?

"What the heck?!" (as Wolf would say) was my reaction as well when I heard about that theory the first time - anyway, nice that Kit got to see Miyamoto-san's reaction to it!

Wouldn't be surprised if that happened and I also hope so for its creators and those interested in this (and also potential future movies) - me included of course, so looking forward to watching it tomorrow!

Nice collab for such an occasion (happy 20th anniversary IKEA Japan) - will definitely check out the in-game part of it myself and happy for those in Japan going for the rest of it!

Again, I'll believe it when I see it as Robobot on Switch hasn't happened yet (him being right about Direct dates doesn't mean he's right also about other things) - in fact, in the meantime I've found a post mentioning several other things Nate the Hate got wrong throughout the years...

And here it is, love to see Bob-omb Blast added to World as the Battle mode was objectively lacking (although again, only Double Dash and 8 Deluxe have more than two modes, all the other games have that amount if not less) and the other fixes/adjustments are welcome as well - looking forward to seeing what they'll add next and in the meantime playing more of World in general, count me among the mostly silent majority that overall likes or even loves this game as shown by how much it keeps on selling and how many still play it like others here have luckily already mentioned!

I'm not surprised to see a smaller update after the big one last week in occasion of the Switch 2 Edition of Wonder (and even more so since that came out on Thursday instead of the usual Tuesday) and honestly considering that there's no way this wouldn't have happened at some point it makes more sense for it to be now considering the abovementioned - regardless, glad to see the constant updates to Nintendo Music continue!

Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us in occasion of the 35th anniversary - really hope some games will be included, too (of course I'd gladly take new ones, but I wish we also got more rereleases be it as collections and/or on NSO, so many Sonic games still missing on modern platforms in general and especially Switch 1 and 2)!

Yep, bought a ticket yesterday so I'm going to the cinema on opening day - absolutely can't wait for it!

@molkom You're welcome and yep, same for me!

Great selection of Miis, can't wait to see what other ones people will create - also to then recreate them myself, while unfortunately actual sharing is limited to local communication there's already a site where people share their Miis including the features used for them!

Always cool to see classic games come back and even more so since this looks great - happy for those going for it (potentially me included, but we'll see)!

Fingers crossed it will be well implemented (including it being a toggleable option as already mentioned here etc.) if confirmed, but on paper this is great - while I don't play GO anymore myself I'm looking forward to hearing more about this and I hope for the best for those who still do!

Wish her a swift recovery and good luck to everyone involved for the rest of the production - looking forward to seeing and hearing how this series ends up being (and hopefully in the meantime I'll finally start playing the games myself although apart from me being busy with other games as usual I'm now waiting for the bugs to be fixed)!

Love to see Wonder back to the top 10 in occasion of the Switch 2 Edition - of course most sales are of that version, but interesting to hear that it's almost two thirds!
Also personally happy for World in 2nd, Requiem in 3rd, Nioh 3 back to the charts in 4th (fingers crossed it comes also to Switch 2 after its timed PS5 console exclusiveness), Crimson Desert in 5th (hope they'll be able to port it), Pokopia still in 6th, CrossWorlds back in 7th in occasion of the Switch 2 version but mostly thanks to Switch sales, Legends Z-A in 10th, Life is Strange Reunion debuting in 11th, Hogwarts Legacy back to the charts in 12th, WWE 2K26 in 13th, New Horizons in 17th, Bananza in 19th etc.!

So the first major event is actually happening two months after the release of Champions - anyway, hope those taking part in that and future events will enjoy using Champions for them!

Nice that they released such a comparison officially and overall the Switch 2 version looks great (appreciated seeing mouse support along with the expected resolution, performance etc. increases) - happy for those interested in playing it!

Most likely the majority of these didn't get a single vote just because people preferred their final evolutions (or pre-evolved forms in rare cases, but the reason is the same) - that said, still surprised to see here Pokémon like Anorith, Lampent, Machop etc. here and I'm definitely voting for those at least in this poll!

Europe/Japan for me, having Ryu and Kyo on opposite sides in the background (in addition to Haohmaru in the center) gives a better idea of this being a Capcom vs. SNK title - also a fan of the stylized effects!

Love to hear there's even a physical release for those interested in it (potentially me included if I end up giving this at least a try despite its supposed difficulty) - regardless, looking forward to seeing/hearing how this game ends up being, fingers crossed for the best!

Sad to hear for those playing and enjoying it - how I wish that instead of completely shutting it down they released an offline version à la Pocket Camp (and even more so based on what people here mentioned about it beyond the usual microtransaction etc. annoyances which would be removed in such a release, in fact at least those are practically now gone before the closure as mentioned in the article)!

Didn't know Big (the Cat) somehow caused issues to this game!
Jokes about those typos aside, glad to hear they're further improving this Fatal Frame - hope those playing it will enjoy it even more!

Waiting for official confirmation and also the prices here in Italy specifically, but based on these most likely I'll just get the Starter Pack (it should be more than enough for me and that way I'd still support the game and even more so its creators) - anyway, looking forward to giving Champions at least a try!

Nice that this has a release date now - definitely interested in getting it myself (waiting to know more about the Switch 1 and 2 versions first, though)!

Assuming this gets confirmed fingers crossed there will be an upgrade, but good to hear here in the comments that there's at least a way to transfer saves between platforms and so most likely also this version - hope those going for it will enjoy it (maybe including @Ganner at some point? Regardless, you immediately came to mind since it's SnowRunner)!

@Olliemar28 There's a full stop missing when you can add it, "allowing you to fold the rest of it over and protect the vinyl and buttons while out and about".

Thanks for the review, if I ever get one of these controllers most likely I'll go for something like the mentioned 8BitDo one (way less expensive, compatible with all the platforms I own and also wireless) - that said, glad to hear this one is so good, happy for those going for it!

Would love to see the older Resident Evil games return, most likely in collections (I'd gladly take them even on NSO etc., but I also doubt that will happen for most of these games) - fingers crossed we eventually get that although in the meantime I expect at the very least the remakes etc. not yet on Switch 2!

@plasticc I suppose this post is what you're referring to - anyway, great to hear, even happier that I got the upgrade (not sure when I'll make use of this option personally, but it really is a game changer for multiplayer)!

Forgot to put in italics the games I'm playing specifically this weekend and so I'm voting for in the poll (can't modify my comment because it's too long): Persona 3 Reload, Trails in the Sky 1st on my own and CrossWorlds for the Mega Man festival on stream for sure, potentially Mario Kart World and Tennis Fever on my own and/or with my friends!

Tonight I'm seeing my friends, not sure what we'll play.

Happy to hear they fixed the AI difficulty in particular, but this update is absolutely welcome in general - even more so considering this I'm absolutely getting this Kollection as soon as I can and then playing it when I have the time for it!

Not particularly interested in such an addition myself (the Additional Side Story certainly appeals more to me) but still, cool that this free update is coming for those who are - looking forward to Stories 3 whenever I get to it after playing the previous games!

Why some always claim there's little difference by looking at such comparisons on phones? Even on my 1080p PC screen it's way more noticeable because it's much bigger, not to mention on my 1440p portable monitor and as others have already said even more so on 4K displays, especially TVs...
Leaving that aside, while the resolution upgrade is welcome I'm way more interested in the added contents - so looking forward to playing this myself as soon as I can (most likely after finishing Tennis Fever, but we'll see)!

Glad this update has a release date now and even more so since it's that soon - looking forward to playing it and Victory Road in general myself when I can (currently I'm focused on Fantasy Life i when it comes to Level-5 games and I'm absolutely loving it)!

Glad to hear it in general and also personally as I'd like to play the Dragon Quest Builders games (fingers crossed for a third one at some point) myself on Switch 2... but of course not anytime soon since I've started Pokopia - speaking of, while I've still played it relatively little compared to how big it is based on what I've seen and heard I couldn't agree more that it's absolutely worth it!

Unless plans change this is straight up confirmation - love to see it for those interested in playing Mewgenics on Switch 2 (absolutely me included and even more so considering the comments of those here on Nintendo Life already playing and enjoying it)!

@Jalex_64 Thanks for telling me, I'll remove that part from my original comment then - my main point still stands though, I'm waiting to see if it actually happens (and even more so since Robobot on Switch hasn't yet if it ever does)... but I certainly hope so!

Thanks for the review, definitely interested in getting this collection at some point - first and foremost for the better games (especially X-Men: The Arcade Game, have never played it but I luckily got to experience how good Konami's arcade games can be back in the day thanks to an Asterix cabinet and speaking of, how I wish that got rereleased), but I'm so glad the other ones are included as well!

Nice that this is coming also to Switch 2 - definitely interested in seeing and hearing more about it and potentially playing it myself!

Will believe it when I see it (we haven't seen Robobot on Switch yet, Nate the Hate being right about Direct dates doesn't make him automatically right about other things) - that said, I'd love for this to be true!

Thanks for the review (nice to see a full article on the site by Mai), glad to hear this is such an improvement compared to the Switch version - fingers crossed they'll further fix the bugs and maybe even add Mouse Mode through patches, but even as is I'm definitely interested in playing Dreamlight Valley myself when I can!

@martynstuff Jokes aside, I'd be ecstatic if Nintendo acknowledged Mole Mania in any way (really hope they'll eventually bring it to NSO at least, it was on Virtual Console) - if we're counting games that Miyamoto-san produced then we should go even further with a Hamtaro crossover as he's the producer of most if not all Game Boy Color and Advance Hamtaro games!

Of course there's also the matter of the voice actor, one more reason why they revealed Fox before the movie came out - anyway, good for him (as usual the English VAs don't matter as much to me since I'll watch it in Italian first and foremost, but still) and really nice reel!

Reminder that this is not the first time Sony increased the prices of their current system, Microsoft also did so while Nintendo haven't yet (just look at how to counter the tariffs they increased the prices of the accessories first and eventually Switch 1, not 2) - they might straight up have to at some point, but I'm waiting to see it actually happen before worrying about it!

I'm here for the buzz, not only this would've been spoiled immediately after the movie anyway as already mentioned here, but also I'd rather more people get to hear about the movie in general and in particular Star Fox (especially since that series could finally come back thanks to this) - personally, I'm looking forward to the Galaxy Movie even more than I already was as despite this and previous reveals there's a huge universe out there!

@Fizza Was thinking of starting with 5 when it comes to Switch 2 (assuming it will be an overall good port if not better, but I seriously doubt it won't be considering it's by Capcom) exactly for that reason based on what I've seen and heard even before - thanks for sharing your thoughts about each title in the series and I'm absolutely playing at the very least one game to give it a try, but hopefully more!

@Whirlwound Yeah, honestly the only one that doesn't seem good (and not just as a starting point) based on what I've seen and heard including the reviews and comments here on Nintendo Life is 2 - thanks for the recommendation, I'll keep it in mind!

Really hope Silent Hill will eventually come also to Switch 2 for those interested in it (not me included of course, but still) - that said, glad there's this collab between that and Fatal Frame in the meantime!
