As usual I don't mind delays if they mean getting better games from the get-go - absolutely looking forward to this whenever it comes out this summer (it's so cool to get a He-Man game nowadays in general and even more so based on what has been shown of this one in particular)!
And unsurprisingly after this I'm even more interested in Denshattack than I of course already was based on the Indie World trailer - looking forward to seeing and hearing even more about it and eventually playing it myself (in the meantime I really should give the demo a try when I can, too)!
Ha ha, that's exactly the kind of thing I'd expect from Tomodachi Live (adding it as an option was for the best so players can decide themselves if they want to use it or not) - anyway, reading the full interview as soon as I can and I'm so looking forward to starting the full release of Living the Dream as soon as my copy arrives!
Fingers crossed we eventually get a Captain Toad sequel (although I'd also welcome even just a Switch 2 Edition over nothing), while I haven't finished the original for various reasons I loved what I played of it and I'm looking forward to eventually replaying and this time finishing it - that said and even leaving the rumors aside, I really hope we get a new Star Fox and also more rereleases of the previous ones first and foremost... and would be great if the same happened for other Nintendo series, too!
Really hope we won't have a repeat of the Pokémon gigaleak especially when it comes to the personal information (at the very least that shouldn't have been made public) - as usual hope those who want to avoid such leaked contents will be able to do so!
Funnily enough I played exactly Overwatch online with my friends last Saturday - anyway, so glad to hear the Switch 2 version is coming today, downloading it as soon as it becomes available (mostly if not exclusively to be ready whenever I play it again with my friends from time to time, but still)!
How I wish the official set weren't restricted in that way in the first place - that said, glad they've now officially released the build instructions for it at least (funnily enough a comment here on Nintendo Life told me about an unofficial video to do that)!
I've already pre-ordered it and yes, at some point I'll get the Diana amiibo, too - so looking forward to starting this game when my copy arrives and as soon as I have the time for it (hopefully I should finish playing at least Pac-Man World 2 in the upcoming weeks)!
@Pillowpants Got it here in Italy as well so it's even weirder that the Netherlands didn't (unlike other Nintendo games at the time I presume) - glad you still managed to get it by importing a US copy and that you enjoyed it so much, of course I also really hope it will be released on NSO at some point!
Love to see them adding this soundtrack in general and even more so in occasion of the 25th anniversary of the series - fingers crossed the game itself will eventually come to NSO, too (doubt anytime soon for the reasons already mentioned here, but still)!
What a nice way (and even more so since it's not the only one as can be seen also in the first related article) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the series - doubt I'll boot up New Horizons now just for this, but happy for those playing it!
Good to hear, looking forward to finally seeing a trailer of this movie whenever they're ready and then most likely watch it when it comes out - quite curious about it as much as I prefer animation personally!
Guess your mileage may vary when it comes to certain aspects, but it seems like a great if not better game (especially gameplay-wise) and I'm glad most enjoyed it overall - looking forward to playing it myself when my copy arrives and as soon as I have the time for it!
Unfortunate even though it makes sense, glad it has been announced now (thanks Nintendo Life for reporting it) and so there's a good amount of time for people to get these - even more so since they're free I'm downloading them immediately!
As usual I hope that those who don't want to see such leaks will be able to avoid them - that said, luckily it shouldn't matter as much for a game of this kind (actually, bet some people would like to know about certain features in advance to plan their Miis, islands etc.)!
Thanks for the review, looking forward to playing this even more than I already was (and I was already quite excited based on what I've seen/heard of it and even played courtesy of its demo) - looking forward to my copy and while I'm not sure if I'll be able to start it immediately I'll do so as soon as I can!
And that's without however much it will end up making in Japan considering that it hasn't come out there yet etc., I can definitely see it reaching if not surpassing the first movie - personally I love to see it as so many obviously me included really enjoyed it, so looking forward to the third movie whenever it comes out most likely in around 3 years (and in the meantime I'm curious about the Zelda one next year as much as I prefer animation)!
As usual looking forward to seeing what games others end up recommending (both here in the comments and in the future article) - it's great to see this feature continue!
Possible, but really weird that this happened if true - anyway, fingers crossed Borderlands 4 eventually comes to Switch 2 and doesn't get straight up cancelled for those interested in it (in my case I should give the other Borderlands games a try before considering this one anyway)!
Yep, Pokopia is here to stay - not surprising at all to me considering it's Pokémon and its game genres first and foremost and luckily also quality but still, love to see it!
Also personally happy to see Requiem in 1st, World in 5th, the Galaxy bundle, Bananza and CrossWorlds back to the top 10 in 7th, 9th and 10th respectively, Legends Z-A in 8th (further proof of the abovementioned Pokémon factor), Crimson Desert in 11th, Hogwarts Legacy in 12th, Skywalker Saga in 14th, New Horizons in 15th, Wonder still in 16th etc.!
Nice to hear more stats about Nintendo Life in general and overall great list - looking forward to seeing which games will end up being scored 10/10 here going forward (and that's just the tip of the iceberg, as shown by sales articles if you start including even just 9/10 ones there are so many more)!
Japan for me as it's more representative of how the game actually looks (and I'm a big fan of Sugimori-san's art in general) and also its contents - there are even the typical Mendel Palace panels!
@PC2 Yep, in my case I've already heard that, when I have the time (maybe immediately after Raiders if I do end up starting with that?) I'm definitely playing also the mainline Splatoon games mostly if not exclusively for the single player content - anyway, glad you've already said it for those who didn't know! @Joekun Fortune's Weave is already confirmed to be a return to 3 Houses when it comes to both gameplay and story, but I wouldn't be surprised if we still got more traditional Fire Emblem games from time to time (at least when it comes to remakes and there's one that was supposedly leaked along with Engage even though it hasn't come out yet) - regardless, like @Kingy I also recommend giving older Fire Emblem titles a try starting with the GBA ones on NSO or emulator to see if those appeal more to you!
Not particularly surprising but still, good to hear these got rated and so we're getting closer to their release - so looking forward to both whenever they come out (Raiders will most likely be my first proper Splatoon, have only played a little of the first one so far)!
Most likely I'll go for performance both in handheld and docked - and yep, despite FPS usually not being my cup of tea I'm seriously considering playing this one as I love practically everything else about it (we'll see also based on reviews, there's a good amount of time for me to decide anyway since the physical comes out on July 10)!
Thanks for the review, doubt the mentioned cons would particularly bother me if I played this myself (might do so at some point, but it's not a priority for me) although it would be great if they could further polish this port through patches - regardless, hope those going for it will enjoy it!
@Daniel36 Yeah, definitely not doing that, but I wouldn't mind checking out at least a couple of games based on it here and there (potentially starting with this one, but we'll see) - thanks for telling me!
FOPI aside (I'm waiting for an increase to actually be announced before worrying about it, but on the other hand I seriously doubt there will ever be any decreases apart from discounts at retailers), it's exactly all those features people have been asking for throughout the Switch generation in addition of course to current and inevitable future exclusives and the strengths the first Switch also had that make Switch 2 worth it for so many, obviously me included, as shown by its sales regardless of what some on the internet claim - anyway, glad to hear you've been playing and enjoying New Horizons as a family!
Tonight I'm not seeing my friends, but we might play something together online. For sure I'll continue with my schedule:

Xenoblade Chronicles X (did 2 normal missions - also got several Heart-to-Hearts; 7/?? Chapters, 23/?? Affinity, 59/?? Normal, 66/?? Basic Missions and 59/?? Heart-to-Hearts - Mira 29.39% - 101/204 Story, 44/315 Combat and 75/222 World Achievements);

Pokopia (continued the current area; Pokédex 45 and 3 Events, Habitats 35 and 3 Events);
on YouTube FireRed (defeated the rival, went through Route 1 and so arrived at Viridian City)!
How I wish there were an upgrade and so people (me included) could get the Switch version physically and then just the former digitally - anyway, definitely getting this game in some way or the other when I can!
Competitive (not just Pokémon, anything) will always require "dedication and time to improve" or it wouldn't be that, but what this does based on everything I've seen and heard myself is exactly what most have been asking for all this time: give a streamlined way to prepare your Pokémon for competitive and so put your dedication and time into the strategies etc. instead of the boring stuff - considering that, I'm not surprised at all that I've seen several people here enjoying this even as is although of course we all hope the bugs will be fixed sooner rather than later!
@kid_keo I think so also considering that all the languages are listed even on the Japanese version of the official site, but of course we'll have to wait and see - fingers crossed that will be the case for you and others interested in it (in my case of course it won't be a problem anyway)!
So glad Castlevania is finally getting a new game and even more so after seeing what they've shown of it, this latest trailer in particular was fantastic - absolutely going for it whenever it comes out this year (although I should finally play the previous games in the series myself as well when I can)!
Still want to watch the full showcase as soon as I can (most likely not earlier than tomorrow unfortunately) and so see these announcements in detail there, but glad to see them in general here - the game I'm most excited for is Professor Layton both in itself and considering that it's the one coming first, but I'm also really happy to hear that Victory Road is getting at least in Japan, absolutely importing it!
Yes please, the more games released as cloud versions on Switch coming to Switch 2 as native ones the better (how I wish the same happened for Kingdom Hearts to finally play it myself) - unless plans change looking forward to the official announcement whenever they're ready and I'm definitely getting it myself!
Now that I've started playing it myself thanks to the remake Trails in the Sky immediately came to mind when I heard of crystals in gears (and even more so after seeing the corresponding screenshot) - anyway, thanks for making me discover this game and based on what's mentioned here I'm definitely interested in it!
Certainly didn't expect it, what a nice surprise - completely missed the original so I'm looking forward to giving Snack World a try whenever this remake comes out (might still check out the original at some point, but most likely I'll play this first if not exclusively)!
It's exactly because they didn't hesitate to delay it that Fantasy Life i has been a success (there's literally an article about that on this very site) and most certainly the same can be said about Inazuma Eleven Victory Road, too - I don't mind delays in general if they mean getting better games from the get go, but even more so when it comes to Level-5 specifically considering the abovementioned!
Forgot to watch the Level-5 showcase live, will do so as soon as I can - in the meantime watched the trailer here (spotted Don Paolo even before reading the article), keeps on looking great and I'm absolutely looking forward to it whenever it comes, hopefully still this year as reiterated!
Not sure if this is for me considering the horror elements, but I might give it at least a try regardless - anyway, great article and the game certainly seems quite interesting (hope those going for it will enjoy it, too)!
An update just to fix some issues, but of course it's still welcome - count me among the (yet again mostly silent) majority overall enjoying World although of course I'm looking forward to future additions through updates and most likely also DLC eventually!
This is exactly what people have been asking for all this time then, a much more streamlined way to train Pokémon for competitive, and luckily it seems that the monetization can be mostly ignored so I'm not surprised that I've seen several here on Nintendo Life mentioning enjoying it even as is (looking forward to giving it a try myself) - that said, fingers crossed the technical issues will be solved sooner rather than later other than of course the inevitable additional Pokémon, items etc. over time although I couldn't agree more about the advantages of the limitations at first!
Didn't see this coming, but I'm all for it - definitely interested in it myself despite not being familiar with Warhammer (I should finally play Vampire Survivors itself first and foremost, though)!
Welp, looking forward to playing Rift of the NecroDancer myself when I can even more than I already was considering this (lol the "[t]here are no dogs in this Music Pack, sorry")!
Good to know that it's just a bug of this kind (interesting that a similar but opposite one has already happened to Payday 2) and so not only there's this temporary solution, but most likely it will be fixed sooner rather than later - will keep it in mind if I end up trying Champions in docked before the straight up fix!

Re: He-Man's Stunning-Looking Beat 'Em Up Delayed Just Two Weeks Before Release
As usual I don't mind delays if they mean getting better games from the get-go - absolutely looking forward to this whenever it comes out this summer (it's so cool to get a He-Man game nowadays in general and even more so based on what has been shown of this one in particular)!
Re: "What's This Stupid Thing?" – How One Silly Idea Became The Jet Set Radio-Inspired Denshattack!
@Olliemar28 There's a typo when you can fix it, "always looking for for adventure".
Re: "What's This Stupid Thing?" – How One Silly Idea Became The Jet Set Radio-Inspired Denshattack!
And unsurprisingly after this I'm even more interested in Denshattack than I of course already was based on the Indie World trailer - looking forward to seeing and hearing even more about it and eventually playing it myself (in the meantime I really should give the demo a try when I can, too)!
Re: "We Did So Many Retakes" - The Tomodachi Life Team Was Determined To Make Farts Sound Just Right
Ha ha, that's exactly the kind of thing I'd expect from Tomodachi Live (adding it as an option was for the best so players can decide themselves if they want to use it or not) - anyway, reading the full interview as soon as I can and I'm so looking forward to starting the full release of Living the Dream as soon as my copy arrives!
Re: Talking Point: If The Star Fox Rumours Are True, Where The Heck's Our Captain Toad Sequel?
Fingers crossed we eventually get a Captain Toad sequel (although I'd also welcome even just a Switch 2 Edition over nothing), while I haven't finished the original for various reasons I loved what I played of it and I'm looking forward to eventually replaying and this time finishing it - that said and even leaving the rumors aside, I really hope we get a new Star Fox and also more rereleases of the previous ones first and foremost... and would be great if the same happened for other Nintendo series, too!
Re: Indonesia's Ratings Board Leaks A Bunch Of Game Details, Includes 007 First Light & Castlevania
Really hope we won't have a repeat of the Pokémon gigaleak especially when it comes to the personal information (at the very least that shouldn't have been made public) - as usual hope those who want to avoid such leaked contents will be able to do so!
Re: Overwatch Lands On Switch 2 Tomorrow, Will Be 60fps Both Handheld And Docked
Funnily enough I played exactly Overwatch online with my friends last Saturday - anyway, so glad to hear the Switch 2 version is coming today, downloading it as soon as it becomes available (mostly if not exclusively to be ready whenever I play it again with my friends from time to time, but still)!
Re: LEGO Releases Official Build Instructions For Pokémon Kanto Region Badges
How I wish the official set weren't restricted in that way in the first place - that said, glad they've now officially released the build instructions for it at least (funnily enough a comment here on Nintendo Life told me about an unofficial video to do that)!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pragmata For Switch 2?
I've already pre-ordered it and yes, at some point I'll get the Diana amiibo, too - so looking forward to starting this game when my copy arrives and as soon as I have the time for it (hopefully I should finish playing at least Pac-Man World 2 in the upcoming weeks)!
Re: Animal Crossing's GameCube Soundtrack Has Been Added To Nintendo Music
@Pillowpants Got it here in Italy as well so it's even weirder that the Netherlands didn't (unlike other Nintendo games at the time I presume) - glad you still managed to get it by importing a US copy and that you enjoyed it so much, of course I also really hope it will be released on NSO at some point!
Re: Animal Crossing's GameCube Soundtrack Has Been Added To Nintendo Music
Love to see them adding this soundtrack in general and even more so in occasion of the 25th anniversary of the series - fingers crossed the game itself will eventually come to NSO, too (doubt anytime soon for the reasons already mentioned here, but still)!

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pragmata
Guess your mileage may vary when it comes to certain aspects, but it seems like a great if not better game (especially gameplay-wise) and I'm glad most enjoyed it overall - looking forward to playing it myself when my copy arrives and as soon as I have the time for it!
Re: Two Free 'PowerWash Simulator' DLCs Are Being Delisted Next Month
Unfortunate even though it makes sense, glad it has been announced now (thanks Nintendo Life for reporting it) and so there's a good amount of time for people to get these - even more so since they're free I'm downloading them immediately!
Re: PSA: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Has Apparently Leaked Online
As usual I hope that those who don't want to see such leaks will be able to avoid them - that said, luckily it shouldn't matter as much for a game of this kind (actually, bet some people would like to know about certain features in advance to plan their Miis, islands etc.)!
Re: Review: Pragmata (Switch 2) - A Dazzling Puzzle-Shooter Driven By A Heartfelt Friendship
Thanks for the review, looking forward to playing this even more than I already was (and I was already quite excited based on what I've seen/heard of it and even played courtesy of its demo) - looking forward to my copy and while I'm not sure if I'll be able to start it immediately I'll do so as soon as I can!
Re: Unsurprisingly, The Mario Galaxy Movie Is Already 2026's Biggest Box Office Hit

Re: Two First-Party Switch 2 Ratings Have Been Spotted
@PC2 Yep, in my case I've already heard that, when I have the time (maybe immediately after Raiders if I do end up starting with that?) I'm definitely playing also the mainline Splatoon games mostly if not exclusively for the single player content - anyway, glad you've already said it for those who didn't know!
@Joekun Fortune's Weave is already confirmed to be a return to 3 Houses when it comes to both gameplay and story, but I wouldn't be surprised if we still got more traditional Fire Emblem games from time to time (at least when it comes to remakes and there's one that was supposedly leaked along with Engage even though it hasn't come out yet) - regardless, like @Kingy I also recommend giving older Fire Emblem titles a try starting with the GBA ones on NSO or emulator to see if those appeal more to you!

Not sure if this is for me considering the horror elements, but I might give it at least a try regardless - anyway, great article and the game certainly seems quite interesting (hope those going for it will enjoy it, too)!
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.6.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
An update just to fix some issues, but of course it's still welcome - count me among the (yet again mostly silent) majority overall enjoying World although of course I'm looking forward to future additions through updates and most likely also DLC eventually!
Re: Video: Mortal Kombat II's New Movie Trailer Features A Very Special Kameo
Even if I wanted to I still need to see the first movie - anyway, hope those watching it will enjoy it!
Re: Review: Pokémon Champions (Switch) – The Most Accessible & Flawed Competitive Pokémon Has Ever Been
This is exactly what people have been asking for all this time then, a much more streamlined way to train Pokémon for competitive, and luckily it seems that the monetization can be mostly ignored so I'm not surprised that I've seen several here on Nintendo Life mentioning enjoying it even as is (looking forward to giving it a try myself) - that said, fingers crossed the technical issues will be solved sooner rather than later other than of course the inevitable additional Pokémon, items etc. over time although I couldn't agree more about the advantages of the limitations at first!
Re: Cemetery Management Sim 'Graveyard Keeper' Digs Up A Sequel On Switch 1 & 2
Nice that Graveyard Keeper is getting a sequel - in this case I might just wait for that to give it a try instead of the starting with the original!
Re: Warhammer Brings Its Own 'Vampire Survivors' Game To Switch 1 & 2 This Year
Didn't see this coming, but I'm all for it - definitely interested in it myself despite not being familiar with Warhammer (I should finally play Vampire Survivors itself first and foremost, though)!
Re: Undertale Music By Toby Fox Is Coming To Rift Of The NecroDancer As DLC
Welp, looking forward to playing Rift of the NecroDancer myself when I can even more than I already was considering this (lol the "[t]here are no dogs in this Music Pack, sorry")!
Re: Fear Not, Pokémon Champions' Naff Switch 2 TV Resolution Is Fixable
Good to know that it's just a bug of this kind (interesting that a similar but opposite one has already happened to Payday 2) and so not only there's this temporary solution, but most likely it will be fixed sooner rather than later - will keep it in mind if I end up trying Champions in docked before the straight up fix!
