Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (30th May)

JohnnyMind

@Yalloo Just like you I loved previous Hyrule Warriors games so unsurprisingly I love this one, too - I'm playing it at normal if I recall correctly, but I've heard from others here that it's even better at higher difficulty levels if you're looking for a challenge (which should be your case based on what you mentioned before about other games)... no matter how you end up playing it, I hope you'll enjoy it whenever you start it!

Re: Oops, Another Rayman Game Announcement Appears To Have Leaked

JohnnyMind

Fingers crossed this gets confirmed also for Switch 1 and/or 2, would love to finally play Origins myself (along with properly playing Legends as I've only played it a little at a friend's house so far, but that luckily is already on Switch - of course there's the matter of Retold as well, but we'll see)!

Re: Mina The Hollower Is Now Metacritic's Highest-Rated Game Of 2026

JohnnyMind

On the one hand I wish people focused more about what's said about games in reviews etc. than scores, but on the other hand of course I'm happy to see games being well-received and that is shown to an extent also by the latter, especially aggregate ones - anyway, fingers crossed it will sell well and even more so considering the unfortunate current situation of Yacht Club as mentioned also by the article (personally I've supported the game on Kickstarter and so got a digital copy and extras, really excited to play it as soon as I can)!

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th May (North America)

JohnnyMind

Just bought the upgrade for Lollipop Chainsaw (thanks for the reminder), getting a digital copy of Mina as I've supported it on Kickstarter (technically I've already received it, but the code isn't available yet) and waiting for my physical copy of Rebirth, will eventually get Bluey for sure and that should be it!

Re: The Original Pikmin Soundtrack Has Been Added To Nintendo Music

JohnnyMind

Love to see more Pikmin soundtracks coming to Nintendo Music and even more so since the OST of the first game was already fantastic overall just like the game in general as already mentioned here - that said, personally I'll just listen to it in game when I replay (and this time finish) it whenever its time comes for my channel!

Re: "It's Actually Been Pretty Smooth" - Infinity Ward On Getting Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Running On Switch 2

JohnnyMind

Glad to hear it even though I'm not particularly surprised based on Switch 2 itself and even more so what other developers have said in the past - looking forward to seeing how this version ends up being, fingers crossed for the best for those interested in it (potentially me included, as I've already said and also like others here I'm more interested in it to an extent thanks to its setting other than of course being able to play it in the first place because it's coming also to this system)!

Re: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Revealed For Switch 2

JohnnyMind

Didn't expect such a setting (most likely just because I know practically nothing about this series, but still), thanks to that I'm interested to at least some extent in this - anyway, so glad Call of Duty is finally coming also to a Nintendo system again, its absence all these years has been ridiculous and even more so after that infamous deal!

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Sneaks In Some Huge Numbers Ahead Of The Price Rise

JohnnyMind

Love to see Yoshi debuting in second and selling that much - of course not in first just because of how popular Tomodachi Life keeps on being!
Also personally happy to see Pokopia in 3rd, World in 4th, Arise debuting in 5th, Legends Z-A in 6th, New Horizons in 8th, Jamboree in 9th, Air Riders in 10th (wish it sold more, but half a million in Japan alone is still nothing to sneeze at) and of course Switch 2 on top of the hardware charts and selling that much!

Re: Pragmata Director Would "Love To See A Sequel", But The Decision Isn't His Alone

JohnnyMind

Hope Cho and co. will have the chance to make a sequel at some point although of course it's too early to talk about it and even more so to the public, the game has practically just come out - anyway, glad Pragmata has been such a success and looking forward to playing it myself as soon as I can (unfortunately I haven't been able to do so yet, but it's one of the third-party games on Switch 2 that has the highest priority for me)!

Re: Steins;Gate Re:Boot Is Coming West Later This Year

JohnnyMind

Glad this already has a precise release date outside of Japan - we'll see which version I end up playing (potentially this very one although I'm waiting for more information first), but I'm definitely interested in finally checking out Steins;Gate myself when I can!

Re: Square Enix Has "No Plans" To Sell A Switch 2 Upgrade For Dragon Quest XI S

JohnnyMind

Yeah, based on its title and Square Enix's record (at this point I'm surprised even just a couple of their games got updates/upgrades) I thought that would be the case - hate it for those who already have the Switch version first and foremost and also considering the usual Game-Key Card matter as updates/upgrades partially counter that as well, but since I don't have that I might consider this version personally... although it depends on how much of an improvement it actually is, I could still go for the Switch version for backward compatibility, fully physical if I can find a copy etc.!

Re: Valve Follows Switch 2, PS5 & Xbox With Major Steam Deck Price Hike

JohnnyMind

I'm sorry, but after the incessant complaining about Nintendo and even more so ever since the start of the Switch 2 gen I'm so glad most here have called out how ridiculous it is that people do that and then when other companies and especially Valve not only do the same but worse they barely complain if at all - that said because it had to be said, at the same time I'm sad for those interested in getting a Steam Deck, me included as I doubt I'll ever do so then (I was waiting for its successor, but I shiver at the thought of how much that will cost if it ever comes in the first place)... but at the same time man am I glad others and I got or still can get a way, way more sensibly priced Switch 2!

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game Next Week

JohnnyMind

"Here, here, here we go
So they're finally here"...
and I love to see it, so glad DK 64 is on NSO at last (had no doubt that would eventually happen considering it was already on Virtual Console first and then also the "leak" by Nintendo themselves) - looking forward to finally finishing this game myself as I wasn't able to do so on emulator and then missed it on the abovementioned VC, will play it on my own and/or for my channel when I can!

Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World Announced For Switch 1 & 2

JohnnyMind

Considering all the announcements mentioned here on Nintendo Life I'm definitely watching the full presentation as soon as I can (luckily it's relatively short) - anyway, glad to hear a new Dragon Quest Monsters is coming, looking forward to it although we'll see if I'll start with this one or the previous one on Switch!
... Okay, I couldn't resist and so immediately after saying that I actually watched it - good thing I did, what a lovely little (in terms of length, definitely not the announcements themselves and series celebration at the start) presentation!

Re: Dragon Quest XII Gets A New Title Following Complete Development Reset

JohnnyMind

Will check out the full presentation later, but glad to hear they've shown Dragon Quest XII during it - looking forward to that whenever it comes (as already mentioned here I also wonder if we'll hear more about it sooner rather than later considering that they might just be keeping info for one or multiple of the summer showcases, but we'll see)!

Re: Review: Mina The Hollower - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Switch 2) - Yacht Club Is Back With Another Masterful Love Letter

JohnnyMind

Thanks for the review, love to hear that the full release is so good and also that it includes all those quality-of-life and difficulty options even though I had no doubt that would be the case between who developed it, what I heard about the demo etc. - looking forward to recieving my digital copy (so glad I got to support this on Kickstarter unlike Shovel Knight which I missed back in the day) and then playing it when I can!

Re: Capcom Releases Resident Evil Requiem Demo On Switch 2

JohnnyMind

... Even leaving aside the usual disregarding of how impressive it is that certain games run the way they do on a handheld that uses so little electricity (less than 25W while other consoles and PCs are in the hundreds) etc., people could just be happy that more have access to these games instead of always ruining their fun - imagine if Switch 2 players constantly ridiculed etc. those playing on other systems because they waste more electricity as abovementioned and/or they can't play anywhere and so on but guess what, most me included don't do that and personally I'm genuinely glad for those who also or exclusively have other systems that prioritize aspects that matter more to them!

Re: Capcom Releases Resident Evil Requiem Demo On Switch 2

JohnnyMind

Always great when games get demos for those interested in trying them out before potentially getting them (even more so when they come out before the full releases, but they take time so better late than never) - that said, personally I'll just play the full game as I got the physical Generation Pack while still available... and after giving 4 on Switch a try to see if Resident Evil is for me or not despite overall not being a fan of horror!

Re: PSA: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Adds Another Free Character This Week

JohnnyMind

Yep, so glad it's now Arle's turn to come to CrossWorlds (looking forward to seeing who will be added next when it comes to the free DLC characters as we've now got all the announced ones) - unless I straight up can't for some reason of course I'm trying out her while taking part in the related festival on stream as usual!

Re: Round Up: The Reviews For 007 First Light Are In

JohnnyMind

Glad to hear most really enjoyed this game - fingers crossed it will be overall good if not better also on Switch 2 whenever it comes (it being delayed most likely is for the best also considering that future updates should be included from the get-go)!
