Glad all the new Final Fantasy VII games are coming also to Switch 2 first and foremost but still, love to hear this - looking forward to playing Remake as soon as I can and then Rebirth (and after those the final game, wouldn't be surprised if it were coming if not already out by then)!
Happy for those playing No Man's Sky - looking forward to this (and more considering considering that it keeps on getting such additions) whenever I give it at least a try myself!
And this is exactly why others and I seriously doubt Pokopia is going to "flop" regardless of some people's opinions (or let's be honest, hopes due to those) on the game itself, its distribution method and/or the Pokémon series in general: combining Pokémon with the gameplay of all those games mentioned in this very article is a recipe for success...
Personally, the games themselves and even more so their creators are what matters the most to me, the former seems to be great also based on this and so I really hope, other than being pretty sure that will be the case, it will sell well for the sake of the latter - anyway, glad to hear Ollie enjoyed it and so looking forward to playing it myself when I can!
Love to hear about more games getting Switch 2 Editions (and so also upgrades, even more so when they're free) in general and absolutely including these ones in particular - looking forward to giving the Subnautica games a try myself when I can even more than I already was!
Love to hear it, definitely getting a physical copy of the game myself (the collector's edition is tempting, but I'll most luckily just get the game) - now what remains to be seen are the differences between the Switch 1 and 2 versions to choose my preferred option!
Fingers crossed we'll still get the remaining older Yakuza/Like A Dragon games on Switch 2 at some point in some other way - if not that I hope at the very least we'll get future games now that the series is finally also on the system!
Nice additions, happy for those playing Grand Bazaar - so looking forward to doing so myself when I can (not anytime soon since I'm currently playing Guardians of Azuma, but still)!
By the way and yet again, instead of obsessing over starting prices people could and should simply look/wait for discounts (they eventually happen in several region including both the US and even more so the UK and in some even day one), just look at Deku Deals and I'm glad it has already been said by others this time - the misinformation about that has to stop...
Technically I've already pre-ordered it discounted, but we'll see if my current preorder ends up being delayed or not (if it does and excessively so I'll cancel it and get the game elsewhere) - anyway, getting it for sure and so looking forward to playing Fever myself, again even when it comes to the single player there seems to be more compared to console Mario Tennis and only beaten by the RPG modes of the handheld ones... glad I'm not the only one pointing that out this time!
Wow that's wild (not as surprising considering Kodaka-san's involvement, but still), fingers crossed they'll be able to do so - regardless, so looking forward to playing Hundred Line myself when I can and fingers crossed for a Switch 2 Edition!
Nice although I doubt I'll go for this myself (there are other posters I'd get before this one assuming they're still available) - happy for my fellow Europeans going for it and fingers crossed it eventually becomes available elsewhere, too!
So glad AiAi is finally coming (he was planned for January, but they clearly couldn't make it in time) - looking forward to playing as him and taking part in the related festival this weekend on stream!
Glad to hear that they're still working on a Switch 2 version of this game for those interested in it (not particularly me included, but still) - curious to see what the new game is whenever they're ready to announce it!
Demo save data also working is pretty cool - happy for those going for this game and that have any of the other ones (me included, but I'll have to remember to at least start these games before Elliot)!
Love to hear it for those already playing Cosmic Invasion (looking forward to doing so myself when the physical version comes out) - fingers crossed it keeps on getting such updates going forward and so keeps on getting better!
I need to play them in the first place before I decide - that said, based on what I've heard maybe the original Hollow Knight, but we'll see (giving both at least a try when I can)!
Practically any (online) competitive game develops its own metagame which favors some aspects over other ones while still being perfectly fine...
Leaving my perplexity about that review aside, glad to hear most enjoyed Fever and that it has a lot of contents (less so when it comes to the single player but again and now also considering these additional reviews, it seems that it still has more than other console Mario Tennis and it's only beaten in that department by the RPG adventures of handheld ones) - looking forward to playing it myself when I can even more than I already was!
Thanks for the review, as much as I would've preferred more single player I'm glad to hear that the core gameplay, multiplayer, amount of contents at launch etc. are great (and honestly based on this even the former still seems to offer more than previous console Mario Tennis, I've played all games in this series except for the Virtual Boy one and only the handheld ones really focused on the single player) - so looking forward to playing it myself when I can!
Nice, happy for those who'll be able to play this demo - as usual it would be great to get a demo also on the eShop at some point (maybe it's more likely in this case considering the game is by Koei Tecmo and Game Freak, we'll see)!
Regardless of opinions on the game itself (although I'd say it was overall at least great and even more importantly most enjoyed it despite certain aspects), its soundtrack is absolutely fantastic, so glad it's now also on Nintendo Music - by the way, looking forward to the next Paper Mario game, would be great if it were a mix of the best elements of past ones along with new ones (would also gladly take more rereleases of past ones)!
Fingers crossed it ends up selling as much and more, the full release should be overall great if not better also based on this excellent demo (so glad that yes, I ended up downloading and trying it myself on stream) - if it wasn't clear enough yes, most likely I'm getting Pragmata myself!
Unfortunate when such things happen, but most likely it won't change much in the end considering these changes were planned for the next update (at worst they'll further tweak those later if needed, might even end up being a blessing in disguise) - anyway, hope those playing Splatoon 3 will keep on having fun with it!
Should always wait to see how the full release is, but in this case even more so as apparently the Switch 2 version was playable at events and ran better there so the demo could be an even older build than that - regardless, I'm so looking forward to this game (not sure when I'll even just start it though considering I have the previous Stories to play first and foremost)!
Looking forward to actually seeing this game whenever they're ready to announce it and then most likely playing it myself when it comes out - not sure if I'll start with this or another Rayman game already on Switch, but I'm excited to properly play this series instead of having barely done so (one or two GBA games on emulator and Legends at a friend's house)!
Spoke too soon, now there's an article about this also on Nintendo Life (at least now that it has been updated it's done in a much more tasteful way than elsewhere, but still) - again, here is a discussion mentioning facts disproving the narrative based on the most certainly incomplete leaked Z-A budget for those interested in more than sensationalism, so glad others in this comment section have already countered that, too...
Here you can find a discussion mentioning facts disproving the narrative about the budget of Legends Z-A for those interested in more than sensationalism - speaking of, kudos to Nintendo Life for reporting about Pokémon's Super Bowl Ad without taking part in that nonsense...
Relatively small but still really nice changes, happy for those using this (not me included when it comes to these usages, I've downloaded it only for the play data) - by the way, great subheading!
Thanks for the review (and also second opinion by Liam, didn't expect that), most likely I'll still give this a try at some point - not anytime soon anyway since I'm currently playing 0 and so there are also Kiwami 1 and 2 before this one!
Nice, happy for those going for any of these - personally, I'd get the Ho-Oh and Lugia one (two Pokémon instead of one and I have a soft spot for gen 2)! Speaking of @Olliemar28, there's a pretty funny mistake in the article when you can fix it, "Luigi" instead of Lugia.
Nice to finally see the opening movie fully instead of just parts of it like when the game was announced - so looking forward to playing Fever myself (will wait to see if my current preorder arrives not long after the official release date, if it doesn't then I'll cancel it and get the game elsewhere)!
Considering these are the UK charts and that above it are just the usual EA Sports FC, Mario Kart World and Nioh 3 which is another new release I'm so glad to see Dragon Quest VII in 4th and selling the most on Switch 1 and 2 when combining their sales and the latter almost on its own!
Also personally happy to see the abovementioned Mario Kart World in 2nd, New Horizons in 5th, Legends Z-A in 6th, 8 Deluxe in 9th, Bananza still in 10th, the Galaxy bundle in 12th, Switch Sports in 13th, Jamboree in 14th, Wilds in 15th, Armored Core VI in 17th, Wonder and The Witcher III still in 18th and 19th, Prime 4 in 22nd etc.!
By the way yeah, as I also mentioned last time the topic came up the older mainline games and especially the original ones are infamous for glitches and bugs (and that's despite being way smaller and so less complex than the newer ones) and yet people keep on fixating exclusively on the latest ones - in addition and as much as Scarlet & Violet could and should've been better from the start, how I wish "of extremely poor or unreliable quality" games were actually like them as even nowadays way too many games are much worse when they launch and/or take longer to be fixed if that ever happens in the first place...
Didn't expect actual announcements for the Super Bowl and as an ad for that this is pretty nice - we'll have to wait for the inevitable Pokémon Presents for game (hopefully both rereleases of old ones and completely new ones) etc. announcements, so looking forward to that!
Great article and yep, I'd also say that the narrative might be what Aonuma-san was referring to, but there are also other aspects potentially implied along with or instead of that, here are some of them:
related to the narrative they might go for more than one protagonist (most likely Link and Zelda, but there are other possibilities), each one doing their own thing and then brought together at the very least in the end game;
the "living, breathing Hyrule Castle Town" as mentioned also in the article so more focus on such locations and/or the people of Hyrule;
the technical aspects which are overall quite impressive.
Considering all that and honestly regardless - I love practically all Zelda games, both older and newer ones, for different reasons - I'm so looking forward to the next Zelda game whenever they're ready to announce it and then eventually release it... and in the meantime the Zelda movie for sure and hopefully game rereleases etc. in occasion of the 40th anniversary of the series and/or the movie!
While I appreciate the additional bombs and explosion in the North American/European box art I'm voting for Japan has it has multiple Bombermen and so shows that there's also multiplayer - quite an important aspect when it comes to Bomberman games (that said, I'm looking forward to the single player first and foremost whenever I finally play it thanks to the new collection)!
Nice preorder bonus, happy for those in the US going for it - so looking forward to playing Pokopia myself (and like luckily it has already been mentioned here most likely it won't ever be a flop, combining Pokémon with the Dragon Quest Builders and Animal Crossing gameplay is a recipe for success regardless of some people's personal opinions on Pokémon, GKC etc.)!
Yeah, anyone who's ever gone beyond the issues that can arise due to the headset depending on how you use it knows that there are some quality games on Virtual Boy - so glad Nintendo are finally rereleasing them, looking forward to finally playing them myself (still wonder if you'll be able to play them docked although most likely you'd get two screens and then have to hide one, we'll see)!
Not surprised based on what I've seen and heard of this game before and now including luckily at least some comments here that know how it runs on other systems and unsurprisingly so considering its battles as you can see also in the trailer - regardless, glad that Arise is coming also to Switch 2 for those interested in it (me included although I'm not sure when I'll play it depending on not only me finding the time for it, but also which Tales of I'll start with, haven't properly played any of them yet)!
Don't remember if it was mentioned in the international version of the Partner Showcase, but I know for sure it was in the Japanese one - anyway, glad they made these adjustments based on the feedback so that the game can be even better (kudos to Square Enix for releasing yet again a demo for this purpose), so looking forward to playing it myself when I can!
@Don Not Super Tennis, Super Soccer - I looked it up and apparently at least at first it simply got "delisted", wonder if modding could solve that as well then (unless they straight up removed it later, then my guess is that you'd also need an earlier version of the app that still had it)...
Great interview, quite interesting learning more about this game's development, structure and so on - looking forward to seeing/hearing more about it, but most likely I'll eventually give it a try myself as I'm interested in it and even more so after reading this (and that's despite having barely watched Star Trek myself, hope fans of the series in general and Voyager in particular will enjoy it, too)!
Some keep on saying that it's "ports, ports" despite being disproven by this very infographic since more than a third and close to half of these games are day-and-date releases as already pointed out and even listed by others here and also last time in the related article, a couple of them even being exclusives - one thing is not being personally interested in them (which is fair, but I wonder what appeals to those people then as there's quite the variety of games here), another is claiming something that isn't true at all...
Already got the Hollow Knight Switch 2 Edition, will eventually get Dragon Quest VII and the Super Bomberman Collection for sure, most likely also Lovish (didn't know about that, thanks to those mentioning it in the comments), Cool Boarders - voting for the games up to here -, Card-en-Ciel and Ninja Gaiden II (definitely interested in it, but less of a priority considering it's also on NSO) and that should be it!
Wonder as well how they managed to reduce the file size that much (would be cool if someone eventually figured that out) - anyway, nice to get that and the changes mentioned in the patch notes!
Not voting in the first poll as this will be my first time through when I finally try Hollow Knight myself - looking forward to doing so when I can even more now that it got a Switch 2 Edition (love to hear that there's also HD Rumble 2 implementation here in the comments)!
Looking forward to seeing myself how the Switch 2 version (and of course the game itself which is what matters the most to me) is when I play it for my channel tomorrow - that said, also based on this it sounds like yet another overall great port, kudos to Capcom in this particular case and all the other companies porting their games to Switch 2 so that more can enjoy them first and foremost and even more so when the results are like this!
By the way, reminder once more that NSO isn't your typical games as a service because not only the apps, but also their games get downloaded on your system and then they simply check if you have an active subscription so if it ever gets discontinued (not anytime soon considering the Switch 2 gen has just started) then it should still be accessible at least through modding unlike cloud games etc. - repeating that since even recently I've seen claims of the contrary, if I recall correctly when it comes to NSO Virtual Boy...
Yep, some of these like UFO for example were also in the Japanese version of the Partner Showcase (saw them last night when I watched that for my channel) - anyway, nice starting lineup exactly because of its variety and inclusion of unexpected games, I'll definitely get at least some if not all of these myself... at some point also considering their prices, as much as these games being rereleased officially is what matters first and foremost and so personally I'm fine with that this is exactly why NSO replaced Virtual Console!
Yeah, how I wish Nintendo released more demos also on the eShop at least eventually and not just at such kiosks (also considering that by doing so people all over the world would be able to try them and not just in specific regions) - that said, happy for those giving Fever a try thanks to this!

Re: If You Like Paper Mario's Newest Entry, This Nintendo Music Update Is For You

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (North America)
Already got the Hollow Knight Switch 2 Edition, will eventually get Dragon Quest VII and the Super Bomberman Collection for sure, most likely also Lovish (didn't know about that, thanks to those mentioning it in the comments), Cool Boarders - voting for the games up to here -, Card-en-Ciel and Ninja Gaiden II (definitely interested in it, but less of a priority considering it's also on NSO) and that should be it!
Re: Hollow Knight's Latest Update Is Now Live On Switch 1 & 2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Wonder as well how they managed to reduce the file size that much (would be cool if someone eventually figured that out) - anyway, nice to get that and the changes mentioned in the patch notes!
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets A Brand New Teaser With An Iconic Boss
Great teaser (lol the Yoshi part at the end) - so looking forward to upcoming trailers/teasers and then watching the full movie!
Re: Hands On: Does Hollow Knight's Free Upgrade Make A Difference On Switch 2?
Not voting in the first poll as this will be my first time through when I finally try Hollow Knight myself - looking forward to doing so when I can even more now that it got a Switch 2 Edition (love to hear that there's also HD Rumble 2 implementation here in the comments)!
Re: Video: Pragmata Demo Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch 2, Xbox Series S, PS5)
Looking forward to seeing myself how the Switch 2 version (and of course the game itself which is what matters the most to me) is when I play it for my channel tomorrow - that said, also based on this it sounds like yet another overall great port, kudos to Capcom in this particular case and all the other companies porting their games to Switch 2 so that more can enjoy them first and foremost and even more so when the results are like this!
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Starting Lineup Revealed, Includes More Than 10 Titles
By the way, reminder once more that NSO isn't your typical games as a service because not only the apps, but also their games get downloaded on your system and then they simply check if you have an active subscription so if it ever gets discontinued (not anytime soon considering the Switch 2 gen has just started) then it should still be accessible at least through modding unlike cloud games etc. - repeating that since even recently I've seen claims of the contrary, if I recall correctly when it comes to NSO Virtual Boy...
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Starting Lineup Revealed, Includes More Than 10 Titles
Yep, some of these like UFO for example were also in the Japanese version of the Partner Showcase (saw them last night when I watched that for my channel) - anyway, nice starting lineup exactly because of its variety and inclusion of unexpected games, I'll definitely get at least some if not all of these myself... at some point also considering their prices, as much as these games being rereleased officially is what matters first and foremost and so personally I'm fine with that this is exactly why NSO replaced Virtual Console!
Re: Mario Tennis Fever Demo Now Available At Switch 2 Kiosks (North America)
Yeah, how I wish Nintendo released more demos also on the eShop at least eventually and not just at such kiosks (also considering that by doing so people all over the world would be able to try them and not just in specific regions) - that said, happy for those giving Fever a try thanks to this!
