@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!

Yep, have already heard about it since I've supported ZPF myself on Kickstarter - getting a Steam copy and extras thanks to that, but I'm definitely getting it also on Switch as soon as I can and then playing it on the latter when I have the time for it!

I remember this from the Indie World, glad it now has a precise release date for those interested in it - potentially me included, maybe against my better judgement considering the horror elements but at the same time practically everything else about it appeals to me (including the killer being randomly chosen at the start of a save file, thanks @Erigen for telling us about that)!

Love to hear it, looking forward to eventually trying Fallout 4 myself even more than I already was (in addition to me being busy playing other games as usual I'm waiting for a discount like I usually do for digital-only games, especially more expensive ones) - always glad to hear here in the comments about people already playing it and enjoying it so much thanks to this Switch 2 port!

Would like to finally give the Devil May Cry series a try, maybe I'll do so starting with this one whenever it comes out (or 3 Special Edition which seems to be the best one of those already on Switch) - anyway, glad to hear this is apparently coming also to Switch 2, unless plans straight up change a rating is certainly more solid confirmation than supposed rumors/leaks!

Didn't fully check the notes, but overall it looks like characters got buffed (except for DK and for a good reason based on what's mentioned here in the comments) while rackets nerfed - anyway, looking forward to playing more Tennis Fever when its time comes as part of my gaming schedule!

Nice that Photo Mode is already here along with the usual fixes/adjustments - happy for those playing Requiem (potentially me included at some point, we'll see after playing 4 when I can)!

Fingers crossed they end up porting the game to Switch 2 (it depends on the game itself to an extent, but even more so optimization and of course it being feasible for them to work on it) - if it does I'm definitely interested in giving it a try myself!

Glad Hades II is now coming also to other consoles after being a limited-time exclusive for Switch 1 and 2 and of course even more so since it's getting an update on all platforms for the occasion - looking forward to playing the game myself when I can (after the original Hades, have just watched my friends playing some of it so far)!

So glad they released first a Switch 2 upgrade for those who got the Switch version (me included and I don't regret it as I got to start it earlier that way) and now fully physically, too - hope even more people will get and enjoy CrossWorlds thanks to this for both them and its creators!

Love the interviews here on Nintendo Life and this one is certainly no exception (always nice to hear from creators about their games and more) - looking forward to playing the full release of this game in general and in particular the titular World Stage mode even more than I already was!

@JimNorman There's a typo when you can fix it, "Aloplex".

If this Gold Edition can further help people discover this game I'm all for it - personally, I already have the deluxe edition physically and the Metalhead DLC digitally so I'll just get the Alopex one (actually, I might do so now to avoid forgetting about it) and I'm looking forward to playing all that when I can!

Love to see Pokopia still on top and selling that much and good for Crimson Desert debuting in 2nd!
Also personally happy to see Stories 3 funnily in 3rd, World in 4th, Fever in 5th, Requiem in 6th, FireRed & LeafGreen in 7th (not selling that much like most games this week, but at the same time it's quite the jump when you compare its sales this week to its total ones), New Horizons in 8th and 10th and of course Switch 2 still on top of the hardware charts and selling that much!

Doubt I'll ever play this myself despite the inclusion of the "Adventure Mode" (it's the disturbing aspects of horror that bother me the most and after a quick search it seems that this game has those no matter the mode) - anyway, glad this is coming also to Switch 2 for those interested in it!

Already got the Wonder and Human Fall Flat upgrades, my code of Grimoire Groves as I've supported it on Kickstarter, waiting for my copy of Virtua Fighter 5 to arrive, will eventually get Kena - voting for the games up to here in the poll - and Dreamlight Valley for sure, most likely also DAMON and BABY and Tales of the Shire (will check reviews first just to be sure, especially when it comes to the latter), maybe also Goat Simulator 3 and South of Midnight at some point and that should be it!

Glad Nintendo are aware of this bug and have identified what causes it (knowing that people can avoid doing it in the meantime) - fingers crossed they'll be able to fix it, but happy it doesn't affect saves!

Thanks for the review, luckily the cons mentioned shouldn't particularly bother me while everything else absolutely appeals to me - so glad this is now also on Switch 2 in general and personally as I'm definitely playing it myself when I can (fingers crossed for the sequel)!

Would be great if they also brought more Star Fox games to Switch 2 in occasion of this, both old (especially Assault for me to finally play it and in a way more convenient way) and hopefully new - regardless, pretty cool on its own, looking forward to the Galaxy Movie even more than I already was!

@Samalik Curious to see if that changes with VF6 and if it does I hope it will be for the best - as already mentioned World Stage still sounds fun so I'm looking forward to giving that a try in the meantime!
@Vyacheslav333 Yep, I've actually watched that OVA before and I've overall enjoyed it!

Thanks for the review, while I would've preferred an actual story mode World Stage still sounds fun, looking forward to finally playing that first and foremost (most other modes were available in the Open Beta Test which I tried on stream) - no matter when I'll be able to actually start it between all the games I'm currently playing, now I'm even more excited for my copy to arrive!

Funnily enough this appeals to me more than the EA FIFA games on paper - remains to be seen how it will be in practice (also considering that it's free-to-play, but in that case as well it depends on the implementation), fingers crossed for the best... although there are other football games on Switch that I'd rather play first and foremost anyway, starting with Inazuma Eleven, then Captain Tsubasa etc.!

Love to hear it and fingers crossed most if not all issues, apart from the old soundtrack which I also doubt about unless they manage to get the license for it, will be fixed by the time the physical version comes out (I'm waiting for that ever since it got announced, but I would've waited until we got such patches otherwise) - even just with this I'm looking forward to playing the collection even more than I already was!

Really hope it won't be patched, just like when it comes to emulators etc. I heavily disagree about completely taking down something simply because of potential misusages (and no, swearing in itself is absolutely not included among those as much as I'm not particularly interested in it myself) - if only Nintendo focused exclusively on actual instances of those and left everything else alone...

I'll most certainly never build something like this myself, but I'm so glad it's possible and that others go for it - it's just so cool (not only the impressive main stuctures, but also the little details like the "Goddess" Statue etc.)!

Yeah, I have to go with Leon as well - he's one of the reasons why I'm giving the Resident Evil series a try starting with 4 (by the way, fingers crossed the Remake will eventually come to Switch 2, too)!

Not as interested in this personally considering the genre, but glad it's now coming also to Switch for those who are - haven't heard of it before, but it seems like a cool game based on the trailer and what's mentioned in the article (nice that a Brazilian team made it)!

Still interested in a Switch 2 Pro Controller first and foremost personally also considering that I doubt this will have NFC and potentially wake-up as already mentioned in the article (also, it can be found at the same price if not lower here in Italy) - that said, seems like a great controller, happy for those going for it!

Still think that this is a great complement to the main game as it straight up addresses most of the issues people had with that (like IGN said the lacking boss battles, but also Assist Mode regardless of the character and not being able to combine badges) along with additional stuff - regardless, so looking forward to playing more Wonder thanks to this as soon as I can!

Wouldn't make sense for the Captain Toad amiibo to not be supported in Treasure Tracker - anyway, will definitely try to get this and the other Wonder amiibo when I can!
@Krlozgod Haven't tested it myself yet but yep, based on what I've heard that should be correct!

Now this is more surprising since it's been a while since the previous Alarmo update - happy for those who have it (not me included at least for now, maybe in the future) and fingers crossed we'll see more of such updates!

Not particularly surprising but still, it's always nice when soundtracks get added to Nintendo Music in occasion of game releases (same for the icons and as usual I'll try to get them all) - looking forward to hearing it in game whenever I can play this Switch 2 Edition myself, got the upgrade this morning!

Of course plans can change, but good to hear they intend to continue it for a very long time - personally, I certainly hope that will be the case as people have been asking for something like this for so long (and I'd rather wait to see how the monetization will actually be before worrying about it, as we say here in Italy I'm not "bandaging my head before breaking it")!

Didn't make sense that all the other major markets (maybe also elsewhere, but I'm not sure) had this pricing ever since the start of the Switch 2 gen except for America so I'm glad this has finally changed - physical has additional cost so it's just logical for it to have a higher starting price than digital and I'm saying that as someone who usually goes for the former!

Nice to hear from Hoshino-san not only more about Champions, but also of his own experience with the Pokémon series, his work on Pokkén etc. - looking forward to Champions even more than I already was (regardless of how it will end up being for me personally considering that I'm not as interested in battles as other aspects of Pokémon, it's so cool that we're finally getting such a game)!

Yep, I remember when they announced this in that Japanese Direct - glad to hear that it's now getting released outside of Japan, too (nice that there's also a Collector's for those interested in it, personally I'll consider getting just the game itself at some point)!

Thanks for the review, doubt I'll particularly mind the cons mentioned as much as I can see where you're coming from so I'm looking forward to this even more than I already was - will try to start it as soon as possible after my Japanese copy arrives (even more so to see the difference between the games and the anime which I've recently watched thanks to it being temporarily available on YouTube)!

Great overview trailer (and yep, that weirdness is typical of Tomodachi Life, indeed) - so looking forward to playing it myself starting with the demo as soon as I can and then the full release when my copy arrives!

Honestly, as long as it's overall good if not better when it comes to its usage for the competitive scene and Home users then it's already a win in my book (and I'm saying that as someone not particularly interested in the former and still not using the latter), that's what most were asking for first and foremost - I'll wait to cross that bridge when I come to it about the potential monetization beyond the confirmed Starter Pack and regardless, I'm interested in giving Champions at least a try at some point!

As others have already mentioned when Nintendo Life made an article about the previous Metacritic's annual rankings, Nintendo (and also the likes of Bandai Namco etc.) tend to be lower than other publishers in these because they release more games than most of those - speaking of, Nintendo are actually quite higher this year, last time they were in 22nd!

Love to see also Thai after Polish added to this game just like Bananza (although funnily enough it was the other way around for that) etc. for those interested in or straight up needing it - the change for the Switch 2 Edition specifically seems nice as well and regardless, looking forward to playing that myself as soon as I can!

@BrintaPap People here on Nintendo Life including the review complained also about the exact opposite, the New Horizons Switch 2 Edition not including enough contents precisely because everything that wasn't specific to Switch 2 was released as a free update (and in that case the upgrade costs as little as 5 dollars/euros etc.) - I'm sorry, but I can't help feeling that it's damned if you do and damned if you don't...

@AmplifyMJ Thank you and ha ha, Wonder would be a great game to take a break after Silksong!

Have already seen it mentioned in the forums, what a nice surprise - have just downloaded it (fingers crossed it will soon be available in the US, too) and I'm looking forward to starting the game earlier thanks to this as soon as I can!
