This game is cool, and I know a lot of people sink hundreds of hours into it, but my farm addiction game is Farm Together. That is SO good, and so underrated. I’ve put hundreds of hours into that one and still can’t put it down! Farm Together 2 is also fantastic!

I see no difference whatsoever. I was wondering if it’s just my old eyes or what but several others said they can’t tell a difference either. Definitely not worth the upgrade price to me, personally.

Farming games are no more abundant than racing games, shooting games, RPGs, etc. Not sure why all the dislike here. The game looks good to me. I’d get it.

These would be perfect freebies for a McDonalds happy meal. Charging $22 for these is painfully insulting.

What has happened to humanity that this is the only kind of games people are interested in now? Or is it just NintendoLife? The ones that make bestseller lists for actual sales are vastly different than these games, so something here doesn’t add up.

I’m playing steam deck and 3DS this weekend.

I like Nintendo Music, I actually use it a lot. But I’d like the soundtracks for all the Animal Crossing games (aside from the ONE they added - New Horizons). And some SquareSoft games of old would be cool, like Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy, etc

Welcome to RumourLife, formerly known as NintendoLife.

I think someone should update the title of the free title update because the title is unclear of what title is getting updated.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, Nintendo released a series of Pokémon cartoons including the iconic I Choose You, on GameBoy Advance cartridges. You could watch them anytime, anywhere, with zero advertisements or wireless connection. Sure the visual quality was not great since it was 20 years ago on a low power/resolution system, but that was back in the days when entertainment actually was a priority over profit. Good times! Other companies released cartoons on GBA too, such as Disney, Strawberry Shortcake, and more.

No matter how much you polish it, promote it, or push it, this is quite possibly the worst lineup ever.

Stuff like this makes me think Nintendo’s best days have come, and gone.

Wait, Bandai Namco put this on a cartridge but not Tamagotchi Plaza? Why?!

None of the games in that list interest me. I’d rather see games like Animal Crossing (yes I know that’s first party), and Style Savvy (an all new one or a 3DS one ported to switch 1 or 2), a PopCap games collection with Bejeweled, Bookworm, Peggle, and more. I’d also like to see a new Clubhouse Games (yes, again, I know, first party game). But I’m sure the only game they will mention that interests me is another look at Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar.

Where’s the option for “no, I forgot all about it when they said we had to pay for the switch version”?

That’s great, really, but what about Bejeweled, Bookworm, Peggle, etc?!

When this ends up on clearance and STILL doesn’t sell, maybe, just maybe they will figure it out lol. No one wants key cards!

I’m still amazed that rumors are top news stories on this site

@Markatron84 I’ve been on the internet since before it was even called the internet. But people back then or even just 10+ years ago had at least some integrity.

It shouldn’t surprise me but it still does, how few people have integrity in this day and age. If someone asks you to respectfully keep a secret, why is it so hard to do that?

Cute but there’s actually portable fans these days that have rechargeable power banks in them at stores like Five Below if you live in the USA, but I’m sure other stores have similar items. There’s also headband style neck fans, water misting fans, and other useful ways of staying cool that simply take batteries (or charge in some instances). They would be far more practical than ruining a $500 console. As a bonus, if you have a regular fan (any size) pointed at you AND your system while you play (in handheld mode), it will actually keep your system cooler without needing to run its own internal fan, and preserve your battery life a bit during that play session. I do this all the time, and have for many years!

I have this lovely new switch 2 system and only one new game for it (Mario Kart World), and I just can’t play that more than a half hour at a time, so I decided to go back a couple generations and whip out the trusty 3DS and start a whole new game of Animal Crossing New Leaf, which has been absolutely delightful to play. It reminds me of all the giant omissions in New Horizons and how this New Leaf game IMO is vastly better in nearly every way. Also been playing a bit of Pokémon Rumble World on the side because that’s installed on the 3DS I’m playing ACNL on. I always loved that Pokémon game too. So, while I wait for new casual/cozy games to arrive on switch 2 I’m actually quite content now with my oldies.

I thought multiple switches were damaged, not just one. Either way it’s nice they are donating the proceeds to charity but I’m not sure this effort will remove the tarnish from their image.

I love mine much more than I thought I would. The battery has been excellent, the screen is excellent, it’s clear, vivid, and huge! The controllers work very well and are comfortable to use. I have no complaints whatsoever about the system itself. I do wish Nintendo had released a variety of games at launch, particularly for the cozy gamers because we really had nothing for our new system. Ideally a new animal crossing game would have been the way to go. Fortunately the system is backwards compatible so I’m using it with my older games which look outstanding on this new big screen! It breathes new life into those old games!

I still think it should have been free/included with the system. Or if they want us paying for it, add twice as many games on it, and sell it for $30 on a cartridge. They could call it “Welcome Tour - Expanded Edition” and just sell the basic one for $10 on eShop too.

The greatest revival they hope for will be squashed if they release game key cards. Make these games fully physical and the revival wishes will become a dream come true. Of course good quality games are a requirement too, but hopefully they know that!

This looks really cute but it should be a puzzle/bubble bobble game instead where you can play both games. I prefer puzzle bobble (aka bust a move), but I don’t mind bubble bobble.

Here’s my beef about this article. I disagree. Instead, every game should have a snowman. They are cool.

Snowman and Boo are my absolute favorites 😍

This is the best news I’ve seen all week. I hope these third party companies that are trying to force us to buy their stupid game key cards are getting a clue. No one wants that junk!

This is a cute and fun facet to the game but it makes me think of how I wish they’d offered this type of photography option in Pokémon Snap on switch. Where you could freely explore and get the photos you really wanted.

I kinda feel like this Nintendo’s way of saying “yes we know a Switch DS is what you really wanted/needed but since that would cost more to make, here is your hillbilly version, use your own second screen and pretend it’s a DS!”

It reminds me a lot of Go Vacation, which I love, so it’s been fun for me.

Yes but only because I’m very good at playing but I’m also tired (and old) so it’s a one time thing for me.

Straight out of the box the battery drained ultra fast. After charging it to 100% I’ve noticed it drains about the same as my standard (2019) switch 1 or my new switch lite. I’m getting about 4-6 hours on average between charges on my switch 2 so far. I’m satisfied with that.

I’ve had this happen with FedEx, UPS, and USPS multiple times every year with packages of all sizes and values. I’ve sent my security camera videos to the delivery services and reported these incidents and shown them photos of the damage. They do absolutely NOTHING about it, the same people that do these things still continue to deliver and damage items, and the couriers always say if items are damaged, contact the shipper because the couriers accept no responsibility. This is why companies like Nintendo need extreme padding and protection in their game system boxes. They have no idea what’s going on in the real world. I was forced to have my switch 2 delivered because my local stores had none in stock. The shipping box was crushed and the console box was damaged as well, so obviously there was some brutality happening to mine too. Thankfully the box wasn’t crushed in the area where the screen was. Only the side with the controllers.

The news headline you’ll never see: “Nintendo Rewards Gamers For Breaking Sales Records By Making Welcome Tour Free For Everyone”

The PWM on their cheap OLED screen was absolutely sickening in the worst possible way, resulting in guaranteed 3-5 day severe migraines after playing. If they had used OLED on the switch 2 I would have absolutely never considered getting one. Thankfully they used a high quality IPS LCD which has zero flicker and is vivid, sharp, and very easy on my eyes. I have seen none of this blur mentioned here. Maybe the “lottery” was in my favor. But my switch 2 has a better screen than any other electronic device I have, including my steam deck.

Was this issue addressed in the welcome tour that you have to pay to use? lol

Hello Kitty Island Adventure plays so much like this game but it is tremendously better in every possible way. And it’s available in a physical format with all the extra stuff included on it, instead of buying DLC!

Beyond the fact this should be free, it should have just been included on the system straight out of the box, like Mii Plaza, Face Raiders, AR Games, etc was on the 3DS.

Everything about GameStop is an idiot factory, however, the way Nintendo packs this console in the box is extremely concerning. Compare that with how the steam deck, for instance, is packaged when purchased from Steam… that it ships safely within its own carry case (that Nintendo makes you buy yourself for their system), and the carry case with steam deck inside is shipped inside a cardboard box as well. So why would Nintendo put their console, that costs this much, right under a flimsy cardboard lid with NO protection?? Don’t they understand that millions of people will be getting these delivered via courier services that seem to play football with their parcels considering the condition they often arrive in!

Roughly 2000 people, polled here but globally as this is a global website, have committed to buying this on/near launch day. That’s actually a pretty small number. So does that mean they won’t be selling out this system after all, or that Nintendo Life has a small audience? 🤔 or perhaps people are already in line at the stores and don’t have time to bother with being online?

What will be interesting is how many people will say it’s worth $80 after they have purchased and played it. Most notably the ones that didn’t get the digital version packed in with the switch. Which is really what the game should cost - $50 - because at the end of the day, it’s still just Mario Kart. And it should be $50 for the physical game, not a digital one bundled with the system.

That actually looks really cute. I’d get it.

Nintendo is one of the largest companies in the world. Wouldn’t it have made sense to just make enough supply to meet demand? Or do they not have the ability? 🤔

@ItsATM I honestly do not like any of those games.

Well, now that we know there’s all those tiny people running around inside your switch 2, please be gentle with your system.

I have 192 actual PHYSICAL switch games right now, and more on the way. I own 7 switches including 2 switch lites, an OLED, 3 neons, and the blue/green animal crossing switch. The only thing I’m bidding farewell to is digital gaming. My collection will live on and be played as long as I’m alive.
Also I’m still playing my 3ds, DS, GBA, GameBoy Classic/Color games regularly too. Why do people think that if you get something new then everything old has to be gotten rid of. I hope you don’t use this reasoning if you have multiple children too!

I wish they’d put something good on there like animal crossing.
