Aren't these guys untrustworthy?

I don't get that argument with regard to innovation

NES-SNES

GB-GBC-GBA

They weren't that innovative.

Also PS consoles and XBOX consoles.

I/we still love most of these

It's rising costs relative to our cost of living. Even in entertainment / gaming.

STILL, I'll probably have much fewer day 1 purchases than the previous gen and wait for discounts/price drops.

I'll be gaming mainly on NS2 and a rickety old PS4 for now clearing a backlog. That is the household and I.

@VoidofLight I see, sorry. As a general question for gamers was my mind's thinking. I agree the costs are silly for NS2 software but hardware costs for all 3, or even 2 of the 3, consoles we are talking about are astronomical in themselves. Particularly so!

I actually couldn't get into the first Fantasy Life game on 3DS, despite appreciating it's a good game. I may well skip this iteration for now and consider it much later on, I'm unsure tbf

@VoidofLight How much do you pay for the hardware for other consoles?

As I enjoyed this on the Wii and the 3DS, I didn't go for the triple dip. It is a superb platformer though. One of the best ever, for me.

There will be more Switch 1 games, but there won't be that many IMO

I'll need reviews to come up with something for me. Nothing for me as of now.

EDIT: Not all necessarily day 1, LOL. Only 5 Switch 2s are day 1. And 2 Switch 1s.

In a technological sense it seems quite interesting. But I can't afford all these hardware costs together with software. LOL

You have yourselves a physicl purchase from myself. Thank you.

Ha ha. This should be interesting. I'll be up for it.

I didn't pick any up. Unusual for me tbh

As someone pointed out these aren't really upgrades. More updates to enable smooth Switch 2 playability with those additional features like GameShare. They're not the LoZ or Kirby upgrades that you have to pay out for. This is another thing that may cause consumers confusion unfortunately

This reviewed well, but didn't get the sales apparently? That true?

The trailer has me intrigued to be honest with you

I love the books and the films. But only a handful or so of the games have been good IMO.

Big Brain Academy was a fun Wii and DS game that was equally fun on the Switch 1 too.

I'm not sure I want to take space up by porting all these to my Switch 2 console. We'll see.

Kirby, LoZ seem to be getting significant upgrades therefore.

I'll take a quality remake of the original. Even a port of the original and the ds game. LOL

So these aren't graphical upgrades like the TLOZ games? I'll obviously gratefully take them.

Switch 2
Mario Kart World
Street Fighter 6 Yr1-2 Ed.
(Pro controller)
(Screen protectors and protective casing!)

Upgrade packs for LoZ games and Kirby.

A bit later on:

Cyberpunk 2077
Yakuza 0
Raidou Remastered
Deltarune 1-4

Nothing for me this week.

High on Life maybe later pending reviews

Your headline is possibly intentionally or unintentionally cheeky in the "oh la la", "Carry On Gaming" sense. Ha ha ha.

Yeah. I remember it being nails but it always drew you back because it was simply a cracking game. Looking forward to reliving it. Ha ha.

A good month. Pretty much all of those are of interest. Some of them already wishlisted.

Mario Galaxy 3.

We've been fed well with Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles and Luigi's Mansion on Switch 1

Smash Bros as well please

Day one if it does come to the Nintendo Switch 2. A fan of the anime and a fair few of the video games.

Pro Contoller, screen protector and carry case. For now. Glad th Switch 1 controllers work on the Switch 2 system. Got the Lexar 1tb micro sd card express too.

I have a PowerA wireless Switch 1 GC Controller already. Hopefully works on Switch 2.

Proper cartridges will be prized purchasein the Switch 2 era. 😅

I need the Switch 1 to store my Switch 1 games! No use in transfering over with the mammoth GIG Switch 2 software! Ha.

I'm no PC game or Steam Deck owner but I respect that region of gaming. Switch 2 all the way for me considering my own household gaming needs. TBF, even as an individual I have never been interested in PC gaming despite dabbling, despite gaming on and off since the Atari 2600 years..... I also therefore have never been interested in the Steam Deck. It has been successful tech unlike the PSP though

@Mushvision Finally amazon uk released the 1TB Lexar microSD express. Amazon US had them from a few weeks ago?

I managed to get a 1TB ex micro sd thankfully. That's going to get eaten up super quick, aint it?

I'm going to purchase this since it is Atlus. I really like their work. Not sure if it'll be NS no.1 or no.2 .....

I liked the original but not sure it's worth a double dip, even if Switch 2 level hd-fied. I may actually have the original downloaded or "archived" on my 3DS? I actually adjusted that feature quite a lot to help the experience and occassional need to grind. Never mind.

I own and have played DNF duel and Chaos Code. Both solid 2D fighters that I'd like to add my voice to the recommendations. Gigabash is on my backlog. My youngest has played it and enjoyed it. Muv Luv and Silt on my wishlist.

I must confess I haven't heard of many of the other games and I like to think I have my finger to the pulse with regard to the Switch eShop.

This is a great feature.

Thank you to all the contributors as well

I think 2S has some cool new modes compared to Switch 1 no.2 apparently. It will be a good purchase download for those who haven't played it before IMO.

Thing is though with the expensive software of NS 2 I can't see me purchasing this till maybe later in the year, if that. This is considering I have the serviceable no.2 (minus some modes that are on 2S) on NS1 already. Lower down on the priority list.

Will be making good use of archiving feature then alongside my lexar express 1tb sd card. Hoh boy....

Got the amazon priced street fighter 6 "physical". I'll probably only get Cyberpunk out of the ones listed in the immediate future.

Insta-download. I like the series as it is and that price has it decided for me.

Nothing for me this week. Will wait for Super Technos World reviews before deciding on downloading that one.

Got mine via the invite scheme. Kart and NS2 bundle baby.

May get this if more and more video games start to use it. Probably won't get it right away.

The Nintendo 3DS & Wii U had an internally built camera....

The 480p makes me wince though, ha.

A fan of the first two like I am of F-Zero GX and Wipeout series.

Insta-download.

Interesting read, thank you.

@Olliemar28 Thank you. Appreciated

Had I known this was coming to the NS2 previously, I would not have bought the NS1 version. I will stick to the NS1 version and just transfer it over. It's very good already. I doubt SEGA do an "upgrade scheme" at a small price.

Surely will come? Diablo III was so good on NS1

Ha ha. Great commercial.

It seemed almost nailed on this would be great considering who was involved with making the game. As expected then! Reads spot on the kind of video game I'd really be into. Insta-downloand. Cheers for the review.

Nothing for me this week. May consider Lunar Remastered further down the line when on sale. I, Robot further down the line too, possibly.

Witcher 4?

Witcher 3 was outstanding. So glad I played it on the Switch 1.

Would prefer games from them we haven't seen already on Nintendo platforms tbh

Playstation and Nintendo serve all players in good ways. Things could be better and prices are getting silly, but it's a good landcape.

The last time something like this happened my pre-order mysteriously changed to "out of stock". I went back on amazon to see the game at a much higher price.
