I had drifting joycon issues with my early purchases on Switch1 but interestingly the later switch joycon releases didn't have a drift problem and lasted a lot longer. At least at time of writing. Fingers and toes crossed for Switch 2 joycons!
I actually have it downloaded on my New 3DS XL and its a good, good game. But double dip worthy? Not so sure. Even with "extras" and Switch 2 horsepower visual upgrades. Doesn't necessarily add to that interesting gameplay.
MK World, Deltarune, Nintendo Upgrade packs, Street Fighter 6, Raidou, Welcome Tour, Yakuza 0, Fast Fusion (not necessarily all day one bar MK world of course)
@Zach They'll do the same witn Sonic x Shadow Generations. I would have held off purchasing it on Switch 1 if I knew it was coming to Switch 2 without any upgrade package.
Raidou and Yakuza 0 are insta-purchases most likely. The extra content on Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S actually read pretty neat. Just not £35 "pretty neat"! Maybe one on a deep discount further down the line.
This will do nicely tbf. I'm a bit of a fan of the first iteration from back inn the day and enjoyed the Switch remake. It is pretty much what I expected. Thanks for the review
@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

Thanks for the review.
Re: Mario Kart World Doesn't Include A 200cc Difficulty Mode
I sometimes play 200cc for a laugh. It would be good to re-introduce in the new game. I think it'll come later.
Re: 12 Free Switch 2 Game Upgrades Are Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Please Touch the Artwork 2 is swell too.
That's it.

Looking forward to this. We take this for granted now, but you can also play these on the go.....
Re: Xbox Has Reportedly Sidelined Its First-Party Handheld (For Now)
I was actually interested as to how it'd turn out. I thought it seemed a little over-ambitious for Microsoft. Giving it the big 'un
Re: Sega Says It Will Stop The New Virtua Fighter Project If It's Not "Good Enough"
I am very much up for VF5R on Switch 2.
Re: 'Pinball Spire' Brings "Pinballvania" To Switch Today
I need a review for this but it could well be my kinda thang actually. If it works.
Re: How Well Do You Remember Super Mario Galaxy 2?
Probably my favourite video game of all time. My word what a great time I had on this. My memory detail is Swiss cheese, mind you.
Re: Codemasters Says It Will Look At Switch 2 And See If It's A "Good Fit" For F1 Games
I think we'll b just fine either way 😅🙄
Re: First Impressions: We've Played Three SEGA Games On Switch 2

Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd May (North America)
Monster Train 2 .Onimusha 2. Please Touch the Artwork 2. Most likely insta-downloads.
I really enjoyed the first iterations of each game!
I'll need to investigate the Mobile Suit Gundam game!
Re: Review: Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny (Switch) - A Solid Remaster Of One Of PS2's Best, But Stick To 4:3

Re: Switch 2's News Section Will Reduce Clutter With Individual Account Feeds
I rarely use it to be fair.
Re: 27 Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games We're Excited For In 2025
Outstanding launch window. Majority of those (14 or so?) I am super interested in.
(Defo no upgrading from my PS4 to an expensive PS5 for me for a while)
Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?
Xenoblade Chronicles X has me hooked via our lauch day, OG, Switch 1. So it's getting a good workout still.
Re: Switch eShop Racer 'New Star GP' Unlocks Frame Rate Ahead Of Switch 2's Launch
It was on my wishlist. With this in mind I'll download the game plus update for transference to Switch 2, most likely.
Re: Micro Machines-Inspired Arcade Racer Sets Its Sights On Switch 2 Launch
Looks like my kinda thang. Good trailer tbf as makes one very interested in the game.
Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With New AI-Generated Darth Vader Chats
They're finding new ways to ruin Star Wars.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch 2
@8bitKirby I agree tbf
Re: Here's Your First Look At Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch 2
It's an updated optimization, not an upgrade. As expected. It was okay as a timepass Pokemon game but you'd want a lot more than that from the series!
Re: Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 May Be Heading To Switch 2 Pretty Soon
Surely this is hand in glove for for the NS2. Would play the funk out of it. 😁

Re: Limited Run's Switch 2 Numbered Releases Will Reportedly Include The "Full Game On The Cartridge"
Aren't these guys untrustworthy?
Re: Nintendo Defends Switch 2's Perceived Lack Of Innovation
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
Re: Gearbox's Randy Pitchford Admits Borderlands 4 Might Follow Nintendo's New Pricing
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 How much do you pay for the hardware for other consoles?
Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Has Sold Over 1 Million Copies On Switch
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.
Re: Nintendo Reiterates Plan To Continue Bringing Out "New Titles" For Switch
There will be more Switch 1 games, but there won't be that many IMO
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th May (North America)
