I am lucky enough to have played the vast majority of these. Just Card Shark, the Trails game, Volgar II on my wishlist get to download.....maybe it's time!
Switch 1 is heading towards being the 2nd best selling system of all time. It's only common sense to do an "upgraded version" in the Switch 2 with some features that are not currently on any other console system out there at the moment. It's bit like the NES to SNES and GB to GBA upgrades. It's been done before and is common sense. Think the comment was not well thought out. It's like saying PSBOX consoles have little to know identity since their first iterations, which would be balderdash
Reads like a solid metroidvania but not for me I think. Metroidvania have to be compelling for me othewise I don't see them all the way through unfortunately. There are also plenty of those compelling metroidvanias in the eShop sea and probably on my backlog. Cheers for the review
I got the pre-order for my Switch 1 from GAME. I remember driving after work to the local shopping centre where it was located. Good times. That shut down now and it has a set of shelves and one till in a Sports Direct store somewhere near home. Quite sad really. The physical trading where online buyers were misbehaving was good. Goodbye old friend.
I don't currently have a PS5. I didn’t upgrade from PS4 because it has a good enough back catalogue and it was my secondary console. I'll keep my Switch 1 and get a Switch 2 instead. With several members of the household playing the hybrid console it is worth it. The software prices are too high, that's just obvious. You can talk about mostly no microtransactions, but still. As a result I'll probably not go all in at lauch for my own personal "A-Tier" choices of games and jusy concentrate on the "absolute essential, S-Tier choice" purchases. The rest will have to wait till discounted or if retailers start competing against eachother and lowering the price enough for me.
The hybrid console has been a giant of a seller for Nintendo. No way in dell they are dropping that concept after it's success. I love the concept. Also, the console price was about £25-£30 more than expected for me. Maybe in percentage terms that isn't a lot. But the software physical prices are mad at the moment. Hopefully when retailers start competing against eachother they go down. I can see me going mostly digital unfortunately which now goes onto the question of express SD cards. They are NOT plentiful enough at the moment. That will pose a problem! I think it will sell well intially, but I hope it doesn't go the way of the GameCube in terms of sales eventually. That was a powerful console of its time as well. Luckily I don't have a PS5 yet, so I may be able to "afford" it a first
I am happy with GC games coming to NSO on Switch 2. That was major news. However, it'll be disappointing to think we'll probably never get the Windwaker HD port on the Switch 2. It is the definitive edition of the game.
Paying full price for the game again so soon is a no no for me. We have an excellent version on the Switch 1 which has been scored quite highly across the board via reliable reviewers and even generally.
Switch 2 version I'm sure will look really nice but this a little bit taking the micky out of consumers.
How about new games SEGA (Yakuza O, Two Point Museum, Raidou -nice one) or a Nintendo like graphical upgrade pack?
Also, software prices for Switch 2 will be quite high won't they? Between £66-£75!
I always get a protective housing case for my handhelds since the 3DS XL era. I actually might get bothe eventually. One for home general play and one for travelling (with the case). Screen protectors too.
The household have played Mario Kart 8 DX extensively. You'd expect the majority of those tracks to feature again in MKW or at least many new ones appear? No?
I love ShadowxSonic Generations but I'm not buying a Switch 2 version when I can play the Switch 1 version on the same console (?). Yeah, upgraded visuals and all, but it's the stellar gameplay which I love.
Raidou and Yakuza 0 please.
Surely we get the stellar P3Remaster on the Switch 2!
Some real surprises as to the 3rd party ports there. Hopefully we see them soon and well optimized. Silksong, MK World, Kirby announcements and 3D DK were highlights, but a lot a very interesting stuff there.
Not interested as of now in "enhanced visual remasters" of NS1 games.
Could have seen more first party stuff, was surprised we didn't.
Also microSD express cards aren't plentiful and not produced in that high a storage yet.
I must confess as being ignorant to the existence or potential existence of a Borderlands 4. Good news. Not top of my list, but welcome as part of the library to choose from.

Re: Zelda: BOTW Switch 2 Edition Won't Include The DLC, Nintendo Confirms
Already have it but that's a shame.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Donkey Kong Bananza Are In
It looks and reads like Super Mario Odyssey 2 with DK gloriously smashing up the place and precisely 3D platforming. My kinda thang to a tee
Re: Video: Nintendo Today Gives Us Another Look At Zelda: Wind Waker For Switch Online
PowerA GC controller and Wii GC controller with adaptor. That'll do for me in playing this.
Seems there is one game to keep the Wii U for now? Ha ha (along with a handful of others and actual owned VC tbf)

Re: Here's Why Switch 2 Joy-Con And Pro Controllers Don't Have Analogue Triggers
Not bothered at all.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects (March 2025)
Just Breakout Beyond for me. Rift of the Necrodancer and Saga Frontier 2R is on the wishlist for now

Re: Nintendo Download: 10th April (North America)
Star Overdrive when discounted only and I'll go ahead and download the Monument Valley games.
Re: Zelda Wind Waker Switch 2 GameCube Release Doesn't Rule Out HD Port
They will probably also not rule out remasters of other GC games!
Re: Poll: Did You Get A Switch 2 Purchase Invite From Nintendo Yet? (Europe)
Yes. And successfully pre-ordered thankfully.
Good luck to everyone else.
Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?
The Wii U HD version is the definitive version for me. So yes, absolutely. Can't see it happening for some time though.
I agree with bundling it with twilight princess HD (another definitive version).
Re: Some Fans Are Drawing Unfavourable Comparisons Between Switch 2 And Xbox One
The equivalent xbox iteration sold poorly in comparison to the Switch though?
The positives outweight the negatives.
Interesting article though. Bit funny too.
Re: My Nintendo Adds A Switch 2 Reward (North America)
Why do I see an inevitability in this? 😆
Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 'GameCube Controller Adapter' Compatibility Confirmed
I have the PowerA wireless one for Switch 1 and the Wii GC controller with the 8bitdo adapter. Hopefully I'm good.
Re: New Ridge Racer & Unreleased Retro Studios Project Crop Up In Leaked Switch Dev Kit
Yes a new ridge racer game would be welcome
Re: "Nothing's Perfect" - TOTK Might Still Struggle On Switch 2, If You're Building Crazy Mechs
Not bothered. It will obvs still look and play stellar
Re: Upgrade Pack Price For Zelda: BOTW And TOTK Has Been Confirmed
I may buy them outright at that price.
Re: Review: Rift Of The NecroDancer (Switch) - Imagine If Guitar Hero & Ikaruga Made A Baby
TBF, it's a good Indie series and this is no surprise. I don't think I'll DL it until later on and with a discount mind you. Too much to play.
Cheers for the review.
Re: The Switch 2 Won't Have Achievements Or eShop Music
I'm not chuffed with achievements. eShop music would have been sweet, but hey ho

Re: Mario Kart World: Course List - Every Confirmed Track

Both look sweet. Especially MKW of course!
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Game Upgrade Pack Prices Seemingly Revealed (Japan)
That seems okay. I got it wrong before thinking we had to buy an entirely new game. I have some things to finish off in TOTK despite "completing it".
Re: Sega Announces Five Titles For Switch 2 "Launch Window"
I love ShadowxSonic Generations but I'm not buying a Switch 2 version when I can play the Switch 1 version on the same console (?). Yeah, upgraded visuals and all, but it's the stellar gameplay which I love.
Raidou and Yakuza 0 please.
Surely we get the stellar P3Remaster on the Switch 2!
Re: Oops, Yoshi's Woolly World Featured In Switch 2's "Compatible Switch Games"
We will need the extra content from the 3DS version to make it definitive and worthy of a double dip
Re: Bravely Default Is Finally Freed From Its 3DS Prison, Coming To Switch 2 At Launch
I liked the game on the 3DS. I'm not sure I want to double dip though. It's good, but not THAT good
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade Is Making The Leap To Switch 2
Insta-buy. Awesome news
Re: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Arrives On Nintendo Switch 2 This September
Yeah. Couldn't get into the demo of the firsy game. Would have loved a proper mech game which it seemed at the time. Will monitor its sequel though.
Re: Nintendo's Switch 2 'Game-Key Cards' Somehow Manage To Make Codes-In-A-Box Worse
Not buying physical for this. Ridiculous
Re: Yakuza 0: Director's Cut Is Exclusive To Nintendo Switch 2
Fantastic stuff. Almost definitely an insta-buy
Re: Capcom's Fantastic Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess Hits Switch 2 On Launch Day
Wow. Another gem getting ported.

Re: Donkey Kong: Bananza, A New 3D DK Adventure, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
3D platforming DK is back for the new gen?! What?! I'd do a Diddy Kong summersault if I could.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
Did not play as much of it as I should have back in the day. Redemption awaits. Good news again.

Re: Deltarune Chapters 3 & 4 Arrive On Switch 2 Launch Day
It's good this project will still be going into the next gen. Can purchase as 1-4 as well?!
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
Woah. Great news. Thought Nintendo had forgotten about them or were just going to shelve them in favour of remastered editions
Re: James Bond Will Return To Nintendo Switch 2, IO Interactive Confirms
I'll need more info and footage on these before consideration. Interesting news again, though
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Confirmed For Nintendo Switch 2
Good news. I like the series. I like also where is it set in the timeline before TOTK as well.
Re: Street Fighter 6 Is Heading To Switch 2 With New Game Modes, amiibo & More
Excellent news. As big as the MK World announcement for me!
Re: Elden Ring Coming To Switch 2
Very, very interested!!!
