I can’t believe we have to wait until next year to receive more games.

Maybe K Rool’s VA is in the MKW credits because he voices other stuff in the game? Why would he already be in the credits for a DLC that hasn’t been revealed? It makes no sense.

I’d say times are different, and that Prime 1 wouldn’t get a 97 today, but holy crap I didn’t realize the remastered version got a 94. Should I cope further and say that nostalgia carried it? Because I’m shocked Prime 1 gets a 94 today while Prime 4 is on the cusp of 79. I wonder what’s so different about it that the review aggregate has fallen so much? I have to play this for myself and find out.

Slightly related, but Nintendo just put up 7 tracks from Prime 4 on their music app.

@Wood_Stick On one hand, Nintendo could have Retro go straight into another 3D Metroid while they’re hot off Prime 4 and prob knock it out in 2-3 years.

One the other hand, if Prime 4 doesn’t sell well, Nintendo will likely shelve 3D Metroid for some time. Pretty sure we’ll get another 2D Metroid though. Dread sold at least 3 million.

The Switch 2 version was never meant to look different. It’s a Legends ZA situation—simply higher framerate and resolution. If Nintendo decides to make a Prime 5, (which they probably won’t) I’d expect them to focus more on graphics next time, and make a 1080p-1440p 60fps or 4K 30fps game.

Truthfully, I’d like to see Retro make something else. Whether they go back to 2D DK, the cancelled platformer, or some other IP, I’m sure they’ll do great.

@Metaphor1987 People are freaking out over nothing, but the patch notes were not clear with their wording. They should have specified Switch 1 carts being used on a Switch 2 will show the S2 Edition upgrade in the main menu.

I’ll probably get the Switch version. 60fps is enough for me.

I hope I enjoy it more than Prime 1. I occasionally got lost/stuck and had to look up guides. If Prime 4 is easier to follow and doesn’t have a collectathon end quest, I’m set.

@UpsideDownRowlet Big updates are usually reserved for .5 and .0. Let’s see what they do for 1.5.

This game could really use more costumes for certain characters like DK and Pauline. I also want them to simplify the character select screen. Skins should never count as separate character slots.

I guess Samus didn’t take off her suit if reviewers are disappointed by the ending.

@larryisaman I don’t usually click on sales chart articles because they rarely interest me, but I’ve noticed that the UK is obsessed with sports videogames. I remember seeing those games reign supreme over there even during the previous generation. Everyone’s got their cultural tastes, but it’s interesting to see them gobbling up EA’s loot box-infested yearly releases like candy.

Not surprised. All they play is EA slop.

We need updates for more Nintendo games like Xenoblade.

Acquire Grezzo next.

Once my Pro Controller gives out, I’ll get the Pro 2. I like using it for PC gaming, but I hate that Steam Client doesn’t accurately translate the original button layout. On an Xbox controller, A is A, B is B, X is X and Y is Y. However, on a Switch controller, B is the new A, A is the new B, Y is the new X and X is the new Y. The in-game button prompts are correct, but the layout is flipped from what the devs originally intended, and that irks me so much. B and A I can understand, but there’s no reason to flip X and Y.

Also, I’m confused with the wording of the GameCube compatibility. What is Wii U mode??

A year from now, we’ll be enjoying Gen 10. It’ll be a crazy system seller. I expect Mario in 2027 and Zelda in 2028.

Gosh I love the pink color overlay. Wish I could use it across the site. I get Nintendo is red but I prefer other colors.

@Joekun Dang, that sucks. I know that you can enable a center dot and turn off settings like motion blur, chromatic aberration, fish lens, widen/minimize the field of view, and slow the camera movement/acceleration in the Remake games to help with that.

@ATMVF I recently played through Village. Great game, but not as scary/unsettling as 7. And hey, it’s totally okay to play these games in easy/assisted mode! I’ve done it multiple times and enjoy those runs as much as (if not more than) the harder ones

I’m sure one will come out soon after release.

Requiem has the same director as RE7. So if you enjoyed 7, you’ll probably enjoy 9.

@Axecon They can’t make the first ever Zelda film and not have Ganondorf in it!

Table-top mouse mode has always sounded uncomfortable af to me. You have to play wirh horizontal joycon with buttons on the side instead of on top like an actual mouse or keyboard. And with a game like Resident Evil, I believe the devs when they say that the button layout was too awkward to work. Gyro is perfectly fine.

Also, I fully believe Capcom is sitting on a Leon Kennedy amiibo alongside Grace.

Is the whole point of region-locking it so that overseas people don’t gobble them up for cheap? I know that a Japanese region lock means you can’t use NTSC—U or PAL carts, but surely you can make regional Nintendo accounts, and buy those versions digitally, no?

Also, don’t most games offer language and/or subtitle settings? Unless Japan versions don’t. (EDIT: dmcc0 says that they typically don’t.)

His voice actor is going to make or break him. Also, I hope there’s a scene where Mario has to ditch Yoshi for a high/long jump, would be a funny reference.

I’d like Crash 5 please 😭

@Friendly I love Awakening, but it was the start of a new shift for the FE franchise. But I’d rather have this timeline than be in the one where Awakening doesn’t sell and the franchise gets shelved.

@Potimarron Thanks, but I figured it didn’t matter that much and just stuck to the overall message itself.

I would like to see new a IP from Nintendo that’s not a multiplayer game. 1-2 Switch, ARMS, Snipperclips, Splatoon, and Drag x Drive are new IP, but they’re meant to be played with other people. That Minecraft-like game they’re making will likely also be multiplayer in nature. Whereas the latest single player IP we’ve got from them was Pushmo for 3DS and Ring Fit for Switch. I’d like to see more more new single-player experiences.

Happy birthday. Thanks to all members of the team who keep this site going.

Yamauchi: ”Stay humble. Keep your feet on the ground and do the right thing.”

Miyamoto: “Sorry, I can’t hear you over all these Switch 2 sales.”

$30 DLC not even 2 months after release. This is cut content, just like Bananza’s.

@Markiemania95 Thanks for the info. Just as I was about to contact Nintendo Support, I booted up my 3DS and tried inputting a few passwords. Turns out it was MarioSonic1 😂 I now changed my password and email.

On another note, I can’t see any of my Switch play activity, even though the console is linked to my account. Is anyone else having this issue?

Heck, they don’t even have to acquire devs, just make exclusive deals like they’re doing with Duskbloods.

My NN account is permanently lost, as I don’t remember my password, and the email I had on there doesn’t exist anymore 😂

Edit: By the powers that be, I guessed the right password lmao. My account lives to see a new day.

Unfortunately, I could see Nintendo raising the price of NSO in the future. I really hope not. I already don’t like paying for online, but $20 a year isn’t that bad compared to PlayStation’s $80.

A proper Pokemon movie has the power to outdo Minecraft. (I don’t count Detective Pikachu, that’s more of a spin-off.)

Also I just freaking know that rascal Miyamoto is clamoring for a Pikmin movie. I wouldn’t be opposed to it though.

I would personally love to see a Punch Out movie, with DK as the career-ending opponent.

@UltimateOtaku91 @antlion @OorWullie @electrolite77

I’d just like to see Nintendo get weird this gen and make unique games that can’t be bought off the Switch 1 library. Bananza and Air Riders are exactly that. Age of Imprisonment is on the fence—on one hand you get to experience Zelda’s story from TOTK, but on the other hand it’s the 3rd game in the Hyrule Warriors series, the previous two available on Switch 1. I can’t say anything about Splatoon Raiders till we see more, but it sounds like a unique experience so far. (Mario Kart had a chance to be unique with the open world aspect, but that mode turned out to be half-baked.)

All this is to say that I don’t simply want Odyssey 2, BOTW 3, Mario Maker 3, etc. I want Nintendo to put on majora’s mask and go wild.

Actually insane that it has sold 10M with such few 1st party offerings.

I’m not very confident Nintendo will have enough compelling software for 2026. So many of their staple franchises have gotten Switch 2 editions that it makes you wonder when we’ll get true sequels. Like it’s great that Animal Crossing got a sizable update, but does this mean the next one is still a few years away? I hope not. Nintendo is running out of high-profile remaster material too. (TTYD should have been saved for the Switch 2 honestly.)

I just hope Fire Emblem and Gen 10 won’t be the only notable things to look forward from Nintendo.

@Samick In LM1 you save by talking to a Toad or capturing a Boo. If you’re lost or need to save, use your game boy horror on a mirror, and you’ll be sent to the foyer of the mansion where a toad will be. Or if NSO has save states for GameCube, then you can use that too.

That’s a lot of effort for a game that was only available for 6 months. Maybe they’re gearing up for a re-release.

Not sure what the point of a show is if there isn’t a game to go along with it. Last I heard, Crash 5 was cancelled.

If I had a Switch 2, I’d get this game before Mario Kart. You can tell that the Air Riders devs put a lot of thought and care into it.

In classic Sakurai fashion, I expect post-game patches to balance the riders/vehicles/items in the event something is too powerful.

I want to see Sakurai continue making new games like he did with Air Riders and Kid Icarus. He’s too talented to be delegated to only Smash. I really hope he finds someone who can direct the series. Smash is becoming less appealing the older I get, so I’m all for these passion projects of his.

@Friendly I’m pretty sure TPC is preventing the old pokemon games from appearing on NSO. They would rather release them individually like they did in the 3DS eshop.

Nintendo can’t stop Luigi from humping furniture this time around.

Enjoy y’all, this is one of the best games ever made. LM2 and 3 don’t even compare. I only wish someone would decompile/recompile it so we could enjoy it at 60fps in widescreen.

@westman98 It’s only a shock that it’s a second direct of a game that he already went into depth with with the previous direct.

Maybe he’ll smash-ify it and reveal a preorder bonus or a Riders pass with new characters and tracks.

60 minutes? I’m convinced it’s not just Kirby Air Riders but Smash Air Riders. This must be the reason Mario Kart World didn’t take the Smash Kart route, because Sakurai decided to do it.

For real, I have no idea what else he could be hiding. Doubt it’s a story mode.

I don’t own the game. This is the first big pokemon game I’m skipping. I have SwSh, S/V, Let’s Go and Arceus, but I’m not feeling the effort from Gamefreak with ZA.

So 2027 will be the year of Amy.

@parkerdeal if the Switch 1 version has framerate dips, then the Switch 2 will clean them up. It will still be 30fps though.
