@HammerGalladeBro These are just Sega's "launch window" games for Switch 2. Keep in mind, the system launch is June and right now CrossWorlds doesn't even have a release date.
I will add, this is going to be quite the year for arcade racing fans with Mario Kart, Sonic and also Kirby now!
@LadyCharlie Yes, it will be a toggle and runs locally - so you can have it activated while playing with others in the same server who don't have it activated.
@drypaphmrbro We can use different images on certain parts of our profiles. This throwback to Animal Crossing was made by a friend a long time ago (as far as I remember) - so it's kind of special, and I like being able to show it off on NL.
@Markiemania95 Fair point, updated! I was trying to factor in Hamster's Arcade Archives collection currently available on Switch, but I guess it also offers "first-party" Nintendo games. I bought 'Donkey Kong' the other month.
@obijuankanoobie As noted in the update here, Digital Eclipse has confirmed there's no physical release coming in 2024. It hopes it can do a physical release in 2025, but isn't sure just yet.
@-wc- We try to keep headlines as short as possible, and when I was workshopping this one, there were some formatting issues. I've managed to shoehorn his full name in now!
We also strive to use our tagline and tags on articles effectively.
In this case, Reggie's name was originally mentioned in both of these sections, so readers were given an immediate understanding of who we were referring to in the headline. This is also reflected on our social channels like FB.
@IceEarthGuard Yeah, as noted in the story, the ESRB rating said the same thing for Mario Party Superstars and it never got paid DLC. And as SillyG mentions, it could just be a reference to NSO.
@Devann As mentioned in our linked story dating back to Feb 2023:
"After the server shut down on 6th June 2023, Velan will be releasing a standalone player-hosted version of the game for Windows PCs - so even after the servers go offline Knockout City can continue to be enjoyed by fans."

Re: Did Donkey Kong Bananza Key Art Accidentally Leak A Big Surprise?
@N00BiSH You're not the first - it's definitely a common theory as @FishyS mentioned:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-koreas-website-seems-to-spoil-a-huge-detail-about-donkey-kong-bananza.1156071/page-3#post-138092790
I'll always credit an NL user if they appear to have shared something (or a theory like this) first.
