@AussieMcBucket I remember there was a shortage of the physical for awhile. Depending on how many copies were initially sent out, the physical sales could be pretty strong.
I bought it digitally because like Animal Crossing, some days I might only play it for a short while, so it is nice not having to change out the game every time I want to play it.
@MisterMan When I first saw this game, it reminded me of the documentary "Murderball", which I thought was about wheelchair basketball, but after looking it up just now, it is about wheelchair rugby.
Anyway, if Drag X Drive had the official Paralympics license I would have bought it day one. I think it would be cool to play against the different nations.
I love this game, and Bubbly Basin is my favorite town in it by far. The Expansion Pass isn't cheap, but if the other 2 parts are of the same quality, then it will easily be worth the price.
I am jumping ahead, but I am hoping we get a 2nd Expansion Pass at some point.
Special Theme 04: Kirby Special Theme 21: Pokemon Special Theme 27: Xenoblade Chronicles Special Theme 32: Endless Ocean Special Theme 33: F-Zero 99 Special Theme 34: Splatoon
I am especially happy to have the Xenoblade Chronicles theme. Very sad I missed that one the first time around.
@Gavintendo The only workaround I can think of is to create a US account on your Switch and buy it through that. I have no idea how to do that, however.
@Triple_Cherries Yeah, I really want swordplay and frisbee golf. Thumb wrestling seems like a really weird choice. Hopefully additional sports will be added.
I feel lucky that the main website I use for Nintendo information has so many experts 100% confident that Fire Emblem isn't worth $80, even with barely any information on the game being released.

@HamKnight I don't think you will be disappointed! 🙂
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Has Been Updated To Version 4.0.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@HamKnight If it isn't 4K, it is close. I just fired it up and it is beautiful!
The almost non-existent load times are awesome as well!
Re: Community: 32 Switch Games We Missed, As Recommended By You
@ThrakathCZ I was wondering if Atomicrops performance has improved on Switch 2 since your comment here about a year ago?
It looks fun.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Sales Surpass Five Million Units Globally In "Just Over Four Months"
@AussieMcBucket Yes, the micro express! It was a great Christmas!
Re: Feature: One Year On, Is Anyone Still Playing Drag x Drive?
@premko1 Good idea!
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Sales Surpass Five Million Units Globally In "Just Over Four Months"
@AussieMcBucket I got lucky and my Mom bought me a 1 TB SD card for Christmas. 🙂
Having said that, I have filled it more than halfway already.

Re: Feature: One Year On, Is Anyone Still Playing Drag x Drive?
If this goes on sale for $10, I will probably give it a go.

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (North America)
CloverPit for me!
Re: This Balatro-Meets-Slot-Machine Mash-Up Will Eat Our Spare Time On Switch Next Month
@nhSnork Thanks for mentioning "Luck be a Landlord". I had no idea about it and I absolutely love it!
Re: Virtual Boy Cardboard Model Gets A Limited-Time Discount In Select Locations
@Uncle_Franklin Playing in 2D on the TV would be even better, if possible.
Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Characters - Every Hero Revealed So Far
Too bad Fabio isn't wearing his "Ironsword: Wizards and Warriors II" garb. 🙂
Re: This Balatro-Meets-Slot-Machine Mash-Up Will Eat Our Spare Time On Switch Next Month
Finally! I have been hoping this would come to Switch for a while now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (North America)
I took one for the team. Royal Pit is the "best" CloverPit clone/ripoff I have played, but still not anywhere near as good as CloverPit.
Re: Nintendo Store Adds New Splatoon Raiders And Super Mario Rewards
@YoshiAngemon That would be a great one too!
Re: Tetris 99 Discounts 41 Collab Themes In New Limited-Time Event
Wow, I missed more than I thought I did.
Got:
Special Theme 04: Kirby
Special Theme 21: Pokemon
Special Theme 27: Xenoblade Chronicles
Special Theme 32: Endless Ocean
Special Theme 33: F-Zero 99
Special Theme 34: Splatoon
I am especially happy to have the Xenoblade Chronicles theme. Very sad I missed that one the first time around.
Re: Nintendo Store Adds New Splatoon Raiders And Super Mario Rewards
I keep hoping for Zelda metal desktop displays.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (North America)
I wonder if Royal Pit is any good?
I really wish CloverPit would come to Switch, but they don't seem to have any interest in porting it for whatever reason.
Re: 88 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In Nintendo's eShop Summer Sales (Europe)
@Nintoz Balatro Switch 2 Edition has worked perfectly for me since day 1.
Re: Mailbox: The Future Of Smash, Mouse Mode Upgrades, Revolutions - Nintendo Life Letters
A Switch 2 Edition of Smash Ultimate seems like a no-brainer. I'd buy it!
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th July (North America)
I downloaded Culdcept Begins Switch 2 edition right before the sale ended last night.
Will get Go Go Town Switch 2 Edition when I get the money, hopefully soon.
Re: Talking Point: New Ocarina = New amiibo? Nintendo Needs To Make These Zelda Figurines
Ganon in his monster form please!
Re: Cruis'n Blast Has Been Delisted From The Switch eShop
@AussieMcBucket That would be nice, but I don't think any game that was delisted without notice has ever returned to the eShop.
I will be happy to be proven wrong, however. 🙂
Re: Cruis'n Blast Has Been Delisted From The Switch eShop
I hate it when they don't give any warning about a game being delisted.
Give people a heads up and you might even sell a few extra.
Re: 8BitDo Steps Up Its Game With The New Arcade Controller Pro
I really like this, especially with the NES colors. I am anxiously awaiting the price announcement. Hopefully it won't be out of my price range.
Re: Review: Dark Scrolls (Switch) - A Retro-Styled Soulslike Side-Scroller At The Right Price
@Gavintendo The only workaround I can think of is to create a US account on your Switch and buy it through that. I have no idea how to do that, however.
Re: Review: Dark Scrolls (Switch) - A Retro-Styled Soulslike Side-Scroller At The Right Price
@Gavintendo According to Doinksoft on X, it is a age ratings issue why those games can't be included in the UK.
Other regions won't get the games due to the same reason or the games not being available in that region currently.
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Is Getting A Switch 2 Release This September
@JJtheTexan Sonic Crossworlds has an upgrade pack.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th June (North America)
Dave The Diver DLC also came out today.
Re: Minecraft's Chaos Cubed Update Is Now Live, Here Are The Patch Notes
@1Kismet Good to know. Thanks!
Re: Minecraft's Chaos Cubed Update Is Now Live, Here Are The Patch Notes
Is this update available on Switch?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th June)
Mainly playing Wildfrost. Trying to unlock some charms that will hopefully make unlocking some more charms easier.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds The Wii Sports Resort Soundtrack Today
@Triple_Cherries Yeah, I really want swordplay and frisbee golf. Thumb wrestling seems like a really weird choice. Hopefully additional sports will be added.
Baseball would be great as well.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds The Wii Sports Resort Soundtrack Today
@Triple_Cherries Why buy one when you can get 2 at twice the price?
Serious answer: my guess is since this is a Switch 2 release, they included them instead of offering an upgrade pack for the first game.
Re: Vanillaware's Underrated Wii Gem Returns On Switch 1 & 2 Early Next Year
@dartmonkey
Thank you for your sacrifice! 🙂 I have wanted to play this, but didn't want to pay the eBay prices.
Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Price And Box Art Revealed
I feel lucky that the main website I use for Nintendo information has so many experts 100% confident that Fire Emblem isn't worth $80, even with barely any information on the game being released.
It like I just put $80 in the bank!
Re: Select Nintendo Classics Games Might Be Getting Special Challenges Soon
I would like to see the NES Remix games on Switch. Maybe a part of Switch Online like Tetris 99 and F-Zero 99.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct June 2026 Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
@FreasurePlanten Twilight Princess was my first 3D Zelda, so I am probably biased as well.
We got a N64 for Christmas the year it came out, but the 3D made me really nauseous. Luckily 3D games are much smoother now so that I can enjoy them.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct June 2026 Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
Personally, I prefer Twilight Princess to Ocarina of Time, so I would rather see TP. We already have OOT on Switch Online anyway.
A Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma 2 that gets rid of the farming and goes all in on the fighting and exploring.
Mario Kart DLC and Mario Maker 3!
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Season Pass 2 Announced, Includes Six New DLC Packs
@UpsideDownRowlet If Colonel Sanders had a kart shaped like a bucket of chicken, then he would definitely become my favorite! 🙂
Re: Yacht Club Games Teases Some "Very Secret Things" In Mina The Hollower
I have upgraded to Level 3 in all 4 categories, and I am still having a rough time. I must be really bad. 🙂
Re: Vampire Survivors "Wet Update" Is Coming Soon, Here's Everything Included
@Whoever If the mood ever strikes you again, I highly recommend the Castlevania DLC. 👍
Re: Vampire Survivors "Wet Update" Is Coming Soon, Here's Everything Included
@Whoever Have you unl all of the Castlevania characters? It's fun, and they all have different unlock parameters.
Re: Crocs Expands Nintendo Collab With Super Mario Collection This July
There are cool, but I am hoping they come out with Zelda Crocs.
Re: Mina The Hollower Sold 300,000 Copies In Its First Three Days
@Splash_Woman I am going to try this. I am stuck and just keep dying without knowing where to go next. Very frustrating.
Re: PSA: This Is Your Last Chance To Grab The Awesome Arcade Racer 'Horizon Chase Turbo'
@-wc- I have no idea how anything works. 🤷
Re: PSA: This Is Your Last Chance To Grab The Awesome Arcade Racer 'Horizon Chase Turbo'
@Atariboy Good to know, thank you for telling me. Barry also did the soundtrack for 2, so I don't think that is the reason.
Re: PSA: This Is Your Last Chance To Grab The Awesome Arcade Racer 'Horizon Chase Turbo'
@joey302 Sometimes there are improvements playing on a Switch 2, sometimes not. I am not sure why.
I put 2 on my wishlist. I just got Turbo and there is a lot of content to play until I am ready for the sequel.
