Seems like a you problem. If there are new Pokemon in a new Pokemon game, I always make a team consisting of only new Pokemon. I have done so since thr year 2000.
I never really cared about single player Bomberman campaigns (unless it's something different like Bomberman Hero) but Super Bomberman 1, 3, 4 and 5 can be played trough in co-op and it makes those experiences better.
It has the hardest Metal Gear fight in series history IMO (on a normal difficulty, did this game even have difficulty options like other Metal Gear games?)
I was actually waiting for this to come out in the 3DS era for Virtual Console but gave up in 2014 and played trough this on an emulator.
@gcunit I remember just holding them up over many, many gaming sessions. My head can take VR pretty well (good example being Iron Man VR on PS4 VR) and I really wanted to beat BOTW in VR as part of my Zelda challenge: beating every main line and spin-off Zelda in all difficulties and game modes available. I remember having fun with this mode as well.
Funny how Super Bomberman 2 and Super Bomberman R 2 are the games in their subseries that don't feature co-op for their campaign modes. If there's ever Super Bomberman R 3 I bet the co-op will return.
Anyways, good to have a western release for Super Bomberman 4 and 5. I played trough those in co-op years ago.
I want art made by humans, not by machines stealing other's art. I know some great comic artist's in my area that say on the topic: "Do you really need AI for inspiration when making concept art? No. Trust yourself, get feedback and improve your skills over time."
Having only one new level for 20€ is way too much. Waiting for a discount but since we are talking about Nintendo, I don't expect it to be more than minus 4€ from the base price... ever.
I hope they add the 2nd Klonoa on GBA later, since I haven't played that one yet.
Although, I have to say: I much preferred Klonoa 1 and 2 on PS1 and PS2 when compared to the first GBA entry. The level design was too blocky for my taste and there was a heavier focus on puzzles rather than tight platforming challenges. Also, the bosses with the zooming effects were something I expected to see in the main levels as well. Klonoa is at it's best when it has nice 2,5D effects in it's level design.
I was prepared for a prerelease tournament next month but I'm happy with the new October release date, since I didn't have anything planned for that spesific day yet (October 5th for us). Lucky me it will be a day after 4th of October, The Comic 24 day (wordwide event held during the first weekend of October, with the goal of drawing a 24 pages long comic in 24 hours).
Funny to see Mega Man 10 mentioned in bad light the review, being actually a great game while Bloodstained CoftM2 is one of the few games ever I regret supporting by purchasing it, even at a massive discount. Game controls are very stiff, the levels are too long, bosses feel very awkward to try to beat with stiff controls like these... I could list more things I hate about this game but we'd be here all day. But hey, you can share the pain with a friend.
If you want an actually great co-op Castlevania experience, just play Castlevania Harmony of Despair (It was actually mentioned in the review!) It's SO MUCH BETTER!
I gotta give some credit for the very unique idea... but:
It wasn't very fun to play and control
Trying perform some of the advanced techniques was weird, sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't even when it felt like I had done the motions the same way both times
Already got to try this for free thanks to playtest and since Nintendo doesn't offer refunds the way Steam does, I'm not dropping any money to this digital only 1st party title
Also: I want the robot wheelchairperson as a playable character for the next Super Smash Bros.
Most artists I know started their careers by making fan art. In fact, many of the younger generation of Pokemon Company workers crew up with Pokemon media and made tons of fan art before getting a job from Pokemon Company.
This comment section has been wild. I'm glad there are still people here on NL that don't just blame fans for drawing fan art.
I'm glad they have a test version for this. Being a download only 1st party title propably means no physical version ever, no good discounts ever and I'm not gonna buy anything from Nintendo's digital stores unless I'm absolutely sure the product is great (like FAST Fusion, one of the best Switch 2 games so far) since you can't get refunds like on Steam.
I've done three star challenges in enough Mario Kart's already. As a game it's way too chaotic with all the items flying around. I play the cups once, then it's time for local multiplayer and online. I'll put more of my energy into titles like F-Zero GX.
I wish Fast Fusion was on the overall best sellers list but at least it's 3rd in the download only category. Still wish it would sell more than Welcome Tour.
As much canon as Age of Calamity? It should have been about a battle you can't win, like Halo Reach. Instead we got an alternative timeline.
I care about stories in my games and since I'm pretty tired of Warriors gameplay loop after four different games, I just might not even borrow thos one.
Ah, Don Mattrick and his out of touch comments. A true classic.
As some people here have already pointed out, Switch 2's case is closer to that of PS1 after the launch of PS2, or PS2 after the launch of PS3, or... (list of every PS home console so far).

Konami making new games that aren't pachinko. Is this reality or just a Fanta sea?

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Announced For Switch 2 And Switch
It took almost 18 years for MGS4 to be ported on other platforms. I have it on PS3 though and I'm not interested in game key card releases.

Not giving any money for Ubisoft for obvious reasons.

Re: Labo VR Will Reportedly Be Compatible With Virtual Boy For Switch Online
Good, that's the only Labo related thing I have (also my most used one essily, since I beat BOTW in Labo vr mode).

Innsmouth was a good choice for launch, it's one of the two Virtual Boy games I've beaten on the original system.

Re: An Overlooked Disney Collection From Digital Eclipse Has Been Rated For Switch
It's kinda ridiculous this came out on everything else but Nintendo Switch back in 2017. You know... these NES Capcom Disney games.
Re: Talking Point: Does It Bother You That Big Games Companies Are Using GenAI?

Re: Mario Kart World "Paid DLC" Would Be A Big No-No, According To Ex-Nintendo Duo
For the asking price, this truly needs to be the biggest damn Mario Kart in history.
In case they decide to ask money for DLC, it needs to be added as part of NSO Expansion, which is like 8,75€ a year with a full family.
