@DemonKow If that doesn't get me, the tiger sharks or octopus will!

This sounds like a threat.
Weren't we traumatised enough as children?

Japan leans a bit too far into the Snow storm concept.
I.e...you won't see much in one!

Finished Valiant Hearts: Coming Home yesterday. Going to start A SHORT HIKE today. Both picked up in the recent e-shop sale. Hopefully I like it!

Have a good weekend!
And an extended one to us in the UK!

Ubisoft get a lot of crap thrown at them, but I still respect them for Child of Light & Valiant Hearts. Both wonderful games and not their normal output really. I know they do not really have interest in making more like this, which is a big shame.

The obession with UbiSoft Connect or whatever it is can wither and die though. I don't want games that rely on an internet connection to just play!

So, to answer the question, I have no interest in any Ubisoft franchises coming to Switch 2 that I can think of, less the canned CoL sequel gets a greenlight and they move onto the 2nd World War with a 3rd Valiant Hearts game. Neither seem likely to me.

@Kriandis "I have played games since the Odyssey, and I have more than enough physical back catalog games to keep me busy for 2 to 3 lifetimes."

So, since 2017 then?

New? No.
Unboxed 2nd hand dirt cheap on ebay? Might do.

I was interested in Capcom Collection 2 for Powerstone 1+2, but won't bother now. Learnt it is not the Dreamcast version with the shop and adventure mode

@Pizzashapes Sounds like you are now lost to the cause

More Paper Mario please!
More Yoshi please!
More Kirby please!

I am interested to see a new Animal Crossing too as had not played one since the GC version, which I loved very much. So, that too!

I would like to get a Switch 2 first.....
But you know....no pre-orders left at Argos

Lol.
He is working on a big game for them as Director, but forget about letting him actually have one just like that! XD.

@beltmenot Thank goodness. Neither do I. I know people find that so odd, but I just see people transfixed and it makes me sad. I still use a Nokia phone.

I follow their X and Youtube and visit here daily. I feel that does it for me just fine without the need it.

@gaga64 Ah, good. Long as you are aware then. Never beat it because of them! It would probably scare me if I played it now too! I remember the instruction manuel was very creepy too, with super gory pictures of the enemies drawn in detail...like that flying eyeball.

@gaga64 That game scared me so much as a kid on the Nes. I HATED it when day turned to night in a town! Also, it was years later I learnt the village folk told lies! I would do things or go places they said and go mad never understanding it. It is actually fiendishly funny they did it really, but can't think how we were meant to ever figure that out!

Valiant Hearts: Coming Home. Got it in the recent sale. Loved the first one. Very interesting game for anyone into world war history. Will play more of that, but also going to pick up my reserved copy of Anthony Horowitz's new book at the library, so a lot of that too really.

I got a SHORT HIKE (not yet played) and VALIANT HEARTS COMING HOME in this sale! @:~)

A pro Nintendo stance on a Nintendo site.
Here here.
Good show.

@CaleBoi25 It is true. And it was wonderful.

"Worst bit:
Watching the little Pikmins' spirits leave their bodies as they drown en masse"

This is why I can't play the games anymore. I had 1 and 2 on Gamecube, and really enjoyed them.....but this part puts me off getting into the series again. You are hardier than I...

Japan.
I love Pikmin, but them being eaten puts me off playing the games ever again since 2. They have little Pikmin souls! I feel too sad! So, don't need the trauma! Lol.

@Jiggies "1 hour and a half for a 10 turn game in Jamboree is just insane to me."~~~ I've not played it, but can I ask how this is possible? What makes it so long? You would have played an entire 20 round go by then in the N64 Games!

Won't be for me after all, but very happy that so many people are excited for it. I was hoping for a story mode I guess. I appreciate and respect Mario Kart, and love to see people loving it. I am just not good at racing games and don't do much for me. I am banned on medical grounds to even attempt learning to drive, so maybe I am just not that inclined to anything driving related I guess.

I am happy with the Mario Kart games I have on NSO should I feel the need.

I do feel a bit sad though, as everyone here will all be playing together! Hopefully there will be another game I can play with some people here that takes my fancy. I would really like that. I don't get to play with anyone these days.

@Colonel1000 Glad I was not the only who got that feeling from her comments! Especially as her company is still in the process of getting a Dev kit!

"That does this mean specifically? Well, you don't have access to stuff like Power Stone 2's Adventure Mode and Item Shop, which kinda sucks"

Ohh....that kind of puts me off buying. I was only considering for Power Stone 1 and 2...and that part was a big part of my love for the Dreamcast game.

All this effort and they might MIGHT earn 100-200 pounds, for only a very short potential window. I hope people who did it for that and didn't actually want the console are stuck with it.

Gamecube got my vote. SA2B and Luigi's Mansion being my personal favourites and the ones I picked up (SA2B weirdly came out weeks before in the shops! You could buy a copy and do nothing with it!). Great selection for a lot of people. At the time, as there was no Mario game though, a lot of felt it was a let down. Time has obviously been kinder to the younger brother's reception though.

Also, Smash Bros Melee followed just a fews later!

@andyg1412 Oh, goody. Thanks for that

But it won't get him one any faster.....

@Spider-Kev That is fine if so, as I do. Hope it is as simple as that.

If we move our games from Switch to Switch 2, does the save data go with it?
If we upgrade a Switch 1 game to a Switch 2 special version, do we also keep save data?

How are they still earning anything?

Out of stock on Argos before I could complete the order. I got to the point where it let me choose my Nectar points as partial payment, but then it kept messing up and said contact support. Tried that...kind of useless AI bot didn't understand. By the time I got out of that they were gone.
Why give the option if it won't work? Can you not use them for a pre-order? Hm.

@splinters Good point! Thank you.

Ahh.
I don't know whether to get the Mario Kart bundle or not. I am not the biggest racing game fan...and really not very good at them, especially playing against others online. I have never bought a Mario Kart myself, but like it fine when I have played with others, but feel I am missing out if I don't. Ah. Not sure.

On the list to be notified for Argos getting more, but nothing so far.....

Not seeing myself getting one for a while at this rate.

@HugoGED Very much so. Feels more like a Horror! Even Resident Evil like to a little degree. I loved 3 as well though, but never played 2. Not sure if it would be like playing number 3, but just not quite as good?

This game was properly creepy (and wonderful). I feel it was scarier than 3. I remember it being a lot darker visually too, which added to it. Looking forward to this coming to NSO. Still have it on GC, as got it as my launch title with SA2B, but to not have to set it up again to have a playthrough will be great!

@Johnno137426 Me! Minus expansion pack though...£37.99 for the game alone.

Phew. Would not have minded music, as others have said, it somehow linking to the music app would be cool, but not the end of the world, but I am glad that there no are achievements. I feel plenty of games offer them in their own right, such as getting 100 percent in a Kirby game, or finding all stars/moons etc etc. Sorry if you wanted them, but that whole trophy stuff is a nightmare for people with OCD. It wouldn't be fun for me, just stress....which is not why I play games!

Mario Kart World and then DK. Art is on point and packed for them!

Does anyone know....if we buy an upgrade pack to a Switch game via a download, and we have the original cart already, will we always need that Switch 1 cart? Or could it then be sold and you can play without it now?
For a second I thought I could buy the Kirby upgrade pack and then sell my Switch 1 cart.

Probably not though.

Does anyone know....if we buy an upgrade pack to a Switch game via a download, and we have the original cart already, will we always need that Switch 1 cart? Or could it then be sold and you can play without it now? Because it is sounding like not....

@Hero-of-WiiU Same. Unless they incorporate a Nintendo Switch 2 Game voucher scheme (surely needed more than ever now?), what would have been a 'Yes, think I will get that one at 40 pounds and treat myself' will become incredibly selective.

@Dartmonkey - I think we forgot WWE 2k25?

Mario Kart World is a maybe for me, if I manage to get in a bundle. Not a fan of racing games, but have enjoyed previous MK games. Never owned one though so a bit unsure. The def for me were Kirby Forgotten Land Upgrade and The Gamecube NSO at this stage. Kirby Air Riders is also a maybe for me! Again, love Kirby, but possibly too racing orientated for me! Will see how it goes though.

"I don't like playing games on my PC, and if I have to, I avoid keyboard and mouse like the plague"

Me too @AlanaHagues . Just not a fan at all. The only game I have for Steam is Secret of Mana remake, as that is the only way I had to play it. Just have never been a PC gamer. It is not what I sit at a computer to do. I can't see myself using mouse mode if it can be helped.

@rjejr I scrolled down looking for that comment. Right out the gate. Not disappointed.

@jco83 Thank you! Where do you plan to get it yourself?
