why Gale of Darkness before Colosseum? I really don't get why the sequel releases first. Also, just "March"? You couldn't be bothered with a specific day?
Orbitals looks amazing. I love the visuals so much. But I was disappointed it seems to be co-op only.
I'm happy to see FF7 Rebirth, Digimon, Fallout, Oblivion, and Indy being ported. And Adventures of Elliot still looks good.
But nothing was new. And some new obvious ports (i.e. Metaphor or Expedition 33) were MIA.
Very little content in this Direct was actual news. And that was super disappointing. Nothing here surprised me. And in a year where there is already very little 1st party content I want (only Fire Emblem), I really needed some more energy and excitement from 3rd parties. And this didn't deliver at all.
$40 is so reasonable for this port that I'll pick it up to replay. Nintendo should take note that ports with little new content should be priced accordingly, like this
I've never seen the economy worse here in the US than it is now, which includes the Bush-era mid-00s recession. Everyone is hurting and even everyday items are getting too expensive, so luxuries are getting cut out.
Expect it to get worse until the current felon is out of office
Man, Metaphor and Expedition 33 ports would be great.
Bethesda, give us Oblivion and Fallout NV you cowards!
I hope Nintendo shows more of their own stuff. Right now, Fire Emblem is the only thing from them that I am jazzed about. Maybe Pokepeia, if it had a physical copy
I am excited for this. But they delayed to release just after Persona 3 Reload's port. I don't need a Persona-like when I'm playing a recent Persona. So to the wishlist it goes!

Re: Review: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen (Switch) - Red-Hot Nostalgia In A So-So Wrapper
FR/LG and SS/HG are the high points of the series for me.
FR/LG offers so much more content for the price compared to the Let's Go remakes as well. And without the dumb gimmicks

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave - 2026

Re: Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Development Paused, According To Take-Two
@Spider-Kev Borderlands 4? Its already out on other platforms and has been been for 6 months or so
Re: Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Development Paused, According To Take-Two
"This decision won't impact other Switch 2 projects, and 2K will continue to collaborate closely with Nintendo"
2k literally makes nothing else I would buy, aside from Civ

Re: Feature: 40 Games We'd Love To See On Switch 2
who do I have to pay off at EA for a ME Trilogy port?
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Cheap Upgrade, But Lacking Substance
yeah I saw no reason to "upgrade" since the actual content was freely given. I don't need mouse controls
Re: GameStop Kicks Off 2026 By Reportedly Shutting "Hundreds" Of Stores

Re: Censored Dispatch Artwork Spotted On Nintendo's Digital Storefront
Nintendo, the company that allows endless hentai bloatware on the eshop? I find it hard to believe

a million Mario soundtracks. No Xenoblade
Re: Fire Emblem Shadows Makes Metacritic's "Worst Games Of 2025" List
its trash and Nintendo should be ashamed of releasing trash
Re: This Adorable Hand-Drawn Cat Adventure Looks Packed With Classic Disney Charm
this looks great! I want to get it
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A: Mega Dimension (Switch 2) - Repetition Takes The Shine Off
the DLC is bad. Easily the worst, laziest experience yet from Game Freak.
The time limits on the portals are beyond asinine
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2 GameCube Library With Wario's 3D Outing
Meh. I'm here for Fire Emblem and Pokemon
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced At The Game Awards 2025 - All Switch 1 & 2 Reveals

A new Old Republic game. This blows everything else out of the water
Re: Nintendo Music's 2025 'Year In Review' Is Now Available, See Your Most-Played Songs
I haven't used this app. Its too incomplete. Not even Xenoblade!
Re: ICYMI: Here's What Else Might Be On The Way To Switch Online's N64 Library
Diddy kong racing, Conker, and Perfect Dark are needed
Re: Mini Review: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Now A Legit Contender For Mario's Karting Crown

Re: Review: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Switch 2) - A Serviceable Port Of One Of Lara's Very Best
loved this game. $20 is an easy sell. Here's hoping the other two modern games come over too
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows X Attack On Titan Collab Announced
wow this is immensely dumb and lore-breaking. Not as bad as some of the Valhalla BS, but pretty bad
I say as an AC fan
Re: Marvel Cosmic Invasion's Opening Movie Is Packed With '90s Nostalgia
gods I am excited for this game. The Marvel-ness is just oozing off of it.
The only thing missing for me is some F4 representation.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The New Kirby Air Riders amiibo?
sure won't at that price
Re: Review: DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO (Switch 2) - A Brilliant Brawler With A Colossal Roster
I just cannot justify full price for a late port that doesn't include the DLC. Had this come with the DLC, it'd be a day-one buy for me
Re: Surprise! Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Is Available Now On Switch & Switch 2
hm.. Not the other two of this trilogy?
At least the price is nice
Re: Review: Demonschool (Switch) - Jokes, Gore, And '90s Vibes Set Necrosoft's Tactical RPG Apart
