@Kingy more importantly, he played "schoolboy" in Emmerdale episode #8125.

@axelhander HYUUUURGH!!!

@ButterCashier

But... Link's hair is the wrong colour!

Please, please, PLEASE tell me you're joking. 🤣

If you go on Spotify, or YouTube Music, or whatever music streaming service, I absolutely 100% guarantee there are countless Tony Hawk's Pro Skater playlists for every game in the series. Turn the in-game music off and listen to one of those 🤷

It's definitely faster than Switch 1 but nowhere close to hitting the download speeds I should be getting.

On Steam, with a wired connection, I get 850-920mbps (depending on what else I've got going on), whereas with Switch 2 it caps out at around 150mbps (wired). Switch 1 (wired) I was lucky to get over 100mbps though, so it's an improvement.

The only saving grace is that Switch 2 games are never going to reach the 150GB+ ridicu-sizes

@Yosher

I saw a video that shows all of the characters react to blue shells. Every character looked on in shock or surprise... while the NPC drivers just had a blank, boring stare.

Blank boring stares are no good. Let the NPC characters utilise the Luigi Death Stare™ and those blue shells will turn right around 😁

@Dev-N the way Nintendo has gone all out with the ridiculous characters in MKW, I'd honestly be surprised if we don't get characters like E. Gadd and Florian. I for one would main the f**k out of Toadsworth if Nintendo puts him in there.

My only gripe with MKW is the character select screen. Why do all the individual character costumes have to have their own slots on the roster? Would it have been so hard to let us select Mario and then select our desired costume from a drop-down menu?

@milonorth There are definitely lower scores.

Final Minecraft Movie Trailer Still Makes Film Look Ugly As Sin would've been a more accurate headline.

By that point there will be a Pokémon that looks like a stapler, you mark my words.

@nhSnork don't criticise the articles. Trust me, it's not taken on board or acted upon. 😉

[surprise]Huuuhhhh??????!!![/surprise]

They'll probably relaunch the program as a Nintendo Switch Online perk or something.

@Ulysses they'll wait 3 years then just switch it on out of nowhere, like they did with Bluetooth.

We're just straight up ignoring the game being called Lylat Wars in some markets, huh?

@Olliemar28

Or $50 trade-in at GameStop

I legitimately cackled at this.

@JohnnyMind

fingers crossed that's the reason why Nintendo and Amazon went after these and that the former will leave alone reproduction cartridges for no longer officially supported systems etc

Wait right there, I need to go dig out that clip of J. Jonah Jameson laughing. Be right back.

@WhiteUmbrella you're reading too much into my initial comment and my reply to yours. You might be a bit too sensitive to be using the internet.

@WhiteUmbrella

and/or

As of the time of writing, we still don't really know what the new USB slot does.

I'm going to go out on a limb - and call me insane, if you want - and say that it's probably some sort of port used to charge the Switch 2 and/or for plugging USB devices into.

@Sonicka

simply leap between different acts/worlds from each game series (like Storybook / Lost World / Boost / Classic / Adventure / Movie / etc...)

Ooooh, I like your thinking there.

GAME is the gift that keeps on giving. Every time I see that name in a headline, I rub my hands together in anticipation of something juicy and/or stupid.

@Lord that's legitimately disgusting.

Wario World, the epitome of mediocrity.

LUIGI IN SPAAAAAAACE!!!

Ask all the companies still releasing PlayStation 4 and Xbox One games in 2025 if it was a given that Nintendo would still support Switch in some capacity after Switch 2 comes out.

I'll never understand Nintendo. Port of DKC Returns? £50 mate. Remaster of Metroid Prime? Yours for only £35.

I mean, yeah, it's been nearly 8 years since the Switch released; sales were bound to slow down somewhat by now. Still, 3 million copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold in September-December at this point in the game isn't shabby in the slightest.

Has anyone here bought/played Pokémon Scarlet and Violet recently? Are they good now?

I hate it here.

I'm sorry, but "the artist Limp Bizkit"? Who did the research for this article? My nan? 🤣 Limp Bizkit is a band, my guy.

@Rainz I played Mario Wonder for the first time late last year and oh my god what a game!!

@Krull oh, I envy you, playing Portal for the first time! I actually replayed it a few months ago and it still slaps. Hope you carry on enjoying it. It's only about 2-3 hours long but what a 2-3 hours that is. Jump straight into Portal 2 when you're done; you won't be disappointed.

I started The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom last weekend and - my ongoing Helldivers 2 obsession aside - I've played nothing but that all week.

It's been a long time since I played Breath of the Wild and I'd forgotten how much I adore this new direction for the series, plus the new abilities greatly expand the scope for creative puzzle solving.

PSA: Wash out your Gardevoir plush after each use.

The current Switch cases are already a ridiculous size for the cards. This would just be stupid.

3D Land is kind of underrated in my opinion, when compared to other Mario games. Same goes for 3D World actually. I'd buy a Switch port in a heartbeat.

Today after work I am going to start The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Other than that, I'll be dipping into Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Golf: Super Rush online multiplayer.

She's persevering despite the setbacks and increased challenge. At 3 years old. She's going to be fine.

Plants vs. Zombies 3?!? Why is this the first I'm hearing of a Plants vs. Zombies 3?!

@Alpha008 it really doesn't. They'll just be trading as and listed on stock exchanges as Everplay. You'll still see Team17 on anything they publish or develop.

If you're concerned about what this means for the iconic 'Team17' name, then worry not. Everplay states that the branding for the developer, video games label, and publisher will remain, allowing it to continue operating as it does today.

This is a real shame, but it's better to cancel the game than to carry on without the passion that was so evident in Celeste. Good luck to Maddy and the rest in whatever's next for them.

@AmplifyMJ see, I'm the opposite. I've played through Celeste twice and adore it. Hollow Knight, however, I've tried twice to get into and just can't.

@Max_the_German I haven't played Returns before either, so I'm going to be picking it up soon. I played Tropical Freeze and it's peak 2D platforming 👌

"They already brought this game out twice before!", they said on social media. "No one wants this game!!!", they declared in comments sections.

Reaction: Nintendo Pins Hopes On Familiar Fun With Switch 2.

That we know of.

I started Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury last weekend, due to a hankering for level-based Mario. Since then I've done everything in 3D World except finish every level with every character, because bugger off I'm not doing that. I've also got 69 (nice) of the Cat Shines in Bowser's Fury. I'd never played it before and it's pretty damn good; I'll definitely be going for all 100 shines! I'd like the next mainline Mario game to really flesh out the idea of open world Mario.

Also still playing New Pokémon Snap, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Helldivers 2.

@VoidofLight ported time and time again? It's been ported once prior to this 🤣 twice if you count a version that only released in China.

@Samalik I wonder...

@Samalik I rolled my eyes so hard at this comment they nearly rolled out of my head 🙄
