I just started RE4 and can't progress. When I turn the camera, it will randomly get locked into an aggressive shake/vibration. I tried to start over several times but it got to frustrating, losing all my progress when it happened. :' )
I've checked for a fix everyday. I REALLY hope they fix it soon.
@HeadPirate This. As someone who always wanted to play games coming to other platforms, getting stuff like Elden Ring and FF7R on Switch 2 is a dream come true. See big that Persona 3 Reloaded is coming to Switch made the Direct for me.
I honestly love it. He can still furrow his eyebrow when he’s fighting or whatever, but he looks so much more kind. It’s so cute to see him look genuinely happy to have Diddy hanging out on his back.
I’ve used a Satisfye grip for so long that I’ll enjoy the break of not using one when I get my Switch 2. Also, the grip makes the Switch significantly heavier, so I wonder if Switch 2 will be too heavy with the grip.
Mario RPGs are kind of a touchy subject, it sometimes seems. The core fan base seems to dislike a lot of the games despite them being decent or even great.
From Software will always be great to see on lists like these, along with many others, of course. I really hope the successor can get some more Soulsborne games.
When else would you buy a Xenoblade but on day one??
Xenoblade has somehow fought up to a tie-position with Zelda for my favorite video game series. Though, honestly, almost every other Nintendo series is tied for second.😂
I listen to Nintendo compilations on YouTube everyday, but I have to keep my phone powered on. Being able to turn it off, put it my pocket and go is invaluable. Thank you, Nintendo.
I say this is a win! It’s sad to see how many people skip out on XB2 because of the promiscuous outfits. If censoring a few, honestly unnecessary, features can bring more Xenoblade fans along, then do it.
My love for Xenoblade has grown exponentially over the past two years. I finally got my cousin to play them, so we've been talking a lot about it as he goes. All the talk has made me really miss it, so this couldn't be better timed. It's the only one I haven't played yet, and it looks and sounds so good.
About time Sonic Team had a hit. I had no idea this game was going to be at all good, because I’m definitely not a fan of the Sonic games, but I’m glad this is a good one for the fans.
Side note, would this be a good game to get me more into the series? I played Sonic 2 in 2022, but it I thought that it felt difficult and clunky.
I wish some of these outlets would review it exclusively from the viewpoint of Switch-only consumers. If we wanted a comparison, we could go find something from DigitalFoundry or something. I have no other way to play the game, so it sounds great to me.
I just bought the Resident Evil Three Pack physical the other day, but now I think I need 1. This will be my first time playing Resident Evil—and first horror game, at that—and I’m really excited.
I stayed up late last night to finish Echoes of Wisdom. The game certainly isn’t perfect, but wow, was that second half fantastic. It’s hard to have complaints when everything else about the game is so good.
Now that I’m finished with that, I’ll be starting Dark Souls for the first time. It’s the closest thing I can get to Elden Ring right now, and it sounds so fun. Seems fittingly spooky for this time of year, too.
Thanks for the review! I try to stay open to indie games even when their review score is low. A lot of the times it comes down to how much I personally enjoyed the experience.
I finally beat FF9 and started Echoes of Wisdom! It’s great so far, but the first dungeon was still a little bland, and the echoes are already difficult to sift through.

Re: Surprise! Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Thursday 7th August 2025
I’m not even clowning when I say this:
Silksong will be here.
I was genuinely surprised when it wasn’t in the Partners Showcase. It’s coming out this year, and has got to be somewhere, so it must be here.

Not going to lie, the floaty jumping has kept me from really getting into Crash.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?
Sounds like it should’ve been a 10/10 smh
Re: Opinion: Honestly, I'm So Glad We Had To Wait For Donkey Kong Bananza
Great article. Love to here a break from the complaints with some genuine appreciation for all the good things Nintendo’s given us.
Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"
Uh, yeah. No. It ls way better than Switch 1.
Re: More Than 2,800 Switch 2 Consoles Have Been Stolen From A Semi-Truck
These GameStop restocks are actually how I finally found a Switch 2, so I’m sad for all the people who are missing out on these right now.
Also, 2,800?? I’m surprised how well Nintendo is keeping up with demand.
Re: Nintendo Is Discontinuing Gold Points, One Of The Switch's Best Incentives
I used these all the time on Indie sales, among other things. I can’t believe they’re getting rid of them.

@Orpheus79V right?
Re: Zelda: BOTW And Animal Crossing: New Horizons Composer Yasuaki Iwata Has Left Nintendo
Aw, that's sad. Though, it is interesting to imagine hearing his talents in other media, possibly even other video games, of course.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Leave it to IGN to give their worst opinion. Essentially, if IGN says it's bad, then it's great.

Honestly, leave the breast slider in, but the other stuff can go.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Fans Are Once Again Discussing The Game's 'Censorship'
@MsJubilee I genuinely didn't know it was the best selling in the series. It's easily my favorite, so I'm glad to hear so.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Confirmed For Switch
@GameOtaku I mean, they could, but then it wouldn't be Xenoblade. The combat gives it identity.
Re: So, Will You Be Listening To The New Mobile App Nintendo Music?
I need Xenoblade ASAP. But yeah, I'm super happy for what is on there so far. Wii Channel music getting the attention it deserves.

XENOBLAAAADEEE!!! YEAAHAASSS!!!

I am so ready.

@GameOtaku the combat is one of the best parts.

Re: Nintendo Museum Overseas Visitors Reportedly Breaking 'No Photos' Rule
Nintendo won’t bring the museum to overseas, but they also won’t let people take pictures?? How else are we supposed to see it?
Would I love to visit Japan? You bet! That doesn’t mean I can afford it right now, though.
