it feels like gaming christmas rn on this site π anyways, ill be playing (on my apready beloved switch 2) zelda ocarina of time! i know, not expected, but im trying to blast through the game before realllyyy jumping into all the ns2 games! im almost done with it tho, and ive already spent a lot of time with family on MKW, and ill probably spend a lot more on there later this weekend. happy gaming everyone, and have FUN! π
mine is amazing so far, 9/10 for me! no desire to go back three hours of use in haha. im glad team NL is enjoying it for the most part, and im excited to hear their final verdict! @WiiWouldLikeToPlay no offense but why do you have to do a negative top comment π i get the price is frustrating, but focusing on positive stuff is good too π @FishyS i hope youre able to snag one, good luck πΈ
im honestly shocked they didnt do a complete upgrade pack cause of how much better it looks, but i guess the fans DESERVED it. looks rlly good, happy for all the pokemon lovers out there!
JEALOUS!!! very happy for yall though πΈ i hope everyone here can get their hands on one tn, im gonna try to get on at gamestop or best buy later even tho i dont have a preorder πΏ
edit: spectacular unboxing video alex, has got me more hyped than ever!π₯³
i am so hyped for next week, it will be a happy one indeed! i unfortunately have NOT landed a prenorder anywhere despite many desperate attempts, and even though i fulfilled all the requirements and signed up day one nintendo still hasnt sent me a invite ππ so im hoping to go to a midnight launch at best buy or gamestop, but i have no clue what time ti be there. i rly want it launch day, so hopefully my (and all of oursβ) wishes come true π₯³ i will be getting the mkw bundle, so so SO excited for World, and then maybeee street fighter and welcome tour. i was thinking id replay through botw or totk in the switch 2βs beautiful enhancements as a treat π no accessories for me tho, im too broke!!!
@speed_loafer i did, i hope they can gget to us quickly. might be going to a midnight launch if not π @AstroTheGamosian oh no hope youre okay π yeah the american health system is a yikes πΏ
im mainly playing through retro titles and taking a duve into the history of nintendo with Ocarina Of Time and about to start super metroid. but i cant let go of playing my switch, its the ultimate comfort device π im curious, and this may be a dumb question, but will NL staff get early switch 2s for review and stuff?
OH YEAH AUSTRALIA! switch 2 commercials and trailers are great so far, i dont think they will have the nostalgic feeling like the ig switcj does tho in eight years. still love how they are getting big names in there π¦πΊπ¦πΊπ¦
i saw zero comments and i was like βtheyβre disabling comments so that people dont get mad abt it π³π³π³?β the $80 prices arent ideal, but it was a long time coming with inflation.i dont like how people are taking it out on nintendo though, cause its gonna be everyone in the next couple years π
The war is on, Rockstar. All jokes aside, i think both games will be momentous moments in video gaming history, and i for one am so excited! also u cant play as coin coffer in gta6, their game aint worth it)
gonna be working through ocarina, love it so far (although admittedly the camera controls are not fun). also probably some mario kart and jamboree with friends and family π
mario kart worlds gonna be goty now, wahoo! sad for the gta fans tho, itβs been a tiresome waitπΏ hopefully the release date sticks this time, and switch 2 will have it
i think animal crossing on switch 2 will be insane, and im rly excited to see what direction they go with the series. its gotta be next year since new horizons has been absent from all the switch 2 backwards compatibility upgrade lists and stuff. also smash also, and my dream of mother 3 remaster someday π
unfortunately i dont want to buy from any retailers for certain reasons here, so ill be getting mine directly from nintendo! πΊ im soo hoping i can get in may 9th, and everyone else can comfortably get a pre order before launch. good luck β¨β¨
love the great reviews so far! is this gonna be botw moment for switch 2 ?!!! hoping it is π» anyways cant wait to see whats in the direct next weekβ¦nintendo can be surprising!!
its gorgeous and just what i wanted, the switch 2 keychain. hell, ill even take it over that pricy upcoming switch 2 that does havent any hype or demand for it at all πΉπΉ i love sarcasm guys sorry. anyways im glad for those who need to spend their platnium points, the little redeemable gifts u can get with em are so cute sometimes! my zelda splatfest keychains π»
woah, all the questions coming πΉπΉπΉone thing they havent touched on i think is, will it have backgrounds/different color options for the home screen? also, will social media integration be in the images section, and is there anything new to the photos section?
mario kart world for sure, (cmon game awards give nintendo what it deserves), kirby air riders, hyrule warriors, the zelda upgrades, and KATFL (whcih i havent played before and im looking forward to diving into on the switch 2 ππππ) oh and the upgrade pack for mario party jamboree, such a fun game with friends! and street fighter 6 was so fun on ps5 that ill prob pick it up eventually. AND PRIME 4 HOW COULD I FORGET OML YES!!! the only exclusive that im wary abt is donkey kong bananza cause i dont know if i like the gorilla enough for $70β¦depends on reviews and how broke i am after purchasing this console πΉπΉπΉ
i think its a great optional gimmick, but o think ill only use it when having fun in mario party with friends. I LIKE MY SOLO PLAYING IN HANDHELD MODE MORE COMFY π». i do however appreciate nintendo for this, they are geniuses
nintendo is always reliable when it comes to good animations! soo cute, i love the relationship between bowser and his son. keep up the good parenting bowser π
PHEW. what a week for nintendo, i was checking this site every five minutes πΉ anyways, im on the final boss of mario odyssey, so ill finsih that and maybe even dwaddle a bit more in that weird, lovable world. i SHOULD focus more on my first play through of ocarina of time, but something more familiar and relaxing like animal crossing happy home or splatoon 3 sounds nice. guess we shall see how it goes! happy gaming to everyone at NL π₯³π₯³
very very disappointed with half of my country right now, i feel less safe with every day in this administration. and its a bummer abt the switch 2, all we can do is hope things get better πΈπΈπΈ
such a good preview of whats to come alana! the price tag has been scaring me but this has kinda restored my confidence. so excited for this epic game!
