Yep, I'm getting it. This DLC is gonna make an excellent game even better.

Yup. But this update looks fantastic.

@Dee123 Cappy, Prince Florian, Toadsworth, Captain Toad, Toadette, Wario (and every character from the WarioWare series for that matter), Waluigi, Pauline, King K Rool (and most of the DK cast we barely saw), professor E. Gadd, Geno... Goombella from TTYD would be nice to see as a cameo (or any other character from either 64 or TTYD).

There's quite a lot of potential characters, small and big

I don't really understand the people in the comment. The company is in big trouble. AC Shadows was a massive failure. Same for SW Outlaws. Ubisoft is not in a good shape. So yes, that's necessary to restructure in order to focus on their most profitable activities... else the company will just go bankrupt, and then nothing else will be left to save.

It's incredibly funny how everyone in the comment section is already sure Nintendo is gonna increase their prices.

It may never happen.

I just hope Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 4, Origami King and TTYD are next in line.

@Pillowpants I understand where you are coming from, but Doug was completly in his role of president. Reggie and Iwata did things their way and wanted to be more of a public face for the company, but from everything I heard about Doug, he did a good job at NoA.

NA one could have worked if instead of a dark blue, they choose something like a bright red. Because you can barely see the artwork there.

It's not even a competition.

@Misima Gaming is also a way to spend time with your family and friends. Nintendo games are excellent for this. I remember getting back from school and playing some smash bros / mario kart with friends, we loved it. Or spending entire afternoons playing Pokémon, exchanging them, battling, discussing theories about secret Pokémon, how to obtain Arceus, etc.
Nowadays, I'm playing quite a lot of Mario Party and Mario Kart with my neeces and nephews, same with my GF, and it's a great way to spend time together.

Childhood should be... fun. Not just gatheting skills (I do agree that it's also important to teach kids useful stuff, like cooking, cleaning, maybe playing an instrument, use a software to create stuff, manual work...)

Mario is of course number 1.

@Wewewi What game looks like Bananza in the past 10 years ? They made a pretty interesting use of an underused game mechanic, with all the "taking a chunk of the terrain and using it in different ways"

Main problem is : if the amiibos unlock anything else than absolutely useless feature, you can bet some youtubers are gonna make videos about it, ranting how "Nintendo is greedy", or whatever, just to get some sweet sweet views (for example, useless youtuber Yong Yea with Metroid Prime 4).

They don't really have a choice honestly. Animal Crossing New Horizons is the best they can do with amiibos : it gives you the exact villager you want, but it's not mandatory by any mean and it's just a bonus for diehards fans of one specific character.

I mean, look at this comment section ! 99% of time, amiibos are utterly useless, but people still find a way to complain.

My most played game on the Switch. I will slowly get back into it with this new update !

Oh no, I'm going there... in FEBRUARY 🥺

Eh, too bad ! It will still be pretty cool nonetheless

Completely forgot those games exist, when I saw Dialga and Palkia I was like "It's finally happening ! They are doing a remake !" and huge dissapointment afterward.

@SillyG Dude, I get what you are saying, but this type of commercial practice exist since the 360 / PS3 era. This generation is, saddly, just the follow up.

Played 386 hours and 24 games.

My most played is... Silksong, urgh. What a waste of time.

I voted for Bananza as my favorite game this year. Great memories with this one.

There's a special place in hell for scalpers

Hey, welcome to the team !

@Rhaoulos Welp look at you, you are in luck today, the japanese version is fully physical

I would be really excited for a Switch 2 edition, alongside this new content !! I never played this one

Not a fan of this new Divinity game. Too graphic and gore for my tastes. Hope it's ported on Switch 2 for those interested though !

@DAHstroy In 99% of their games, amiibos are useless. People just made a huge fuss about Metroid Prime 4 (for no reason).

Amiibos are useless : "Whaaaaaat, those things are useless"
Amiibos are useful : "Whaaaaaaat they are locking features behind paywalls"

The internet.

Crimea Attacks is incredible

That's an incredible release. Still plenty more to come, as gamecube is just one giant gold mine !

I played this one when I was young, but I might replay it later now ! First I want to finish Chibi Robo, start Paper Mario, and then Minish Cap, before I start this one.

He was a complete non-issue, as usual with the internet.

Chibi Robo on NSO ! I'm loving it so far, 7 hours in, I see why it is a revered classic. The only thing I can say about this game (to convince more people to try it) is that despite decades and thousands of great games released since then, it's still a worthwile one to play, and an unique experience.

I finished Wario World on NSO this week too, I gave it a 7/10. I thought it was a solid plateformer, short (and that's not a bad thing) and quite inventive at the end, but I just don't the point of those annoying rhinos when you fall off a cliff.

Next game I will play after Chibi Robo, to get the most of my NSO subscription is Paper Mario (N64). Never tried it, I wonder how it will position itself amongst my two favorites in the series, TTYD and Origami King !

Maybe a little bit of Persona 3 : Reload, if I have time !

People, this is the second day of the year. It's a little bit early to say there's nothing when we don't know anything past the month of march

Plus, Fire Emblem and Splatoon Raiders do look pretty incredible

@Spider-Kev Why don't you uninstall your games ?

Happy new year everyone !

I'm waiting for this new Fire Emblem entry, and hopefuly, a new 3D Mario will come out this year too !

Just bought tickets to the Nintendo Museum this morning in prevision of my upcoming trip to Japan with my GF, so happy 😁

I'm playing it right now and liking it quite a lot ! I did not read much of the article as it seems to go pretty deep in the story, but I can already see why many people rever this game

Best of luck Felix, and thanks for your hard work !

I'm playing Chibi Robo on NSO at the moment and freaking loving it, so I would not say no to a brand new entry !

Concerning NSO, I hope they expand even more the gamecube catalogue. I want Wario Ware, Mario Party 6, Skies of Arcadia, Monkey ball 1 and 2, Eternal Darkness and Starfox Adventure !

Other than that, a new 3D Mario is my biggest wish for 2026. Or some big 3D plateformer from Nintendo.

Just finished this game on NSO, I would give it a 7. It's not the best plateformer out there but it has inventive stuff in it, especially in the later levels. I liked it. Some boss are not the greatest though, especially the final boss which is kinda lame and uninspired.

Overall, a decent game and I think every person that likes this genre should give it a try.

If Nintendo released their games on other plateforms, they would not bother making consoles in the first place. It does not make them any money to sell consoles (or so little, it's marginal). They want to sell games first and foremost, and all the goodies associated with them. That's why Xbox's decision to keep making consoles is so surprising. It's just a dead weight at this point.

After P4 remake, it's time for P5 I guess ? Could we get Persona 6 or is it too much to ask ?

Bought a Gamecube controler this week, so I can finally play those sweet gamecube games I never tried, such as Wario World and Chibi Robo !

Happy holidays everyone !!

I wish there was a King K Rool one !

Read the review for Chained Echoes, I immediatly went to wishlist it afterward. It looks fantastic ! Sounds like the dream game I wanted to make as a child when I used RPG Maker 2003.

I will buy it once I clear that cluttered backlog.

That's a really sweet article

Happy Christmas everyone 🌲❄️🎁

Happy Christmas everyone 🌲❄️🎁

The fact someone complained they did not add enough for a 3.0 patch is so ludicrous to me. YouTube really fried your brain you'all, you are negative even though there's litteraly no reason to be.

I'm still glad I paid full price for this game, it deserves every penny.

@ImpromptuR I actually did read it, contrary to 90% of people here who said "Uhhhhhh Nintendo", when the article specificaly said no one knows if it's due to some Nintendo policies or not.

Who cares. I certainly don't.

Glad Mario Kart World and Bananza are both doing extremely well. Two fantastic games.

Oh DK, you will always be GOTY in my heart.

Already pre-ordered this one (I know, I know, game key card, but the reversible cover art is really pretty, and it comes with a free Magic FF series booster), it looks incredible on such a small device.

Same games as last week end : Persona 3 : Reload, Mario Kart World, and Metroid Prime 4.

And also it's time for my yearly playthrough of Super Mario 3D World. This game is what comes to my mind when I hear "video games" and "fun". It is such an immaculate and pure experience, and a well suited game for winter season.
