My parents didn't like gaming at all. They said they damaged me so they never bought anything even if I asked a lot for my birthdays. They were great parents outside of that.

My first time playing Zelda and Mario was back in the 2000's through emulators. My first Zelda was ALttP.

Lots of people offended in the comments. No, you don't need to defend your language. Who cares.

English is really weird, just accept it. Every language got its flaws, none is perfect.

I didn't even know Mega Man had voice in 11. It's a shame, though.

@splinters Third parties prices have been dropping fast also on Switch 2. Street Fighter 6 had a 50% discount already.

@Lizuka Given what third parties have already shown what Switch 2 is capable of, Gran Turismo is definitely doable on it.

However, they probably didn't optimize because they didn't care about a release. However, optimizing for testing how smooth the performance would get, would actually help their research for their potential portable console.

@PinderSchloss to be fair, this isn't that expensive when compared to iPads or Android tablets, which seems to be the defacto "toy" many parents somehow give their 5 year olds.

@Anti-Matter Last I checked all Game Key Card games are also available on most countries eShops as fully digital.

But okay.

@Anti-Matter Basically all third party games are 0/10 then for you. I said "basically" because I know there are some exceptions, but they are few.

That's basically Glenn from Chrono Trigger. It's even the same name as Glenn's friend.

@Otimus What about Kirby Air Riders? Is it for OG Switch only? Or why isn't it in your list?

Q2 26? Q3 26?

Are sales quarters always like this? Number set with the sales year plus one? Or did I overslept for a whole year and it's 2027 now?

@cyberrb25 Uh. No. You can very much buy Cyberpunk in Japanese eShop (by changing the account from whatever original country you're in to Japan), then get your account back to your original country and still play the game no problems.

However, it will be the japanese version of the game, which still includes English, but is censored. It won't load the USA version just because you switch your Nintendo account back to USA. You bought in the Japanese eShop, you play the Japanese version no matter your country set in account.

@Samalik I guess you haven't played Cyberpunk on Switch 2 then. It's obvious Nintendo would allow them anything having Cyberpunk in mind, but the developer was lazy.

@Wewewi "Naoki Hamaguchi reassures Nintendo Switch 2 version of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH and third game are in development: The Nintendo Switch 2 versions are being developed in a way that keeps the gameplay experience pretty much exactly the same as all the other platforms"

Still grinding levels in the Dragon Quest VII reimagined demo, just like last Saturday.

@BaldB3lper78 Note in the article: At the time of publication, the Switch 2 update is not yet live on European eShops. However, it is accessible from the North American eShop if you have a Nintendo Account from that territory.

@Kiyata Had they used gen AI in recent Pokemon games, they would actually be better than they are. Because they wouldn't be crunching and would actually have enough time for quality control and polishing.

Good! Now I can finally play it.

I like that they are adding content to this already very packed game.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Switch 1 & 2 Physical Release Does Not Include Mortal Kombat 4 **in the cart**

It's still included if you buy the game, but needs a download.

I know, I know, the subtitle says it, and the article says it, but it sounds like an alarmism title about these versions not including the game at all.

@KITG_GROUP Don't want to bring politics into this, but it's impossible.

The family behind Paramount are basically MAGA, white supremacists and the like. It would be so very wrong for Paramount to win this.

They should just make a classic Guitar Hero game for Switch and call it a day.

@tonyp1987 To be fair, 19, soon to be 20 years of redownloads for Wii games has been good enough for me, even if they stopped redownloads working tomorrow.

They'll sure follow the same with Switch and Switch 2 games redownloads (including Game Key Cards), so I see no issue.

I don't see Game Key Cards stopping being redownloadable in less than 30 years, unless Nintendo goes bankrupt or some apocalyptic event occurs.

@PharoneTheGnome So render the card unusable after that?

Or allow lots of people installing the same game from a single card?

@tonyp1987 What the other user said.

You can still redownload previously bought games officially from their digital fronts on all of those: Wii, DSi, Wii U and 3DS. The only thing is you can't buy new games.

Of course, you need to have access to the console from where you got them. Or have Nintendo help you transfer your accounts/licenses to another new console.

For anyone on the fence wanting to get it for playing in LATAM Spanish, it's still there. (There wasn't any LA Spanish trailer for the game anywhere, I was worried it was removed after being in AoC).

@sportymariosonicmixx Wow, a reply to my 10 year old comment.

Back on topic, you're right, it makes sense, I never had anyone to play with back then.

I held off from buying the OG Switch version for this, so this is cool.

@Kingy Uh, finally. It was a mess having to buy $120 Pokemon games back in the GBA and NDS times.

Why? 2 $40 games and then a third improved $40 game some months later.

@NintendoPete Thanks for your answer.

I already got my copy and it's indeed in Latin American Spanish both text and voices.

Very weird it didn't get trailers in that language like AoC did.

@1UP-HUSKY Different app purposes.

But they'll surely add some button for opening the store link from the Today app.

@PJOReilly Do you know if it happens to come with Latinoamerican Spanish language option?

Age of Calamity had that language, text and voices, for both American and European release. I hope it's the same now.

I'm worried because AoC had several trailers of the language, but Age of Imprisonment hasn't had any. Only European Spanish trailers so far.

Thanks.

@Erigen Even if most Switch 2 adopters are also OG Switch users, it doesn't mean all of them already played Animal Crossing.

I, for one, want to play it for the first time now only because of the Zelda content that will be added.

@Divide_and_Wander Nintendo must always be hiding things, they usually announce games within 6 months of release.

@EarthboundBenjy Zelda BOTW DLC was also announced before release (and it was also purchasable before release).

I mean, that's not something new Pokemon did.

People were saying the game looked so small after the first Direct.

I always said they weren't showing everything. Got lots of downvotes. Lol.

I will still say it again. Even after this second Direct, they are still not showing everything.

@MoldyPasta It got a 7 in Switch 2.

I'm impressed they didn't give it a 5 or 4 on OG Switch given that.

@adamatsu The 7 is literally a "Good" in Nintendo Life. It even says so below the 7 in this review.

@MatoFilipovic I mean, there are PS5 games with hiccups. That already falls in the developer's side, not the console.

@PinderSchloss Bold to compare Grave of the Fireflies with the Mario Galaxy Movie.

@Kwyjibo_Kitsune It would be weird having an amiibo for something that doesn't appear that much in a game.

@NintendoWife I enjoyed it completely by myself. It's good also for one player.

I don't know how you could stand the 15-ish fps from playing on split screen.

@HingryHuppo It's easy to call Nintendo support and they help you moving your account. 3DS and Wii U accounts are easy to change. Even if you aren't from a place with actual support. I'm from Mexico, and since consoles before Switch were mostly brought intro the country from USA, and Mexico shared region with them, Nintendo of America support still helped me several times.

Wii and DSi a bit harder, given there didn't exist "accounts" per se, but they still offer support for that given you have your consoles' serial codes.

I mean "redownload" actually implies you purchased the game before shops closure. So, yeah, you can't buy new games.

@HistoricKombat Well, yes, but they are still here.

Nearly 20 years since Wii release. I'm not worried, because with that background, Switch 2 Game Key Cards and digital games with still be redownloadable in 20-30 years from now at least.

Only thing that would prevent that would be Nintendo's backruptcy or apocalyptic event.

@jojobar DSi ware games can also still be re-downloaded. So. What are you trying to say?

@HugoGED That's like saying "planes could crash anytime, so it's not reliable to travel in one". Yeah, it could and will fail, but people still uses planes.

@Nintendomatt64 "physical is a heck of a lot better than physical". What?

@breach187 This is because of how consoles have developed over time. Need architecture updates that made previous games hard to make keep working.

If PCs had gone some big architectural changes in the 2010s, most games would be unplayable. But that didn't happen, and that's the reason it is like it is.

Nintendo has always implemented Backwards Compatibility when possible, ever since the SNES.

It's usually big changes in their consoles that made backwards compatibility hard to make, like Wii U to Switch.
