@Lady_rosalina Yeah, I just learned about the shutter. I didn't buy the camera and I know nobody who bought the camera. Just to defend the Jamboree, I thought the add on with the Mouse Controls was neat, but could've been priced lower and not include the camera.
@KayFiOS Lemme just hide my Wii U back into the basement where it belongs. I didn't know about the shutter bit on the Switch 2 Camera, thanks for the tip!
@Lizuka Probably not, seeing after you defeat the Rouge Mega, you get the Mega Stone. There will probably be a Gardevoir Mega on the loose, so the pre-order Pokemon is basically worthless.
Is it just me, or are pre-order bonuses worse than other games? I remember Legends Arceus have so much goodies when you pre-order the game. Also, why doesn't the Ralts have a Gallade option. I would love to pre-order if they had a Gallade option
Nate the Hate has a really great track record and it would make sense for a Direct to happen soon with the drought of no Kirby Air Riders, Hyrule Warriors and Prime 4 news. Also Nintendo doesn't have any Holiday game, so a Direct should reveal that as well. I hope a Direct is soon. We also need that overview tralier of the KAFTL Switch 2 edition.
I really hope that they incorporate more mouse mode and camera into games like Mario Party. I really enjoyed Jamboree, but probably not going to buy the upgrade. I really hope that they have mouse mode support to games like WarioWare!
Edit: As I said Mario Party, I didn't mean the mode, I meant the entire game as a whole. Whoops
@LazyDaisy Yes, I have dipped my toes into the competitive scene from time to time and when Champions got announced with Home Support and not an actual team builder was awful. How am I gonna win against a person who completed National Dex and has the best Pokemon in competitive?
@StewdaMegaManNerd I mean, I didn't see the Z-A Bundle anywhere. Maybe it was part of the presents, but I just didn't see it. They should've added a little bit saying that there will be a bundle would have been nice and not a Twitter Post.
I find transferring Pokemon from Pokemon Home to get really over-powered Pokemon off the bat will be used a lot, while I don't own many Pokemon games and I have to choose from what they give me. I think I'll just stick with Showdown instead.
Alright, this looks alright. I love the giant wings on the head, but this was probably only one of the exciting bits of the Presents. Also, was really surprising cause the leaks mentioned Mega Dragonite. Also, would the mega stone for this be called a Dragoniteite?
@DarkTron @mariomaster96 Y'know, that's fair. I guess it is a push for more people to get the Switch 2 cause Pokemon is a big franchise. Sorry about the ragebait.
For Pokemon with the age, I'm not even surprised, but this seems pretty accurate and in check. Mario has a huge 70% though, not at all what I was expecting, which was a little more balanced.
@Pak-Man Eh, I would say Nintendo AAA titles do go on sale, but rarely hit the 50% mark. I know Odyssey went on sale this summer which was around 35% off.
@Spider-Kev Bananza seems like a really difficult game to 100%, seeing how there are a lot of Bananas, fossils and other collectables. Like Odyssey, the game isn't done when you beat the main game, with there still being post game bananas and the little ancient ruins. I think that is just me though, I spend a little too much time on the first level.
@Zerodogg Clair Obscur looks awesome a really cool, even tho I don't own it or have the consoles to play it, but seeing how the GOTY 2024 came out with Astro Bot beating Wukong, I think DK has a very good chance.
I am really enjoying Bananza so far. The inclusion of DK's house from DKC is a really neat touch. Also, isn't there another costume for Pauline that references the arcade DK?
I mean, they kinda have the perfect opportunity, with the Switch 2 mic and maybe with the GameChat Camera support. It would definitely be a hit with the younger audience and would give an urge to buy the GameChat Camera. Maybe have a special edition?
@UltimateOtaku91 Gen 10 sounds likely and hopefully really good. Though, I think that the Legends Series will replace the remakes. As badly as I want Gen 5 remakes, the further they go with remakes, there will be less and less to improve, graphically wise, maybe a HD-2D Black and White Remake?
Yooooooooooooooooo, I am hyped for Crossworlds, but I am still not sure if I want to get it, seeing that Kirby Air Riders is releasing this year as well.
@YANDMAN I was hoping Nintendo would do clear inside, with the red outside, to still have the inside box art. But, oh well, maybe a game manual or some other goodies if you get physical?

Re: Nintendo's Official Camera "Attach Rate" With Switch 2 Revealed For US
Yeah, I thought so. I guess nobody wanted Nintendo to watch them sleep.
Re: 'Mouse Work' Gets Second Trailer, But Can't Release Until Creators Get Switch 2 Dev Kit
Ah! I am sooo excited for this game than other ones! This looks absolutely amazing!!! Maybe a little better then Drag X Drive hopefully?

Re: Pokémon Presents July 2025: Every Announcement, Full Livestream
Alright, when is the next Direct happening to cure the disappointment of the Presents. This Presents was horrible
Re: The New Pokémon Theme Park Is Looking Rather Lovely
Yeah, I know the Japanese will keep it clean, but tourists could trash the place, so I would hate for that to happen.
Re: Pokémon Champions Gameplay Trailer Reveals 2026 Launch Window
@LazyDaisy Yes, I have dipped my toes into the competitive scene from time to time and when Champions got announced with Home Support and not an actual team builder was awful. How am I gonna win against a person who completed National Dex and has the best Pokemon in competitive?
Re: Pokémon Presents July 2025: Every Announcement, Full Livestream
@Kirbyo Nah, I found the best part was with the giant ship and Lapras cause it looks like it was gonna be a horror game.
Re: Pokémon Presents July 2025: Every Announcement, Full Livestream
Wooloo eating the apple was the best part of the presents hands down. (only joking)
Re: Random: Google Is Hiding Some Sweet 'Legend Of Zelda' Movie Easter Eggs
Heh, such a nice easter egg, especially the "well excuse me. princess" Really excited on how this movie turns out!!!!
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Getting Its Very Own Switch 2 Bundle
@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah, I realise that now. I would have loved a Zygarde Themed Switch 2 tho.
Re: The New Pokémon Theme Park Is Looking Rather Lovely
This looks really cool, but it is an interesting choice. I really hope people treat this nice though and not trash this.
Re: Aardman Animation's Pokémon Collaboration Teased
Best announcement of the Presents by far

Re: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Trailer Finally Gives Dragonite The Love He Deserves
@Brianst0rm Ah, ok. Dragonitite, makes more sense. Thanks!

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Getting Its Very Own Switch 2 Bundle
Really? Why bundle Z-A over any other game like Bananza or Air Riders?
Edit: Ok, I understand now why they should bundle Z-A with the Switch 2.

Re: Random: Here's A Few Of Our Favourite Donkey Kong Bananza Easter Eggs
@batmanbud2 CHUNKY KONG??????
Re: Pokémon Is Teasing Something Ahead Of Next Week's Showcase
@SonicFan100 Place your bets! Mobile rhythm game or Nintendo Music Add-ons?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Bananza?
9/10: I love Bananza and the destruction gameplay is so fun, but I still prefer Odyssey over Bananza. I wonder if there will be DLC?
Re: Random: Here's A Few Of Our Favourite Donkey Kong Bananza Easter Eggs
I am really enjoying Bananza so far. The inclusion of DK's house from DKC is a really neat touch. Also, isn't there another costume for Pauline that references the arcade DK?
Re: Pokémon Is Teasing Something Ahead Of Next Week's Showcase
If there is no "Hey You Pikachu 2"
I mean, they kinda have the perfect opportunity, with the Switch 2 mic and maybe with the GameChat Camera support. It would definitely be a hit with the younger audience and would give an urge to buy the GameChat Camera. Maybe have a special edition?
Re: Mario Kart Tour Announces Limited-Time "Mario Kart World Special Campaign"
Wait, what. Mario Bros Circuit when?
Re: Crash Bandicoot Co-Creator Believes The Remakes "Botched" The Jump Mechanics
Hasn't many other games done this the jumping longer because you held the button longer? Perhaps Super Mario Bros 3. I think I remember they did that.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Donkey Kong Bananza
Definitely Game of the Year, by far!!!
Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie
oooooooooo, super exicted for this movie!! Great casting choice!! Don't recognize them, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Re: Pokémon Is Teasing Something Ahead Of Next Week's Showcase

@ShieldHero Thank you! I believe I found this on the Internet. i just searched up Mario Super Saiyan on Google.
Re: Sega Teases New Sonic Racing Animation, Speeding Ahead This September

Re: PSA: You Can Play One Of The Greatest Platformers Of All Time In Street Fighter 6
I thought this was Sonic Rush and got excited, but realised it was Street Fighter, so it had to be Capcom Game.
Re: Random: It Turns Out That AI Isn't Very Good At Pokémon Red
I wonder how it would fare in other Pokemon Games, such as the more modern ones?
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Secures Switch & Switch 2 Release Date
Not sure if I want to get it, but definitely a lot more earlier than I expected.
Re: Here's A Look At The Size And Inside Of Switch 2 Game Cases
@YANDMAN I was hoping Nintendo would do clear inside, with the red outside, to still have the inside box art. But, oh well, maybe a game manual or some other goodies if you get physical?
Re: Here's A Look At The Size And Inside Of Switch 2 Game Cases
@RaGe22 Aw man, those were the reasons I bought the physical editions. Really heartbroken.
Re: Here's A Look At The Size And Inside Of Switch 2 Game Cases
Is this the end of art inside the box? I really hope not. I enjoy those.
