I'm a big fan of Voyager, but this game is not for me, I think. The combat looks convoluted and a tad boring. Also, Daedalic also made that horrible Gollum game, so I have little faith in this scoring good in reviews. But who knows?

Am going to get this somewhere down the line, I think. I really want to find out what all the fuss(ball) is about.

@MrGawain So basically your and somebody else's two cents?

Disgusting! The sets aren't even out, officially!

Welcome, stranger! Looking forward to getting to know you and your content, Mai!

@RupeeClock Thanks! I already had a feeling it wasn't possible to finish the game that quick. I'll still give it a watch and see what's what!

Definitely going to give this a watch. I'm currently replaying the OG Resident Evil 4 on Switch 2 and having a blast, although it is frustrating at times with a lot of cheap deaths.

Gonna put this OST on today while working from home! I haven't played the game yet, so I'm hoping to be surprised. I'll take some of the earlier comments into consideration, but knowing they are biased, I'll try to ignore them as much as possible, so I can form my own opinion on how good the OST is.

Glad to see Metroid Prime 4 higher than last week. I think the game deserves it, even with all the (valid) criticism surrounding it. I had a really good time with it, safe for the green crystals farming and still not 100% items because I got insanely bored with it.

Lacks originality? That probably won't hold me off from playing the game at some point. It looks fun! And I like the aesthetic, too. Being an 80s kid.

@Kalcheus @Bobb , I think treating your fanbase like this by basically punishing early adopters and then re-releasing a game for full price is a d*ck move. If it were DLC it would be another story.

I sincerely hope the Pikachu set is not the final design. It really needs some more work... it's nearly as bad as the Shadow the Hedgehog set.

That Eevee is going to be a gift for my wife!

Whatever it is, I'll wait a couple of years until there's a definitive edition of the game. I really don't like how Atlus treats their die hard fans and I don't intend to fall for the same trap!

But my biggest wish would be a new game, instead of a remake/remaster. We need more original content, not regurgitated stuff from days of yore, if you ask me.

@JohnnyMind Which hypotheticals are you referring to, if I may ask?

@obijuankanoobie sad to hear the FOMO. I have bought all Nintendo consoles/handhelds day one since the GameCube/Game Boy Advance era. I also don't experience that the Switch 2 has "no games" , but that is mostly because I was able to bring my backlog over from the OG Switch, haha. Still, I think there's plenty on offer, it's just not for everyone. Give it a year or two and you'll probably be glad you got one!

@Robot99 Agreed, it is not unprecedented that hardware is sold "at a loss" so they can make money on the software. This has been the case many times in history. To be honest, I don't think much profit is made per hardware unit sold, anyway. It has always been the software that has the big margins.

Ugh, I sincerely hope the AI bubble will burst sooner, rather than later. Their Pac-man-esque gobbling up of supposed consumer goods is getting out of hand. Prices are already getting out of hand globally, the last thing we need is making hobbies like gaming too expensive for everyone to enjoy.

@Duncanballs I finished the demo last Saturday. I LOVED everything about it. I think this will be my first DQ game I'll play, since it's a stand-alone entry. After that I think I'll get the remakes of the first trilogy.

@Don One of my biggest wishes for the 30 year anniverary of Pokémon is that we can finally play the classics on Switch (2). Let's hope it'll become reality!

Wow, I can't even imagine how to beat Emerald in such a short time. Definitely going to watch the replay. And great to see they managed to raise so much money. This event went a bit under my radar, but next time I might be inclined to donate and follow the live streams more.

Guess they really do their name credit, eh? Nomen est omen.

Glad to hear that you were able to play the game due to being able to remap the controls. I think it's really weird that inclusion of remapping is an exception, rather than the rule. As a game developer I'd want anyone to be able to enjoy the game. Especially knowing not everyone can play with the regular mapping. It's so weird that especially a company like Nintendo doesn't have this as a standard!

Looking forward to more info. Personally it seemed like it's not for me. Seeing as the additions are mostly aimed at gamechat and multiplayer. But if the upgrade isn't too costly and there's more worlds added, I might bite.

Europe for me. It has more character.

Can't wait for the update! It'll be fun to revisit my island and those of my wife and best friend 😁

Booted it up last night and already having a grand time! I totally missed out on this game back then! It's cool to finally play the game that Ike is from, having only known him mostly from his membership on the roster in Smash Bros.

Hello fellow Nintendo Lifers!

This weekend we'll be staying home due to the snow in the Netherlands, so I'll have plenty of time to play some games! I'm currently playing these games:

• Resident Evil 4: Normal - Chapter 3-2
• Tears of the Kingdom: 65% overall completion
• Pokémon Legends Z-A: just made it to rank C and progressing nicely
• Dragon Quest 7 demo: about 3 hours in. I think I'm almost done, sadly...
• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: Chapter 4

Last week I finished Pikmin 1 and Metroid Dread. So my year started pretty well on the backlog clearing 💪

Happy gaming everyone!

The movie made me realise I play too little Level-5 games. I should get Fantasy Life i.

It's kind of emberassing when another company fixes your idea. These look so much better! I mean, how often will you actually see the insides of the original JoyCons when they're usually attached to your Switch 2, anyway?

They were quick with this one, too!

Maybe some day I'll play it. But I just don't have the time for a timesink game like this with all those JRPGs staring at me on my backlog.

I'm listening right now and it made me realise, is this the first ever orchestral music from any Fire Emblem game? I believe so. Anyway, it's a blast to have this on during work and I bet it will also help me during my fiction writing endeavours! The soundtrack sounds adventurous!

@AlexOlney You're not gonna turn heel on us, are you?! 👉👈

I think I'll wait until the entire roster is released. I don't see the point in buying a DLC only to have to wait an entire year to get everything you bought. I get this is different for people active in online play, but not for me.

I like them, but as more people point out, they could be way more colourful. I'll wait for a good themed Switch 2 and sell my day 1 edition to a friend for a nice price.

So, themed balls is all we're getting this round? Had hoped for a bit more, but at least I can annoy my friends with a Yoshi themed one, then.

I'll be putting this one on today, since I'm working at home! 😁 hoping we'll get some Xenoblade next!

Yes! This was one of the games I was waiting for! I never got around to playing this game back in the day. Very excited to try it, finally!

I didn't buy a Switch 2 to play shooters. So, none.

The Switch (2) is just a great JRPG platform. I'm all here for it! My only concern is the ambition to release 2 games a year. I hope this won't impact the overall quality too much. But as long as they have the capacity to do it, why not, I guess.

Thanks for the review! I hope to get into this series at some point. But seeing as I haven't even dipped my toes into the grand pool of Dragon Quest, I'll do that first. But it's great to know that this is at least a good game!

I have to admit, I'm more hyped for this game than I was for Mario Kart World. It looks like it will be jam packed with modes and the story-mode looks fun! Playing with JoyCon to swing might be cool too

Love the colours. This would be perfect for my significant other. I am personally more of a Pro Controller player. But I'd choose these over the standard ones!

Played about an hour of the demo yesterday. I like the art direction, but have only had a single battle so far. I'm keen to continue, but the intro is a bit long so far. I like it, but I need more battles to know if I really like it.

Another empire crumbling... sad for those who lost their jobs. I hope they'll find better ones!

Guess I'll wait getting the game until they add more to it!

That would be great! I have played so much of Fallout 4, that it's not interesting for me to triple dip. But I would buy remasters of 3 and New Vegas!

@charliecarrot Appreciate the effort to explain. I'm Dutch so English is my second language. And I'd hardly call it upset. But as I said before, it was unnecessary. And it looks like I wasnt the only one who didn't know the abbreviation either. So that speaks for my case. Peace out ✌️

Appreciate people taking the piss here, it is a good laugh. Just to clarify: I'm 44 and been around the internet a long time, but I honestly can say I never saw it until today.

At my work people abbreviate everything they can and it just annoys me to no end. Especially when it's really not needed.

@PJOReilly , hope you still enjoyed that morning coffee, despite my nagging.

@dartmonkey, thanks for explaining!

This looks like a very interesting concept. But I wonder what the longevity of this controller will be. I am not particularly interested in this myself. I'm still hoping for a new split pad pro, or any replacement for the joycons that has a D-Pad. I sorely miss it in handheld mode.

@dartmonkey No need to add more fuel to the fire, mate... It's really unneeded to abbreviate it and it's pretty much the first time I ever saw it.
