I love, love, love my Switch 2. It's been a blast to play Tears of the Kingdom. There's a pretty solid line-up of 1st party games now and I can't wait to see what's in store next. The only thing I don't like is the Game Key Cards business. But I've decided to just buy more digitally, instead. Which means I'll need to invest in more space eventually and I don't like that Nintendo made storage space a consumer problem. Overall a very solid 5/7 experience!

@Dr_Corndog Yeah, sarcasm is not a lot of people's strong suits it seems. What a tough crowd. 😆

I just hope they will only use it as it should be, an assistant and nothing more. I am heavily opposed to using AI for artwork and other things humans should do. But to streamline a process it can be handy.

@Anti-Matter I don't see anything wrong with that image.

Looks cool, but I'm happy with all my Metroid Amiibo for now!

Not surprising. I bet people are doing their holiday shopping right about now as well and Mario is just more popular than Kirby. I'm a bit saddened by the sales numbers for Age of Imprisonment. I'm currently at 57% completion of TotK, so by the time I finally 100% it, it'll probably be on a big sale. Which is sadly what happens fast with Warriors type games, but a blessing to my wallet.

Yeah, that's all great, but the omissions make the list useless to everyone. I'd rather stick with the NintendoLife lists curated by the users.

@DennyCrane you bet, hahaha

Wow, those are some really cool things! Hopefully I can get my hands on at least a few of them!

@Froid12 "the developers themselves flagged that it should take you roughly 100 hours to clear, and that’s not including the mountain of optional side content." This article, of course. Did you even read it?

@Froid12 that's not what the article says...

Wishing those who will watch fun. It's not for me. To be honest I think it's stupid to have game of the year awards in December. Should be January, when the year is actually over. But hey, here we are.

100 hours, that's a hefty time. I feel that all JRPG creators have a need to boast about the length of the game, but ultimately, it's what you do with that length that counts. As with many other things in life.

I had doubts about this game, but I think I'll happily pass on this one in favour of shorter games. That backlog isn't getting any shorter with all those massive JRPGs to play!

My only pre-order this year. I rarely do, but when I do it's because I'm a huge fan. I only do this for a couple of series:

• Metroid
• Fire Emblem
• Xenoblade Chronicles

That's about it.

I abandoned the first one, because I thought battles dragged on too long and there was no way to speed them up. I also didn't enjoy the excessive grinding needed to level characters up if they weren't part of your party for some time. So I don't know. I think I'll pass, despite loving the art direction of the games.

I really hope this game will do well. I for one am going to buy it.

I won't read the review yet, because I want to go in unspoiled as much as possible, but love seeing the game get a 9/10. It'll probably be that for me as well, I think! Can't wait to get started. I have 2 weeks leave from work, so I'll have all the time to play!

Definitely gonna get this game. Game key card, or not. I mean, if I get it on Steam, it's digital only too. So who cares at this point.

Yeah, this one is right up my alley. 90s X-men and Spider-man cartoons were peak Marvel for me. Can't wait to play this coop with some friends!

Love the app! I currently have the random option on, so I can get the best of all worlds, so to speak. The addition of more themes is welcome. If only they did this for Switch and Switch 2... I'd love to have themes for the games I love... But I guess those are times long past.

And here I am, barely able to make a smileyface, lol. Great work! I love it when people put so much effort into games like this!

I'll probably just start on Normal and then try Hard mode. I enjoyed it in the first Metroid Prime. But I'm getting older and my reflexes are getting worse, hahaha.

I like the fact that there's a team now. I'm sure they'll mix things up in the formula a bit, which I think is a good thing. I'm certain there will be plenty of "solitude" in the game.

It's a shame this game is in limbo right now. I would love to play it at some point!

Really don't care for Call of Duty, but happy for those who are looking forward to playing a game in the series on Switch. It's definitely not the type of game I buy Nintendo hardware for.

Love to see it! Nintendomination all over again, with all titles being Switch (2) titles. What a time to be alive!

@Yoshi3 they could just acquire those separately from the studio.

@AG_Awesome I agree, one of the funniest taglines for any article here at least since a week or so.

@SoIDecidedTo I don't understand people's fixation on Nintendo acquiring Rare at this point. They are nowhere near to what they were during the Nintendo days in the 90s and 00s.

This sounds right up my alley as a TBOI fanboy. That game is also brutal, depending on the chosen character and whatever luck of the draw you have, pick-ups wise.

Will you be doing a video review of this one, too?

I ordered all amiibos for this game. I usually don't really care for their functions, I just like to display them with my games and make fun dioramas with them. To be honest, I'd rather unlock the Sylux footage myself, than use the Amiibo to get the cutscene.

@Potimarron You'd be surprised how many bands take themselves way too serious. I can't imagine these guys are, haha.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! Can't wait to see what games they will bring us.

Now do us all a favour, Nintendo and buy Capcom next.

Well, that's definitely a song I heard! Can't quite make out if they're trying their best to be a Metallica parody, or not, with the vocals. But the lyrics are pretty on the nose, haha.

I am going to complete ToTK first before digging into this one. But I love to see all the new stuff and fixes they add. Hopefully they'll keep this going!

@Excalibur_120 Okay, well, everybody has different hobbies. I'm certain you have a couple that other people would find a waste of time, too. As long as people get enjoyment out of whatever it is they are doing and they're not harming anyone, what's not to admire about it?

Thanks for the honest answer!

Great news! I still have to get Mega Man Battle Network Collection, but I'll definitely add this one as a fan of the Blue Bomber!

Yeah, I'm not getting this on account of it being from EA now. I fondly remember the original. What a game!

@MontyCircus It was added now!

@Excalibur_120 Why does it matter? If someone can make a living doing what they love, is it wrong? Or is this masked jealousy? Just curious ✌️

I'll be enjoying the game myself, thank you very much! But have fun to those who will tune in!

Very nice update! I'll definitely check them all!

Love these little things. Now an option to turn off all the ugly borders in all of the NSO apps would be great 👍

Great news! I love seeing people still finding secrets after such a long time in old games!

Doing what Nintendon't, I see. It seems he just built his own Star Fox, but with a wolf/dog? I mean, it's very obvious. This game has some serious Engine No 9. vibes. I hope it'll work out for him. The example I gave most certainly didn't...

It's great that it exists, but no, I am not going to get it. The Rosalina Amiibo on the other hand. I might just bite for that one, seeing as it's so cute with the Lumas surrounding her.

I remember NFS: Hot Pursuit on PC. It was one of my favourite games in the series. Although NFS2 was an excellent game, too, with the 3DFX card.

Two of my most beloved legendaries! Ruby/Sapphire are still among my favourite Pokémon games ever. The GBA sprites were really peak.

Yeah, this one doesn't really appeal to me at all. I'm not someone to judge a game by its graphics, but in this case I don't think it's for me also based on the actual gameplay I've seen.

So, now would be a good time to get the game for me! Awesome!
