And Switch 2 overtook the Wii U already, haha. I feel so sorry for the Wii U. I loved that consoles to bits, but it really fell short fast.

I continue to laugh at all those poor saps who remain of the opinion that Nintendo is doomed. The numbers tell a completely different story. Imagine what happens once the big hitters come, like a new Zelda!

Thanks for the review, although I needed very little convincing to get this wonderful game!

After playing the demo I can safely say that it has won me over and that DQ VII: Reimagined will be my first ever foray into the Dragon Quest universe.

Will you guys be reviewing this game?

@Duncanballs Thanks! I feel that there are certain people that just write comments in such a way that they are very "baity" and they often get response one way or another. I think a good way of getting rid of that is using the "ignore" button. Use it wisely, my friends!

I see that this comment section also derailed on account of the GKC situation. I understand both sides of the discussion, but "Boss, I'm tired."

I wish these comment sections would be about our excitement for upcoming releases once again. Personally I think these months are jam packed with awesome games! I think Capcom is really one of the best in regards of releases, with Resident Evil Requiem and the releases of games that were released only as cloud versions before. And I am very excited about Monster Hunter Stories 3. The game looks phenomenal!

I am also excited about continuing Dragon Quest VII, after playing the demo, which convinced me that it's going to be a great starting point for me in the series.

Mario Tennis is also going to be in my collection at some point, but it can wait, with all the games this month I have more than enough on my plate already!

I'm quite surprised that Animal Crossing is having such a renaissance! I personally haven't really played it much again, since the update. I feel that what I am really looking forward to is a new entry in the series, but I suppose that is a couple of years off, still.

I'm not surprised FFVII remake is going down so hard. My second hand copy from Vinted arrived at my pick-up point, so I'll be enjoying the game somewhere this week. Eager to continue after the demo, which was quite awesome.

Oooh, another book for the wishlist! Thanks for sharing!

I don't pre-order often, but I did so for the Resident Evil Pro Controller and the bundle with three games. Can't wait!

Definitely won't pre-order this. I'll wait for the reviews before deciding whether or not to get it. It does look like a very fun game. A plant won't make me pre-order at all, lol.

Voted! Looking forward to seeing which one is the winning entry!

Japan for me, I love the sense of threat it portrays. The US one is a bit too vibrant for my taste.

1. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave
2. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book
3. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined
4. Resident Evil Requiem and the whole pack
5. Splatoon Raiders

Hello fellow Nintendo Lifers! We're having a slow weekend here, so plenty of time to play some games!

I finished Super Mario Galaxy 100% last week, which I'm quite proud of!

My current list of games I am playing is this:

• Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Finished the main story, and continuing to finish to Main Story missions and all the rest.
• Resident Evil 4 - I am still on Chapter 5-2, but didn't feel like playing, because I was hooked on Mario Galaxy
• Tears of the Kingdom - still on 65% overall completion, but eager to continue my adventure
• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - Chapter 12

I am also considering which game to add to the mix. Maybe something short and sweet, like Undertale, which has been in my backlog for ages.

@TheExile285 can't wait either, hang in there!

I never got any and don't intend to on the last day, either. Not sure if there's anything I want besides Tomodachi Life that I don't already own, anyway.

Weird how they were different for US and UK, but I love to see it. I can't wait to play this game!

@Yosher "Alles is voor Bassie!"

And somehow this comment section derailed into a Game Key Card discussion, once again. Sad to see it.

It's so odd when we have Cyberpunk and so many other games without censorship and then this game comes out and is censored. Something doesn't add up.

The first one I played on 3DS was such a delight. It's so Japanese. I'll definitely get it!

Definitely going to get this game. I am so excited for it! Nevermind the price, I know it'll be worth every penny. To all those who say the price is high. Try Deku Deals. I bet I can get the game for € 50 or less within a couple of weeks from launch!

Same thing happened here in the Netherlands with a company called Game Mania. They always had bad deals and overall it was quite obvious that they wouldn't last long. Too bad, because there are plenty of game stores that run perfectly well. I guess it's just the way the stores are managed and the "profit first" mentality is strong with the CEOs of said companies.

Great, I'll mark down the date. I'm going to watch the Direct on my way home in the train. Pretty excited!

Reading about the Activity Log hit me right in the feels... I miss that funciontality SO much! It is one of the biggest holes in my gamer's soul. I mean, sure, you can access activity through the Nintendo Switch Parental app and the Nintendo Store app, but there was something about the Activity Log that just tickled all my number nerd nerves in the right way.

I might look into these vinyls. I've been looking for an excuse to play some LPs anyway! And this would be a great addition, provided the songs are actually good. But I'll check them out later, once I'm home from work.

@Vyacheslav333 Thank you for the tip! I believe one of the NES games is also on NSO, maybe I should boot that up first?

This one is definitely on my radar, but I still need to get my hands on the 2-in-1 Deku Tree set, which I think is lovely. I don't really get the hate, other than pricing... LEGO is an expensive hobby, and one that's become even more expensive in recent years, but just like you can use Deku Deals for video game deals, there's plenty of LEGO pricing websites that can help you get sets at hefty discounts, like Brickwatch.

Really excited for this game. The one on 3DS was such a blast! I am worried we might not be getting a "proper" Nintendo Direct any more, though...

I have never played any River City game. I also wouldn't know where to start, but seeing as these games are continued to be made, they must be good, right?

Sad news, but not surprising. I hope Inafune will find other projects to work on. Mighty No. 9 never clicked with me.

I'll pass on this. Already getting the controller and the 3-Pack. That's enough money sponsored for Capcom. ✌️ besides, as others pointed out, you don't see the SD card. So this has no extra added value, other than it being a collector's item

America:
Guns and excessive violence: Yes.
Nipples and boobies: No.

What a country...

Is the censorship also in the EU version? I think I'll happily skip this game on Switch 2 then.

@DennyCrane Thanks, I hope they will bring those to Switch 2, then. So far no split pads from Hori

Pretty cool. I was a big fan of Ren & Stimpy back in the day. Too bad the collection is incomplete. So it's a pass for me. I'll enjoy the games otherwise.

We're living in exciting times, guys! Colour filters! Wow!

@Markatron84 Which one of the two UB40s?

These games are usually fun for an evening with the guys and a couple of beers and snacks, but otherwise, I can't really be arsed. The asking price is a bit steep, usually, so we wait for a discount, and sometimes the games are added to PlayStation Plus and that's when we play them, most of the time.

Oh Ubisoft, you are on such a slippery slope right now, and I'm all here for it, with a bucket of popcorn 🍿

How is this a smart idea, unless it is purely meant as a cash out for the shareholders?

Played this game on PC quite a bit with friends. It's a lot of fun! This update might pull me back in for a spell!

I had already abandoned my Wii in favour of other gaming platforms back then, sadly. I did get Xenoblade Chronicles with the Pro Controller, but I never got Pandora's Tower, nor The Last Story. Both are high on my wishlist to play sometime. Here's hoping Wii will join NSO eventually and these games are brought back where they belong, with the public!

I'm still massively on the fence for this stuff, especially since you need to get either of the two peripherals to actually play the games. Is 3D really a requirement? Seems a bit off and how will the Switch 2 know that you put it in a cardboard box? So many questions...

They are really making it appealing to get the Labo mask for me. I'm not going to get the Virtual Boy peripheral.

@Rees Not necessarily, some games that are on NSO are also available as remasters/HD upgrades. But the chance is lower, definitely.

Metroid Prime 2... Bring it to me, please!

@BentIeyma Disagree. Not everyone has that game and it being included in the subscription is a big plus for most people.

What a great poster! The love for Yoshi is great

One of the GOAT for GBA. And definitely a whacky soundtrack. I'll definitely give this a listen on my commute back home!

Here we go again...

"A Nintendo Direct is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

Live long and prosper, y'all and may the Force be with you, always.

🖖

@N64-ROX I know, right? That's why I'm still hoping for a Hori Split Pad Pro 2. At least they did a proper D-Pad.

@MamaSymphonia It's mostly a loud minority, if you ask me. I think if you look back at the Switch 2 after its first year, people will hopefully see what a great year it has been and how bright the future looks for even better years!

Can't wait! I loved Tomodachi Life on 3DS and this is lowkey one of my most anticipated games of 2026!

And I'm still stuck on 65% overall completion of TotK, so I won't be buying it for a while, yet... I am happy the game is selling well, though!
