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!

Final Fantasy VII: Re-d XIII

It's interesting to see Animal Crossing performing so well. Personally, I bought the upgrade pack for Switch 2, booted the game up once and quickly lost interest... That is mostly because I have such an extensive backlog and Animal Crossing can be a big time sink, if you let it... Still, it hasn't managed to grab my attention that much, perhaps because I'm not that much into home designing myself.

@OldGamer999 Agreed, but sadly Nintendo does not share their digital sales numbers easily... Or just rough estimates. It would be great to know what the ratio is, especially since we're pushed towards more digital these days.

@Anti-Matter Yes, Yoshi can talk. Have you ever played Super Mario World? He tells Mario about being trapped in his egg by Bowser there, among many other pieces of dialog in various games.

But it could be a Pokémon-like deal where he speaks his name, mostly.

So glad Yoshi is going to play a big role! Really loved seeing it!

Japan for me. The more Yoshis the better.

I am not of the habit to rate a game until I either finished it, or put it aside. I'll refrain from voting until I actually finished this one.

I love me some point 'n click adventures, so thanks for bringing this to our attention! Definitely going to check out the games already available on Switch!

Hello fellow Nintendo Lifers!

This weekend I've got some me-time so I'll be spending that gaming, mostly. This is what I'm currently playing:

• Super Luigi Galaxy 70/120 stars
• Tears of the Kingdom 65% overall completion
• Pokémon Legends Z-A , on my way to reach Rank A
• Resident Evil 4: Chapter 5-2, Krauzer is one of my least favourite bosses, but I'll live 😜
• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: Chapter 10

Happy gaming everyone!

@gcunit Imagine FF7 on 3.5" floppies. You'd be installing it until the end of your days and beyond.

I might get the upgrade, but it really depends on how much single player content there is. So I'll just wait. The Koopaling missions might be fun, but I'm not sure they'll be a meaty enough expansion to get.

It also heavily depends on the price, but I think it'll be 19,99 or something to that effect. That might be a bit steep for what I will consume, as I don't play these games multiplayer at all.

@Kiz3000 Thanks!

@SuperEndriu That's fine if you already own it, sure, but not all of us have a PC or PS5 to play this game on. Personally, I think 50 euros isn't a high price, especially comparing to what most others ask for their ports.

It better feature my boy Yoshi!

But what I really want is just a regular ol' Direct... I hate all these splintered Directs.

@gcunit Of course you are allowed to have your opinion on the matter. But what irks me is that many are still going on about the game being on a Game Key Card when it literally doesn't fit on one.

@Kiz3000 Is this confirmed? If so, then I can sleep soundly this weekend.

I still need to get to Rank S for the Sceptilite. These "seasons" sure are short!

@Lord This does not count digital sales. So it's not the complete picture, either.

I think I'll get the physical Day 1 Edition, because it features a booster pack of Magic The Gathering cards. But this is tempting, too.

@gcunit It doesn't even fit on a 64Gb cart, so there was no way they could have done this in the first place. This rhetoric is getting old, fast.

It really is one big convoluted mess...

@Porky Office policy. It's my personal desk, so people are not allowed to touch it. Besides, what's stopping me from supergluing it to the desk? 😈

@Scarmucci Cheers, I'll check it out!

If only there was something like "Elephant Yoshi". I'd be all over that Amiibo. These are all pretty cool, but I don't think I'll bite this time.

@Johnny_Arthur it's basically DLC for Switch 2, so yes, you will have to pay for this. Just like Kirby and Mario Party.

@darkswabber Thanks for the summary. I hope it'll be substantial enough to warrant a buy from me as a single player dude. 7 new boss battles sounds like it might be a meaty addition!

I love how Nintendo is all in on Amiibo's again. But who is Prine Florian?

I'll be checking the trailer myself, although I doubt I'll be double dipping for the upgrade myself, with its focus primarily on functions I don't intend to use.
