I'm not surprised. Tomodachi Life is sold out absolutely everywhere in the UK right now. I'd be playing it too if I could find a copy anywhere.

Giving New Super Mario Bros. Wii a 10 is certainly a choice...

Free on everything except crappy Nintendo, as usual.

I guess remake one of the 2D ones into a 3D game, but that'll be too much effort for Nintendo.

"Nintendo has now released a much small firmware update for both hybrid platforms."
So why do you always only mention Switch 2 in the title every single time?

Finallyyyyyyy!! Professor Layton, my beloved!

@batmanbud2 Seems a bit weird to personally feel insulted by my opinion of a gaming franchise, but okay, you do you, pal.

Has Nintendo ever really done a Zelda remake before? They've done remasters, or new visuals, but not altered gameplay much.

Outside of Pokopia (which I won't buy, because it's a game key card), there's still very little reason to own a Switch 2, and it looks like 2026 won't change that if these leaks are real.

A win for physical, as usual.

So it's bland, corporate, and nothing but nostalgia bait instead of anything actually new or interesting. Just like pretty much every Mario game for the last 2 decades then.

Gotta be Parker from Revelations, but since he's not here, Jill!

Or, if you'd prefer the UK version, it's here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3_P350X0U1Q

Hahaha!!! They've locked the improved difficulty options behind the paid upgrade. People are finally realising that Nintendo are complete scum these days!

Good. As all electronics should be.

What's more important to report is the new patch introduced some really nasty bugs, such as save file corruption. Hopefully they'll sort those out soon!

A shame they've added an Angry Bird over an actual Sega character, and I don't think Like A Dragon needed a second slot. I'm very happy Puyo Puyo is finally getting a character in a Sega racer at last, though!

@ShadLink Passing the costs of storing the game onto the consumer, without lowering the price of the games? Sounds anti-consumer to me.

@ShadLink Yep. People are still complaining, because it's still a problem. This is an anti-consumer step too far by Nintendo.

@Kiz3000 No, we say "10th of March". "March 10th" is the American vernacular sneaking its way in.

I might have bought this as my first Switch 2 game, but £60 for a key card is absolutely laughable. Nintendo have simply gone off the deep end with their prices these days.

Not at that price.

Oh boy! More paid updates that most publishers on PS5 and Xbox were offering for free!

I wonder why Tails is the only one to retain their actor from the games?

These companies pushing AI have now outlived their usefulness. At one point they were created/designed to make our lives better, but now are only interested in making their shareholders as much money as possible, regardless of the damage done.

Definitely Hollow Knight so far. Silksong is just far, far too difficult, verging into unenjoyable at points.

Yet another bare bones Mario game then. That seems like the default at the moment.

A new Paranormasight is cool! Other than that, nothing much new. And still no Professor Layton!!! Not many reasons to buy a Switch 2 yet.

Joke of a console.

I'd have loved amiibo of Chris, Jill, and Parker when they ported Revelations to the Switch. It's a shame!

Nintendo at their absolute worst here. An overpriced headset that requires the highest tier online subscription just to not be a useless paper weight.

@EarthboundBenjy The size limit of your town is different between versions. Hopefully this helps. https://www.reddit.com/r/octopathtraveler/comments/1n7zggg/square_announces_performance_details_town_limits/

@DDFawfulGuy I suspect they're trying to pander/appeal to the American readers.

@DDFawfulGuy Nintendo Life always watch the US version of Directs, then basically refer to that one only in any news. I'm surprised they even acknowledged the UK version exists here. It makes a change. And it's supposedly a British gaming news website.

The disrespect for Bubbles in this article!!!! The vastly superior clown! XD

Why do Sony and Nintendo keep swapping places on this? For a while Nintendo were okay with whatever, whilst Sony wouldn't let cartoon nudity on their platform. Now it's flipped again?!

@mouseclicker Yep. Americanised history again. Operation Rainfall was specifically to get the games released in NA. Nintendo Europe had already released them there.

This is one of my favourite games of all time! I really need to play it again soon! It's been (gasp) almost 14 years!!!

Fantastic! Can't wait for it!

Lovely to see an article on Scottish culture. Because you're Irish, I'll excuse you spelling whisky with an "e"! 😆

@Olliemar28 It felt like no reason, yeah. It's got the hall sticks present and correct, gyro aiming, the home button wake-up, and the brilliant rolling d-pad. The cons in your review basically amounted to "it's lighter", it feels cheaper, and buttons can't be remapped natively on the controller. They can however be remapped in the switch menu, I believe (if I'm wrong, I'll take back that point). But for half the price of the pro, I don't really understand what you expected? It seems brilliant for only £30 to me, compared to paying £70 for a 1st party controller. I was just left baffled by the review, more than anything.

Their Elves 2 controller is brilliant and only costs £30. It got absolutely slated by Ollie for no reason at all.

I'd love a little Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword set.

Or what about a little village in top-down style, ala Link's Awakening?

@Misima Plenty of kids today loving Sonic games and films. You sound a bit bitter and stuck in the past. There are plenty of good Sonic games, and saying they're all bad as if it's an objective fact just makes you come across as incredibly arrogant, I'm afraid.

It's reviews like this that make this site hard to trust with Nintendo's 1st party output, unfortunately. This simply isn't a 10/10 game. It's not even the best Animal Crossing game. Plenty of pointless busywork and crafting, but the life-sim part is gone pretty much entirely.

Oh thank heavens, they're not what I wanted from Pokemon Lego at all. The Mini Pokemon Centre is what I'd prefer, tbh. Minifigure sized trainers and building little Pokemon towns and routes would appeal to me far more..

@jojobar Well never, as I'm not American, but as for its equivalent in the UK (Game), I was buying games out of there up until my local branch closed down.

The scum at the top ruining everyone else's lives with their greed. Nothing new here, sadly.

I simply learned from how atrociously poor quality the original Switch was. The joy-con drift, break, and lose connection if you happen to rest your hand on your leg. The pro controller also had terrible analogue sticks. The prices now are way up, but Nintendo's build quality is down. I simply don't associate the brand with quality anymore, and am uninterested in paying their ludicrous prices anymore.

£60 for this, and it's a GKC on top. Nintendo have lost the plot.
