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.

This is genuinely sexist. They're not covering up the topless men.

It's nothing new from the supposed "land of the free". I'm just glad the PAL regions aren't being affected by the US for a change.

I honestly feel like I'm being gas lit. The Switch 1 version doesn't have "overall poor performance" or is a "generally subpar experience". Did we play different games?! I've been playing it tons since it came out and never once thought the performance was bad. I literally have no idea what this review is talking about.

"And the worst part is we paid for it and nothing we can do; Ubisoft doesn't care."

This right here is why we need physical copies of games; for returning or selling on. Until console manufacturers have a proper refund system, I won't be purchasing expensive games digitally.

Sounds like some good updates. I'm loving the game!

Look, come on, "unlocks" is a verb. The noun is "unlockable".

Funny you should post this article. I actually just started playing it again daily around 2 weeks ago. I've cleaned up the town and am trying to finish the various museum collections!

I'm sorry, but most Switch 2 games are just far too expensive. I'm not paying over £60 for a cutesy racing game.

Nintendo and terrible hardware quality have gone hand in hand since the beginning of the Switch generation.

I'm not necessarily against buying a game digitally, but Nintendo doesn't have proper refund policies, and this is £58.99!! Not a chance! Pokemon games never go on sale and there's no physical release, so I won't be buying this (and there goes any reason for me to buy a Switch 2). The Steam Machine is looking awfully tempting.

And that's the one game shown so far that I might have bought a Switch 2 for. Not now.

Hopefully much cheaper than the Deku Tree.

EA clearly didn't bother to test this at all. I'll stick to the original PC version and DS version.

So it's not a community list? It's just a list by writers from Nintendo Life and IGN?

It already plays fine on Switch, but hopefully this'll help people who are allergic to 30 FPS to stop moaning.

@TrueBlueYoshi It's already cross-platform on Switch. So it's bizarre to see Nlife point it out as if it's a Switch 2 exclusive feature.

£25 for this so soon after launch is just ridiculous. Absolute money grabbing from the Pokemon Company and Nintendo here.

The finale level to Rhythm Paradise on the Wii springs to mind.

The best Animal Crossing soundtrack for the best game in the series.

Just like everything else from Nintendo this generation; ridiculously overpriced.

@Ploppy Like shake the whole console? No, I don't think it does.
