I haven’t been gaming much of late as life is doing its thing right now. I did manage to snag a Switch 2 bundle pre order so I’ll have to start something new from the depths of the eternal backlog until June 5.
@Ironcore Surely you are not! Been having a shotgun blast of a time with Shotgun Cop Man…it’s great to play in spurts and has some pretty neat gameplay aspects and provides a nice challenge to boot. It’s just you and me playing it this weekend by the looks of it 😝
@Ganner I finished Laika:Aged Through Blood a couple weeks back. What a game! Don’t stress about your time spent, I played a similar style where I like to explore the environments and such. Think I spent about 40 hrs on the game. It’s a gem. The game has stayed with me even after beating it…the story really does capture the brutality of the life of its inhabitants and the world they live in. The music is top notch…matches the overall tone of the game.
Nintendo does own the Astral Chain IP so there’s still a chance we get a sequel. I do believe Astral Chain sold atleast 1 Million so theres definitely still an audience there for it. Nintendo could simply cover some development cost and outsource a sequel with Eel Game Studio. Here’s hoping we get a sequel on Switch 2
@Gatorclops , @axelhander
$700 for a Nintendo console is insane. I see Mario Kart World is $109 🙄 same as the Pro Controller, the joycon are $124…pretty much $1000 if u get a Pro Controller and game 😬
The Switch 2 Direct had Backlogs around the world rejoicing! The Backlog shall remain undefeated!!..it’s only getting bigger (7.9 inch screen!), stronger (4K, up to 120 FPS) and faster with stuffs like Micro SD Express. It’s also getting more expensive 💰 and so many new games are incoming!! On the bright side we can soon press that C button and and conquer our backlogs together! 😝
I haven’t played games all week so I’m getting back to Laika:Aged Through Blood I’m in the end game now. It’s currently my GOTY…but that will be short lived! I still have Zelda:Echoes of Wisdom to play so that could be next up!
Need to give my XSX some love so back to Indiana Jones and I’ll give Avowed another shot.
I must admit it felt kinda weird watching Nintendo finally highlight stuff like 4K output and FPS…not a complaint but it shows they no longer want to be considered the “underpowered” option.
They will make a ton off character packs and new track DLC. Super Smash Bros Mario Kart Edition indeed! This will likely be the biggest console launch of all time…it’s a pretty stellar launch lineup
Imagine Nintendo posting on April 1st that the Switch 2 announcement has been delayed 😂
On a more serious note I’m not sure why this Switch 1 Direct is upsetting to some ppl? Why would Nintendo wait to highlight a bunch of Switch 1 games during the Switch 2 reveal?
@OorWullie With it being backward compatible with Switch 1 and an entire slew of new next gen Nintendo and 3rd party titles enroute …how can Switch 2 not boast the greatest gaming library of any console? It’s going to be a Divine beast of a console!
@Scoopz
I’m a XSX owner as well and you’re right it is a shame! I love the Xbox controller the same way, they just never recovered from the Xbox one DRM fiasco and here we are! At this rate it makes you wonder what’s the point of buying future Xbox hardware with all their games and exclusivity going multi plat? I’m all for Xbox gaming options on Nintendo platforms tho. If anything this will make Sony become even more complacent without the competition.
@StewdaMegaManNerd Ain’t that the truth! I also find that really challenging games inspire some very creative profanity!…I’ve swore at a Tv screen in ways I’d never imagined using on a human. It builds character and new ways of applying foul language at inanimate objects. 😝
@Eduard_Brenton Wow that’s really cool! I do wish u good luck at the festival. Ironically one way to stand out amongst your fellow stand up comedians is to sit on a chair. I will show myself out now
@Rykdrew Metroid Prime..or the Metroid series in general isn’t for everyone. It’s not meant to play as an FPS…as Nintendo considers it more of a First Person Adventure game. It’s all about feeling a sense of isolation and exploration and mind you…it was designed over 20 years ago! Nothing wrong with venting if you don’t like something!
@Ganner I’m still enjoying my play through of Ace Combat 7 there’s a funny glitch on the mission 444 where if you fail the mission you hear the guy repeatedly say “Shut up!…Shut up!” …cracked me up every time
I’m still playing thru Laika: Aged Through Blood and getting covered in Bird guts and loving it! I’m sure I’ll mix in some more Ace Combat 7 as well but I’ve also returned to Hollow Knight to finish up some post game content…this game is still a special gem…it didn’t click with me for sometime but it became one of my all time favs after giving it a proper go.
Also I’m probably the only one who’ll be playing Xenoblade X:Chronicles on the Wii U you cowards!!! Nothing more definitive than the original way to play the game. I was getting close to the end but never did finish it. The Wii U gamepad is the true OG Switch 😝
We are getting close to the Switch 2 reveal…gonna be funny looking back on all the speculation and hype once the dust settles.
Enjoy the 1st weekend of Spring!…and the last weekend to earn them Gold Points!
@MrCarlos46 I believe the Gold Points always had a 12 month expiration date. Nintendo wasnt gonna let us just sit on those points…you have to pay them back to Nintendo within 1 yr…insert Rihanna’s “B*tch better have my money!” 😝
Seems a lot of ppl are confused about this. They are ending the ability to EARN Gold points on the 24th. You can still spend your existing Gold Points after March 24. You just have to use them within 12 months of earning them.
@Theghostofkeithmoon This would seem like an obvious gameplay option to include the mouse functionality. Nintendo could once again further evolve FPS gameplay (even though they consider the Prime series as First Person Adventure). From aiming, and looking around and solving puzzles, switch between weapons the mouse functionality makes complete sense for Metroid Prime 4 and with showcase using MP4 as a …Prime example ( couldn’t help myself!)
Only a couple weeks to go before the big Switch 2 reveal. Soon all the speculation will turn into Switch 2 facts!
I’ve been playing Laika: Aged Through Blood🩸 It is one banger of a Metroidvania…it’s bloody, it’s brutal and has me hating Birds at the moment! The music just might be the best surprise about this game. Do not sleep on this one!
I’ve finally jumped into Ace Combat 7 and it is one solid port! There really aren’t a lot of air combat flight simulators on Switch 1. It’s got Top Gun vibes and shows how far games have come since classics like AfterBurner
Shout out to Gold Points on Switch , it was a nice incentive and reward for buying Physical games. I have a bunch saved up so I’ll spend it wisely as the Switch winds down. I’m not surprised if they’re non transferable to our Switch 2 accounts.
Have a great weekend everyone! Spring is almost upon us! As is the Switch Deux! 😉
I’m guessing it’s either $429 or $449! Ironically I have a thread running in the forums discussing the potential for the Switch 2 launch to be the biggest launch ever. I think it’s gonna be a record breaking launch.
This is pretty lame. Hopefully they announce a successor program for Switch 2. Now they mentioned our points expire after 12 months…is there any way to see an expiry date or do we get a notification?
@Iasaha I know exactly what you mean. It sounds odd for what’s essentially a bullet hell twin stick rogue-like but it’s definitely got a rhythm to it. I never imagined I’d consider it gaming comfort food but I’m at that point now. The game really does have an endless gameplay loop
@Bydlak Ah Ha! Ok thank you for confirming I’m not crazy lol. Yeah I remember that article now…I’m assuming this means the DLC will essentially become Katana Zero 2….err…Katana One perhaps? That was 4 years ago already…this game is a lowkey Silksong 😝
@Overzeal Yeah not sure what you’re looking at…let alone complaining about a game you’ve never played or actually seen does come off as ignorant. To each their own but you’re gonna miss out on a ton of gems with that approach
@Olliemar28 Thanks for the review! I forgot about this game as it disappeared from the Eshop. I’m glad I snagged it on the final day of the sale! Up there with the likes of Hollow Knight is certainly high praise. Do we know why the game was pulled for over a year?
@Markatron84 Mario Wonder really is quite the treat. It’s really cool to see the full evolution of classic 2D Mario. It is interesting how they’ve been able to expand on the Marioverse with all the playable characters available, the series has come along way but is still true to its roots! Astro Bot is a great game but ppl who think it has somehow surpassed Mario are out of their bleeping minds!
Ironically I’ve also yet to play Portal/Portal 2, they’ve been collecting digital dust in the backlog but I am looking forward to finally playing them.
I’ve finally started Mario Wonder and it’s been as fun and creative as expected. I’m sorry Astro Bot but Mario is still the epitome platform gaming. I’ve also gotten back into Enter the Gungeon! This game is comfort food gaming for me. Simple yet hard to master ya know?
I’ve already added Laika: Aged Through Blood to the backlog, looking forward to trying it out.
On Xbox Series X it’s been more Indiana Jones, Ninja Gaiden mixed in with some Lonely Mountains Downhill.
Strains on deck are Fruity Loopz , LA Kush Cake and some classic Girl Scout Cookies 🥴💨
@OorWullie It was bait. Nintendo hasn’t officially announced MK9 so I’m assuming that was purely a teaser. That was a hardware reveal! No software will be revealed until April. I was disappointed initially but realized that was a smart play from Nintendo. I don’t think what we saw was a final product by any means. I’m crossing the hell out of my fingers btw 😂. I know your not expecting 4K levels of upgrade either but the next Mario Kart should look much better than MK8 at the least in 2025
I’ve been saying it would be neat if they introduced the Wonder Seed to Mario Kart. Would be cool to see tracks get completely warped during sections. Could add some unique twists and strategy to the game
@OorWullie I get ppl are excited for a new Mario Kart entry but this looked so underwhelming. Not sure what ppl are gushing over..this LOOKS like the same Wii U game we’ve been playing for over a decade now. I’m hoping it’s not the final build as well and the April Direct shows a better looking version cuz that was pretty lacklustre in the reveal
I’m not going to lie I just figured SilkSong would be a Switch 2 launch title at this point. It makes complete sense. Ppl will literally poo if they announce a SilkSong edition Switch..😂...Amiibo perhaps? Not surprised at all if SilkSong is in the April Direct
@progx Yes! A Shield TV box would be pretty neat from Nintendo. It would make a lot of sense, NVIDIA would adore the opportunity to get their parts in another Nintendo console..NVIDIA Shield was underrated so it could be the perfect marriage to reintroduce Nintendo style
@progx I’m just thinking Nintendo is looking at like they have 150M+ Switch 1 devices out. They’re going to find a way to continue to implement its use. As a potential 2nd screen for Switch 2 it could hopefully maintain some value and give ppl a reason to continue using both systems, there are already a ton of Switch systems in households …it’s a massive foundation they can lay into still
Ppl saying their going to sell off their Switch 1 should hold off…there’s a chance Nintendo could still implement Switch 1+2 compatibility as a 2nd screen gameplay option.
Since when did Uncle_Franklin become Aunty Debbie Downer?😝 I mean they haven’t even announced much at all…maybe wait for some games and the full reveal before writing the system off? Just seems a tad premature for the negativity is all I’m saying
I would thoroughly enjoy Nintendo not announcing anything this week JUST to spite these clout chasing , leaker culture leaches 😂. No idea why sites are running with this “rumour” like it came from Nintendo itself. Nintendo pulling the rug from under us is exactly what the impatient masses need! So much butthurt if Nintendo doesn’t announce anything this Thursday and ppl have no one other then themselves to blame!
@obijuankanoobie, @BringleWorkshop
So random you both mention Sunset Riders, I’ve been considering purchasing it via the Eshop. Nostalgia is something else!…I remember the game in arcades. I remember trying to rent the SNES version at Blockbuster but it was ALWAYS rented out. Great co op 90s game…I also recall a picture on the back of the box with them running atop the bulls! 😝 Hopefully the game still holds up?!
@Ganner
That post cracked me up! @Zuljaras…always cool seeing a nice diversity of games over many systems, genres ! In case I missed it, the real question should be..what deal with the devil did you strike to ensure you’re the #1 post every single weekend?? 😝
@Ganner
I did try out Snowrunner btw…i can see its bizarre allure. I didn’t make it too far in but it has no business making getting stuck in mud and navigating rough terrain as intriguing as it does!! 😆
Didn’t Nintendo implement an “anti leak” system throughout the entire corporations some years back? They’d partnered with a firm that specializes in keeping things tight lipped. I’m almost thinking Nintendo is now just sitting back watching where the leaks are coming from and cutting future ties or reprimanding those sources.
@WiltonRoots 😂 This is pure comedy!!! Thanks for retrieving this gem of a post. Nintendolife should host a “Where Are They Now?!” Forum. This just goes to show all these predictions and leaks are absolutely meaningless. We know nothing!
@WiltonRoots It would make for some interesting reading looking back on these predictions, “leaks” and just people’s general reactions. There’s an easy write up for you Nintendolife! I remember all the NX hype and mock ups. This time around the internet is even more obsessive!
These leaks have brought out some passionate fans/trolls! I’m taking these leaks with a grain of salt, I’ll just wait for Nintendo to officially announce it. I’ll still be genuinely surprised when it’s revealed. It’s been entertaining seeing how emotional ppl are about these leaks tho 😂
@OorWullie I never understood why Nintendo didn’t get more credit for Glasses free 3D. 3D effect can be useful in gaming as Nintendo proved with the 3DS. I’d be all for it, kind of a nice feature when playing in portable. Pretty useless for those who play docked only tho.

That post cracked me up! @Zuljaras…always cool seeing a nice diversity of games over many systems, genres ! In case I missed it, the real question should be..what deal with the devil did you strike to ensure you’re the #1 post every single weekend?? 😝
@Ganner
I did try out Snowrunner btw…i can see its bizarre allure. I didn’t make it too far in but it has no business making getting stuck in mud and navigating rough terrain as intriguing as it does!! 😆
Re: Talking Point: Everyone Else Is Busy Revealing Switch 2 - What Gives, Nintendo?
Didn’t Nintendo implement an “anti leak” system throughout the entire corporations some years back? They’d partnered with a firm that specializes in keeping things tight lipped. I’m almost thinking Nintendo is now just sitting back watching where the leaks are coming from and cutting future ties or reprimanding those sources.

😂 This is pure comedy!!! Thanks for retrieving this gem of a post. Nintendolife should host a “Where Are They Now?!” Forum. This just goes to show all these predictions and leaks are absolutely meaningless. We know nothing!

@WiltonRoots
It would make for some interesting reading looking back on these predictions, “leaks” and just people’s general reactions. There’s an easy write up for you Nintendolife! I remember all the NX hype and mock ups. This time around the internet is even more obsessive!
Re: Is This Our Best Look Yet At 'Switch 2'?
These leaks have brought out some passionate fans/trolls! I’m taking these leaks with a grain of salt, I’ll just wait for Nintendo to officially announce it. I’ll still be genuinely surprised when it’s revealed. It’s been entertaining seeing how emotional ppl are about these leaks tho 😂

I never understood why Nintendo didn’t get more credit for Glasses free 3D. 3D effect can be useful in gaming as Nintendo proved with the 3DS. I’d be all for it, kind of a nice feature when playing in portable. Pretty useless for those who play docked only tho.
