Many games use X to jump, some even use triggers. Remap or get used to it, either way is fine. I always try the default controls unless they make no sense. This was logical and worked well.
So there is a risk of frying your Switch 2 on top of bricking it. Hard pass, especially since the price isn't that great if you need to buy the power supply.
I bet the last boss is Frieza, since the previous one was SSJ Vegeta. I definitely won't preorder it until I know if the story isn't complete BS like the first one (prequel my foot).
Isolated frame rate drops is the worst deal-breaker. Because of the frame rate in the Korok forest in BOTW, I could only stomach playing a few hundreds of hours.
That's only a problem for people who want to be tied to digital versions. Maybe they should go physical to support competion over video game prices. If not, they have no business complaining about it.
They named the company like a shovelware. Also "next-gen"... It's annoying when used for console BS marketing, but this is even more ridiculous for an SD card.
Custom local multoplayer knockout tour with customisable lenght with possibility to go through rainbow road. Also rainbow road in free roam. And why not a Mario galaxy inspired race, going from planet to planet. Or maybe they'll keep it for Mario Kart Universe on Switch 3.
@Spider-Kev You're right, they did with the steam machine. It went pretty much unnoticed, unlike the steam deck.
I was thinking more of the recent rumours about a new home console. Now that they have a big success with portable console, people would probably trust them with a PS6/Xbox (random name) competitor. I'd probably go for a steam console and drop playstation.
I'm sure Nintendo has an army of shinobi. They should use them against scalpers. Not for assassination, but to make scalped items magically return to the stores without refund (and assassination if they insist on scalping again).
I don't get the aim of this app. Forcing people to install a specific app to get news means it won't reach most potential buyers. I'm not installing it, so if it's not on NL or youtube, I won't see it.
You don't just drop support the soon-to-be best selling console of all time. Of course they will release games they started developing, even if they release them as cross gen.
Nintendo has the weirdest job titles, like Miyamoto who's "Creative fellow ". I'm sure it means something to them, but Charles Martinet probably still has no idea what his job is as Mario ambassador.
The second player will play a banana. It'll be the equivalent of giving your dumb little brother the unplugged controller so he'd let you play in peace.
And nobody saw that coming at Genki? Of course Nintendo is demanding a pound of flesh... Probably more.
@Bigmanfan I read the article quickly, but it seems Genki wasn't in business with Nintendo, so they wouldn't have signed an NDA. So this is more like corporate espionnage.
I never understood why they went for orange. Nintendo's and the switch's colour is red. They didn't even go for the original joycon colours. Red and blue would make much more sense.

Re: Japan's National Library Says Game-Key Cards Are Not Eligible For Preservation
Now they need to open a piracy branch in the library and call it "true preservation"?
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's Dig Button Placement Is All Thanks To Miyamoto

Re: Gulikit Unveils New Premium Controllers Compatible With Switch And Switch 2
Who in their right mind would buy a Switch controller with the awful PS stick placement?

So there is a risk of frying your Switch 2 on top of bricking it. Hard pass, especially since the price isn't that great if you need to buy the power supply.
Re: Nintendo Patent Featuring Crank And "Clickable Wheel" Attachments For Joy-Con 2 Surface
I'd love to see a compilation of Nintendo patents that were never used.
Re: Switch Is Now Within Touching Distance Of The DS' Lifetime Sales
PS2 sales are complete BS. Sony is just inventing numbers at this point, so even the original 155 millions can't be trusted.
Nintendo should counteract this lie by saying the virtual boy sold 161 million units.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Teases New Construct In Fresh Trailer

Re: 'The Knightling' Has Gone Gold, But The Switch Version Has Been Axed
The only reason devs don't make switch version is because it requires much more optimisation. So a switch 2 version is a no trainer.
Re: Random: Donkey Kong Bananza Players Are Already Skipping Layers And Transformations
Next challenge: finish the game with Pauline as a rock. I'm sure someone will manage it.
Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto Did Exactly What We Did When Playtesting Donkey Kong Bananza
He was role-playing as an ape climbing trees in BOTW. Now he's destroying everything, like link breaking every pots he sees.
Re: Random: We're Big Fans Of This Switch 2 Summer Gaming Solution
You can also have infinite battery life if you connect both usb together. One will charge the other and your switch 2 will magically charge itself.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Credits Confirm The Voice Actors Behind DK And Pauline
@Princess_Lilly Pokemon is developed by Game Freak, not Nintendo.
Re: "Somewhat Mixed" - Digital Foundry Delivers Its Technical Analysis Of Donkey Kong Bananza

Re: Nintendo Announces First Cast Members For The Legend Of Zelda Movie
I can only imagine the casting selection for link:
Re: Donkey Kong Might Be Getting His Own Movie
1h30 of Seth Rogen not even pretend to be an ape... Hard pass.
Re: DK Bananza Devs "Needed To Know More About Donkey Kong," So They Went To Miyamoto
The only thing to know: DK is closer to a human than Mario after seeing actual humans in Mario Odyssey.
Also we need a DK rap single sung by Miyamoto in a DK costume.
Re: Nintendo Will Discontinue Switch Game Vouchers Entirely In 2026
That's only a problem for people who want to be tied to digital versions. Maybe they should go physical to support competion over video game prices. If not, they have no business complaining about it.

Re: Feature: Three Laps, Two Players, One Vegas Jumpsuit - 10 Things We'd Love To See Added To Mario Kart World
Custom local multoplayer knockout tour with customisable lenght with possibility to go through rainbow road.
Also rainbow road in free roam. And why not a Mario galaxy inspired race, going from planet to planet. Or maybe they'll keep it for Mario Kart Universe on Switch 3.
Re: Rainbow Road Master Is Back In Mario Kart World, And He's Already Setting Records
I've raced on rainbow road at least 3 times, so I'm pretty confident I'd be in the top 8 billion players.
Re: Fans Have Noticed Someone's Name Is Missing From Mario Kart World's Credits
Charles Martinet should also be mentioned as the official Mario ambassador and former voice of so many characters.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Chip "Unlike Anything We've Ever Built Before" Says Nvidia CEO
You don't need a dedicated nuclear plant to power it, unlike their latest GPUs, that's called progress.
Re: Video: Do You Even Need A Pro Controller For The Switch 2?
I'll stick the the original pro controller until I find it at a huge discount
Re: Nintendo Prepping For All Switch 2 Eventualities With 'Out Of Stock' Signs
That's a real collector's item. It would fit perfectly behind an amiibo collection.

Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Eyes "Popular" Princess Pick
@HyruleWanderer Zelda is rather manly and a real hero, always saving the unnamed princess. I wonder why they renamed him Link in BotW.
Could it be that the Hollywood idiots think Zelda is the hero???
Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Eyes "Popular" Princess Pick
I wonder how much Miyamoto has to say about casting. If this goes through, there won't be a Nintendo adaptation for another 30 years.
Re: Xbox Has Reportedly Sidelined Its First-Party Handheld (For Now)
It feels like the console market might change a lot, except for Nintendo who will never care, being the king of its niche with it's awesome IPs.
If Xbox goes full handheld/hybrid, Sony won't be alone for long, and Steam might build a home console.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Listed As A Summer Game Fest 2025 Partner
I could see Miyamoto dressed as Donkey Kong holding a giant banana, peeling it and revealing a Switch 2 inside. How fun would that be?
Re: Nintendo Is Taking Even More Steps To Prevent Switch 2 Scalping In Japan
I'm sure Nintendo has an army of shinobi. They should use them against scalpers. Not for assassination, but to make scalped items magically return to the stores without refund (and assassination if they insist on scalping again).

Re: Embracer Group Renames Its Lord Of The Rings-Themed Gaming Division
Sadly, "Potential Mass Layoff" is the most accurate name for any Embracer division. "Stained Reputation" would also work.
Re: PSA: You Can Use Mouse Controls On The Switch 2 HOME Menu
I want to know if you can use the TV as a giant mouse pad, making this news even more accurate.
Re: Another Switch 2 "Code-In-Box" Physical Release Appears Online
Some publishers are trying to make game key cards look good in comparison. This is utterly ridiculous.
Re: Nintendo Reiterates Plan To Continue Bringing Out "New Titles" For Switch
You don't just drop support the soon-to-be best selling console of all time. Of course they will release games they started developing, even if they release them as cross gen.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Open To Sequel, But Admits Updates Are "Much Easier"
Any news on a Switch 2 upgrade? I still have it on my replay list, but he keeps announcing more content, so I'm waiting for the best time to play it
Re: Nintendo Appoints Doll Company Executive As A New Outside Director
Nintendo has the weirdest job titles, like Miyamoto who's "Creative fellow ". I'm sure it means something to them, but Charles Martinet probably still has no idea what his job is as Mario ambassador.
Re: Rumour: Donkey Kong Bananza May Include A Local Multiplayer Component

It'll be the equivalent of giving your dumb little brother the unplugged controller so he'd let you play in peace.
Re: Talking Point: With Prices Rising, Are Your Gaming Habits Changing?
My habits changes a decade ago when games were unfinished at launch. So I got used to wait for a big discount and enjoy a finished game.
Re: Nintendo May Record Video And Audio From GameChat Sessions On Switch 2
So it's not free, yet you still are the product? Did they hire too many people from evil businesses?
Re: Ubisoft's Switch 2 Physical Release Of Star Wars Outlaws Is A "Game-Key Card"
At least key cards are clearly displayed on the box. Code in the box was way worse, but I'm not happy about that all digital distopia.
@vincentgoodwin There were also games like LA Noire that required a partial download because they couldn't bother to go for the bigger storage.
Re: Accessory Manufacturer Genki Responds To Nintendo's Switch 2 Lawsuit
I don't think Genki lawyers are having a good time. They are pretty much fighting with unloaded BB guns against overtrained ninjas.

Ecco the Game Cube

Re: Rumour: Yuji Horii Might Have Let Slip Some Massive Remake News
Any square game from that era deserves a proper remake. FF6, Chrono trigger Bahamut lagoon.
Re: Poll: Orange Or Red Switch eShop - Make Your Choice
I never understood why they went for orange. Nintendo's and the switch's colour is red. They didn't even go for the original joycon colours. Red and blue would make much more sense.
Re: Astral Chain Director/Nier Automata Lead Designer Quits PlatinumGames
Maybe Platinum games really wants to focus exclusively on GaaS, so the best employees are leaving this sinking ship.
Re: Astral Chain Director/Nier Automata Lead Designer Quits PlatinumGames
@Alcea NieR is a Squeenix IP. Platinum only developed Automata.

Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller
@Olliemar28 you should call these articles "Nintendo Life Today". I really appreciate it since I have no intention of ever installing Nintendo today.
