Very cool though I do wish it was given a different typing than its standard mega.

@FrenchVaniIIuxe I don't know why you are so keen to push some weird false narrative around its sales. Ubisoft literally stated the series, Shadows included, had a "strong performance".

@FrenchVaniIIuxe Huh? Ubisoft literally just announced Shadows exceeded sales expectations.

Just scrap the whole thing and start again at this stage. Whatever Ubisoft are trying to do here is nothing that people liked about the original game.

Are these brand new regional Pokemon or just costumes?

@breach187 They are denouncing a company training AI on their past work, which is exactly what generative AI does... and something Square are openly pursuing.

Didn't Square announce last year that they were being "aggressive" when it comes to using AI? The irony.

As soon as I saw those pointless costume Pikmin I knew Niantic had to be involved somehow.

The update looks cute and is a nice little freebie.

Probably my game of the year but I have absolutely zero desire to get this underwhelming DLC with its even more underwhelming FOMO events.

Will wait for a sale due to so many platformers out at the moment, but great this has picked up strong reviews. The original was super underwhelming but Impossible Layer was excellent, glad this lives up to its quality.

@BANJO It's mentioned in the article that they haven't been split out for some reason.

I don't suppose Nintendo Life have the split of EA Sports FC on Switch vs. Switch 2? Given it's a Day 1 third party release, I'm curious to see the split. It just seems to be a combined figure above.

I'm not sure it really matters too much. I can't say I've ever been concerned nor thought about continuity in the Mario universe.

I’m getting quite nervous about Octopath. It’s like they took its name only and disregarded the things people liked about it, such as the individual character stories and 4-party battles.

@OLD64FOREVER I think EA may now own the rights?

I never played the original and really loved this game. Hopefully the port works out well.

The crazy thing about Forgotten Land getting a patch is that it's one of the few, if not the only, notable game releases in recent years to never have received a patch. Nintendo really playtest the hell out of their titles!

Please give us a Yooka Replaylee release date.

@Pillowpants Ya I think it's just a matter of pressing a button in each battle! it's a while since I plated but you should see it on the lower left corner of the screen. It can be switched on and off at any time.

@Pillowpants You can play the battles on 2x speed, have you tried that setting?

The base game is excellent but just not sure these additional add-ons are worth buying.

I'm really excited to see what Nintendo can do with the Switch 2 hardware if both Mario Kart and DK started life as Switch 1 titles.

God forbid anyone dares sell a Nintendo title for a few bucks below the RRP.

The only surprising thing is how weird Nintendo were about not announcing the developer when the game was revealed.

It was a bit of a faff to change my HDMI cable so I just left my original Switch 1 cable in place and used it on my Switch 2. Have just been reading up on it after this article so I'll definitely look to change it now as apparently it can make quite a difference. Whoops!

It's a solid launch line-up overall but for me it's missing a great single player exclusive. Donkey Kong will thankfully rectify that next month but it's meant I haven't spent as much time on my Switch 2 as I expected.

@Magician Video games are supposed to be fun but ultimately meaningless.

This is long overdue a sequel, especially with those sales. Activision's aversion to releasing new Crash and Spyro titles is infuriating.

It was a tough choice because all 3 are so ugly.

@Truegamer79 It’s just too much of a faff to hook up my Wii U to play one game. I’ll wait for the HD port which hopefully comes soon.

@ZAHMED Nope, it probably won’t update and charge you until early next week.

I’ve mine pre ordered for delivery from Smyths, they’re usually excellent for delivery so I’m expecting it early on release day.

Hopefully SEGA learned from Mario Wonder releasing the same week as the last 2D Sonic and don’t drop this at the same time as Mario Kart World.

I was a bit disappointed at the amount of tracks until I saw the price which seems super reasonable.

@Anti-Matter you’ll be waiting.

@Yalloo They fully rebooted development on it due to the poor reaction to this trailer. I'd expect it to look far better whenever Ubisoft next show it.

I will be using it 0% of the time. Nintendo have spent a silly amount of time showing off this "feature" which shows your friends games running like a slideshow. They clearly felt they needed a gimmick this gen but it's totally unnecessary.

@Pillowpants It might be graphically pared back but I'd be shocked if we don't see a version of Monster Hunter Wilds on Switch 2. There's no way Capcom would ignore that much of an opportunity.

I'm not sure users leaving genuine reviews of what's being deemed a mediocre/bad game really counts as "review bombing".

Yet all the high paid execs, the one’s responsible for poor business decisions, will keep their jobs. Disgusting.

I'm not quite sure he "beat" the game in this timeframe if he just loaded a save state and beat the boss?

I can’t say I’ve ever found the charge times particularly bad. The charge lasts so long it’s such a rare occurrence. My PS5 controller on the other hand needs charging every other day.

@Anti-Matter It's ok to post about other games.

I had such high hopes from Rime but it ran so so badly on Switch, a real shame.
