The console market has changed a lot in such a short space of time.
It is why I love that Nintendo still do the console stuff traditionally i.e. release hardware and offer quality first party titles to encourage you to buy their platform.
Even Sony seem to have forgotten that chasing the live service trend.
Xbox as a console platform is barely clinging on. But Nintendo will reap the benefits as Xbox games will likely jump to Switch 2.
No probs. As for the other concerns you raised. Don't waste your time worrying about things you have no control over.
If you think a game or srrvice is too expensive don't pay the money. But worrying about stuff like ongoing legal battles and patents etc? Forget that stuff.
Is that the US where Switch 2 just had a record launch beating PS4 by a good half a million? And where the Switch 2 and Switch 1 were the 1st and 3rd best selling systems in June 25 respectively?
Well basically Mario Kart World is going to match near what the Switch 2 sells every week as it is part of the Switch 2 bundle so going to be hard for any game to top it for a while.
Switch 2 only is a bit odd. Probably just trying to get that "new console exclusive" sales before arriving on every other platform known to man in 6 months.
According to some sensitive folks Digital Foundry apparently hates Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony whilst at the same time loving Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

More Retro videos is excellent news.

Nintendo apparently requests any videos on the Directs are a proper representation of the games running on Switch. And rightly so.
Re: Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, Silksong All Playable At Nintendo's Gamescom Booth
To me this is confirmation of a proper Nintendo Direct next week. To confirm release dates for all the games in attendance that don't have one yet.

A proper team effort!
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Is Now "Content Complete"
Unfortunately I can't see this doing well and being very bad for Playtonic.
Bottom line is their third game being a remaster of their first game is simply not very clever.
I hope to be proven wrong and it is a massive success for them but just can't see it.
Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound (Switch) - A Gorgeous & Gory Return To The Series' 2D Roots
A 2D game that can't even hold a steady 30fps should not be getting an 8.
Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist
Silksong will be saved for a proper Direct.
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Will "Average" 30fps On Switch
Unacceptable for a 2d game.
Re: PSA: You Can Now Remap Super NES Controls With Nintendo Switch Online
Just being able to put all the L and R functions on ZL and ZR will be great without having to go into system wide control mapping.
Work wonders with Killer Instinct as well!
Now how about getting rid of those awful borders for standard black ones?

Re: UK Charts: No Prizes For Guessing Who Overtook Donkey Kong Bananza This Week

I mean, what do you want them to do? De-list Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
It's one of the most popular games of all time. Probably still be selling when Switch 3 comes out.
Re: Review: WWE 2K25 (Switch 2) - The Best Wrestling Game You'll Find On A Switch
Impressive performance. Based on this very interested to see how the next NBA2K and Fifa (it's still Fifa to me dammit!) games play.
Re: Japanese Charts: Donkey Kong Bananza Sells A Bunch, But Can't Beat Mario Kart
@johnedwin
Are you being deliberately dense?
Mario Kart World is sold in a Switch 2 bundle that makes up the vast majority of Switch 2 sales.
If Switch 2 sells 500 thousand units then so does MKW.

Strong start for Donkey Kong.

Re: Review: Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV - A Fantastic Addition To An All-Time Party Game
Leaving original mode untouched visually is just lazy. Especially if Nintendo are charging the same for Switch 2 game as MKW.

It is affecting developers/publishers who had/have a history with Nintendo.
Not difficult to figure out.

Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"
@sethfranum
You sound unhinged.
You are aware that Street Fighter 6 on Series S has a bug which is why it looks worse than even the PS4 version in some respects.
Or did you not do your research?

OLED for Switch 2 would have been amazing but people would baulk at the price.
Made more sense to wait a few years and offer it as an upgrade option.

Not at all Nintendo has constantly had mini Directs or Indie Directs then had a big Direct following a few days/week after.
