For anyone wondering, Bowser is NOT the president of the company as a whole, a guy named Shuntaro Furukara is. He is largely responsible for the company's decisions, even now, which is why I am hopeful for the next president of the company (not just the American division).
@NatiaAdamo Their PR IS pretty bad. Remember when Doug Bowser pulled a Don Mattrick and suggested that if you can't afford a Switch 2, just buy a Switch 1? That was embarrassing.
"My PTSD flashbacks to The Last Judge" Was it THAT hard? I might have to look this up. Edit: As I was typing in the search bar, Silksong and "bench" came up so the reviewer was saying there's some BS in the game. Gotcha.
@ShieldHero The collection is being released for the original Switch, so a Game Key Card isn't even a possibility. The Switch 2 enhancements are via an update, kinda like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
The Switch 2 needs some third-party titles to make the wait for Metroid Prime 4 easier. I am a little disappointed that it's not a general direct, but we do know what's coming, just not when.
@Orwellian87 I'm not excited for the next Call of Duty either, since I know I'm definitely not going to play it. They're more of an inevitability than anything else.
@MikeP I mostly saw people screwing around with the AI. They fixed it so it wouldn't say swears anymore because a Fortnite streamer dropped the F-bomb and the AI repeated it on stream.
Nintendo has always had a history of being WAY too protective of their property, but this is next level. I am definitely not surprised they are not trying to pull this in Europe since, unlike the US, they actually have consumer protection laws.
Well, this is not at all surprising, considering who is publishing the game. At least, you are getting the gold edition for less than on Xbox, PS, or PC. That is something, at least.
At least Ubisoft TRIED to fix the game's issues, but they shouldn't have had to fix them. I haven't had a chance to play it, but I heard varying opinions on it.
$69.99 I can live with, but $139.99? Yeah, no thanks. I am aware that the collection is half off right now, and there are nine games in it, but $140 is still a lot of money, and that's not even accounting for sales tax.

Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Announces Retirement
@Suketoudara Let's wait and see, though that looks promising.

Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Announces Retirement
I hope Pritchard can fix the issues that are plaguing the company right now. Good luck.

Re: Aspyr Brings Deus Ex Remastered To Switch Next February
I was not expecting a remaster of Deus Ex. What a welcome surprise.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
I value my health too much to get this. The original caused headaches and wicked eye strain.
Re: Nickelodeon Splat Pack Revives Multiple SNES Titles In One Retro Collection
If there were more games, the $35 price could be worth it.
Re: Review: JSAUX EnergyFlow Joy-Con Charging Dock For Switch 2 - A Colourful Option If You've Got A Two Pair
I will admit, the charging grip does look pretty.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
I still have my copy of Super Mario 3D All-Stars from 2020, so I'll likely just get Galaxy 2 and be done with it.

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Showcases Island Life, Coming To Switch Spring 2026
The elderly man saying, "When is the game coming out?" was literally me.
Re: Virtual Boy Is Being Added To Nintendo Switch Online
I'm not going to try this, but it sure surprised me.
Re: A Brand New Yoshi Adventure Is Heading To The Switch 2
The art style is fantastic, but these Yoshi games don't always have the best track record.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Bundle Confirmed For Switch, Launching October
At least Galaxy 2 is on Switch now, but the collection is $70, and each game is $40.
Re: "I Have No Words" - Silksong Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over One Bench
Sometimes even the most innocent thing can be deadly, as this bench shows.
Re: "We Answer To Nobody But You, The Audience" - Digital Foundry Is Now Fully Independent
I forgot that their parent company was owned by IGN, but that's great news! The less IGN owns, the better.
Re: Apex Legends Gets A Switch 2 Upgrade & Release Next Week
We got Apex on Switch 2 before Minecraft on Switch 2. Crazy
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
@N8tiveT3ch That would be cool.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
The Switch 2 needs some third-party titles to make the wait for Metroid Prime 4 easier. I am a little disappointed that it's not a general direct, but we do know what's coming, just not when.
Re: Rumour: SpongeBob SquarePants Is Bringing A New Game To Switch 2
THQ Nordic (the publisher) has their own direct in the beginning of August, so maybe the game will show up there.
Re: Microsoft Announces Another Wave Of Layoffs, Over 9,000 Jobs Affected
@Orwellian87 I'm not excited for the next Call of Duty either, since I know I'm definitely not going to play it. They're more of an inevitability than anything else.
Re: Microsoft Announces Another Wave Of Layoffs, Over 9,000 Jobs Affected
@Orwellian87 I know Call of Duty is one of them, but I'm not sure what the other ones are.
Re: Microsoft Announces Second Wave Of Layoffs, Over 9,000 Jobs Affected
@Orwellian87 They promised to put some of their games on the Switch 2.
Re: Poll: Switch 2 Battery Reportedly Lasting Under Two Hours With Mario Kart - How Is Yours Holding Up?
I don't have a Switch 2, but that's pretty bad.
Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Eyes "Popular" Princess Pick
Tbh, you could do worse. She could be a solid Zelda once she learns more about the games.
Re: Rumour: Iconic Studio Codemasters May Soon Close For Good
Sucks to see them go. Had fun with Grid and some of the Dirt games.
Re: Now Switch 2 Setup Walkthrough Videos Are Popping Up Online
I think cartridge tasting WILL be next
Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With AI Darth Vader Voice, And Of Course It's Been Swearing
@MikeP I mostly saw people screwing around with the AI. They fixed it so it wouldn't say swears anymore because a Fortnite streamer dropped the F-bomb and the AI repeated it on stream.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
@sethfranum Nintendo said themselves that their first-party games are NOT key card games.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
Glad it's not $80 for the Switch 2 Edition, cause that would be ridiculous.
Re: Fortnite Turns To The Dark Side With New AI-Generated Darth Vader Chats
Why? Just why did Epic think this is a good idea?
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Final Tech Specs Have Been Confirmed
@Clammy I'm sure Nintendo will think of this by adding an option to restrict the feature in the Parental Controls app.
Re: Gearbox's Randy Pitchford Admits Borderlands 4 Might Follow Nintendo's New Pricing
Let's be honest. Even if Borderlands 4 is $80, it will go on sale in no time. And I get most of my games on sale.
Re: Gearbox's Randy Pitchford Admits Borderlands 4 Might Follow Nintendo's New Pricing
@RudyC3 Almost forgot Gearbox made that game. They completely mismanaged it by putting most of their resources into Borderlands 2.
Re: Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation
Nintendo has always had a history of being WAY too protective of their property, but this is next level. I am definitely not surprised they are not trying to pull this in Europe since, unlike the US, they actually have consumer protection laws.
Re: Another Switch 2 "Code-In-Box" Physical Release Appears Online
Not even a Key-Card release? Really? Typical 2K.
Re: Unlike Nintendo, EA's Game Prices Apparently Won't Be Rising Any Time Soon
Considering EA, this is surprising.
Re: Random: John Romero Wants Rip And Tear-Proof Joy-Con On Switch 2
Genuinely hoping that Joy Con Drift will be fixed with the Switch 2, especially since Nintendo has had years to do so.
Re: Former Assassin's Creed Lead Isn't Happy About Switch 2's Game-Key Cards
I agree with this dev. Also, for the record, the dev doesn't even work for Ubisoft, so this is him and him only saying this.
Re: Ubisoft's Switch 2 Physical Release Of Star Wars Outlaws Is A "Game-Key Card"
Well, this is not at all surprising, considering who is publishing the game. At least, you are getting the gold edition for less than on Xbox, PS, or PC. That is something, at least.
Re: Game Devs Weigh In On Switch 2, And A "Much Better" eShop Is A Must
What I Want: Actual, legitimate quality control.
Re: Opinion: Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance
At least Ubisoft TRIED to fix the game's issues, but they shouldn't have had to fix them. I haven't had a chance to play it, but I heard varying opinions on it.
Re: Star Wars: Grand Collection For Switch Now Available, Nine "Iconic" Games In One
$69.99 I can live with, but $139.99? Yeah, no thanks. I am aware that the collection is half off right now, and there are nine games in it, but $140 is still a lot of money, and that's not even accounting for sales tax.
