There is a 16 GB RAM stick in it?

@nessisonett Okay I could be misremembering that. But the case stands he (my brother) loved Fifa a lot more than PES.

Myself I only played Fifa against him, and didn't even get Mario Strikers until the Wii version. (and the Switch version) So I don't really know. I have played PES before, but didn't care for it much.

@nessisonett PES was always more arcade like and Fifa was always more a football-sim. At least that was how my brother used to see it. (And he should know, Fifa is almost the only thing he plays).

And no we're not young.

I still have memories of my big bro getting his PlayStation 2 (before that we played only on PC, and yes Fifa) to play Fifa in his room in the early 2000s. Not long after I bought my first console: a Cube with The Wind Waker. I also got Fifa for it later, so I could be player one for some matches against my brother.

I loved the classic Turok games on PC back in the day. (I feel so old writing that) So I will absolutely get this. But it might be on PC, though.

@CR0J0 Indeed this is basically a 'live service' game. You need internet for it to work.

@anoyonmus The PES games never where better than Fifa. So I doubt it. But happy to see some competition on the football game genre.

@Gil7R There are even more co-op games that also offer single player options. But forcing two players limits the (re-)playability of the game and honestly is just lazy on the developer.

@Nintendontyouknow those won’t be in a PARTNER direct.

Forced co-op is a direct no-go for me, sadly.

Day one for me.

Mario Tennis Fever for me and Resident Evil 9 on PC.

2030? That would still be sooner than GTA6

@metaphysician Stock price = money. I merely simplified it for most people

@Friendly Well yeah, inverstors only care about money. Putting developers' time on something that doesn't directly make money is a waste.

Ad shows family playing game. Honestly there is not much Wii about this ad, except for Nintendo making these kinds of ads since the Wii era.

The game looks fun, though.

@Otimus I also count Switch 2 Editions. Which means I also counted Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch 2 Edition. So only september without a game. One month in almost a year.
One. And Nintendo usually has one month during the summer months without releases.

Now for PS5 tell me every FIRST party game released last year per month.

@Retron At least one first party game releasing every month since release is not bare.

A full 3D Zelda in 2026? Sorry but that's not very probable. 3D Zeldas are usually annnounced long in advance. Also with Mario Tennis Fever and Super Mario Wonder Switch 2 editions we have all the Mario we need for at least the first half of the year.

I do hope we'll see a Zelda remake or rerelease of some sort. And a Q4 Mario game... so.. a Nintendo Direct anyone?

Switch 2 already outsold the Wii U. Okay that's not hard, but.. within one year!

Looks better than Fashion Dreamer. Which I really didn't like.

There is a demo of the game on Steam.

Top 4 of Nintendo exclusives. And that for the UK?

@Anti-Matter Strange you think you are allowed to say what you want but also want to police what other people say. And no I didn't say you have to, I merely did a suggestion. Because coming next generation, the chance of it still having any physical media is somwhere between 0 and 0,001%.
Soon you'll want gamekeycards.

MIO is great fun, but am playing it on XBOX Gamepass.

@Anti-Matter Honestly, at this rate you should just switch to board games.

Mario Tennis Fever
Pokémon Pokopia
Monster Hunter Stories 3

and
Resident Evil 9 but on PC.

11/12. Only got the Tomodachi life release date incorrect. Since I honestly don't really care about that game.

Nope. I didn't like the game on 3DS, and I doubt I will like it on Switch. Nintendo should've left the Miis on the Wii and Wii U.

Nintendo does not police content in the eShop, but games are required to follow local laws and guidelines. And then it's either you make one game for everywhere following every guideline, or it's a game per region or multiple regions with similar guidelines.

Nintendo might give advice on what is allowed in a certain region though. So basically every statement is actually correct, but in the end it's the guidelines that determine what isn't allowed.

I do wonder if this will also come to the Nintendo Music app. Usually I buy some of these soundtracks via Play-Asia.com.

@BrewsterTea Like I already said, I spend on the menu about a second. And to be honest. The menu does EVERYTHING I need. It shows me my games, it shows the store to buy new games, it shows settings. And all that quick and seemless. I do NOT want that to change EVER. I WANT A FAST OS ON MY SWITCH. I compared my Switch 2 to my XBOX Series X and PS5 from a cold boot to launching a game. The Switch 2 wins. Every. Single. Time.

I do NOT! want themes on my Switch. Ever.

Even if I use my Switch 2 daily for 8 years and play 4 games every day. I take 2 seconds to switch games. (total 8) That is 23.360 seconds, roughly 6,5 hours. For that the Switch 2 menu looks beatiful enough.

@BrewsterTea A house is not a tool, it's a place where you live. I spend most of my day inside my house. I spend a second inside a menu. So that comparison is just stupid. And yes, for that time I spend in my house I have decorated just how I like. But no I do not see a need to decorate something I look at for only a couple of seconds. At all. My PC background is simple, I always have a browser window, Visual Studio or a game open. Why would I want a nice background?

My phone I use purely as how I have used older phones. To make/receive calls, send messages and when in a hurrry, surf the web. The only customisation I did was put it in a nice protective case.

@OmnitronVariant You can, and I am not saying the Switch 2 or even the Switch couldn't have themes. I am saying it shouldn't have them. Working as a developer I've learned that less is more, always.

@BrewsterTea A Switch is not a phone or a home. Sorry to break it to you. It's a games console. Created to play games. Prior to the DS, Nintendo handhelds didn't have a menu. Prior to the GameCube Nintendo consoles didn't have one either. And on both you could choose to boot directly into the game.

To be entirely honest, THAT (boot to game) would be a major feature I would want on Switch 2. Just insert a cartridge and boot to it, or boot to the most recently played downloaded game. If I want to go to the menu, I'd press the home button.

And to be even more frank with you. On my Phone I use the default wallpaper same goes for my PC. I couldn't care less.

@BrewsterTea @OmnitronVariant Any memory spent on graphics, music etc. is not spent on a fluid UI. And yes, the new 3DS was faster than the 3DS. But it still took a lot of time to go from a fresh boot into settings and, for example, change the date and time. Where on Switch (2) it's basically.. less than a second. (Wii U's main menu and settings was also very slow, not as slow as on 3DS but tens of seconds slower than the Switch 1, and the Wii U actually wasn't a lot less powerful)

I don't like staring at a menu, I want menu's to be there when I need them and be gone the milisecond I don't.

For a very good example of this.. The Elder Scrolls Skyrim.

Menu in this game is extremely boring and simple. But that's absolutely a win for the game. Since you can immerse yourself fully in the awesome open world.

• reads the comments *

Nope, not going to reply to the comments here.

• on topic *

I didn't really like the game on 3DS, and honestly I am not a fan of Miis in general. So I am going to skip this. But content wise it does seem to be a nice life sim game from Nintendo.

@OmnitronVariant I don't miss waiting 5 minutes just be able to change a simple setting. Switch/Switch 2 UI is literally endlessly better than the 3DS ever was.

The game over Golden Sun 1 (GBA) gives when you decline the main quest is still one of my favorites.

@9-Volt They reviewed the EU version.

That's a big update.

@Hank_Scorpio Somewhere in the Next 340 days. I'm sure.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch 2 Edition
Pokémon Legends Z-A Switch 2 Edition
Balatro (PC or Switch 2)
Guild Wars: Reforged (PC)

So the upgrade pack includes multiplayer DLC and a playable Rosaline + luma? Not really needed tbh as a purchase for me. I might still get it if I can find a nice discount on the upgrade code.

@UpsideDownRowlet @Friendly People started working after the holidays indeed, most likely.

But I do feel that a Nintendo Direct (of some sort) is coming soon. And ofcourse the Pokémon 30 year anniversary.

@JayJ The PlayStation layout is better for FPS games since it makes aiming and strafing easier. But for anything else.. it's the worst.

Youtube reviews of this controller hasn't been all that good. And I tried their previous controller and didn't really like it either. Compared to original controllers or even 8bitdo controllers these are absolutely somewhere between awful and bad.

YT review I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IfE98m4yNE

For now I am going to stick to my Switch 2 Pro / JoyCon Controllers.

Best €5 I've spent in a long time.

@squid_beak_platoon I hope so. The Switch lite still is my favorite formfactor. A Switch 2 lite would be awesome.

@Nintendoid720 Actually this one is over the normal €0,10/piece most licensed Lego sets have.

This one is even more expensive than the big coming Pokémon sets.

Animal Crossing is a slow paced game. I do not want 60fps in a slow paced game, since than means they left other upgrades out. I rather have a stable 4K30 and 1080p30 (handheld) than a lower 60fps resolutioin.
