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.

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.

I am happy with the update. A lot of good improvements. And I am now going to put everyone complaining about the 30fps on my Ignore list. This game doesn't need it, and I honestly love the improved resolution.

@LoroTalby You can now make dream islands.

The update is great.

• Multi-crafting works up to 10 items, which is okay.
• Crafting now also works with materials in your home storage.
• And even though it's not the Switch 2 Edition yet I have seen some improvements to running the game handheld on the Switch 2.

I haven't started the new content yet. I'll be doing that this weekend.

@Gabe250 I do hope so, I also hope they'll combine the stories of the originals with the sequels (Black 1/White 1 and Black 2 / White 2) into one game.

Downloading! Tomorrow playing the Switch 2 Edition.

The complaining about this game made absolutely sure we will never see a gen 5 or newer remake. (Legends games are not remakes)

Sure everyone has f****d up once or twice. EA has NOT f***d up once or twice. That's the difference.

@BlaizeV Lego are physical products, that does take some time to produce. Especially large sets with high demand often sell out, but always have multiple production runs. But the GWP (gift with purchase) often only has a single run.

Yeah.. I suspected this was going to happen. These sets will sell out within minutes or even seconds.

Adding this to the "surprise Nintendo direct" coming this week.

@Ooccoo_Jr The biggest set I have is the Ferrari Daytona SP3. Which I thought was huge (and took almost 2 weeks to fully build). This Pokémon set is absolutely massive in comparison.

@Ooccoo_Jr Yeah, especially the 18+ sets have been increasing in size the last few years. But those are directed at adults who have more patience than most children to build a large set like this. Also a lot of people build Lego to "wind down".

@Yosher Actually per piece the Eevee is the most expensive and the starters set is the cheapest. And all are BELOW normal licensed Lego prices.

About 10c per piece or lower. Decent prices for licensed Lego.

@ParrakerriRush Lower prices aren't going to happen anytime soon if ever with the current shortages.

We hopefully won't get a price increase, but even that might become difficult if this issue isn't resolved within next year. (which is not likely)

I start to get the feeling a Nintendo Direct might be happening later this week.

@OLD64FOREVER Yeah, I still have fond memories of connecting my GBA to my GameCube and playing with my own character on the Big Screen.

@Yalloo It's a "skin", so sticker.

Not one of Dbrands better work, that looks really ugly.

@slowpoke_tail GameShare is basically streaming the game between 2 or more consoles. Which ofcourse works with an original Switch as long as the host has a Switch 2

@OLD64FOREVER Honestly I miss the handheld tennis games the most (GBC, GBA) those had real RPG stories with unique characters. And no, I don't want Miis.

Where the console games were better actual tennis games, I did like the stories of the handhelds more.

The story mode of this looks fun, as did it in Aces. But it really falls short compared to those GameBoy games.
