Been playing through Prime 1 on the GameCube recently and I’m actually blown away by how fun it is. Not sure what I was expecting but it’s surpassed whatever it was ☺️
No currently playing through Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter Tri, and Twilight Princess on the Wii. My Switch 2 has gone mostly unused the past month or so
Re-playing Bloodborne right now on PS5. It runs at a locked 30 fps and I believe 1080p. Honestly, a good game is a good game even if it’s not 60 fps 4K.
Nintendo saw Pokémon Showdown’s insane popularity and said let’s just do that and make some money off it. No doubt it’ll be huge especially if it’s taking over the VGC format at World’s starting next year.
My favorite are the “they’re working on a game fans have eagerly been waiting for and they’re hoping to show it off end of this year/ early next year” rumors.
I’m really glad Digital Foundry is here to tell us the Switch 2 and Steam Deck are different devices with different audiences! Gosh darn, what would we do without them?
Anyways maybe with the Pokémon presents on Tuesday we can get some real articles………………
My wife and I play Knockout Tour for a few hours together every weekend. I’ve also gone through every Grand Prix trying to get 3 ⭐️ Gold. Probably a little over 20 hours on it. I feel it’s a solid 9.
A little bit tired of seeing articles about these guys videos on this site being posted like they’re scripture. Might be time to just give it a rest with DF
IGN currently has two articles on their homepage previewing the game. One is much harsher than the other. Combine them and you get a solid 7-8/10 vibe.
Honestly this sounds like a few isolated incidents tied to credit card issues and not a widespread problem. Regardless it’s why I preordered in-person rather than deal with the online preorder shenanigans.

Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of Link And Zelda's Live-Action Looks?
Need to see it in action before I can properly judge it
Re: Video: Nintendo Just Dropped Its Best (Worst?) Song Since DK Rap
Holy mother of cringe 😬
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Switch 2 Compatibility Update Released
This and Monster Hunter Rise are at the top of my wish list for Switch 2 versions.
Would also love for Raccoon City Edition to be ported over 🥺
Re: What Are The 100 Best Nintendo Games? Here's The Chance To Make Your Voice Heard
Mole Mania in top 10 and I’ll make my PFP even more lewd 😉
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
$4.99 isn’t bad. I’ll get it at some point for sure 👍
Re: Talking Point: When Did 'Good Enough' Become Good Enough For Pokémon?
XY. It was so brain dead easy, I think I had less than 10 Pokémon faint in my entire first playthrough.
Sun & Moon were a step in the right direction, but then Sword and Shield came along
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Sales Hit The Brakes So Hard Last Quarter, Even 'Rise' Outsold It
Replaying Tri right now. Hoping Rise gets some Switch 2 love 🤞
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment?
No currently playing through Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter Tri, and Twilight Princess on the Wii. My Switch 2 has gone mostly unused the past month or so
Re: Anniversary: Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water Still Scares The Pants Off Me Ten Years On
Consider checking out the 2004 Thai film ‘Shutter’ for similar creepy vibes.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week With A Spooky Classic
Sp00ky 👻🧟♂️🍁🎃
I guess that comment is too short so here’s more words 😘✌️
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Probably not 😔 I never finished Arceus, and Z-A doesn’t really look interesting. Here’s hoping Wind & Wave are the revolution the series deserves! 🤞
Re: Poll: Will You Play Resident Evil Requiem In First-Person Or Third-Person?
3rd person for sure! ☺️ I enjoyed 8 much more once they introduced the option (even finished the platinum).
Re: Feature: Zelda, Layton, Mega Man - 10 Games We Played At TGS 2025 Coming To Switch 1 & 2
“I could only sample the first Mega Man Star Force from the Nintendo DS and not the second or the third, which were on 3DS“
Worth mentioning the whole series was released on DS, not 3DS - Black Ace was the first review I ever wrote!
Re: We've Now Got Our First Look At Elden Ring In Handheld Mode For Switch 2
Re-playing Bloodborne right now on PS5. It runs at a locked 30 fps and I believe 1080p. Honestly, a good game is a good game even if it’s not 60 fps 4K.
Re: Feature: "I Don't Care About The Sales" - 'Remothered' Creator On His Disney-Inspired Horror Platformer
Secret of Nimh was the first movie to really scare me growing up.
Bye Sweet Carole looks amazing, can’t wait to get a physical copy
Re: Beautiful Disney-esque Horror 'Bye Sweet Carole' Gets Suitably Spooky Release Date
Looks amazing. Can’t wait to play it
Re: Pokémon Champions Confirmed For Switch 2, Includes "Free-To-Start" And "Paid" Digital Version
Nintendo saw Pokémon Showdown’s insane popularity and said let’s just do that and make some money off it. No doubt it’ll be huge especially if it’s taking over the VGC format at World’s starting next year.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Drag x Drive
Looks like the kind of thing 11 year old me would’ve enjoyed playing with my friend group.
Re: 'Mina The Hollower', Yacht Club's Retro Zelda-Inspired Adventure, Scores Switch 2 Release Date
Gives me serious “The Secret of NIMH” vibes and I’m all for it
Re: Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, Silksong All Playable At Nintendo's Gamescom Booth
Banger of a list. Can’t wait to finally see how Elden Ring will run.
Re: Best Pokémon Spin-Off Games Of All Time
Pokémon Colosseum isn’t just the best game on this list, it’s one of the best Pokémon games period.
Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist
@Dom_31
My favorite are the “they’re working on a game fans have eagerly been waiting for and they’re hoping to show it off end of this year/ early next year” rumors.

Re: Japanese Variety Show Ranks Nation's Favourite Games, Mario & Animal Crossing Miss Top Spot
The love for handheld gaming in Japan is real for sure. Wonder if they’ll bring Final Fantasy XIV to Switch 2.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
Hoping Capcom shows up big. Would love RE:2 Remake and an upgrade for MH: Rise
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Party Jamboree TV?
@AccessibleDaydream
Good call on ditching IGN. Since 2019 I’ve only gone back to the site to get a good eye roll every now and then.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Switch 2 And Switch Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed (US)
Signed up to receive updates once the Pokémon Center preorders are back in stock. I got the Arceus plush last time and I love it.
Re: Video: Switch 2 Vs. Steam Deck System Face-Off, Digital Foundry Investigates
I’m really glad Digital Foundry is here to tell us the Switch 2 and Steam Deck are different devices with different audiences! Gosh darn, what would we do without them?
Anyways maybe with the Pokémon presents on Tuesday we can get some real articles………………
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Version 1.1.0 Update Now Live, Here Are The Patch Notes
Too little, too late Nintendo!!
I saw Digital Foundry’s godly tech analysis that shows this game occasionally runs at 30 frames per second…………………………………………….
My family and I will be going NOWHERE NEAR this hedonistic filth. No. Thank. You.
Re: "Somewhat Mixed" - Digital Foundry Delivers Its Technical Analysis Of Donkey Kong Bananza
Wow!!! There’s a part of this game that runs at 30 frames per second?!?
Well, that’s really informed my purchase decision. No thank you 😔✋
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Tests Switch 2's GameCube Emulation
Thank god! How the hell would we enjoy anything without Digital Foundry telling us if we’re allowed to?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th July)
Same thing as the past month or so:
Tears of the Kingdom, Switch 2 edition
World of Warcraft Classic
Mario Kart World if my wife wants to
Baldur’s Gate 3 is finally available again physically so I got that ordered Thursday. It should arrive Monday.
Re: Random: Yes, Pope Leo Really Did Sign A Popplio Pokémon Card
Get Trump to sign a Gumshoos cards and we’ll really be talking.
Re: Poll: How Many Hours Have You Spent In Mario Kart World So Far?
My wife and I play Knockout Tour for a few hours together every weekend. I’ve also gone through every Grand Prix trying to get 3 ⭐️ Gold. Probably a little over 20 hours on it. I feel it’s a solid 9.
Re: Feature: Every Switch 2 Launch Game, Ranked
Oh hell you guys just stick to re-posting Digital Foundry videos.
Putting No Man’s Sky in front of Mario Kart World, Delta Rune, and Split Fiction? Good grief
Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"
A little bit tired of seeing articles about these guys videos on this site being posted like they’re scripture. Might be time to just give it a rest with DF
Re: Switch 2 Has Already Overtaken The Combined Lifetime Sales Of The Entire Xbox Series Family And PS5 Pro In Japan
Elden Ring
Metroid
Pokémon Legends Z-A
Hades II
Borderlands 4
Donkey Kong
It’s the year of the Switch 2 and I’m 💯% all for it
Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy Devs Supposedly Hint At Another Nintendo Release
The Switch 2 mouse controls would be interesting for FFXIV. I’ve always preferred controller over M&KB, but the mix of both could really be something.
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
Mario Kart World + Tears of the Kingdom upgrade was enough launch content for me 🤷♀️
Add in the GameCube and N64 virtual console titles and everything else just seems unnecessary to buy.
Re: A New Goosebumps Game Is Shuffling Onto The Switch This August
We love Goosebumps!
This looks awful!
Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?
Unrelated to Mario Kart but I was wondering if you guys saw the news Borderlands 4 was confirmed to cost $70?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Kart World?
A solid 9. Great launch title. Better than anything the PS5 or XSX launched with, and that’s coming from someone who loved Demon Souls Remake.
Re: Yes, Call Of Duty Is Still On The Way To Nintendo Hardware
Anyone else remember Modern Warfare on the DS? What a time
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition
Bought this game at launch with the 3DS. Also bought MGS3 and a Resident Evil game. 3DS was awesome, truly wish we got a successor.
Re: Switch 2 eShop "Top-Selling" Games At Launch Revealed
Sounds about right. All I played today was MKW and TotK Switch 2 edition 😅
Re: Round Up: The Final Previews Are In For Mario Kart World
IGN currently has two articles on their homepage previewing the game. One is much harsher than the other. Combine them and you get a solid 7-8/10 vibe.
Re: US Retailers Are Playing With Fire With More Switch 2 Cancellations
Honestly this sounds like a few isolated incidents tied to credit card issues and not a widespread problem. Regardless it’s why I preordered in-person rather than deal with the online preorder shenanigans.
