Maybe they'll start making switch sports games.

For me, it's more the fact that I already have too much content to consume on Switch, that I don't need any other platforms to carry around. I probably have 200 games on the switch but stick to Mario Party, and Splatoon for the overwhelming majority of my playtime.

I THINK the last EA game I bought was Madden on the Wii. I actually really enjoyed it even though the graphics weren't as good as the PS____ (insert whatever number it was competing with, 3 I think). I liked drawing my own plays with the wii-mote and also flicking to pass. I also liked their golf game that used the wii-mote gyro accessory. Since then, they don't release sports game on the switch worth buying, so why buy? ACTUALLY, just remembered I bought one of the Fifas on Switch for $5 when they did eshop sale, but never played it.

I was still playing International Superstar Soccer on the 3DS instead.

I've disliked SEGA since they killed Sega Heros so probably will not play a SEGA game again. There are enough other developers out there that I can support. I get companies break up, but I don't see a reason why they couldn't have patched it to make it a match 3 offline game.

@drypaphmrbro I haven't seen this term before. I like how you made it PG. Respect.

It reminded me of a time I worked at a store and we had a purple scarf called Grape Juice. The G did not print on ANY of the tags... I'm glad I caught it before the buying public did.

I got this on Android when I was planning to buy it on switch, but it was $5 cheaper on android and honestly I knew I'd want to play touchscreen anyway. This game is addicting. I've read where some people win their very first game but for me it took a lot of tries, but figuring out the strategy made it really enjoyable. If you haven't tried Balatro, I'd highly recommend.

I pay $1300 to $2300 for a cell phone, so no matter what the price of the console is, I'm going to buy it as soon as they announce a Splatoon 4 bundle. I understand people have budgets, but If we will pay $1000 for an iPhone, why is it so terrible to pay $500 for a console that we will most likely use longer than the phone?

I hope it is $399, but in the grand scheme of things, I'm buying it no matter the price. I just wish it would have MORE POWER (arr arr arrr) so that it can last another 8 years.

Impressed it took 74 Comments before someone said NINTENDOOMED! @MontyCircus, you beat me to it. Good job.

Nintendo has been printing money for years, once the system comes out and sells through opening allotment, and we see they have like 5 games sell over a million copies in the first two months, everyone will be back on board.

Who knows, we might even get a new Madden finally. And if not, the NFL should make a deal with Nintendo to publish a game. I remember when Nintendo made sports game and they were always fun! From NES Play Action Football, to Ken Griffey Baseball, to Kobe Bryant Basketball; I always enjoyed Nintendo Sports.

@gcunit SHHHHHH!!! That was the secret. Can I get a spoiler alert? haha

@Don I think if every post had a "SPOILER ALERT" heading and none of the article showed, that is ok, but like in my Google News feed, it shows the headline and then a few lines of what the article is. So it's hard to not have some things slip through.

As for me, I know I'm buying a Switch 2, so the spoilers don't bother me now, but historically, they do bother me because I do not want to have surprises ruined.

@johnvboy Switch 2 is fine, but I was REALLY hoping for SUPER Nintendo Switch. Only because that would confirm more power and also still make it easy for people to realize it is in the same family.

$9.99 and I'm in. More than that and I'll pass. It's hard to pay full price, or even half price for a game that offers nothing new other than "pretty"

Haha @kidsparta Sonic, Ecco, and the Altered Beast guy take on Death Bringer.

I'll wait for the Splatoon 4 bundle... Stay Fresh!

For $60, it should be a collection of all of the Donkey Kong Country games, all with extra bells and whistles. I can't see this selling well. Unless it comes with a green see through Switch 2 with yellow joycons.

I don't think Nintendo cares to be honest. The system itself looks very similar, but I feel like there must be some functionality that has not been spoken of yet. Nintendo is sticking to their playbook and all the "leaks" are actually bringing hype to the actual announcement so I think they'll do a direct within the next week and officially announce it, then it will be out before June. March to May is my guess. Let's see. Pack-in game will be Mario Art since you can use the joycon like a mouse now. haha

@Dirty_Croc Now You're Playing With POWER! NINTENDO POWER!

I only use them for drunken Mario Party shenanigans.

I didn't have this on my radar, but now I'm kind of interested. It's nice to see this article and then seeing the comment section supportive.

I have a LOT of digital games, but the majority of those are the ones that I don't care if they disappear one day. Like if I could never play Into The Breach again, I would lose sleep, but I would be a little sad. However for important games, I always buy physical (Splatoon Series). Also the beautiful thing about physical media is I can let my friends borrow games. I wish digital had a "Game lend" feature where I could let someone borrow it while I wasn't playing it.

I get it, I'm a dinosaur and still love physical media (I still buy blu rays and dvds) but to me there is something great that when there is a movie I want to watch from 20 years ago, I can grab it and play it. I don't have to look for the streamer.

Same for games, I do think eventually games will go the streaming route more and more and when that happens, who will actually own anything?

I was really hoping for analog triggers, so if it is true it doesn't have those, that's disappointing. I like the bigger screen but I'd really like oled. I'm going to buy this as soon as they do a splatoon version (Have the Splatoon Wii U (just the pack in with the game and smash) and the Splatoon 2 switch and the Splatoon 3 OLED switch so when the Splatoon 4 Switch comes out, I'm down!

This is the first year I've missed this and it kind of sucks. Every year is 10 games and at least 2 of them are usually fun for short bursts.

Until I started looking at these articles every week, I never realized how they often try to make American boxes more aggressive. And it makes me wonder if they actually put the more beautiful artwork on American games, would they sell more? Not saying that Okami didn't sell well, but the beautiful cover makes me way more interested in this game. I did eventually buy it on my switch.

@HammerGalladeBro So what you're saying is, WE NEED MORE TETRIS! It's a very under served market on Switch. I hope they fix this on the Super Nintendo Switch.

I loved this game. I beat the entirety of the game for the first "season". I bought every set that came out and I still absolutely love it all of these years later. I wish they had done a season three. This game got me back into collecting Legos (which I hadn't done in 20 years). I wonder if Lego did any kind of research about how many people got into buying Legos by collecting the sets from this game. It's time for me to crank up the Wii U again and get back into this game. Some of the events are overly difficult, but all and all it's not bad and it is fun to explore. The humor is great too.

@MontyCircus I actually don't allow this for this exact reason. The worst player can get lucky and stay in the game way longer than necessary. Who needs a 4 hour monopoly game? haha

@CinnamonRobin AMEN!!!! This is my NUMBER one complaint about Tri-Color (which I like way better than 4 v 4). I cannot tell you how many times I've been getting the beacon only to have the other attacking team kill me. It especially sucks when we already have one. Help me help you bro, help me help you.

Someone may have answered this already, but is it worth playing now on Switch? I love Grand Theft Auto 3. I think it's because it's the only game that doesn't give the protagonist a name. If it plays fine now, I'd love to buy this and get back into it.

Does anyone else have an Activia Ad that keeps popping up covering the screen? I keep closing it and it has popped up 3 times. It will make me NOT buy Activia Gut Health Probiotic Dailies.

@GamingFan4Lyf So much this! They're going to de-list, then come out with another collection that adds a few more games and then marks the price up because of all the added value. I own this game, but mostly just play Columns on it. That was my favorite game on gamegear.

@Anti-Matter I'd love if Arms 2 made the Arms specific to each character. Like each Character had their basic arms, that could evolve twice. This would give options, but also make each character feel more special. I played arms during their test runs and just couldn't get into although it seemed like something I would LOVE

@domatron66 This wasn't the exact one, but YES, I can totally get the vibes from this.

I have totally played my switch on a rooftop many many many times. Especially during Covid when the city was on "lockdown". I would go to my building's roofdeck and just play animal crossing for hours on end. Krysta doesn't know what she is missing.

The Japan cover reminded me of another games cover, can't remember what it is so I went with US.

Conker for NSO confirmed. I am LOVING the way Nintendo is marketing these things now. Is this what the Private beta was about?

So here's my thing, and not saying I'm right; But why not just leave all the "sexy" bits in it and then allow the user to decide if they want to partake or not. If people want the boob slider, then have the boob slider. No one is being forced to use it in order to play the game. Want revealing outfits, that's fine! No one is forcing you to use those outfits on your player. Who is ACTUALLY being harmed by this? If you are of any "offended" group by boob sliders or clothing in games, then maybe your life is really, REALLY good when this is what upsets you. Be thankful for what you have and let others enjoy things the way they want to enjoy it. There should be no shaming. I'm rather anti-censorship. Would I play the game with the boob slider all the way up? Most likely not. Probably would never use it, but if that's someone's thing, who am I to tell them not to enjoy it? We should be more open minded and tolerant of others.

@Ribbitsneed Ummm, to smack people with it if they steal your stars! Duh. haha All jokes aside, they probably made this with the cheapest material available as a cash grab, and it come back to bite them.

This article is the first one I've ever had that I can recall on this site that had a pop up come over the screen and cover the article. I had to click the X to continue reading it. Is that a new "feature" or a malicious actor in the ad sector?

@Bentendo1609 WAIT!!! So I never looked online for strategy about Lego Dimensions, I found the flinstones, but never found Red Dwarf.... I'm going to have to go dust off the Wii U!

@Koffeeking0407 Thanks for this. I remember not liking the camera, and when I said Dark, I meant I literally couldn't see what I needed to do unless I turned up the brightness on my tv. I forgot what dungeon I was in (or level) but I found that ridiculous. But I get the whole theme of the game.

For anyone that played this on the Wii, is it worth buying again? I had it on the Wii and liked the concept, but there was something about it that put me off from playing very far into it (might have been the controls, or maybe how dark some levels are, I can't remember now). So if you had it on Wii, is this one noticeably better?

I've been places where you are not supposed to take pictures, (mostly museums and religious spaces when overseas) and have always respected it. I remember at the Brooklyn Museum when the Murakami exhibit was here there were places we couldn't take photos. I wish I had some of those photos and I don't always understand why I can't, but if a place says not to, I always respect it. I would want the same respect if I asked.

Gamecube: Eternal Darkness
3DS: Kid Icarus

Let's make it happen!

These seem like their regular discounts. If RE4 drops down to $4.99 sometime, I'll grab it again. I already have it on Gamecube and Wii. I think it is an amazing game, but I have such a back catalog as it is.

I was actually surprised that Best Buy was sold out of this game. Target had one copy. I'm not sure if they just stopped keeping many physical copies in the stores, but I thought there would be more. I went to Target to see if they had any of the bags for gift with purchase.

@PikminMarioKirby I second this. I never played the DK 64 and wanted to, but I liked Diddy Kong Racing better than MarioKart at the time.

@-wc- In the United States, making someone’s job so unpleasant or humiliating that they feel they have no choice but to quit is termed “constructive dismissal” and is illegal.

I honestly wouldn't mind being in a room by myself 8 hours a day if I'm still getting paid. However I'm not Japanese and do not look at co-workers the same. I like all of my colleagues, but would also like plenty of time to think and relax. Even better if I can play games while there.

So Eternal Darkness re-release CONFIRMED!?!? With Eternal Darkness 2 coming in 2026. You heard it here first.

In 10 years or so being on this site, this is the first time I've seen @nessisonett have a comment moderated. Now I am super curious what I missed. 🤔🤨

@PikaPhantom They already forgot they wrote this article. haha
