OMG! Added "Music Volume" to "Settings/Controller".

This DOES make me wonder if we will ever get DLC for this game at all? Will free roam actually get new content?

@Whirlwound These things are always on a massive delay! Think how long it took Kirby. Metroid will have its day.

@Suketoudara This is pure speculation but I think next year we are going to see a revamp of NSO with price increases and new things like themes tied to it.

As far as I can tell no Donkey Kong wallpaper to go with the theme.

So Skyward Sword did get released in HD and so did Xenoblade chronicles and Galaxy 2 is in 4K

I feel like Alex is going to loose it when Doshin the Giant is on NSO!

Let that sink in ND Cube produced 6 hours of music for Mario Party Jambouree + Jambouree TV. That is why only Nintendo developed party games will ever be the best.

Any news on the Deluxe edition in the UK?

The US keychains are always really nice, the ones in the UK are basic AF!

Who goes out spends $500 on a shiny new Switch 2 for their kid and and then thinks hey let’s pay for the upgrade to hello kitty???

I think Tostarina has much more lore the Tokyo team were interested in.

My biggest worry is this will be a labyrinthine puzzle/scan-athon with a bit of combat and boss fights, the desert is pretty much just lore, no real substance and everything is scripted set pieces instead of true exploration.

There will be no cool cosmetic unlocks for your bike, or upgrade trees or anything. We are 3 weeks away and I still feel how I did about BANANZA before the Direct blew open the doors.

It is a terrible English version of the Japanese one which is pretty good!

This is super good news as I bought the original on a eShop sale. So for December:

1st Marvel Cosmic Invasion Switch 2
2nd Red Dead Redemption Switch 2 Edition
2nd Assassin’s Creed Shadows Switch 2
4th Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Switch 2 Edition
4th Sonic Racing Crossworlds Switch 2 Edition
4th Octopath Traveler 0 Switch 2 Edition
11th Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader

RIP WALLETS!!!

I played a ton of pac-man on the Atari 2600 as a kid. I even owned the infamous ET game.

If they remade this exactly like it is BUT made it in the New Horizons style, I think people would love it.

It’s nice, another place to sell teddy’s

Actually Switch HAS proper Xbox Live/PSN style party chat now up to 12 people. The ONLY big downside is there is no drop-in/drop-out in the party. Hopefully that will get patched in the future.

I ordered mine, these things were sold a long time! Now let the SNES online

You did well mate, now throw us a discount for premium…lol

@Vyacheslav333 CoD is coming still. Battlefield was never coming and likely never will.

Unfortunate that physical isn't available until after Christmas, but in the UK Amazon his Switch 1 cart for £44.99. So with £5.00 upgrade makes it less than launch for Switch!

Who is going to be the first person to turn the Vi-Ol-A into a killer Smash boss?

@judaspete Yeah they are just nice collectibles now that also give you some extras in game.

Yes they are spendy, but they are really really nice. I got my Metroid Prime 4 Amiibo's today and they are so choice! Yes the quality is very high.

Everyone is moving towards hybrid or portable gaming, Nintendo has really shown the way with that. And as more developers Taylor their games for that Switch 2 will benefits from it first.

Jensen from Nvidia went out of his way to make a video about the power of Switch 2, clearly proud of it. Nintendo are actually making cutting edge silicone, they aren’t just toy makers.

Seriously Disney needs to watch out, if the next Mario movie goes hard Rosalina could be the new Elsa. And not just to Amiibo collectors in 2015.

@LazyDaisy this happened to my Japanese account I used for import games, I had to buy them again!

You know the obvious way to deal with demand is offer a guaranteed entry for a higher price. The lottery system only goes so far. They should offer higher priced tickets for tourist and the like that can afford to pay more and only have a short amount of time to visit.

According to AI Nintendo is planning to combine their apps into a global app in the future.

@nukatha according to reviews for Gameshare in general local co-op to another Switch is flawless, but online Gameshare could have issues.

@MarioLinkSamus yes Gameshare streams the game apparently with no issues with local co-op and even to Switch 1 and Lite, also you can play co-op online with two Switch 2 systems and 1 copy of the game.

I have gone crazy this time, went all physical with bundles from My Nintendo UK! So paying those high prices, but I now own a genuine Pokemon Z-A umbrella.

I am sorry you buried the lead in the title of that article! This is a super cool feature with the Animal Crossing tracks. I had to learn this on X.com because your article title.

@raymond23 This isn't that hard to work out, the "Switch 2 edition" features are just things the Switch 2 can make use of, it will be a patch to the game likely and will give you microphone, mouse use and graphic bump, likely also making use of the better WIFI chip to allow the 12 players (and also RAM in the Switch 2).

Honestly this is not surprising, when the Zelda Switch 2 came out there was no DLC included with those. Let's face it folks the Switch eShop, the NSO benefits have not changed. This isn't Ubisoft where everything is thrown in at half price 6 months later.

If the +Expansion Pack proposition changes in the future they may choose to release an edition with DLC, but for now they are going on with the same as Switch 1.

I waiting for an official Nintendo 512GB SD Express card to get one, but yeah between game key cards and just updates (last gen I went all digital as well) you are cleaning the fridge too often.

Look, this is absolute BEST decision for Microsoft. Software and services is where the money is, when everyone was saying IBM hardware was where the money was, Microsoft let the OEM's fight for that space while they dominated as the single most successful and ubiquitous operating system (and still to this day) with Windows and of course Office.

Microsoft still has OEM partners making PC's and laptops and tablets for them, so they can be everywhere and still have own brand hardware.

The real challenge for Phill Spencer is will they yield their long built up Xbox ecosystem (Xbox Live, Friends, Voice Chat, etc) and their cloud gaming/Game Pass services to companies like Nvidia who seemed to offer a superior service? Or will they use their new freedom from home console hardware to double down on data centres and the Xbox feel and experience to be the GO TO cloud service?

Time will tell. But I think if they loose that entirely they are just another EA, Ubisoft, etc and the Xbox that famously took the industry by storm with the 360 will be dead.

Microsoft went all in on Xbox 360 and quickly lost their way with Kinect. And they nearly suicided with Xbox One, and the worst thing they pivoted and pivoted to the point where they have completely lost the soul of the product. And so becoming the largest third party publisher getting 70% cut is not a bad deal for Microsoft.

I mean by all accounts Halo Remake needs allot of work, I am sure that is doubly so for Nintendo Switch 2. I would imagine Microsoft will want to properly announce the games in a Direct rather than total out of the blue on X. But you never know seems the only publishers that are in Directs are Japanese ones.

this is very welcome, the Animal Crossing Alarm face was terrible!

OK well it seems the Nintendo FOMO machine has worked, I have 8 days to complete Bananza and start grinding this event. This will get me to Hyrule Warriors launch.

@Freek I have been also playing many Switch 1 titles in higher quality and also need to play DK Bananza. I think you need to complete the campaign to get to DK Island so I wonder if this event will be available in the future?

If they want to spice up Nintendo Classics without adding games or a console they already have the stuff ready. Add in the NES Remix levels and leaderboards to the NES sections, even could add world championship levels as well. Basically give people daily, weekly and monthly challenges and missions, reward with Nintendo Power articles, concept art, game manuals, etc. And then add this to SNES someday.

Never played Warhammer, ignored these games on Xbox and just because it's coming to Switch 2 I am like "Oh I am buying this!"

@AmplifyMJ you name me a product where the price doesn’t increase for 20 years?

The figurines for Charazard are quite small, pretty much the same size as the pre-order starter figurines. The hat and umbrella are really nice and I had a hot chocolate with the well made mug. Pins are nice as well.

The UK insert with the game is just ads for Pokemon products but in some regions it includes a type chart which I wish I had.

This has been sold out on the UK My Nintendo Store

For those complaining about the Mario Kart World price, the bundle with Switch 2 made that game cheaper than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and it was available day 1 with the Switch 2 launch. I don't think people give Nintendo enough credit for this.

Ok I tried it, looks like other consoles but runs at 30FPS. Not sure if this patch is the major improvements but it looks wonderful, frame rate seemed stable but feels sluggish.
