I can't agree more with the article. I had the exact same experience with the game and every Star Wars fan should play this game. Yes it's really good. Hopefully they'll also put AC Shadows on Switch2, I have not played it yet to wait for a Switch2 version.
Way too much Btw/TotK in this "trailer". I love both games and I love WW, but WW should not be mixed with other games and we need a completely new style for the next main Zelda game.
I'm playing through it right now and it's the best Star Wars game I ever played. The world is so nicely made and there are a lot of easter eggs around. Kay and Nix are cool main characters and the different planets feel way less repetitive than newer AC games. If you are a fan of the original trilogy, than this game is an absolute nostalgia blast. Can't recommend it enough.
Yeah there will be 100% no Switch 2 announcement before Christmas. They will try to push the Switch sales with bundles for the rest of the year and then reveal the Switch 2 in 2025.
I played the demo and thought it looked better than the screenshots and resembles Hyogonosukes art style. But the Shin-Chan game looks way better and feels more like a rural Japan summer vacation. I think I'll wait for a sale and will play this earliest some time next year. There is still the second Shin-Chan game coming out in October and it looks very good.
Yes give me the control right away. A slow opening is not bad and some of my favourites have a slow opening, but I prefer giving instant control and action. Best examples are BotW/TotK, Prime Trilogy, SoulsTrilogy etc.
A good beginners Souls-like is Another Crab's Treasure. It's easier than other games in the genre and you even can make it easier by adjusting some options. Highly recommend it.
@solarwolf07 you don't have to start a new file. You can continue to play in your current one. The only exception is a new farm layout. If you want to experience the new layout, you have to start a new file.
The steelbook is looking nice, but I won't get it. I already bought the base game and on the same day ER DLC is launching. I might buy it cheap for my Xbox later on, but I only would buy it for the full price if it would be like SMT4/Apo.
I just don't like Geoff Keighley. He is annoying and way to powerful. Good thing is in Europe the TGAs are at night and so I would not even think about watching them.
Maybe not the best person to talk about this topic. I mean yes RDR won't release on Xbox because it is already playable there through backwards compatibility, but there was no need to release a new GTAV version for the current gen system.
Ruby and Sapphire were the first Pokémon Games that I really loved and the first I have a lot of nostalgia for. I also love tropical settings in video games and thus the third gen is my second favourite of all time.
@Not_Soos the funny thing is that the general Skyward Sword reception got better with every year. So I don't see how Totk can get an even better reception.
Prime Remastered was really good and so much fun, but Totk is in its own league. The game is phenomenal and I'm only half way done. There are still some upcoming games that will be great or damn good (Pikmin4, Starfield, SMBW), but I don't think they top TotK for me.
I love Wario Land 4 and always thought why does nobody talk about how good this game is/was. Thanks for this article. I'm looking forward to play AntonBlast.
Started playing this series with SMTIV and since then I love SMT games. IV and IVApo are still my favourite, but V and III are also really good. It's so much fun building a powerful team to fight through the deadly worlds of SMT.
@Purgatorium good choice. Night in the Woods has not only a really good fall atmosphere, the mood of the game feels also fall-like. Can recommend playing it.
Is Harvest Moon for the SNES still good today or has it aged badly? The screenshots look super beautiful (I love 16bit games) but I'm scared the game has antique gameplay tropes etc.

Re: Hitman's Switch 2 Pre-Order Trailer Shows Off Mario-Inspired Outfits And Goodies
If I could transfer my save data from my Xbox, then I would buy it again. But if that's not the case, I can't justify to lose over 100hrs of playtime.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Manage To Get A Switch 2 Pre-Order In? (North America)
Yes, but I live in Germany and pre-ordered mine a few days ago.
Re: Random: If We Could Get A Zelda: Wind Waker Sequel Like This, We'd Be Ecstatic
Way too much Btw/TotK in this "trailer". I love both games and I love WW, but WW should not be mixed with other games and we need a completely new style for the next main Zelda game.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
I didn't buy it on Xbox to wait for it coming to Switch2. Day1 buy for me.

Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
I mean yes that's nice, but if I see ER for 30 bucks or less then I'll get it a second time.

Re: Feature: The Return Of Lynels And Five Other Exciting Reveals In The Latest Zelda Trailer
That dragon looks a lot like Volvagia from OoT.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Disturbing 'Emio' Teaser, And Fans Are Baffled
Could be the small game from Bloober Team. They are doing a Collab with Nintendo on a small budget.
Re: Mailbox: 'Switch 2' Launch Ports, Soulslikes For Beginners, Poké Parks - Nintendo Life Letters
A good beginners Souls-like is Another Crab's Treasure. It's easier than other games in the genre and you even can make it easier by adjusting some options. Highly recommend it.
Re: Video: Nintendo World Championships Japanese Gameplay Officially Revealed
I still have hope they will make a SNES Edition. Not sure if I'll get this for launch, it depends if there will be content updates or not.
Re: Review: Another Crab's Treasure (Switch) - Great Ideas, Crabby Performance
I completed it on Xbox and loved it a lot. Such a good game. Lot of fun dialogs, creative combat and nice world building. Can recommend it.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Xbox's Grounded For Switch?
I love the Xbox version and if it runs well on Switch I'll get it there too.
Re: Stardew Valley Version 1.6 Begins Rollout, Switch Update Coming "As Soon As Possible"
@solarwolf07 you don't have to start a new file. You can continue to play in your current one. The only exception is a new farm layout. If you want to experience the new layout, you have to start a new file.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Gets Extended Trailer And A Tasty Steelbook
The steelbook is looking nice, but I won't get it. I already bought the base game and on the same day ER DLC is launching. I might buy it cheap for my Xbox later on, but I only would buy it for the full price if it would be like SMT4/Apo.
Re: Microsoft's Xbox Layoffs Hit Crash Bandicoot And Spyro Developer 'Toys For Bob'
@LycanFalcon or a new Spyro Game. I even thought they would perfect for handling Banjo remakes or new games, not happening now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 3rd)
I have to finish Dread and also started playing Lies of P (which is really good).
Re: LEGO Zelda 'Deku Tree' Set Rumours Resurface Online
You can still find the pictures on Reddit. Of course they are not the final product, but from the look of it, I like the vote version more.
Re: Video: Mario Wonder Features In Digital Foundry's 'Best Game Graphics Of 2023' Round Up
Prime Remastered is so beautiful that it almost looks like it's not running on the Switch. Definitely my choice for best looking game of the year.
Re: Super Nintendo World Donkey Kong Country Expansion Opening Spring 2024
The DKC music hits different. Now we need a new DK game asap.
Re: Geoff Keighley Reveals "Hype Trailer" For The Game Awards 2023
I just don't like Geoff Keighley. He is annoying and way to powerful. Good thing is in Europe the TGAs are at night and so I would not even think about watching them.
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon X & Y - The Series' Greatest Paradoxes
For me the worst Pokémon Gen. But I loved the meta game and the autumn area.
Re: Kingdom Eighties Gives Micro-Strategy A Nostalgic Twist On Switch This Month
I really liked Kingdom Two Crowns, so I'm interested.
Re: Japanese Charts: Pikmin 4 Lays Down Roots At The Top Spot, Once Again

Re: Feature: Nintendo eShop Selects - August 2023
Really strong month for the eshop. Incredible good games with fantastic developers behind them.
Re: Ubisoft's Cancelled 'Immortals 2' Project Reportedly Took Inspiration From Elden Ring
Damn that sounds fantastic. Super sad we won't see this game. I never played the first one, but that would have been my type of game.
Re: Surprise Surprise, Lenovo's Leaked Handheld Looks Like A Switch
@Kiyata this is not a handheld. This thing is just an expensive way to stream games from your PS5.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Has Reportedly Helped Boost Japan's GDP
Absolutely deserved. TotK is such a good game.
Re: Review: Vampire Survivors - Kiss Healthy Sleep Goodbye With This Must-Play Roguelike
I loved this game on my Xbox and will definitely buy it again on Switch. It's so simple but sooo addictive.
Re: Talking Point: After Three Months, What's Your Zelda: TOTK Completion Percentage?
I beat the final boss, found every cave, completed all shrines/roots and did a lot of quests, buuut still only got 66,75% haha
Re: Take-Two CEO On Backward Compatibility: "Give Consumers What They Want"
Maybe not the best person to talk about this topic. I mean yes RDR won't release on Xbox because it is already playable there through backwards compatibility, but there was no need to release a new GTAV version for the current gen system.

So do we get a Nintendo anniversary collaboration or not?
Re: Video: 14 Exciting New Games Coming To The Nintendo Switch In August 2023
Sea of Stars, Blasphemous 2 and Vampire Survivors are the absolute gems for me in August.
Re: Feature: How Summer Holidays And Childhood Nostalgia Revolutionised Pokémon

Zelda is my favourite game series and Jurassic Park my favourite movie - nice!
Re: Poll: What's Your Game Of The Year Of 2023 So Far?
Prime Remastered was really good and so much fun, but Totk is in its own league. The game is phenomenal and I'm only half way done. There are still some upcoming games that will be great or damn good (Pikmin4, Starfield, SMBW), but I don't think they top TotK for me.
Re: Super Mario RPG Is Getting A Remake This November, And It Looks Amazing
Never played it and now finally I am able to!
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, A Brand New 2D Mario Game, Is Coming To Switch
I wasn't so hyped for a 2D Mario game since 2008. This looks incredible.
Re: Vampire Survivors Finally Comes To Switch This August With Couch Co-op
@ComfyAko this game is addicting as hell and damn good. Trust me, it even won some GOTY awards.
Re: Soapbox: Wario Land 4 Deserves More Love, And Indie Devs Are Doing What Nintendon't

Re: Feature: Best Japan-Exclusive 3DS Games - 13 Titles We Wish Had Come To The West
Very interesting article. I would add the sequel of Magicians Quest.
Re: Atlus Celebrates 30 Years Of Shin Megami Tensei With Special Artwork
Started playing this series with SMTIV and since then I love SMT games. IV and IVApo are still my favourite, but V and III are also really good. It's so much fun building a powerful team to fight through the deadly worlds of SMT.
Re: Jurassic World Aftermath Collection Unearths November Release Date On Switch
As a big JPU Fan I'm looking forward to those games. Never thought they would come to Switch one day.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Music Track From A Nintendo Game?
I could never choose just one. So I would say the one that comes fastest to my mind: Xenoblade 1 Main Theme.
Re: Feature: The Best Autumnal Levels In Video Games To Get You In The Fall Mood
@Purgatorium good choice. Night in the Woods has not only a really good fall atmosphere, the mood of the game feels also fall-like. Can recommend playing it.
Re: Feature: How Stardew Valley Grew The Farm Sim While Harvest Moon Went To Seed
