Quotes like saying that the layoffs were “extremely difficult” are absolutely laughable. They don’t care about their employees, only their bottom line.
@Ralek85 The handheld PC market is incredibly small and honestly niche. They just don’t have the same appeal as the Switch. They have their limitations, too. Take for example the fact that the Steamdeck can’t download while in sleep mode.
I very much doubt that LLMs are going to be effective at quality assurance and debugging. The fact that code produced by LLMs requires debugging by an actual human being is more or less proof of LLMs uselessness.
Honestly this is what I wanted. They give themselves more time to polish it up and I get more time to work on my backlog before it drops and I become helplessly obsessed.
@SBandy1 9 is the latest entry in the series so it would obviously take priority and porting the two games that lead into it would take priority as well. I’m certain they will come later in 2026.
I am absolutely loving the Switch 2’s library so far. Cyberpunk, Kunitsu Gami, Wild Hearts, and Star Wars Outlaws are all excellent. I’m gonna start playing Daemon X Machine Titanic Scion later, but from what I’ve seen and my experience with the first game I’m going to absolutely love it. Notably I haven’t even touched Donkey Kong yet.
@IronMan30 It was certainly on my bingo card. It’s one of the games that I wanted most wanted a port of alongside Elden Ring. I’m still waiting for Remnant 2, though.
I MUCH prefer the minimalism of the Switch. It really puts the emphasis on the icons (though that does mean the bad ones REALLY stick out). And does it really matter when you’re looking at the home menu for a second or two before you load up a game?
After my OLED got bricked about a year and a half ago I switched (pun VERY intended) back to my original Switch and I really haven’t missed the OLED screen very much. It’d certainly be great to go back to an OLED but it really doesn’t make that much of a difference for me.
I absolutely adore RE6 for its bombastic and over the top nature. It’s only gotten so much hate over the years because of baggage people have from their previous experiences with the series.
I honestly do not care about League of Legends (the game) but I own two of the Riot Forge games and am legitimately interested in others. Oh well. 🤷♂️
My non gaming highlights are Godzilla Minus One (best Godzilla movie EVER) and all the incredible music (most notably the albums from Hail the Sun, Space Weather, Wolf & Bear, and Dwellings).
I find it rather odd that one of the negative points is the battle system. That’s just how the series plays and to expect any sort of change in DLC is foolish.

Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
I got a 256 GB card alongside my Switch 2 at launch but it was months until I lucked out on finding a 1 TB card in stock on Amazon.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC's Next Mega Evolution Is A Mythical One
@JohnnyMind Guaranteed they’re not gonna introduce a new Mega and advertise it if it weren’t available in the game. 😉
Re: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Lands New Paid DLC & Free Update Today
@TheWokesterGamer I assure you the value is most definitely there.

@Bizzyb Dude, it IS a Kiwami game.

Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@Ralek85 The handheld PC market is incredibly small and honestly niche. They just don’t have the same appeal as the Switch. They have their limitations, too. Take for example the fact that the Steamdeck can’t download while in sleep mode.
Re: Square Enix Aims To Automate 70% Of QA With Generative AI By 2027
I very much doubt that LLMs are going to be effective at quality assurance and debugging. The fact that code produced by LLMs requires debugging by an actual human being is more or less proof of LLMs uselessness.
Re: Elden Ring Delayed On Switch 2 "To Allow Time For Performance Adjustments"

Re: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Gets Another Switch 2 Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
@gabrielthorn The performance is by no means perfect but atrocious is really overstating it.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Has Been Officially Confirmed For Switch 2
@SBandy1 9 is the latest entry in the series so it would obviously take priority and porting the two games that lead into it would take priority as well. I’m certain they will come later in 2026.
Re: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?
I am absolutely loving the Switch 2’s library so far. Cyberpunk, Kunitsu Gami, Wild Hearts, and Star Wars Outlaws are all excellent.

Easy 10/10
Re: Poll: Ahead Of Silksong's Release, Are You 'Finally' Playing Hollow Knight?
I played it years ago! I won’t be replaying it because I’m busy with other games and my backlog is too damn big to justify replaying a game.
Re: Hands On: Cyberpunk 2077 Might Pull A 'Witcher 3' On Switch 2
@ChakraStomps Do yourself a favor and give it another shot without comparing it to Zelda. It’s truly a masterpiece of a game.
Re: Hands On: Cyberpunk 2077 Might Pull A 'Witcher 3' On Switch 2
@IronMan30 It was certainly on my bingo card. It’s one of the games that I wanted most wanted a port of alongside Elden Ring. I’m still waiting for Remnant 2, though.
Re: Nintendo's Switch 2 'Game-Key Cards' Somehow Manage To Make Codes-In-A-Box Worse
This is legitimately stupid and indefensible. If there is actually nothing on the card what is the point?!

Re: Random: Final Fantasy Is The Next Magic: The Gathering Crossover, Here's A First Look
This is related to Nintendo how?
Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2
After my OLED got bricked about a year and a half ago I switched (pun VERY intended) back to my original Switch and I really haven’t missed the OLED screen very much. It’d certainly be great to go back to an OLED but it really doesn’t make that much of a difference for me.
Re: Talking Point: Is The Switch 2 Going To Be Too Big?
My Switch literally never leaves the house so size is not an issue.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Fans Are Once Again Discussing The Game's 'Censorship'
@ButterySmooth30FPS I’m not suggesting that at all. Rather, there exists an outlet for their sexual desires.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Fans Are Once Again Discussing The Game's Censorship
These people are aware that pornography exists, right?
Re: Review: Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge Of The Seven (Switch) - A Remake That's Equally Intriguing & Underwhelming
SwitchUp gave it a 91 and made it sound excellent. 🤷♂️
Re: Poll: Resident Evil 6 Turns 12 - Does It Really Deserve Its Dire Reputation?
I absolutely adore RE6 for its bombastic and over the top nature. It’s only gotten so much hate over the years because of baggage people have from their previous experiences with the series.

Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?
Price is completely irrelevant for me. I’m getting it no matter what.
Re: Talking Point: What Other LEGO Zelda Sets Would You Like To See After The Deku Tree?
A Guardian set would be awesome!
Re: Resident Evil 6 Has Sold Over 1 Million Copies On Nintendo Switch
For all of the hate that it gets RE6 is a damn good time. Aside from Revelations 2 it’s easily my favorite Resident Evil game.
Re: Nintendo Announces Second US Store, Opening 2025
Not gonna lie, on initial glance of the tagline my mind went to Frisco, TX not San Francisco, CA.
Re: Motorsport Eras Collide In 'Hot Lap Racing', Speeding Onto Switch This July
@sketchturner From what I can tell there is no relation between the two.
Re: Vampire Survivors Gets Contra Crossover DLC Next Month
@Cathalm It’s $5. Just get it digitally.
Re: Doug Cockle Returns To Narrate The Bloodsoaked Trailer For Tails Of Iron 2
The first game was excellent. I’m super hyped for this!
Re: Talking Point: What Would Make You Happy To Give Up Physical Games And Go 100% Digital?
I’ve been 100% digital since the 3DS. The convenience was all the convincing that I needed.
Re: Online Play For Steel Diver: Sub Wars On 3DS Has Been Discontinued Early
I played the hell out of Sub Wars back in the day. RIP.

God, I hope this gets localized.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Free Epilogue Lands On Switch Today, Will You Be Playing It?
I would if I could but my save data is currently stranded on my OLED which has become a brick because it stopped taking a charge. 😖
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2024
The one game that I REALLY want to be ported to Switch is Remnant 2. I absolutely adore the first one.
Re: Community: Nintendo Life Staff's Non-Game Highlights Of 2023
My non gaming highlights are Godzilla Minus One (best Godzilla movie EVER) and all the incredible music (most notably the albums from Hail the Sun, Space Weather, Wolf & Bear, and Dwellings).
Re: Borderlands 3 Switch Update Out Now, Includes Performance Optimisations & Much More
After playing a couple hours earlier it seems they’ve fixed basically every issue that I had encountered. I have never been more thankful for a patch!
Re: Borderlands 3 Switch Update Out Now, Includes Performance Optimisations & Much More
Thank god! I absolutely love the game but it has been incredibly unstable for me.
Re: Review: Star Ocean: The Second Story R - One Of The Very Best RPGs Of The Year
Well, guess I finally gotta finish Octopath 2. This sounds excellent.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?
I’ve had a Switch since 2017 and don’t own a single physical game. I am 100% down with a digital only model.
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Has Been Delayed Until December
I wasn’t intending on playing immediately (because of Borderlands 3 and many other games) anyway so I’m not bothered at all.
Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Teal Mask - DLC That Offers More, But Not Enough

Re: Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron Is An Aerial Assault On The Senses
God I hope that’s a preview of the soundtrack of the game. If so I’m sold on the music alone. Those are some sick riffs!
