Bond just looks wrong imo. But I managed to get passed the character design for Start Wars Outlaws, so I guess I'll manage this as well. Not a day one, I'll wait for reviews and to see some actual gameplay.
This could be fun... but I don't think I have time for a game like this right now :/
On topic: I like GKCs for buying cheap second hand games. Got Star Wars Outlaws for a steal. Then I can sell if I feel like it (has still to happen). I prefer real physical, but since they tend to download the whole thing any way these days. In the end you're probably not really playing the game that is on the card you are plugging in.
I feel sorry for people who let others opinions influence their experience with a game. I've heard so much crap about Star Wars Outlaws, hasn't stopped me one bit from totally enjoying the game.
(If anything, I think it's worse when people praise a game that I find disappointing).
Can't remember noticing any stutters playing on the switch 2 at least. Basically a "Short hike" kind of game imo. Nothing mind blowing, but a decent wind down cozy game.
Please be a better year than 2025.
Only got Splatoon on my radar so far, but maybe Nintendo manages to surprise (in a good way even) a few times this year...
3 on the Wii U was my favorite in the series. In 4 they crammed in to much stuff that it became a bit unfocused imo.
I would like to repay 3 on switch 2... but my guess is that they will ask way too much for it, so I guess I will just replay it on the old U some day...
@CupidStunt Guess it depends on how you rate a switch 2 edition? Imo BOTW SW2 edition was not really worth the price. I would give BOTW 10/10, but the switch 2 edition upgrade is a 5/10 at best.

I can see myself playing this one.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 9 Pokémon?
After playing The Teal Mask I grew quite fond of Ogerpon.
Had the best battle animation too.

I'd pay $20 for a physical copy.
Re: Forget The Talking Flower, This Is The Cutest Upcoming Mario Toy
@PerfectFrost
Problem is that I see theme parks, museums, movies and toys, but not many really great games in quite a while
Re: Forget The Talking Flower, This Is The Cutest Upcoming Mario Toy
@Jamie64326
Because I prefer good games over toys, movies, theme parks or mediocre games.
I'm personally glad that they steered away from toys in the past, so I'm not thrilled about this direction.
You are free to enjoy any Nintendo toys, past, present or future!
Re: Forget The Talking Flower, This Is The Cutest Upcoming Mario Toy
I think Nintendo should go back to focusing on making good games.

Eggstra work.
Re: Ubisoft Staff Push Back Against Company Restructure With Three-Day Strike
Ubisoft stock has fallen 94% in five years, so not even the stock market is impressed.
Management must be really disconnected from reality.
But outlaws was good in my opinion, so they still have some competence...

Re: My Nintendo Store Adds A New Virtual Boy Reward (Europe)
Way better than the $100 subscription shell they released for nso+ members.
Re: Jigglypuff Is Joined By Up-And-Comer Lady Gaga In Pokémon's Super Bowl Ad
Hope they didn't take money from the development team for this ad.
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics
Can't wait to hear the 6 month in review.
Are they collecting dust or is this a daily driver...

But given the lack of games I've been interested in for the switch 2 so far, it might even be a probably...
Re: Nintendo Will "Carefully Consider" A Switch 2 Price Increase, Says Furukawa
That's when they release the OLED model.
Re: Poll: What Nintendo Switch 2 Games Are You Most Excited For In 2026?
Splatoon (and possibly 007)
And that's despite knowing nothing about the splatoon title.
A really weak lineup for 2026 so far.

Re: Splatoon 3 Ver. 11.0.0 Update Launches This Week, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Flow Aura sounds like something that is going to give the superior team an upper hand.
Not sure that is what this game is in need of.
Re: Nintendo Announces Launch Line-Up For Switch Online Virtual Boy
I which they had other priorities right now... but maybe they have been sitting on this for years...
Re: Talking Point: Metroid Prime 4 And The Burden Of Being 'Good Enough'
I feel sorry for people who let others opinions influence their experience with a game.

Re: Opinion: I'm Happy amiibo Survived The Console Jump, But These Unlocks Are Getting Silly
Best amiibo unlock was Splatoon 1 where you could unlock new minigames to play while waiting for the next match.
Re: Opinion: The Nintendo Console Nobody Wanted To Review Returns Soon, And I'm Here For It, Again
I think it's really cool...
Apart from that you have to rent the games for your $100 shell.
... so they managed to make it lame after all.
Re: Review: Snufkin: Melody Of Moominvalley (Switch) - A Joyful, Dreamlike Adventure With An Edge
Can't remember noticing any stutters playing on the switch 2 at least.
Basically a "Short hike" kind of game imo.
Nothing mind blowing, but a decent wind down cozy game.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Joy-Con 2 Set?
Why not use nice colors and why not do something with the colors of the buttons?
Re: Nintendo Reveals First New Joy-Con 2 Colours For Switch 2
Not a fan of pastel colors, so not for me.
Re: Surprise! Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Gets A Switch & Switch 2 Demo This Week, Includes Bonus Reward
Prefect for me, was curious about this release, but not enough to just buy it.
Will definitely give the demo a go.
Re: Random: Lego Fans Have Apparently Forgotten What Game Boy Cartridges Look Like

Re: Poll: So, Now The Dust Has Settled, How Did You Find Myles MacKenzie?
Was planning to pick up a used copy at some point. But reading the comments has convinced me to avoid it altogether.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2: All Confirmed Games & Release Dates
Looks like another backlog year for me.
Re: Splatoon 3 Has Now Been Rated For The Switch 2
Not expecting anything from this.
(Maybe hoping there will be some badges etc from playing Raiders carrying over to Splatoon 3)
Personally I'm ready for Splatoon 4.

What is there to fix?
As long as you are paying, they have no problems at all.

Re: Talking Point: Our 2026 Nintendo And Switch 2 Predictions
Since I think Nintendo has missed the mark on almost everything this year, I'll keep my expectations in check.
I have one wish for 2026: Splatoon Raiders, what ever it is, just let it be good...

Wonder if they will break even on MP4...
Re: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Nintendo Switch 2 Rating Pops Up Online
3 on the Wii U was my favorite in the series.
In 4 they crammed in to much stuff that it became a bit unfocused imo.
I would like to repay 3 on switch 2... but my guess is that they will ask way too much for it, so I guess I will just replay it on the old U some day...

Mario Kart World at 29, seems about right.

"Rushed"... was not expecting that =)
Re: Reminder: It's Time To Rate Your Switch 1 & 2 Games Of The Year
To my absolute surprise Star Wars Outlaws of all games saved my switch 2 experience this year.
I'm not even a star wars fan.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment's Next Patch Out This Week, Adds New Difficulty Mode
Just add Sooga to the game.
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
Got a used copy really cheap, glad I did, this game is much better than I expected. I'm not even that much into star wars.
If Beyond Good and Evil had a sequel I would have hoped for something like this.
Re: Japanese Charts: Well, Look At Who's Snuck Back Into First Place

Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.4.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@garfreek
It took me 6h to realize that I wasn't having fun enough to continue.
Not saying you seen everything in 6h, if it's your thing you're milage will vary.
I had 150h in MK 8, if it's fun, there's a lot of replay value.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.4.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
So still no reason to return to this game.
Most expensive 6h of gameplay so far in my collection.
