Hyrule warriors for my daughter... yeah that's it. Nintendo ain't getting much money from me this year.
Main disappointment was the missing Splatoon Raiders, the main thing I was looking forward to.
I was excited for virtual boy for a while there. But I'm not paying for a subscription to be able to use a $100 pice of plastic. (I would probably have paid the $100 if I could have bought the games for $10 each).
I rarely buy games for full price!
At the very least I've been using a game voucher.
My general approach is
1 Used physical
2 Digital on sale.
3 New physical on sale
4 Digital with voucher
Can't recall the last game I've payed full price for.
I was planning to not extend my subscription that ends October 2nd. I'm not a fan of MKW and I'm done with splatoon 3. But I will be annoyed if I change my mind the coming two months...
The first NSO game I'm actually interested in playing... but I'm not going to start an +expansion pack subscription for trying out this one game. Maybe one day.
Guess the investors are buying the hype. I'm not sure the casuals are going to pick up a switch 2 the same way they did with switch 1. Next two years will be interesting.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Reveals Another Distribution
Enjoyed Aceus and Scarlet, but Z-A will be a pass for so many reasons.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
If they put the games on a cart I would be in on it.
Not paying $100 and tying my self to NSO+ on top of that.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
Can't you guys plot a graph of the weekly system sales and e.g. DK sales so it is possible to see the trend over time?
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch And Switch 2 Direct Game In New Infographic
I will be forced to buy Warriors for the kids.
Other than that I'm buy nothing of this.
Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time
Ha ha ha, you guys are funny, comparing 2D and 3D games... any way,
Odyssey is not at #1 so that must be a typo.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
Have both on the Wii U if I get the itch.
Maybe I should finish up my Galaxy 2 save...
Re: ICYMI: If You Want To Play Virtual Boy Classics, You'll Need To Buy One Of Nintendo's Accessories
2017, snes mini
Hardware, 21 games, 2 controllers: $80
2025, virtual boy
No hardware, 0 games, 0 controllers: $100
Re: Nintendo Releasing Physical 'Talking Flower' From Mario Wonder Next Spring
It won't be quiet unless you are subscribed to NSO.
Re: ICYMI: If You Want To Play Virtual Boy Classics, You'll Need To Buy One Of Nintendo's Accessories
I would have payed the $100, but not if I also have to rent the games to play on it.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets A Release Date, Open World Confirmed
That motorcycle driving mechanic looked... really stiff... I hope it feels better than it looked.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets A Release Date, Open World Confirmed
@Corvus96
So were dungeons and linearity for Zelda. Things can change... dude.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets A Release Date, Open World Confirmed
Only thing I want to know is if you can save at any time or if the still have the stupid save stations....
Re: Virtual Boy Is Being Added To Nintendo Switch Online
@Bass_X0
No, you are not going to be able to play any of those on that $100 adapter.
Re: Virtual Boy Is Being Added To Nintendo Switch Online
$100 and then you have to pay for a subscription to use it?
You can't even buy the games...
... words are failing me...
(I was excited there for a second actually.)
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
Keeping my money.
I'd rather boot up my old Wii U if I would like to return to these games.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct September Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
1h Splatoon Raiders, nothing else.
Re: The Best Nintendo Switch 2 Games
Look at that, a Wii U game at number 4...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th September)
3% MKW ... it's that bad.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th September)
Finally playing Mario odyssey and Hyrule warriors on my Switch Pro.
They have been in the backlog for quite some time
Re: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?
Apart from the bundled and rather disappointing MKW, I've only payed to upgrade BOTW, that's it.
It does however serve it's purpose as a switch pro.

Re: Nintendo Life Reader Survey 2025
Physical vs digital is not i don't care. It's it depends on a lot of things.
Online games and games I play a little here and there I'm fine with digital.
For major games I play from start to finish I prefer physical.
Re: Video: We've Played Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2 - Here's 16 Minutes Of Gameplay
Hey developers, maybe do not show a crappy version first next time.
Re: PSA: Switch Online Offering "Two Bonus Months" With 12-Month Memberships (Europe)
I was planning to not extend my subscription that ends October 2nd.
I'm not a fan of MKW and I'm done with splatoon 3.
But I will be annoyed if I change my mind the coming two months...
Re: The Force Isn't Strong With Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2, Initial Impressions Suggest
I'm for some reason curious about this game.
There will be a sale down the line where it might be worth buying.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Announces Version 1.7 Update
@cvrator
My point is that energy is too much of an issue in the early game for it to be fun.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Announces Version 1.7 Update
@flighty
Just give me one potato to start growing in the beginning of the game and I'd be happy.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Announces Version 1.7 Update
My character got hungry all the time so I dropped this game within the first hour I think.
Hope he fixes that...
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch And Switch 2 Hardware Are Both Crushing The Competition
Wonder if Nintendo is happy with the DK sales numbers?
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Is Selling Like Bananas On Switch 2 (US)
I would like to know how switch 2 launch software sales compares to switch 1 launch sw sales.
Re: Hitman: World Of Assassination Updated On Switch 2, Here Are The Patch Notes
Removed from wishlist!
Re: Former PlayStation Head Praises Nintendo For Being "In Touch With Their Fan Base"
They are not in touch with me, that's for sure.
Re: Opinion: Silksong's Big 'Anticlimactic' Premiere Was Absolutely Perfect
With switch 2 logic, the long development time and the desperate fan base, this should be a $80 game.
(Good thing it's not developed by Nintendo).
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Kart World Gets Back To Demolishing The Competition
Feeling sorry for all those MKW buyers.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Lands Another New Mega Evolution
Believing this trailer, houses looks much better on the inside!
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Charging through corners looks so satisfying.
Re: Pokémon Teases A Spooky Legends: Z-A Reveal Later This Week
Preparing to be underwhelmed.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Zooms Onto Switch 2 This November
I would not hesitate to trade my bundled MKW for this one.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.2.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Only managed to force my self to play 7h of MKW so far.
Seems I'm not going to play this again in a long time.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Drag x Drive?
I can't vote since I have not played it... (that does not seem to be a problem for everyone)
Seems to be around 6 or 7 when ignoring the extremists.
Re: Video: Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Full Gameplay Demo
Z-A... They could have called it "Pokemon Labyrinth"...
Less and less a fan of this city setting the more I see.
Re: Round Up: The First "Hands On" Impressions Of The Pokémon Legends: Z-A Demo Are In
It's not the combat that has me worried about this game...
Re: First Impressions: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is An Attempt To Catch The Hardcore Again
I played and enjoyed Arceus and Scarlet. Z-A is still a pass for me thanks to the ugly boring city setting.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week
The first NSO game I'm actually interested in playing... but I'm not going to start an +expansion pack subscription for trying out this one game.
Maybe one day.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
I do not like basketball nor mouse controls, so most unlikely.
If people I trust says it amazing I might reconsider.
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Is Now Double The Height Of The Wii Era
Guess the investors are buying the hype.
I'm not sure the casuals are going to pick up a switch 2 the same way they did with switch 1.
Next two years will be interesting.
Re: Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, Silksong All Playable At Nintendo's Gamescom Booth
Guess that means Splatoon Raiders is way into 2026... at best....
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Playable Switch 2 Demo Appearing At Upcoming Events
Love to hear what people have to say about this one. I'm on the fence to say the least.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Kirby And The Forgotten Land?
I'm planning to play the original game on switch 2.
... as soon as I come across a used copy worth buying.
