This game feels like it was a favour to Sakurai, like how the continued existence of Pikmin is a favour to Miyamoto. Which I kind of like despite not having any interest in this game. (or a Switch 2 for that matter)
Baffling how there isn't a permanent European store. If Nintendo had always taken a direct route to profits (as some people on here claim) they'd have been one for decades.
I'm a bit confused, in what sense is it "required"?
Like, will the games not appear on your TV screen and the buttons on your pro controller not respond if you don't have the accessory?
Do you need it to start the game up to begin with?
Or is it just "required" if you want the full experience?
Because I'd be happy enough just to play Wario Land in red and black.
I have the Expansion membership anyhow,
so guess I can just wait and see.

Re: Kirby Air Riders Looks To Be Powered By Bandai Namco's New In-House Engine
I think Nintendo need to give us more information about this game.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Three More Super Mario Wood Block amiibo Sets
Was at the Tokyo Nintendo store on Monday,
they have a little area where small mammals could play with the Mario blocks.
Was pretty cute.

Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct #2: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate it?
Two directs and a demo;
they really want us to have a lot of information before we decide to not buy the game.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct #2: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate it?
Hmm, I think we need another Air Riders Direct before I can decide.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct #2: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate it?
Sakurai, you diabolical...
Bringing in Rick the Hamster,
that's how they get you.
@Oldstalk
I mean, Sakurai presided over one of the most hyped up set of DLC announcements in history...
Re: Nintendo Direct For Kirby Air Riders Announced For Thursday, 23rd October
This game feels like it was a favour to Sakurai,
like how the continued existence of Pikmin is a favour to Miyamoto.
Which I kind of like despite not having any interest in this game.
(or a Switch 2 for that matter)

It's all rather cloying isn't it?

Re: Splatoon 2 Version 5.5.2 Now Live For Switch And Switch 2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Splatoon 3 really wasn't needed for Switch 1.
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Stellar Battles, But A Step Down From Arceus
"Visuals feel lifeless and flat"
Ever since it was announced it's looked so washed out to me.
Overall the game seems far from essential,
a hard swerve from me.

Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
Absolutely right.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
The physical edition in Japan is around £38,
not much more than the £34 for Galaxy 2 on eShop.
Is Galaxy 1 much improved on the 3D Collection version?

Wasn't really any point holding a vote for this one.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Reveals Another Distribution
I remember going to a shopping mall to download Mew back in the day.
I feel like it's lost its specialness since then.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
Until I know exactly what is meant by "required",
I really can't answer the first question.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds
Think I'd go for this over Mario Kart World.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Switch Online Icons Revealed
@Suketoudara
If Yoshi's Wooly World and Kirby's Epic Yarn came out on Switch 2 but not Switch 1 I'd be pretty disappointed.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Switch Online Icons Revealed
Will be interesting to see if they continue supporting the Switch in the way that Sega and Sony did with past consoles over the years.
My suspicion is that other than Pokemon there won't be any Switch games beyond 2026.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush (Switch 2) - DLC That's Ripe With Fun, But Could've Been More
Seems like the perfect example of DLC that would be very welcome as free to obtain,
but feels very lacking to charge for it.

There were already parts of the game that appeared to be Virtual Boy inspired.
