I am trying to rapidly play Tomodachi Life on my Modded 3DS to decide if I want to buy a voucher for TOTK and Living the Dream.
EDIT: The game is fine, though I can't say I'd get $50 worth out of Living the Dream. I never used vouchers since I was more of a physical diehard on Switch 1, and I suppose now I never will. I hope Nintendo replaces it with a better program (something like Nintendo Selects), but given their recent track record, I'm not getting my hopes up.
When the card is inserted in the system, you just see the tiny edge of the card, and that's only on the back of the console WHILE the kickstand is open. $40 extra for that is insane.
I'm anticipating a Partner Showcase. We have enough titles to last us until the Summer, so a Direct before Spring probably isn't necessary.
I also wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo moves to a schedule of having 2 General Directs annually during the Switch 2's lifespan, with 1 in Late March/Early April and one in September.
@MoldyPasta Nice! I played Undertale for the first time in 2024 and it truly was a phenomenal experience. The True Pacifist final boss was one of the best moments in a game I had ever seen.
As a general rule of thumb, games shouldn't be announced until the devs are mostly certain that they can release it within a year or less of the announcement.
Hollow Knight: Silksong This is one of those games that just absolutely hooks me. I'll probably be spending most of my time on this game. Currently, I'm going around the map going to places I couldn't before now that I have the wall jump.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons I'm trying to play this for just a brief amount of time daily. Yesterday, Nook's Cranny and Island Services were closed due to renovation, so I'm interested in seeing them reopen today.
Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders As always, I'll probably play a few matches in either or both of these games.
@FrenchVaniIIuxe "You don't 'leave' a company immediately after a high-profile release that was contentious at best."
Why not? If Tanabe planned on retiring, why wouldn't he leave soon after finishing a major release? Besides, most people generally found that the game was serviceable, and that would hardly ever justify a producer with such an impactful legacy being fired.
Nintendo has some truly impeccable timing. They waited over half a year to post a trailer showing off all their free Switch 2 updates only to release the first free update in a while the day later.
This weekend, I'm aiming to finish or get closer to finishing some games.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond I've got 4 Teleporter Keys and have made it into the Mines where I've just been separated from Armstrong. The game is fun but flawed so far.
Super Mario Galaxy I have enough Power Stars to get to Peach, but I want to finish the Garden first. I'm enjoying the game, but some of its aspects definitely feel like they're showing age.
Hades II I'm really close to the end. By my estimation I only need to prevail twice more at the highest peak and once more in the lowest depths to finish the game. While I would've preferred if the game was a little less repetitive, it is a wonderful game.
These awards look a bit better than TGAs: it actually takes place after the year it's going over and doesn't boringly have genres for most of the categories.

I messed up on the Lego question by only reading the UK prices when I had previously seen the set prices in USD, so I got confused.

Hollow Knight: Silksong
I'm making my way through Act 2. This game truly is incredible.
Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders
Probably going to play a few online matches here and there.
Have a good weekend, everyone!
Re: Poll: What Nintendo Switch 2 Games Are You Most Excited For In 2026?
Deltarune Chapter 5 and the as of yet unannounced Pokemon Gen 10.

All hail Hugh Morris! All hail Hugh Morris!
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream's Price And Box Art Have Been Revealed
The box art is cute, but I don't think this game justifies $60 for me.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Hugh Morris carried the direct.

My first reaction to the teddy bear was
"Freddy Fazbear"
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Is Getting A Themed MicroSD Express Card
When the card is inserted in the system, you just see the tiny edge of the card, and that's only on the back of the console WHILE the kickstand is open. $40 extra for that is insane.
I'm sure collectors will eat it up, though.

Re: Kirby Air Riders Has Been Updated To Version 1.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
GameShare felt like a natural fit for a more niche multiplayer game like this, so I'm glad it's finally getting the update.

Re: Mailbox: Non-Standard Switch 2s, Joy-Con Colours, Zelda amiibo We Need - Nintendo Life Letters
How about a Morshu amiibo that charges your credit card every time you scan it?
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
What a scam. I was promised NO GAME INFORMATION, but in the Direct, they talked about information about older games that had Yoshi in them!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th January)
@MoldyPasta Nice! I played Undertale for the first time in 2024 and it truly was a phenomenal experience. The True Pacifist final boss was one of the best moments in a game I had ever seen.
Good luck with the Genocide Run!

Re: Pokémon Legends Z-A Ranked Battle Season 6 Start Date And Rewards Revealed
I love Swampert! Hopefully we get Home compatibility soon, cause I do not own the DLC.
Re: The Next 'Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Nintendo Direct Arrives Sunday, 25th January
They'll reveal Wario, also voiced by Chris Pratt, and in the movie they'll reveal that Wario is actually Mario stuck in a time loop or something.

Re: Random: Mario Wonder's New Box Art Might Be The Ugliest 'Switch 2 Edition' Cover Yet
A diagonal separator would have been much better (though still ugly).
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd January (North America)
Eventually I'll pick up FF7RI, but right now I'm too busy being addicted to Silksong.
Re: Lego Teases Another Adult Mario Kart Set, This Time Starring Luigi
I like how half of this comment section is talking about the Lego itself and then the rest is misinterpreting the phrasing of 'Adult Mario Kart'.

Re: A 'World Class' Pokémon Attraction Is Coming To Universal Studios
Well that was incredibly vague. They didn't say a thing about Super Nintendo World. This may not even be a land.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup In Bellabel Park Arrives On Switch 2 In March
Yeah, we're not getting a General Direct before March (if that) are we?

Re: Pokémon Legends Z-A Version 2.0.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
The increase to the Mega shard limit is a great improvement. Also, why are there so many game updates this week?
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.5.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I checked this article on mobile and it auto played a video about 200CC and for a brief moment I thought the update actually had content.

Another seafaring soundtrack. What's next?
Re: Video: Nintendo Highlights Enhanced Switch Games On Switch 2
I really hope we get some more. At the very least some handheld mode resolution patches.

@AussieMcBucket yeah, I thought your comment was funny
Re: Super Nintendo World Is Celebrating Its Fifth Anniversary In Style
It would be cool if we could get the park's OST released on Nintendo Music for the Anniversary.
Re: Opinion: I'm Happy amiibo Survived The Console Jump, But These Unlocks Are Getting Silly
I'm surprised Pokemon hasn't done much with amiibo. They sure love overpriced merchandise.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2025 'Year In Review' Is Available Now
I created a new account when Switch 2 dropped in June, so this isn't totally accurate.
I played for 664 hours.
My 3 most played games in order were Mario Kart World (153 hours), Pokémon Legends: Z-A (83 hours), and Donkey Kong Bananza (57 hours).
My favorite game was Deltarune.
