I got the 256GB Sandisk SD-card, available at launch. It was 40 Euro, so the obvious choice. It's too small now though. But I won't buy a new one until the prices stabilize or go down. Even it takes another year or more. I'll just delete and redownload the larger games in the meantime. I hardly play undocked or on the go. So having all my games with me at all times is not important.

The good sales figures for this game can easily be explained. All the die-hard Yoshi-game fans and the people who are just into cutesy games, picked up this title immediately. I'm betting that we won't see it in the top 10 of June sales. Not even in the top 50, if there were one.

As for my, I really like Yoshi games, but I'm not convinced by this one. It's too gimmicky. I'm getting Zelda TotK vibes. Meaning, taking a new concept and make the whole game focus purely on that. Like TotK with its building mechanics. Fun, but not for me. I just wanted better dungeons and a good story. The Yoshi Book game is the same. It focuses on field experimentation and creature interaction. That doesn't interest me. I just wanted a good platformer with some fun story elements strewn about.

Work is work, so I'm not worried about the people potentially losing their jobs. Yeah, I know that that sound's harsh. It's talented people with proper work ethics that need to be kept. The rest can be let go. Again, that sounds harsh, but that's my long lifetime of work experience.

I'm working, so not much time. I'll be playing the Star Fox demo and the Onimusha demo on PS5

Coral nooooo!

Seen the trailer. This looks like a cash grab. No effort. Bound to make some people happy, for a very short while, but not me.

I tried Star Fox on SNES and N64 waaaay back when, but it wasn't my jam. I'm so curious to retry. So I'm happy for the demo. Will try tonight.

I want Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. Also a new Wave Race, with the N64 and GC tracks added too.

Thanks for the reminder. The Summer Vibes DLC looks so good.

Remaking an original is the safest bet to keep the franchise alive. Still, I'm wondering if it will be enough. As for me, it's not. Considering Panzer Dragoon Zwei on the Sega Saturn, I'm still waiting for an on-rail shooter that gives me such highs as that game did.

There's a relatively small but VERY vocal group of people who hate the story of this game. People with a certain type of socio-political views... Their vocal hatred only shines a spotlight on this game, which makes it even more popular with the general audience. I'm sure that this plays into of the success of this game, and I'm glad for it.

Working a lot, so I don't have much time. But I'm really excited to try the Alabaster Dawn demo. A new game by the devs of CrossCode, a game I adore. The game is coming to Early Access on Steam next week, but a Switch version is planned too.

Don't have much time. I want to try out the Pragmata demo.

Great for some users, but Belkin will loose money on this product. Too niche.

Please announce the release for Okami Sequel soon !! And a 60fps update to Okami HD in the mean time. Please?!?!?!

I've been driving 11 hours this weekend. The only game I had the attention span for was Stitch. Just relaxing with a few new daily puzzles.

I can't do sub-60fps games anymore. The movement, especially on a large display, is jarring. It takes all the fun out of gaming.

I have every model. All of them completely worn down by me and my daughters. But my last New 3DS Xl is my favorite. It's the orange and black version. And nobody is touching it but me!

I love gaming in 3D. Too bad that Nintendo isn't continuing it.

Been re-playing Fallout 3 for three weeks straight, so I need a break. I'm about to start Far Cry Primal. Meanwhile, I'm nearly done with the Mega Man Legacy Collection on Switch. I've never played Mega Man 6 before.

Just to get this off my chest. Please, get an 8Bitdo Pro controller for your side scroller games. The d-pad on these is so much better than the one on the Switch 1 and 2 pro controllers. The positioning too. I have the SN30 Pro+, which (after the Pro2) is the last model to have a membrane d-pad. Choose this one if you prefer the classic feel of the 90's controllers.

The trailer for Belmont's Curse is looking good and I think that this game will be a hit. But the graphical style and fast paced gameplay is not for me. I would have liked a more darker/subdued and gritty looking and feeling Castlevania game.

If Konami is promising more to come, then I hope that the first Lords of Shadow and Mirror of Fate will get remasters this year.

Continuing heavily modded Fallout 3 and also Mega Man Legacy Collection.

I'm not into multiplayer, so 80% of the content is not for me. I'll be upgrading, but only for the Captain Toad side story content, the boss challenges and the upgrade to (almost) 4K.

Replaying Fallout 3. Heavily modded this time, on my newly upgraded PC.

I love most main line Kirby games, but I don't care much about the spinoff's. Same goes most other Nintendo's IPs.

The excitement over Nintendo's IP spinoff's is often overblown by the gaming press. But the target audience of these games is usually fairly small.

Nintendo's own Switch 2 games aren't small either. They are somewhat smaller than the larger 3rd party games because of the art style chosen. Nintendo uses simpler graphics, requiring lower resolution textures and thus requiring less storage space. There are plenty of studios/publishers that have released MASSIVE games with a much smaller footprint on the Switch. But I agree that Nintendo should work more proactively in helping devs to optimize for the Switch/Switch 2.

I saw someone on YT go through the Switch 2 version menu setting. Like in the PS4 version, you can't disable the camera shaking. And that's so weird, because in the PC version you can.

Playing AC: Valhalla; Dawn of Ragnarok on PS5. Two years ago, I was really burned out on AC Valhalla. This extension DLC is nothing special, but it's kind of nice.

Working, so not much time. But I'll find a couple of banana gems in DK: Bananza tomorrow.

Yes, I replay NES games regularly. NSO has a couple good ones, but most of my favorites are not available. So I emulate those. No qualms about it. Nintendo should release more classic games! I don't care if they have to battle it out with the publishers. But it's very likely that Nintendo simply doesn't care.

Nintendo being optimistic... Sure hope it pans out.

I'm so excited for this game to finally resurface! My hopes flared up when House of the Dead 2 remake (same studio) was released. The remake of the first game was really good, but Panzer Dragoon Zwei is the game that has my heart. Such a good ambience and such good memories. Can't wait!

I'm waiting (and wishing) for a proper d-pad focused left joy-con. Like we had for the Switch 1.

Maybe still a bit early to tell? But things aren't looking that great, for now.... I'm hopeful of things getting better soon though.

System launches aren't easy. But with Nintendo looking to pursue the success of the first Switch, you would think that there would be more exclusive Switch 2 titles and more Switch 2 upgrades (even from 3rd parties). Yes there are quit a few, but certainly not enough to convince new players to enter the ecosystem.

Mario Kart World being a good example of thing going wrong too. Sure, Nintendo is trying to "switch" things up a bit with this iteration. But too much for old MK fans, and not enough for new ones.

For me personally, I have finally upgraded my March 7th 2017 OG Switch to a more capable console. I'm just happy with the quality of life upgrades for my favorite OG Switch games on my huge OLED TV for now. Like BotW for example. And DK Bonanza is really fun too.

Still, Nintendo needs to step it up. And game-key cards... What the crap!

The d-pad, pictured on the black controller, looks aggressive. Like the one on the first Genesis/Mega Drive 6-button controller and on the JP/European version of the Saturn controller. Those were very comfortable and very precise for 2-D- and fighting games. I dare to argue that the d-pad on the Saturn controller is the best ever made. And I know that I'm not the only one saying that. But it all depends on the switches and the materials Gulikit is using. You can't tell until you try it.

Any excuse to relive the 80's! Count me in.

My wonderful plans for this weekend fell in the water, dried up and then burnt to a crisp in the blazing hot sun. Out of frustration I bought DK: Bananza It should be ready downloading now.

At a certain point, a company can't improve on one of it's main products that much in order to justify yet another 50+ Euros purchase. The lack of a headphone jack is very annoying!

I'm hoping for new games to be announced, or the ones that don't have console releases yet. Like Faeland, Fallen Leaf and Gecko Gods.

I bought the new one too. Yes, it's a little nicer, but not worth the extra money to be honest. My only justification being that I gifted my OG Switch with the first Pro controller to my daughter.

The Switch 2 needs this game in 2025.

Being gen-x myself, I understand the references. But I still think it's cringe. Forced humor isn't humor.

So the full Switch 2 price and the additional cost of the DLC... That's harsh Nintendo...really...

I'm guessing Reggie would have (and has, in private) plenty more to say about Nintendo's current decisions, the Switch 2 launch, it's game prices and impending NSO GC releases.

I was a bit out of the news loop when the Switch 2 was announced. Two days later I watched the recaps and saw all the anger about the prices. I shrugged and smiled while watching BoTW running at 1440p - 60fps. But then I saw Wind Waker on NSO...

NINTENDO !! YOU KNOW that Zelda fans have been wanting Wind Waker HD (and Twilight Princess HD) on the Switch FOR SO LONG !! Is it really too much too ask!?!??!

These two Zelda games could easily sell 4 to 5 million copies each. I still have hope, but I really don't understand Nintendo sometimes. I'm sure that if Reggie would have still been at Nintendo, he would have made it happen.
