I would pay $500 usd for Switch 2, especially if the power upgrade is worth it. I like both modern games AND nintendo. Needing to buy a PS5 or Series X on top of a Nintendo console is even more ridiculous, which is situation for the current Switch gen.
But, I think the $500 price point would hurt console sales numbers. So, I expect Switch 2 to be closer to $400-ish.
WOW that's overpriced. Skipping LM2 for this reason. These should be budget titles, no business being $60 usd. And this is in top of the fact that nintendo ended their discounted Nintendo Select titles.
Looking good! And this year I'm finally completing the fresh season catalog (currently level 97), yay! I missed out on the seafoam cap and zedfry slip-ons last fresh season.
Fighting ganon is about all that's left in my game, but I'm never in the mood for the final boss battle. It just seems stressful. Plus, there are zero games that I want releasing for the rest of the switch's life. MAYBE, if I knew there was another big game or two left to release for the Switch, that I want, I could be more motivated to beat TOTK, but there's nothing on the horizon that I want. Where the heck is Wind Waker, Nintendo? Gee whiz.
It's a bit ridiculous they waited until the END of the switch console's life to finally add landscape, which is probably mainly for tablet's. I have the NSO app on my galaxy tablet, but I don't have much use for the app anymore, since Splatoon 2 is old news, and Splatoon 3's two years of support are close to ending (if they dont extend that).
@FishyS Ahhhhh, you're right. Now I'm embarrassed that I tagged NL.😁🤣 I'd delete the tag, but that doesn't remove the notification message that got sent to them.😁 So, I wonder which NL staffer's time I just wasted? On their weekend, no less.🤣 Sorry NL!<33
Splatoon 3 Splatfest & Salmon Run Rocket League Tears of the Kingdom
Even started a new playthrough of BOTW last weekend. The beginning of that game is great.
Oh, these icons (for Odyssey, and MK8) are just the NSO icons that were already released in previous years. These aren't even new or exclusive icons. If you've had NSO in previous years, you probably already redeemed the icons you want.
I missed out on Wii U and hoped Splatoon 1 single player would be added as DLC on the Switch. Looking like that's never going to happen now. If they ever do port it, my money is ready.
Independent sounds good to me. I hope it's good for them. I'd LOVE a new Crash Team Racing. That game was sick, but load times were a bit rough for online. Even with those 50 second load screens, I probably still put about 100+ hours into online racing<3
It's not exactly what I wanted for the expansion, but I still really enjoyed it. It's pretty sick. Plenty of innovating with the new baddies and twists with gameplay and color chip buffs. A weapon kit that I thought woudl suck, actually ended up more OP than my perferred kit. Took me 12-15 hours to beat (8+ playthroughs). FInal boss is very cool. Ending is good. Music is sublme. Started a new playthrough with a different weapon kit after the ending. Easy recommendation for splatoon likers.
@nintendolife I love that the games-on-sale list can be sorted by %discount or by lowest price. I know the feature isn't new, but it's very handy. Thank you!<3
@-wc- Archive game and Delete game do the same thing on the Switch, but Archive keeps the game's icon on switch home screen. Yeah, it's just a preference thing.
For me, these types of free digital game giveaways have reliably created more regret than they do pleasure - plus they really clutter up the redownload page of eshop.
I don't know how they can make a good movie for Zelda. And After Detective Pokemon and Mario Bros Movie, I don't know how much excitement there is for another story about a human intersecting with a game world. However, I do trust Miyamoto. We'll see, I guess.
It means developmet of next zelda starts sooner. That fine. Totk has so much content, its like they gave us the extra content at launch, which better explains the $70 usd price tag.

$60 usd, seems like it would have been a harder sell if they didn't try to improve it.

Re: Epic Mickey Switch Remake Translates "Motion Controls To Analog Sticks" And Enhances Camera
"Translating motion control to analog sticks" sounds like a downgrade, but I don't know how motion was used in the first iteration of the game.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From The Next Super Mario Bros. Movie?
I thought it was a bit shallow, and I'm skeptical that I'll care for another movie.
But I have to give nintendo credit for making a movie that did well.

Good art style. I'm skeptical it can run on the switch. I'll keep an eye out for it, or a review.
Re: Zelda Producer Responds To Fans Who Want A More "Traditional Linear" Adventure
Resource farming is WAY too time consuming, on top of still-too-fragile weapons. I liked the game otherwise.

Re: Reaction: What's Your Gut Feeling On The Zelda Movie News?
I don't know how they can make a good movie for Zelda. And After Detective Pokemon and Mario Bros Movie, I don't know how much excitement there is for another story about a human intersecting with a game world. However, I do trust Miyamoto. We'll see, I guess.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie

Re: New Nintendo Joystick Patent Could Spell The End For Future Drift Issues
I could have bought a new console with the money I've spent replacing controllers. Its a bit ridiculous.
Four of my pro cons collect dust because they drift. If it was easier to replace the sticks, I would have.
