Velen studios. They already said they made an engine for making n64 games for switch 2 and the trailer looked like the style of starfox. I also hope it is them because they did a great job with starfox. I think Nintendo team are making a new zelda

@Eririichi that’s actually a really fair point

@UndockedActionFemme if people want physical collections that’s absolutely fine but I’m saying don’t use preservation as a reason because it is wrong. If you want physical because you like holding the physical medium and having it in your physical possession that’s your thing but preservation is best through digital with regularly backups in different locations

@nomither6 because it’s clutter and there is something from being physically free from physical possessions. Having a big collection takes up space and mental space too. This is just a personal opinion and personal experience btw I am not saying I’m against physical collections.

What is not my opinion is there it bitrot and natural degradation and that preservation is digital ironically.

@nomither6 yer I literally sold my collection because I realised it wasn’t what I thought it was. It was just physical objects which yes some look cool but I tried to also reduce how much physical space collectibles took up.

On a serious note after I visited the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto I felt this kind of calm that I could see any console variant or rare game again in a place where they are protected. I didn’t have to own and protect the stuff myself to be able to enjoy looking at it anymore. I don’t know if that makes sense or not but it was one of the best things about visiting the museum which I didnt expect or even consider

@breach187 yes bitrot! That’s the word. I also might suffer from a little bitrot myself HAHA. Well now I think about it… we all do… so the only way to preserve us like all physical media is to become digitised and stored to separate localisation and backup often

@nomither6 I had n64 games and consoles that just didn’t work anymore. I was actually a collector for around 20 years. Even took pilgrimages to Japan circa 2013-2019 (precovid) to buy consoles and games there too. Sega Nintendo PlayStation. I had game and watch and everything since. But slowly yes consoles but also games stopped working. And there’s a reason for this. Everytime you use a device the material slightly degrades. And environmental conditions such as light and air will slowly degrade them . I sold them and I changed as a person. I gained space. I gained myself. I lost myself and made the collection me when I was younger but now I’m slowly becoming my true self. I am now freeer than before

@JohnnyMind exactly at least with key cards you can still sell for a good price! It makes no difference to the experience

To the preservation people, your physical media will deteriorate one day and will not work. The only way to preserve something is to make it digital and save it perpetually in different locations. This is for any physical media.
Also why are Steam always angels but console companies always devils for going digital only?

@MamaSymphonia hope you are hungry hahahahahah

@Coalescence emulation is literally the opposite of scalping…. It allows you to play a 20 year old game without spending £200

Also they’re not after emulation users they’re after sharing brand new games that are being sold currently (and more broadly rom sharing)

650 pounds is stupid, sorry to be blunt, but thats the truth. 80 quid on aliexpress. i bought an OLED portable for around less than a third of this years ago and now its sub 100...

@Elektrogeist1287 I’m loving the game

Looks like you never played Pokémon red lol plenty of creeps in that game haha

I preferred 2 to 3 but when I tried a few months ago I couldn’t connect to any matches online? Anyone else experienced this? I thought no one is playing it anymore but if they’re updating it there should be players…

Do the games run at 120 FPS at 1080p or 1440p?

is there going to be a video with footage coming soon for this? really interested to see hyrule warriors in action 🤔

Is sonic racing cross worlds what Mario Kart World should have been? I was really hoping/expecting them to make like a Smash Bros Kart

If the demo isn't available in physical format I'm not interested.

Having an outdoor court with nice scenery would be enough to make me want to try it again. Wii Sports style!

I used to collect retro games for around a decade, and do you know what happened? They decompose. The consoles, the games, it eventually degrades, its just nature. Do you know how I can still play all those games and enjoy them... digitally... and yes sometimes its through not so nice methods but if you care so much and are so angry at companies for choosing to do key-cards for example, why would you be opposed to community backups. EVERYTHING DECAYS, NOTHING IS PERMANENT, INCLUDING YOUR SWITCH 1 CARTS! Digital persists as long as there are people who care about it, and if there isn't.. well.. then no one cares anyway.

Well to be honest I find customer service absolutely useless anyway these days at least in Europe. It used to be good a decade ago. Recently I asked if Mario Galaxy 1+2 would output 120 FPS on Switch 2 since there were ambiguous reports. The reply was the Switch 2 is only able to export 60 FPS according to console specifications. So they literally havnt got a clue what they are doing and are useless in my own experience. Replacing useless with useless.

This is exactly why you get a secondary residency property in Japan!

This list is ridiculous... Please make the list based on professional reviewers from nintendolife... Noone needs to see skewed results because people don't like gamekey cards or the price of a game. Mario Party at low 40s... Come on... The mouse mode minigames alone are better than some of the other games.

The post kind of has no point if it's not nintendolife reviewers opinions because we can go metacritic or the comment section to see what people think about a game they don't own...

@martynstuff This needs a dedicated post itself!!!

game plan: take out switch 2, apply screen protector, download mario kart, while waiting change settings, when finished, download this game, play mario kart all day, at night take it easy and play this game

I literally thought Nintendo actually wanted people to take the videos and post them to news websites... It felt intentional because they could control the drip-feed of news until release on media sites... Weird. For me I personally don't mind though because when I saw the news on a site before I saw on the app, it ruined the surprise abit for me

I only use Nintendo systems so I will be staying at home

I was actually at CES this year and saw all the booths but I didnt see them? I heard the news and kept an eye out but didnt actually see them there in person...

@MJF agreed... I miss the original splatoon.

NEWS JUST IN A YEAR IS A YEAR - DOUG BOWSER 2025

@Dr_Lugae Reggie never claimed a year is a year

@progx how does someone buying a switch 2 and it's games related to if they agree with me or not that Bowser is not as good as Reggie? I am buying Switch 2 and will buy welcome tour but it's not because I like Bowser?

Since Bowser became head of Nintendo America we havnt heard much from him until the Switch 2 launch... And... Wow yer... Extremely unimpressed.

Failure to make Welcome Tour a free game like Wii Sports, failure to keep reasonable prices for Switch 2 games (game prices in Japan havnt not increased significantly), saying random nonsense like we believe a year is a year?????

Compared to Reggie this guy is absolutely useless and does not represent the fun, bold Nintendo that Reggie did. He is corporate as can be and the only thing Nintendo about him is his last name.

Thoroughly unimpressed with no comparison to Reggie. I would much rather he said nothing, he shouldn't be doing interviews because he is just making him self look like a fool. With a name like BOWSER there was so much potential.

The new head of Nintendo Japan clearly understood he doesn't have the charisma of Iwata and stayed away from the camera and interviews except for mandatory investor meetings, and has left engagement to other staff.

Seriously... A YEAR IS A YEAR!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!

@Tantani Perhaps I underestimated the store but anyway it is similar to the Korean one so it cannot be described as the first in 14 years. I found this video of it quickly on youtube. Again it sells more than switch and games but the focus is that. https://youtu.be/ion74ZHiFho

This is wrong. 1. The size of this shop suggests it will not be like the shop in New York (see point 2) 2. There is already an official Nintendo shop in Korea (Yongsan, Seoul) that mainly sells Switchs and games, but some other stuff too. This opened last year I think. I guess the Isreal store will be similar to this, focussing mainly on selling Switchs and games and not providing the range of goods that the New York store does.
I suggest changing the title and subtitle to prevent spreading of misinformation.

I like the hidden 2nd image, nice touch Darren

How do you take your skyrim?
"On skyrim"

1/10 - too much skyrim - IGN

I think anyone would be impressed if you could play skyrim on skyrim

@Damo @FlashmanHarry Thank you for the clarification

Im confused where the release of october-november this year comes from. The quote from the analyst says that they expect the console to release in 17/3, i.e March 2017.
