Anyone in Germany gotten an invite? I would qualify easily and got nothing... Pre-ordered Switch 2 with MKW at Media Markt and Amazon just in case, but really would've loved the GC Controller directly from Nintendo.
2025 really starts like a banger 😔 the states got the worst president ever again and one of my most anticipated games just flat out canceled. If Silksong and Mina the Hollower will be canceled as well, I'm going to hang myself. Hyperbole, but not really.
I don't want a Unreal 5 Dark Zelda and so shouldn't you. Waiting 10 years for a Twilight Princess-esque game where I can count every single strain of hair on Epona is the most boring outcome we could ever become.
Where's Mina y'all?!
Cannot wait for that little Mouse.
I gladly Kickstarted it after missing out on Shovel Knight and being blasted away by that pearl of a game!

You don't have to, but why shouldn't you?
It sets the stage for the others that follow and has its own physics and the plot starts right there.
Also the most balanced in terms of jump and logic in the platforming, if that makes any sense.
I'm at the End and it is as spectacular as the review suggests. The feel of wonder and bewilderment is second to none and the atmosphere pulls you right in. If you like Plattform driven Metroidvanias this is the one you've been missing all your life. The only downside is, as in the review mentioned as well, the teeny-tiny-map that could really use one more blow up and that the physical release is handled by LRG. Anything but them and I would have bought a regular and a collector's edition, just to support the developer and I cannot wait what they'll do next.
Unfortunately I'm not female enough for that awesome Wind Waker Stain Glass Dress... Women keep on winning. The stuff for men doesn't look as good, but then again, they never do. Why do we have to be so fugly? I hate nature and myself even more!
I don't get it. MS has no games, yet they throw out all their workforce to build said games... Truly baffling after all these acquisitions. At least try to steer the ship with a plethora of innovative concepts and put them into game pass, to make it more of a must have.
For some small indie titles, third-party mass ware and the few MS-Exclusives (that barely are of any interest to me) I wouldn't get the service. But a vast exclusive library would make me even consider buying an Xbox.
I bought the Xone and played exactly two games on it. Ori and Ori 2 and that is also the reason why I didn't invest into XseriesX because I don't get a boner for Halo or Forza or GoW. Less Dude-Bro gaming, more colorful concepts full of quirk and wonder please.
@JohnnyC
PS Plus is not the same as GamePass, not even close.
If there would be day one Playstation Exclusives on PS Plus, I'd get it immediately.
@SpaceboyScreams @KoopaTheGamer Sounds very much like very individual setups with the smaller Switch, which are meant to be used with the regular Switch.
@KoopaTheGamer Kickstand would make no sense, since it's a single player device meant to be held throughout the playtime. At which point would you need the Stand even? Watching a Cutscene maybe? There's no Netflix or any other app that would warrant a kickstand.
The interesting aspect is to have the smaller Switch with a better Screen and a fully fledged D-Pad on top of it. Of course it is easier to buy an OLED Switch, but that isn't what the consumer of this product is searching for.
Sadly it's a Ubisoft Game and I cannot support them anymore. My heart bled already, because I had to skip Mario & Rabbids 2, but as long as misogyny and harassment is supported and celebrated in that firm, I will not give them a cent! And Metroidvanias are some of my favorite Games of all-time...
1. Metroid Prime 4 2. Silksong 3. Mina the Hollower 4. Paper Mario TTYD 5. Unicorn Overlord 6. Laika 7. Metal Slug Tactics 8. Decapolice 9. The Plucky Squire Those are just the ones on this list that are highly awaited from me. Sounds like we're feasting next year once again. Crazy, if you consider this to be the twilight years from a seven year old console!
It would be nice, if NL would do a poll, to ask who's still using their Online Features on those two Systems. I bet it's not even 3% of this Hardcore Nintendo Community... And even less so with other demographic. Everything has to come to an end and I think that Nintendo went above and beyond to provide servers, especially for WiiU.
Yeah, all of these look like legit Pokemon Fans. Just kidding. The way they pull that stuff out without even seeing it is a pretty obvious indicator, that most of them aren't buying for them or their loved ones.

"Here is another really fun thing to do to prove to yourself how much you have detached yourself from reality. Google the highest rated game publisher by meta-critic. This is just average opinion of every game they publish, divided by number of titles, counting all titles they directly develop and publish as well as all games from owned studios."
And how many games did MS release each year? How many did Sony? And how many did Nintendo release?! Exactly. That is the difference my "friend". An average game does put a dent into such a calculation. But I know that you knew that already, didn't you? You're just trolling until the end of times it seems.
Also, a Japanese Stock firm is very much different to an American. Nintendo cut their higher ups earnings, if the overall numbers don't crunch, they pay 10% more salary to their workers without any strikes of a union to get the ball moving and they didn't ask the Shareholders before, if that was a good idea or not. Also, they don't publish a game if it isn't finished or crunch their people to death. I hear that MS is better in that regard as Activision, but still not on the same level for some care of their workforce. Bobby Kotick earned 100 Million while 800 staffers were laid off. And that at times when they made serious bank. What would happen in those conglomerates if they had a WiiU-sized flop? You know it, I know it. But keep supporting those wonderful American Values these companies put up.
That is why I'm totally on board with MS buying the horrible ACT/BLI and Bethesda but they should never neuter the independence of Nintendo!
Also, your claims that Sony has more first party studios might be right, but not in terms of Workforce, when you calculate all the staffer under the MS-Games-Divison-Umbrella.
