If Square Enix was smart, they'd put the Octopath Trilogy on one game card for Switch 2 and sell that. That way, we get the complete package on physical, and they can justify paying for 64 GB Switch 2 cards.
I just recently dove back in to Tears of the Kingdom so I could find and finish all the shrines, do the side adventures, and upgrade all of my clothes. Loving all of the improvements so far.
I'm actually playing through DQ3 on my Switch 2 for the first time. I'm really enjoying it. I waited for a physical sale to get this, so I'll probably do the same for the 1 and 2 games.
For a game that was championed as being "inclusive" with representing the wheelchair community, it sure isn't being inclusive with local multiplayer options.
I'm loving mine so far. Sucks for all the people who waited in long lines today or last night to pick their's up. I walked right in to my local Walmart around 6:30 pm today and picked mine up with no line and no issue. Quite easy. 😁

Re: Octopath 0 Is A Game-Key Card On Switch 2, And Square Enix Has "No Plans" For A Switch 1 Upgrade Option

Re: Square Enix Rules Out Switch 2 "Upgrade Path" For Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake
I'm actually playing through DQ3 on my Switch 2 for the first time. I'm really enjoying it. I waited for a physical sale to get this, so I'll probably do the same for the 1 and 2 games.
Re: Opinion: Honestly, I'm So Glad We Had To Wait For Donkey Kong Bananza
Okay, NintendoLife. Give us the DKB review already. Sheesh!

I'm just waiting for the review embargo to drop.

Loving the game so far. Glad they made those changes.
Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Drag x Drive' Won't Include Local Multiplayer Support
For a game that was championed as being "inclusive" with representing the wheelchair community, it sure isn't being inclusive with local multiplayer options.
Re: Video: Check Out Donkey Kong Bananza's Layered Worlds & Things You Probably Missed In Our Detail-Packed Breakdown

Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"

Re: Mini Review: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Fantastic Little Upgrade
It's a 10 out of 10 for me. Loving it so far!
Re: Best Rune Factory Games Of All Time
Rune Factory 3 and 4 Special should be ahead of their DS and 3DS counterparts since they both have HD graphics.
Re: PSA: Splatoon 3 On Switch Has Made Some Cuts To Keep Pace With Switch 2
Loving my upgraded Splatoon 3 experience on Switch 2 so far. Urchin Underpass brings back a wave of nostalgia from 2015.
Re: Feature: 11 Games With 'Secret' Performance Bumps You Should Revisit On Switch 2
The lack of XCX DE on this list is astonishing. It runs so good on Switch 2 now.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Switch 2's Screen? Because Some People Certainly Aren't
There should be an option for "Love it and never had an OLED, so I'm not missing anything."
Re: Splatoon 3 To Get Free Switch 2 Update Later This Week
@1UP-HUSKY Yeah. That was a bad mistake. Never assume anything with Nintendo.
Re: Splatoon Raiders, A New Splatoon Spin-Off, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
Yes! Yes! Yes! So ready to get my hands on the new weapons and kits and return to Urchin Underpass. Really loved that stage in Splatoon 1.
Re: Xbox Officially Enters The Handheld Space, But Nintendo Won't Be Worried
Those are some beefy specs.
Re: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Mario Kart World Tech Review - "Nintendo's Artistry Stands Out The Most Here"
I'm sure "free" DLC and expansions will accompany this game for the Switch 2's lifespan. It really is the perfect game to launch with.

Just picked this up at Walmart with my Switch 2 and ready to dive in. 😁
Re: PSA: Got A Switch 2 Pro Controller? This Little Capture Trick Is A Game-Changer
I've been using my original Switch Pro Controller, and I haven't had any issues with it so far. Is there really any point in getting the 2 version?
Re: Video: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Side-By-Side Gameplay Comparison (Switch & Switch 2)
It's a shame no one is talking about XCX DE on here. That game is running buttery smooth on my Switch 2. Looks like 60 fps.
Re: Hardware Review (In Progress): Nintendo Switch 2 - A Faster, Slicker, Sexier Switch
I'm loving mine so far. Sucks for all the people who waited in long lines today or last night to pick their's up. I walked right in to my local Walmart around 6:30 pm today and picked mine up with no line and no issue. Quite easy. 😁
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom And Link's Awakening Are Improved On Switch 2, But It's Not Perfect
I had no issues with Echoes of Wisdom on the original Switch, so whatever improvements are made on Switch 2 are just icing on the cake.
Re: No Man's Sky Is Landing A Free Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Update On Launch Day
No Man's Sky really is the gift that keeps on giving.
Re: Review: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time (Switch) - Level-5's Triumphant Sequel Trades Depth For Breadth
What does depth even mean? It's not like the first game had some major deep plot. This new game is better in every aspect.
Re: Review: Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma (Switch) - A Bold Reinvention That Pays Off
Adding this to the Wishlist
Re: Opinion: Splatoon Brought Me Back To Online Multiplayer, But Octo Valley Shines Brightest
The final boss of Splatoon 1's single player campaign remains as the best and toughest final boss fight of any Splatoon game.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Secures Switch & Switch 2 Release Date
Yep. I'll be getting the Switch 1 version and upgrade pack separately. That Switch 2 box art is horrible.
Re: Nintendo Music Celebrates 10 Years Of Splatoon, Here's Every Song Included
That Global Testfire in 2015 was the best. After that, I instantly fell in love with this franchise.
Re: Opinion: Upgraded For Switch 2, ARMS Deserves A Second Shot At Greatness
This is one I'd gladly pay for a Switch 2 upgrade if they added a single player campaign mode to it.

Re: Mario-Inspired 2D Platformer Secures A Switch 2 Release On Kickstarter
Art style looks more like Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island to me.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Are In
I won't even touch the multi-player aspect of the game, since I only play single player games. So that's a non-issue for me.
Re: Switch 2's HD Rumble Is Seemingly Capable Of Some Impressive Sound Output
I'm sure Nintendo Life has received their review copy of the Switch 2, and they are trying out all the bells and whistles of the controllers.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th May (North America)
Just Fantasy Life i for me.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?
Actually been playing a lot more since XCX DE released. I'll probably ghost my Switch 1 after doing a system transfer to Switch 2.
Re: Feature: "It's Like On Steroids Versus Our Previous Titles" - How 'Terminator 2D: No Fate' Changes The Past & Future
