Yeah. Sucks that we all had to act surprised when the Switch 2 was officially revealed. Our hype was deflated during the reveal trailer because we already knew everything.
This article is just an excuse to feature this game on this website. Apparently, I was living under a rock because I had no idea this game existed pre-release; now everyone is talking about it. That could be due to me only owning a Switch and PS4.
It's funny how there was a Katana Zero DLC article on here recently, and I put it on my Wishlist instantly. A week later, it goes on sale. It's like the universe was listening to me and telling me to get this game.
Since most of us have already purchased the DLC for the Switch 1 version, it's a non-issue for us when we transfer the game and save data to Switch 2 and purchase the $10 upgrade pack.
It's dumb to think the Switch 2 version would include the DLC since it's not advertised as a Deluxe version.
Glad the Wish List is more easily accessible. Hopefully, when you enter the eShop for the very first time, it will ask you which genres and publishers you're most interested in. Then it generates a good list of games for you in the "Game Finds for You" section or generates a list with games similar to games on your Wish List.
@Sonicka Yeah. I had a similar comment about this 5 years ago in this same comment section. Scroll towards the top of the comments. You'll see it. People have a warped sense of what open world means. To be open world, your character must have complete freedom to roam the entire world map at any point in the game.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 does not belong on this list. It is not open world. It has large open areas to explore, but it does not fit the open world definition.
@larryisaman Don't approach the battle system as button mashing and spamming arts. Pay attention your position, Soul Voices, and Art effects. It's a really good battle system if you don't go in expecting an action hack and slash system.

Re: The Company That "Leaked" Switch 2 Is Being Sued By Nintendo
Yeah. Sucks that we all had to act surprised when the Switch 2 was officially revealed. Our hype was deflated during the reveal trailer because we already knew everything.

Re: Opinion: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Best Gameplay Feature Is Straight Out Of Mario's Playbook
This article is just an excuse to feature this game on this website. Apparently, I was living under a rock because I had no idea this game existed pre-release; now everyone is talking about it. That could be due to me only owning a Switch and PS4.

Re: 126 Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's 'Partner Spotlight' eShop Sale (North America)
It's funny how there was a Katana Zero DLC article on here recently, and I put it on my Wishlist instantly. A week later, it goes on sale. It's like the universe was listening to me and telling me to get this game.

Re: Zelda: BOTW Switch 2 Edition Won't Include The DLC, Nintendo Confirms
Since most of us have already purchased the DLC for the Switch 1 version, it's a non-issue for us when we transfer the game and save data to Switch 2 and purchase the $10 upgrade pack.
It's dumb to think the Switch 2 version would include the DLC since it's not advertised as a Deluxe version.

Re: Nintendo Devs Reveal Some Big eShop Improvements On Switch 2
Glad the Wish List is more easily accessible. Hopefully, when you enter the eShop for the very first time, it will ask you which genres and publishers you're most interested in. Then it generates a good list of games for you in the "Game Finds for You" section or generates a list with games similar to games on your Wish List.

"Harvey! I'm Batman!"
Re: Nintendo Drops Teaser Video For The Switch 2's 'C' Button
If the C button really does make it connect to the original Switch, it really is a "Switch Attach" like that old YouTube survey leak suggests.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition?

Why is everyone so shocked? We saw the reports yesterday about the Direct.

You have to be smart with the Vouchers. Pick games that never go on sale and remain $60 all the time.

Really hoping for HD-2D remake of Chrono Trigger!
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Open World Games
@Sonicka Yeah. I had a similar comment about this 5 years ago in this same comment section. Scroll towards the top of the comments. You'll see it. People have a warped sense of what open world means. To be open world, your character must have complete freedom to roam the entire world map at any point in the game.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Open World Games
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 does not belong on this list. It is not open world. It has large open areas to explore, but it does not fit the open world definition.
Re: Round Up: Minecraft Live (March 2025) - Everything Announced
Hopefully this movie is good
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)
@larryisaman Don't approach the battle system as button mashing and spamming arts. Pay attention your position, Soul Voices, and Art effects. It's a really good battle system if you don't go in expecting an action hack and slash system.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)
Just XCX: DE for me this weekend.
