It was pretty good (apart from Mario Kart World's price tag). Hades 2, DK, Yakuza 0, and Hitman got me interested, ESPECIALLY Hades 2 and DK. But why can't Ridge Racer come to Switch 1?
Also for those who are worried about Hades 2 being locked onto Switch 2 only, Hades 2 will also come to Nintendo Switch 1 as well as Switch 2. And it is a timed console exclusive like Hades 1.
Won’t preorder until I have read the reviews. Certainly probably won’t get Mario Kart World if that 80 dollar price tag is legit (some said it’s MSRP or something). But if that is formally the price, I’m not buying that game specifically until a sale. Will get Donkey Kong though at least.
Hardware price isn’t the problem for me personally but the game price is. But I’m glad DK is cheaper at least.
@TheExile285 I think pricing for games is gonna depend on Nintendo.
Not every game is gonna be 80 dollars (The new DK is 70), and there might still be 60 dollar games. So I think price is gonna be flexible and dependent on Nintendo for the most part.
Definitely hyped up for this. But why not release it on Switch 1 too because it looks graphically similar to Hades 1 and Hades 1 ran just well on Switch 1?
It was pretty good ngl. Although I think what is more concerning is the pricing of the games though. Hearing it will be priced 80 dollars for Mario Kart World at least.
That is actually kinda cool though not gonna lie. But my main question is if this is ONLY for Nintendo games or could this apply to indies and 3rd party games too? It seems its only for Nintendo games which is fine I guess.
Looking forward to this update though nonetheless!!!
@bransby same and thankfully it’s not today since I have an entomology test today. I’m glad it’s tomorrow but I gotta wake up early again since I’m all the way at the West Coast.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Is Getting A Free Performance Upgrade On Switch 2
Much need, let’s be honest.
Re: Hades 2 Hacking & Slashing Its Way To Switch 2
Yup, Hades 2 is console exclusive to Switch 1/2

Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
Well there is always Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a backup (and cheaper option)
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade Is Making The Leap To Switch 2
@Serpenterror Probably the exclusivity deal with Sony and what not.
But hey, its better than Xbox. They aren't getting it at all (for now).
Re: Hades 2 Hacking & Slashing Its Way To Switch 2
@Anakin I have Hades 1 physically on my Switch currently. I think I can use my physical Switch 1 copies on Switch 2 I think.
Re: Hades 2 Hacking & Slashing Its Way To Switch 2
@Smitty2017 FR?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Edit: YUP IT IS COMING TO SWITCH 1. HYPE.
https://x.com/SupergiantGames/status/1907434029671911577
Also is this also timed console exclusive at launch?
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
@tektite_captain If that is true, then I am less angry now. Still mad but less mad.
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
The bundle is much cheaper at this point so yeah.
Wait, its cheaper digitally? I assume this is with the bundle but what about like on the Eshop? Will that be cheaper or still 80?
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
@Ryu_Niiyama MK World is 80 dollars on the other hand.
Re: Which Nintendo Switch Games Aren't Fully Compatible With Switch 2?
@DaniPooo At least they are investigating it and fixing it so it will work at least.
Re: Which Nintendo Switch Games Aren't Fully Compatible With Switch 2?
You can still use the original Switch joycons for the Switch 2 btw so that isn't TOO MUCH of a problem.
Also why Alien Isolation is up there? Is there something wrong with it?
Nvm found it.
Re: Check Out Donkey Kong Bananza's Beautiful Switch 2 Box Art
@Patendo Yeah its 80 dollars for MK World in the US.
70 dollars for DK.
Glad Nintendo is being flexible on the pricing and what not but still, 80 is a bit too steep. At least make that one 70 too lol.
But since inflation is a thing, guess we can't be surprised anymore.
Re: Hades 2 Hacking & Slashing Its Way To Switch 2
@Anakin I guess so yeah. Still hoping this one makes to Switch 1 though.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
Can we all talk about Mario Kart World being 80 dollars now?
Re: Hades 2 Hacking & Slashing Its Way To Switch 2
Definitely hyped up for this. But why not release it on Switch 1 too because it looks graphically similar to Hades 1 and Hades 1 ran just well on Switch 1?
Nonetheless, I AM EXCITED FOR THIS. RAHHHHHHH!!!!
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade Is Making The Leap To Switch 2
PureXbox is crying right now over this btw.
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2025/04/nintendo-just-broke-our-hearts-with-todays-final-fantasy-7-annoucement
Just look at that headline.
Re: Yakuza 0: Director's Cut Is Exclusive To Nintendo Switch 2
Damn I might get this tbh. I was waiting for it.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
It was pretty good ngl. Although I think what is more concerning is the pricing of the games though. Hearing it will be priced 80 dollars for Mario Kart World at least.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Is Coming To Switch 2
This will be interesting to see how it runs.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
449 is not really that bad. Better than competition I bit at least. But yeah kinda expected.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Launch On Switch 2 In 2025
Well its something at least.
Re: The Switch 2's Screen Isn't OLED, But It Will Support 1080p/120fps Gameplay
Does it have analogue triggers or still digital? Because it looks like analogue from the trailer but thats just me
Re: Fromsoftware's The Duskbloods Looks Like Bloodborne 2, Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026
@Axecon WE GOT HADES 2 AS WELL.
HYPE!!!!
Re: Fromsoftware's The Duskbloods Looks Like Bloodborne 2, Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026
Is Duskbloods gonna be published by Nintendo? If so, thats great. I MIGHT BE TEMPTED FOR THIS SOULS GAME NGL.
Re: James Bond Will Return To Nintendo Switch 2, IO Interactive Confirms

Re: Drag x Drive Puts The Rocket League Into Wheelchair Basketball

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate 'Balance Of Power' Update Now Live
@roy130390 is the performance on Switch better now? Did it get patched? I have been waiting for a Hades roguelike for a while until Hades 2 comes.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
We literally just got the new Rhythm Heaven already so yeah.
Personally I’m hoping for the next 3D Mario, Mario Kart 9, and Hades 2
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?
It was not that bad so a 6 for me. Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Rhythm Heaven, and Tomodaichi Life were the ones I was interested in most.
Re: Rhythm Heaven Groove Announced For Switch, Launching 2026
And they say Nintendo forgets dorment franchises...
Anyway, this looks amazing. I hope it ain't 60 dollars though. But it might be 60 anyway.
Re: Marvel Gets The Shredder's Revenge Treatment In Upcoming Beat 'Em Up 'Cosmic Invasion'
This looks great. I might get it if it runs well. But I wonder what other many more heroes are playable as well.
Re: A New Tomodachi Life Game Is Coming To Switch Next Year
The amount of people asking for this is insane. Glad to see it though.
Re: Nintendo Announces 'Virtual Game Cards' For Switch, Unlocking Digital Lending
@Serpenterror I think in the direct they said it applies to Switch 2 as well but I am not sure 100%.
Re: Nintendo Announces 'Virtual Game Cards' For Switch, Unlocking Digital Lending
That is actually kinda cool though not gonna lie. But my main question is if this is ONLY for Nintendo games or could this apply to indies and 3rd party games too? It seems its only for Nintendo games which is fine I guess.
Looking forward to this update though nonetheless!!!
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
I actually think we might see Plants vs Zombies reloaded
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
Nothing much really. Maybe Metroid Prime 2 and 3 remasters. But thats all I expect. I really don’t know what else.
Edit: I think that PVZ game that got rated a few days ago “Plants vz Zombies Reloaded” will appear
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
@masterLEON I suppose so but still.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
Nintendo, why do you hate us folks living in the West Coast 😭😭😭

Re: 'Persona 4 Reload' Seems Imminent, But We Still Need The Third Entry
@batmanbud2 Idk about visual wise (it looked fine to me) but yeah it did get flack for less content compared to Portable.
Re: Plants vs. Zombies Looks Set To Be Revived And 'Reloaded' On Switch
@Joeynator3000 this is probably a remastered version of the original game I bet.
