Holy heck. I did not expect this to be getting 9s and 10s reviews elsewhere. I might get it down the line when it's cheaper (around 50 bucks or less).

Also I don't mind this on GKC. It's a game that continues to be updated, right?

@Anti-Matter
So you're finally getting a Switch 2 in 2027? 😉

My Generations Pack will arrive tomorrow, a day earlier. 😜 Not sure if I can download and play it earlier.

@Olliemar28
What about gyro aiming and mouse mode?

Same. My kids and I played NSBU and 3DWorld to death but Wonder didn't hold our interests/attention for long. But I'll still get the Switch 2 physical edition when it's 50 bucks.

Just like many Switch 2 editions I already have, I'll wait until I can get it for 50 bucks or less and get rid of my Switch 1 edition for 30-40.

I'm not really a fan of Capcom-made amiibos. They look cheap. I skipped the MH ones. I might skip this as well unless I can get them cheaper (less than 20 bucks).

@TheRazor
I think you're right. I've watched in my phone earlier. Now I just watched in an OLED TV and it's almost the same as Fallout 4 and ES4 in terms of animations but has only better scenery.

I lost my Switch 1 physical copy. I might get this one if it gets released physically in non-GKC cartridge. Else I'll just go digital when it's 50% off and never lose it again.

How is this better looking than Fallout 4 and Oblivion? 😅

I'll check the prices and graphical differences between NS1 and NS2 versions if it's worth going NS2 this time.

But I got DQ 1&2 on Switch 1 because of DQ 3 being on Switch 1 and is on cartridge.

I was tempted to get one set. But I skimmed through the games list and only found BotW and TotK to be worth it. Everything else I want, I got them cheaper physical versions. Also I already got both Zelda games on Switch 1 and on Switch 2 so I don't really need them digitally.

I'll surely buy this on Game Key Card. Less hassle lending it to my kids later on than getting it digitally. I'm glad this is a good port.

@Axecon
What I understood in the previous article, Furukawa said they are monitoring the situation and theey don't want to increase the price as much as possible because they don't want to "derail" the launch momentum.

I think we may get a price increase on the next revision or after the console hits 1 year.

Way better than Disney+. Remember when Disney+ was 60 annually? It became 120 in like 3 years. LOL. Not sure if it's 150 already.

Hot dang! I'll watch anything Tomb Raider, but I hope this is good. Like Fallout before it.

She looks more like Lara Croft than Alicia Vikander and British than Angelina Jolie.

The purple one should have been perfect for Metroid Prime 4 limited edition Switch 2.

Why are some upset if they're not gonna buy it it anyway. If you wanted it, you had half a year to do so. And haters are gonna be upset for others' sake and not for them, lol.

I bought the bundle for 480 so the game is well worth it. MKWorld is something my family will play for the rest of the Switch 2's life cycle. It will be continuously updated, patched, will receive future DLCs, etc. so I might as well get it digitally.

Best thing about the TGA this year! I can't wait! Now we'll see if I'll get it on Switch 2 or PS5 (or PS6!).

@NintendoLife
Noice! I thought we're getting MegaMan Prime (Metroid Prime style) with that intro.

@rjejr
So it's going to be free for those who have the programmable NFC amiibo gadgets? Amiibos at this point are just collectible figurines with bonus in-game unlocks. I don't even use them unless it unlocks permanent costumes.

Disappointed. Won't be getting until there's Splatoon or Metroid-like gyro aiming.

I want them all but I can live without. So I'll just get them when they're 33-50% off.

@jfp
Awesome, thanks!

@Olliemar28
Gyro aiming?

Please tell me there's gyro aiming.

It's on my "I'll buy it when I can get it for less than 50, physical copy" list.

@Filthy
Thank you, USB-C headsets/headphones don't work. So I really need to look for those old 3.5mm jack headsets. 😅

@Filthy
Didn't know either as I'm still waiting for a limited edition Switch 2 pro controller to buy one. Thanks. I need to look for those 3.5mm jack I put away somewhere long ago.

Do USB-C headsets/headphones work too?

It's teased in the post credit credits scene of the first movie so I'm not really surprised. And the design is @Yosher -approved so it shouldn't be a concern. 😅

They crammed too many things in the first movie though with very little characters buildup or growth so I'm worried they will make the same mistake again on the sequel.

Galaxy is too soon imo it should be on the 4th movie. I wish the first movie is on "Mario Land" at first. Expand with the koopalings and more characters in the mushroom Kingdom on the second movie. Then with DK characters, Daisy, Wario Waluigi, Pauline, and more in the Mario World on the third movie with all the Mario Karting.

@JaxonH has been summoned.

Congratulations NLife on the 20th anniversary! 12th year for me in here!

I've been lurking since 2013 under another account when I was deciding to go back again to console gaming. I've played G&W, FamiCom, MegaDrive, SNES, GameBoy, & PS1 during the 80s & 90s before going full PC in my college days.

I eventually got the Wii U on November 2013 over the then releasing PS4 thanks to infos from you NL and from your sister sites PS & PX. The gyro aiming (I'm bad with analog sticks), my first born old enough to hold a controller, and the Nintendo catalog were the deciding factors for me to get the Wii U. Here's to more years together! 😁

I just want to see Link do shield surfing longer and better than Legolas did in LotR.

Great! There was a bug on my ARMS play activity since I sent one of my 2017 Switch console which had a blue screen for repairs. When I migrated to a new console, the "time played" remained 50+ hours and it has never changed since then. Glad to see the comprehensive stats in the new app.

@OorWullie
Wait for Switch 3 Welcome Tour 2 in 2031! 😂

@Olliemar28
Is Nintendo counting physical versions of Nintendo Switch 2 edition games (like BotW & TotK) as Switch 1 software sales then since "it contains Switch 1 game with upgrade pack" on every box?

@gcunit
Please don't. I'm already waiting for that Hyrule Switch Lite price to drop and get one. I don't need a reason to buy another Switch after that. Make it a Metroid themed Switch 2 instead. 😁

@LazyDaisy
I'm with you. I didn't like MKWorld that much compared to how much I loved MK8 on the WiiU/Switch. I hope they'll add more contents soon. I wish they made the free roaming mode a bit more exciting like an adventure mode where there are giant bosses and its minions with HPs where you attack them with power ups and shells (coop with other players) and get loots after like costumes, skins or decals for your chars and vehicles. Kinda like a raid.

For Kirby Air Riders, I fully didn't expect that. I was like "what the heck, another racing game in less than 6 months!". As for the spinoff Splatoon Raiders, they need to get it out before Splatoon 4 comes out.

@OorWullie @UltimateOtaku91
PS5 and XBSX came out after the successes of PS4 and XBOne while Switch 1 came out after the failures of the Wii U. I guess it was expected that PS5/XBSX have weak first years of exclusives while Switch 1 came out strong right out of the gate.

Switch 2 doesn't need it now in it's first year imo. Mario Kart World will carry it until another big 2nd half of 2026 exclusive or two (1 from Nintendo and 1 mainline Pokemon)

@LazyDaisy
We don't know second half of 2026 yet. But i expect Nintendo to go full Switch 2 by 2027. I think we will see more remasters and Nintendo Switch 2 editions next year like Smash with updated graphics and probably new fighters. Then throw a few but big Switch 2 exclusives late next year to keep the momentum.

I think that's okay as they are still transitioning to the Switch 2. Nintendo should be ready with a barrage of Switch 2 exclusives when the PS6 starts looming by 2027-2028.

I said I'm gonna collect all Switch 2 pro controllers like I did on the Switch 1 pros, but I might cancel this one. I still ordered but will cancel 2 weeks before release if I won't change my mind by then.

@FullMetalWesker
It's simple really that I struggle to understand why you don't. Nathan Lockard is a big and passionate Nintendo fan who dreamt of working for Nintendo when he was a kid/teen. Probably making his own drawings.

Then he got to work/intern for the magazine, saw some very cool fan arts/mails. Instead of throwing it away as per company mandate (they can't keep them forever for storage/usefulness reasons), he kept them as his collection because he's a Nintendo fan like them.

Years more later, some successful artists or writers became prominent/successful (like Naomi judging by the write-up) and Nathan remembered the drawings he kept and he tried to return them to her. Then it had a ripple effect to him and started returning most of them to their respective owners. In return he received some some cool arts as well.

It's just an awesome and heartwarming story about Nintendo fans (especially for us from the 80s and the 90s) seeing them reconnect again some 30 or so years later by pieces of artworks.

@dennabeht
You have to be that one huh. But did you really expect any company would keep all fan arts or any fan mails around forever when you know many more will come? I think this is industry standard.

It's a great article. Let's celebrate and just leave it like that.

I mean Nintendo was desperate to take down Palworld. Heh

@Fighting_Game_Loser
Best thing Nintendo can offer is a Korok or a Korok Leaf. Lol

@nessisonett
I don't think they'll release a new AC game in the first 2 years of Switch 2. They'll be working for backwards compatibility and enhancements first then release some Switch 2 exclusives to keep the sales momentum. I expect Smash Bros Switch 2 edition next.

I think Nintendo will go full Switch 2 exclusives when PS6 releases some time in 2027 if the rumors are true.

@rjejr
This is the real question. Does the Switch 2 Edition contains the 3.0 update? How big it is and how much storage does it save you from getting the physical edition?

As for the DLC, I think it's the same as BotW Switch 2 edition where the DLC isn't included. But the AC:NH DLC expansion is free for those NSO (premium only iirc) subscribers.

Oooh.. I was hoping for a Metroid or Mario 40th -themed Switch 2 Pro controller. I didn't expect Resident Evil would be the first. I'll try to get them all like I did on all special edition Switch 1 pro controllers.

It's in my "when it it goes on sale for less than 30 bucks" list.

Sarah Bond and Xbox is just saying this because they're going multiplatform to maximize profits. We know Xbox is failing so I can understand their stance. Good for Sony I guess. But it's also good I get to play XBox exclusives from now on since I refuse to buy another console beyond Nintendo and Playstation or PC.

The media and content creators are just making a fuzz about it to trigger fanboys (who are easily manipulated) and generate clicks.
