I picked up a pretty swanky stainless steel Metroid drink tumbler in the NYC Nintendo store last week and am Pretty Happy About That! (Oh, it's the same one seen on the JP site! Get yours today!)
(there's actually a whole corner of Metroid merch there so if you can hit it up!)
One other thing I hope they take the time to fix/adjust: the rumble effect kinda blows, it just gives a big BRRWWWW like a second after you get hit and it's SO annoying, had to turn it off. No subtlety, and it's the only rumble effect. They could have SO much fun with HD rumble effects and keep it interesting.
Unlocking a hard mode seems like something only arcade games should have... If I'm at home, just give me all the options. I'm fitting any playtime around a million other things.
It's almost like NL could and should incorporate some kind of smarter weighted ranking system that isn't something out of 1987. "Oh, a game has only one vote and it's a 10? It's the best game on this list, says us!"

Finally gave into buying a 512GB ESD card so I don't have to bother with fiddling with a wee gamecard everytime I want to play it.

@Lord I've got those, and they are quite cool!
Re: Hands On: Espresso Pro 15 - A Portable 4K Monitor For Switch 2, But With A Catch
Just reading the section about the USB cables made my brain shut right off.
Re: After Years Of Waiting, Metroid Prime 4's Launch Trailer Is Finally Here
Did NOT expect them to reveal in the trailer that Samus is actually a stack of three raccoons inside that suit.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond: Walkthrough, All Collectibles, Tips & Tricks
@HammerGalladeBro Yes, her mask comes off to reveal that Samus was actually the friends we made along the way.

That Switch2 version is so crisp! 👌
Re: Mini Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch 1) - An Impressive Version If You've Yet To Upgrade
@DennyCrane it was a comment made in (semi)jest! 😄
Re: Mini Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch 1) - An Impressive Version If You've Yet To Upgrade
If they had just made MP4 a Switch 2 exclusive there wouldn't be any of this confusion 😏
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.4.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@StampGuy Often I think how much easier things would be to grab if I could just get out of the cart 😄

Re: Review: Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Switch) - Up There With Best-Ever Arcade Marvel Games
Ooh, an update patch already for... something! 😄
Re: Review: Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Switch) - Up There With Best-Ever Arcade Marvel Games
I was thinking the same same thing, if I had done that gorgeous animation, I'd be so upset with how bad and compressed and blocky it looked!

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
I never finish games anyway so a bad ending is not exactly a pressing 'con' 😄
Re: Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Switch 2) - Samus Returns In Prime Form
Stupid amiibo unlocks :/
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Credits Reveal A Plethora Of Assist Devs, Including Next Level Games
Wonder why they didn't stay with Hale, it's not like this game was rushed out (nor is Samus exactly prone to monologue...)
Re: UK Charts: Kirby Is Nowhere To Be Seen In A Quiet Week
KAR is just too expensive! 🥺
Re: Review: Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Switch) - Up There With Best-Ever Arcade Marvel Games
Woof, they used the worst possible compression setting for that opening animation... That looked awful! 🥺
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For December & January 2026
@Grumblevolcano at no point does it say boxed or physical only in the opening paragraphs.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For December & January 2026
Where's Marvel Cosmic Invasion...? 🧐

It's almost like NL could and should incorporate some kind of smarter weighted ranking system that isn't something out of 1987. "Oh, a game has only one vote and it's a 10? It's the best game on this list, says us!"
Re: Best Tomb Raider Games, Ranked - Lara Croft On Switch & Nintendo Systems
#1 game on the list: "we would not want to replay it" 😆
Re: Nintendo Debuts Two Metroid Prime 4 Ads As Eight-Year Wait Nears Its End
Long-term FPS mouse-mode looks like it would be hell on a hand. :/
Re: Nintendo Debuts Two Metroid Prime 4 Ads As Eight-Year Wait Nears Its End
Instead of the industry standard "start to crate" metric, Metroid Prime 4 will be rated instead on "start to he's-right-behind-me-isn't-he?"
Re: Video: We've Played Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition On Switch 2 - Here's 18 Minutes Of Gameplay
Aspyr has patched the heck out of the OG Tomb Raider games after release, I fully expect the same to happen with this one...
Re: Mini Review: Arcade Archives 2 TOKYO WARS (Switch 2) - Another Polished But Wafer Thin Hamster Port
These are way too expensive.
(coming from someone whose first three lines of Switch game icons are various Arcade Archives )
Re: Surprise! Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Is Available Now On Switch & Switch 2
@Flugen At this point, yes! (assuming you want the Switch2 version, as the S2 will still play the S1 version of the game) There is no upgrade path.
Re: Surprise! Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Is Available Now On Switch & Switch 2
I love seeing the division between people who think it looks incredible and those who think it looks like trash xD
Re: Review: Kirby Air Riders (Switch 2) - Incredibly Chaotic, But Satisfyingly Deep & Rewarding Racing
This does look very fun, but not for present day full price! 🤪
Re: Review: Kirby Air Riders (Switch 2) - Incredibly Chaotic, But Satisfyingly Deep & Rewarding Racing
Also what the loving heck is a 'marmite racer' ? 😆
Re: Surprise! Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Is Available Now On Switch & Switch 2
This is Aspyr... There will be patches! 😄
Re: Animated Tomb Raider Series Returns To Netflix For A Second Season Next Month

Re: Surprise! Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Is Available Now On Switch & Switch 2
@Elektrogeist1287 well I'm at work not with my switch and nothing was showing up on the Nintendo site, eShop app, or deku

Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
@Radbot42 you need better ad blockers!
Re: Nintendo Had No "Intention To Hinder Or Invalidate" Third-Party Docks For Switch 2
Honestly don't know, what are the advantages of a third party dock?
Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
@countzero I mean, I don't know, technically? But I'd be really really surprised if they did scoot another Metroid game between 3 and 4, though.
Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
@Yel333 Never played Other M! 😄 Good to know!
Also, sarcastic kinda yes, but I really don't think he liked that character, period.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets The Trailer We've Been Waiting For
@shock_trooper I'm still reeling at the ability to open doors in New and Exciting ways! 😱
Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
@batmanbud2 Yeah, Samus hasn't even met that baby Metroid yet, I think people forget how early this series takes place.

Peach and Rosalina look identical
