It’s a good one! I played it on PC during its Early Access.

Stop being disappointed by The Pokémon Company, you should know what to expect by now.

I’ll chuck a fiver for mouse mode no problem

You think games run poorly right now, just you wait.

Both games are very good. I wish more gamers cared about indies and smaller titles like these, it’s really where the innovation is in gaming right now.

Mister with original controllers is my go to retro solution

NO COMMENT. I plead the 5th.

I wish it was more of an open ended block game style building system rather than the Animal Crossing/Fantasy Life sort of thing where you just plop down a build kit and a house appears. That I’d play.

I did a full clear of this game shortly after it launched and recently went back and put 40 or so hours into 1.6 and wow, whole new game, I’ve been loving it.

Damn are the preorders down already? I’m on the store and it just shows a release date for the button?

Leaving out the information about the ball by the original reporter was certainly an odd choice

Seems like fairly minor tweaks

Such a shame, I don’t want to play backwards compatible new releases on my new console, I want native versions of games. Nintendo actually encouraging the continuing development of Switch 1 instead of getting dev kits out is WILD to me. Especially since the launch slate might as well have been on Weight Watchers it was so slim.

They had me at M2

@Chocobo_Shepherd it’s tagged opinion, which is exactly what this is, an opinion piece. They’re not putting anything out there that isn’t clearly labelled.

I’m the target audience for this kind of crap, weird Nintendo is what it’s all about.

To me they feel radically different, different genres entirely. Both are excellent at what they do.

Pretty dismal so far in my opinion. Zero interest for another Nintendo racer right now. I feel like people have rose coloured glasses on for that one, the original wasn’t awesome.

I hope Switch 2 has a quicker start than PS5 did, it’s not looking great so far.

The bc layer isn’t good enough and I’ll only be using it if I have no other options. PS5 it is, I guess?

haha that was great

Wonder what percentage actually attached it to the console, mine’s still in the box haha

Looks fun but 115$ Canadian ain’t happening out of principle. I think there’s an argument that some games warrant a higher price tag, but a collection of mini games? Nope. Get absolutely rekt.

I absolutely love it so far, it’s definitely in that very upper tier of modern Nintendo bangers for me, alongside Odyssey, BOTW, TOTK, etc. It’s an easy 9 right now but I haven’t finished yet so subject to change.

Cold is an effective treatment of some forms of cancer.

No one can convince me this wasn’t a huge money maker for them, even with the eventual free repairs. A lot of people wouldn’t have known about that offer or followed any of the news around it, they just would have replaced their broken controller and grumbled about how they don’t make things like they used to and moved on.

I love this game, still one of my favourite Nintendo games.

That’s one classy box, Japan by a mile.

dudes were on drugs for this one, what could they possibly have thought was going to happen?

I think I managed to get one from Best Buy in Canada but haven’t received a confirmation email or had the charge show up on my card. It is showing on my purchases in my account with a confirmation number though. Fingers crossed!

Did the drift issue cause more or less hardware sales? The answer to that question determines the outcome of all of this.

I’m actually stoked for this feature. This is what draws me into Nintendo products, I want the weirdness, if they didn’t have the weirdness it wouldn’t be Nintendo IMO.

@Disobey yes, anyone who went to school is and should be pissed off right now.

@Optimus the dude bankrupted a casino, A CASINO. If people just did a modicum of research before just consuming whatever non-fact people try to sell them on social media, we probably wouldn’t be in this mess.

Can’t wait to see the spin from the right on this one.

Europe #2 is by far the worst of the 3 in my opinion, shocked at these results. The Japanese one is the most sensibly designed piece.

Europe got absolutely bodied with this one

Those are not some words I expected to see together

I tend to stick to index funds and other bundled ETFs because I just don’t have the time to be hands on, but I do tend to buy some Nintendo here and there when it dips, mainly just to fan out.

They’re the future of the industry, honestly. AAA gaming is going to implode and we are eventually going to be left with a handful of live service games and a vibrant indie scene.

This game had one of the best glow up’s since the Switch ARK port, I would grab it on Switch 2

I wonder how the fit is between the console and the dock. One of my favourite early accessories was these dock bands that fit onto the edge of the panel of the launch model Switch that made it a snug fit into the dock, I’ve been using them since day one. I hope they’re not needed this time around, or if they are, hopefully someone’s on it.

Good time to buy

About what I expected. Back in December I commented on here: “I think we’ll get a paltry reconfirmation of a successor’s existence in a direct in February or March, with a larger reveal coming later in the year.“ Which more or less lines up, timeline’s shifted a bit and it wasn’t a direct but I figured it would go like this. Bit of a taste to drum up the buzz and we will get a larger look in April. I’m pumped, thought it was bang on what it needed to be.

Polygon are running a story that suggests Genki has never seen the new hardware and was only basing their mock ups on other leaks. Wild if true!

I’m not sure how I feel about the whole magnets thing, if true. Magnets can lose their magnetism when dropped, when heated, etc.

@WaveBoy I’m with you on the sensor bar, that was a missed opportunity with the Switch

I think we’ll get a paltry reconfirmation of a successor’s existence in a direct in February or March, with a larger reveal coming later in the year.

When keeping it real goes wrong

Yes to a direct, no to it being a hardware announcement.
