@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT IDK i kinda thought I might be wrong, but I looked at screenshots of the game and none of them are that light of a pastel, they are much darker like the NA one from my view.
Man Japan is fun, but the NA one is just better imo. It gives a little more of what the game is to you and also it matches the color palette of the actual game. I'm not sure why the Japan version is way more pastel.
If I had never heard of the game before I would assume the NA version is a platformer but the Japan version I would think could be anything
@progx Yeah i'm fairly sure it was for that reason, just like...... it's animal crossing who cares? Like splatoon makes a little sense because it's competitive or maybe pokemon (though that one is stupid too)
Honestly what it comes down to is every single other system and pc game has save backups for everything so i'm not sure why nintendo feels like they somehow can't secure it.
i'm glad their doing a non-pokemon game but i'm so confused why it's like an M rated looking souls-like game. idk like do something different, but not like what literally everyone else is also doing.
I know the art style some people don't agree with but I love it, it's so unique. Wasn't sure if i'd play this, only other I played was the hd2d dq3 and I wasn't the hugest fan, but i'm glad I got a demo to see!
I’ll be honest, like I guess it’s clean but it also looks like someone whipped it up in like 10 minutes because they forgot. Like is that the best they could do?
Great game, and I lost a lot of respect for IGN after their review. It honestly in my opinion perfectly does the modern Banjo Kazooie. there are faults with that but if that's the type of game you're looking for it's fantastic and fun as heck.
biggest problems imo are the lack of some switch 2 upgrades for games, the battery life (especially the dang standby drain), and the fact that we're already seeing limits to the capabilities even though they're trying to claim it's 10x more powerful.
The only issue I have with them, is some of the awards they just like list out for 5 seconds and move on which is kinda weird. It's mostly just a big advertising show, but there are always cool new announcements so I'm always down for it.
Man I was so excited by this one. The art direction is great. I’m enjoying it but also It’s a bit frustrating to work with. You get punished all the time and have no idea why. There are a bunch of mechanics that are just super mysterious. I think some of that is totally fine and cool even but there are certain parts that are more frustrating than mysterious.
Otherwise the combat is cool and feels great. I just mostly have no idea what I’m doing or why things are happening
The controls and the decor pikmin was cool i guess, but like you just had to add a bunch that nobody asked for and ignore the things all the switch 2 owners did ask for.
i kinda defended them as maybe a way for smaller devs to do physical easier but now it's unacceptable. Literally like the largest francise in the world
Feels kinda like it in the switch generation main games. DS/3DS era games weren't amazing but they had their own style and were trying some new things. Once we got to the Wii area, we started really getting shoveled some crappy games. The switch made it more apparent though as the quality and performance of games was just so far behind all other Nintendo games.
why can't they just have a meeting and be like "we're going to make a complete product" like I know the game is fun, just why though do they keep making such incomplete and lazy designs when I imagine putting another few million dollars in development would net them more sales and more good will.

Re: Nintendo Announces Launch Line-Up For Switch Online Virtual Boy
dang they said only 2 more in the rest of 2026? Hope that is just 2 more planned and not only 2.
Re: Reminder: Cult Of The Lamb Summons Its "Biggest Update Ever" For Switch
I’m confused, at the top it looks like you say the base game is on sale for 60% off then at the bottom you mention again it’s on sale but say 50% off
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct Announced For Thursday, 29th January
better than a movie direct

Re: Opinion: I'll Never Truly RIP Until 'The Séance Of Blake Manor' Comes To Switch
Yeah i can't believe it isn't on switch already. Darkside Detective was pretty fun but this is definitely more ambitious.
Re: Rumour: Bethesda Is Reportedly Reviving Two More Fallout Games
IMO Fallout 3 and New Vegas gameplay aged far far better than Oblivion. So I would love to see those.
Re: Random: An 'Adults Only' Island Has Been Deleted From Animal Crossing: New Horizons
This seemed fairly harmless and pretty funny

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
i'm mostly angry at them because my island is gone now.....why did they have to do backups of the island in such a complicated manner
Re: Mystery Product Code Sparks Rumours Of A New Switch 2 Model
@HalBailman is argue lite is more needed this time around. Switch 2 is much larger and kids still got tiny hands
Re: Mystery Product Code Sparks Rumours Of A New Switch 2 Model
Honestly they need a lite version. How does anyone under like 13 even hold this thing somewhat comfortably
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mario Power Tennis (GameCube)
Honestly the NA/EU one is a bit more fun, but my biggest gripe is the awful square gamecube logo at the top right of the Japan one.
Re: Rumours Of "Surprise" Witcher 3 Expansion Intensify
give me a dang S2 edition, but i'd pay for a new dlc also
Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak To Reveal More About 'Beast Of Reincarnation' Later This Month
i'm glad their doing a non-pokemon game but i'm so confused why it's like an M rated looking souls-like game. idk like do something different, but not like what literally everyone else is also doing.
Re: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Demo - Switch And Switch 2 Performance Investigated
@johnedwin id guess it’s the fact that the game is like 6gb (surprisingly) and Nintendo is still only doing 64gb cards afaik
Re: Surprise! Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Gets A Switch & Switch 2 Demo This Week, Includes Bonus Reward
I know the art style some people don't agree with but I love it, it's so unique. Wasn't sure if i'd play this, only other I played was the hd2d dq3 and I wasn't the hugest fan, but i'm glad I got a demo to see!
Re: Dragon Quest 40th Anniversary Logo Revealed, Expect "Various Announcements"
I’ll be honest, like I guess it’s clean but it also looks like someone whipped it up in like 10 minutes because they forgot. Like is that the best they could do?
Re: Rumour: Bethesda's Newest IP Is Still Reportedly On Course For Switch 2
I would definitely be interesting in trying this out.
Re: Pikmin 4 Has Been Updated To Version 1.1.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Nintendo will literally do anything rather than update Pikmin to switch 2
Re: Divinity: Original Sin 2 Gets Surprise Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, And It's Out Now
@dskatter it's an EU/NA eshop difference
Re: Divinity: Original Sin 2 Gets Surprise Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, And It's Out Now
@Olliemar28 It appears to be a US/EU difference. On the US Eshop there is no listing, but if I look at the EU eshop it's in there.
Re: Divinity: Original Sin 2 Gets Surprise Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, And It's Out Now
Does it just auto upgrade or something? I don't see anything on the store page. I wish there would just be a clear cut way about these.
Edit: appears NA doesn't have the listing as of now, when I search in the EU eshop it's there.
Re: PSA: My Nintendo Store's Merch Range Has Been Updated With Some Pop-Up Shop Exclusives
EU always gets cooler stuff or it gets stuff earlier.
Re: Surprise! 'Skyrim Anniversary Edition' Lands On Switch 2 Today
So i'm looking at the US Eshop and I don't see anything for the upgrade? Am I missing something? I already do own the switch 1 Anniversary Edition
Re: Take Yooka-Replaylee For A Spin In This New Switch 2 Demo
Great game, and I lost a lot of respect for IGN after their review. It honestly in my opinion perfectly does the modern Banjo Kazooie. there are faults with that but if that's the type of game you're looking for it's fantastic and fun as heck.
I just reallllllllllly want a 60fps mode
Re: Talking Point: Six Months Since Launch, How Would You Rate Switch 2?
biggest problems imo are the lack of some switch 2 upgrades for games, the battery life (especially the dang standby drain), and the fact that we're already seeing limits to the capabilities even though they're trying to claim it's 10x more powerful.
Re: The Game Awards 2025: Time, Date & How To Watch
The only issue I have with them, is some of the awards they just like list out for 5 seconds and move on which is kinda weird. It's mostly just a big advertising show, but there are always cool new announcements so I'm always down for it.
Re: "It's Make-Or-Break For Sure" - Shovel Knight Dev's Fate Rests On Upcoming Zelda-Like
I forgot about this one, and when I go to the eshop on my PC now it doesn't show any demo available. Am I missing somehting?
Re: UK Charts: Kirby Is Nowhere To Be Seen In A Quiet Week
the weirdest one to me is skywalker saga still sitting top 15
Re: Mini Review: Morsels (Switch) - A Punishing, Obscure, But Thoroughly Entertaining Roguelite Dungeon Crawler
Man I was so excited by this one. The art direction is great. I’m enjoying it but also It’s a bit frustrating to work with. You get punished all the time and have no idea why. There are a bunch of mechanics that are just super mysterious. I think some of that is totally fine and cool even but there are certain parts that are more frustrating than mysterious.
Otherwise the combat is cool and feels great. I just mostly have no idea what I’m doing or why things are happening
Re: Kirby Air Riders In-Game Events Are Planned To Run For A Year After Launch
Pretty fun! Hopefully they add some new rewards while they're going on
Re: Opinion: Banjo-Tooie Is Pure Nightmare Fuel, And I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way
man i love the style and humor of that game
Re: Fortnite's Latest Trailer Is An Unsettling Realisation Of Its Crossover Ambitions
I mean, to be fair, Fortnite is probably mostly kids still, but if you started playing it at like 10 when it first came out, you would be 18 now.
Re: Review: Demonschool (Switch) - Jokes, Gore, And '90s Vibes Set Necrosoft's Tactical RPG Apart
man the visuals are just so great for this, might have to grab it even though i just got morsels.
Re: Pikmin 4's Free Content Update Is Out Now, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
The controls and the decor pikmin was cool i guess, but like you just had to add a bunch that nobody asked for and ignore the things all the switch 2 owners did ask for.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
i kinda defended them as maybe a way for smaller devs to do physical easier but now it's unacceptable. Literally like the largest francise in the world
Re: Review: Double Dragon Revive (Switch) - Nice Ideas, Uneven Execution
yeah my first thought is the art direction is awful. It looks like it should be on the PSP
Re: Review: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment (Switch 2) - A Stunning Slice Of Musou, Worthy Of The Zelda Canon
I wish I was into this style of game.
Re: Talking Point: When Did 'Good Enough' Become Good Enough For Pokémon?

Re: Review: Once Upon A Katamari (Switch) – A Roll-'Em-Up Revival Done Right
@TheBoilerman man it's so unlike anything else, just such a zen game
Re: Review: Once Upon A Katamari (Switch) – A Roll-'Em-Up Revival Done Right
My favorite, most repayable franchise. This was so unexpected and I'm so happy with how it turned out.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sold 5.8 Million Copies Globally In Its First Week
@Shade_Koopa Yeah I mean low effort is subjective. Pokemon is the largest, so they get less leeway. Most indie devs put in more effort and love
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sold 5.8 Million Copies Globally In Its First Week
i hate that people won't hold them to a higher standard lol. I mean it's still fun i'm sure, it just irks me the low effort style they do
Re: Mini Review: Silver Bullet (Switch) - A Gothic Arcade Shooter Full Of Tricks
man i love a Halloween themed game
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct #2: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate it?
IDK if it's my cup of tea exactly but the amount of love and detail put in are great. This is what we want, a passionately made game.
Re: Japanese Charts: Surprise, Surprise, Pokémon Legends: Z-A Leaves The Competition In The Dust
Xbox Series S......48 sales
Re: Opinion: Nintendo's Forgotten The Game With The Most 'Switch 2 Edition' Potential
it's just dumb they added a photo mode and Pikmin with hats lol why can't they spend 3 seconds and give a resolution bump on handheld
Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends Z-A Is The Creepiest Entry Yet, Not In A Good Way
why can't they just have a meeting and be like "we're going to make a complete product" like I know the game is fun, just why though do they keep making such incomplete and lazy designs when I imagine putting another few million dollars in development would net them more sales and more good will.
Re: Surprise! Pikmin 4 Is Getting A Free Content Update On Switch Next Month
Dude just put in a damn resolution and fps upgrade how much easier would that have been
