Happy new year for everyone at NintendoLife, PureXbox and PushSquare!

May GTA VI finally release! May Pragmata be an amazing new IP! May Ace Attorney 7 finally be announced! May we get some amazing first party games from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony! And most of all, may we see little to none layoffs and may the AI bubble burst!

@Debo626 you are confusing the religious cross symbol with the cross shape. Both are a cross. The shape is diagonal, if it was straight the shape is called a plus shape.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on Nintendo Switch Online. Also finally started Once Upon a Katamari on Switch 2

Still slowly working through Powerwash Simulator too. And been thinking about starting Resident Evil Revelations and Star Wars Outlaws.

@Jack_Goetz according to leaks they’re introducing 16gb, 32gb and 128gb so both bigger and smaller
However a lot of the GKC games would’ve fit on the 64gb cart and are too big for the 32gb cart so saying the new sizes will fix the issue is very optimistic and naive 😂

@pjoreilly great article. However I see it was pre written since Stardew Valley Switch 2 Edition is in the runner ups for 2025 games that didn’t make 2025. It released yesterday 🫣

I see people are review bombing Trials in the Sky since this list got posted an hour ago (went from 1st place at a 9,5/10 to 3rd place at a 9,0/10)

I wishlisted pre release and almost pre ordered it but wanted to save that money for Mina the Hollower (RIP). Currently waiting for it to hit €10/50% off.

I’m halfway through 100% completing Majora’s Mask on my Switch 2 and I’m halfway through Powerwash Simulator’s career mode.

Also started playing Trails of Cold Steel on my Ps5. Besides that some Fortnite like usual.

Between this, the already announced Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, the rumoured Oblivion port and the leaked Fallout 3 remaster by the oblivion remaster devs I wonder if Bethesda will oversaturate 2026 with 4 switch 2 releases.

@Warioware dark ties is reportedly a full Gaiden game like Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and The Man Without a Name.

Still haven’t decided wether I want this one on PS5 or NS2. I played and own literally every game on ps3/4/5 but I prefer playing on NS2. But also NS2 is a GKC. But Ps5 will likely hit a sale faster in case I double dip.

@wollywoo Rayman 4 (Origins) and 5 (Legends) exist already. Ubisoft just chose to return to Rayman 1’s style of gameplay instead of making 3D sequels.

Looks more like a European cartoon from the early 00s from like germany, Italy or the Netherlands than anything disney ever made.

@WaveBoy the Ps4 and Switch versions of RE4 are a remaster of the Ps2 version. It does not support gyro.
5 and 6 are remasters of the ps3 versions, those support gyro because of Ps3’s sixaxis support.

Sad GotG is a cloud version because it’s genuinely amazing with such a tear jerker story.

@mlt RE4 on Switch doesn’t have motion controls sadly.

@Olliemar28 Sounds like those issues got introduced recently since neither me or @GoldenSunRM experienced these issues.
Sounds like @aeng backs this up.

Wait, what was wrong with RE4? I played it on my NS2 in October and didn’t experience any issues.

It’s insane the ps4 version looks better, runs better, has double the framerate and uses no DLSS as a crutch to achieve all of that while being on weaker hardware.

@GoproGO the only console I’ve never seem go on an official sale or official price hike is the Switch 1. And even then the NS1 got bundles where you got up to 3 games for free during Black Friday.

Playing The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask for the first time ever on my Switch 2

@Casco nothing in art is “objective”
There is no “obtectively best” tomb raider.

Powerwash Simulator on Switch and One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 on Switch 2. Enjoying both.

Also started Trails of Cold Steel on Ps5.

@BaldB3lper78 you’re missing the point. The point is this is an extremely lazy cash grab port. The switch 2 can run games better than a ps4 pro yet we got a port worse than the ps3 original.

@Dang_69 what’s wrong with lexar? I can’t find any issues online and my friends that have been using it for 6 months now haven’t had issues either.

Just ordered a 1TB one for my NS2 during a Black Friday sale. Seems like I made the right decision.

@gcunit there is no stand alone NS1 physical however the NS2 physical works on both NS1 and NS2 as both versions are included on the cartridge.

Also @jimnorman this is not a reverse cover. It’s inner box art. A reverse cover requires the logos and spine title. There’s a difference and people often make this mistake calling all inner box art “reverseable covers”

@olliemar28 I’m glad you clarified you still think RE5 is good despite it being one of your least favorite entries.
People often confuse “least” and “worst” to automatically mean “bad” when it honestly doesn’t.

@dmcc0 they can’t lock Japanese language options. If the Japanese rom supports English it will be playable in English even on region locked consoles.

@Jireland92 the publisher decides, not the developer
This game is published by The Pokemon Company.

My favorite RedDead-Like alongside The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Wild Arms!

Hopefull finishing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter on the Switch 2 and starting Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance.
Also some Fortnite with friends on Ps5.

Happy anniversary! On to another 20!

@jimnorman Mega Diancie isn’t new. It has been in the games since Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Bought the game on sale with all DLC included last month in preparation. Excited to play it.

€99,99 is crazy when they’re normally €79,99. Why do Euro countries have to pay €20 more total?

@Filthy reporting on Twitter and Reddit outrage has been big on PureXbox, they’re open about it generating clicks and engagement over there despite community criticism. Guess it was eventual that NintendoLife and PushSquare would follow.

@SalvorHardin there isn’t really a “trilogy” atm. 7 started a story which 8 finished, 9 is continuing the story from the Outbreak games and RE2 and 3, the remakes are just doing their own thing with the next 2 remakes reportedly being 0 ans Code Veronica.

@Nick2054 you’ll exclusively be in bot lobbies until you reach account level 5.

I’m so happy NSO and Ps+ Premium games let you remap the sticks!

Ever since XY honestly.
And while I have adored every game before and after things should definitely change.

@Liam_Doolan I can’t find concrete information online with all active SF6 promos and events and codes
Would be cool if you did an article compiling and updating them like PushSquare does with Borderlands Vault Keys since BL2.

@Metazoxan I said “part of” not “all”
“Part of” means “some”

@dartmonkey there’s an error in the “what’s on switch” section. It says PLZA released in 2022 and Mega Dimensions in 2025 when PLZA is 2025 and Mega Dimensions is 2026.

@HugoGED that’s because games stop supporting multiplayer if you aren’t on the latest version.
Sakurai himself said part of the content revealed this week is in the day 1 patch.

@Toastmaster it was an insane success on Ps5

@Toastmaster Microsoft released THPS3+4 on Switch 2 in July

EDIT: also FH5 outsold the PC and XSX lifetime sales on Ps5 in 3 months

At this point they’ll remake Survivor, Dead Aim and Degeneration before they’ll remake Code Veronica.

16/21
3 of my mistakes I was debating between the correct and wrong answers, the other 2 I was just plain wrong.

Nintendo Switch Online and retro game collections and compilations.

NGL it’s rough when only 1 game out of a 1.000+ game library can reach a userscore of 9.0 or above and when majority of the top 50 hangs in the 7.0 range.
