Ah well it's better than the £429.99 I was expecting...
@DTfearTheBEARD yeah agreed. I reluctantly bought a pro at launch thinking it was a rip off, though today it almost seems like good value! Crazy times...
I have been very tempted by this just because I still have some n64 games but no way to play them.
Problem is I barely have time for my switch 2 and ps5 pro so just feel I wouldn’t get the use out of it. Maybe that’ll change at some point in the future though and this does look like a really nice piece of hardware.
@Picola-Wicola I’m with you with the joycon. In fact I’ve barely played my switch 2 handheld it’s been either docked or on its stand with the pro controller.
I’m really hopeful Hori release some split pad pros for the S2 as they made playing handheld mode on my old OLED so much better.
I think Nintendo missed a trick with S2’s joycon, they could’ve been so much more ergonomic.
If it’s on series s surely switch 2 could handle it? This feels a bit like a cop out answer to me especially when you think cyberpunk and FF7 remake run absolutely fine.
Capcom have been on fire so good to see them reaping the rewards. Many western devs and publishers would do well to take a few pages out of their book!

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Switch 2 Are In
Looks like a great port but personally I’m not interested in cod these days…
Re: The Duskbloods Network Test Session Closed After Disastrous Server Issues
“We will continue to work on improving the servers“
Sounds like a bit of an understatement!
Re: Nintendo Proved Crucial In Helping Players Understand The Duskbloods
@Picola-Wicola if you do I highly recommend Bloodborne! Peak FromSoft in my opinion…
Re: Japanese Charts: Nintendo Continues To Dominate With Rhythm Heaven Groove
135 for all Xbox consoles combined damn I’m amazed they’re still bothering over there to be honest.
Re: Nintendo Details Switch 2 Price Increase For The UK
Ah well it's better than the £429.99 I was expecting...
@DTfearTheBEARD yeah agreed. I reluctantly bought a pro at launch thinking it was a rip off, though today it almost seems like good value! Crazy times...
Re: Poll: Did You Get Into The Duskbloods Switch 2 Beta Test?
So excited Nintendo got a FromSoft game yet at the same time so disappointed there's no SP...
Re: Embark On An Epic Voyage With The Latest Switch Online Game Trial (Europe)
Can’t really believe it’s been 10 years since this came out 😮
I remember the pre-release hype was massive and it felt like yesterday…
Re: Kingdom Hearts Voice Actor Hayden Panettiere Has Died At 36
So many young people dying these days, especially from heart attacks.
RIP Hayden.

Re: Switch 2 Demo Kiosks Now Advertising September Price Hike
@Olderion yeah or maybe the reason they haven’t given us a new price is because there isn’t going to be an increase in the uk!?
And pigs might fly 😅
Re: Switch 2 Demo Kiosks Now Advertising September Price Hike
@Olderion they have been upfront in one way, but also elusive in others like pricing for certain territories.
Re: Switch 2 Demo Kiosks Now Advertising September Price Hike
@jco83 yeah thanks it seems a bit odd they've taken so long.
I like your workings but I'm going for a £429.99 guestimate...
Re: Switch 2 Demo Kiosks Now Advertising September Price Hike
@Liam_Doolan have they release new uk pricing yet do you know?
Re: Poll: So, Are You Getting The Zelda Switch 2 Console And Pro Controller?
I was down for the controller initially until I realised the right hand grip was green and I’m not sure I like it.
If it was black with the Zelda design I’d definitely have it but now I’m not so sure.
For the console I’m waiting for the oled if it ever comes, especially if it has improved battery as well.
Re: Legend Of Zelda Limited Edition Switch 2 Console And Pro Controller Leaks
@AussieMcBucket @Tyranexx ah yeah I was gonna say that one but thought it was too obvious 🤣
Re: Legend Of Zelda Limited Edition Switch 2 Console And Pro Controller Leaks
@AussieMcBucket @Tyranexx Leaks of the Kingdom.
(Ok I’ll stop now 🤣)
Re: Legend Of Zelda Limited Edition Switch 2 Console And Pro Controller Leaks
@AussieMcBucket 😂 A Leak to the Past.
Re: Genki's New Controller Is Chunky, Boasts Haptic Feedback, And Its Own Screen

Re: Genki's New Controller Is Chunky, Boasts Haptic Feedback, And Its Own Screen
Personally I’d rather have no screen with a cheaper price.
Can’t see anything meaningful that would add.
Re: Talking Point: Which Developer Is Working On The Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake?
@psyraven76 hah that would be a twist!
Though Nintendo should’ve saved Bluepoint from Sony seeing as they’re so into remakes these days.
Re: Talking Point: Which Developer Is Working On The Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake?
I can’t see capcom having enough resources to be involved.
I don’t know how they’ve even managed their own games this year like Pragmata, Resi Requem and Onimusha etc, let alone remaking OoT.
Having said that they seem to be an absolute machine these days so maybe they are involved!
Re: Best Metroid Games Of All Time
Good to see Super Metroid at number 1 though Prime 1 has to be close. Now where on earth are the Prime 2&3 remasters Nintendo pretty please?
Re: Nintendo Reveals Its Playable Gamescom Line-Up
Forgot 007 was coming to switch, great game!
Re: Opinion: When It Comes To Metroid's Future, Familiar Is Better
I really enjoyed Prime 4 and didn’t mind the bike sections but agree if there was no open world part and more on foot I’d have preferred it.
Some things don’t need changing for changes sake especially after we’d waited so long for a new game of this style.
Re: Review: Lies Of P: Complete Edition (Switch 2) - No Strings On This Superb, Immersive Soulslike
Good game but for some reason I didn't gel with it as much as say Bloodborne. Glad it turned out well on S2 though!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (GameCube)
Damn this game was genius. Wish I still had my GC and bongos!
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For August & September 2026
@Sambuc agreed. I’m not a massive fan of game key cards but code in a box is infinitely worse.
Re: Japanese Charts: Booyah! Splatoon Raiders Puts Up Some Huge Week-One Numbers
@Erigen yeah was only joking really but an xcom style strategy game would be sweet. Love those and the rabbids games so I’d be down for it!
@gcunit that’s a great shout hadn’t thought of that. I could imagine that would add a lot more strategy to each race and could be a right old giggle!
Re: Japanese Charts: Booyah! Splatoon Raiders Puts Up Some Huge Week-One Numbers
@JohnnyMind @Sylamp ah ok thanks I missed this. Shame it’s not a new game but I’ll def grab it if it comes west!
Re: Japanese Charts: Booyah! Splatoon Raiders Puts Up Some Huge Week-One Numbers
Hold on there’s a new Goemon game out? Why do I not know about this is it Japan only?
@Erigen Splatoon Kart? 🤭

Re: Capcom's Goal Is To Release A Resident Evil Game Every Year
Would rather they remade the Zelda oracle games to be honest.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mario Superstar Baseball (GameCube)
Both pretty terrible for my tastes!
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto "Not Really Thinking About" Directing Another Game
Shame. Shigsy made many of my favourite games.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Defends Nintendo's Production Of Remakes
I'm indifferent about remakes overall but dammit it Nintendo where's my Mario 64 remake?
Re: Ball X Pit Is Rolling Out Its "Final Free Update" Soon
Loved this game but there’s too many other games to play so doubt I’ll go back.
Re: Round Up: "Incredibly Compelling" - The Splatoon Raiders Reviews Are In
@JamesD1877 oh thanks I didn’t know that!
Re: Nintendo All But Confirms That Splatoon 4 Is On The Way
Great news for splatoon fans but I wish we’d get a bit more variety between releases. How about revisiting some your old IP Nintendo?
Re: Round Up: "Incredibly Compelling" - The Splatoon Raiders Reviews Are In
As it has SP I might make this my first splatoon!
Re: Stellar Blade Has Been Rated For Switch 2
The music in this game was also superb!
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Lies Of P On Switch 2
Love to see this coming to S2. Good game but I won’t be double dipping personally.
Re: Here Are Japan's Best-Selling Switch 1 & 2 eShop Games For The First Half Of 2026
@Nao120 enjoy, no doubt I’ll boot it up again for another run through at some point too!
@Unpopular_Commentor Ouch. Sorry you’re not enjoying it. I found the camera and controls fine. Hope it somehow gets better for you!
Re: Here Are Japan's Best-Selling Switch 1 & 2 eShop Games For The First Half Of 2026
@Nao120 agreed DK was my goty too, the most fun game I’ve played in years!
Re: Here Are Japan's Best-Selling Switch 1 & 2 eShop Games For The First Half Of 2026
Good to see Pragmata make the cut!
Re: Opinion: Nintendo Gains A Rep Boost As Sony & Microsoft Lay Waste To The Industry
It’s simple. If Nintendo keep physical they have my money.
Re: Round Up: "The Game F***ing Rules" - The First Previews For Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Are In
Yep I’m in especially if there’s physical.

Re: GameStop CEO Says Video Game Software Makes Up Less Than 12% Of The Business
@AmplifyMJ just goes to show they literally don’t care. The fact we show loyalty to these companies is one way and is highlighted here. Sad but true.
