Finishing off rebirth at the moment. It’d be good if these get cross progression as I’d like to take my saves mobile on the switch. Anyone know if this is something that’s been implemented?
Glad this and outlaws have cross progression. Will see how I feel after Yotei if I’m up for more Japanese open world but will probably pick this up at some point. Outlaws is brilliant on switch 2 so hopefully this’ll be just as good!
I mean Pokémon was (is?) a massive franchise that surely should deserve a budget to suit. Why do they keep releasing games that look like mobile games from 2015?
Good to hear some positive news in the console space and S2 certainly seems like its success will see more competition from Sony and MS in the next few years.
Oh well at least London's getting a pop up shop for a month. Better than nothing I suppose but its location centrally would have been better like Rockefeller in nyc.
Looks good but if this is a switch 2 release shouldn’t they have waited for proper switch 2 dev kits before releasing? A 60fps mode would’ve been nice for its release anyway.
I feel like he was so distant from fans and a disappointment to me after Reggie. Bowser had a great name and may have done a great job (or not?) but I won’t miss him like I did Reggie, Iwata or even Howard Lincoln!

Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Almost Had Completely New Cutscenes
@Metazoxan agreed and there’s no way I’m holding off on MP4!
Re: It's Official, Assassin's Creed Shadows Comes To Switch 2 In December With Cross-Progression

Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Almost Had Completely New Cutscenes
@Metazoxan yes you’re right. I guess id just like them before 4 so I can play them again in order 😀
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Almost Had Completely New Cutscenes
So with prime 4 out soon does that mean we’re not getting 2&3 remakes as rumoured?
Would have thought they’d be out before 4…
Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The London Pop-Up Nintendo Store's Sweet Merch
I’ll try and get there at some point, hope it does well enough that they consider a permanent place in central London.
Re: Anniversary: SNES Action RPG 'Terranigma' Is 30 Years Old Today, And It's Still A 10/10 In Our Book
Used to have a mint copy of this but never played it. Wish I’d never sold it as I’m sure it’s worth quite a bit now!
Re: Video: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Official Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2, Xbox, PS5, PC)
Was hoping this was going to turn out bad so I’m not so tempted to play this again on switch but looks like I might be buying it again!
Re: Ask Iwata Is Getting A Paperback Release In Summer 2026
I miss Iwata at the helm, current execs seem faceless, impersonal and too greedy.
Re: Mini Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A (Switch) - Mostly Stable, Much Less Shiny

Re: Nintendo Reportedly Increases Switch 2 Production To 25 Million Units For Year 1
Good to hear some positive news in the console space and S2 certainly seems like its success will see more competition from Sony and MS in the next few years.
Re: Wolfenstein II Gets A New Physical Edition For Switch Full Of Tat
Was an ok game, largely forgettable for me though.
Re: The ROG Xbox Ally X Receives Glowing Reviews, But It's Still Pretty Pricey
For that price I’d definitely expect an oled screen, damn
Re: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Receives A Small Update (Version 1.4.1)
Really enjoyed this. Would be down for a sequel definitely!
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 May Clash With Metroid Prime 4
I more or less bought my S2 in anticipation of Prime 4 so I know where my moneys going!
May get shadows further down the line though.
Re: Nintendo Is Opening Its Fourth Store In Japan This Year
Oh well at least London's getting a pop up shop for a month. Better than nothing I suppose but its location centrally would have been better like Rockefeller in nyc.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (11th October)
Back to finish off FF7 Rebirrh which I dropped for something else about a year ago. Really enjoying it!
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
I might grab this on switch but not sure how much open world Japanese goodness I’ll need after ghost of yotei…
Re: Review: Yooka-Replaylee (Switch 2) - Feels Like The Game It Was Meant To Be, Finally
Looks good but if this is a switch 2 release shouldn’t they have waited for proper switch 2 dev kits before releasing? A 60fps mode would’ve been nice for its release anyway.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Switch 2 Trailer Introduces Shinra, The Turks & Avalanche
@Metaphor1987 yes I know but it’s still a benefit for those that do. I wasn’t saying they’re perfect just better than codes in a box.
Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
I buy more than I have time to play but it still doesn’t stop me adding to my backlog! Probably 10-15 a year on average.
Re: Poll: Do You Think Nintendo's New Animated Short 'Close To You' Is Pikmin Related?
It’s Nintendo… nobody knows… not even Nintendo
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Switch 2 Trailer Introduces Shinra, The Turks & Avalanche
I’m not a fan of key cards either but at least you can resell them unlike codes in a box.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Switch 2 Trailer Introduces Shinra, The Turks & Avalanche
Loved this game and rebirth. No doubt the full trilogy will be making its way to S2 in time and I may well double dip!
Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
New wave race confirmed!
(I know but I can dream 😅)
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Strategy Games
Just picked up Persona 5 Tactica for £12 on Amazon if anyone’s interested in the uk…
Re: Hori's New Switch 2 Pad Lets You Lock The Home And Capture Buttons
Are they coming out with split pad pros for switch 2 anyone know?
Re: UK Charts: Mario Galaxy Starts Strong, But It Can't Topple Sony's Latest
Yotei deserves some time at the top!
Re: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Updated To Version 1.2.2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Just reminded me this is another game in my backlog I’ve not got round to yet. Dammit I need more time!
Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
DK and expedition 33 are my GOTY’s so far.
DK is miles ahead of MK in my opinion.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
Not for me. Already spent a lot on these back in the day and have 3D all stars.
If they were proper switch 2 remakes then I’d be in but as they stand I’m happy without them.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Gets Another Switch 2 Patch, Further Improves Performance And Visuals
Great game, was much better than expected.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 On Switch
@Serpenterror you’re probably right but I’m still holding out for an actual proper Mario 64 remake one day!
Re: Video: After Six Wonderful Years, Zion Is Leaving Nintendo Life
Loved your Mario paint video idea! All the best Zion you’ll be missed not just by the NL team but us readers as well! 💪
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy Advance (GBA) Game Ranked
What a great console the GBA was - apart from barely being able to see the screen with its terrible brightness!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th September)
Kirby forgotten lands for me, great game!
Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Announces Retirement
I feel like he was so distant from fans and a disappointment to me after Reggie. Bowser had a great name and may have done a great job (or not?) but I won’t miss him like I did Reggie, Iwata or even Howard Lincoln!
Wish him all the best though…
Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
It certainly feels like Nintendo are pushing 3rd party’s to game cards considering they only offer 64Gb SD’s.
Re: Nintendo Announces Pop-Up Store In London, Opening Next Month
Thanks Nintendo but let’s just make it permanent please…
Re: UK Charts: Well, Look Who Cruised Back Into First Place
Currently playing Kirby the forgotten land and glad to see that’s in the charts, what a superb game has surprised me!
Re: The Touryst: Deluxe Hits Switch 2 Next Week At 4K / 60fps
@Sylamp ah sweet thanks, somehow missed that!
Re: The Touryst: Deluxe Hits Switch 2 Next Week At 4K / 60fps
Was a fun game but I loved it more than I should have just because of the visuals.
Might pick the upgrade up just for the eye candy. Anyone know if the save file carries over?
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
Well done switch 2 for 2 million!
I wonder if Nintendo will do a lite or oled version at some point? I’d settle just for a better battery like the OG switch got.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush (Switch 2) - DLC That's Ripe With Fun, But Could've Been More
This costs approximately 27% the amount of the base game yet contains probably 1% of that content so the value proposition isn’t good in my opinion.
I may pick it up in a sale if it ever goes on one.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Super Mario's Game History In 40th Anniversary Timeline
This is a weird selective list. Why didn’t they just include every release? What’s wrong with Mario bros 2?
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
It looks like even Metroid isn’t going to be a metroidvania 😂
I’m nervous and really hope this is implemented well.
Re: Nintendo Direct September 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
@spiderman0616 yeah I get all that and I will vote with my wallet. My concern just stems from how greedy Nintendo seem to have become that’s all.
I’m the same Nintendo fan I’ve always been but for some reason I’m paying almost double the amount I was not long ago.
Re: Nintendo Direct September 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
@spiderman0616 a month or two after launch?
Re: Nintendo Direct September 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
@Thorgaer “midlife crisis bike”
Love that! 🤣
Re: Nintendo Direct September 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Good content, bad pricing.
The DK DLC feels it was cut from the original game to make an extra 20 a few months later.
