@Pillowpants Europe has always been treated negatively by Nintendo. At least we don’t have to wait 12 months for games to come out after Japan any more.
With Hori not looking like they’re making any switch pad pro’s for switch 2 I may well grab some of these as I veer away from handheld mode as I find the joycons too uncomfortable.
I wish Nintendo made the joycon more ergonomic like these out of the box.
Pragmata is mostly out of stock everywhere on ps5 and switch in the uk at the moment. Some places have Xbox versions but this no doubt has mainly contributed to the drop off.
@Charlirnie that would be nice. I miss the days when we used to get smaller, riskier games like Pushmo, Dillon’s rolling western, doshin etc. Hopefully they may have something like that up their sleeve.
@Jack_Goetz ah shame and yeah I get what you mean. I did enjoy it though it could have done without the bike parts in all honesty and more first person areas for my tastes.
While this does look gorgeous, I hope we one day get a proper new game as there’s no reason a star fox should be on rails these days. The hardware limitations of the N64 aren’t a thing to that extent.
Sounds good overall but I get what they’re saying about the character not feeling like James Bond. I kind of got that feeling when watching earlier videos, he didn’t seem cool enough to be bond. Still looking forward to it though.

Sorry haven’t time to read the article at the moment but he thought an n64 cart would be free?
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Sneaks In Some Huge Numbers Ahead Of The Price Rise
@disappointedMii I agree and think you’re right. I’m just more hopeful for an OLED personally is all.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Sneaks In Some Huge Numbers Ahead Of The Price Rise
@disappointedMii or hopefully (for my tastes) a switch 2 OLED!
Re: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Revealed For Switch 2
Wow I wasn’t expecting the latest CoD to come to switch so this is impressive. I thought they’d rehash and old game so colour me impressed!
Re: PSA: You Can Pre-Order Star Fox Physically For Less Than The Digital Version (UK)
@jco83 yes you are quite right, got my games mixed up! Well spotted lol
Re: PSA: You Can Pre-Order Star Fox Physically For Less Than The Digital Version (UK)
Doesn’t look like this is still the case. Just checked and it’s £50 now with no sign of any 10% discounts.
Re: "The Wii U Was On Life Support" - Reggie Restates The NES & SNES Classic's True Purpose
I really really really wanted an n64 mini. Shame it never happened.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Yoshi (NES)
@HammerGalladeBro you should start a new feature - ‘Cart Art Brawl’ 😂
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Yoshi (NES)
This is one of those rare weeks I literally couldn’t decide lol.
Ended up going North America but it could’ve been any of them!
Re: Acclaim Brings "Nostalgic Roguelike Action-Platformer" Kidbash To Consoles In 2027
@outsider83 @disappointedMii you’re right acclaim closed down in 2004 with financial troubles but reopened some time last year.
Is good to see their name around again!
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 3D Platformers
Bananza would be my personal number 1 just because it’s pure fun but there’s some other seriously good games on this list!
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Sales Continue To Spike Ahead Of Price Increase
Poor old Pragmata, deserves more in my opinion!

Count me in!
(Damn minimum character limit)
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Yoshi And The Mysterious Book For Switch 2?
I’ll get it at some point but am in no rush.
Re: Anniversary: Super Mario First Went 'New' 20 Years Ago On The DS
Damn 20 years is literally insane and hard to believe to be honest 😮
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Indiana Jones And The Great Circle?
Is a good game but I’d have preferred 3rd person personally. 7/10.
Re: BioShock Creator: Switch 2 Proves Graphics Have Reached "Diminishing Returns"
@BaldB3lper78 yeah maybe but haven't we all known we’ve been hitting diminishing returns for a while now? Thought he was stating the obvious really…
Re: BioShock Creator: Switch 2 Proves Graphics Have Reached "Diminishing Returns"
@Bunkerneath same but with Toy Story 😂 can’t believe how the first film looks now but when it came out the graphics blew my mind!
Re: The Resident Evil Series Has Surpassed An Astonishing 200 Million In Unit Sales
It’s impressive and then you remember just one game in GTA5 has sold over 215 million!

Ah yes but isn’t that and “end sarcasm” (/s) before his signature? 😅
Re: UK Charts: Tomodachi Life Stands Strong As Pragmata Falls Off A Cliff

Re: Nintendo's President Apparently Wants Switch 2 To Match The Long Lifespan Of The Original System
At current prices I can’t see switch 2 selling as well as 1. Though of course that’s doesn’t mean it won’t be supported as long.
Re: Nintendo To Counter Switch 2's Global Price Hikes With Robust Software Lineup
This is awesome news thanks Furukawa. I’ll personally take a new wave race, pushmo and the prime 2&3 remasters please!
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
@Charlirnie that would be nice. I miss the days when we used to get smaller, riskier games like Pushmo, Dillon’s rolling western, doshin etc. Hopefully they may have something like that up their sleeve.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
@Jack_Goetz ah shame and yeah I get what you mean. I did enjoy it though it could have done without the bike parts in all honesty and more first person areas for my tastes.
Re: Nintendo Legend Takashi Tezuka Is Retiring From His Role In June
Happy retirement Tezuka san.
Thank you for your involvement with super Mario world especially, still the best 2D game of all time in my opinion and is absolute perfection.
Re: Nintendo Announces Sweeping Price Hikes For Switch 2
@XenobladeKisekiFan yeah that’s all fair and I agree switch 1 launch games were stronger, at least from first party anyway.
I get what you mean about not having a Mario or Zelda but donkey Kong was without doubt much better than I was giving it credit for.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
@Jack_Goetz ah fair enough. I take it you felt the same about prime 4 too?
Re: Switch Lifetime Sales Inch Toward PS2, But Price Hikes May Hurt Its Chances
@jarack yes exactly and I’m sure Sony will find a few more ps2 sales it forgot about if switch hits 160m 😂
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
@Jack_Goetz agree though donkey kong justified the early adopter status for me. Did you play that?
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
I’m down for yoshi and star fox but what on earth happened to the rumoured prime 2 + 3 remakes which were “supposedly” finished?
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Star Fox On Switch 2
While this does look gorgeous, I hope we one day get a proper new game as there’s no reason a star fox should be on rails these days. The hardware limitations of the N64 aren’t a thing to that extent.
Re: Nintendo Announces Sweeping Price Hikes For Switch 2
@XenobladeKisekiFan agreed but didn’t donkey kong interest you? Superb game!
Re: Star Fox Is Finally Getting Another Game, Out June 2026 Exclusively On Switch 2
Natethehate was spot on once again.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Doesn't Rule Out Wario Appearing In A Future Mario Movie
@Dimjimmer spot on!
Re: Nintendo Announces Switch 2 Pokémon Pokopia Bundle
Not much of an effort put into this but I guess they don’t need to.
Re: ICYMI: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Estimated Switch 2 File Size Revealed
I really want to support the physical version of this seeing as it’s a “proper” release but just can’t justify it after already buying it on PS5.
Hope it sells well regardless.
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For 007: First Light
Sounds good overall but I get what they’re saying about the character not feeling like James Bond. I kind of got that feeling when watching earlier videos, he didn’t seem cool enough to be bond. Still looking forward to it though.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For May & June 2026
Come on Nintendo it’s time you re-released Pushmo please. Surely it can’t be that difficult a job for your talented teams?
Even better a new game would be even more welcome. Thank you for your understanding.
Re: Dbrand Claims Its New Joy-Con Holder Is More Comfortable Than A Pro Controller
@Picola-Wicola @iMahvel_ you two clearly have good taste!
Re: Feature: "It Is Just One-To-One" - MachineGames Talks Preserving 'Indiana Jones And The Great Circle' On Switch 2
They did a good job with this game, enjoyed it on ps5 and it looks great on switch too!
Re: Dbrand Claims Its New Joy-Con Holder Is More Comfortable Than A Pro Controller
No joke the S2 pro controller is the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used.
I’m sure this improves on the standard joycon but I’d be surprised if it came anywhere close to the pro.
Re: Bethesda Reminds Switch 2 Fans Its "Physical Code-In-Box" Editions Of Fallout 4 And Skyrim Are Now Available
Not even a key card is very poor. I won’t be supporting that practice.
Re: Hands On: Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Switch 2 Port The Most Ambitious Yet?
@Jeronan how else would you have suggested SE dealt with remaking FF7 if not by using open world areas?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (25th April)
TOTK for me after somehow waiting all this time to finish it off! Loving it and can’t wait for a new Zelda!
Re: Poll: Do You Think Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Will Sail Onto Switch 2?
@Pillowpants wasn't being pedantic, just wasn't sure if you understood what you were saying as many people say that erroneously. No drama.
Re: Xbox Is Reportedly Having "Very Big Discussions" About Exclusivity
