007 for me and agree the pacing, characters, story and gameplay are all ace. The tutorial is so well done and the best tutorial of any game I’ve played. Kudos IO!
@Grimley141 yeah agreed. I don't think I've ever needed a new battery for any device that hasn't been user replaceable. I get the EU's stance on this but I think the advantage is outweighed by the disadvantage in this case.
It’s pretty much all I wanted from a new Nintendo console. The hardware is great though I do wish they’d designed more comfortable and ergonomic joycon, I don’t find them comfortable to use.
Donkey Kong was my goty last year and loved it. I also enjoyed MP4 and Mario Kart. Sadly a lot of the 3rd party stuff I’d already played on ps5 so much of it didn’t interest me personally. It’s great the system is being supported with games like Cyberpunk and Pragmata though.
Overall I’m happy and just waiting on a new Mario or Zelda like everyone else. Oh and I’d love a new Pushmo or even a re-release of the old games, come on Nintendo!
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is slightly thicker in design to accommodate fixings for removable parts etc. I hope not and also hope the battery isn’t smaller in capacity for the same reason.
Yes please I'm ready for some Nintendo blowout. I've got loads I'm looking to get on playstation but my Nintendo pipeline is looking thin.
I'd love a new Wave Race (or even a remake along the lines of Starfox), some mainline Mario and/or Zelda and those Prime 2 & 3 rumoured remasters please!
@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.

Re: Talking Point: One Year On, How Pristine Is Your Switch 2?
Have played mostly docked and don’t think I’ve even left the house with it yet so it’s mint!
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch 2 Revision For Europe
@Gabe250 yes you’re probably right, it’s the easiest and cheapest option I suppose.
If anything it needs a bigger battery!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game
I loved my N64 but for some reason never got round to DK64. Maybe now’s my chance!

Re: Video: 11 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In June 2026
Loved Rebirth on PS5 but not going to double dip. I'll be there for Starfox and Elliot though and maybe Denshattack.
Re: Call Of Duty On Switch 2 Includes Joy-Con 2 Mouse Support, Cross-Play & Cross-Progression
This could put the switch version on par with pc in terms of controlling speed and accuracy. Nice!

Re: Feature: "When I Saw Animal Crossing, I Felt It Was 'FREE'" - Yu Suzuki Talks Shenmue III Enhanced
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!

@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.

@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!

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

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 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 😂
