Are they coming out with split pad pros for switch 2 anyone know?

Yotei deserves some time at the top!

Just reminded me this is another game in my backlog I’ve not got round to yet. Dammit I need more time!

DK and expedition 33 are my GOTY’s so far.

DK is miles ahead of MK in my opinion.

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.

Great game, was much better than expected.

@Serpenterror you’re probably right but I’m still holding out for an actual proper Mario 64 remake one day!

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! 💪

What a great console the GBA was - apart from barely being able to see the screen with its terrible brightness!

Kirby forgotten lands for me, great game!

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…

It certainly feels like Nintendo are pushing 3rd party’s to game cards considering they only offer 64Gb SD’s.

Thanks Nintendo but let’s just make it permanent please…

Currently playing Kirby the forgotten land and glad to see that’s in the charts, what a superb game has surprised me!

@Sylamp ah sweet thanks, somehow missed that!

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?

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.

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.

This is a weird selective list. Why didn’t they just include every release? What’s wrong with Mario bros 2?

It looks like even Metroid isn’t going to be a metroidvania 😂

I’m nervous and really hope this is implemented well.

@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.

@spiderman0616 a month or two after launch?

@Thorgaer “midlife crisis bike”

Love that! 🤣

Good content, bad pricing.

The DK DLC feels it was cut from the original game to make an extra 20 a few months later.

The potential open world and bike have made me nervous.

I loved this game but not sure I want to pay that much for one island roguelike. May give it a miss…

Great games but at those prices I’ll pass considering it would be a triple dip for me.

Yeah I’ve been quite fatigued with open world games for quite a while.

Much prefer games like expedition 33 these days that have smaller sandboxes within a world map. Or 2D stuff like hollow knight and linear games like uncharted.

I’ll still play open world games just will be a bit more selective I think moving forward.

Yes! This (and DK) are the reasons I have a switch 2!

@Lizuka yeah is interesting as in most areas of the world we strive for accessibility, yet gaming often doesn’t follow suit…

Getting older means I have less time, patience and reaction speed for difficult games and these days. I’d rather spend my time with something I’m enjoying.

Don’t get me wrong I got to the end of hollow knight and loved it, just the thought of stressing out over learning attacks over and over is putting me off this time round. I’d welcome a difficulty option put it that way!

@Dpishere if you like Star Wars and stealth games you’ll love this. Or I did anyway!

DK well worthy of the top spot, what a game that is!

Just finished with donkey Kong (how did NintendoLife not give this 10/10?!) now might boot up Kirby seeing as I never got round to it on switch 1…

So team cherry want to provide value to gamers and others aren’t happy as they’re not providing as much value themselves? lol

Was saved by donkey kong which is an easy 10/10 for me.

Dammit I’m so tempted to double dip on this one, must resist!

How’s the difficulty compared to the original?

I beat the first game but don’t know if I have the patience for more pain as I found it tough. My reactions aren’t getting any quicker in my old age that’s for sure!

I had low expectations for this when it came out on ps5 but ended up loving it.

I was glad it wasn’t a Jedi story and the locations really took me to a galaxy far far away.

Tempted to double dip just to support it but have way to much else to play so doubt I will.

This looks very lazy - AI textures, poor performance, graphics from 2010. Not good and is a shame as I used to be a fan of this series.

Is Michel Ancel back working on this or did I imagine it?

@Thomystic ah thanks didn’t realise that!

If there’s a new handheld as part of the Ps6 family and has equal game releases with the home console I’d be down.

I see it similar to how the series s is with the x.

For those saying Sony don’t support their hardware like the vita I don’t think this will be comparable seeing as a handheld ps6 would be able to play all ps6 software and wouldn’t need its own dedicated development.

Slightly off topic but am I right in saying Mario 64 was the first ever game with idle animations?

It’s basically the game I got my S2 for so will be disappointed if it’s delayed to 2026 though it’s not like I’ve not loads of other stuff to play.

It seems to be selling well all round considering S2’s (relatively) low install base.

It’s so good it deserves to have a very long tail sales curve in my opinion.

@MrGawain what have rabbid fans got to do with it? 🤭

I really don’t understand why Nintendo are dragging their heels with this.

Yes I don’t know what’s involved in creating a dev kit but surely it can’t be that difficult for a company that creates their own hardware, has massive production capacity and was planning for a hardware launch for up to 8 years…

Why aren’t they getting as many out there as possible to get as much support as possible and therefore increase their chances of success?

Are they suffering from arrogance from the success of switch 1? This just doesn’t add up in my mind.

Finally a new wave race! 😅

Great to hear and almost makes me want to double dip!
