I accept that key cards are a thing but please don’t insult our intelligence by trying to convince us that they are “the most beneficial option for the customer.”
They are not the best option for me so please don’t put words in my mouth.
Not surprised considering this is just a webcam you can buy elsewhere (and use) for £10.
Crazy price but I really feel like Nintendo thought everyone would be on board with this. When they announced it it was like they’d thought of some amazing new idea even though we’ve been doing it for decades already at this point.
Maybe I’m being a bit harsh but you won’t catch me paying £50 for a basic webcam.
The further into the game I get the better it becomes. Not finished it yet but def a 10/10 for me. It’s so fun to play and I’m enjoying the novelty of character upgrades in a first party Nintendo game!
I have this case and it’s not up to usual tomtoc standards in my opinion.
There’s a large gap at the top when you put your console in which tomtoc decided to fill with a random cushion. Also the raised joystick/button parts on the lid don’t line up with the actual parts of the console. Small things but not their usual quality.
@The-Chosen-one @ozwally definitely CoH 2 & 3 with mouse controls would be sweet. Command & Conquer with Red Alert would be even sweeter! Let’s hope it happens…
I stopped buying MS products years ago for many reasons but one of them was their shifty practices. This situation hasn’t done anything to win me back.
Do like mine it’s a lovely upgrade even if the screen could be brighter and wish the chip was fabbed on a better process. Nintendo have cheaped out on that making a hot console with sub-par battery. Also agree with others that a direct showing the roadmap would be nice.
Happy but also a little underwhelmed is how I’m feeling.

Re: Octopath Traveler 0 Will Bring More Adventures To Switch 1 & 2 This Year
Damn I just feel the same thing gets announced over and over.
This direct was terrible from my point of view.

Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
Looking forward to this but I hope there’s some new stuff included and not just 2-3 year old ports on key cards.
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Will "Average" 30fps On Switch
If Metroid prime 4 can run at 120fps there’s really no excuse this can’t run at 60fps on switch 2.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th July)
After playing DK I’ve realised I can’t understand how NintendoLife didn’t give it a 10!
Re: Ubisoft Reportedly Cancels Star Wars Outlaws Sequel
This is such a shame, loved this game.
Re: 'The Knightling' Has Gone Gold, But The Switch Version Has Been Axed
Wow would have thought it would be better to axe the Xbox version seeing as the sales would be lower than switch’s…
Re: Doronko Wanko Trots Onto Switch Today
lol yes a bit of an unfortunate name in the uk!

Glad your S2 is ok!

@prw_88 what happened to your S2?
Re: Julian LeFay, The 'Father Of The Elder Scrolls', Has Passed Away
Sad news, RIP.
RIP Ozzy too…
Re: Around 1 In 3 Switch 2 Owners Bought New Pro Controller Despite High Price Point (US)
I grabbed one as I’m not a massive fan of long sessions with the joycon.
It’s possibly my favourite Nintendo controller of all time!
Re: Zelda: BOTW & TOTK Are "Transformative" On Switch 2, Says Digital Foundry
@AmplifyMJ sadly that’s how you get clicks, ad revenue, visitors.
The same reason news on the TV is always negative.
Re: Best Donkey Kong Games Of All Time
Jungle beat was absolutely superb. Is criminal it didn’t get more love!
Re: Prominent YouTuber Doubles Down On Belief That A Nintendo Direct Is Due This Month
I’m so ready for a direct, especially one with a Prime 4 release date!
Re: Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot Is Hopeful That Upcoming Switch 2 Port Can Revive Star Wars Outlaws
@Phil_Kil yes agreed, Han solo was a smuggler so it makes total sense to have him as the protagonist, at least in my head it does!
Re: Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot Is Hopeful That Upcoming Switch 2 Port Can Revive Star Wars Outlaws
Loved this game and was underrated in my opinion.
I may even double dip on S2!
Re: Random: Players Are Completely Destroying Donkey Kong Bananza Levels, Because They Can
@cylemmulo not sure if you know but you can reset the land if you want to. There’s an option on the map page.
Re: Random: Players Are Completely Destroying Donkey Kong Bananza Levels, Because They Can
@Spider-Kev depends how you play it. There’s always people that finish any game in a few days.
I only have about 16% of the bananas and played it most of the weekend. It’s not as small as you might think.
Also doubt you’ll get much of a discount seeing as this is a first party release.
Re: UK Charts: Donkey Kong Bananza Is A Hit, But Sells Less Than Half Of Super Mario Odyssey
I’m sure this will have a long tail sales curve and continue to sell well as more people buy switch 2’s.
It deserves to sell many millions anyway!
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
@Ryu_Niiyama same I only get this with FPS games sometimes…
DK has been fine!
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Bananza?
The further into the game I get the better it becomes. Not finished it yet but def a 10/10 for me. It’s so fun to play and I’m enjoying the novelty of character upgrades in a first party Nintendo game!

Re: Video: Switch 2 Vs. Steam Deck System Face-Off, Digital Foundry Investigates
Interesting comparison - like comparing a PS5 to a desktop PC.
Re: Mini Review: Belkin Charging Case For Switch 2 - A Great Idea, With Middling Execution
Damn that’s expensive!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th July)
Donkey Kong is so good, that’s all I’ll be playing even though I have a dozen other games I’m half way through!
Re: 1-UP Studio Updates Official Website With Its Latest Switch 2 Projects
@N00BiSH I forgot they’re the old brownie brown team. Always wish they’d kept their old name I liked it!
Also even though EPD area great team, is this their first release in 8 years?
Re: Gallery: Donkey Kong Bananza Players Show Off 'DK Artist' Masterpieces
I didn’t even know this was a thing. Nice!

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Update Announced For Switch 2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Can’t decide whether to get this on S2 for portability or PS5 as it’s half the price of S2. Help!
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?
Can’t wait til tomorrow this is what my switch 2 has been waiting for.
91% on metacritic now so glad most concur with NL!
Re: Review: Savage Raven By Skull & Co. NeoGrip For Nintendo Switch 2 - Does The Job Very Nicely
I’m holding out hope that Hori make some split pad pros for the switch 2. Loved those on my S1 oled.

Re: Company Of Heroes Collection Adds Cross-Platform Multiplayer On Switch
@The-Chosen-one @ozwally definitely CoH 2 & 3 with mouse controls would be sweet. Command & Conquer with Red Alert would be even sweeter! Let’s hope it happens…
Re: Company Of Heroes Collection Adds Cross-Platform Multiplayer On Switch
If this is supported on switch 2 with mouse controls I’d buy it.
Re: Anniversary: 10 Years After His Passing, Satoru Iwata's Thoughts Are More Relevant Than Ever

Re: Poll: How Are Your Download Speeds On Switch 2?
If anything switch 2 may be marginally better than my switch 1 but that’s not saying much seeing how super slow that was.
S2 is still slow vs my ps5, iPad or virtually anything else. Did Nintendo cheap out on the wifi chip again?
Re: Exclusive: Upcoming Fast Fusion Update For Switch 2 Introduces Photo Mode
Great game, so glad I picked this up…

Re: Switch Port Experts Share Thoughts About Switch 2's "Raw" Performance
@Sambuc yeah I already have Forza on ps5 but I’d double dip on switch 2 just to have it portable. Let’s hope it happens!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Love the image on the Japanese one but the layout is terrible.
Re: Talking Point: One Month On, How Did Nintendo's Switch 2 Launch Go?
One point that not many are mentioning is the pro controller.
It’s absolutely bangin, what a controller. I miss it when I go back to my dualsense and is possibly becoming my favourite of all!
