Played 30 minutes of Wario so far. It's good. Cardboard VB nicely made but haven't worked out my best playing position yet as joy cons still attached was awkward after a while.
It did hurt my brain though so will take my time playing through everything.
Was very odd hearing them explain what a Mii is. Very 2007. And no mention of importing your Mii that has been sitting on your Switch doing nothing since 2017 (when it was transferred over from the WiiU).
Still surprises me that this site only puts articles up after someone else posts stuff online rather than them boot their own switch up 5 days ago to notice the update themselves.
Not so much a Nintendolife for the staff I guess 😬
Looks great and no doubt will be pure fan **** with nods to previous games. I expect Mario 2 will just appear as a quick bad dream scene at some point.
Surprised no Yoshi just yet but was fun spotting Odyssey upside down Pyramid world.
Definitely won't see it until after the Easter Holidays in the UK. Made that mistake with first one and having a child say, "That's Mario Dad" every fricken time he appeared did my head in. 😄
@Ralek85 I enjoyed the P-Switch Challenges although some of them really annoyed me. Fair enough though.
I fully expect the map to flip and we get a full new world to 'explore' but with double the tracks and a 200cc mode as part of their paid dlc. I'd love a boss mode where they are Diddy Kong Racing style bosses too.
Classic GP needs to be added too. I feel like I got to know the tracks better in free roam than the game due to some only being 1 lap.
@Ralek85 Bloated and Pointless Open World for MKW. Guessing you didn't explore it (without using a guide) to find all 394 P-Switches, 200 Medallions or 150 Question Mark Blocks.
Bored within a day? If that's the case you must have got bored of MK8d in 3 days then🤣.
@Blast16 I recommend selling your Switch 1 to help... Knocking £140 off the price was a nice incentive and was surprised as I had a day one original Switch.

Re: UK Charts: Resident Evil Requiem Switch 2 Sales Comparable To Cyberpunk 2077
Apparently the Generation Pack physical key card version is a limited run so get it while you can people.
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Will Be Released "Exclusively" For Switch 2
The trailer I watched had the switch 2 logo on it. Not sure how people missed it.
No doubt Pokémon Fart and Piss will look great but have the same dull gameplay.
Re: He-Man's Arcade-Style Retro Brawler Locks In A Release Date For Switch
Looking forward to this. I did enjoy He-Man as a child.
Secretly hoping this paves the way for someone to give Thundercats the same love.
Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 2) - A Delightful Yet Difficult '90s Throwback
Lovely playing Duck Tales 35 years later. Using my SNES pad as the Pro 2 dpad is sh*te.
I noticed in the gallery we get the box art for the GameBoy versions along with the posters. I wonder if they'll get added at some point as free dlc?

@SillyG Gameshare.
Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 2) - A Delightful Yet Difficult '90s Throwback
Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers were the ones I completed numerous times as a kid.
Looking forward to getting these.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Leakers Deserve "A Thousand Deaths", Says Hideki Kamiya
Not extreme at all.
Watch out, people will want to cancel him next.
Re: Nintendo Seemingly Rules Out Virtual Console Revival, Says It Remains Focused On Offering Classics Via Switch Online
Good. NSO is great value for money.
Re: Review: Virtual Boy For Switch 1 & 2 - Is It Really Worth Revisting Nintendo's Greatest Folly?
I bought the cardboard one but my mate is paying half so we can both play through everything a little bit cheaper.
It shouldn't be in the expansion pak though but on the standard nso.
And really should be all the games on one cartridge included with the peripheral.
I'm glad it's out and gives me a chance to have a go though. I'll never play it again once all done.
Re: "We Thought It Would Be Fun" - Nintendo Explains Why Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Aren't On Switch Online
I have no interest in this as i only had nostalgia for Red/Blue which was catered for in Let's Go Pikachu.
This is no doubt a test release to see how well it does at that price point and gauge interest in re-releases not on NSO.
If you are not happy wait until it goes on sale. Or if you need it now buy eshop vouchers via cheaper cashback sites so you save some of your money.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?
@BoFiS
If Mario Tennis Fever hadn't just been released it probably would have been one of the first games for the VB.
We won't be seeing Mario Power Tennis on GameCube for a while for the same reason.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?
Can't vote as too early.

Re: Forget The Talking Flower, This Is The Cutest Upcoming Mario Toy
Shame it doesn't have a proper baby yoshi inside rather than the grown up yoshi.
I'm hoping the yoshi popcorn bucket comes to UK cinemas though as that looks epic.
Re: Gallery: We've Got The Virtual Boy Accessory For Nintendo Switch Online
Got the cardboard one today from the uk nintendostore. It fits in my drawer so I'm happy. Roll on Tuesday to try it out.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Super Monkey Ball DLC Update Launches For Free This Week
Have they updated the demo so we can try the Switch 2 version yet?
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
@Anti-Matter
If you still play a lot of games on Switch 1 as well as your PS5 I still recommend upgrading to Switch 2 as your Switch 1 games will run better on it.
Hopefully there'll be more Switch 2 games this year that sway you to upgrade though.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
@Anti-Matter
You'll have to considering you don't own a Switch 2.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Super Bomberman 2 (SNES)
I prefer the UK Pal version which was gold and not the dull black version.
Re: Super Bomberman Collection Gets A Surprise Shadow Drop On Switch 2
Put many hours into Bomberman 3 with my little brother. Definitely getting this. 😊
Re: Preview: Five Takeaways From My Time With Virtual Boy On Nintendo Switch Online
I've ordered the cardboard version to try it out. If I then feel the need I'll get the plastic one.
Thinking I'll have to kneel on the floor with the cardboard/Switch 2 sitting on my table with pro in hand.
Joy. 😁
Re: Metroid Prime 4 & Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Sales Get Off To A Slow Start
MP4 is a good game. I'm 20 hours in. I know the project was restarted but I don't understand why it still took them so long as it isn't a huge game.
The dialogue is fine too and it is fun driving about the open world bit which isn't a huge part of the game overall.
As for Hyrule that was great. Put 80 hours into that one
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Moves In On Switch 1 This April
Was very odd hearing them explain what a Mii is. Very 2007. And no mention of importing your Mii that has been sitting on your Switch doing nothing since 2017 (when it was transferred over from the WiiU).
Definitely not a game for me though...
Yoshi in May then?
Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked
OMG... They're putting GameCube games on the online service GameCube App!
The more the merrier, even if you've played a re-release or are hoping for a remaster.
Re: ICYMI: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Is Now Coming To Cinemas Two Days Earlier
Being in UK with School Easter Holidays kicking in on the 2nd where I live this is great.
I can see it on the 1st April rather than have a kid tell his Dad, "That's Mario" on every scene like I suffered during the first movie.
Lots of movies come out on a Wednesday in the UK though. No doubt Avengers: Doomsday will do too.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Surpasses 1 Million Copies Sold
Finished it last week at 100%. Lovely companion game to round off the BOTW/TOTK Zelda style.
Got 86 hours out of it which isn't bad for what I still consider a 'button basher'.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
@Anti-Matter You'd need to buy a Switch 2 to play it though. And we all know your feelings on that... 😂
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
Having sold the switch 1 version after completing it 100% I won't be buying it again.
Hoping we get a sequel or something different to enjoy in a few years time though.
Are we getting Yoshi in April/May?
Re: The Live-Action Zelda Movie Is Coming To Netflix
Clickbait headline of course.
Re: Nintendo's First Game Trial Of 2026 Is Exclusive To Switch 2 (North America)
I enjoyed and completed Disney's Illusion Island that we got in December in the UK as a game trial.
So hopefully we get something that isn't Madden next as I have no interest in it.
As I have a Switch 2 it can be on either console though.
Re: "He Is Amazing" - Mario Voice Actor Kevin Afghani Heaps Praise On Charles Martinet
Yup Charles is Mario, Luigi and Wario.
Personally I prefer his voice as each of the characters. But the new guy is doing well so far.
Re: An Overlooked Disney Collection From Digital Eclipse Has Been Rated For Switch
Finally. This was an ideal match for the Switch and any Nintendo platformer fan from the NES days.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup In Bellabel Park Has Been Rated
Wonder was a great game. Hoping for a sequel of sorts in next few years.
I won't be rebuying any Switch 1 games that get a Switch 2 edition but good for those yet to play them.
Re: Opinion: The Nintendo Console Nobody Wanted To Review Returns Soon, And I'm Here For It, Again
I still think it should have been released with the games on cartridge rather than needing a subscription.
If they add an option to play in 2D too I might consider it but I'll wait for the reviews.
Re: Poll: Which Call Of Duty Do You Want To See On Switch 2?
Splatoon 4 for me.
Re: Nintendo Reveals First New Joy-Con 2 Colours For Switch 2
@Nep-Nep-Freak
Because general consumers are thick. Means there is no mistaking these are for Switch 2 and not Switch 1.
Re: Switch Online App On Switch And Switch 2 Adds "Happy Holidays" Theme
Still surprises me that this site only puts articles up after someone else posts stuff online rather than them boot their own switch up 5 days ago to notice the update themselves.
Not so much a Nintendolife for the staff I guess 😬
Re: PSA: You Can Now Remap 'Nintendo Classics' NES And Game Boy Controls
Still hoping they release a rail-less version of the nes controller with normal usb charging.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets The Trailer We've Been Waiting For
So no direct then but this trailer is just enough and it looks great in 4K.
Roll on 4/12.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
Looks great and no doubt will be pure fan **** with nods to previous games. I expect Mario 2 will just appear as a quick bad dream scene at some point.

Re: Reggie Is "Surprised" We Haven't Seen More Xbox Titles On Switch 2
@AnnoyingFrenzy
It is but the nintendo games are a big part of the Online service so unfortunately I can't see it getting a separate release.
I'd definitely buy it.
Re: UK Charts: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Just About Scrapes Into The Top Five
That's a good placement really for this type of game.
I expect Kirby to do worse 😉
Re: PSA: SNES Controller For Switch Online Is Finally Back In Stock (UK)
Quick question. I got mine on Friday. Anyone having sync issue with Switch 2. I have to pair it each time I use it so far.
Oh, finally beat Super Ghouls N' Ghosts with heavy rewind use. Great having a proper d-pad again.
Hoping they do a new version of NES controller without the rails and just usb in the future 😊
Re: PSA: SNES Controller For Switch Online Is Finally Back In Stock (UK)
Took you lot long enough to report it as I commented about it on Thursday. Guessing you don't read direct replies. 🤣

Hopefully you will get to enjoy it more then 😊
Re: Kirby Air Riders Looks To Be Powered By Bandai Namco's New In-House Engine
@Ralek85 Bloated and Pointless Open World for MKW. Guessing you didn't explore it (without using a guide) to find all 394 P-Switches, 200 Medallions or 150 Question Mark Blocks.
Bored within a day? If that's the case you must have got bored of MK8d in 3 days then🤣.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Looks To Be Powered By Bandai Namco's New In-House Engine
I just didn't enjoy the game as without controlling the acceleration it feels like a mobile game and a bit like sonic on rails.
Having put 90 hours into Mario Kart World this seems very basic and just dull in comparison to me.
Loved the music though. Bored of the Smash style aesthetic.

Re: Nintendo: 84% Of Switch 2 Players Transitioned From The Original Switch
@Blast16 I recommend selling your Switch 1 to help... Knocking £140 off the price was a nice incentive and was surprised as I had a day one original Switch.
I wanted MKW and DKB though.
Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists
Obviously a no brainer for Nintendo at the moment.
I do think they should discontinue the original version though sooner rather than later but keeping the OLED and Lite.
Re: Nintendo Releases A Storefront App For Android And iOS
Weird seeing all my wii u play activity or lack of it. Switch really did rekindle my love of Nintendo and videogames in general.
Only thing missing is an option to remove demo's in 1 go rather than have to click on them individually to remove.
