Pro Controller 2 is essential as I only play docked.

The dpad is still useless though for NES/SNES/classic games.

Luckily I use my snes controller for them.

I can't see them doing any special editions for a few years.

Once they stop making the Switch 1 standard maybe, which they should really do sooner rather than later.

They should discontinue the original Switch model now anyway. Then the lite once the Switch 2 Lite comes out.

The numbers will probably be like waves going forward as people save up for it.

This website is pretty much targeted at USA fans these days. It certainly wasn't when I started reading it about 15 years ago.

For UK people. Yoshi is £49.99, Star Fox is £41.99 and Splatoon is £41.99 physical from Amazon UK or just a quid more at other popular online stores.

As for the price of Pokémon it is simply a placeholder price. No point pre-ordering something that hasn't even got an official release date (ETA October 2027 ish).

Pre-ordered physical for £49.99.

Not expecting it to be brilliant. But looks like a fun but no doubt short game.

Lego is overpriced but the set does look nice so get it while you can. Remember to keep the box as it will retain its value.

I don't collect lego but I'm still glad I got the Ghostbusters Firehouse and Ecto-1.

Nostalgia overload 😁

Plenty to keep me busy til September.

I'm expecting a big MKW free dlc drop around the first anniversary along with the paid dlc release announcement.

They'll potentially drop more GC games then too.

Looking forward to seeing what they announce for September onwards...

Buy a Switch 2 people. Trade in your old Switch 1 to help pay for it if needed before the price increase.

Not watched the trailer to not spoil any creatures until I play the game.

Guessing it'll be quite a short game but as I sell mine upon completion it's not too bad.

@JackieCMarlow

Don't worry, NintendoLife articles will be written by AI soon too. Most of the comments as well.

I thought the giant goombas were another Super Mario Bros 3 reference (world 4).

Did you spot Samus' Ship?

2029 is highly likely though.

Perfect time to introduce Wario and WaLuigi. Odyssey a possibility as they need to build something to allow them to visit Rosalina easily.

Apart from King Boo have we seen normal boo's yet? Luigi's Mansion spin off is a must too (hopefully not just that reference in the 1st film).

I thought it was great.

It's a great piece of merchandise but doesn't hold much popcorn.

The Lumas looked good too, especially as my VUE had lit them up inside with LEDs.

No budget or space for them though.

The OOT remake rumour has been a thing for a few years now. One reason why i haven't played the n64 version on the expansion pak yet.

Seeing it with my bestie at midday tomorrow. Using Meerkat movies so only £3 each at my local VUE. Kids don't break up for Easter Holidays until Thursday so I can enjoy it whilst it isn't too busy.

Gonna pick up a couple of Yoshi popcorn buckets too. 😊

Looking forward to the 2.0 update in June for it's 1st Anniversary. 😬

I'll use it on Splatoon 4 I guess.

Well they did sell the PS5 with £100 discount at most retailers in the UK at Christmas. So gotta make that money back now. 🤣

Nintendo should hold the Switch 2 price but increase the Switch 1 price. Might make more jump on board.

They should retire the Switch 1 standard version at some point soon though.

If true I'll happily take Star Fox and OOT this year. If they delay Mario to 2027 that is fine too.

@N00BiSH Or just a Star Fox movie.

Wonder if Samus' ship will fly past in a scene too.

Thanks for the spoiler.

All for clicks I guess.

Are you going to give away the whole plot in detail on Wednesday then straight after you have seen it? Or have you not got your tickets yet?

I'm glad I'm able to watch it on the 1st in the morning.

I hope Jim Carrey still looks like Jim Carrey and not the clone that was at that recent awards ceremony in spain. 👀😬

I still haven't got round to using it. Maybe when Splatoon 4 is out.

For UK peeps. It is £20 and available at VUE from 1/4. No popcorn purchase necessary.

For Odeon you can pre-order from 17/3 but has to be done as a combo with Popcorn and Drink. (So most likely £40 🤣).

I definitely want to play it but I'm getting Yoshi's Story vibes as to how long this game will be.

Also allowing you to name the creatures is a nice touch. I name you 'Felcher'. 😁

@BleakStuff

Unfortunately NL seem to report things after everyone else these days.

@Uncle_Franklin Odeon and Cineworld so far.

It's meant to be $100 in the USA so who knows what it'll be here.

Is the physical bundle a limited edition worldwide then or just the USA?

Apparently the Generation Pack physical key card version is a limited run so get it while you can people.

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.

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.

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.

Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers were the ones I completed numerous times as a kid.

Looking forward to getting these.

Not extreme at all.

Watch out, people will want to cancel him next.

Good. NSO is great value for money.

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.

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.

@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.

Can't vote as too early.

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.

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.

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.

Have they updated the demo so we can try the Switch 2 version yet?

@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.

@Anti-Matter

You'll have to considering you don't own a Switch 2.

I prefer the UK Pal version which was gold and not the dull black version.

Put many hours into Bomberman 3 with my little brother. Definitely getting this. 😊

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. 😁

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

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?
