If you aren't desperate to play them again just wait a couple of years for the Wii to be added to the online subscription.

Great games that I'm glad I got back when they were first released but have no need to revisit.

Roll on the next new 3D mario in November 2026...

@ParrakerriRush 3D Mario doesn't do that well in Japan either if I remember right. It definitely deserves to be over 1 million by now though.

Metroid Prime 2 (and 3) Remaster.

Metroid Prime 4 release date.

Age of Calamity release date.

Super Mario Bros 40 (35 sequel).

Mario Kart World update with new characters/outfits and Classic mode.

Maybe a tease of next 2D or 3D mario.

Good for me. Only bought MKW, DKB and Welcome Tour so far.

There's no rush but MP4 and Hyrule Warriors are next on my to buy list.

I expect 2026 will be the year things start taking off.

Last year they did the the buy 12 months get free 12 months for a friend offer.

Hoping that one turns up in November again when mine expires 😬

Having completed and sold the Switch 1 version years ago I won't be double dipping but highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't already played it.

I don't see a game suddenly dropping unless it is Super Mario Bros 40 as 35 was great.

They might announce the full title of the Mario 2 movie and some 40 related merchandise though.

Well, I loved DKB and MKW is great too which I will now go back to, having finished DKB.

MKW will no doubt be improved with dlc over the next few years and eventually be on par, content wise with MK8D.

Welcome Tour is good fun too and well worth the price if you are interested in console design details and a bit of nintendo nostalgia.

There's a lot of hate for Nintendo on here nowadays. Much more than when the Wii U was released. Shame really.

I didn't even notice tbh and played the game with the preset buttons.

85 hours 100% completed.

Do we know if there'll be any DLC? Any hints of it at all? The UK box suggests in game purchases...

This one isn't for me but good for those who are looking forward to it.

Mario Kart World hasn't got anything to worry about and tbh I think it is a mistake to release this so close to that.

I hope Nintendo think about F-zero and waverace next though as they have been 'resting' for far too long.

Looks good. If only it was Thundercats 😭

@premko1 So you want to play it like you are in an electric wheelchair?

... Okay.

@premko1 Be pretty pointless in handheld mode 😁

I've had fun so far. Unfortunately online ball hoggers spoil the enjoyment when they don't pass to you even though you do to them.

PS. Don't use your bare legs if wearing shorts. I had to use my chopping board in the end.

Surprised Nintendo hasn't announced their own mouse mat similar to the plastic one I got with Mario Party in 1992.

Completed and sold the original game so won't be buying it again.

@Fiergala

Did you actually read my comment. There are NO add-ons for Switch 1 or 2.

YOU ARE TALKING 💩 FFS!

@Fiergala

What are you on about? This has nothing to do with why prices are going up.

Nintendo hasn't released any add-ons for Switch 1 or 2.

@Medic_alert

Just trade your current Switch 2 and use the money to get the revised version whenever that comes. Yes, you might need to pay out a bit more overall but at least you can enjoy Switch 2 games til then.

GNAT Attack finally after 33 years. This alone is worth the price of Switch Online.

Always loved Mario Paint though. Very quirky.

With the rumours that this is planned as a (Tri Force) Trilogy this casting is good news. Could easily start off a bit lighter in tone with the story getting darker as the characters get older.

Relatively unknowns. Hopefully this will continue with the rest of the cast.

Fingers crossed we don't get The Rock as Ganondorf. 😔😬

I need to go back to Mario Kart World.

Due to the Online icon rewards I ended up playing Metroid Fusion til completion last week but then moved straight on to Zero Mission and completed that too.

Well on the 17th they'll no doubt do an update to add Baby Pauline and more costumes for Donkey Kong and Pauline. They might even throw in a few more Kongs too.

@Aerona Ahh you are one of them. Guessing you will buy MKW physical eventually then so it can sit on your shelf till you die.

@Aerona but not smart enough to get the bundle 😬

No issues with mine.

Surprised there's no poll. 😂

@PapaGlitch

Think all Amazon UK orders say 7th at the moment. Hoping mine changes too.

You can pre-order on Amazon UK again right now if anyone needs one. MKW Bundle and Solo.

I will sit looking at my new pro controller and GameCube controller on launch day.

My Switch 2 isn't due to be delivered til Saturday 7th though. 😁

It's a shame eBay don't do something. But with their so called 'buyer protection fee' they'll be making a lot of money from the scalpers sales.

Just put of interest is everyone who ordered from Amazon UK got a delivery date of Saturday 7th still?

I ordered on the first invitation thing they did so was hoping it would change to the actual release day by now 😭

"The downside, of course, is that leaks may well be possible in the coming days, so be alert folks."

So is NintendoLife not posting any leaks when they come?

So DK64 and DKR in say, July 2026?

Gives MKW and DKB a year to settle in on Switch 2. 😊

Well, in April I finished my backlog of games. Then, once I could save my data to Nintendo's Cloud I sold my Switch and 2 pro controllers.

I am ready. 😊

"Switch 2 is rated at 1.21 gigawatts" made this older gamer smile 😊.

Love the spine. Takes me back to my GameCube days. I'm getting the bundle though so it's good to see what I'm missing.

The console box art is on Nintendo Today too. Missing the UK version though.

No changes for me as I stopped collecting physical games a few years ago.

There's simply no time to replay them and play new games, so although I buy mainly physical, I sell the game on after completion.

I sold my USA N64 and GameCube collection over the last few years on eBay too.

Got MKW bundle for Switch 2. They'll support it for the life of Switch 2. And £35 is a bargain. With the £40 saving it's very likely that I would get less than that for selling the physical version in say, 6 years time.

I've also finished my Switch 1 backlog so I'm ready. 😊

@notreallyhere

This is the best response I've read on NL for years. Sums up my feelings too at the moment.

I'm 45, only ever had Nintendo consoles and will have only a Switch 2 in a month.

@AcridSkull

Sorry to see you go as a long term member of the site of over 12 years.

It takes 48 hours to delete an account... Hmmm.

Good job I know you in the real world. 😊

@Olliemar28

How about you do a poll to see who wants this type of news on a Nintendo site.

I'm not anticipating it at all because I have a nintendo system and it's unlikely to run on the Switch 2.

Are we gonna see more "news" like this going forward about every popular game franchise title that gets delayed because it might come to the Switch 2?

If anyone tries it can you confirm if you can move your mii's over? Thanks.

As usual people complaining about the price.

We've been playing MK8 for ten years.

MKW is worth the price.
If you can't afford it or are sensible get the bundle.

If you don't think it's worth £75 then why did you buy MK8, MK8 dlc, MK8D and MK8D DLC?

We'll no doubt be still playing it in 6 years time.

NintendoLife please do a survey of your readers age/location.

I feel like I'm too old for this site now.

Of course the Switch 2 dock can't be used with Switch 1.

Of course you can't use the Switch 1 dock for Switch 2.

Unfortunately society is getting dumber by the day.

I've ordered one in the hope that it has a better D-Pad for when I play retro games.

I do need to retire my day one Pro 1 though. Be trading it and my Switch once I have the Switch 2.

For those in need you can order it from Amazon UK for delivery in November 🤣.

Being in the UK, once I've transferred things over to my Switch 2 I'll be trading my original first day grey Switch in for cash.

Not seen it anywhere but will we be able to transfer our mii's across? I'm sure they'll add their use to MKW eventually.

@davowayman

Due to return without invite on Amazon.co.uk any day now.

@GravyThief

Me too. I expect they might land again with a chat button added. That and the nes ones without rails.

For anyone in UK not invited. You can now preorder the GameCube controller on the UK nintendostore.

Limit of 2 per Nintendo on-line subscription account.
