Finally! Nintendo sent my invite! Hopefully soon I will hold it in my hands and see it in person for the first time. I am excited!

As my time with switch 1 wears down, I have returned to my island in ACNH. It is still fun to putter around.

Happy gaming everyone!

Does it come with a Switch 2? I’m still waiting for mine!

@Hoshiko Exactly. I don’t care what Nintendo has on eshop, but just let me filter it so I can see games I want and ignore games I don’t want.

Reading his book was great. I highly recommend it. He is missed.

@MeatSauce thank you for letting me know. That gives me some hope!

I told myself I would not pay extra to get a switch 2. I will wait for Nintendo email invite.

When I get my switch 2, I plan to try EoW again. I liked the game, but frame rate issues broke the magic. I played and finished, and liked it. But it didn’t have the magic of a game like link between worlds.

I wear my crocs as indoor slippers only. At first I thought I had to have these—but then I saw the price. Oh well.

As I wait for Nintendo to send me my invitation, I bought Snufkin on sale and loving its simplicity and beauty.

This past week I finished Stray, a great game with good visuals for S1.

Also, while waiting, revisited ACNH. I had some terraforming ideas, and now I am back into it. Also, in a reversal of game play, I am slowly emptying my 3000 item storage.

Last but not least: Rocket League.

Happy gaming everyone !

@OtterXPT I can’t wait for my Switch 2 to replay Grid. I thought it was pretty good on S1, considering. Are loading times faster also? Racing games seem to have long loading times. Enjoy your racing!

@Solomon_Rambling as one who likes the occasional cosy game, I have wondered what makes a good cosy game. I think you are right about personal preference, but even that changes. For example, when I first played Stardew, I stopped after about 5 hours. Months later, I tried again, putting 100+ hours and loving it.

As someone who loves platformers, Shantae is great. It’s not the biggest, the toughest, or best looking; but it is always fun. The dialogue is comical, the game play feels good. I look way forward to playing this game!

@MocawNow I was about to post the same thing.

I hope I make the July lottery…

@Jack_Goetz yes, snake pass was a strange little game. Fortunately I never played it under the influence, but I can imagine if I had…

As soon as I get my switch 2….

@DaGoldenBoo I haven’t gotten my Switch 2 yet, but I hope Wreckfest looks better, that game was fun!

I’m glad Grid works, I saw on an earlier post that it wasn’t. I look forward to trying out Grid, Burnout Paradise and Hot Pursuit when I get my S2.

Yuko’s Island Express was amazing. Besides the innovative mechanics of the game, the dialogue was also very good. This game certainly looks good. And a good soundtrack is always a plus.

Okay, I wasn’t super excited for MKW, but with each story I get more excited. It’s going to be good.

I’ve played every Shantae game, and I am not stopping now. It looks good.

With a lot of real world stuff going on in my life, I have retreated to the simple: Rocket League, Moto GP and a match 3 game. But those simple games bring respite to my brain.

Happy gaming everyone!

@karatekid1612 very funny.

@sanderev I think the news from Sony person is relevant because it poses a good question. Did Nintendo play it safe? Should Nintendo play it safe?

Echoing other comments, I will sometime buy a Switch 2, and 3 someday. I don’t think there will be a Switch 4.

@Xbox_Dashboard yes, tai chi is the relaxing one with slow movements. I wish you well on your cooking and fishing. Thank you for the invitation, as I live in Delaware in the US, you are probably too far away, but I appreciate it! 😊

@Xbox_Dashboard hilarious questions. I am always reading a book, but nothing good lately. Yes, a slice of bread please, sounds delicious. I don’t know about crochet or fishing, but for a few months now I have dived deep into Tai Chi and love it. Turns out there is life apart from gaming. 😊

Not a question for Nintendo, but Nintendo Life: how do you determine your Switch 1 vs Switch 2 reporting in the days and months following Switch 2 release? I forget how long you continued to cover 3DS after Switch 1 release.

I won’t be purchasing Switch 2 at launch, but hopefully by the end of year. I guess I hope that you continue to cover Switch 1 for a while.

@Dimey thank you for that information!

I am one who will not get a switch 2 at launch, but wait at least a few months.

While I do get AAA games, many of my games are smaller puzzle games, race games, which I wonder how their price will increase.

Also, a couple people in this thread mentioned already preordering, how is that possible?

@IOI Agreed about pricing. No launch purchase for me. Maybe I will get it by the end of the year. But no hurry.

I was just wondering how many games were on the original Switch at launch, and a month after launch. Versus: how many games will be on Switch 2 at launch and a month later.

I would assume the Switch 2 eshop will be easy to navigate with only so many games. Am I missing something?

60 minutes is a long time. This is great! I cannot wait!

Wow! This is getting better and better. Yes!

That was hilarious! Great work NL!

I absolutely loved Rhythm Heaven Megamix on 3DS. This is going to be good. Yes, initially I was bummed by 2026 release. But whatever—it is coming hopefully.

Didn’t have Pushmo, so I was disappointed.

Pushmo, Crashmo, and the other game I forget the name!

Yes: very good that they specifically say and play Switch footage. It looks great, and I had to stop video to avoid any more info. I want to go into this game with as little info as possible. Definitely high on my wish list.

I watched at 8:16 AM this morning. I think this might be the update that sends me to the store. It just looks so Nintendo, and I absolutely love game music and sound.

Shin Chan and the professor. Strange game, but oddly riveting. It definitely reminds me of Attack of the Friday Monsters, but also different. New Rocket League season! Moto GP 24, Rush Rally Origins.

Happy gaming everyone!

Yes, I put this on my wish list, but will take it off. One reason that I like simple “cosy” games is because they are simple and easy to play. This game sounds like too big of a hassle. I might wait for sale and fix. Thank you for the review!

Absolutely great story. Thank you for sharing it. While I have many great gaming memories, I will never forget playing Spiritfarer. Soon after I played it, I moved in with my Dad as he went on hospice and lived a month with him before he died. On the day he died my phone alarm went off, it was notifying me that a Spiritfarer documentary was being released that day. I didn’t watch the video that day, but I was reminded how games are important. Thanks again for sharing your story. I wish you the best.

@Axecon I really wanted to like Blue Fire, but it also crashed on me. I put 15? hours into it when I got too a boss I couldn’t beat. And I had been beating bosses before—frustrating. Hopefully you didn’t put too much time in it.

Robobot is a great game. The only thing stopping me from getting the figure is how to explain it to my wife. Hmmmmm.

Mentioning the Trials game got my attention. I love Trials Rising. And I love metriodvanias. But the difficulty. Yes I know git gud. And I died 5000+ times in Celeste. But the game needs to be very good to justify the time spent getting good. This game might be that good. Thanks for the review!

I’ve had my Hori pros for some time now and love them. Like others have posted, it’s too late in Switch’s life to get new now.

The Switch 2 has to have good joycons. The Switch 2 has to have good joycons. The Switch 2 has to have good joycons.

I am very excited about the switch 2. Having wanted a “Switch Pro” for years, I am happy to see the Switch 2. But: I may be less than happy to see a Switch 3 in seven years.

I would probably buy a Switch 3, but I might rather have some strange donut thing. I don’t know.

But right now I am so happy to be a Nintendo fan.

Neva is a great game! Definitely different than Gris: but I am having a great time admiring the beauty.

Happy gaming everyone!

Yes, it looks brilliant. But those platforming sections look challenging. I hope the controls are good and responsive. (Or the sections aren’t as challenging as they look).

Sakuna: Rice and Ruin is a great game!

My only constraint is not paying a scalper. As soon as I can buy a S2 at regular price I am buying.

This game is sooo much fun. The many Zelda references are funny and the game play mechanics work great. While I liked the various quests, it was also fun to just roam the island. I look forward to seeing this DLC.
