Two pair is too much for me, I fold with one pair.

@Old-Red you took the words out of my post. I agree with you.

@MarioVillager92 seriously, good job getting so many items for museum. I got all fossils, but not all the animals. I applaud your hard work!

@MarioVillager92 I bet Blathers doesn’t want you to find a bug. 😊

DK Bananza, Rocket League, Fast Fusion.

I love my new Switch 2.

Happy gaming everyone!

@WoomyNNYes I just put the cartridge in to play on Switch 2. Loading times are faster, but not as fast as I thought. (Rocket League load times are much faster for me now) I played Braking Bad: I think that sandstorm covered up a train; which is now visible on Switch 2. It does look better. Then I played my favorite: Gigatrack. The 15 to 20 minutes it takes to ride that track are some of the best of gaming.

@WoomyNNYes I don’t have that many hours in Trials Rising, but I love it. It’s one of very few games that I continue to replay over the years. It is insane. I really should start it on my switch 2 to see if graphics have improved. Even so: it’s still a great game and always puts a smile on my face. (Except for the difficult tracks).

@shonenjump86 I also just got the Switch 2 a week ago. It is great.

Bananza is great! Smashing stuff feels so good. Plus, there’s quite a bit of content on each level. MKW is pure Nintendo fun. Fast Fusion pumps the adrenaline.

And I can’t believe I am playing Windwaker, having never played it.

I understand some of the criticisms about switch 2, and available games, but over all I am over the moon with this new console.

Happy gaming everyone!

@tsim21 Congratulations on having a baby! I wish you all the very best.

I really liked this game, but I rarely go back to games to play again. If the review is good, I may give it a go.

Forget silksong, I want super little acorns 2.

This week I am playing my Switch 2, which Nintendo sent yesterday! I am so happy so far. Barely set it up, but Rocket League looks great. Downloading MKW now. And I have a week of vacation. I am so happy.

Happy gaming everyone!

If my switch 1 was not still going strong, I would consider buying another switch 1.

The past 7+ years have been the best gaming in my life.

I did like Florence. It’s rare I pick up a visual novel, but I like a good story and trying different things. Thanks for the review.

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.
