Sounds like a 99% confirmation that eshop/account services are transferring to the new system. Hopefully physical cartridges will follow. Nintendo Switch 2, baby! Fingers crossed!
@jimnorman Thanks for the great preview! How was performance during your playtime? I know many of us are concerned with the use of Unreal Engine this time around… Thanks!
I absolutely loved this game as a kid. I remember it being oddly dark, and a more mysterious Mario game for a different kind of gamer. Not sure if this new art style captures that same energy for me, but I’m still excited to see it happening. Kind of makes me just want to play it again on the SNES mini that I already own tbh… Still VERY exciting though!! 🔥🍄
I want that Guardian Amiibo! The huge reprint in MyNintendo UK was hard to watch, with nothing happening in the US. I don’t get it… Hoping a US reprint of all those BotW Amiibos is imminent…
I’ve committed myself to finally finishing BotW before TotK (and I have a WAYS to go)… Am I crazy??? Hard to see that Tears copy unopened on my shelf, beckoning me! lol
Also need to finish Resident Evil 4 (Remake) and Dead Space (Remake). And Elden Ring…
Sensing a theme here…
Which button can you press to add a headphone jack?
I bought a PowerA Enhanced controller (wired, no-gyro/rumble) for $27 and it works beautifully. Nintendo can keep their $70 drifting headphone-jack-less monstrosity.
@RetroGames Thanks for your really super-respectful opinion on one of my favorite movies… 🤮 Sorry you don’t like the movies, but no need to insult peoples’ taste
This game was a huge disappointment. I’ve tried several times to get into it with the physical copy I bought, but I just don’t like playing it. Besides all the performance issues, the combat just isn’t fun. It’s a shame, because it has a lot of potential.
That 5/10 is still keeping me from getting anywhere close to buying this game, despite how good it looks in stills. Anyone have updated thoughts on this after a few patches? Were there any patches?
Are the controls for horseback riding better? Please tell me the controls for horseback riding are better. After the release of Elden Ring and its amazing double-jumping horsey-thing, Legend of Zelda needs to get its act together. 😑
Blasphemous II looks a little too similar to the first game; was hoping they’d experiment and push the formula a bit more… I’m sure it’ll be solid fun, but still a little disappointing.
Ordered this morning, and my order was cancelled 3 hours later because reasons. This company is awful and should not be supported—I need to work on my self-restraint… 😑
Close to finishing Metroid Prime, enjoying it SO MUCH. They did an amazing job remastering this game; feels like playing it for the first time. Top 5 Switch game
I heard that if you watch the Super Mario Bros. Movie with the sound off and play Dark Side of the Moon, Candyman shows up behind you and roasts you with a fire flower. #facts
Power: player character removes their own head and throws it with targeted precision; head proceeds to grow tentacles and become a fully controllable drone. Wait, Axiom Verge did this…
Power: player character rolls into a ball and can move around to solve puzzles… wait… Met…
Finished the demo last night, absolutely loved it. I’m not crazy about the character design, but the combat was a blast, and exploring the environments and puzzles was good fun too. Music was fantastic as well; as expected, the whole thing has Chrono Trigger vibes which is just lovely. Ended with a really engaging boss fight. I am 100% sold! 👍🏼
Looks fun, but not a fan of the style at all. Every environment looks lifted from a Castlevania game. And those cartoon portraits and life bars, yuck! Gameplay looks great though…
Really enjoying Tactics Ogre so far. The battles can occasionally drag on, and I don’t love the group level cap, but it’s a fantastic game still, and really scratches that FF Tactics itch that’s been raging for so, so long. Recommended 👍🏼

Re: Devolver's Bleak Sword DX Brings Pocket-Sized Monster Battles To Switch Next Month
Nice! I’ve always wanted to play this; looks like a quality retro-inspired souls-like. Will definitely pick this up.
Re: Every Single Zelda amiibo Has Been Restocked In The UK
I hope they reissue these in the US too… I’d love to snag that Guardian, and the Archer Link!

Re: Video: Overclocked Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Smooths Out Performance On Switch
At least it’s a SMOOTH 20fps! lol
Re: We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie Frame Rate & Resolution Detailed
Kind of shocking they can’t get 60fps on Switch. This is an old game, with pretty basic graphics. I guess there’s just too much sh*t on screen lol
Re: The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Is Now Available, Did You Get It?
