I’m hoping it will be called Switch 2. The name has gained a lot of traction, it is easy to understand, and it will feel a lot like the DS becoming the 3DS.

I’d love to play these Tomb Raiders. Apart from playing a bit of The Angel Of Darkness on Mac back in the day I haven’t really had the chance.

I know exactly what you mean. When I was younger I realised I was able to re-read a book because enough time had passed that I had forgotten what happened. And the world was good. 😊

I have to say I didn't know the man in this article and I've only recently become aware of Eiji Aonuma after this site reported he's played through Tears Of The Kingdom twenty times and has never got bored.

(I'm a Mario guy but I have played a little Ocarina Of Time and Tears Of The Kingdom.)

@Maxz Ahhh poo. I spotted that but got distracted by a typo that wasn't a typo. 😊

I do normally mention typos in these comments and the busy writers are normally thankful.

@Solomon_Rambling Gosh. We are going to have the article writer come here now and politely apologies for what wasn't even a typo, aren't we. 😊

I do like Ollie's articles. They are always good.

@Debo626 No. And thank you so much for being polite. This site is SO friendly. I haven't seen such levels of politeness since the Scottish band Travis's online chat page decades ago. 😊

@Solomon_Rambling Actually I read this wrong the first time as well and had to re-read the paragraph but as is said above Aonuma is 60 and Fujibayashi was born in 1972.

Well caught, though. I didn't spot what would have been a ten year discrepancy in reporting his age.

I really enjoyed a quick speedrun of Super Mario Bros. NES on Nintendo Switch Online. I got halfway through in the short time I had and it was a blast.

For some reason I love that typo in the Central Park Children's Zoo section. 'Super Mario Bro. Wonders.' Made me smile. I mean: what's he wondering about? 😊

Thank you Nintendo Life. You have given me a heads up on many Switch games that I had not heard about and that have given me hours of happy gaming. I appreciate it. Happy New Year to you all, writers and readers of the site alike.

I’ve finally started Tears Of The Kingdom and am up in the clouds. What an absolutely beautiful game.

@Pod Pandemonium is such a wonderful game.

I’ve just started playing this and it’s decent. Really fun.

This weekend I am loving Shantae: Half Genie Hero. Really fun game.

YouTuber Scott The Woz was just saying Skyward Sword is a very linear adventure, probably because of the limitations of the motion controls. Playing that game would be a good option for people who want a linear 3D Zelda.

I remember seeing Marvel characters when I was watching someone play Fortnite. That was fun.

Nintendo in Fortnite could bring a lot of people into using Nintendo products. But I appreciate Nintendo is not normally letting their characters be used like that.

@Duncanballs Yes. They are sitting on some great stuff.

Crazy Taxi please. It’s still such a good arcade game with the steering wheel and the pedals and that excitement translates to consoles. Wonderful game.

Circus Atari really caught my eye. I'm imagining it feeling like Breakout mixed with an old Game & Watch game where you have to move and catch things.

I love Atari 50. I fired it up again yesterday after hearing this update was coming to play VCTR-SCTR. (I love the twin stick Asteroids bit at the beginning.)

I hope you download and love this game. It’s so good. The music is relaxing and the gameplay is smooth.

Scroll wheel. Great idea. 😎

This is interesting. I suppose they are hedging their bets. Either they become like Sega not producing consoles or they win the console wars. Likely it will settle somewhere in between.

Game Pass looks good. I mean, people don’t complain about both Netflix and Prime being on their TV. Maybe there is room for Switch Online and Game Pass on Switch.

Over the years I've come to trust Nintendo. If you go back and use an old controller they aren't as good as the current controller but why that current controller is so good is because of the brave experimentation.

YouTube is on Switch, I'm guessing so you can search how to complete a level if you get stuck. Nintendo probably don't want people getting put off playing games by watching TV.

OhMyGod. I love information like this. It can sometimes make a big difference too.

Good article. Also the Wii U GamePad is really comfy.

Deservedly so. Game is amazing.

That eighteen plus app is a great idea. Nintendo do a good job of protecting children and I hope they use this app here as well.

I'm glad Japan get Goldeneye. What a great game.

I haven't played Jet Force Gemini so I'll happily try out the dual analog controls and play another Rare game.

The Split Pad Compact are excellent. The Split Pad Pro are really good quality but just too big for me. The Compact fits me way better and has the added extra of the rubberised buttons now going to normal button material.

@Liam_Doolan Thank you very much for this article. I had not heard about this early release and have bought it immediately.

I'm a huge fan of Turok.

This is such a weird controller but so good. It's one of my very favourite 2D Mario controllers.

I recently had the yellow buttons working as a right stick in the twin-stick shooter Debris Infinity. That was fun.

I was just thinking this morning: I hope they make the buttons re-mappable in a software update. Then you could use it as a six button Sega controller. That would be awesome for fight games.

Got it after reading this article. I love platformers. Played it and like it a lot. The beginning tutorial is really cute too.

8BitDo are excellent. Their Pro 2 is basically an SNES controller with PlayStation positioned sticks below. Control Pad is fantastic. Buttons are great too. It's my favourite 2D game controller.

I love the official Switch Pro Controller layout but I just got the not registering a down input problem. At that price if this 8BitDo one has a Control Pad as good as their Pro 2 they are onto a winner.

Completing Arcade Archives VS. Super Mario Bros. with the included save state so I can keep Fire Flower for every level. I'm then hoping you win access to all worlds from the title screen so I can practice.

@Lupaie79 what a brilliant idea. Nintendo World the game, including elements of all popular Nintendo games.

Sort of how supermarkets with noodle bars and pharmacies try to offer a one stop shop experience.

The new 2D Mario and the new 2D Sonic are both good. But I hear the second half of the Sonic game is not as strong as the first half.

No disrespect to Sonic but as recent as this interview all they want to do is copy Mario. But this might be a good thing if, like the Mario team, they choose not to release their game until it is ready.

Wow. Cool. Both these voice actings are really good actually.

I do like Twitch and watch people play games for a few hours at the weekend. I normally just use my phone but It did feel special watching it docked on Switch.

What with YouTube wanting to be child-friendly and Twitch having a lot of adult discussion I guess I can sort of understand this decision.

I would love a reversible left joy-con or the option to buy an official one where the stick and buttons are reversed.

I play a lot of 2D platformers and prefer the separated up down left right buttons to a control pad but I would like the option to have them at the top where the left stick is.

Good article. This is going to be an interesting one. It's a good song. I like it. But surely they must have been aware to make a child-approproate video?

Sayonara Wild Hearts is weird but good. The colour scheme is really memorable too. I bought it on a whim because the cover looked cool and I'm glad I did.

I also know Donut County. I need that game. It's amazing. Such a good idea.

I'll have to look through and see if I know any of their other games.

Yeah. I'm finding I'm really digging the joy-cons in handheld and the joy-con grip on the telly. I LOVE the separate button control pad for 2D games and the joy-cons seem to disappear and I just enjoy the game.

The Nintendo Switch Online GBA version with the e-Reader levels. They are amazing.

Oh that's cool. I can now find out what the menus say.

Also I'd love to be able to turn it back to Japanese. For nostalgia.

I hope it makes them all billionaires. I love this game. 🥰

This game is amazing. Actually it might be as essential for Switch as Tetris was for the original Game Boy.

@Jigglypuff439 Yeah I've been playing as Blue Yoshi just to get through the base game really fast. Its been so fun.

@Sam_ATLUS Oh yeah. Watermelon Game is such a good game. Gameplay and the music are both great.

(For people wanting it search Suika Game on the UK eShop. Its £2.69.)

I'm playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder. 🥰

After all this time being really pleased that the Zelda community got Tears Of The Kingdom I now have Wonder which is the perfect game for me.

Very happy. 😊
