@K1LLEGAL @Arnold-Kage thank you both!

what’s with the 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8? I’m confused…

being a stubborn Nintendo only system kind of gamer, my friend would rave about the original Kingdom Hearts back when it first released (I believe it was during the PS2 era) saying that it was his favorite game of all time.
with the reveal, it got me thinking that I should give the series a try.

Friday can’t come soon enough

sweet! I’ll be playing this game for the first time as I sadly never played it during the N64 era

as much as I love the Mario Kart series, this is the only Mario Kart game I never enjoyed.

I want a new Mario Kart. not “Mobile” Kart.

I was hoping Nintendo would drop the GameBoy/GameBoy Color games app right about now

my guess is that the handle wasn’t exactly there for portable play but to carry to a friend’s house/tournaments for ad hoc (LAN party) connectivity. I know Mario Kart Double Dash had the capability to connect multiple Gamecubes for multiplayer

wow! a very nice surprise! I figured Bluetooth support would never be

I can’t wait to try out each and every game I own tbh.

it’s going to feel like 2003 all over again; the year I purchased the GBA SP model and was in awe with the lit screen (never owned the AGS-101 model which was brighter than the original AGS-001).

the first game I tried then…Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. it was a mind blowing game as a day one release title for the GBA and more so with the lighting of the SP! I’m sure my mind will be blown as equally next month as it did in March ‘03!

ouch! I was thinking of picking this up for the Switch but I’ll wait and see if they can improve game experience through an update

I’m glad that I’m getting the first batch of the Switch OLED model 😎

the best Mario Kart game.

can’t wait to see what they’ll come up with in the next installment.

(I am not a fan of World Tour)

good for getting the game early! I’ve never had that happened to me either.

never played the original. kinda tempted on getting the physical version

personally, I love the 25th anniversary symphony the best!!

I recall playing the original on the Wii when it first launched and I had a good time with the game (I love the fact that they used the Wii Remote’s speaker as a cell phone).
the game looks tempting but prob will skip this one

Shield is my first endeavor into the Pokemon series but sadly I could not get into the game. with that said, I’m not a fan of Pokemon but it’s great that they have this app available for the fans to enjoy

it’s a nice addition to see April as a playable character! hopefully there’s more to come!

can’t wait for this one!

I think it’s awesome that companies like Hori and Microsoft are making these types of controllers. as for the price, it is expensive for the average gamer. but these controllers are not for the average gamer. these are special controllers for the gamer that needs assistance. I’m sure if they were more in demand then pricing would go down. but for now, it’s nice to know that there are controller options for all gamers.

thank you @JonComms for this video! for as much as I love Link’s Awakening and knew of it’s origins, I never knew that this game was the blueprint of sorts. great video!

I bet this game will be good on iOS and I know Apple Arcade is doing great business with such affordable pricing…but…I cannot stand to play games on my mobile device. physical controls are far superior than touch screen input IMO. sure I can connect a PS or XBOX controller via Bluetooth but I’m not going to carry a controller to play a mobile game.

personally not a fan of rogue likes but the presentation seems inviting and appealing to me. will prob pick this up later

sadly, I’ll have to pass…

I purchased the original on Wii U but never finished the game. as an older gamer, (who knows the original Metroid for the NES like the back of his hand) I find it difficult to get into these types of games nowadays as they can take up a lot of time. I’m sure this game will do great but it’s just not for me.

but be sure I will be purchasing Metroid 5 when it releases as I’m emotionally attached to the series and have completed Metroid one through four

@Williamfuchs420 got it! too bad it doesn’t have a demo as I’d love to try it out. or perhaps when there is a sale I’ll purchase then. (Switch gaming = huge backlog of unplayed games 🤦‍♂️)

since I’m the kind of person that exclusively lives a “Nintendo life,” I never knew of the existence of this version of Tetris until today.

coincidentally, I recently started playing more Tetris 99 and was about to purchase the DLC content in that game. with today’s announcement, I’ll hold off on the DLC and wait for this version instead. can’t wait!

I’ve never been a first/third person shooter kind of a video game player but I appreciate the indie companies listening to their audience and bringing this gem to the Switch. score another one for the “plortable” gamers!!

Gyromite for the NES

you know…that one of two games that actually utilized R.O.B.

the Steam Deck is intriguing, the Playdate is cute…I wonder which will sell more? truth is I don’t see any of these devices coming close to the amount of Switch systems Nintendo is selling

@duffmmann the library?!! 🤯 that’s genius!! I never knew they still existed!

happy 35th anniversary Metroid! (shoot, I’m old)

also, am I the only one here who remembers the tedious 24 character passwords that were utilized to save and continue your progress in the original NES? one wrong character and you were doomed from continuing your game 🤦‍♂️

Switch lite are for people that play in portable mode only and for small children. that’s the only market for the lite.

speaking of Joy-Cons, I have GREAT NEWS!

I have three pairs that I’ve owned since 2017 but would have them collecting dust since I always use my Pro Controller with the Switch connected to the TV. over the years, I did notice drift on some, some buttons not working on others and so on. oh, and I’ve also managed to drop one and spill drinks on others. to sum it up, I’ve been careless with these controllers to the point that I only had two out of six Joy-Cons functioning. I procrastinated for years to send them in because I had a fear I would rightfully be charged.

as a result, I decided to send the four broken Joy-Cons to Nintendo with hopes of not being charged an arm and a leg. I sent them on Monday, and to my surprise, they arrived back today! according to the invoice, they had to replace parts on three of them and they replaced one…AT NO CHARGE!!!

the Joy-Con drift may still exist regardless, but I am super happy with Nintendo for their repair services!

here’s to Joy-Con drift being a thing of the past 🤞🏼

good thing they tied a rope to the kart. tbh the distance to get good reception is very short so don’t know how far it could’ve traveled before losing it. also, all the debris down there is not exactly a friendly path for the kart as it can easily get stuck…

all this article has done is inspire me to make another track at home this weekend.

@JaxonH thank you for all the info

and thank you @blindsquarel

I purchased the original digital version of Skyward Sword on the Wii U eShop a couple of years ago since I skipped out on it when it first came out. my problem is that I’ve yet to play the game. and now that the HD version is on the Switch, I’m almost tempted to buy it impulsively without having played the original.

my question now is if I should purchase the HD remake on the Switch or should I play the standard original on my Wii U?

I’ve been a fan of the original 2D Metroid series since the original on the NES. I’ve played Metroid 2 on the Game Boy, Super Metroid on the SNES, and Fusion on the Game Boy Advance. in other words, this will be a day one purchase for me.

also…has anyone played Samus Returns on the 3DS? I’m tempted to purchase since I’ve yet to play it.

YES!! I was able to pre-order the Switch OLED White model 🥳!!!

I’ve had the “SANNEW” card since early 2018 and it’s been perfect for me and all the games I have stored: the right amount of memory. it’s nice to know that it was the fastest performer in this video comparison.

I paid a little over a $100 back in early 2018 for the 400GB card but I’m sure you can find a much better deal nowadays.

@GeneJacket @OzMikey that’s what I was thinking at first. “Nintendo Super Switch.” but “New Nintendo Switch” seems valid too. along with all the other peeps that mentioned “Nintendo Switch +”

those would be my top three guesses

I’ll believe it when I see it

as far as secrets go, Breath of the Wild is the DJ Khaled of the Zelda series: “anotha one!”

I’ve had my Switch since midnight of 3/3/2017 so I’ve never had an issue. my friends, on the other hand, have had issues since they decided to buy one early last year. they haven’t searched for one aggressively, mind you, but they do look for it when they go to their local Target out here in the US with no luck every time they go. if demand stays up and Nintendo doesn’t fall into problems with shortages of parts, I can see the Switch becoming Nintendo’s best selling system ever!

edit: it’ll become the second best selling Nintendo system. I never knew how popular the original DS was. it sold over 150 million units! that’s insane!

all of a sudden I have a PAC-MAN fever of 99 degrees Fahrenheit

I do miss carrying around my 3DS to see if any StreetPass contacts occurred. but it’s obvious that this wouldn’t come to the Switch. the 3DS was strictly portable and was meant to carry around. and although the Switch can be played as a portable, it’s not a system that can be placed in your pocket.

speaking of StreetPass...if it weren’t for NintendoLife, I would’ve never have known about the StreetPass community in the San Diego California area! great times there! thank you NintendoLife!

I’d love to see Madden! last time Madden was on a Nintendo system was the year Wii U released

although some of the games listed have come out in other classic bundles, I still think this is a great list. odds are I’ll end up buying the whole collection.

sad that they didn’t release Side-Arms though. it’s a classic IMO

I love reading up on Reggie’s comments and thoughts about Nintendo! he’s a class act!!

my nephews (yes, I’m old) play this game religiously on the Xbox. I’ll try it out to see what the hype is about

MK8D is the best Kart. G.O.A.T.

I love the original Shinobi and I love Queen so I might have to check this out

I will! I haven’t played this game since I was a kid in the 80’s. I loved this game!
