@ButterySmooth30FPS And? The Switch 2 isn't the Steam Deck.

@TYRANACLES DLC adds plenty to the game. And, it continues certain story threads and gives others some great closure.

Fantastic news!! For the past few weeks, ZA is actually selling more physical copies than Mario Kart World!! The current gap in lifetime sales is only 100k. There's a good chance ZA could surpass that in the coming weeks.

Still not 60 fps?? And worse input lag than Switch 1?? How is that last bit even possible?

Every game on Switch 2 has extremely reduced input lag vs the Switch. This is inexcusable.

@breach187 It's about as non-competitive to get. You've got this!

The amount of people I always see asking for these items to just be given for doing nothing at all is absolutely astounding.

I play games for fun and rewarding experiences. Being given something without having to accomplish anything is the antithesis to gaming.

If I was running this ship, I would make sure every new stone was locked behind getting Rank A or a challenging quest.

He's coming... getting ready for ChariZard day tomorrow...

@Gen4Fan Don't be. Most everything in development will still happen. Netflix should be a boon for the video game industry in the fact we should see plenty more DC games on the horizon.

I don't understand all the doom and gloom from so many people on this. Considering the other potential buyers, this is easily the best outcome.

Love it. Wife loves it.

Spent close to $1000 on each at launch to get the new SD cards (1tb each) and some accessories (new cases, etc.).

Transfer of everything from Switch 1 was fairly seamless. Definitely my primary gaming device since June.

Games played (and loved) so far:
-Mario Kart World (love the recent update)
-DK Bananza (spiritual successor to the DKC and DKC2)
-Pokemon ZA (most fun I've had with a Pokemon game)

Picking up Kirby, Metroid, Cyberpunk, and Split Fiction for Christmas. Getting a new Pro Controller. Using the system explicitly now for 3rd party games like Fortnite and Rocket League (both locked in for 60fps and can game capture/clips now!!).

My 1tb card is now full so I'm going to need another this Christmas as well or I will get the new 2 tb version when that drops...

I mean technically ZA is still in first place...

@fenlix I'm referring to developer's spending their time to make a quality port. Elden Ring wasn't quite in the state that they wanted the game yet which is why we haven't seen it release. I applaud that kind of time to make sure the experience is as good as possible.

@the_beaver At this point, all 3rd party titles should be coming to Switch 2. Both because it's an opportunity to capitalize on along with the Switch 2 being powerful enough.

@fenlix Ports are handled differently by different companies. Don't take a port that was handled by Ubisoft to be considered the "height" of what Switch 2 can handle. Elden Ring and Cyberpunk should be better examples.

Why is this considered an "impossible port" when the game is playable on Series S?

What’s the deal with the Special releases? Are they just timed or placeholders for when they permanently add the tracks/playlists?

They really need to roll out more music quicker. All new games should have playlists available on release day. They are still missing several titles released this year.

The Aegislash for Pokemon is probably the greatest yet...

@Tyranexx Battlefield has never sold as well as top performing Pokemon games. If digital was included, I assume Pokemon sold more than this Battlefield.

@swedetrap Don't worry about dying on that hill... it's a very crowded hill.

My favorite Pokemon game of all time. It's just a lot of fun.

I'm excited for the next quarterly report from Nintendo to learn about official numbers sold.

Excited this was #2 for the month while only being available for half of October and only including physical sales.

Also, a recent report came out that Switch 2 sold only 300k units in October in the US. Can someone explain to me how that makes any sense? That's such a low number and doesn't add up for sales figures leading into October (June through September).

I'm surprised Call of Duty sells that well in Japan.

@Solid_Python different company. But Saudi Arabia is pushing for it.

Please give us Trump and Daly as playable golfers in this!!

Also that trailer makes the game look like a PS2 game on Switch 2. Is the console that underpowered?

Omg there's day one DLC for this game?

@FaroreAbhorsen As much as I dislike SV, the DLC did a lot of heavy lifting story wise along with a couple new mechanics I won't spoil for endgame content. Definitely my favorite Pokemon DLC thus far.

Mega Dimension is probably going to clear that for me though... very excited for this.

@FoxyDude It's a RogueLike game mode. Bananza did the same thing for the same price (with arguably much less content than this).

Hoping they show off more of that "area" that seems new... assuming they show off two more Mega-evolutions. Hopefully they don't ruin the surprise of who the big baddy is in the DLC...

@LightSpirit The entire internet could hate Call of Duty... and it would still sell 30m copies overnight.

@Axecon Gen10 is definitely releasing between October-December of 2026 due to TPC's timeline for Pokemon cards. Good news is that there should be 12 months this time between the Legends game and the Gen10 game (unlike Arceus with SV). Gives them more time to polish/implement ideas from ZA.

Going to be a little frustrated if the new battle mechanics aren't in Gen10 along with the catching mechanics. With some mild polish and use of abilities and otherways to implement new strategy features, could be an absolute game changer for competitive moving forward.

@Pillowpants I get it... but you also don't get access to DK Island or Emerald Rush without the DLC so...

@beartown You had to be there. We really didn't have anything better to play until Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country came along.

The best thing to note is, regardless of my opinion on the arbitrary rankings, Nintendo has a lot of really good games.

This list, as I noted on IGN, is all over the place.

Mother 3, Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong Country 2 should all be so much lower on this list.

Placing Mario Kart World well ahead of Diddy Kong Racing is absolutely absurd.

Also, placing Odyssey in the top 10 but having Bananza not break the top 20 is a choice.

Only a matter of time before Lego partners with Pokemon to release sets...

@OmnitronVariant If Nintendo has to keep updating the game after release, they shouldn't release it until the game is fully complete!! When will they stop with releasing unfinished games like Bananza and ZA? Way too much cut content.

@ShadLink You can't counter my point and then throw up exceptions. Keep you system offline for a couple days and tell me how many games you can play that you own. ZA doesn't even work and that game just came out.

@ShadLink All of my games on PC are physical releases as they should be.

@WheresWaveRace There are no "perks" with digital games. Ever.

@WheresWaveRace Don't tell me what to buy please. Pokemon is swill water at best and this game looks worse than ACNH and Palworld. And those games cost so much less than whatever this game is. And it has locked content to digital distributions and Amazon purchases.

@MamaSymphonia Because of Greedy Nintendo's virtual cards, you do have to "swap cards" just to play digital now too. If your system is offline for more than a day, you cannot play any games you "own".

@Alcea Right?! Boycott them all. Review bombing any and all Switch 2 games right now. Going back to Xbox for my physical games.

Omg and it's $90?!?!

Boycott Nintendo - do not spend a dime on their products this Holiday season.

And just like that this game is dead in the water. I will review bomb all Pokemon and Nintendo products going forward for this. Back to Xbox for me.
