WHOA. I've wanted this to come to the Switch forever. Huge fan of these games/The Disney Afternoon in general (see my avatar), so fingers crossed this comes out soon.
@WaveBoy Yeah, it's an "I'll take what I can get" kind of situation here. I think it looks great, but the visual identity could have been changed a bit.
As someone who is very melody- and song-focused, the BOTW soundtrack is certainly more ambient than I usually like, but it still features a lot of great compositions in that vein, and a good amount of memorable town themes.
Nice! I had this back in the day — I can still remember buying it from a local department store — and had a blast with it. I assumed this would be coming at some point, and I'm hoping this means we'll get a new Mario Paint for Switch 2.
10/10 amazing game. It’s intensely fun to play, looks and sounds phenomenal, puzzles are well-designed, abilities and upgrade systems are great. Currently the best game to play on the Switch 2.
Kicking things off with a stealth section of all things! Ha. But I actually think they implemented it in a way where you can really be clever, covering your track and creating distractions. Liking what I'm seeing so far.
BOTW. TOTK just felt too same-y to me. Same map, same graphics. A big appeal of any new Zelda game for me is a new look and feel to Hyrule. Just felt like I was playing the same game but I have to build stuff. BOTW felt revolutionary.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th December)
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and I'm loving it! Kids are home on break so we're also playing a lot of Mario Kart World.

Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Super Mario's OG Game Boy Outing, Here's Every Song Included
Have been a fan of this OST for a while. Glad I can hop on NM and listen!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mega Man 6
NA. Pops more and has better composition. Love the Japan style, but there's just no focus.
Re: Mega Man Returns In 2027 With A Brand-New Entry For Switch And Switch 2
MM12! Obv wish it was 2026, but I'll take it. Looks great. Love that first level look.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Soundtrack Is Scoring A Gorgeous Vinyl Release Next Year
As someone who is very melody- and song-focused, the BOTW soundtrack is certainly more ambient than I usually like, but it still features a lot of great compositions in that vein, and a good amount of memorable town themes.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
These are two of the best games ever. That being said, they're old games and $70 is obscene. Prob pass.
Re: Round Up: Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 - Every Switch 1 & 2 Announcement & Trailer
MASSIVE Indiana Jones fan here, and it's been killing me that I only have a Switch 2 — until now! Day one purchase.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
Love the idea behind this and the representation, but the aesthetic isn't my cup of tea and I don't really dig basketball. Probably pass.
Re: Talking Point: Where On Earth Are The Switch 2 Soundtracks On Nintendo Music?
The DK Bananza Zebra theme is HUGE in our household. We all just start singing it randomly. It's an earworm.
Re: Forget Silksong, This New Terminator 2D Overview Trailer Looks Stupidly Good
Contra 4 but Terminator? Sign me up!
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Not much to be excited about IMO. Maybe Pac-Man. Meh. Holding out hope for good first-party stuff.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With A Mouse Game
Nice! I had this back in the day — I can still remember buying it from a local department store — and had a blast with it. I assumed this would be coming at some point, and I'm hoping this means we'll get a new Mario Paint for Switch 2.
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds 26 "Old-School" NES And Famicom Game Albums
@Privatkatze Yeah, just a joke! Really do love a lot of the tracks, though. I love the early NES stuff.
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds 26 "Old-School" NES And Famicom Game Albums
"Got a Duck!" from Duck Hunt is such a banger
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Bananza?
10/10 amazing game. It’s intensely fun to play, looks and sounds phenomenal, puzzles are well-designed, abilities and upgrade systems are great. Currently the best game to play on the Switch 2.
Re: Mega Man Is One Of Capcom's "Most Important IPs" Despite No New Games In 7+ Years
A new mainline Mega Man game is my biggest wish after a new Zelda or Mario. Holding out hope....
Re: Feature: Every Switch 2 Launch Game, Ranked
Kinda wild the #1 game on this list literally came out on the Wii U.
Re: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong
No way we're 13 years between core 3D Mario games. Odyssey did a heavy left for the Switch, and I anticipate we'll get one in the next year or so.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Donkey Kong Bananza For Switch 2?
Have been interested since the initial reveal and am only more excited with the new info. Day 1 purchase for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th June)
Mario Kart World with my kids, and solo Wind Waker.
Re: Community: Which Switch 2 Games Are You Wishlisting?
Pretty stoked for Mario Kart World, DK: Bananza, and Kirby Air Riders.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
StarTropics: Remastered confirmed!
Re: The Reason For Balatro Dev's Anonymity Is Pretty Straightforward, Actually
Balatro is one of the best games of the last few years and I respect this dude's decision to just focus on the game.
Re: Random: This Stunning Fan-Made Animation Is The Perfect Way To Celebrate MAR10 Day
Love the homage and art style!
Re: Feature: These Past 8 Years Have Been A Privilege
This is a fantastic and emotional article! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Briefly Vanishes From US Switch eShop, But It's Back Now
Duke Nukem Forever: Sorry I took so long
Silksong: Hold my beer
Re: Nintendo Will "Likely" Price The Switch 2 At $399, Says Analyst
No way. $399 is too much and will turn a lot of parents off. $349 is my guess.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds A Huge Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
So stoked for this. One of my all-time favorite OSTs. Whisked away back to 2011 with this on.
Re: Point-And-Click Whodunnit 'Loco Motive' Lands New Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Oh, I forgot about this game since it was announced. Need to get it!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES Library With Another Classic Next Week
@KY502ShinyHunter SO much nostalgia for that.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?
@Divide_and_Wander That's awesome. I've been playing with my son and daughter too, and it's so fun for us to brainstorm solutions to puzzles together!
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom (Switch) - A Bold Blend Of Old & New That Ranks With The Series' Best
@Yalloo Same, dude. I want to go in pretty blind.
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom (Switch) - A Bold Blend Of Old & New That Ranks With The Series' Best
SO EXCITED to bring this home tomorrow.
Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online
Fakest thing I've seen today but it's still early
Re: Video: We've Played The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom - Here's 15 Minutes Of Gameplay
Kicking things off with a stealth section of all things! Ha. But I actually think they implemented it in a way where you can really be clever, covering your track and creating distractions. Liking what I'm seeing so far.
Re: Pizza Tower Finally Dashes Onto Switch Today
Love pizza and love the art style. Might pick this up.
Re: It's Official, The Nintendo Museum Opens October 2024
This looks so awesome. Quirky ideas too, and pretty on brand for Nintendo.
Re: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Paints Up Release Date, Pre-Order Bonuses & Collector's Edition
Great game. Drop it to $40 and I'm on board.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Three More Classics
Literally should have been there day one, but I'll take what I can get.
Re: Nintendo Switch "Successor" Announcement Is Coming "This Fiscal Year"
Wow, actual concrete confirmation from Nintendo. Can't wait for Switch U!
Re: New Soulslike 'Another Crab's Treasure' Surpasses 100k Sales In Opening Weekend
This game looks so fun. Need to dip my toes into the water...
Re: Back To The Future, He-Man And, Er, Hot Fuzz Collide On Switch In 'Funko Fusion'
My kid has some of those. They're trash.
Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?
BOTW. TOTK just felt too same-y to me. Same map, same graphics. A big appeal of any new Zelda game for me is a new look and feel to Hyrule. Just felt like I was playing the same game but I have to build stuff. BOTW felt revolutionary.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
Didn't care for too much but excited for Contra and Epic Mickey. New Rare games added to NSO are cool too.
Re: Five More Classic Rareware Games Come To Nintendo Switch Online Today
My friend and I used to play Snake Rattle 'n Roll SO MUCH back in the day. Looking forward to a playthrough.
Re: Review: Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Switch) - An Easygoing, Kid-Friendly Remake That's Just Fine
Tried the demo and it's fine/cute enough. Would maybe pick it up at the inevitable 30% off discount.
Re: NES-Inspired Platformer Rugrats: Adventures In Gameland Crawls Onto Switch Next Month
Looks like a legit platformer! Might check it out.
Re: Talking Point: What Will The 'Switch 2' Actually Be Called?
There's no way it will be called Switch 2. That's not Nintendo at all. Probably something we haven't thought of.
