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.

These are two of the best games ever. That being said, they're old games and $70 is obscene. Prob pass.

MASSIVE Indiana Jones fan here, and it's been killing me that I only have a Switch 2 — until now! Day one purchase.

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.

The DK Bananza Zebra theme is HUGE in our household. We all just start singing it randomly. It's an earworm.

Contra 4 but Terminator? Sign me up!

Not much to be excited about IMO. Maybe Pac-Man. Meh. Holding out hope for good first-party stuff.

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.

@Privatkatze Yeah, just a joke! Really do love a lot of the tracks, though. I love the early NES stuff.

"Got a Duck!" from Duck Hunt is such a banger

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.

A new mainline Mega Man game is my biggest wish after a new Zelda or Mario. Holding out hope....

Kinda wild the #1 game on this list literally came out on the Wii U.

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.

Have been interested since the initial reveal and am only more excited with the new info. Day 1 purchase for me.

Mario Kart World with my kids, and solo Wind Waker.

Pretty stoked for Mario Kart World, DK: Bananza, and Kirby Air Riders.

StarTropics: Remastered confirmed!

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.

Love the homage and art style!

This is a fantastic and emotional article! Thank you for sharing your journey.

Duke Nukem Forever: Sorry I took so long

Silksong: Hold my beer

No way. $399 is too much and will turn a lot of parents off. $349 is my guess.

So stoked for this. One of my all-time favorite OSTs. Whisked away back to 2011 with this on.

Oh, I forgot about this game since it was announced. Need to get it!

@KY502ShinyHunter SO much nostalgia for that.

@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!

@Yalloo Same, dude. I want to go in pretty blind.

SO EXCITED to bring this home tomorrow.

Fakest thing I've seen today but it's still early

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.

Love pizza and love the art style. Might pick this up.

This looks so awesome. Quirky ideas too, and pretty on brand for Nintendo.

Great game. Drop it to $40 and I'm on board.

Literally should have been there day one, but I'll take what I can get.

Wow, actual concrete confirmation from Nintendo. Can't wait for Switch U!

This game looks so fun. Need to dip my toes into the water...

My kid has some of those. They're trash.

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.

Didn't care for too much but excited for Contra and Epic Mickey. New Rare games added to NSO are cool too.

My friend and I used to play Snake Rattle 'n Roll SO MUCH back in the day. Looking forward to a playthrough.

Tried the demo and it's fine/cute enough. Would maybe pick it up at the inevitable 30% off discount.

Looks like a legit platformer! Might check it out.

There's no way it will be called Switch 2. That's not Nintendo at all. Probably something we haven't thought of.

Great article. It really is a superb introductory dungeon and those were truly a-ha moments back in the day.

Really doesn't. Game is perfect as is, and a remake would just pale in comparison.

Love that Mario and Zelda are up for GOTY, but part of me is disappointed that all the games nominated are either sequels or part of an existing franchise. C'mon, original IP!

Mario was intensely mediocre, so I have little faith in this.

Happy Bday! One of my fav sites around!

Wonder is prob my fav first-party Nintendo game since Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
