The X-Wings in Rogue Squadron 2/3 look better somehow.

Finally played it after a sale. Solid little fusion of Portal and The Stanley Parable.

Another Wii U port?

Obvious omissions are Tropical Freeze and Earthbound Beginnings.

Dadish is a gem.
Play it

That's great. This game chugged hard in local splitscreen on the Switch 1.
Might actually play some new levels now.
GameShare, is huge too. Now I can play locally with person on the TV.

It's a sin that it can't interface with the FRLG releases for trading and battling.

This is an amazing update.
Smash on handheld looks way better now.

Yep, $50/pop is way too much, and why add another Kirby? Of course I'd like a quality model of the legendary air ride machines, but not at this price.

@Broch83
TL/DR It's actually good.
XD is very different from most Pokémon games.
There's a (relatively) small roster of Pokémon you can catch (most of which you 'snag' from the in-game opponent trainers) it's focused mostly on Double Battles.

Why can't it link to FRLG?

That's a nice batch of changes.
Glad to see the minor Gooey buff, but most excited to see Swerve Star.
With a faster charger and stronger boost it should feel closer to the GameCube original than it has so far.

@dartmonkey any chance of a review now that this game has a movie adaptation?

@Agent_P
too expensive lol I just use my old controllers

@Agent_P
That's when I switch to a real GC controller.

@BranSmith
audible sigh

Wasn't sure what to think about this game until the demo.
Then I really enjoyed the demo.
Hoping it isn't a Game Key Card release, not sure whether that's been announced yet.

Looks like gen 1 pandering, except that Furfrou is in the playfield background art for some reason.

The ultimate flex, and something I'd actually buy, is a reprint of the original Gen 1 GB games.
But not actually a reprint, but instead a bugfixed version with minor new content included, still running on an original Game Boy, ideally still compatible via trade with the original game carts.

Gen 1 pandering again?

Looks like a better Indy story than the last two movies.

Scarfy top tier now

Gameshare is pretty sweet. Now I can play locally between my Switch 1&2 without doing spitscreen.

@rushiosan
It needs a 6-point 40-card deck format where the three points you score for KOing a Mega actually matter.

Should have the iconic Megaton Hammer included for bashing Ganon while the Master Sword sits off to the side for half the fight.
Edit: Oh it does! Neat!

That's a lot of legalese. But what does it mean?

Always nice when Nintendo stuff actually goes on sale.

This article has mixed currency symbols, likely a mistake regarding millions vs. billions, and even a typo of the CEO's name. @Olliemar28, could you give this another pass? Just want to make sure everything you're reporting is accurate.

@OHB123
Bruh's only 1/3 done.
You gotta play the Drageaux redemption arc my man.

@OHB123
So did you merely beat world 23 or did you make it through the true final world 69?

Kirby is not #1, therefore, this entire list is invalid.

I already earned the Santa Hat using the airplane mode exploit!
But I'm glad the event is happening again for real, and I LOVE the Christmas decor in-game.

I'm of the opinion that using gen AI for simple things (trees, natural terrain, in-between animation frames etc.) is fine.
Or if you're building a meta level that is supposed to be a cringe ai-generated zone.
But that's basically it.

@Nintendoh
I know what it requires.
Predatory microtransactions, daily FOMO challenges, and the likenesses of all the current most popular players.

Dear Brits:
Put down the Football Club (it's the EXACT SAME as last year) and play Kirby!

Shadows is a good game.
Nothing spectacular, but not the common thread in all of the above comments: The people who dropped essentially only played the (bad) tutorial.
Once you actually start playing the game and understand the strategic depth it offers, it's a very fun time.
And it isn't a predatory gacha like Heroes.

@BaldB3lper78
Perfect time to buy

@PJOReilly Something is wrong here, Cappy and Gooey have the same conditions listed.

That System Transfer bug happened to me. It sucked. Took a month and shipping both consoles to Nintendo to get it resolved (Nintendo covered shipping, of course)
Thankfully, I lost no save data.

This is another reason that I hate game key cards.
Normal game cards, even with a game that requires an update or has major DLC still save ~1-32GB of storage space apiece. Even dumb incomplete titles like the Switch 1's BioShock collection save you quite a bit that way.

Way better for this to be public beforehand instead of having someone book a flight just to visit and find out that they can't participate.

Translation: It's cheaper, so our executives like it and project this mentality onto our userbase.

Wow, even a pre-rendered trailer has pop-in when it's Pokémon!

@BrewsterTea
I'm pretty sure the books and blocks are launching globally in January.

@SwitchplayerJohn
I've tried it with Bananza and was disappointed, but haven't tried a game like Clubhouse Games or (obviously) Age of Imprisonment where the Switch 2 generates two full separate screens.

Not a single review discusses the GameShare functionality for single-game-card separate-screen local multiplayer.
Sigh.

@PJOReilly
PLEASE add a section about local GameShare Co-op.
I really want to know if it is functional (meaning at least 30FPS on both systems with minimal lag) to run my Switch 2 on the television and have a second player in the same room on a Switch 1.

The interesting thing here is that the 'Expansion Pass' wasn't mentioned.
Does that mean that if a Gamecube or N64 item is included that NSO (Non-expansion pass) subscribers will get access to a single game on each of those?
Will the GameCube game be the original Animal Crossing, which would then allow you to spin up NES games inside that?
How deep can the inception go?

@Bolt_Strike
I had friends to play with.

@dr-gorgo
$25/disk?
That's about standard for vinyl releases nowadays.
