I think the Switch 2 reveal will just drop like the Xenoblade X trailer last week, when Nintendo are ready

Best guess easrly next year - if theyre on top of manufacturing the wait to have it in our hands from reveal might not actually be that long - you could be playing it in 3 months!

@Yosher they lost any respect i had for them a decade ago with their Alien Isolation review

That looks great from the trailer. I know next to nothing about it other than there are mechs and its the Xenoblade that most appealed to me from what i've seen. The trailer above is the most i've seen of the game, and now im really looking forward to it!

Its not just the fact it seems like a good game, they offered it at an amazing price, I think thats what did it - £40 and more people would have passed it over

Really looking forward to this, enjoyed it alot on Vita and happily surprised to see it make a return and will definately be picking it up for a trip down memory lane.
I hope the online components stay online for a fair while, I enjoyed that aspect

@gcunit I was thinking I bet he doesnt have kids then

I'm very curious about this, I completed Horizon Zero Dawn last year on my steam deck and really enjoyed it so I feel I need to give this a go either way though I think I would still prefer Zero Dawn (aesthetically)

@VHSGREMLIN my best guess would be for the next system, but whether or not what we're actually seeing is an early version of the game they're developing or not im unsure - they could have created this game simply to test their online instratructure to then be used for other unannounced title(s)

@AstroTheGamosian I've given up with the quick menu now and use the notebook to select echoes, a tad easier but still not great

I don’t have time to play Mario 3d world but I really do need to play Bowsers Fury

Stitch. is my favourite on the list, great game to chill out with

Looking good - I'll hold out for a physical for now as alot of other games to work through, Gris included

@axelhander just had a read, it does sound terrible!

Switch 2 is actually a cloud streaming service to your OG Switch Jokes aside, very curious what their test this month is and the apparent recommendation you should use TV mode and ethernet - guessing this test is related to 2025 features

@Bigmanfan likewise, I thought one of them was going to be Tomb Raider Anniversary

I'm not the biggest fan of Zelda games, but i must say Echoes of Wisdom i think is my favourite and am really enjoying it. Maybe the freedom to think like in BotW/TotK but smaller scope (I dont have that much time for games) so more managable

@TheBigK I get up easily with my alarm so I think that’s why it would irritate me, but good point for heavier sleepers it would do the job!

Personally i'd hate waking up to those sorts of noises, coins etc - i'd find it very annoying very quickly

@Toastmaster In that case, I'd love to see a redo of Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, but doubt that will happen

@Toastmaster @Daimando I didnt realise it was Sony behind this, just checked and it Guerrilla which is Sony owned right? I assumed as with past games it was Travellers Tales - wonder if they lost/have to share lego rights now. More interested in this now to see how it turns out, new perspective (dev) and all

Great news, take your time, get a great script and concept together and release an amazing sequel - I'm willing to wait as long as is needed for a great follow up

With there being no direct for september im guessing the pipeline is sparse now and my money is on the next direct being the Switch successor reveal, but when that is who knows

I'm not a framerate hog i.e. i dont need 60 to enjoy games, im on the other spectrum where i prefer a stable framerate instead so I'd welcome a locked 30 here

Doesnt sound interesting to me, maybe as a feature to walk through as you're heading into the theme park maybe but not as a dedicated facility - i'd be surprised if it remained open for that long.

Its a goal I could never have in a game, it'll take me a month atleast to finish this - good targets to aim for the speed runners!

I want what look to be analogue triggers under the controller (concept from a week or 2 ago) to be the real deal, this i could live without

@Zuljaras Let me know how you get on with The Last Faith - I’ve been contemplating that but apparently there’s a game breaking bug at the moment limiting the number of health jars (not sure if that’s right name) that you can get to 7. I’m keen on this but holding back as I can’t find word on if a fix was released or not.
Hope you get Zelda ASAP! It’s worth the wait regardless so enjoy it when it comes

@anoyonmus ah right I see, thanks for the clarification! It seemed odd at first glance

I’m absolutely no law expert, but filing after its release - could that even be valid an argument in court as it’s done after the fact? Wouldn’t it be like Cities Skylines releasing then EA filing a patent on City Building game designs (as they own Sim City) after Cities Skylines release, then going after them in court? ( random example I know)

I'm looking forward to news on their Front Mission 3 release

@RupeeClock I'd be happy (and much prefer) a 30fps lock rather than variable. Only Nintendo knows why they didnt lock it, maybe they cant with the engine

I'd be happy if this was legit. Legit or no, the leaks have been quite convincing. I like the analogue triggers they added to the joycon - I pressume thats what they are, the larger screen is nice though the jury would be out on quality as the OLED is great. For now I think Nintendo are right in more of the same, as I cant see the next console doing as well as the Switch (though I'm definately not saying it'll do badly - just the fact that Switch sold like hotcakes)

@link3710 i'd love to see Astral Chain 2 on the next console and hope they didnt buy the IP to just do nothing with

@Alpha008 maybe something odd like Nintendos submission process. Like you say it’s be surprising if it was technical related

I think the C shape on the square button is supposed to be a moon icon for sleep mode - put the console to sleep

@HatesCheese Truth be told in the UK I've had better luck ordering from Amazon for release day than Nintendo lately, however that fault most likely lies with Royal Mail not Nintendo

@Earl_Grey It could be very confusing, they'd need to slap a great big number 2 on the box and all marketing at least. Dont go for anything fancy naming wise if this is an accurate representation of what we'll get

If anything it gives a good indication of the size if the 8" screen size is true, just to put it in perspective with Switch and Deck

@dartmonkey that doesnt look great

@Switch_Pro likewise, very odd

I must admit i am quite convinced by those

Oh wow! I really enjoyed this on the Vita back in the day before they shut the online aspect of it down - I'll definately dive back into this again for nostalgia!

But they rushed the first one right?

Time to shift that stock before the new console!

Great game but the machincs were abit much for me. I dont have much gaming time now so i'd drop off then pick it up again and not have a clue on the combos

@Max_the_German I'm the opposite on this, i'd prefer a stable locked 30fps as im in the opposite camp of I dont mind lower frame rates, its frame rate instability that makes gaming uncomfortable to me. Wondering if its possible for devs to put in an optional FPS limit option to cater to both types of gamers preference. For me I like the option on deck to limit FPS, something like that would be nice to have but not essential

I enjoyed it for an hour or 2 but thats enough for me, got boring quickly. Cant complain at the price/value for money though. For those enjoying it, hope it sticks around for some time

@GrailUK that makes sense - I was shocked and very happy when Alien Isolation got a physical many years after release.

Looking forward to this, however I really do hope they bring it to the new Nintendo console too either via patches or a re-release. The load times/turns of Civ 6 on switch can get grating at times, wondering how 7 will perform in that regard
