Well, this is a difficult sell for me. I was kind of relying on the Adventure Mode & extra stuff to differentiate from previous iterations, otherwise, it's just a slightly shinier version Mario Tennis.

Was an instant buy for me! The only things I would have like to seen included was the Bomberman 93, 94 & Mega Bomberman to round off the collection. Otherwise, I am very happy with the effort that has gone into this release. Emulation seems to be great!

I medically need the second one to drop!

Crusty jugglers

Time for adventure! Whilst not a fan of the silly early release perk in general, I'm tempted to boot this up tonight for that JRPG goodness ^_^

'Let him cook... something delicious and chocolatey'

@MisterStu I doubt it... or at least I hope not. I think Viacom own the IP, whilst THQNordic have the rights for distribution of the games in this collection. I doubt anyone involved in the original games will benefit from sales either.

Unhappy unhappy, no-joy, no-joy..

No Sir, I don't like it.

@Maxz Good point! I guess we have to wait and see how it affects things. I'm not looking forward to being on the receiving end of the incredible sniper players, but no change there 😂

Little bit worried about this Flow Aura boost. Just sounds like it will make it harder to make a comeback in the latter stages of a match and goes against the whole idea of balancing.

With lots of anniversaries this year, I would like to see something for Zelda & Pokemon in the next Direct, even if it's some decent ports. Also, can you believe it's been 25 years since Golden Sun launched?! C'mon Ninty, pull the rug from beneath us before the end of your fiscal year ^_^

Potentially 'Revelation'? Just trying to think about the plot, without spoiling it here of course.

@SillyG better that than endangered species in a blender

@Pillowpants They are now made out of marshmallows, with natural colourings of course.

It's all welcome stuff, for sure, but I still feel the crafting animation should be dropped. I also miss collecting specific sets of furniture (I want my sweet, sweet Robo collection)

@Kiz3000 Ah, thanks for clarifying! I suppose we just have to answer with our wallets!

Pre-sale items like this on eBay from individual / private sellers should be banned. Pretty sure there used to be a clause for this. When Switch 2 was launched, I tried my best to flag / report scalpers, but they kept popping up all the time... ugh.

Sending Mai congrats, directly to you!

I c**t believe they are censoring t****s again... D******h is the final s***w.

It's absouletly fiiiiiiiine, because I can make a coffee inbetween each movement 💩

@a1904 That's fair enough! Hopefully you have a nice backlog to choose from! Happy gaming 😊

@a1904 Hullo! Interested to know your thoughts on what characterises or defines a Sony PS exclusive in your eyes. Is it the vibe and genre that MP4 delves into that is a little off-putting to your tastes? When I think of Sony PS exclusives, Astro Bot games stand above the rest for me, which take a huge inspiration from Mario games and other platforming greats; they share common factors like a sense of whimsy with many magic moments, innocence and happiness. I suspect that this game series does deviate from some of the more aformentioned common denominators that the big N injects in the rest of its output. Nothing wrong with your preferences bud - just hoping to expand on your thoughts!

Lifesize Mega Starmie plush when Pokemon Centre?!

I still can't get over how low Twilight Princess is put in lists, but each to their own I guess. I get it's hard when the majority of the entries are fantastic, but to me TP (No, not toilet paper) is in the top 5 with OoT, BotW, WW & LA

Based on the reaction to Mackenzie, I'll probably just wait for Metroid Prime 5

I swear when Megaleg started talking that it was the OG voice actor Harvey Atkin (King Koopa) from the Super Mario World cartoon! Obviously, I know he has sadly left this world, but it conjured up nostalgic memories of Saturday morning TV.
Looking forward to seeing the new movie!

Who's that dog? Mr. Peanutbutter!
Thanks NL, I now I have that in my head 🤣

Yeyeee, now I can look up old games I've played for amazing stats like 'Played for a little while' 😂

@Chlocean @fenlix Yup sad times... It seem like every... “You Can't Say Domino's Without Saying 'Mmm'” ...other second another advert comes... oh... creeping in 😑

Nooooooo, just bought it on Steam, doh! Oh well, may have to double dip 😂

'A I Sports - It's in the.. making of more money'

Nintendo really to get more involved and hand them a decent engine. I'd also rather they took longer between major releases; spend that extra time on polish. The trouble is, they know it will sell well regardless.

'It's bigger than I thought it was!' Said the Princess to the Plumber

Thank you for playing! Your new Game+ journey starts here ^_^

Brilliant timing... just got back from London 🙄
Wish it were for longer though! Just over 3 weeks.... would have hoped for 3-4 months at the least!

Tis an annoyance that it can't wake the console like earlier iterations did with the OG Switch (I did enjoy shaking the controller to wake the console up heh)

DK Bananza has single-handedly won it for me. I do wish there were more upgrades early on (Xenoblade series, Pokemon Arceus, Luigi's Mansion 3 and loads of 3rd party games), but overall, I'm happy with the initial launch. I think they will need to turn it up a notch in the post new year slump with some exciting titles though.

Hmmmm.... lazy cash-grab springs to mind.

Well, the two HD2D JRPGs are on my radar, but the whole presentation was very underwhelming. Like others have mentioned, some big hitters like Elden Ring could have boosted my score, along with maybe some surprises from Microsoft, like entries from Forza, Halo etc.
Anyway, off to burn my hopes and dreams with Chillin' by the Fire; expectations dwindling, so gonna use them as kindling

@Max_the_German more like 40-45 years ago (time flies for retro folk) 😃

'Please understand, the maintenance will be done to allow the Hyper Ruby Deluxe versions of Supermarket Simulator and the GOTY Platinum Hentai Harem games to take centre stage of eShop highlights. Please take a look click'

Very cool! Something I miss from the New 3DS days are replaceable covers.

@Fiergala Beyond the Thunderdome and into the ambiguous extraordinary something. I suppose it's like looking at the ingredients of a burger and it just saying 'meat sustinence'.

@Fiergala It's not bad. I mean, we've seen worse, plus it's in keeping with Fusion, Echoes, Corruption etc.

The Stretchers, which had massive dips in FPS and stutters, now works pretty flawless on Switch 2. I have also noticed there is little to no slow down in What the Golf and variety of other smaller games. Fingers crossed for some official improvements from the big N on Xenoblade games etc.

@Maulbert My thoughts exactly!

I'm sure they'll be wrapping up news on extra characters available for Hunter x Hunter Nen Impact too - less than a month away now from release!

@Datasun_7 '... and I'm a yellow pig!'
Sorry, off topic, just loving the profile pic 😂
Still busy with the latest Ruin Factory, but this is next on my list!

@MrCarlos46 @FlyingDunsparce Just a patch ahead of the 24th July upgrade ^_^
