I don't have a Switch 2 but I have played on one. The screen is impressive, but I really want a Lite version that's more compact. I play almost 100% handheld, and it's just not a very good handheld. I already have a Steam Deck which is great apart from the battery life and large size. Switch 2 feels just like that only less ergonomic.
On top of that, there aren't any Switch 2 exclusive games that I care about. Only DK looks interesting, but if I never get to play it I won't feel like I'm missing out.

I'm hoping for Silksong DLC to be officially announced. And a physical release.

I don't have a 4K TV and don't have a Switch 2 so I'm very happy just to be able to play the game. And 60fps is the cherry on top.

@somnambulance Did they confirm 2026? I thought it was still supposed to release 2025.

I didn't like the demo when I played with the whip weapon. Then I replayed with the swords and really enjoyed it. I've already got eshop funds set aside to purchase the game when it releases.

I've already got it on PS4 and Steam Deck, but I hope this turns out well for everyone who doesn't already own the game.

I just bought this a few weeks ago on PS4 and completed it. Didn't care about the story telling at all, but the puzzles were utter genius. Really good time.

@Duncanballs I agree. There are some older games like Call of Duty 4 and Halo that I believe would sell very well if ported to Switch for $20 or less.

Even if it's not the ultimate version, I'm happy this came to Switch 1 and runs well. Switch is really lacking in this sort of cinematic adventure game.

Really hope this makes it to Switch 1

It's true. This is the best in the series and the fact it hasn't been re-released on Switch is tragic.
Most Wanted 2012 on the WiiU wasn't quite as good but was still a really good game.

Tomb Raider for me. So glad it's on the original Switch.

Looks promising. Hope it reviews decently. We play a lot of multiplayer in my house.

@JumpingJackson Here's another perspective... Personally, I own a PS4, Switch, and Steam Deck, all of which are options for playing this game. In fact, I already own this game on Steam Deck but have only played about an hour of it. And I'll be buying it on Switch. My reason? I prefer the small form factor of playing games handheld on the Switch Lite. It just feels better to me. I'd rather play with worse graphics on my Switch Lite than better graphics on my Steam Deck or on the TV with my PS4. Though I love a lot about the Steam Deck, I spend way more time playing my Switch Lite due to the compact size (and quieter motor). It's also a big part of why I don't want to buy a Switch 2 system until they make a smaller version.

Here is a video of the game running 30fps on the original Switch, for those interested.

Brings me great joy seeing TotK properly respected above BotW.

However, having Viewtiful Joe, F-Zero GX, and Donkey Kong Country 2 all ranked so low is offensive. Those are easily some of the best games ever.

1.This feels like something that Dunkey would post on his YouTube channel.

2. The DK rap always was and always will be amazing.

3. If you want to hear an awesome Kirby song...

"I tried shooting him with a missile, but it didn’t do anything.

This sentence gets funnier every time I read it 🤣

Silksong is my GOTY, but I really want Pipistrello to get more attention as that's my 2nd favorite GOTY. Considering how off-putting i found the artstyle initially, I could not have imagined how much fun I'd end up having with it.

If I had a Switch 2, I'd pick up Squirrel with a Gun.

I did my 2nd playthrough earlier this year. Replaying it right after replaying BotW really brought into focus how much better TotK is. I will never be able to go back to BotW again. The world is so much less fun to explore in BotW, plus resources are so much more useful in TotK.

Calling a trailer drop a "Nintendo Direct" seems... ehhh

I've been here 15 years!
I remember signing up in 2010 so I could win a free copy of the Wiiware game Groovin' Blocks.
I got the game for free, loved it, and I've been here ever since.

Donkey Kong Country 2
Pikmin 3
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Starfox 64
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Hollow Knight
Majora's Mask
Tears of the Kingdom
Body Harvest
Jet Force Gemini
Cuphead
F-Zero GX
Viewtiful Joe
Rogue Leader
DK Jungle Beat
Goldeneye

Some of my top choices off the top of my head.

Windswept looks so good. If it reviews well I won't even wait for a discount.

I was actually really excited this was coming to Switch. Oh well

The coloring, lettering, and signage is much better in NA version. Far crisper.

All I played in September and October was Silksong 🤷‍♂️

I would like to try this. Will it be released digitally or only physically?

Thanks for the reminder about this game. I'm definitely going to get it.

I can't believe we didn't get the classic Tekken games on Switch.

I love how it specifies "Game cart included" in the trailer 👌

I thought this was announced several weeks ago but apparently it was Deus Ex I'm thinking of. I've never played either and somehow in my brain they're the same game 🙃

NSO if I play them, but I have played my favorite NES games so many times that I don't really go back to them much.
The main one I still replay occasionally is Adventure of Link.

@Gaymer90 That was a great explanation. Thanks!
You just made me think of a game that is super addictive for me, and that is the original Steamworld Dig. Thankfully it's a short game that probably only takes me 3-4 hours, but every time I play it, I'm completely locked in and can't stop until it's over.

"Switch 2 look like somewhat of a bargain by comparison, priced at... £449.99 in the US"

I forgot all about that time we in the USA got taken over by England 😄

@JackieCMarlow I'm curious what makes you think that? Both are games that frequently have players sink hundreds of hours into them. I've heard fans of both talking consistently about losing sleep because they can't stop playing. Sounds like addictive time sinks to me.

It's funny... games that are designed to be addictive time sinks never are for me. Games like this, Vampire Survivors, Stardew Valley, Pokémon, etc just tend to put me off. I did like Balatro, but only enough to play for 6 hours or so.

Anyway, this game seems really cool for those interested. I'm just intrigued by the way different games psychologically click (or don't) for different gamers.

@GregamanX Yeah, world 3 was definitely the most frustrating. Surprisingly, I found world 4 and 5 much more enjoyable.

@GregamanX That's fair. CATO does get super challenging at points, although I found it way more attainable than Baba is You, which I feel like you have to be an absolute genius to beat. I'm no genius but I did complete CATO.

Did you use the hint system? It's pretty great since it's vague enough not to hand you the answer, but also clear enough to nudge you in the right direction.

Ignoring the confusing "new" moniker, I've bought 32 games this year. Most of those were on a deep sale though, like $2-$7.

The most expensive games I've gotten this year were Silksong ($20), Metal Gear Solid collection ($25), and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker ($28).

By the end of the year, I'll buy Mario Galaxy 2 ($40) and Metroid Prime 4 ($60). Those will be my big purchases for the year.

Guys, it's official... Nintendo is for babies 😉

The music reminds me of Untitled Goose Game.

I like this game but a 9 feels far too generous. I beat the original a few months ago and it's an enjoyable little adventure, but it's nothing memorable at all. You'll play it one time and never think about it again kind of game. On top of that, some of the platforming is legitimately terrible.

@DennyCrane
Did you find playing it handheld to be annoying? I really want to have Galaxy 2 on my Switch to play handheld, but I'm seeing all of these negative comments about it being "unplayable" undocked.
Did you use the gyro controls or the pointer controls or the right stick?

I've been on Act 2 for a long while now and never saw the Last Judge. I fought Phantom in the Exhaust Organ and that was the end of Act 1 for me.

Darn, I was hoping they would patch the price 😄

This is my favorite Mario game ever. Even if this release is overpriced, I'm so excited to have Galaxy 2 on my Switch.

I'm glad there are touch controls in handheld.

The fact that she took a photo while holding a Bulborb is enough to give me great confidence in her.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant @RiasGremory @Wewewi
What's wrong with Aspyr? I thought they remastered Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain. Weren't both of those collections well received? I've never played an Aspyr game but this is the first I've heard shade thrown at them. What did I miss?

Maximo:Ghosts to Glory brought this series into 3D and is one of my favorite games of all time. Too bad it's stuck on the PS2. I'd LOVE to have a Switch port.

Most reviews I've seen have been way more positive about this game. Personally, I'm very interested in it. I don't mind a shorter length when it's a co-op game. This looks like something I'll really enjoy with my kids.
