I’m still struggling to know why have a ps5 let alone getting a ps6. There are so many open world third person games coming out I’ve just lost interest. It’s just my high powered Minecraft console now.
I took a break for well over a year. Missed so much stuff. Back in it again now and don’t get fomo because I’ve missed out on so much already.
I just use the free stuff of which there is some fun to be had. 1 raid a day for free, some max raids for free. Usually 5 free raids on raid days. Can be a good motivator to get me to get steps in as well.
I'm so happy we're getting proper events again. Was so fed up of Unrivaled over and over. Hopefully we get something special like they did with Zeraora Shiny before we're done. Give us some of those Shiny locked legendaries.
FF7 original is top 10 for me. Really loved FF7 Remake but rebirth is sooooooo repetitve. Its new zone same objectives rinse repeat over and over. I haven't completed it because it feels like a chore.
I do like the battle system though. Much better than the original now.
No struggles getting them in the uk. Argos and currys have had them in stock constantly for weeks, or appears that way when i check. Still can't justify getting one. Maybe when Z-A comes out but then i can still switch 1 it.
I’ll be returning mine, Argos wouldn’t let me cancel it. I don’t see a need for me to early adopt on this one now. I still have lots of switch 1 games to get through. When a Pokemon game releases as a switch 2 exclusive that’s when I’ll jump.
@Ulysses like I said there has been a multiplayer fix put in. The Reddit lot seem happier with the change. I’m still waiting to see what switch performance will be like before buying.
@Keyblade-Dan that’s a bit harsh. Yes this was rough around the edges but was my second favourite story after black and white and probably my second favourite game after Arceus.
Agree with the other comments that taking time out appears to be them listening to the vocal fans and wanting to flesh a game out properly. Only time will tell.
I will be doing a second run once the switch 2 upgrade drops.
I suppose it’s like my ps5. Yes we can all play my library but only one person is using at a time. Maybe that’s why Mario Kart is so expensive as you could use one game for 4 players if you’re happy with split screen.
@Sonicka My daughter and I play splatoon 3 digital. Her switch has me as the main and my switch has my user so I can still play the game. We used to play the same copy at the same time. Is that now no longer possible? I will essentially have to buy 3 copies of the game for me and 2 kids?
Most announcements for switch 2 seem confusing and contradictory. Weren’t the rumours that switch 2 was purposely delayed. Comms should be in a better place if that’s the case.
Would be nice to get some positives for this console. This doesn’t work. This isn’t physical. This is expensive. We’re gonna charge you for xyz.
I hope it can. Both previous games are in my fave games list and would love this console to be able to handle them properly. I had to switch to the ps5 to truly enjoy the games.
I don’t trust what they say. The ypitched the previous game as a way to experience the events prior to BOTW but what we got was time travel crap so we weren’t really experiencing the events.
I have no desire to play another warriors type game. There are better button mashers
Turn your brain off and enjoy all the game references. The trailers had me sold. Wife and kids are Minecraft gamers as well so gonna be a fun day for the 4 of us in the Easter hols.
Can’t be UK based. Nobody calls Football “Soccer” here😝
I’d love a proper Sensible soccer and a good Speedball. I heard that Sociable 24 was a meh experience so put off getting it. If 25 is better I’ll buy it.
Watch them release it to switch 2 and it makes it run as bad as current Minecraft does on the current switch. My dream is that I finally get a properly functioning Minecraft on a switch. I resorted to buying the ps5 version which is soooooo good
FF15 and 16 defo feel more westernised and as such I have lost interest in the series. More epic fantasy worlds like Xenoblade is what we need and lots of totally unrealistic big swords and magic.
I don’t know why Nintendo can’t let the smaller companies be.
I have no interest in other monster catching games. I know(ish) over 1000 Pokemon names now. I’m invested and they will always get my money. I have no interest in learning any more from other games. Except maybe Agumon.
I booted this up again the other day for I think the first time in a year. I think the break got rid of my fomo (because I missed so much in that year) and I’m free to not feel compelled to play it anymore day in day out.
It feels to me that they’re trying to give older gamers some interesting changes in spinoffs. The mainline still needs to appeal to the younger gamers so they can merch the crap out of it.
Personally I would love more Xenoblade in Pokemon as turn based is so dated now. Ive been here since Red. I want some fresh changes and that’s why I loved Arceus so much.
All 3 games and their dlc are great. Hope at some point they can move 2 onto the newer engine as it runs like crap compared to the others now. That fight in the factory with some lv 100 drivers on Mor Ardain must have gone down to 3 fps. I had no idea I had won the fight until the game caught up.
I’m still waiting for the big ps5 games. Nothing has interested me this Gen on PlayStation. Mine is for Minecraft or replaying last of us. All of which I could still play on my ps4.
Nintendo will continue to win as they have the good IPs. If I can get hold of a Switch 2 it will be a day one purchase for me.

Re: The First Review For Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Is In
@MrDocena totally agree with you. I think sc/vi were meant for switch 2 as well. We’ll find out with the update.
I’m waiting for more info as this company’s reviews usually get slated.
I didn’t like the latest Animal crossing so liking the previous game doesn’t mean this will be great.

Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Today, 27th March 2025
I can honestly say I have everything I could possibly want on one system
My fave games of all time
BOTW/TOTK.
All Xenoblade (except x which I’m not enjoying).
FF7 original.
Suikoden 1.
Arceus.
Minecraft.
Subnautica.
Only thing I can think I’m missing is Last of us but that’s never going to happen.
The switch has been an epic handheld experience and can’t wait for more of the same with 2.

Re: Sakurai Says Japanese Developers Should Avoid Trying To Appeal To Western Tastes

Re: Pocketpair Recalls "Depressing Day" Nintendo Announced Its Palworld Lawsuit

Re: Switch 2 Predicted To Cost "$400 Or More"
I was a day 1 launch on the 3ds which let’s face it was just a ds with some minor enchantments. They priced it wrong and dropped it within months.
I can see the same happening again.
The switch has sold extremely well but let’s face it 2 looks like a switch with some minor enhancements.
The lineup will dictate if it’s worth it for kids to upgrade at Christmas. Maybe Mario Kart 9 will be enough but we’ll see.
I’m debating weather my backlog is big enough to delay my purchase till a deal is available.
