Honestly very disappointed in this game. I've seen tons of gameplay and it doesn't look anywhere even close to the level of polish a game this expensive should have. You can definitely tell this was a rush job to port this to switch 2.
That's too much considering the low quality of Pokemon games. Then again, they know that people will buy anything regardless of the price if it says Pokemon on it so it makes sense.
They dont like that others are doing monster catching games better than them. Considering its been over two decades since the last good pokemon game, I'm glad palworld is rising from pokemons ashes.
@johnvboy I've watched the reveal trailer a few times now and it really doesn't look that much different from Mario Kart 8, game that's over a decade old now.
I expect it to finally be able to run 8th generation quality games but that might be shooting for the moon a bit. Based on what we saw from that new Mario Kart game, it's not going to be much of a step up from the Switch 1
Breath of the wild and xenoblade x on this list? Really? Open worlds are supposed to have things to do. Not a bunch of empty grass plains. I think if those two were released on the gamecube it might be worth talking about but on the switch there's tons of way better open world games.
You make an app to listen to you music, make it exclusive to online members, make it only available on phone and it takes you this long to finally add the mario 3 soundtrack?
Are we actually surprised by this though? They have been too lazy to put in more than half the pokemon in any game for the past decade. I don't see why one of their mobile games would be any different.
Pokemon hasn't had any style for about 20 years now. This would probably be impressive if it were released during the ps2 days. But in 2025? This is just another rushed game to make money.
@Leu10antFalcon I'm not saying it's not a step up from the switch (a 7th generation console). But it's not going to suddenly skip it's way past a generation to be a 9th generation console. Especially since they decided to showcase a mario kart game that looks like exactly the same as Mario Kart 8.
@Leu10antFalcon 9th generation consoles are the ps5 and xbox series x. There's 0% chance the switch 2 is on the same level as those. Nintendo has always lagged behind a generation sadly.
Leaks didn't damage it at all. if anything, Nintendo being so secretive and waiting forever just to show a teaser without any release date or price info is what damaged them.
It looks exactly the same as Mario kart 8 other than the different donkey kong. This is two systems after the wii u so it should look better at this point. Oh, nintendo.
@babybilly I haven't lied? And I apologized for missing your response. Like I said, I don't use this site too much. I think I've now posted more today than I have in like half a year lol.
But like I said, thank you for answering my question and I'm sorry I didn't reply to your previous answer.
@babybilly Sorry about that! I completely missed your last message. Im not on this site very often. But thank you for answering about my questions! I appreciate it! I hope that we get palworld on a future nintendo console. Looks nice.
I looked on the switch eshop but I can't find palworld anywhere? Did it get taken down? I keep seeing a bunch of articles about this game on nintendolife so I was going to give it a try on my nintendo switch but I can't seem to find it.
I asked this on another thread already but what nintendo console is/was Palworld on? I tried looking on the switch eshop but it's not there. Is it physical only or something?
Cool way to get some flutter Mane for those that don't have scarlet. I'm glad that everyone in the comments section can be civil and discuss the topic of Pokemon Raids and outbreaks at hand and not deviate into anything petty.

Re: Opinion: Can We Stop Comparing Donkey Kong Bananza's Tactile Thrills To Odyssey Now?
It helps to compare inferior games to their superiors that actually had more care put into them.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?
Honestly very disappointed in this game. I've seen tons of gameplay and it doesn't look anywhere even close to the level of polish a game this expensive should have. You can definitely tell this was a rush job to port this to switch 2.
Re: Pokémon Is Teasing Something Ahead Of Next Week's Showcase
I look forward to seeing how they continue to tank the pokemon franchise with low quality yearly releases.
Re: "Somewhat Mixed" - Digital Foundry Delivers Its Technical Analysis Of Donkey Kong Bananza
Donkey Kong bananza makes for a very graphically impressive Wii U game.
Re: Fans Reckon Nintendo Has "Killed" Mario Kart World With Its Latest Update
Nintendo is doing a great job of encouraging people to just buy a switch 1 with mario kart 8 deluxe instead.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week
The console's been out for almost a month now and they only have 4 games for one of the biggest selling points lol
Re: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Footage Shows 60fps Gameplay For Switch 2
Now where is the update to make the pokemon not look ugly and for the gameplay to be inspired and not just the same uninspired formula?
Re: Amphie's First Pokémon Video Delves Into A Haunting Gold & Silver Memory
Ah gen 2. Back when Pokemon was good. It's a shame about what the series has become over the last 20 years.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
That's too much considering the low quality of Pokemon games. Then again, they know that people will buy anything regardless of the price if it says Pokemon on it so it makes sense.
Re: Nintendo Today! Update Prevents Users From Recording Promotional Videos
Classic nintendo. "Can't let anyone record this 30 second clip! We'll sue you!"
Re: Nintendo Has "No Plans" To Use Game-Key Cards For First-Party-Developed Titles
"No plans" yet. They will choose the cheap option in the end. Very nintendo
Re: Here's Your First Look At Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch 2
Now can they fix the game to not be the worst in the series? I know pokemon has been going downhill for two decades now but these games were pitiful.
Re: Palworld Dev Announces "Disappointing" Game Changes Resulting From Nintendo's Lawsuit
They dont like that others are doing monster catching games better than them. Considering its been over two decades since the last good pokemon game, I'm glad palworld is rising from pokemons ashes.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Is Now The Second-Best Selling Game In The Series
This proves people will buy anything as long as it has the pokemon name on it.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct

Re: Switch 2 Pre-Orders Expected To Sell Out "Day One" Due To Limited Unit Allocation
Nintendo understocking a console? Odd, where have I heard this story before?
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
I expect it to finally be able to run 8th generation quality games but that might be shooting for the moon a bit. Based on what we saw from that new Mario Kart game, it's not going to be much of a step up from the Switch 1
Re: Rumour: A Switch 1 Direct Presentation May Take Place This Week
What's the point? The console is about to die now that the switch 2 is coming out. Just move on.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Open World Games
Breath of the wild and xenoblade x on this list? Really? Open worlds are supposed to have things to do. Not a bunch of empty grass plains. I think if those two were released on the gamecube it might be worth talking about but on the switch there's tons of way better open world games.
Re: Nintendo & Pokémon Company Had An "Adversarial Relationship", Say Former NOA Staffers
They should go their separate ways. Maybe if Pokemon was actually forced to be on a modern console the games could be halfway decent.
Re: Classic Super Mario Soundtrack Joins Nintendo's Music App For MAR10 Day
You make an app to listen to you music, make it exclusive to online members, make it only available on phone and it takes you this long to finally add the mario 3 soundtrack?
Re: Rumour: Xbox Expected To Join Switch 2 With A New Handheld This Year
I doubt it'll be able to compete with the steam deck. It's been the best handheld gaming device released in almost a decade.
Re: Pokémon Champions Limited To "Select Pokémon" At Launch
Are we actually surprised by this though? They have been too lazy to put in more than half the pokemon in any game for the past decade. I don't see why one of their mobile games would be any different.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Removal Of Switch Online SNES Game
This is why virtual console (or ideally physical) will always be better. You don't own these games. It's a scam.
Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Looks Cool, But It's Lacking Arceus' Unique Style
Pokemon hasn't had any style for about 20 years now. This would probably be impressive if it were released during the ps2 days. But in 2025? This is just another rushed game to make money.
Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Will You Choose In Legends: Z-A?
None of them. I don't buy shovelware.

100 years? Really? With how poor the quality of the series has been I'll be surprised if it does lol
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Feel About 24 Racers In Mario Kart 9?
The switch online is going lag so much. They could barely handle half that in the previous game.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
Nintendo is finally going to have an 8th generation console
Re: Nintendo Is "Very Upset" About The Switch 2 Leaks, It's Claimed
If they're upset about leaks, sounds like they should have revealed it earlier.

Re: New Mario Kart 9 Teased For Switch 2
It looks exactly the same as Mario kart 8 other than the different donkey kong. This is two systems after the wii u so it should look better at this point. Oh, nintendo.

Re: Zelda Timeline Featuring Breath Of The Wild And Tears Of The Kingdom Spotted
Good. Keep them separate from the other zelda games. Maybe the next FINISHED zelda game can go in the timeline.
