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.
I could see them waiting until Nintendo's next console. Whatever Nintendo does for it's tenth generation console should be able to handle the game pretty well.
Personally disagree. Pokemon does well enough despite the criticisms it gets about tree textures or whatever else the complaint of the week is. These are two very different types of games.

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: 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.
Re: Pokémon Company's CEO Reckons Series Can Reach Its 100th Anniversary

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: Random: Switch 2 Leakers Called Out By Industry Veteran Hideki Kamiya

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: Switch 2 Will Be Backwards Compatible With Physical And Digital Games, With Some Exceptions
Finally, Nintendo does something right.
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: Poll: What Do You Think Of Donkey Kong's Redesign In Mario Kart 9?
He looks so ugly. this is an awful redesign. Sorry but they should have kept him the same if this is the change they were going with

Re: Palworld Developer Pocketpair Changes Pokémon-Like Summoning Mechanic
@babybilly I'm not sure what joke you're talking about? I'm asking a genuine question about the article. I would like to know more about this game.
Re: Palworld Announces Surprise Collaboration With Terraria
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.
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.
Re: New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Distribution Now Available
Its hard to believe this game is almost 2 years old and still lags worse than my hand me down pc from 2006.
Re: Random: Nintendo Releases The Hounds On A Pokémon Ripoff Game, But Not That One
@illmatic20xx Wait if it's not on nintendo then why is Nintendolife talking about it? I thought they had separate sites for sony and xbox games?
Re: Random: Nintendo Releases The Hounds On A Pokémon Ripoff Game, But Not That One

Re: Nintendo Switch Menu Mockups Found On Prototype Console
In some ways I prefer this but in some ways I'm happy with what we got. The battery power being on the bottom is very jarring to me in particular.
Re: Yes, Nintendo Is Aware Of Palworld's Existence
I don't dislike the game but I don't get why so many are calling it a 'Pokemon Killer'. As if these games cannot both exist
Re: Princess Peach: Showtime! Trailer Reveals Ninja Peach And Cowgirl Peach
I'm quite excited to see what they end up doing with a peach game. this'll be the first one we've had since the DS days.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Pastel Pink Switch Joy-Con Set
This is going to sell out immediately
Re: Palworld Has A Pokémon Mod, Though Video Takedowns Are Already Being Dished Out
I don't get why a lot of people on youtube are acting as if this is in any way a competitor to pokemon?
Re: Switch Online's 'Missions & Rewards' Adds Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC Icons
@Henchdog I guess but 10 points isn't worth near as much as 60 dollars.
Re: Sega Plans To Revive Even "More" Legacy Franchises
Good on Sega. We need more of their old good games back.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Wins Best Action/Adventure Game At TGA 2023
Completely undeserved but hey if people want to pay 70 dollars for Breath of the Wild DLC who am I to judge?
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Scores Best Family Game At The Game Awards
It's the one genre Nintendo actually does well at.

Good way to know who on your friends list is willing to shell out 60 dollars for an unfinished game and another 35 for unfinished dlc
