It's a nice and accessible way to have a Virtual Boy-shaped decoration without having to hunt down the pricy and old original hardware. I wonder if the accessory will sell better than the Virtual Boy itself lol.

@rjejr You're right! I was also missing the proper introduction, like what this game is about. I also didn't play the original, so I have no nostalgia for it. I would maybe give it a chance if it was a budget title, but we already know it will cost 70 USD for the digital copy. I'm a bit underwhelmed so far, even though I wanted to like it. I really like Sakurai, but I guess I'm not 100% into his games after all. I really loved Kid Icarus for the 3DS, and I enjoy Smash casually, but Kirby Air Riders… I dunno.

It's a Sakurai game alright. I thought I'd definitely be getting it, but after today's Direct I'm not so sure anymore. It's just so chaotic and fast-paced. Can a regular human being comprehend what's going on on the screen most of the time?
I don't get the Skyah thing. Is that the only map for the battle mode? It looks quite small, no?

@Anachronism Ah, that old trick. Thank you!

How do you post images in a comment? 😢

I didn't apply a screen protector because they stress me out (there's always that one piece of dust that manages to go under the screen protector), but I'm super careful and I added a couple of foam stickers on the inside of the dock, so that when the console wobbles inside the dock, it hits the foam pads rather than the dock's plastic.
P.S. Have you seen how removing a (scratched/worn out) glass screen protector looks? I've seen some horror pictures and that made me not want to apply any screen protectors even more lol.

I just finished my first campaign on Switch 2 and the mouse controls were glorious! There is no going back to buttons for me.

But is the included Ultra High Speed HDMI cable soft?

Yeah, I don’t think Nintendo is aware of my country existing lol, so I preordered at a local electronics store. We’ll see if that preorder means anything on June 5th.

What languages will the Switch 2's menu be available in? Any new languages? Will Switch 2 games be available in new languages compared to the original Switch?

I was super happy to see that Switch 2 supports HDR.

When they first announced the Music app, I expected them to add one new soundtrack per month—and that's on good months. So I'm super happy to see that we've been getting consistent weekly drops—and now even a triple drop! I think that's the perfect solution for smaller OSTs that clock in at only a few minutes each.

@canaryfarmer I went all the way up. 😅 Some text might be a little too sharp, but that happens mostly on PS5. And there is no nasty white edges that regular sharpening creates. On Switch everything looks much better to my eye than with Reality Creation turned off.

@KaiserGX Yes and yes, I loved how sharp Dragon Quest III looked! 😍

I use my TV's built in "Reality Creation" feature to upscale Switch games and the results are stunning. I usually turn off all image enhancers, but this one truly looks good… And most importantly, it's already in the TV and can be adjusted at any point.

The track called "Azure Flute" sounds so much like that one Star Wars theme.

@PineappleLake Wow, that's low. Your game doesn't even come up in Search with the default filters on. I'll stick to Deku Deals for now.

If I could suggest one thing, it would be adding more currencies. Currently, it's only USD, EUR and GBP, none of which are the currency of my eShop.
That being said, I don't think I'll be using better eShop, since a much more useful Deku Deals already exists. Sorry. Also, be careful with the branding, it's kinda close to Nintendo's official eShop. 😅 Using actual Nintendo music is bold.

I'm glad we're back to Tuesday soundtrack releases. Nintendo do skipped 31.12. so I was slightly worried that they might stop, but it looks like weekly drops are back, yay! I'm always happy to get anything, even if it's a game I haven't played before. I give each soundtrack a try and most of them are really good.

I wonder if this will prompt Nintendo to localize their games into more languages than before. I know this is mostly about "other" regions, but there are still big markets in Europe that lack the local language support.

Pikpik carrots are real!

I keep going back and forth on which version to get — Switch or PS5. Do I prefer portability or better graphics? Does anyone else have such hard time deciding? 😅

@Drew250 Interesting! I barely use the Swordfighter mode and prefer to send out my minions to do the dirty work for me lol. It's cool how two players can have a completely different experience with the game.

I rated it 10. Then I remembered that the performance can be a little choppy, but since I didn't think of it as I was pressing the "Vote" button, I guess it doesn't bother me that much lol. Seriously though, the game is so pleasant. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's been perfect.

So… no demo before release? 🥺

Isn't 450万 4,500,000 instead of 450,000?

I wonder if these changes will result in better support of European languages in Nintendo games.

Looks cute but I wonder what the language level is. I hope it's not just the most basic phrases and N5 vocabulary.

I wonder how difficult it will be to get a ticket. 😬

Come on! I went to Japan last year and got all the Pikmin terrariums and the NES/Famicom controller keychains… Now they announced the 2nd waves for both. 😭 Gotta go to Japan again, I guess, lol.

Play in Japanese for that "kid growing up in a country where they don't speak one of the select few languages and not understanding anything" experience. For those learning Japanese, it could be a nice and (probably) easy way to complete a whole game in their target language!

@Samalik I thought that by writing "(jk!)" it would be clear I was just making a joke, but oh well.

It's not in 60 fps, unwatchable. (jk!)

So far it's fine, but it's becoming a little boring to me (just started the chapter with the ring fights and it's probably the worst chapter so far). The battle system is nothing to write home about (not even close to being as captivating as, say, Pokémon). The story is meh. I think I enjoyed The Origami King more at this point. I like the open spaces of TOK and it might have looked better if my memory serves me right.

Can someone explain how this works exactly? Is Nintendo waiting for all the players currently online to finish their game before fully shutting down the servers?

Pegasus featured in a Nintendo Life article, Polska Gurom!

And Nintendo.com/pl-pl/, right? Right…? Yeah, right. 😢

What bothers me more is no black outline on the inner part of the letters "o".

It's a Hisuian Jigglypuff seen from above.

Can't wait for new rumors telling us the Switch successor will have an 8-inch screen.

If the soundtrack isn't particularly memorable, how come I remember it after all these years? I didn't even play Golden Sun for that long.

Nintendo Switch (2024 model)
Nintendo Wonder

I actually really enjoyed the new voice of Mario. It made playing Super Mario Wonder feel even more fresh!

"helping them grow" – Pikmin 5 confirmed!

I already didn't like having the Jirard NPC while playing the game, way before the controversy. Can't we have a nice fantasy game without references to YouTube personas?

Didn't expect to see Yatterman mentioned on NintendoLife. It would have worked so well to have Wario and Waluigi act as Wapeach's Tonzura and Boyakki.

I already bought the Japanese version and started learning the language, but I'd still welcome the English translation. 😅

Those Goombas don't seem so serene now.

Galuga? Sounds like… Alugalugaluga!
