I had the xl back in the day, but I recently got a new 3ds xl and it is incredible. It feels solid, smooth, portable but big. It could be the perfect console…
Very much going to wait and see. I told my self no as I just felt BURNED by scarlet and violet. That was the first Pokémon game I didn’t even finish. I’m on the fence for this one. Waiting to see what my mate thinks first
This is a really good question. With the switch I went months without buying new games. With the switch 2, I’ve decided to lean in and I’ve been LOVING all the new games, despite not having loads of time. I’ve also discovered all the amazing indies out there! In summary, I’m buying too many games atm 😅
For £20, I’m tempted to buy it just to support the scene! Haven’t filled vibes with hollow night yet. The jumping felt off and I didn’t vibe with it… yet.
I’ve sent the link to my wife… Christmas present hopefully sorted! Once someone makes a how to guide for turning this into a useable gameboy, I’ll be modding immediately 😂
@CJD87 I have the dock, I bought it for travel a few weeks ago. Very intrigued by the bag now - especially as I’ve just got off a plane! Thanks for the tip!
Making roms of current gen’s is just silly, of course it will be shut down. Pirates gonna pirate I guess, but gotta pay the price? Or walk the plank? Er I think I’ve gone off topic. Anyway - yeah makes sense!
I went in hoping to be convinced, and instead opted for the joycon charging holder instead. Half the price, means I get to use the joy cons, and get the little G buttons too. I only got a pro controller in the last year - and I love it. No need to upgrade… YET!
Does it give anyone notifications? I selected yes but it never pings me. If it pinged me every day I would look - it’s one of the only apps I would actually like notifications for…
Pre-ordered. I want to re-live the switch 1 launch. Be blown away by the visuals in Botw, jump in for some hardcore racing with FAST - this time we get some new Mario kart goodness to go along with it. Also F-zero for good vibes on the side. If anything my worry is that I won’t have time to play everything!!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Pokémon 30th Anniversary Edition
Sword and shield are the worst I reckon. I voted gen 2- but nostalgia may have clouded my judgement.

Re: This Switch 2 Grip Might Be The Ultimate Way To Play GameCube Games In Handheld
I’ve been burnt by abxylute's kickstarters. Their phone magnetic controller is pretty crap. Will wait for reviews.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 6 Pokémon?
I love inkay! Never truly know how to use them, but I still always try.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
I’m going to echo all the comments above - I was hoping for a solid single player portion, guess I’ll have to give this a miss now. Sad.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2: All Confirmed Games & Release Dates
First time where there isn’t anything huge jumping out at me. Which is probably for the best as I have played SO MANY GAMES this year.

Re: Fortnite's Latest Trailer Is An Unsettling Realisation Of Its Crossover Ambitions
It is odd for sure. I feel overwhelmed and unable to go back to Fortnite now. I don’t where to start!
I wanted to go to the gorillaz gig to experience it and I had no idea what was going on…
edit - no disrespect to Fortnite - very happy to see it thriving!!

Please do a Nintendolife podcast. Please. Thank you! Long form chats about the weeks news - perfect.
Re: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?
I don’t get the negativity. Mario kart - great, DK - fantastic, fast fusion - yes please! Updated Zelda’s - lovely. Cyberpunk - blimey! I could go on.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong's Price Has Been Officially Announced
For £20, I’m tempted to buy it just to support the scene! Haven’t filled vibes with hollow night yet. The jumping felt off and I didn’t vibe with it… yet.

Re: Rumour: Sony Is Gunning For The Switch 2 With A Handheld, Dockable PS6
While I wouldn’t buy one, and back the switch all the way. Competition breeds innovation! Not a band thing.

@CJD87 I have the dock, I bought it for travel a few weeks ago. Very intrigued by the bag now - especially as I’ve just got off a plane! Thanks for the tip!
Re: Review: ANTANK S3 MAX TV Dock Station For Nintendo Switch 2 - A Decent Little Travel Dock
@CJD87 not a bad shout actually. I need to look into a cross body. My current one is now too small for my switch 2!!
Re: Nintendo's LEGO Game Boy Officially Revealed, Releasing October 2025

Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Cases To Carry And Protect Your Console
@Broch83 I’m an idiot, they are just in a much better place for this iteration. Ignore me. ANYWAY!
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Cases To Carry And Protect Your Console
@Broch83 is that in the individual slot options, or the loose pouch bit?
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Cases To Carry And Protect Your Console
One thing to note, the new official case doesn’t have slots to hold games like the Switch 1, Lite and OLED versions. Digital options only apparently…
EDIT: IGNORE ME I CANT USE MY EYES APPARENTLY
Re: Video: "It's Actually...Really Good" - Our Hot 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Preview Take
I bought it. I’m buying into the hype of the whole system. Not sold on a camera yet… but there is still time!
Re: Video: Do You Even Need A Pro Controller For The Switch 2?
I went in hoping to be convinced, and instead opted for the joycon charging holder instead. Half the price, means I get to use the joy cons, and get the little G buttons too. I only got a pro controller in the last year - and I love it. No need to upgrade… YET!
