I never played the original. This one has blown me away! Visually and gameplay wise. Addictive. I want to do it again. I need more! The multiplayer is very very fun. Flying all terrain mode is my favourite - it feels like rogue squadron.
I saw people not liking the voice acting? I personally thought it was great!
For me the memory card was key, despite being focused on carts, then a carry case and a carry bag, plus a pro controller because I’ve decided I’m going all in on the switch 2. It’s my favourite console - I’m addicted!
As a Nintendo only player - I am in heaven. New games, old games, upgrades, the third party support has been fantastic, indies even better - first party - good enough to keep me busy!!
@AussieMcBucket I think that comes down to the writing and script here… I’m sure even the best of the best voice actors would struggle with some of that dialogue. (I must admit I played it with the sound off!)
The opening dialogue is some of the most boring and uninspired text I have read in a long time. That being said, the movement and adventure is very very fun. I’ll be getting the game, and skipping the story! 😅
Trying to work out what play style this will be? Single player campaign? Story driven level based? Or maybe a Rouge like? Whatever it is - I’m interested.
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!

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.

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: Book Review: The History Of The Pokémon Games - A Light, Informative Blast To The Past
Looks great, but you’re right, the front cover looks janky. As a coffee table book… this would stop me buying it!
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.
Fingers crossed Baldurs Gate 3 gets announced … and let’s see Nintendos full release schedule!

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!!

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: 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.

Still working through DK bananza, being distracted by slay the spire, before I go to UFO50 and cyber punk 😅
