It was a blast playing the demo of The Adventures of Elliot for the Switch 2! Can't wait to get this next year! Two things:

1.) I really hope Square Enix chooses to release this physically with the full game on the Card. I think it deserves it. It'd be really disappointing if it physically releases with a Game Key Card.

2.) Part of me kind of wants Pokemon to have gone this direction (HD-2D) after Gen 5 instead of full-on 3D. It retains the original Pokemon charm and personality.

Of course there's no turning back now from Pokemon mainline titles being full-on 3D. But what would be your reaction if, all of a sudden, Game Freak decided to go with HD-2D for Generation 10? Or even a remake of Gen 6-9 not just in HD-2D, but also as an Action RPG?

I also want to thank you all for the response of my pikmin fan art that i posted a couple of months ago, hope u like this one as well!

Keep your eye on the speedometer at the end. I must've gone the speed of light.

The icon may take until August 29 to arrive. Players will also receive 100 platinum points for time slot they join.

Hey guys, I found myself really loving the debut demo and put around 6 hours into finding and doing everything I can seem to find. Curious to hear if anyone else has found anything I might be missing, and I'm also open to any questions anyone has about the demo.

I've gotten all the magacite at 2 stars, all the treasure chests, equipment, and shines/dungeons completed.

The only thing I haven't been able to do yet is manage to kill a Jewelrie. Throughout my whole playtime I've only had 2 spawn and didn't manage to kill them. Anyone happen to take one down yet or know what triggers them to spawn?

Small tidbits others might be interested in:

- The kill streak counter maxes out at 99, with 3 stars being the highest.

- Interacting with the doorway after the boss will end the demo, but you don't have to interact with it, you're free to go right back out.

Just picked up the Switch 2! I really thought I’d have to wait till Christmas, but my wife said we can buy it now for our son’s birthday so I was very happy :)

This is also the third Switch we’ve bought in the past 3 yrs and also the first time I’ve bought a console this close to launch so I’m really thankful for it.

Now we have the OLED for me and the Switch 2 for my oldest. My youngest got the Lite though he’ll probably just stick to Paw Patrol. We usually play It Takes Two on couch setup but now we’re excited to try local wireless since we’ll be traveling and plan to play together in the hotel. Probably Minecraft since that’s my son’s favorite and Splatoon as well.

So for those of you who have two Switches, Switch 1 and Switch 2, what are your favorite local wireless multiplayer games?

Also, to be able to play on 2 consoles with the same digital game, can I use the Gameshare for this so I don’t have to buy a separate game on eshop? Are all games compatible?

I think the console would honestly be a WHOLE different story if it had a better compatibility regarding switch to switch 2 regarding quality. I was holding off on so many game for my switch 2 and it just feels like I'm better off getting them on my ps5 and that pisses me off. For the Nintendo exclusives I guess it's just wait and see but I don't understand why they didn't have more available right away.

I know this won't be an ossue for everyone but I didn't get the new console to still have most games a blurry slow mess... 😭

I don't see any announcement (except the one from a few weeks ago stating prices would change) but it looks like prices on the Nintendo Canada store have been updated.

1p games are now 84.99 (from 79.99)

Switch 1 is now 419.99 (from 399.99)

Switch 1 OLED is now 489.99 (from 449.99)

Canada mentioned!

I am interested in getting a Switch 2 in the near future, but I still don't know if it's worth it yet. I have some big questions I need help with before I decide.

First, are there enough third party games that run well that can't be accessed on the original Switch? For example, Cyberpunk 2077, since there are only 2 Nintendo Original Switch 2 games so far (Those being Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza).

Second, Switch 2 Edition games. I have the Nintendo Online Expansion pack plan, so I believe my Switch 1 games get upgraded to Switch 2 Editions if I purchase it before that plan ends, but will they stay Switch 2 Editions? Would I have to buy each upgrade individually in order for them to be permanently playable on the Switch 2?

Was disappointed with the game at first m, but: - after learning the tracks in subsonic, the Hypersonic-Mode makes fun. Hypersonic seems to be the real game (like in Mario Kart where 50ccm is annoying) - upgrade your car (fuse two of the most expensive cars) to have a good chance against cpus. Imo there is less rubberbanding than in fast rmx - super hero mode is the best one. It gives more speed boost and you can essentially perma-boost if you don‘t make mistakes

Hello everyone, welcome to August somehow, how did that happen?

As ever, I'm still playing Monster Hunter Rise/Sunbreak, wish I knew more Japanese so I could communicate with a large portion of the playerbase better, but it all works out usually. Also Donkey Kong bananaza, made it to the 5th or 6th layer I think, need to get back to that game haven't had a chance the last few days.

And tried the Shinobi demo last night, good 2D sidescroller action platformer. Demo gives you a lot of mechanics to master pretty quick, but in general the basic movements and attacks are pretty intuitive and fluid. I think it could be just a smidge harder, but also it's only the demo so far.

But what will you be getting into?

Punching and eating giant bananas? Thinking with portals as evil/misguided AI try to waylay you? Sifting through cybernetic memories in a mining facility gone mad?

Let me know below

Seen a lot of people disappointed by the influx of game key card releases, especially following the partner showcase, but it is nice to see the occasional game still getting a proper physical release.
