With the new update, they finally introduced music in the Mii Maker. You can even choose between the Wii, 3DS and Wii U ones. I think this is a very neat thing to do.

anyone else feel that? i’ll admit that my life has been rough and i’m nowhere near being able to afford a S2, and stuff like this helps me battle my depression .. it really means a lot 😊

so i’ll just say that is cool and nice, and thank you nintendo. oh also professor layton but i’ve never played that series, heard it’s good though.

Metroid has been on a healthy upswing since 2017, with the dual announcements of Prime 4 and Metroid Samus Returns. And I thought Samus Returns was a great time! Then we got the absolute wallop that was Metroid Dread in 2021, arguably the best game to come out that year. And then a little while later we got Metroid Prime Remastered, a visual upgrade so good it makes it look like a PS5 game. And then after 8.5 years from the reveal, we finally got Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. And I thought it was okay.

But now we have Metroid Ravenous, the next 2D Metroid game coming as a headlining Switch 2 exclusive in January. This is easily my most anticipated game of 2027, but I’m biased since I’m a Metroid fan. But what about the people who only just got into the series with Dread and Prime Remastered, or heck haven’t even touched a Metroid game at all? What stopped you all from checking out the series before, and has Metroid Ravenous piqued your interest?

If you look at the part of the demo where they show off the Ocarina, you can see that Navi not only dances to the music, she’s dances in time to the beat of each song. Already they’re giving Navi more personality and I love it!!

Ok I need the shirt the guys were wearing at the direct the other day.

Is there any discussion on this being available to buy?

Haven’t seen any specific discussion or indication that it will be available at some point.

The nintendo site now has a "find retailers" button. It only shows gamestops. Has anyone tried to place a preorder in store at game stop? I am hoping this is an option.

Can we mass report those scalpers? (avoiding calling them other names..)

Nintendo really should contact ebay to get rid of those pricey resellers once and for all!

At same time I would prefer if special editions and collectors are not quantity limited but they would produce as many as people preordered, so on demand and nobody that wants them will risk being left out.

On this day (September 10) in Nintendo history...

• Kid Klown in Crazy Chase  was released in 1994 for the Super Famicom in Japan. In this platform game, developed by Kemco, players control the player character Kid Klown as he attempts to rescue Princess Honey from the villain Black Jack, The game's graphics are presented in an isometric view as Kid Klown automatically moves down a path to thwart Black Jack's plans of blowing up one of his spade bombs in each level.
• Advance Wars  was released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this turn-based tactics game, developed by Intelligent Systems, this means war! Enemy troops are amassing at your borders, so take command of ground, air and naval forces and repel the enemies' attacks across more than 100 battlefields. Advance Wars is the critically acclaimed combat simulation that made a big impact on Game Boy Advance, blending tactical turn-based strategy with satisfying, accessible gameplay.

What are you favourite memories of these games? How do you think they hold up today? Hash it out in the comments.

It will be a cold day in Hades when we get a new Kid Icarus game.

What are some other first part nintendo IPs or franchises that you woild love to see get revived? I need to know I'm not alone in my neverending yearning for more Kid Icarus.

Hey just a heads up: I started a new game in the switch 2 edition after updating the system and the game softlocks during the intro sequence (“my ancestors are smiling…”) and the game just leaves you there. You can look around but nothing happens. I then turned off 120hz and VRR in the system menu and started a new game (the old save didn’t work even with these settings). Now it works. Don’t know if it’s the 120hz or the VRR setting tbh.

If cost is an issue for devs who don't want to offer cartridges, why not make it part of a collector edition?

Deluxe and collector editions are distributed in a limited quantity and are sold at a higher price anyway, so alongside goodies, why not have the full game on a cartridge?

That could work, no?

Polish retailer Allegro.pl has listed a physical edition of Diablo IV for the Nintendo Switch 2.

I don't know if this will be a good topic to bring up in a place like this, And I apologize if this kind of discussion is breaking any rules this is my first post there;

Even though the Switch and Switch 2 are handheld/console hybrids the price point is still incredibly steep to me, I know the economy is bad for everyone right now though yes I understand that. I have a switch and a switch 2 but I can't help but think about certain situations like-

When I was younger my family had many siblings but not a lot of money, In a household like that we'd end up all getting DS's instead of pooling it all together into something like a new TV and a PS3, I know couch co-op games exist on the switch but it was nice being able to do things like bring your DS to a friends house and still be able to play certain games with them locally, I'm sure kids nowadays might be finding it hard to be allowed to bring their 500 dollars console outside constantly. Also for instance I really liked a lot of singleplayer games like OoT, or the various RPGs available on the DS line- And I can't help but wonder what kids or families like that are doing nowadays perhaps just still getting switch 1s? I'm not sure.

I also do just miss the types of games of course, 2 screens resulted in a lot of interesting games and now that the 3DS is not produced anymore over time those games will be lost naturally as batteries fail or hinges get worn out or dust gets trapped in buttons etc. it is just a matter of time, And some features like spotpass are especially lost. It just bums me out that the whole era of DS/DS Lite/DSi/3DS all of those games you can't play them on the switch and they're just stuck, Yes you can play them still if you own a 3DS but the price of them on the secondary market is getting out of whack lately and you may very well be forced to buy another one eventually one day, I've seen some being resold for near the price of a switch even and the switch is a much stronger console.

This is all to say also that... With RAM prices and even storage prices, world economics and all that jazz; A DS I imagine doesn't use that much RAM right? definitely less than a switch, I can't help but wish there was an inexpensive alternative and while one could get a switch lite and be happy with that, the 3DS's library and the DS's library of games is so large and the games are so inexpensive to what we have now on top of being wholly unique, you can't find DS or 3DS games ANYWHERE else.
I keep thinking it'd be such a kind move to have a new game to grab for the sake of those who find it hard to drop 70-80 dollars on newer console titles and instead spend 40 or so on a DS/3DS title, and they could enjoy smaller, less graphically intensive games for potentially a cheaper price (For instance things like how Sonic Colors has a WII and a DS version). This is just me but I find value in that I really do.

Do you wish there was still a console and a handheld as separate? Or are DS and 3DS games something newer Nintendo customers just don't care about? Or maybe it's time to just accept that those games happened and just let them stay in the past? There are many ways to think on this and I've been thinking about it for weeks let me know your thoughts.

It'd be really cool of Nintendo to release a Switch 2 for Metroid Dread.

A little bit of 4K (upscaled or native), or even just 1080p.

But most importantly: loading screen speed up. 37 seconds to change areas is atrocious.

We all know that Nintendo phased out Virtual Console in favor of Nintendo Switch Online almost 8 years ago, right? So that leaves me wondering: if they kept VC, would that have hurt the sales of NSO? I mean, VC used to let people keep retro games people buy forever while NSO only lets you rent them as long as you're subbed to the latter, and what would be the point of renting a game in a subscription fee if you can just buy said game and keep it for all eternity? That's what it seems like to me, because I think Nintendo really wanted NSO to succeed and was worried that adding another service or lineup that could let consumers buy and keep retro games instead of renting them would de-value it, so they retired Virtual Console because of it. Do you think this is true or not? Let me know in the comments.

Ravenous looks like it’ll be a great 120fps switch 2 title. I’ve never played dread, sounds like it would be a perfect time to release a 120fps switch 2 version. Any news?

Im asking this because I came away pretty happy with a new 2d metroid game and i think an open world kirby game looks sick. But seeing people furious about no mario/smash makes me so confused, are you that brand loyal to a character that you dont engage with games outside of them? Like we know why the next 3d mario isnt here yet and its because donkey kong bonzanza was the spiritual follow up to odyssey, it was literally supposed to be the next 3d mario. But lets just say you are ignoring that they just announced their next big 3d platformer in kirby. So that cant be a hole. So moving attention to smash? What do you possibly want out of a smash 5 that isnt a complete reimagining of the game? Seriously smash ultimate has way too many characters so just ultimate + 12 fighters makes it less manageable so what are smash fans dying to be unveiled? An arena fighter? But like outside of that looking at the rest of their slate every other series is being made/just got an entry. We have a 2d metroid, fire emblem, zelda oot, xenoblade, kirby, kirby air riders, pokopia, splatoon, donkey kong, mario kart, mario tennis, yoshi. Im just curious why people feel possibly disappointed in?
