Ive gone into RE overdrive to try to play every game before RE9. Just did RE6 and Rev1, now onto Rev 2. The bad era. Almost out and into the great era.

BTW all those details posted as rumors, pretty spot on. RE9 is going to be amazing, I really hope the balance is good.

The Mario Kart World attach rate is insane, yet predictable.

I wonder what Nintendo will take away from those BotW and TotK sales.  TotK sold 66% of the numbers BotW managed.

Still the top selling Zeldas ever, right? I could've sworn TotK eold nearly 20 million copies like a year after release, so feels weird to see it at just 22 million sold.

I think because it's seen to be like a part 2 of BOTW.

A "new" Zelda world would be more attractive.

Yes, we can do Termina with BotW gameplay.

So is no one annoyed that you cant play 2D games requiring accuracy, on Switch 2 handheld mode as there's no dpad option?

I had the Hori joycon but cant use it on switch 2 because it was never wireless.

Now there are NQWI and Mobapad split joycon controllers coming. They're around £80 so about the price of the pro controller? Except you can use them for TV and handheld play.

No. I mostly play early 80s arcade games in portable mode; they work better with joycon since most were 4-way directional games.

It still has like 4 years to make up that number though.

Metroid Prime 4 not making the million seller list... not sure what happens to this franchise.

It may have sold a million. Age of Imprisonment sold a million and didn't show up on Nintendo s chart they showed.

Pragmata and RE9 had switch had switch 2 builds playable recently. There were a lot of video previews saying they were great and 60fps most of the time.

Pragmata isn't my idea of a good time. Doing a puzzle in real time while shooting seems annoying.

Voice actress may leak Xenoblade for 2026

04.02.26 - Voice actress Caitlin Thorburn may have leaked a Xenoblade Chronicles for 2026. For example, she writes in her resume that she voiced the role of Kos Mos for a Xenoblade Chronicles; the game is scheduled to be launched in 2026, according to them.

What exactly it is is unclear - perhaps a Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition for Switch 2 or a completely new game is in preparation, although Nintendo has not commented further on the report.
