TalkBack / Re: Other News From The February 5 Partner Showcase

« Last post by Mop it up on Yesterday at 03:04:42 PM »

While it doesn't look like it has any ties to the N64 games, I can't help but be curious about the new Turok. I'll probably take a look at it.

...on Xbox.

Balloon Kid! I almost bought that when the 3DS eShop was closing down, but then I had the thought, "Eh, it'll probably be on NSO."

Although they didn't really show any more of substance for MHStories 3, I'm just glad they're still continuing the series and am looking forward to trying it out.

It's interesting to see another game attempting the vertical-split co-op genre. That's enough to make me curious to try it out at some point.

Huh. Apparently the version of Hollow Knight I own is the Switch version. Don't like the game, but I'll take the upgrade.

TalkBack / Re: Xanadu Heads To Kyoto In 2026

Well, that was a disappointment. Tokyo Xanadu was one of my favorite Vita games, was still an excellent PS4 game, and I was so excited when they announced there would be a sequel.

Then they showed us this, a game that makes the decade-old Vita game look next-gen by comparison.

Nope.

General Gaming / Re: What are you playing?

« Last post by NWR_insanolord on Yesterday at 01:21:46 AM »

A friend of mine is playing Metroid Fusion for the first time right now, and him talking about it made me want to go back and play it again. My controversial opinion regarding 2D Metroid is I think each game has been better than the previous one, so while that means it's not my favorite, all the games since Super Metroid are fantastic, and I especially love how breezy the GBA games are. They're a lot less difficult than the MercurySteam games, but it's so fun to just comfortably glide through them. I'm still going through Prime 4, which I've been enjoying, but the fact that Samus has actual dialog in Fusion really makes me wish they'd gone that way in Prime 4 as well.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What will Nintendo release in 2026?

« Last post by Evan_B on February 04, 2026, 01:02:39 PM »

Okay, so the Partner Direct is happening tomorrow so this is my last chance. Here’s to the year.

-I also believe that the Switch 2 will have a price increase. Probably around another fifty dollars? Nintendo will “offset” this with more hardware bundles, as it costs them nothing. Think of this as your Voucher Ticket, except you’ll need to buy an entire piece of hardware to justify your discount!
-I’m DOUBLING DOWN on Hi Fi Rush, this time having a Nintendo Switch 2 version that runs better than the Nintendo Switch version. That’s the only Microsoft-adjacent thing I can reasonably predict, as I don’t have enough knowledge of their other IP to comment.
-Wait, no. I lied. I think Grounded will get a Nintendo Switch 2 edition that performs better than the Nintendo Switch version.
-This might be the most basic prediction ever, but there is going to be a NEW Square Enix title announced and released this year that uses nostalgia/brand recognition of previously-released titles as a selling point. Not a sequel, a spin-off or new concept.
-Wishful thinking: Visions of Mana somehow comes to the Switch 2. I am personally happy about this.
-The Adventures of Elliot gets another Demo! Also a basic prediction. I gotta make that money somehow.
-Elden Ring: Nightreign also comes to the Switch 2 around the same time as Elden Ring. It might come out at the same time as a new content update for Nightreign, but it will not be as up-to-date as the current version (the more specific this prediction becomes, the less likely it will come true, but I don’t care).
-I think we’ll get news of a new Monster Hunter exclusive to Switch 2 for the later half of 2026. Rise and Stories 2 both released in 2021, believe it or not. Or google it.
-We get a tease of Pokemon Gen 10 later this month, but it does not have a 2026 launch. I expect it will occupy the Legends Arceus slot of 2027, and that we’ll see Pokopia (Ditto game?) as this year’s major release.
-Splatoon Raiders is a Summer release, because for some reason that’s when Splatoon games are released (unless they’re switched around with Xenoblade 3). I think that this game is going to have some Amiibo. HOT TAKE!
-If there IS a Mario-Galaxy-Movie-adjacent Mario game, it will not release within the theatrical run of said movie.
-We’ll get Twilight Princess on GCN Classics before they dare release WWHD/TPHD on Switch 2.
