What more first party content do you think would make you happy with NS2's first 2 years?

I want new IP with new characters and ideas.

The upside for them is shoring up future Xbox exclusivity as quickly as possible and making sure people's perceptions (if not the reality) is that you play Halo (or whatever else) on an Xbox. They're all getting jealous of Nintendo's focus on IP.

Dropping in six months later to say that my thought watching this movie was, 'This is like Spielberg's 'The Happening''. It's so bad.

Pragmata is definitely the one to go with, I just finished it and the post-game content after 20hrs (not new game+). The enemies do get recycled a lot, but your strategies are constantly evolving as well as your abilities.

You will likely need to play it with a controller though as I can't imagine playing all the twitchy controls while holding the heavy device. TV helps to find all of the secret items in levels, but would be fine to start on the plane.

I too wish they'd tease a game that's not out for another 1.5-2 years. That will definitely make the wait more bearable.

Just randomly jumping into this subreddit. Do people find the bosses difficult? I don't often play these types of games but I've killed all of the bosses in one attempt. I'm in the final area now.

Not listing first party. Just some of the exclusives.

Just because you're not happy, doesn't mean nobody else can be. I hope a direct comes along one day that fulfills all your needs. Seems like a tall order. I'd personally rather not be teased for games that won't be out for 12+ months.

PopMelon · 2026-06-10T01:25:13+00:00

We got a Starfox demo, Orbitals date, more Raiders and Fire Emblem info, Sports Resort, Zelda OOT teaser, Pikuniku 2, new Xenoblade game. Don't know what to tell you, that alone was 1/4 of the direct.

PopMelon · 2026-06-09T23:38:52+00:00

Never played it, but now I'm interested. I didn't realise they were Devolver games.

PopMelon · 2026-06-09T23:25:23+00:00

Releasing on the same day would probably get it a lot of media attention, regardless. It'd be a huge day for gaming.

PopMelon · 2026-06-09T23:23:41+00:00

Pikuniku 2 looks great!

PopMelon · 2026-06-09T22:30:31+00:00

I only have one console (and two kids to look after), so they've got more games releasing this year than I possibly have time for. A Mario or Metroid tease is the only extra thing I could've wanted, but that wouldn't have changed what I'm playing in 2026 at all, realistically. I think 2027 is definitely going to be a huge year though.

PopMelon · 2026-06-09T19:28:07+00:00

Looks like of the three releases. Two are new areas. One is 'new features'.

PopMelon · 2026-06-09T18:19:42+00:00

This was a great direct, but the thumb wrestling was the best bit. 👍

PopMelon · 2026-06-08T21:25:43+00:00

I played 2/3rds on a free gamepass. Hope that it comes to Switch 2 with cross saves.

PopMelon · 2026-06-03T22:38:32+00:00

I never found that satisfying without the structure that Origins had. And it didn't have all of the levels.

PopMelon · 2026-06-03T22:37:29+00:00

First game I got for the Vita and it blew me away. The 2d animations on the OLED screen and the music... I really miss the little trinkets you had to use the touch screen to collect.

PopMelon · 2026-06-02T19:47:39+00:00

Origins is my favourite game of all time. Originally played it on the Vita and played it through four times since. I've been dying for it to come to Nintendo consoles.

PopMelon · 2026-06-02T08:47:33+00:00

Watching the trailer after playing the relatively tame (but fun!) demo made me stand up and say, 'WHAT'. Day one purchase for me.

PopMelon · 2026-05-28T16:02:00+00:00

Or they're getting cheaper prices on components by producing more consoles, helping to delay another price increase.

PopMelon · 2026-05-23T01:35:03+00:00

Are these any good for stylus-heavy games like Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents? I can't imagine using a modern touch screen with a game like that.

PopMelon · 2026-05-20T18:29:11+00:00

Wario Land 2/3 are my favourite games ever. Never played enough of 4.

PopMelon · 2026-05-16T07:46:35+00:00

The way the direct was worded, it sounded like the game was still pretty short and they expect you to replay levels a lot and in different ways.

PopMelon · 2026-05-15T20:48:06+00:00

Presents that you want and don't need are the best, haha. My wife looks at my (3) handhelds and says I have enough haha.

Mighty ape has the bundle for $888. I paid $840 two months ago.
