Yesterday, I got my pre ordered copy of Resident Evil 4, and I am so happy!

​I still can't believe how amazing Nintendo is for letting us play a masterpiece like this literally anywhere.

Yesterday I was playing it in the dentist's waiting room, then in the car, and later in my family's living room!

I'm having the best time!

Intercambio la consola por una botella de ron. Literal, pienso correrle el emulador de PS Vita. Agregarle juegos ya está instalado y me sorprende mucho su capacidad de poder jugar desde un Mario o así, hasta un Uncharted pesadito de una PlayStation 2. O sea, no tiene límites; permite, pues, explorar lo más posible. Me da mucho gusto tener esa consola. Aunque en un futuro me pienso comprar la más reciente, pero va a ser en unos años. Está para el día día para no preocuparme por si se pierde para salir para ir a un picnic y pues la dejaron un poco sin esa espina de que pase algo me funciona muy bien y me gusta mucho

Happy Friday everyone!

I do have a switch 2 but you can't beat the beauty of a OLED screen.

Legend of zelda thumb caps and protective back case and NYXI Hyperion Pro split controllers.

I've never played RDR before and I'm super excited for this deal. Excited to go home and play it after work. No idea what to expect.

I’m curious to see how many people have actually played 13 sentinels: aegis rim and what people generally think of it. It seems to be a generally unknown and underrated game that isn’t on most people’s radar. I jumped into it with no prior knowledge and ended up being unable to put it down. Finished the game in about 50 hours within maybe 10 days or so and I was so blown away. Between the gorgeous art style, engaging RTS type battles and the incredible story telling. I honestly think it may have been the single best piece of sci-fi media that I’ve personally ever consumed. How do people generally feel about this game, I’m truly curious to know.

u/giga-hurtz posted in about Smyths Toys stocking it too.

I have a few more games to be added before the year is over, those being: Sakuna of Rice and Ruin, Final Fantasy Resonance, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Stellar Blade.

I also plan on grabbing more Splatoon amiibos! And maybe a Goomba ❤️

Who needs it?

For those people who stoped playing Mario Kart 8 what did you do with your copy of the game? Did you gave it away or you still own it?

Is anyone out there who owns and plays both games?

Or maybe you are still playing the good old Mario Kart 8 and you never bought MK World?

I am personally playing both, and I own both.

My entire apartment building got moved over to mesh wifi and because of that, my switch's wifi doesn't work properly anymore unless i move right next to the router. I play handheld, I would really like to not play docked if possible :(

Hi,
I would like to use one or two PS5 controllers to play on my Nintendo Switch 1.

Should I buy an 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter for this purpose? If so, would it allow me to connect two PS5 controllers simultaneously, or only 1 ps5 controller

Also, is there anything else I need to know to make sure both controllers work properly, especially when playing multiplayer games?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Remind you 007 is a heavily CPU driven game , however with time and effort they achieved 60fps while the series S only runs at 30 FPS. Which now ask the question again. How is GTA 6 on the series S but not the switch 2… Stop using the CPU Bs.

Hey so I want to buy a Nintendo switch 2 for my wife she loves Mario kart and im confused with knowing which extra remote to buy with it? I mainly play Xbox so im used to that type of set up and remote style is this the type of remote I would need to fit my gameplay style to enjoy the switch more?

I love Zelda, both 2d and 3d ones. I’m super hyped for the OoT remake!

But I’m wondering, what are games that scratch a similar itch? A colourful world to explore, getting upgrades, solving puzzles, getting lost in dungeons…

I already know of Mina, that one’s on top of my list!

I’d prefer games that are affordable and don’t take three hundred hours to beat (chrm botw CHRM totk) but I’m open to basically anything!

just the title. wondering if it’s worth it to wait getting the super mario galaxy bundle if it goes on sale.

i know the e shop won’t have sales cause nintendo literally never puts their games on sale, but do walmart, target, amazon, etc put them on sale?

TLDR / PSA: The Nintendo eShop is selling what appears to be mass-produced, AI-generated shovelware with misleading descriptions that make these apps sound like actual games. I only discovered this AFTER buying Judo Master Rising, which turned out not to be a game at all. Just a warning to others: be careful what you’re buying, because apparently Nintendo allows this crap on its store.

My kid does judo, so when I stumbled across Judo Master Rising on the Nintendo eShop, I thought I’d found something he’d really enjoy.

I imagined an actual video game where you control judoka with the Switch controllers, learning different grips and throws step by step. Pressing buttons to perform the movements, gradually learning more complicated techniques, maybe even working your way through the ranks.

Basically, a game that teaches you judo through gameplay.

And honestly, that’s pretty much what the eShop description made me expect.

Here’s the literal description from the Nintendo eShop:

Master the art of throws, holds, and self-control through an immersive journey into judo.

Designed for all levels, each step builds your strength, focus, and technique.

Practice with realistic drills and intuitive lessons that grow with you.

Develop the mindset, movement, and discipline of a true martial artist.

Train with purpose and rise through the ranks.

(Software description provided by the publisher.)

Sounds like some kind of interactive judo game, right?

I wasn’t expecting some incredibly sophisticated martial arts simulator for a few euros. Just a fun game where my kid could actually perform judo techniques with the controller and learn something about the sport he loves.

Well, what a waste of money.

IT’S NOT EVEN A GAME. LITERALLY.

What I got was basically a really shitty PowerPoint presentation. Page after page of lengthy text, with a static illustration underneath each one. No animations, no characters performing throws, no interactive exercises, no gameplay whatsoever.

You can’t even navigate it with the regular Switch controllers. It’s touchscreen only.

And I’m 100% convinced this thing was churned out using AI.

The illustrations are absolute nonsense.

One shows two judoka somehow grabbing each other’s hands in a way that doesn’t even make anatomical sense. One of the hands seems to have disappeared entirely. And instead of demonstrating a proper grip on the sleeve and lapel, they’re doing… whatever the hell that is.

Another illustration shows two judoka with their arms stretched out like they’re figure skating. There’s no proper grip, no visible control over the opponent’s balance, and absolutely nothing useful to learn from it.

These aren’t just ugly pictures. THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE TEACHING JUDO.

I didn’t buy this to read a judo manual or have my kid physically practise throws in the living room. I bought it because I expected an actual video game where she’d get to perform judo techniques virtually, using the controller.

Instead, I got walls of text and AI-looking illustrations that don’t even demonstrate the basics correctly.

And then there’s the part that really pissed me off.

AFTER purchasing the software, there’s a little information button that reveals this disclaimer:

This is an informational app related to the downloaded topic. It is not a game and does not include any gameplay features, other than serving as a practical guide.

I’m sorry, WHAT?!

So the publisher explicitly acknowledges that it’s NOT a game and contains NO gameplay features, but somehow that information didn’t make it into the eShop description?

Instead, they advertise realistic drills, intuitive lessons, an immersive journey into judo and progressing through the ranks.

What exactly am I supposed to be practising here? My reading comprehension?

Then I looked up Lunaria Games, the developer and publisher.

And suddenly things started making a lot more sense.

Apparently, they’ve published dozens of cheap educational and lifestyle titles on the Nintendo Switch, covering everything from martial arts and yoga to skincare, dog training, financial advice and relationship skills.

They even released four different titles on the exact same day as Judo Master Rising.

Now, I find it pretty hard to believe that a developer pumping out this many apps on completely unrelated subjects is carefully researching, writing and illustrating every single one.

Especially after seeing the garbage they sold me.

I’m convinced Judo Master Rising was largely generated using AI, and I strongly suspect they’re using the same approach, probably with reusable templates, for a significant portion of their other educational apps.

So I did some digging. Here are the other Lunaria Games titles I found that I’d be VERY cautious about:

Sports, hobbies and learning:

• Just Yoga
• Master the Flow Within
• Home Pilates: Transform Your Body from Home
• All About Dog Training
• Cat Tricks
• My First Kawaii Drawing
• Nail Design & DIY Nail Masterclass: How to Get Cute Fingertips
• Candle Making: Enhance Your Space with Fragrance
• Cocktail & Bartender Guide
• How to Become a Coffee Master
• The World of Japanese Tea Through the Way of Tea
• Chess Quest: From Pawn to Master
• Quiz Brain Workout

Self-improvement and wellbeing:

• Can’t Sleep? Meditation, Deep Rest, and Relaxation
• Daily Relaxation & Mindfulness
• Mindfulness Moments
• Better Listening, Better Connections
• Become a Love Expert!
• Grow Your Self-Esteem
• Breathe Free: Quit Smoking Journey
• Become the Smartest in the Room! Brain Power Boost Plan
• Mastering Metaphors
• Comedy Training: Become the Funny One!

Lifestyle and practical guides:

• Daily Skincare Routine
• Daily Japanese Breakfast Ideas
• Budget Recipes Daily
• Diet Recipes Every Day
• Resume Hero
• Declutter Guide
• Decluttering Journey
• Money Skills
• Work From Home
• Horoscope Secrets Unlocked

Obviously, I haven’t bought or tested all these other titles, so I can’t tell you whether they’re equally terrible or actually AI-generated. But given the sheer number of unrelated subjects, how quickly they’re released, and what I’ve personally seen in Judo Master Rising, I have some serious doubts about the quality of these apps.

And before anyone says “what did you expect for a few euros?”, that’s completely missing the point.

I don’t care whether something costs €5 or €50. If you’re selling an informational app with zero gameplay, THEN SAY SO ON THE STORE PAGE.

Don’t advertise realistic drills, intuitive lessons and an immersive training experience, only to reveal AFTER purchase that there’s literally nothing to play.

Especially when Nintendo generally doesn’t offer refunds for digital purchases.

I’ve attached screenshots of the actual eShop description, the disclaimer inside the software and some of the ridiculous illustrations.

If you’re considering buying Judo Master Rising, save your money. And I’d seriously think twice before buying anything educational from Lunaria Games.

Nintendo, how is this crap allowed on your store?

Hey everyone!
I’m planning to start playing through the Resident Evil series on my original Nintendo Switch. Since there are quite a few titles available on the system, I’m trying to decide which native port to play first.

For those who have played them on the Switch: Which Resident Evil title is your absolute favorite on this hardware, and why?

A few specific things I’m curious about:
How is the overall performance and framerate in handheld vs. docked mode?

How do the controls feel?

Which one offers the best balance between graphics, smooth performance, and classic Resident Evil atmosphere on the console?

Looking forward to your recommendations and thoughts! Thanks

For some reason even trying to start up the game Ghostly Whiskers on my Switch 2 it turns off my controllers immediately. I downloaded it (not sure if there's a physical copy) and was looking forward to playing it actually, seemed as if it were a neat co-op game that my father and I would enjoy.

I've had this maybe one other time on some other game? I simply just.. Uninstalled it (it was like a 2 dollar game or something from the e-shop) but I really want to figure this out because it didn't seem like this game was shovelware?
