Hey Punchers! Looking back at the entire Switch life cycle, what was the most memorable first party Switch game you’ve played, and wish to be ported to the Switch 2? Do you think Nintendo will do what Sony does with their first party games, as in create a PS5 version of their PS4 releases with unlocked frame rates and upgraded fidelity? Assuming hypothetically Nintendo would, what kind of upgrades and improvements would you want said game to have? I personally want Tears of the Kingdom to have a Switch 2 upgrade so we can have more things to attach when creating things with Zonai devices. Love to know your thoughts.

2024-12-16 22:20:24 +0000 UTCHey puncher uppers! With the Switch life drawing to a close, do you guys have any recommendations for Switch games that you think didn't get the attention they deserved? Switch exclusives that came and went, and maybe didn't sell well or get enough praise. My recommendation would be Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. That game was really excellent and I don't think it got the recognition or sales it deserved. Platinum Games really killed it with all their Switch games, in my opinion, with Astral Chain, Bayonetta 3, and Bayo Origins, and I wish more people would have bought and played those games. Looking forward to hear your thoughts!

2024-12-16 17:04:29 +0000 UTCHey PU crew! They held a broadcast today for the Tales of 30th anniversary where series producer Yusuke Tomizawa said that Graces f is the first in a line of remasters they plan to do. As someone who has never played a tales of (jumping in with graces f!), I defer to ya’lls expertise on telling me which games should get remastered next?!!?

2024-12-16 15:59:08 +0000 UTCWith so many games released in 2024, what were the unsung games of this year? While I've only gotten around to playing their demos, for me it has to be Anger Foot and Mullet Mad Jack. Excellent first person shooters with insanely unique mechanics, and in Mullet Mad Jack's case, an unbelievably gorgeous 90 OVA anime style. Sad to see no one at LSM playing them.

2024-12-16 15:50:00 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas punchers! I’ve had switch 2 on the mind a lot lately. Am I crazy to think that Nintendo could release a first party licensed pro controller with back butttons/paddles? Or even crazier, release the stock switch 2 with joycons that have back buttons/paddles on them? I play a lot of games on everything and consider myself somewhere between casual and hardcore but I have really grown accustomed to having, at a minimum, two extra buttons on the back of my controller to assign to one of the face buttons or right or left stick clicks. Now I know Nintendo is usually the last to bring features to their consoles that the other two have implemented for years, and technically Xbox and PlayStation already have back button support on first party controllers, but they aren’t what comes with the consoles. We’ve had all kinds of leaked patents for the new joycons and they have new features.I don’t think it’s too crazy to add a back buttons to each joycon, or at the very least offer a pro controller with them. What are your thoughts?

2024-12-16 14:54:31 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas Punchers! Do you guys have any good Nintendo related Christmas memories? One of my earliest memories is getting a GameBoy Colour with Links Awakening at Christmas, whilst my siblings got their GameBoy and Pokemon.

2024-12-16 10:26:06 +0000 UTCHey Punchers this write in is mostly for Micah. Micah I started 7th Dragon Code VFD and I have to ask when does the story pick up? I don't mind it so far but the cast doesn't stand out much besides the Rabbit guy he is hilarious and savage. Also got any tips and advice for the combat? Any particular class combos I should use in party etc? I think I got the hang of it since I unlocked the buddy system which I must say this combat system is well designed! Also I have to ask did you actually listen to this games OST when you played? I have to know anyway I'll shut up and listen now. Hope you punchers have a happy holidays and enjoy the time off!

2024-12-16 07:50:22 +0000 UTCi just got the Dragon Quest 3 platinum -- for that I printed out an 83 page guide. maybe if I played on Nintendo without trophies it would have been a much different experience. no regrets though; i enjoy cozy grinding for level ups either way.

2024-12-16 04:02:26 +0000 UTCHey Punchers! I was wondering if you guys are planning on gaming resolutions for the new year? E.g. Completing a certain of games per month, trying new genres you typically don’t play, or maybe SWITCHing up the platforms you normally play on?

2024-12-16 03:41:26 +0000 UTCHi Punchers, As you know there's very "Mature" content on the eshop, like hentai puzzle games but not really having real adult content. We'll anyways it's seems that at NOA/ NOE have changed their stance, cause recently according to Idea Factory (publisher of the Neptunia games).Have told Gematsu that the trilogy of Neptunia games and new Deathend re;Quest game(already in japan) are cancel for the switch in the west. I know that these nep games were originally on Ps Vita and got T ratings. If this happens then even Sony isn't as strict. So do you think Nintendo is out line ,since none of these games have adult ratings? P.s. I will urge people to message Nintendo of their region and japan to state they don't want this. Cause, look I know these games aren't for everyone. But they sure have more effort then alot of these fake AI hentai games.

2024-12-16 03:02:03 +0000 UTCWhat’s up Pup Chups! I am going to be traveling for Christmas and I have been trying to work my way through some classic JRPG’s. I have gotten through Golden Sun and Chrono Trigger. What other JRPG’s would you recommend for the SNES and the GBA. I am emulating on Delta.

2024-12-16 02:11:10 +0000 UTCGreetings, what are your predictions for a full blown reveal of the Switch U? By this time in the transition to Switch from Wii U, we saw a trailer of the Switch in action and knowledge of more to come in Jan 2017. Do you think we will get something in Jan or will all be revealed in one go?

2024-12-16 01:58:45 +0000 UTCHey block punchers! All these Switch 2 leaks tell me this thing was meant to be revealed way earlier than expected. Why do you guys think the reveal would've been pushed back? Do you think the January reveal rumors sound realistic? Thanks for all you do!

2024-12-16 01:00:26 +0000 UTCHey Heroes of Legend, I’m curious, are there any games that you find yourself going back to over and over again? For me, it’s Pikmin 3, specifically the challenge missions. I’ve played Pikmin 3 for over 100 hours on switch. No matter how much I play, I always enjoy hopping in between games or when I’m waiting on new releases. Do you have any comfort games that you return to weekly, monthly, or yearly? Best, James S

2024-12-16 00:25:26 +0000 UTCGood morning Rupee Hoarders, What's a random IP you want to see brought back on switch two? I want a new Drill Dozer, or a sequel to Hideo Kojima's best series, Boktai. Excited to hear your wild ideas, Chris's Solar Gun Wielding Uncle Lucho

2024-12-15 23:44:56 +0000 UTCPunchers, Do you think we’ll get a new installment of the StarFox series on the Switch 2? If so, what would you like to see from the series? Thanks, Zach

2024-12-15 23:29:35 +0000 UTCHi Punching folks, what new game announced at the game awards do you think will make it to Switch 2? Not announced but I would suggest that Astro is coming to Switch 2, keep doing good work, Punch Up!!!

2024-12-15 23:29:16 +0000 UTCWhat's up punchers. What are your guys thoughts on the Switch 2 leak that happened over the weekend and the claim that it will feature an LCD screen and not an OLED. Does this impact your excitement for the console knowing they will probably release another edition with the OLED in the future.

2024-12-15 23:27:03 +0000 UTCHey brickdumpers, what did you think of the Astro Bot team thanking Nintendo (without mentioning Nintendo) in their Game Awards acceptance speech? I loved it, and am also so happy Astro Bot won GOTY. Cheers and take care!
