Trying a new team setup where Goku uses his B Assist to gain meter that can help Ultimate Gohan powerup quicker. I am looking for a good character to play on point for this team. What are some good options?

Now, this is quite interesting. The soundtrack to the SNES port of SimCity is on the the Nintendo Music app. Maybe we'll finally see the game added to the SNES library NSO Classics? Nintendo and EA are on pretty good terms now...

I understand people want a new 3D Mario or Smash 6, but these are the first party games confirmed for 2027. How is this a bad lineup if you're a Nintendo fan?

Nintendo crashing GTA VI's party of being the only major release in November with the OoT remake is pretty funny.

I have never played the Persona games before. Which one of these two is the better choice for a newbie getting into the series for the first time?

I would be playing these on a Switch if that affects anything.

I am also not the biggest JRPG gamer, but I do enjoy stuff like Dragon Quest and the Tales series if that affects anything.

I am just curious about these games, and figured now might be a good time to jump in.

If anyone can help me, I would be grateful.

So, here's how the fifth fastest selling console stands compared to other popular systems and why it's a pointless argument to make.

So first, here's the top five fastest selling systems ever.

  1. Wii 101.63 Million Units Sold

  2. GBA 81.51 Million Units Sold

  3. PS2 160 Million Units Sold

  4. PS4 117.2 Million Units Sold

  5. Switch 2 23 Million Units Sold(Still active)

For the record, here are the systems the Switch 2 is outpacing in terms of fastest selling systems

Switch 156.59 Million Units Sold(Still Active)

Nintendo DS 154.02 Million Units Sold

Game Boy and Game Boy Color 117.2 Million Units Sold

PlayStation 102.49 million Units Sold

PlayStation 5 95.3 Million Units Sold(Still Active)

PlayStation 3 87.4 Million Units Sold

Xbox 360 84 Million Units Sold

PlayStation Portable 80 Million Units Sold

Nintendo 3DS 75.94 Million Units Sold

NES/Famicom 61.91 Million Units Sold.

So, my entire point is that in a single year, the Switch 2 is the fifth fastest selling system, surpassing the likes of the DS and Switch, and all this is without it's heavy hitters like a new 3D Mario, Pokemon Winds and Waves, a new 3D Zelda, or Smash 6.

And being released in arguably one of the worst global economics the world has ever seen and when gaming as a whole is facing serious issues like AI gobbling up components.

All this and the Switch 2 is selling at a fast rate, only surpassed by four extremely popular systems in their time some of which like the Wii were more fads than anything else.

Now, imagine what happens when games like Pokemon Winds and Waves arrive that push hardware sales.

This is why I think Smash 6 is not going to cut as much content such as fighters or stages as everyone thinks. Smash Ultimate sold on the sheer ambition of it's roster, of its scope. If anything, I expect Smash 6 to double down and try to be bigger than Ultimate.

I have finally played Banjo Kazooie for the first time on the N64 Classics Library on NSO and I am enjoying it!

It's such a fun and charming game and every bit as good as Super Mario 64 without being as bloated as DK 64.

I am shocked this game has passed me by for so long, but then again, I don't have the nostalgia for the N64 most people have

I loved the NES and SNES, and then mostly played PS1 and Saturn that generation, so I missed many of the N64's classics, and when I did catch up on past Nintendo systems like the Wii, I was focused on games like Super Mario 64 and Banjo fell under the radar when I play my Xbox.

But better late than never and I am really enjoying this game.

Hell, I am even tempted to buy the duo in Smash Ultimate.

But for now, I am happy I finally played this game. It's every bit the classic that everyone says it is.

It never ceases to amaze me how a story arc that has 80 fighters in the Tournament of Power, Gods of Destruction sparring with each other, a smaller tournament between Universe 7 and 9, and various other small training matches has arguably the worst representation in the game since the use the same
