Much has been made of Nintendo Switch 2’s sales during the holiday period, but with the December 2025 Circana U.S. sales report having just been released, it paints a more positive picture. Last month, Nintendo Switch 2 led the hardware market in both unit and dollar sales. The same also goes for 2025 as a whole. Thanks to that, the...

    Was it last week when the threads about the Switch 2 doing worse during the holiday season were all over everything? Lol

    Nice to see Metroid Prime 4 in the top 10! Hopefully it did well enough to consider a sequel.

      I’ve heard mixed things about Prime 4. That it’s just not nearly as good as the previous ones.

      I assume you played it and liked it if you want a sequel?

        It has some issues, but I enjoyed it. I think a new game would be done from scratch by Retro, whereas in this case they inherited a half baked thing from Namco and had to build on top of that. Thay would probably make it a much better game. If they take in the feedback from 4 on top of that, it’d be amazing.

        There are moments where it feels great, like what you think Metroid Prime should feel like, but largely it’s a pretty mediocre game, sadly.

        It functionally feels good - the gameplay is solid. And it looks great. But it’s soulless, and the story they try to put in there is pretty weak. Really unfortunate.

        Yeah, lot of the old guard are getting to (and past) retirement age. But that doesn’t mean Nintendo will stop making these games. They’re just going to train new people. If the game sells, they’ll want to make another one eventually.
