    Man, I was hoping this would be a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of the Switch 2 itself. Looks cool though

    Apparently all reviewers are talking about a very annoying companion that is present for hand-holding, like telling you to save etc.

    (Haven’t read the reviews myself, but heard about it)

      Oh no… I’ve been avoiding reviews or any more previews, but that sounds like an annoying Nintendoism 🫤 I wonder if they believe it’s going to bring a massive amount of new people into the franchise, adding hand-holding and making it easier to get into (when it’s the fourth installment in the series… and you can officially only play the first one on modern hardware). I don’t know, we’ll have to wait and see, I’m looking forward to it!
