Terminator 2D: No Fate is out today on Switch

Wil need to try that Pragmata demo this weekend. Really intrigued about it's sci-fi elements and see if I can get behind the hacking/shooting mechanics it proposes.

Though first, gotta play more Octopath 0 and Metroid Prime 4 !

As long as it's not a streaming only version.

There's actually a boss in Donkey Kong Country 3 that references The Terminator.

Glancing at the calendar….

It looks as though we’ll have a clean slate up until Mario Tennis Fever (unless you’re into third party— then you’ve got FFVIIRemake & RE:Requiem). Good opportunity for me to catch up on my backlog! Might jump back into some 2025 titles; might take advantage of my new gaming PC to do some emulation. Not too sure ATM.

I’m really looking forward to MTFever, Yoshi, Rhythm Heaven, and Splatoon Raiders!

You know, I just thought of a very good idea for a thread: What’s Coming to NS2? (2026 Edition) [Thread]. Keep it updated with first-party and all the heavy-hitting third-party releases coming in CY’26. That way, I won’t have to be searching up hundreds of different resources to remember whats releasing.

For me, I am already looking forward for FF7 and DQ7, Requiem and Crimson Butterfly, and I won't get MTF (that's an interesting acronym) at launch, but am looking forward for Pokopia too, so the first 3 months of the year are well stacked for me.

The only thing that sucks about all these big 3rd party games making their way to Switch 2 is that almost all of them require Game Key Cards - Which completely defeats the purpose of my rule that I had for Switch 1/2 where as long as it was under a certain about of GB, I would buy it digital, but if it was over than I'd buy it physical.
(Ex: Donkey Kong Bananza - 8.5GG, Digital; Metroid Prime 4 - 31.6GB, Physical.)

But there's no point in that rule when it comes to Game Key Cards, because I'll have to download all that storage either way; Which means I have to get a microexpress SD card with plenty of storage space because that 256GB internal space for Switch 2 is simply not going to cut it. And I want to get one with PLENTY of storage (at least 1 TB) but those cost a freaking fortune at the moment (Lexar 1TB microSD express cards for example go for around $200 on Amazon.)

Me, having just killed a notoriously hard secret boss in Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door on Switch.

I'm getting System Shock next week, FFR7R in Jan, Resident Evil Requiem and Village in Feb, 007 First Light and Fatal Frame 2 in March, and Pragmata in April.

My backlog has reached ridiculous proportions too, I have like 30+ PS4/5 games waiting in the wings, and I still haven't finished Prime 4 or gotten around to Wizordum on Switch 1.

So much to play, so little time.

Tried out the Pragmata demo albeit the one on Steam, the game feels like a cross between Vanquish and RE4, combat has a unique puzzle element to it thanks to the hacking mechanic which I found to be fun and not too tedious, imo this is one to look out for.
