Well, I have downloaded the update 2.0.3 while playing my PS5 version of Fantasy Life I.

This is my GOTY for the year, I had an absolute blast with it.

I couldn’t get into it but my husband loves it to the point where he platinum the game. He’s currently enjoying the DLC, so good for them for making a game that people love.

Great numbers but can't help but feel they'd be quite a bit higher had they not decided to skip physicals in the West. This is totally the type of game plenty of people would happily buy a physical version of, either for themselves or as a gift, it being digital only must have hurt its reach, especially as a full price title.

Time for a Switch 2 version now.

Definitely kinda sounds like to me that the Switch version is definitely going to continue to lag behind the main console version. Unfortunate but makes sense considering they are already stretching it in terms of the PS4 and Xbox One versions in terms of timelines for future development

Yeah... No... I want a different hunter game.

I would much prefer a new entry to the series. I had a blast playing Rise

One of my favorite games on Switch 2. Love all the updates!

I have the game on Steam. It’s okay-ish but Rise is better but unless they seriously gimp the S2 edition of Wilds it’s going to run like garbage.

world's first game to run at negative FPS

Rise is such a better game. Played Wilds but it felt extremely lackluster in both content and monster variety. I hope the next team does better for the next game.

Sure it could come, but this feels more like a left over piece of code from another project.

Much more likely that Rise is getting a Switch 2 edition and the code was simply copied over from that considering they run on the same engine. The Engine itself has probably had some code updated considering all the Switch 2 projects Capcom are working on and it just so happens that Rise is the first game to see this Engine side update.

I wouldn't read much into it. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing considering most considering Rise a much better game

My understanding is that this game is absurdly power hungry, often for no discernable reason. It sounds like it should have a lot of room for optimization if Capcom throws enough money and programmers at it, and given it's the biggest black mark on what's mostly been a stellar few years for them, maybe they'll actually put in the effort to fix it.

That said, I will be very surprised if they manage to get a Switch 2 version running with decent visuals and anything approaching a stable frame rate.

Wilds is fun, but it's still pretty poorly optimized. I'm not sure if the Switch 2 could handle the game in it's current state, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

What I really want to see is Switch 2 versions of Rise and Worlds. Rise is so nice at 60fps and I'm sure Worlds would run nicely with DLSS

I played MH Wilds at a friends house on his PS5 and thought it was neat. I'd be willing to give it a shot if the game ran well and didnt require a 70GB Game Key Card.

Given how poorly the game runs on significantly better hardware I can't imagine a Switch 2 port would be at all functional.

Congratulations for the milestone! I may end up not picking this up because I'm busy with other games, but I am keeping my eye on it for far in the future, especially if they release an updated physical cartridge revision with all updates on it when the updates are finished.

Fantastic news. Amazing game ^^

Info just broke concerning how Switch 2 will avoid a CPU bottleneck. Apparently it will utilize DLSS, cull NPCs by 50%, reduce foliage and we can already safely assume lower textures.

It also mentioned local wireless multi-player. So ya, it looks like it's happening!

I'm gonna laugh when this game runs just as well if not better than other versions (albeit at 1080p 30 frames but that's a given).

I definitely wouldnt turn my nose at Wilds on Switch 2, if true... But at this point, I feel like I'd much prefer a 60fps upgrade to Rise.

I just love the flow of the game, including the more arcade-y playstyle, riding Palamutes, and flying around with Wirebugs.

Needs some serious optimization on all platforms

Doesn’t “switch 2 upgrade” suggest a S1 version? God I can’t begin to imagine how horrific that would be if the game couldn’t even run on PS5

Put over 90 hours into the PS5 version and still haven't noticed any bad performance issues, infact it's been one of the best Monster Hunter games I've played. Been streaming it on the Portal whilst the misses plays on the PS5 so we can play together, but if they bring it to Switch 2 with cross play then I will buy again.

I'm going to laugh if somehow Wilds ends up running perfectly on Switch 2. lol

Just infuriate all of the non-Nintendo gamers out there. xD

@Dimjimmer MH Wilds and Oblivion Remastered fighting for who can be worse.

The game that just received "Worst PC port of 2025" by Digital Foundry? That's going to be a wild one, for sure.

Do they have the ability to optimize it for Switch 2? It barely runs well on the base PS5 and the PC version is horribly optimized.

@Shade_Koopa ...Which sucks because I enjoyed 4U, then I go into World all excited for that team and...it was my least favorite game in the series. x_x

I'm going to hope that Wilds is at least better than World.

Unless this comes with cross play to play with the other consoles, I don't have much interest in Wilds. I still prefer the other team that made Rise. Much more fun in my opinion. ^^

The video is about 99% previously known information and actually has a pretty big mistake as well in it. But generally it was a good video.

Capcom would be better making monster hunters rise switch 2 edition or bringing monster hunter world to switch 2 than trying to bring wilds over. That game came out too soon on the other systems. They should have optimized it better before its release. A switch 2 version of that would just be bad. Monster hunters stories 3 though will just have to fill the void until they make another game like rise for switch 2 that can be brought over to the other systems.

Wasn't a huge fan of World/IB...and Wilds seems to be similar to that game. I've seen gameplay videos/streams...I don't know how to feel about it, but lost interest in it. That said, if it does come to Switch 2, I'll still give it a chance since it's still Monster Hunter.

@Thomystic Ooh, I haven't heard of that one! I'll have to check it out after work, thanks for the tip!

@the_beaver That seems like a very good prediction to me. I think you might be exactly right. And I hope so too! That would be very fun to have Pikmin get that much attention. I love Pikmin 3 Deluxe and a Switch 2 upgrade would be fascinating, as it is so close to perfection as it is. Pikmin 4 is a great, long campaign but desperately needs content in the multiplayer and mission mode options. Finally, Pikmin 5 in the next year or two would be amazing. Especially if it toned down Oatchi a bit and gave us three playable characters again. My big question would be: what colors/types of Pikmin would Nintendo dream up? Guess we’ve got orange and brown left in the visible spectrum (if you count glow Pikmin as green). I suppose you could do silver and gold or something like that, or even rainbow colored Pikmin. Historically each new entry introduces x2 new Pikmin types so we shall see!

Feel sad for Metroid, but unfortunately the poor sales are deserved. Hopefully it will be a wake-up call for Nintendo to stop shoehorning in open world slop in every franchise.

Mario Kart World will surely fall away once the Bundle runs out of stock.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake was such a triumph in gameplay and combat mechanics, and it's a shame FFXVI couldn't build from it (since it was a separate development team I believe).

Having an actual party with banter is essential - it's the ONLY reason FFXV did as well as it did, yet for the very next game in the series, they made it a one-man show. I don't care if it's open world, linear, turn-based, or a fusion. Give us characters to journey alongside.

Haven't touched Metroid since after the first key and made it to the desert, so this tracks. 🥱

@DennyCrane Exactly. By Nintendo’s own admission it wasn’t the game it could have been because they had to both build up a team that could do it and had them work on a concept that they weren’t involved with from the start.

Prime 4 was obviously a much more expensive endeavor in the end than they ever set out for it to be but now they have a team with experience on a Prime game they should have a much smoother and streamlined process for a new one. Would be crazy to get a team set up for Metroid just to do something different after one game (especially one they didn’t get to pitch themselves). Sales figures be damned anyway- Nintendo keeps making Metroid games because of what the series represents for them and not because it’s a money spinner like Mario/Zelda etc.

@Max_the_German I meant the team is tailored for the MP4 game and so it's sequels as well. 2D would require a shuffling again

I personally very much enjoyed it and appreciate the effort that goes into making such. Kudos all around

As I mentioned on TimeExtension, wouldn’t mind controllers sliding into the base unit as seen about 10 minutes in That first industrial design was overall quite cool! Too bad they got worried about dust (or maybe not too bad but too bad for that design)

@CaleBoi25
I'm surprised you didn't mention Splasher! It's a bit like Splatoon combined with Super Meat Boy. Perhaps you already know about it, but it's $2 right now on very deep discount.

Also, does this mean you like Paper Mario: Color Splash? 😬

And thanks for the tip on Ink

@Max_the_German Poor critical reception? You're exaggerating, sir. The game has a 79 on Metacritic. That's far from poor. Perhaps, poorer than what was expected, but definitely not poor. Makes me wonder what you would call a game with a 37.

You all know this game is already available for both Switch 1 and Switch 2 right?

The game actually costs a hundred million. And nintendo let's say makes a profit of thirty five dollars from each game. They need to sell at least three point five million copies to turn a profit of only a few million........

No BLUEY on Top 40 this week? 😟

@somnambulance I just really missed having the three controllable characters. I enjoyed 4, but I haven't played it once since the credits rolled, and I replayed 3 immediately after beating it. (I'm 46 so it's not because I was a kid back then either ☺️)
