The dip in ranking matches my interest, as I haven't gone back to it since getting the first key.

I hope it's separate from the main game. I already got my 100% completion and having it get decompleted would sort of feel like having someone open the back of a book I just closed and shove a bunch of extra pages in it. The only reason I even bought Silksong at launch is because I assumed they couldn't have anything else they wanted to add after spending all that time on it.

So this will release sometime in 2034?

I’m waiting for physical either way. Hope they release physical with just the originally released version. I hate DLC generally always.

Out of all the old Mario games, this one honestly has some of my favorite tracks.

I am curious how the new content will unlock and what the difficulty will be. I love this game but I only played to the Act 2 ending and that took me something like 76 hours. I then started a new file to see how much I improved and finished Act 1 in under 6 hours. I want to go back to that second file and finish act 2 as well and eventually go back to the first file and unlock and play act 3.

Glad to hear! I heard rumors of DLC but it's cool to see them formally confirmed. I won't be hooked on the news cycle for the game though, but I'll definitely buy the physical whenever the DLC finishes and that launches, probably in 2027.

Straight to "Ending."

A top the commute-home play list it goes.

Liam Doolan, can you make a post that Super Mario Land has been added to Nintendo Music today?

I guess the broad media's campaign to destroy Metroid Prime 4 with their deranged hysteria over a dorky computer character worked. I also fault Nintendo for not releasing it early in the year, or even late 2024. It could have enjoyed almost undivided attention due to little else of consequence released on Switch at the time. Now, with all the distractions of other games and higher expectations for Switch 2 games (even if technically it's a Switch game), Metroid Prime 4 is lost. The sales results are simpler appalling for a stellar title like this. Whatever! I'm loving it to pieces.

Just repurchased Silksong on Switch because this game should not be only $20. Can’t wait for the new update!

Really undeserved, frankly. Had a good few months with it, there's a lot of depth once you get past the beginning, but, as I've said before, the game does a TERRIBLE job at really showcasing its own complexity. There's a reason tons of FE YouTubers lambasted the game when it first came out, then basically all unanimously retracted those critical videos after a few days.

@AstroTheGamosian Yeah, I'm just a nitpicker who also tells people that not every 3D animation is Pixar and not every field + blue sky is Ghibli

@Jason_Feiner best credits-roll music of all times.... Love it

I think the only question on everyone's mind is "how difficult will it be?".

😋

Darn. And right after I deleted the unfinished game on my Switch 2 to make room for games that are more fun and forgiving.

Super Mario Land has been added to Nintendo Music!

@DennisReynolds Whoops. Hogwarts Legacy is in the top 10. Another game the Switch 2 can run. Do I need to keep going?

Team Cherry yet again proving themselves the best developers out there.

More older games should have Switch 2 upgrades. Especially games that suffer from poor performance. I hate that Bloodstained Ritual of the Night for example is still a hideous blurry laggy mess even when played on Switch 2. And the developers have stated that they have no plans to further work on that game, so it's just gonna stay like that.

Meanwhile Team Cherry are updating their game that didn't even run poorly in the first place, and releasing it for free. Because they're the best.

@AverageGamer Hogwarts Legacy also pops up, but Cyberpunk is still considered no1, annnnnnd the Switch 2 can run it. Whoops.

Wow, crazy. That's awesome. They should have said it comes out in 202X though.

Ha! Glover's on there. Pich is going to be pissed about that

Booooooo, boring update! 👎

But what if I fall off the roof?

You sure they didn’t throw in the horse as a secret playable character that’s unlocked by complimenting the console on its stability via the mic?

@AverageGamer Um wow. Because it's not like grownups like Eevee. Did you need to come and defend your fellow troll? Grow up.

@DennisReynolds Digital foundry is FOS. Also, you're just acting like a troll. Grow up and get over it.

Never trust DF. Lol They've gotten plenty wrong.

I don't think I got the "best" ending for the original, so a Switch 2 update may be enough for me to replay it.

Awesome, man team cherry did such a good job with the art in Silksong that I was surprised looking back at Hollow Knight footage at how much more simplistic and basic it looks in comparison. Really cool they're doing all this for free, especially when the base games themselves are already insanely good value for money.

Nice! I played Hollow Knight on PC many years ago. I’ve waited on Silksong because of my back log but may grab the original and Silksong on Switch if they both go on sale soon.

@Ploppy
Please see comment #26

Fire Emblem Shadows, never played it, don’t have an opinion. Might be the worst thing ever. But the Metacritic score is based on a whopping five critic reviews. Five. Never mentioned in the article strangely enough.

Maybe when the Switch 2 version comes out I’ll finally finish the darn thing.

But is it really an expansion or just a catalyst for another game?

GOAT status. I’ll be there as soon as it releases.

@michellelynn0976 You also haven’t provided evidence on why Cyberpunk is a more technically demanding/advance game. Also telling someone to grow up on gaming websites while using a eevee profile picture. Talk about pot calling the kettle black

@Gs69 @link3710
Yeah the compatibility thing can be odd sometimes, theres definitely games which work fine despite some minor issues while there are also games which are marked as working but have some notable issues (Klonoa for a while wouldnt boot, also the FMV issues in Trails from zero/azure i mentioned prior in other comment sections, though unsure how they are now)

Kind of feels like the steam deck verification thing, more of a general guideline than a gospel truth and can often be worth looking into some games if you are unsure.

Here before it becomes its own game and takes 9 more years to release.

I got Hollow Knight on sale but still haven't played it so the Switch 2 Edition might be a good excuse to finally play it whenever that releases.

Team Cherry is the goat. Super excited to play Hollow Knight at 120 fps as well!

@Spider-Kev Have you enjoyed any of them?

Graphics are great, just make sure I've got my frames.

@canaryfarmer MindsEye is probably the most (in)famous game in that top 10.

@michellelynn0976 Say that to Digital Foundry. Also take your own advice.

I'll most likely not play any of these and I don't expect many of them to be winners, but I've been good about downloading all of their free games every day so far on both my Switch 2 and my boyfriend's Switch 2, and he actually enjoyed Retro Drive! Made me happy to see that he enjoyed one of their games!

Here's hoping I can keep it up every day and just net us a bunch of free games! Good luck to everyone else who's participating!

Bout one of the only good things you can say about Metroid Prime 4 yeah the graphics look great. Although recently replaying Metroid Prime remastered those graphics are still amazing and feel on par with what the switch2 can do

Nice, hopefully the framerate is gonna be much more stable in docked play and crashes are gone because otherwise this is a really great conversion.

You're really tempting me to pull out my physical copy and play this, Larian.

@DennyCrane Wow, I haven't seen the Bamboozle guy in yonks!

The lack of care in ensuring the product shares parity doesn't really make sense when accounting for such old games with miniscule file sizes. That coupled with the fact the emulation environment is likely known by the devs and could've simply been delayed if the process was less simple for Switch.

Smacks of pushed out the door to make money quick.

@PikaPhantom considering the latter is practically the spiritual successor of Concord down to the tee of the social media accounts acting like entitled snobs at any remotely negative criticism I’m gonna put a dollar on Highguard. Nintendo EoS games typically last awhile. Certainly more than how fast Concord died.
