If you bought it and enjoyed it, good.

If you bought it and were disappointed, thats a shame.

If you haven't bought it, your choice.

Geez

That sounds a bit like Ben Starr. He's cool but is in everything nowadays.

@teo_o Seems to me that Nintendo is a bit more clumsy with anything technically developed outside of their own in-house studios. Nintendo needs to tighten the reigns a bit for big franchises like Smash Bros and Metroid (say what you will about Metroid, but it's on the front page of their website as one of their main franchises).

@Oppal21 Oh my god you can't be this wrong, "a better machine"... hilarious way to put it

@Cd3xt3rw4rd All the big titles the Switch 2 is getting, I meant. I thought it was clear, but I'll edit.
Games like Cronos, DQ VII, REquiem, MH Stories 3, 007 and Pragmata are coming out at the same time.

Fun fact: This game was almost Japan exclusive, but Nintendo self-published this game on United States. It only came out in EU via a Virtual Console download.

After recently playing elden ring nightreign my excitment for duskblood has gone through the roof. Didnt think id get along with an online fromsoft game but i guess i shouldnt have counted them out.
Fire emblem looks awesome too. Easily my most wanted nintendo game. It would take a zelda or xenoblade game i think to take its crown.

@Duncanballs You're kind of proving my point.

@Zeldork A better machine will make it easier and less costly to port a game. You're not pushing back the way you think you are. Yeah it's a bad port but if this game was ported to PS5 for instance. You wouldn't get this level of flaw. Stop trying to deflect away criticism of the Switch 2. It's a fine handheld that can act as a console. But it's just not very powerful at all is all I'm saying. And yeah cyberpunk and your outlaws game are both examples of costly ports. There's a thing called budget and that's where these ports usually get their quality from. So when your porting a 12 year old game that's already been ported to everthing and rereleased with all its content multiple times . The people who decide on budget are not going to spend as much money for that same level of effort. Also those games use the "A.I slop" as apart of how they function . So It also makes it easier to consider that as part of the porting effort whereas Tomb Raider 2013 didn't have those kinds of considerations when it was being made. So they can't rely on that part of Switch 2 to lean into when porting. You can use the word lazy all you want but the reality is the devs who work on these ports work hard. It's just budgets determine how many there are the time they spend and the talent they use to do these ports and how much resource to give to this project versus others and you see the result. So a better machine makes up for the reality of business.

I've lived in the American South for a lot of my life and wouldn't mind increasing the number of games I have that were set there from 0 to 1. I never owned Bayou Billy on NES.

Wow. My comment really triggered this thread. Although it was just a bit of humour, maybe I wasn't that far off the mark after all.

@SirLink why do people feel the need to make comments like yours, in "what I should enjoy" and "how I should enjoy it"? Total toxic "positivity". It's not ridiculous either to look at things the 360 version of this game did much better in shadows and lighting and feeling like this port wasn't a full effort. For my money, minus the fidelity, the 360 version looks better. When the launch trailer came out for this, my first thought was "I thought this game looked better than this back in the day." Was surprised when I looked at comparison videos that I was right.

@KingMike Ah, I understand now! Thank you for clearing it all up for me!

The concept of indie has changed so much in the past 10 years. There should be terms like mid-size and small-size instead. They filled up 2 or 3 rows there and still contracted out parts of game development. Just their core team was 3x the size of the GoldenEye dev team.

@Duncanballs or how about adding back in all the shadows and great lighting they removed that was in the 360 version. Even tho it's lower fidelity that game actually looks better, in my opinion

The headline makes it sound like it's still coming out, just no longer for Switch.

Great to see arcade like games are still being made. Nowdays my backlog is so massive that "too short" is a positive.

@Zeroo I know what indie means and indie don't have a $10 million dollar budget. If they do, they're no longer indie. Maybe you're the one who doesn't understand what indies are.

Been telling myself forever that I was gonna try Rune Factory 4 Special, and I finally dove in. It's got its hooks in and I imagine this will be my game for a while.

@the_beaver “all the big titles on the Switch 2 day one” Nice example of wishful thinking, because so far I don’t really see a slightly near situation like that you described. Also for future I see that announced games scarcely make their way to Switch 2. At the same time I really hope that from the two of us you will be the one who will be right on the long run 😉

I’d say marvel ultimate alliance is my favorite of the bunch here, tho I’m suprised not more have chimed in on cosmic invasion as their favorite. It’s very good also but has a shorter play time. I really would like to see another ultimate alliance one day. I’d like to see them make one without some of the frustrating parts like the jumping thru laser beams sections.

Very dissapointed in Cosmic Invasion, I was hoping it was like Shredder''s Revenge, but its not even close in quality. Absolutely loved and completed shredder's revenge cus it was a joy.

Cosmic Invasion is just mediocre at best

Jeez… This game runs just fine and smoothly at 60fps. It's damn fun, and I'm glad to finally have a port of such a great game on the Switch 2. I wish people would just learn to enjoy great games like this and stop overanalyzing things nobody asked them to, either because they’re not published by Nintendo or because they feel the need to act like scientists for no reason.

NA. Pops more and has better composition. Love the Japan style, but there's just no focus.

I want a Marvel Ultimate Alliance 4. I enjoyed the 3rd one thoroughly. Put in about 350 hours. I want to buy Guardians for the PS5. I have have Guardians Telltale but haven't played it yet.

This also gives me DK and Pauline vibes, but it seems it was announced much earlier than Bananza. And it's a dynamic that seems to work.

Their creators voice sounds incredibly familiar... sort of like Robert Webb of Mitchell and Webb / Peep Show fame.

The trailer looked very cool, considering self and the wife enjoyed the heck out of It takes two (except for constantly waiting for that title song to never appear lol) and we've got Switch 2 version of Split Fiction waiting for my holiday break to play through. Great to see more love given to couch co-op games.

Strongly recommend not playing through "It takes two" with a friend that you might play Gears of War with... there's a lot of sloppy scenes in there 😅

@The_Nintendo_Expat
Why don't you start sentences with a capital letter?

@shoeses DKCR was utterly terrible they should have used the Wii version as the base not the 3DS version. (It’s not like they can’t do it as they did okay with Galaxy 1&2).

Ideally it should have been remade in the tropical freeze engine. (Ironically the only time I can think of them doing this is Paper Mario but that broke the framerate.)

I had never heard the term "Latam" before. And I basically live there.

Come one EA and Hazelight, release a Switch 2 upgrade of It Takes Two!

I like them both and like the arrangement of the NA one better. But the motion blur is a bit tacky, and that castle does not look like Wily's. They must have gotten that from the wrong series. So I went with Japan.

@Markatron84

To be fair, the Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection contains seven games.

These lists don't usually limit themselves to Switch. It would have been cool to see these next to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1&2, the SNES Spiderman and X-Men games, and of course NES Silver Surfer. 😆

Obviously Pokemon Pokopia is the first first-party game key card. But is it also the first $70 game key card? That's a lot of money for still having to buy a micro SD card.

dark souls needs one

I enjoyed playing it on switch 2. It looked nice and ran well but there were some weird checkerboard effects on background textures at times.

@PinchedCake6 The NES market was so behind in Europe (I'm less surprised each time I see or hear of a PAL version game being three or four years behind its US counterpart). I've heard they barely got FIVE by the end of the market life (though to be honest 5 is the scarcest game in the physical NA set so I imagine the PAL version of it is even rarer), so it's too not surprising that #6 wasn't officially seen over there until the 3DS VC.

@Olliemar28 It's worth noting that Knight Man and Wind Man, two of the three Robot Masters presented on the American boxart, were created by Nintendo Power readers. At least I'm pretty sure I got that right.
It is speculated that the contest was one reason that Nintendo chose to publish the game in North America.

Though I think Freeze Man (from 7 on the SNES) was spotted among the entries showcased in NP. I also remember a Clown Man, but I'm not familiar enough with 8 (Saturn and PS1) to know if it was necessarily the same design.

Have to say I was really excited then really let down by the original model, reviews of the follow up were mixed so I didn’t bother trying it out.

While I don't particularly dislike the stock joy-cons, I finally found the Mobapad M6 HD which is the premium style controller that was missing for most of the Switch’s lifetime.

Will keep an eye on this regardless.

@link3710 thanks for the reply I didn’t experience anything like that guess I was just lucky glad to see that even minor or rare crashes are being fixed

I plan on getting Mario Tennis Fever through gift money, because otherwise it's a maybe for me after the underwhelming Mario sports games of the Switch 1 era. I had a decent time with Aces, but it didn't last long at all.

I really wanted a S2 edition of Mario Wonder so I can give the game another chance. I'm hoping that playable Rosalina is true and there's more bosses. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book just needs to be better than Crafted World to be a win for me.

Tomodachi Life is my second most hyped game behind Splatoon even though it's a Switch 1 game. I adored the 3DS game and this looks to be a bit more ambitious, so I just want to see a more advanced Mii creator right now.

Kinda-sorta forgot one in that there's Marvel DLC for Pinball FX.

@Gs69 AFAIK a rare random Switch 2 exclusive crash. Most 'incompatible' games are still fully playable on Switch 2.

@The_Nintendo_Expat

If I were to nitpick your comment, which I would never because it is your reserved habit around here, I would just relax and bathe myself in hot source waters, rubbing some of my end against your Costanza avatar upper curves.

Onsen-tamago.

Because no, "Japanese people (...) have" NOTHING "against utiliZing composition"...

But "you people" should be ashamed of such generaliZation.
