love the game, played through it in December. Do wonder why they're releasing this as an expansion and not as a sequel.

it's going to feel positively huge next to my Lite, but I'll be happy to be able to play it on my tv sometimes.

Tech wise this handhelds aren't that much more advanced than Switch 2 will be, the iGPU's are all around PS4/Pro-ish levels which the Switch 2 should be in that ballpark too and for a significantly lower price point.
If Nvidia keeps the Switch DLSS version up to date Switch will get all the fancy DLSS4 improvements that's getting back-ported (basically everything not including the Frame-Gen stuff), while this isn't getting FSR4. Not to say they don't have a market or their own benefits, the specs are much nicer and AMD CPU should run circles around Nvidia's aging stock ARM CPU.

@AllBLK Exactly, this is pretty normal in the tech world. Every phone and tablet has nothing to surprise, except the look of the color options when unveiled, because by then we've seen every single technical detail leak months beforehand.

The average person doesn't care, nor hears about any of this. So it still hits big when Nintendo holds their Direct

the new button looks like another screenshot button, probably so both split screen players can take pictures on it rather than only whoever gets to use the left joy-con.

We get so much spam on the eShop, but a couple 10 year old games + some newer entries can't qualify?

@MrCarlos46 Either way, if its Nintendo of America or the retailers getting consoles, the tariff cost is getting passed unto the consumer at check-out.

I get the point of a larger 8" screen for split-screen uses, & possibly media consumption if we finally get the streaming services on it, but that is unwieldly big for handheld gaming. It's going to be a giant jump from my baby 5.5" Lite screen which I consider an amazing size for most on-the-go gaming.

at this point this project feels like part of a money laundering scheme. lol

Really hope they have a Metal Sonic in there. He could give off Soundwave vibes

I love that their concept trailer implies doing all 23 movies (at the time) at once.. James Bond could have been a massive undertaking and franchise potential, specially if you do 2 Bond actors per game and then a Complete version at the end.

AMD has an FSR equivalent to support older games or just games that don't implement it, called Radeon Super Resolution (RSR). Even do Sony & Microsoft don't make use of it I think Nvidia could push something out the Switch could use, it's never going to be as good as the game specific version, but decent upscaling of older games with low resolution targets could really benefit.

Given it's pretty much a Star Fox 64 reimagining, which in itself was a Star Fox 1 reboot, just remaster Star Fox 64 3D for the Switch and call it a day. The franchise needs to move on from the past again with a sequel to Assault or a story between 64 and Adventure.

sucks that they're all using the same bikes. At least Vert should be riding a Harley or something.

this franchise desperately needs an engine upgrade. It barely looks any better than the ones I play on Vita.

"Near future super ninja goes out to defeat an evil group" is basically the extent of the plot of the series, so there's very broad ways to tackle this without really thinking of it as a videogame adaptation. Even Musashi's outfit is a pretty standard ninja look.

EDIT: Funny thing is if this is a hit I can see Hollywood jumping for the right to make a Ninja Gaiden project, maybe even Tenchu or Shinobido projects, just jumping on that bandwagon.

Since Zelda doesn't speak in this game, it would have been fun to have Link speak fully inverting the roles. Not like there's voice acting in the game anyway to give him a "voice".

a bit surprised they didn't change the name to "Like A Dragon Kiwami". Aside from looking a bit blurry it looks like a solid overall port!

To help with the controls, flip the analog sticks on the Switch menu, then select control style 1.2 in game. That gives you modern twin stick controls, aiming is still unwieldy but more comfortable. If you also flip LT and RT you'll get the full modern shooter controls.
