A good review, ideally details the differences/upgrades/quality of life improvements would get me to pick this up. It better be a 9/10 minimum from my trusted sites though.
A good review and an eventual 20$ price point will get me to buy it. But I’m guessing the game with the “already own the original” discount is going to be like 20% off. So it’ll be a long wait for me.
Y should be actions and B should be jump imho. The old snes layout. I’ve always hated the fact that the NES and GB/GBA two button “B & A” action and jump showed up on four button controllers because “nostalgia” 🙄. It’s not the same when the design is diamond shaped rather than almost beside each other.
@VoidPunk @Lazz Thanks for the suggestions guys! To be clear I’m the gamer from this era who will probably love this game. And I enjoyed the parts of the review that detailed the general set up of the game.
It’s just, I have SOOOO much backlog, that knowing there are games like a ninja gaiden or a contra or a golf or a basketball or a micro machines or a puyo puyo or side scroller beat em up or a fighting game or etc etc style games in it adds to my likelihood of getting it rather than not really explaining any. I get the surprise is the appeal but I still could use a genre list. Lol.
@VoidPunk This was exactly my fear. I get it’s asking a lot for 50 mini reviews, but this reviewer didn’t even give their thoughts on a single game. Lol. Sure a sentence or two saying the game they played was a Metroidvania may work for some readers but this is maybe the worst “review” I’ve ever read on this site 😂🤣
As an aside, are there any decent reviews out there that actually cover the games in this?
@Slideaway1983 I have not. I looked it up though and it seems more music sim/teaching app than arcade style game but didn’t have time to really research it. Is that what it is or am I mistaken? It may be too much for me at the moment if it’s a teaching app. I actually started teaching myself the piano a few years ago with Pianote and playground sessions and already do 30-60 min a night with it. Hahaha
I’d like a guitar hero or rock band like game to come out with plug and play technology right into the tv. No more need to be tied to a console. Add a subscription or dlc set up for future updates/releases.
Upon reflection, it’s a shame they couldn’t get a game on the switch 1 though as now the switch 2 BC functionality would have kept it going for 8-10 years I bet.
@Thomystic The positive press I’m seeing has me very interested in it. I’m going to need to hunt around and see if any review covers every game on it (switch or otherwise). If you spot any decent ones that really explain the game please feel free to respond!
Wow. When I got an n64 and we wanted to take a break from competitive multiplayer we would do co op hexen. I don’t think we had a clue what we were doing though. May have to give this a try. Lol.
Question. For anyone who has tried it on switch 2, does it play as excellently as the first remaster on the switch 2? That game was horrendous on the switch but the switch 2 joycons have made it damn near perfect.
If Nintendo outright said “no” I’d be a lot more bothered. But they just said they have to get permission. I don’t think that’s too much in today’s heavy litigious and irresponsible society where even a charitable act can be turned into something else.
I was hoping for some switch 1>2 update packs being revealed in particular. To hold us over a bit. And then the two things I really wanted to see, and I get I’m not the majority here, but I wanted halo collection and I was hoping for the resident evil 4k series (3, 4, 7, 8). I get they’re ports and even available as online titles. But I’d like em on switch 2 🤷♂️🤷♂️
At least the hd 2d action rpg can scratch my secret it mana remake itch.
I hope next they’ll add some additional graphic filters for the snes. The one I use on my hacked mini is basically just their scan line smoothing but with the lines removed. Looks so much better, to me at least.
@JakedaArbok coincidentally that’s the last wwe game I played! Lol. Are there any decent “new comer friendly” reviews out there that go into details with how these games function and what the different modes are? For any system really.
@MeatSauce Thank you for the response. Do you have any recommended review videos I could watch (not necessarily of just the switch version) that really explains how the game works and could educate me a bit on it all? The biggest problem I see with the yearly game reviews is that many kind of cover the games as if you’ve played the series before.
The videos showing this game running similar to ps5 level is insane. Especially after the abomination that was 2K18. I may have to get this afterall. Thoigh I’ve been out of the wrestling game loop for so long I have no idea what to do in this game.
@shoeses I’m very confused. I simply said I’d like to see superstars get content added and then you responded to me countless times saying I’m wrong because it costs too much. And that I’m greedy and selfish and how dare I say such a thing. As if that has something to do with me saying I’d like to see content added. They could add it like they did with Mario kart where they doubled the size of the game as dlc or through the subscription. Or did that never happen 🤷♂️
@shoeses sorry about that. I sometimes forget how much of a struggle it can be for people to read an opinion they don’t like and how upset it makes them. I will do better in the future to just say everything Nintendo does is perfect and that I’m totally satisfied with it and that I have no suggestions or alternate ideas for things I’d like to have instead. Hopefully my reply here will give you peace now and you won’t be so upset in the future. 👍
Also a suggestion to help you out in the future. Don’t put words in peoples mouths or change what they’re trying to say. For example that dollar amount you just made up on your own that I never stated. ☺️
@BTB20 It’s just bizarre to me to see someone get so livid over another person expressing an opinion. Like I said. I often forget people don’t allow that anymore.
So anyway. Sorry for upsetting you so much 🤷♂️. I didn’t think saying I would have preferred the other Mario party game get enhancements, add ons, or dlc would make someone this angry. I’m guessing when Mario kart 8 got all that dlc you were equally furious. But anyway, it’s not good for your health to continue this discussion so I’ll just leave you to it in peace. ✌️ ☺️
@shoeses I see people still get triggered and infuriated if someone online shares their opinion. Next time I’ll just happily accept whatever Nintendo is providing and not dare mention what I would rather have had. My bad. ☺️.
I’d have preferred updates to Mario party superstars. 4 to 8 more tables and 50-100 new mini games plus the usual the 60 fps and 4k upgrade would have been all I needed.
I’m curious to see price of them when they start selling separately. I may pick that up standalone. I like a nice joycon grip for my motion games like skyward sword and mario galaxy. Hopefully the Etsy grips I ordered come next week and are decent. 🤞
I’ve mainly been working on tears of the kingdom the whole time. Briefly doing some co op Mario kart and trying hogwarts. I have 800+ switch1 games still so honestly I’d like to see some more “updates” roll out and I’ll still be busy for a looooong time.

A good review and an eventual 20$ price point will get me to buy it. But I’m guessing the game with the “already own the original” discount is going to be like 20% off. So it’ll be a long wait for me.
Re: Two Of The Worst Mortal Kombat Games To Be Included In Legacy Kollection
They gotta get that Shaolin Monks remastered someday. I loved that game. Never could finish it though.
I wonder if they’ll go for original accuracy or do some quality of life options for some of the games.

Re: Yooka-Replaylee Is Now "Content Complete"
I dunno. If it reviews well and has the right price i think I’ll still get it. I’d like to play it on the switch 2.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo For Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary

I hope they add all the new & remastered resident evils at some point. 3,4,7,&8 I think.
Re: Switch Online's SNES Update Has Apparently Upgraded The CRT Filter
I wish they’d add a smoothing, which could just be the scanlines without the lines like the hacked SNES mini can do.
Re: PSA: You Can Now Remap Super NES Controls With Nintendo Switch Online
I hope next they’ll add some additional graphic filters for the snes. The one I use on my hacked mini is basically just their scan line smoothing but with the lines removed. Looks so much better, to me at least.

Re: Review: WWE 2K25 (Switch 2) - The Best Wrestling Game You'll Find On A Switch
Im going to Black Friday this one so I can get the most complete option for a fair price.
Are there any reviews out there that cover all the different modes and settings for someone who hasn’t played the series in many years?

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
@BTB20 lol. How mad did I make you to get this many responses all day? 😂🤣
“ It's great that you would have preferred Superstars to get additional content, but the amount you said you'd want is not at all realistic.”
Why? Didn’t they double Mario kart 8s size years after it came out?
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
@Markatron84 Hahaha, I know, I’m a true villain 😂🤣
But honestly I just get really baffled how mad some of these guys get when I’m just like “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if ____”. Or “I’d really like ____”
Like Nintendo isn’t reading this stuff. They’re not going to punish anyone for talking about ideas. 😂🤣

Re: Rumour: Major Third-Party Devs Reportedly Sitting On Multiple Switch 2 Announcements
Capcom will release all the ps4 era resident evil games on switch 2 is my guess. Bundle or separate. Maybe 3&4 and then 7&8.
