@gcunit Exactly. This is how the Gran Turismo games used to control before analogue triggers were a thing.

Oh, nice. One of my favourite games of the last decade for sure. Been thinking about replaying this on Switch 2. I thought it worked pretty well on the original Switch so this upgrade is the icing on the cake! Really hope they release BG3 for the console next.

EDIT: Huh, I've read the other comments now. Disappointing that 60fps only applies to docked mode. My Switch 2 (and original Switch) have been 99.99% handheld machines only.

@Serpenterror The sheer arrogance of stating opinion as fact. 🤣

Grow up, mate.

@Serpenterror Don't be so ridiculous. There are plenty of excellent mobile games. This just smacks of a terrible 'hot take' to me.

Played a couple of hours on Switch 2 and enjoyed it but got distracted by something else. Good to know there will be some improvements when I go back (honestly it's only really motion aiming I'd really want them to add).

EDIT: Good god, the replies in this thread. Barely finished, sub-par, bad port. Get a grip. It was absolutely fine 🤣🤣🤣🙄

@Potreo Well, it turns out I must have upgraded my Skyrim to the Anniversary Edition at some point anyway and forgotten about it because the full Switch 2 version is showing as free for me in the store 😆

@Smerd It's not free though if you have the original cartridge release of Skyrim. Only if you already paid to upgrade to the anniversary edition. It's a shame they couldn't patch the original to look and run nicer instead of forcing anyone who wants to upgrade to the only available Switch 2 edition of the game to pay for an Anniversary Edition they might not want or need.

As for yet another Skyrim release. Bethesda aren't just flogging a dead horse at this point. They're positively hiring a necromancer to resurrect the dead horse from a pile of glue and hair and fvck it in the a$$.

How disappointing. Hope this doesn't foreshadow the Fallout 4 release next year. I'll be sorely disappointed if that one also turns out to be a turkey.

Please don't let Mario Kart World win GOTY.

This is currently free for mobile via the Epic games store.

I have a Google Pixel 9 and a Switch 2, but I still don't want people seeing my stupid face when I'm playing games.

I'll add it to the list for a big sale, but Yakuza 3 is easily the worst in the series. Such a dull story.

Adding this to a sale list. Looks great.

@jamesthemagi and guess what... and again!

Huh this looks pretty damn cool actually.

I can't see it anywhere on the eShop 🤷

Damn, that's disappointing, I've been waiting for a Switch port. I don't understand why developers aren't focusing and optimising for Switch 2 by this point. It could have run much better if it had been ported natively to that, I'm sure. Hopefully they fix it, but otherwise they've lost a sale from me.

@Warioware Yes, I can't imagine what kind of disturbed mind would play these games with English voice acting. 😆

I've only played Zero, K1, K2, 3 and Judgment, but Kiwami 2 was far and away the best of them so far, for me. Adding this to my list for a sub-£10 sale pickup.

I actually really enjoyed this when I played it back on 360 but two important things, firstly I won it in a competition, and secondly, it was the first Hitman I played properly. If the port is decent, I'll pick it up half price somewhere along the line.

Absolutely incredible collection. Although I suspect it might be, I hope this isn't the last DLC for this. There's no reason it couldn't just grow and grow.

Nice to see such a low upgrade price. Maybe it's time to wipe my island that's been left unloved since 2021 and rebuild from scratch! Now we just need another lockdown...

Not sure I'd be overly fussed about Halo coming, played them all enough times and bought the MCC for about a fiver on Xbox earlier this year. But... Would love to see the original 3 Fable games make their way to Switch and Psychonauts 2. Still hoping EA release the Mass Effect Legendary Collection for Switch 2 but it's looking less likely the longer we go on...

100% getting this. Love Fallout 3 and 4 and whilst I would have preferred New Vegas as it's the only one I haven't played, I have been hoping we'd get Fallout on Switch for ages!

This is excellent on Switch. Enjoying it way more than I did on Xbox. It's perfect to pick up and play when you have 30 minutes spare to do a couple of gigs or a side job. Performance is generally impressive and honestly, I can't tell any difference in graphics from when I played on Series S. I actually think it looks crisper in handheld if anything.

This looks cool. I always enjoy scrolling beat 'em ups but they get a bit repetitive after a while and I normally lose interest before the end. With some story thrown in and the rogue element, this could be more interesting I think.

And yet another month goes by and yet another month we still don't have Mario Golf Advance Tour for the GBA on the online service. Honestly, they're trolling us now with utter dross like Bubsy.

RELEASE. MARIO. GOLF. ADVANCE. TOUR.

It's not hard, you useless halfwits.

@BanjoPickles That's a strange view to have. I don't think this looks particularly great, but if we stuck by "in a world where X exists, Y is pointless" we'd only have about ten different games.

To be honest, I was hoping they'd just release the 3, 4 and 5 triple pack to Switch 2. If they're going to Kiwami them all up it's going to take ages, and the story in 3 is terribly boring. (But I've not played 4 and 5 yet).

Another month rolls by and still no sign of a number of Mario games being forgotten about by the Switch Online service. They made a song and dance about his 40th anniversary, why not give us the GBA golf and tennis games? Mario Pinball? The service is ridiculous.

Oh I hoped Nightdive might do this at some point...

@OldGamer999 Yeah Zelda is nice at 60fps. It was still one of the greatest ever games at 30fps though, so... 🤷

Is there any difference between the Switch 1 and Switch 2 versions in handheld?

Typical greedy Nintendo. They should have been £19.99 each at most. I doubt I'll pick Galaxy 2 up as I have 3D All Stars for the first game and still barely touched it.

@Misima I can't argue with any of your points, you make a good argument, but I still expected, or perhaps, hoped for more on the Switch 2 from this series.

@JumpingJackson Or just play other games? This is the only media we have this discussion about. Why are there not people crying out for a more accessible version of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake? If they want to put difficulty modes in, then fine. Give players more health, deal more damage, but don't patch things to change it for everyone so we all have to play an 'easier' game.

And accusing everyone who doesn't want things to be made easier being people who have "nothing else to offer society" and being "insufferable pricks" says far more about you. It's possible to want the game to remain as it was designed without being an "insufferable pricks". Jesus... 🤦🏻

I don't think it needs to be made easier, but more beads is welcome. I think enemies ought to drop more, or more enemies drop them.

Making bosses easier though? No. Moorwing took me about 20 goes, and I loved it. When I finally beat him it felt like an achievement. Some games are harder than others.

@Altaria_97 That's the biggest issue for me with these games. Want to boot up an old version to play offline career mode? Tough luck, servers are gone. Absolutely no excuse not to let players play their career offline with no servers. We should be holding devs more to account for things like this, I'm amazed it's legal. Effectively locking off your game after two years.

@Misima But the Switch 2 isn't cheaper. It's more expensive than a Series S, which runs the game at 60fps. It's on par with a digital PS5, which runs the game at 60fps. There are plenty of games on Switch 2 running better than this. There are no excuses.

Oh this is disappointing. Much like you, I got in to Basketball through the 2K games. In fact, it was lockdown, I watched the Playoffs (in the bubble) and became a Heat fan. Subscribed to the League Pass every playoffs since then, and really got in to the games. I had high hopes for this on Switch 2. I actually enjoyed 2K20 on Switch back when I played it, but then experienced the game on the 'big' consoles and it was a totally different thing. Smoother, sharper, just better in every way. I really wanted a good handheld option this year but, alas, I'll wait for next years version (or pick this up for a fiver at some point next year...)

@jojobar Why should they? Releasing it for $10 would be crazy.

That Japanese price is considerably less than the European price! Wonder why. I mean I have no issues with paying £19.99 in the UK, but wonder why it's the equivalent of about £12 in Japan?

@Rovelius I was happy paying for the service in the first place. This (button remapping) is just something that's useful (and yes, should have been there all along).

I remember pirating Outlaws back in the early 2000s and having a right game trying to get it to run even in Windows XP. Another awesome Nightdive re release? Yes please! He Man looks cool too. Obviously Indy is a cool one but not convinced it'll run great, it wasn't perfect on Series S. Doubt I'd pick that up, but at least it means big AAA titles are coming to Switch 2. Now where is Fallout 3 and the Mass Effect trilogy...?

@Cipher36 Yeah same, at £14.99 it's no longer an impulse purchase really. I just don't think these games are worth that for me, personally. Shame the Arcade Archive series very rarely goes on sale either.

Reviewed better than I thought it would, but I can't see it doing any numbers when Rocket League is available for free.

@HexagonSun Yeah all fair points. I do hope they think about how they might best implement Wii games if they ever do come to the service. I am dubious though, they'd need to put in some sort of 'choose which games to download' feature (and ideally would let you do this on the GameCube app as it grows, too) otherwise we'd end up having the app be 100+ GB.

@HexagonSun They'll just use the gyro, they won't do anything else. Exactly how they did it for Mario Galaxy on the Switch. Shame because the gyro is never as good as the Wiimote for accuracy but Nintendo are hardly known for putting any effort in to the control schemes on the Online service.

@HexagonSun I could be wrong but I don't think the Switch 2 joycons have infrared sensors so a sensor bar wouldn't work at all with them.

Mario Maker 2 Wonder Update is a nice idea. I'd just love to see Mario Golf Advance Tour hit the GBA app and Galaxy 2 appear somehow.
