I was supposed to play Resident Evil, but then Raiden Fighters Collection and Kyukyoku TigerHeli were released, so Leon will have to wait. Shump Time!

@SillyG I asked this question on the Digital Eclipse Discord server, and they confirmed that the only differences are graphical upgrades in the Switch 2 for the menus. Also, from what they told me, buying one digital version will also get the other, even if the saves aren't compatible.

I played it a while ago on PC and it's a masterpiece for RPG lovers. The only problem for me was that it's only available in English, which isn't my native language. There's a lot to read, and the lack of my native language made the game a bit tiring.

@theberrage No Ubisoft Connect, the game was published by Atari under the Ubisoft license.

I haven't decided yet, but for €20 I would have preferred a single collection with both games in multiple languages, with online multiplayer. In short, something that justified this price.

Interesting, I bought the Switch version for €20 and now with another €2.50 I could upgrade. For a total of €22.50 I'll get the Switch 2 version, which costs €17. I don't find it fun.

The Switch 2 edition hasn't been released on the European eshop yet, but the Switch game has been updated. Maybe they've added something to the Switch version too, I don't know. If the upgrade only costs €2 or €3, I might get it.

Console Archives is great news for all retro gaming enthusiasts. Starting next week, Ninja Gaiden 2 will be playable on PS5, where NSO isn't available. On Switch 2, we have a game that was previously exclusive to Sony platforms. It's nice to have more options. I picked up Ninja Gaiden 2 both because I prefer having the game in my digital library rather than tied to a subscription, and because I find Hamster's offerings richer in options.

I think it's time for me to go from 100% to 112%...

MIO and Fighting Force Collection (tomorrow).

Wow, almost 196 hours on Xeno X and I feel like I'm missing something! I should do another 4 hours I guess!

I wanted to buy it, but next week's game is Space Invaders Part II / Deluxe, so I think I'll spend my €8 on that. However, the second game is an update of the first with a few changes; they could have included both in the 500 release rather than doing two separate releases.

@The_Nintendo_Expat Yes, a Ubisoft account is required, even if it's useless there are no achievements or rewards to earn. To play without a Ubisoft account, you must put your console in offline mode.

A great game, about 20 hours to complete, and a lot of fun. The developers have announced new content coming next year. The only downside is that Ubisoft put the game on sale for 33% off just few hours after release. And I had already bought it at full price, but it's worth the price I paid.

For those who own both Switch 1 and 2: I bought the Switch 2 version, I can download the Switch 1 version for free from the eShop with a 100% discount! Nice.

This is great news! Unfortunately, I've already completed the game 100%, ugh.

Interesting game, perhaps a little expensive, but in the end I won't resist and I'll buy it. I loved The Terminator on the Mega Drive; it was faithful to the movie. The only flaw was that it was very short, only four levels if I remember correctly. I was disappointed because I finished the expensive cartridge in an afternoon, but it was good even if it was short.

I have the Skyrim Anniversary Edition for Switch 1 and can download the Switch 2 edition for free from the eShop. It doesn't look like an upgrade pack, but rather a new version to download for free. Maybe it's possible to have two editions on two different consoles, I'll try.

Edit: I confirm, they are two different virtual game cards!

I wanted to play Metroid 4, pre-ordered months ago on the Nintendo Store, but the shipment is lost somewhere in space-time and I have to wait. Luckily I can play Blood ... again

"Play a simple jingle" seems really trivial and pointless to me. It could have been done like in Dread, where I could get ammo or recover health.

@Serpenterror I don't think so. The PS4 version has graphical effects that the Switch 2 version lacks; look at Lara's hair for a comparison. I think it's still the PS3 version, with a more stable frame rate and higher resolution.

An excellent port of a great game. The only downside is that there are two different versions for Switch 1 and Switch 2, with no upgrade option. And the Switch 2 version seems to be identical to the Switch version, aside from the boost in resolution and FPS. Too bad.

@ROMhaiku I like having all my digital games installed. For Switch 1, I bought two SD cards for a total of 1.5 TB. I already got a 256 GB SD Express for Switch 2. I prefer changing SD cards rather than downloading games from servers; it's more convenient for me.

@Danrenfroe2016 Thanks for the heads up, no price yet, hope they release it as a standalone DLC.

Great news, I'm really looking forward to this game. Plus, the generation pack is a great value, but it's a shame it doesn't include the deluxe version of Requiem. I hope there's a future option to upgrade to the deluxe version, but there isn't one right now

@Solid_Python Thanks!

I'm curious to know what the differences are between the two versions. If there are no differences, I'd get the Switch version so I can use it on both consoles. However, publishers could write on the eShop what changes when a game is available for both consoles. Both versions weigh 27 GB.

I'm downloading a large update for the game for the Switch 1 version. Are there release notes for the update on the Switch version?

I'm going against the grain, but I really enjoyed it and played about 40 hours to complete all the extra modes. The combat system is very solid and well-crafted, but I understand that the aesthetic might not be to everyone's taste. It's a shame the online mode has no players; in two weeks, I've only managed to play two matches, and in one of them, it crashed at the last level (with no option to rejoin the game, ugh). I'd give it an 8/10 for me.

Honestly, this reason—the slow reading speed of the game cards—isn't convincing to me. If that were the problem, it would be enough to always have the entire game on the card, but with partial or total installation required on the console's internal memory...maybe I'm too doubtful, but it didn't convince me.

I would have liked it if they'd sold a Virtual Boy replica with the games included, given the limited catalog available. I probably would have also paid a higher price for a specific collectible. But right now, it's tied to the subscription; if I decide not to renew it or get the basic subscription in the future, I'd just end up with a useless and expensive piece of plastic.

More difficult than the first game, but if I persist, I can manage the difficulty. However, I think all games should have an assist mode that allows the player to customize the game if they find it too difficult. I don't think it would take much to implement, and it would always remain the default mode designed by the authors for those who can handle it.

Silksong on Switch 2 and Fear Effect on Switch 1, which has now become my retro console.

I expect there to be cross-play with other platforms as well. Otherwise, I think FUT mode, and therefore 80% of the game, is probably useless. That's my opinion, obviously.

It's a fantastic game, taking about 8 hours to complete 100%. The game world is quite small, and there's absolutely no need for a map; I think that would have made the game too easy. Also, in the larger levels, once you reach the end, you're back to the beginning; it's impossible to get lost.

@The_Trooper49 They work great, with rewind, assist mode, and online leaderboards. Some games allow to choose between different versions—Japan, USA, etc.—plus, each collection takes up about 70 MB in microSD card, less than 10 MB per game!

A really great package! The only downside right now is the mod support; there are only two maps available, compared to the dozens available on other platforms. I hope they add more curated mods. But why doesn't Nintendo allow users to upload their own mods? 😞

I've definitely played them before, and yes I've bought them again on Switch! This is my fourth game today, and it's a fantastic day for my wallet

Gradius Origins, UFO 50 and Operation Night Strikers (which is missing from the poll).

They haven't revealed the most important information: whether the Switch 2 will have cross-play with other consoles. That would be a step forward; right now, FUT on Switch is very limited.

Even the worst, I like it and I think it's a big step forward compared to the first Switch model. How does it compare to the Game Boy screen? I liked it a lot, and I played with the console for more than 10 hours

Very interesting video, I like to disassemble consoles and see how they are made, but it takes me years to find the courage...luckily there are these videos! My newly arrived Switch 2 is safe for a few years!

I always wonder why these leak videos or images are always of such poor quality. Maybe like in the movies they are chased by lawyers with katanas, and they have to make the video quickly, I guess

I would say that we have to wait, but the "primary partner" prediction seems excessive to me for a portable console that will always have compromises. Switch 2 is rightly behind the performance of PS5 and XBOX, due to its portable nature. In 5 years the gap with future consoles from Sony and Microsoft will be even higher. It will probably be an important partner but hardly the primary one, we'll see.

So in the future they will make a revision of the console with OLED screen, without GameChat and with 3GB more RAM

I don't think I'll use it, I would have liked Discord integration because my friends who I play online with are there. It could be useful for casual or younger players, the ads I've seen were all about GameChat, so Nintendo is pushing it a lot. My doubt is that they are advertising the new console with a feature that will require a subscription and a camera to be purchased separately. It doesn't seem like a good choice to me, I have this feeling, I don't know

I'm not interested also because I already have most of these games in my library. I'm not convinced by the choice of games in these collections, it seems to be completely random. Actually not really, Aero Fighters 2 and 3 are in two different collections for the happiness of fans of the genre.

A great game that I completed years ago. I don't plan on playing it again but a free update is always welcome.

Honestly, it bothers me more that there are no more vouchers and gold points. Before, with €100 I could buy two Nintendo games and I had a €5 bonus for the next purchase.
Now to buy two Nintendo games it will take an average of €150. It is a significant increase for those who bought games regularly. For those who already bought 2 or 3 games a year I think it will not change anything between €80 or €90. The increase will hit hardcore players, I will always spend the same money but I will have less games.

I'm interested in this pac-vania, my doubt is if I buy the Switch version can I then do a free upgrade to the Switch 2 version. Or if it's better to wait for the Switch 2 version to come out.
