At some point I will get a Switch 2, but for now I'll buy the Switch 2 version, play it on my OLED Switch 1, and then eventually maybe play it on my future Switch 2. BOOM.
Have we had any ACTUAL CONFIRMATION that this is going to run at 60fps like the Prime remaster did on Switch 1? I am assuming so but it'd be nice to have actual confirmation.
These are obviously amazing games but they really should have added a button that when held would automatically draw in the star bits. And also Yoshi's controls could have been mapped in some way.
I agree with some of the others.. I don't think this in ANY WAY "confirms" this will be "open world".. kinda a dumb premise for the article IMO. I have faith this will be awesome and people are way overreacting.
@Bigmanfan Umm that's fine and all, but how can you say a game "that big", and it's not even out yet and no one really knows how "big" it is? Also, it's funny that your username is "Bigmanfan", considering. haha
@NinChocolate Same. Sure I'd love one but I'm not feeling extremely compelled. Partially the price (which I do think is reasonable, but still) and really not that many amazing reasons to have one at launch. Not a huge Mario Kart guy and if Prime 4 looks as good on Switch 1 as the remaster did, I'm perfectly ok with that. Fast Fusion does look great but not great enough to warrant the system just yet.
People are making wayyyy too big a deal over the prices for all the Switch 2 stuff on the internet.. because of course they are. The only thing I find kind of silly if not unreasonable is charging $10 for the Nintendo Tour. Nothing else, considering all the economic factors and costs of development have me grabbing my pitchfork. Nintendo I think is bearing the brunt of a lot of frustrations.. bad timing I think.
Yeah the backwards compatibility excuse is rather lame. Who would actually make those connections?... welll since this is super it must be like the super nintendo which wasnt backwards compatible. That's giving the average consumer way too much credit.
I'll chime in with the chorus and say this is really cringey of Nintendo. It's like.. either make it small enough that you dont have to charge for it or don't do it at all. And if you charge $5 for it that also just seems petty. Not a good look any way you slice it.
Playing this now and I'm really enjoying it. However, the button mapping or lack thereof is a little maddening. Every button does the same thing. Insane that they don't have a "map" button at least.
I also think $30 is a little steep. Didn't the Doom and Quake games come out at like $5!? Yeah I know they diid some extra work here, but still seems a little aggressive.
I get that the controls probably were not suitable for everyone, but this was always one of my favorite games on the 3DS. Sweet graphics, story, epic bosses, etc. I think including the stand was a bad idea. I never used it, and if your game requires a dumb stand you probably should not make the game at all. Including the stand already put the idea in people’s minds that this was a “hard to control” game and was something of an admission right out of the gate.
