Not surprised, the game looked like it was running at 15fps. Wouldn't be surprised if its being optimized for Switch 2 or there's a Switch 2 version being worked on.
@FX29 You have to read between the lines. He didn't say he was surprised it was revealed, just that he was surprised it was revealed at this particular presentation (as opposed to a different presentation).
In other words, Expect there to be a Switch 2 version of this game.
@outsider83 The Industry and all of gaming are more than ready for Switch 2 at this point. Hopefully Nintendo announces something in the next few months.
@SpeedRunRocks They have been trying to find the Original Jill actress for years with no luck. They had a single name to go on but they weren't even sure that was accurate.
@DennisReynolds Agreed. It's completely acceptable on Switch, if you're looking for portable play. If portability doesn't matter, definitely check the game out on another console.
That said, It's a great game at it's core regardless where you play it.
@CurryPowderKeg79 If you want a physical version check out Videogamesplus. It's a Canadian site that ships to Anywhere in the US. Keep in mind its the EU version as there is no NA physical version because Bandai Namco. It also comes to about $52 USD which is a decent price all things considered.
Iirc Metroid Prime was one of the first games ever to use a HUD that actually made you feel like you were behind the visor and in the suit.
It was so innovative that almost every fps that released after it tried to emulate it in some way, in their game. Definitely looking forward to see what (if any) new features and innovations they add to the HUD in MP4.
@LXP8 This sounds like a better more focused (yet still open) version of Friends of Ringo. Just added to my wishlist. Hopefully I can pick it up this Summer.
@KateGray Yea, It looks absolutely gorgeous running @ 4k60fps on my PS5. If you have a Xbox (and Gamepass) you should definitely check it out running at a higher fidelity.
This game is a full remaster with tons of new changes, graphical improvements and new content and is on sale for $20. Meanwhile Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a bare minimum update and is $60. This doesn't make any sense...🤔
Not sure what Nintendo is thinking charging full price for this. It's a very basic port/remaster and is a shorter experience than LM3...with no new content.
Definitely gonna wait for a sale or price drop on this one.
Nintendo has some nerve charging full price this game, with no new content. Fully enjoyed this on 3DS but just can't justify paying $60 for a barebones remaster.
This definitely needs to happen to give players (new and old) a chance to catch up on the series before they release KH4. The cloud versions don't count and were an awful compromise
@JohnnyMind Sounds like I'll be pre-odering from Amazon UK. I understand why they did a double pack in NA but it just comes off as being greedy and forcing us to pay an extra $30

Re: Penny's Big Breakaway Dev Downsizes Due To "Volatile Market Conditions"
@Ultimapunch Maybe they should have factored physical sales in those long term philosophical management decisions...🤷♂️
Re: Cosy Lord Of The Rings Game 'Tales Of The Shire' Delayed, Will Arrive Precisely When It Means To
@Ulysses Agreed..but I think it's a weird time now for most developers/publishers. It's that time period where you start to wonder if you should
1. Hold off your Switch OG release for a Switch 2 release instead
Or
2. Release a Switch 1 version now and create a Switch 2 port later (if Switch 2 doesn't have game performance boost capabilities for Switch OG games)
Re: Penny's Big Breakaway Dev Downsizes Due To "Volatile Market Conditions"
@mlt I'm still waiting for the Physical version. Not sure why they have taken so long to offer this game physically on Switch...

Re: Mini Review: NBA 2K25 (Switch) - Sound The Buzzer And Call For A Sub, This Baller's Washed
ThIs franchise looked "good-great" during the 360 era. How does it keeping looking worse every year on Switch? 🤔
Re: Back Page: Dark World, Lorule, Termina - A Voyage Home To Hyrule Via Zelda's 'Other' Worlds

Re: Trails In The Sky Dev Apparently 'Surprised' By Recent Nintendo Direct Reveal
Sounds like he thought they were going to reveal it at a later date...maybe as part of the reveal of something else from Nintendo...🤔
Re: Capcom's Hideaki Itsuno Leaves After 30 Years, Starts New Role In September
@MirrorFate2 I hope not...Resident Evil didn't die after Shinji Mikami left after all.

Was low-key waiting for this review. Thanks NintendoLife ✌️
Re: Nintendo Direct August 2024 - Every Announcement & Game Reveal From The Indie World & Partner Showcases
Nintendo Directs always bring some hype/hope. Couldn't imagine this industry without them...
Re: Video: Marvel vs. Capcom: Fighting Collection 'The Punisher' Spotlight
@gsilver A Taiwanese site recently had it listed as November 22nd, iirc so most speculation is that the release will be sometime in November.

Re: The Plucky Squire Physical Release Announced
Don't be surprised if this ends up being a LRG release.
Re: Joyous Storybook Adventure 'The Plucky Squire' Finally Gets Release Date
@Cathalm I'm guessing Limited Run Games will end up doing the physical edition for NA. They have done digital devolver releases in the past.

Re: Funko Fusion New Story Trailer Revealed, Out On Switch This November
"When Worlds Collide" . Surprised they didn't use this tag line.
Re: No Man's Sky's 'Worlds Part I' Update Brings A New Level Of Detail To The Universe

Re: Review: Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition (Switch) - Returns For Another Pass With A Top-Flight Port
@MontyCircus That's not always the case but I will definitely check it out. I have the EU physical ordered and will do a DLC test from the NA store.
Re: No Man's Sky's 'Worlds Part I' Update Brings A New Level Of Detail To The Universe
Yea, I don't see this new tech coming to Switch...or if it does it will be heavily paired down.

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Datamine Supposedly Uncovers Evidence Of New DLC
@MirrorFate2 It works fine. It just loads super slow sometimes.
Definitely looking forward to more DLC content as long as it's not rushed out and is content complete.
Re: Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Reaches Another Sales Milestone
@Yosher The Bardock DLC is really short but sweet. Playing through the World Tournament saga now.
This is easily the best DBZ game when it comes to putting you into the World of Dragon Ball. Glad to know it sold so well
Re: Japanese Charts: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Vacuums Up The Competition In Its Debut Week
Those Xbox hardware numbers... yikes 😬
Re: Review: Tchia (Switch) - A Brilliantly Fun (And Surprisingly Adult) Animal-Hopping Adventure

Re: Talking Point: Could Another Nintendo Series Take Over The 'Traditional' Zelda Template?
Can another franchise pull off the "Zelda formula"?....Didn't Enix try this in the 90s?
Re: Random: It's Now Been Seven Years Since Metroid Prime 4 Was Announced
At this point, MP4 is almost guaranteed to be a cross-gen game.
Re: Surprise! Shovel Knight's Original Adventure Is Getting The Deluxe Treatment
Yea, This should be a free update or at most a minor paid update to those that already own the original DX version...
Re: Crazy Taxi's Axel Joins Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble This Fall
Ah yes, I can just picture an entire generation of gamers responding with..."Who?"
Re: Hands On: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Delivers More Than Just A Hi-Def Upgrade
Not sure what Nintendo is thinking charging full price for this. It's a very basic port/remaster and is a shorter experience than LM3...with no new content.
Definitely gonna wait for a sale or price drop on this one.
Re: Konami Promises To Continue Improving Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1
60fps on Switch 2?? Would that be too much to hope for? 🤔
Re: Random: Here's How Much It Costs To Showcase A Trailer At Summer Game Fest
Ya know, I really miss E3... 😮💨
Re: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Is Looking Suitably Spooky In New Japanese Trailers
Nintendo has some nerve charging full price this game, with no new content. Fully enjoyed this on 3DS but just can't justify paying $60 for a barebones remaster.
Re: The First Review For Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Is In
@Olliemar28 No way is it 60fps, so I guess the best we can hope for is a super stable 30fps. Really hope they haven't dropped the ball on this...
Re: Poll: So, What Are Your First Impressions Of LEGO's Zelda 'Great Deku Tree' Set?
Looks great...but seems a bit Overpriced. Congrats to anyone who wants and snags this!✌️

Re: Review: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Switch) - Still The King Of Mario RPGs
@Ulysses Interesting theory. Do you have any examples of this? Like particular games that seemingly preform better on the OLED?
