Wait, there's a color Balloon Kid, why wouldn't they give that to us?! Also, we already have NES Yoshi, so kinda no reason to play the GB version.

This is still such a stretch...they really missed the opportunity to have Virtual Boy on 3DS without needing some overpriced accessory like this to enjoy the games in proper 3D :-

Oh, nice, now if only I could wishlist it already...but now I know when to keep an eye out for it finally!

@ImpromptuR At least right now with the Switch version on sale for 50% off, it's $10, and then the upgrade pack is free. Not sure why the Switch 2 edition isn't equally on sale though...

I'm still more excited to try out Star Trek Resurgence, esp WITHOUT combat on the Switch version. I feel like that's one thing almost no Star Trek game gets right — most episodes do not feature ship combat, so why always make that such a big focus in the games? Star Trek: A Final Unity is possibly the only game to understand how to make a good Star Trek game that feels like you're playing through an episode.

Niiice, this and Mario 2 have my favorite music, glad it's added.

They should update their firmware. Many random Chinese-branded Switch 2 travel docks have already gotten firmware updates that make them compatible with the newest Switch 2 firmware...

Any word on fixing 3rd party dock support that the previous update broke?

Great, I've been waiting to hear about this...just wish they'd get an eshop listing so I could wishlist it already!

As many others have said too, if there's a game I'm missing, it's Metroid Prime Pinball, or a spiritual successor.

All sounds good to me, just hope one day they give us an "update all" button somewhere to trigger the system checking and downloading updates for all installed games, you know, like we have on phones.

I'm all for inverting both axis, and love that we can also finally fix games that didn't have the option themselves (looking at you, Rime)

Any time you mention performance issues on new games I just really wish or hope they'll patch it for Switch 2, or does it already perform better there?

I enjoyed them fine on Wii, but I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I never really cared to play them again, Odyssey and now DK are more fun

@Milk_ A Final Unity remains my favorite Star Trek game, and while it would be great to get a remaster, they'd basically have to , and I recently was able to get it installed and running under Windows 11 by following the instructions in one of the comments here, just need to use DOSBox, of course:

Or someone made an installer package:

Would be great if they released a Switch 2 patch for this, though I think changing from free movement was smart for a console and when playing with a controller. I also hear they basically eliminated any of the short combat sequences, which sounds good to me too, since they barely fit in the first place.

@HolyGeez03 There is a Switch 1 version, there are two listings on the eshop, this is just a review of the Switch 2 version, which I assume runs better and at a higher res/quality.

Guess your character has grown taller since the first game

Only tempted if they offer a cheaper Switch 2 upgrade path as I already beat and enjoyed the game on Switch 1...

So Yoshi's Story 2?

Kinda wish there was a Switch 2 release, or they were planning to have two versions so it'll properly run better on the newer console...which it might, I'll hold out hope!

It being a game-key card just means there's zero reason to buy it physically...go digital at that point

I beat it on Switch, but will happily revisit the new world with improved performance. I already appreciated the graphics the first time around, but smoother will be better still!

I just hope maybe other companies can figure out waking the Switch 2, maybe 8bitdo can release another firmware update to support that on their controllers...or maybe I'm dreaming

The visuals remind me of something else from Panic, the Play.date

I've enjoyed every other Shantae game before this, though the GBC original is still the hardest. Looking forward to this one, but I can't seem to find the eshop page for the digital edition yet?

They're fun, but it's almost impossible to use the new grinding mechanics with motion-controls in MKW, I always end up having to use the stick

Looks like it'd be perfect for the Play.Date...but also Switch

But can it wake the system from sleep? Also, that button layout across the bottom is awful...

I guess this also might explain why SO many Switch games were being sold off on Woot, Amazon had plenty of copies still, but couldn't sell them on their main storefront.

So why is the bird transformation that lets you FLY themed after the most-famous flightless bird, the ostrich??

I have this cart for Switch...would be great if they pushed a Switch 2 update/upgrade for it!

Oh, nice, I've been waiting to pick this up, and seeing that they'll be upgrading it for Switch 2 only encourages me to want to buy it. Hopefully other companies follow suit and provide performance updates for their games on Switch 2 where necessary (like Tunic for example)

Why aren't there symmetrical Z buttons, so they can serve as L1 and R1?!

My old, Logitech 720p C525 works when plugged into a USB-A on the dock...is there even any noticeable improvement in quality when using a 1080p camera?

First off, Mario Kart World...secondly, the ONLY 3rd party game only for Switch 2 that I've been interested in so far is Fast Fusion, and I bought that one

Hopefully they know all the serial numbers for the stolen consoles and Nintendo can ban them once they get resold...

Wonder what other first party games will get some sorta Switch 2 updates...would love to see it for Mario Party Superstars too

over 3" thick though...

I ordered a matte glass screen protector before the Switch 2 even came out, and immediately put it on before even powering it up for the first time...

Lack of HD Rumble support on 3rd party controllers is still a real shame, and also inability to turn on the Switch 2 remotely (though maybe that'll come later, since at least SOME 3rd party Switch 1 controllers can wake it)

Pretty much since 3DS it was never advisable to go online or update a system you used a flash cart with or otherwise modified to pirate games...

It's fun after a GP or online races and you want a break...or just to find new challenges and race around tributes to old courses before finding the next impossible P-switch to attempt over and over.

I'm just playing at 150cc, which clears all slower speeds if you beat that level.

I dug up an old Logitech webcam and plugged it into one of the USB-A ports on the side of my dock and poof, it works just as well. Anyone interested in trying video Game Chat should try whatever random webcams they might have laying about first, at least until there's a higher-res piranha camera

Wish they'd redeem themselves by updating this for Switch 2...

Delivery people do this to us sometimes, but that's to avoid walking up the steps of our tall stoop...this guy just didn't want to walk a few steps down a flat path?!

Eh, I basically only play on 150cc and have for the past few Mario Karts...when I tried 200cc I felt like it broke a lot of the courses which were designed around the other classes.

Does this fix the bug where the right joy-con can't pair as a horizontal controller?

You had me at pinballvania...also comparing it to Yoku's, which I loved.
