Not sure why they wouldn't have used Mike West, who has voiced Fox in every single game since Star Fox 64 including the 3DS remake, Zero, and every Smash Bros...he's still alive unlike the original voice of Peppy/Andros unfortunately.

Well, this looks absurd and great...will have to keep an eye out for it since there's no listing to wishlist yet

The ONLY purpose code-in-box and game-key-code physical releases serve is to allow them to sit on shelves at retail stores to be bought as gifts because it feels better than just giving them an eshop card to buy the game digitally. I can't really imagine any collectors care enough to have empty boxes otherwise.

Still hope they do another one where we can earn past themes we might have missed...

Please post about any updates, even if not to change the review, but just so we know it's a good time to try the game again

Aw, sweet, a new Moomin game!

So glad they offer a free upgrade pack, gonna upgrade my copy of Sayonara Wild Hearts right now

Always wished they'd add a Switch 2 update since everyone complained the graphics were prettier on PC, but I'm still gonna pick this up while I have the chance since the Switch port sounds almost better in how they streamlined it and removed some of the seemingly-annoying combat sequences.

Aren't the large goombas really a Giant Land (World 4) from Mario 3 reference?

So I would have, but now our daughter's 2nd grade class somehow convinced their teacher to take them as a class trip, so I may end up waiting to stream it.

In 6-player mode, does the X-Men Arcade Game expand to be widescreen, representing the two screens that were reflected up onto a mirror on the original 6-player cabinets?

I would totally play a top-down remake of Ocarina of Time in the style of Link's Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom. Also any new Star Fox that has a classic control scheme instead of the awkward WiiU setup that kinda ruined what might have been an okay game if I could have ever played it properly.

That's frustrating, especially since I prefer to buy single player games physically, especially 1st party Nintendo single player games :-

Sad, but also makes no sense, does it cost something to keep a game there and just not update it?? Plenty of developers never update their apps, and Horizon Chase Turbo actually received a lot of updates and DLC over the years, but nothing lately and runs great on Switch 2, esp in Boost Mode!

Plucky Squire, looks WAY better in boost mode, the text is crisper, and it's even possible to read it when outside the book now. Performance seems smoother as well. Glad I put it aside for a bit and can now enjoy it boosted!

THANK YOU, Nintendo, this is exactly the feature I was hoping Switch 2 would have, since not every game or developer is going to get updated to support 1080p in handheld, even if the game already supports it in "docked" mode, so now at least we can trick the game into running that way in handheld, as long as you don't care about battery life or using the touchscreen.

Oh, nice, I held off getting this for Switch because of all the technical issues and foggy graphics, but will keep an eye out for this update so I can finally play it on Switch 2

It's great that Nintendo keeps updating Mario Run, since it's one of the best, simplest mobile games, and better than a lot of other companies that abandon, or even pull games from the shops.

Answering for my wife's DSi, which she just found in a drawer and started playing Tetris DS on with no issue. I'm going to have to find a charging cable for it at this rate though

@batzybat Here's the link for the US eshop:
https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/arcade-archives-2-rave-racer-switch-2/

At least they give you all the carts and it's not just random which songs you get or something...and very cute, but who is this for?

The gold NES cart was one of my only new NES games, I got it for my birthday once we had an NES, which I don't think was a full 40 years ago, but I kept it in it's box for ages, while most games were from Funcoland or garage sales and maybe had plastic sleeves if lucky. I was addicted, and spent months discussing tactics and layouts of dungeons with my friends at recess. I remember having to call a friend when I was in lvl7 and couldn't find the map or hadn't realized you have to go up into the upper right nose to proceed.

@Yasume I've come from the future to see if you've eaten your words after the huge success of the Switch 1 and now Switch 2...

It's nuts to me that the initial lineup is missing Mario Tennis, which was a pack-in when the system launched in the US...looking forward to that coming out finally for NSO.

Every game released at this point should at least be Switch 2 native even if also for Switch 1...that said, this is cheaper than buying the re-released Game Boy Color cartridge from ModRetro. So of all these releases, is one viewed as the definitive/best to play?

So I've read through these comments a few times, am I missing something? Why this hate toward Jonathan Blow, can someone please explain?

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:
https://www.myabandonware.com/game/star-trek-the-next-generation-a-final-unity-3qm
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
