Mega Man on NES had spikes that insta-killed you too...why are they Hollow Knight spikes now?

I wish this would mean any updates for the stand alone Episode One Racer on Switch...it would be great if there was any way to adjust volume of sound effects vs. music :-

Wheels are important, I hope I can find ones similar to the Orzly ones I have for the current joy-cons

If it has a 1080p screen AND runs Switch 1 games in their docked resolution up to 1080p, that would be awesome. Also if it could output them at 4k, or play them smoother in some cases with it's extra power that'd be fun. Still very good news since I have built up quite the library on Switch and haven't finished nearly all of it!

I miss the fully-colored joycons, but maybe that'll be an option. Also still hope for an OLED option...

I'm sad that there are basically no ways to earn Platinum Coins anymore...JUST from the mobile games a little, but such a missed opportunity to not build in ways to earn rewards through the Switch or otherwise. I'd love to get these post-its, but my balance has just been shrinking with no way to earn them back at this point (other than gold coins of course)

Still wish they'd ever release older themes in the shop for any Maximus Cups we might have missed along the way...

I don't understand the shape of this, why does it bulge out so much for the joy-cons, and then swoop in where the screen would be...the joy-cons aren't going to stick up out of the top above the screen are they?

Wish it was Tengen Tetris for NES though with coop mode...

They should just stick the entire Switch Smash Bros soundtrack on here, that'd help cover A LOT of properties, and add fun versions of many tracks too

It's cuter than I was expecting since it appears to actually be stop-motion, but otherwise, wasted potential. Still loving this game though as I slowly play through it

Built in support for TATE mode would be amazing, could finally stop using the 3D printed grip that holds my joycons on each side of the vertical screen (though that works great for pinball games, and I'd imagine also DS games)

I was more interested until I read "procedurally-generated"

Know what this makes me want, a 1994 EA/Bullfrog Theme Park remaster/remake...loved that as a kid on our DOS PC

Hope it can output at 4k, even for older games...maybe even rendering at 4k with patches...

Why not just use the version without the real chants from v1.2??

As I said before, I hope they add as many tracks from Smash Bros as possible, even if that confuses what game things are from a little. Also would love to get Luigi's Mansion 2 and Zelda Link Between Worlds music too.

They should add everything from Smash Bros they possibly can, so many good tracks across all of Nintendo's history plus remixes and re-recordings.

@ralphdibny He's playing the version that was included in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack:

Oh, fun, the first version of Tetris I ever played was the Spectrum HoloByte game, which came on both 5.25" and 3.5" floppy. That said, I still wish among ALL these games they had managed to include the Tengen NES Tetris release with coop mode.

Prolly just because the demo is now running at a higher frame rate than N64 could manage. Though there used to be a cheat code to make you run faster too.

Maybe I'll finally play more than the first level this time...

This is a fantastic DKC game, but after playing on Wii and 3DS, I might be set

Wait, N64 games support widescreen?! Or is this an emulation change, because if so, they should allow the option for all N64 games if you want to toggle proper widescreen rendering (if possible)

They should all be using FPGA systems, like from Analogue, but since it's Nintendo, they have their own in-house emulators they could be using too

Are they also going to release this digitally on Switch??

Wow, that looks beautiful, can't wait to wishlist it if they ever put up an eshop listing...

@GameOtaku Very sad no Tengen Tetris with coop mode, but also sad they couldn't have included Tetris DS, which is my other favorite version

Still sad it doesn't have a round screen like the last-gen Echo Spot, which is on Woot today for $30, and quite a bit more functional though without fun Nintendo alarms unless you set a specific sound/music track yourself of course

Didn't get in, but since it required Switch Online+Expansion subscription, I assume it's to play test, or stress test a new online, multiplayer game, maybe Balloon Fight 99 or something unexpected like that

Sweet, sweet stability

Does he say how long this took him, like most people I skipped to the end to watch the final result

Perhaps it's because I'm playing in handheld always (on my subway commutes) but it's been barely noticeable and certainly hasn't affected gameplay in the least.

Of course, had the game been locked at 30fps, either people wouldn't notice any slowdown, or they'd complain it never goes above 30fps...which used to be just fine for most games

Oh nice, I watched the trailer and hoped they'd announce this for Switch!

And that is why I've owned almost every Nintendo console they've ever released, because they continue to innovate and do their own thing, which is much more fun imo

Most likely dropping at noon if it's really going to be available today...well, maybe not...guess we just have to keep checking until the DLC shows up

I've been looking forward to this game for a while, I really hope that they can iron out some or all of the performance issues with patches later on...unfortunately for us, you won't update this review if that is the case though. It's so hard to find updated reviews that reflect the often times improved states of games after a big update... are developers allowed to set the clock speed of the Switch while it's playing their games? It seems like this happens a lot of the time where the development kits are running at a higher clock speed than our retail Switches, so things that worked fine when they tested end up being jankey once released and require patches to fix.

Wouldn't it be so nice if you just signed into your Nintendo Account and were offered the option to re-download ALL your Switch purchases to the new system and make that your new primary system? Also will it use the same or similar cart system for physical games (esp if they want to let you play old ones)

Not just feel like an NES game, the 8-bit version of the game is being printed on NES carts and will run on NES hardware!

Should be Tengen Tetris with coop mode...

Will there be more colors in the final release, or are we just racing through a b/w world?

Looking forward to this, been waiting for the eshop listing to exist so I could wishlist it...but like Plucky Squire, I'll have to keep checking

Looks great, I wonder how the controls work on Switch? Do you not directly manipulate the mouse cursor and only control Floppy?

And yet, it's STILL not on the eshop so we can't wishlist or preorder yet

So blurry...but I also think Little Kitty, Big City scratched this itch and ran great on Switch.

SOLD! My daughter has enjoyed the Sonic Superstars and Princess Peach Showtime acrylic stands, so why not add another to our collection

Woulda been the perfect game to play this summer, but looking forward to this after enjoying the Endless Seven Day Journey

Still wish I could wishlist this on the eshop...

Oh, so they FINALLY created the thing that 3rd parties have been selling for years...does this imply that the joy-con design won't change, or at least the rails/charging design won't change on the Switch 2 and this accessory will carry over? Otherwise, why put this out so late in the cycle??
