It's between nice and meh, I played normal MP4 then transitioned to Switch 2 edition... Both on the Switch 2 mind you. Could almost not tell the difference. I'm sure loading times are better. So, NS2 is a nice experience but NS1 OLED is way better in portable mode. Not so heavy or cumbersome, better image quality. Though 90% I play on TV and NS2 is definitely better for that. But don't take my word for it, I still prefer the Wii U to both of them.

Why not also include the Switch 1 game on a Switch 2? Or does it run the exact same? Personally I'd expect the load times to be better, and maybe some other improvements.

I didn't ever see this. What if you're playing the Switch 1 edition on the Switch 2. Are the loading times better? Is the only difference your playing in 1080p 60 fps instead of 1080p 120 fps?

One jingle, one jingle!

The disparity in file size is probably less about map size and more about optimization that programmers used to have to perform. With digital media and cloud saves no one seems to care that save files are larger than games should be.

@Spider-Kev if it's the US tariffs why are the prices also high in Japan and Europe?

Yeah we love Kirby but with the current prices there is no fricken way. I'd probably consider at €20. I mean I have around 50 amiibos. But when amiibos are roughly the price of a game I think that's ridiculous.

I'm waiting for them to bring in some characters from Jupiter like the amazing world ends with you!

I feel like age of calamity delivered more story, the same story Breath of the Wild left me longing for. Can't wait for this to expand TotK great story and interesting characters.

@kal_el_07241 It's not just that digimon goes hard. Some of these animations are comparable to Pokemon Stadium. Which was great back in 1999.

@contractcooker I got it too and look forward to playing it. But... Where I am I was able to pre-order it for €35, SW1. If it was more than 45 I think I would have skipped it personally. I'm sure it's a good game, but I can easily understand why people are hating. I mean just look at Digimon's cutscenes verses Pokemon.

@liljmoore I'll explain the hatred, it's pretty simple. This game cost $70 and the graphics are akin to upscaled Wii Graphics and there's no VA. If this was $50 or less it might make sense. If this was done by a team of 10-20 it might make sense. But this is one of the largest franchises in the world and cost the same as games with modern graphics, and VA. Even if it's a good game, it's not a great game and the price doesn't seem to represent the perceived effort or time put into it.

I have my fair share of amiibo, about 50, but I think I'm done. I literally just bought Metroid 4 Sw1 for €45 and a received a €10 coupon for my next purchase and a Samus keychain. The bike amiibo is more expensive than the game and keychain. Why did amiibos go from 13, to 15 to 25 and not $50! I mean I know inflation has been bad the past 12 years but this is out of hand.

Pikmin 4 was better than it had any right to be. Though I missed some of the excellent two player modes from Pikmin 3! Excited to watch this on YouTube.

It seems silly that the Switch 1, 1080p, game can't just run at 60fps on a Switch 2. Especially when the presumably 4k Switch 2 version does.

Super Metroid may have one of the best title screen and title screen music of any videogame. Hard to compare it to the others, even though they are all exceptional in their own right. Though Xenoblade Chronicles 1, Zelda SNES and 64, Chrono Trigger, FF7 all go above and beyond.

@dartmonkey My son spent a month doing chores to save up for the DLC, because forgotten world is his favorite game. After completing it today he said "Is that it?" Then hours later at dinner when we were talking about something else he said "Kirby had so many levels and took so long to play. Why was the new Kirby so short." Of course I tried to encourage him saying we had a lot of fun while we played it. But his first response to paying the game kind of reiterates what I said before we got it, it's not enough content for $20. Gosh even a child recognized it was short without any prompting.

There could have been new copy abilities, or at least new challenges for the new spring and gear. Beating the boss could have unlocked a post game like the forgotten world had. Now... We only have 90% of the Staries, but at this point it doesn't seem like there is going to be enough content for the price of admission. As far as the graphics and fps boost... That should have been free and honestly with my 6 year old TV's internal resolution boost for 1080p to 4k it's hard to tell the graphics are any better even switching between my Switch screenshots and Switch 2 ones. The only noticeable improvement for me seems to be with enemies in the distance.

Anyways, great game but the dlc is maybe 15-20% of the content for 33% of the price and so short that it makes a child who says Kirby is his favorite game a little sad.

Probably worth the price for people who have never experienced a Galaxy game. For someone that owns both already, it's roughly $70 for a graphics pack that would be free if this was a computer game.

I'm pretty excited to try out gameshare, but if it has Switch 1 gameshare why is it a Switch 2 exclusive. Seems kinda like the Switch 1 can run the game.

@Polvasti 40 doesn't include the 7 epilogue levels... But each of the epilogue levels are reimaginings of at least 3 levels. Plus the DLC has exactly 0 abilities compared to the original games 12 or 35 depending on how you count them. That doesn't mean the DLC has 0% more gameplay, only 0% new gameplay when considering abilities. Upgraded performance hardly counts. Nearly every switch game has updated performance when running on the Switch 2. Thankfully Nintendo hasn't paywalled load times. It's like buying a new graphics card and playing a game you already own. The developers don't charge you a fee to go from 1080p to 4k in the menu when you buy a new graphics card. At least thankfully for no games I own.

I'm not saying that if people buy this they shouldn't enjoy it. I think, like most DLCs, it's pretty much only for people that have played the heck out of a game because they love it and are happy to have even a little more content. Or people that have enough money where $20 is meaningless for a small percentage of extra gameplay. For those people I'm sure this will be a fun little strole in one of the best Kirby games.

Unfortunately like most DLC you get 5% extra gameplay for 33% of the price of a full game.

City building is what I'm most excited for in this game! The first one was good, at first I want sure of the second but loved it. Now I'm coming in excited about 0.

I also imagine if the characters weren't robots or if Miis we're involved some people might unfortunately find the game to be ableist.

It either needs to be free to play, or they need to add all of those other options mentioned. I imagine for most people Rocket league is similar enough and more compelling.

@Suketoudara I completely agree.

If it's 17 minutes long how are there no spoilers? I feel like even the Paulina information is a spoiler because it wasn't in the reveal trailer. I've been trying to avoid any spoilers, and unfortunately that bit was spoiled. I feel like if you're not wanting it spoiled you probably won't want to watch 17 minutes of gameplay. If you are wanting to watch more than just the trailers, then just enjoy it and don't worry about spoilers.

Donkey Kong is starting to get his hands dirty!

Reminds me of animal crossing on GameCube. It was fun finding old NES games and being able to load them from your house.

I just can't get over the price. $40! Do they come with the game?

Now make it so Xenoblade X doesn't constantly disconnect from the internet.

I hope it fixes my issue with WiFi that only happens with Xenoblade X. I can play Mario Kart online just fine, but Xenoblade disconnects me after about 3 -10 minutes.

Meh at best. I wish there was a lot more there. Only single player, ? Block panels seem to do nothing when all in an area are collected, no tracking of peach coins or P Switches by area. All of these seem to only give stickers though it also seems like they initially planned more. Why do ? Panels not unlock drivers or something when you finish an area? Why can't you purchase anything with peach coins? Seems like it was half baked, reduced the content and left the price.

@Greatluigi I never got to try GameCube LAN and I'm from one of us largest cities in the States. But most people had PS2s.

This is also the best way to unlock 2 player free roam. With wifi you can only use 2 joy cons. With LAN you can use 4, search for others, and just enjoy 2 player free roam sans P Switches.

@Jack_Goetz Get it repaired this shouldn't happen. Unless it's your TVs issue. So maybe try it on another TV and if the same thing happens send it in for repair. I had to do this with my brand new Wii unfortunately. But there was noise on the image and I thought it was just how it was supposed to be, but then I saw another Wii and realized mine just had an issue.

I'm just frustrated that Nintendo removed the ability for older pro controllers to turn the system on with the home button. It's not like the home button does something different with the new pro controller.

I hate shuffling through my 30 something switch games to find the one I want, opening and closing one box to then open and close another. I tried to get the official one from Nintendo that held like 8 or 16 games but it was always sold out... So I'm at least a little interested.

A monolith soft Zelda RPG! I can't imagine something better!

Definitely nervous about that. I've had so many drifting joy cons.

This is not well thought out. I have a family, so we already have 2 Switches. With a Switch 2 we'll have 3. Why not just let people use the same dock for all 3. I'll need 2 docks plugged into my TV now, and more space on the TV stand. Did they ask anyone what they thought about the dock? Or did an intern design it on a weekend?

@Rooty But it's more important that Bowser Jr. is friends with no one rather than Monty having no one like him.

@Xenoblade-Fan definitely not just politics. In the EU retail price is €470 or $510. If the tarrifs and politics were the main issue I'd expect EU prices to be lower, or US prices to be higher.

Yeah and I mean the price of upgrading games with minimal added content is ridiculous. They already did this with Wii U to Switch. Now triple milking wii u games.

New amiibo in 2025?! Who are they?

This better be like $5 and it's a bad move to not include it. Wii Sports got people to show their friends and family the Wii and lead to sales. This is such a niche game that I doubt it will perform well at like $20. But definitely a neat idea.

But are the weapon and augment organization and menu better? My first two plays I found it impossible to find which weapons were better because of the menu system and I almost never dealt with augments, if I even remember their names correctly.

This last Christmas my kid got a box of twelve packs because it's all Target had left for sale.... After opening it we found there was only 6 packs. Of course Target did nothing about the issue.

Now let's bring back Midway because I need some more Rush 2049. Though Rekt was fine, and had a similar stunt mode, ultimately it didn't have the same depth as rush.

Xenoblade Chronicles Co-op? The AI is frustrating at times so it would be great to have friends come along side me.

@LavenderShroud Reviews are helpful when the reviewers aren't bias. Has IGN given anything less than a 7 of 10 for a buggy mess?Has Nintendo Life given less than an 8 of 10 for any recent Nintendo game?

For those that aren't well off enough to buy any game that looks interesting to them reviews can be helpful. And they've saved me from wasting money in the past. For instance when I find out a $60 game is just 10 hrs I know that's not a good value proposal for me personally. Or if a game I was excited about isn't what I thought it would be, like FF XIII which I almost bought an xbox for then eventually got on sale for the pc and had a hard time finishing it even though I really enjoy the series.

3 out of the 10 are just ported or updated Wii U games and still people will say Wii U has no good games or Wii U flopped because it didn't have good games.
