@McGuildicuff well said man

@TyGuy I'd instantly buy this game if I could do multiplayer stuff with randoms. I have no reason to own this otherwise

I wonder if this will make the visuals worse. If the visuals stay the same or maybe get a little better now they've had time with a dev kit, and the 60 is smooth I think I'll buy this.

Hoping the original VS gets a Switch 2 edition as well.

I had a feeling the fps wouldn't be as great in the bigger areas compared to the small corridors of the demo. If the whole game played like the demo I'd get it on Switch 2. Whelp, not dealing with an uneven 30 to 40 fps. Gonna get this on the PS5 Pro. Haven't bought a Switch game in months now

That movie Daisy is horrific

@Bolt_Strike I don't think Pokemon got pushed. I think it was always the plan to have it in the 3rd year of Switch 2. They want a big user base first. They did it with Switch 1. But I agree they need some big games. Can't believe how bored I am on it and it's not even a year old yet. The software lineup last year was all a huge miss for me. Didn't like any of it it, though I did appreciate the hard work put into DK. The rest was a mess or just too little.

@BIG3 as long as they don't use that awful AI upscaling they used in XBX. To be clear it's not generative at all, it's like a trained ai upscaler.

@Bolt_Strike I don't think he said no Luigis Mansion 4 in the podcast. He doesn't really have an idea of games past summer.

I'd take no stock in this if it wasn't for Nate the Hate, I think the only things he's gotten wrong in the last few years was that Planet Robobot was rereleasing in 2025

Is this yet again another 1080p, 30 frames per second game? Skimmed thru the article but didn't see any actual mention of specs.

Concerned about the monetization in this and the seeming requirement to subscribe to Home to bypass it.

@JGC1200 I'm pretty sure I tried that demo immediately

@JGC1200 same. Clicked on the article to see if a Switch 2 version demo was going up. Romancing Saga 2 did this too with there being no Switch 2 demo

Please pass the torch, I don't know who is responsible for her awful take on Zelda, if it was direction at the recording or whatever but her fake English accent is horrible (and I'm from the USA so I can imagine how bad it is to you British folks). She also sounds like shes trying to sound like an old woman at times. Sometimes she sounds like shes upset when I don't think she is, like when she's inspecting the catacombs. Just awful.

Why tho? It's so shallow lol

I dont care if it takes another year to come out, please get this running at at least 40 fps and vrr in handheld. Glad they're taking their time with this and it wasnt rushed out like Persona 3 Reload

Im a huge Voyager fan, but when I played the demo it looked awful on Switch 2, especially in handheld mode. Did it get better? I only see mention of jutters in the review. Also see from the thread comments the font sizing was never addressed. Also back to the jutters...can we retire the phrasing in reviews that "for such and such game jutters don't effect the gameplay" when heavy stutters in general can make a game hard to look at or track with your eyes, no matter what the genre is. Just kind of hate those statements in reviews. Yeah I get it, it doesn't require precise inputs

@The_Nintendo_Expat two things. 1) The gameplay might feel soooo good that I forget about the art style being kind of mid. Or, 2) seeing it uncompressed and not on YouTube or the eshop, it might be better looking in handheld mode. The art style is so simple that maybe it just plain looks really sharp in handheld.

Wish there was a demo for this. Super interested but not sure the art style is my thing

The version of Super Mario Bros 3 on Gameboy Advance that includes all the e-reader levels (Nintendo Classics app and the WiiU eshop had it) is easily the best 2d Mario game in my opinion. Wish it was on here.

@JohnnyMind where are the levels?! Those are minor additions dude. You obviously know people who sound like me are disappointed in the lack of new levels.they keep making it sound like even the bosses are going to be found in old levels by searching clues. Those are all very minor solo additions.

Glad there's more story coming because it absolutely crapped the bed in the second half. Needs more context, more explanation. After a wonderful first half the second half disappointed in both story and setting and gameplay. If there's more, and it's like a 3rd act, then the second half of the game could work better for me in retrospect.

Yeah this guy is pretty awful. I mean maybe they're fun for like 4 year olds? Super generic design too.

@JohnnyMind dude it is almost exclusively multiplayer additions with some little bits of solo additions - an absolute bare minimum of solo stuff thrown in. It was cheap to make it that way. If there was a decent amount of single player they'd be showing it off and you know it

This looks like a great game for very very very little kids, like 4 to 6 or something. Surprised to see so many adults excited for this lol

@G1_Laserbeak Dude. My comment you replied to earlier said the constant frame dipping outdoors made me nauseous by how consistently unstable it was. Why are you now "explaining" to me it's not that bad and not ruining gameplay even though you are now saying it's "constantly dipping" and around "30-40" for a 60 fps targeted game? I don't understand people like you.

@G1_Laserbeak it's constantly dipping outdoors in Re8. You must not be sensitive to it.

@cammers1995 nice to know I'm not crazy. I started 8 right after 9 and it gave me a headache. The fps outdoors is unacceptable. No vrr in handheld either.

Re8 needs work more than 9 (most the issues in 9 I had ended up just being in some earlier areas). Outdoors in 8 makes me want to vomit by how incredibly unstable fps is in handheld. Im positive they're not using vrr at all either.

The fps fluctuations made this a total pass for me based on the demo. Just awful at that castle town. Visuals were also way softer than I expected. Big bummer for me.

@Dm9982 reread the article, this is clearly Metroidvania not NES/SNES era. The spokesperson literally said "exploration action" aka search action aka metroidvania. He also said said it was a crafted map one can freely explore.

@Res462 I don't think they're ready for a Mewgenics console date. I don't think we get that on console until late this year. But man that'd be great to be dated. Ed said that after PC, Switch takes priority first.

Not what I'd prefer to happen, but hey, the last Indie Direct had Ball X Pit in it, which was easily my second favorite game of the year, so who knows? But we have like zero plan for the year after April, with the exception of a few 3rd party releases. They need a general Direct soon.

@ian_beale he sold his share of Meatboy to get full ownership of Mewgenics when Team Meat no longer wanted to pursue any new IP. Looks like it worked out well for me. He didn't work on Super Meatboy Forever either

@michellelynn0976 I'm further in the game now. Still doing the frame rate stutters and fps dips, but then in some sections (even with Leon) it's rock solid 60. Then random rooms are like 30 fps even when enemies are cleared. I've barely played docked, maybe that's the difference? Or maybe people forget the bad parts because of the sections that are super solid? Nothing has been as bad as when I was holding the chainsaw with the smoke effect, in the second short Leon section, where I swear it was like sub 30 fps. Uneven performance overall because sometimes the visuals and fps are so good it feels like I'm on a Series X. Then other times it's extremely choppy and the image breaks up. Sorry for being rude to you earlier, I've just gotten tired of some people and reviewers just pretending like there are no issues in these Switch 2 ports. Just want people who read these comments secondhand getting the right impression before they buy . Still glad I got it on Switch 2 tho. Been fun to lay on my couch and play.

I feel like reviews on this site as of late have been afraid to really highlight when performance is disappointing. It gets a brief mention, but man the visuals in this are more disappointing than "some soft textures and softening vistas at a distance" in 60 fps. The whole image is really soft in 60 fps. Also why are you not mentioning handheld performance. Maybe I'd trust these reviews more in cases where I didn't know better if that Amazon affiliate link wasn't immediately below the review.

@michellelynn0976 it 100 percent dips and runs in the 40s in Leon's sections was running 30 fps when using the chainsaw and stutters and drops in Grace's sections (like in the area with the first singing zombie. I wonder if my Switch 2 is faulty? Like it absolutely is running below 60.

@michellelynn0976 it absolutely dips lower than that. Played docked a little last night and it was 40 fps docked in Leon's first section.And Im certain it was dropping to 30 in handheld mode with Leon's next section, in the hospital. There's a period of time you're holding a chainsaw, and even after you've killed the zombies, it seems like the smoke from it causes the fps to drop lower than 40. It was actually pretty rough in handheld. Please don't lie, that's silly to do that and spreads misinformation

@michellelynn0976 no you literally said "you heard" the day 1 patch was for a stable 60 fps. That's just straight misinformation. Why even say it?

@Tempestryke is always forget I have that lol. Think I've only played the Wiley Wars off of it.

@Dee123 yeah...but for all the games? Green Jelly was a 90s band so I can understand why that may not be available. Super curious about this. A lot of these game aren't really that great lol, like I'd be legit surprised if Konami actually developed these games in house back in the day...actually maybe just the arcade versions were theirs.

@michellelynn0976 lol - you did not hear that anywhere - you're just hoping. Can confirm the initial Leon section is nowhere near 60 fps docked. Haven't tried it in handheld yet. I'd guess docked is 40 fps for Leon shooting zombies in the street in the rain. Maybe it'll be better when it's not raining. Kind of disappointed. Grace's section looked unbelievably good tho, like I was on my Series X or something in some instances, minus the weird hair.

Always been intrigued by this game since I was a kid....but aways heard it wasn't great. Actually pretty curious what ppl have to say about the game when it comes out.

Does all new music mean there is zero original music here? Or new stuff in addition? Can't have Maximum Carnage without the Green Jelly intro, wtf.

You have ads on this page, on mobile, auto playing sound.

@mlt it has motion aiming but no mouse

@anoyonmus thanks - I will when I'm out of work. Just been sneaking reading reviews on my phone.

@Grimley141 people aren't complaining, they're questioning why 2 different physical versions are needed and asking if there are any real differences between the versions and if said differences could have been on the Switch 1 physical. The only one complaining is you. Chill. People are just trying to understand the decision.
