Good news, this patent is gross, by my limited understanding of this kind of thing.

@benmalsky198 you don't have to believe me, just look it up. It was widely reported (it was the lowest in 2 years not 7 tho, was just under a million players on average) And you could tell when you logged in because it shows the actual live numbers for the modes. Also I guess if you love every single IP ever then you'll never have an issue when an entire season is devoted to it

@benmalsky198 @benmalsky198 they are overbearing when they dominate a season or a mini season. Look what happened with that Star Wars mini season. I think it had all time lowest player count in 7 years (edit: it was in 2 years). I hardly played the Marvel season last year because I hated that meta and how it was informed by super hero powers. So I'm not talking about IP crossover in general being overbearing in the game, just when they make it dominate a season.

@JayJ of all the games that are live service Fortnite is the most friendly. You literally never have to spend a dollar in this game and have access to everything. You could spend like 9 USD every few months and get a battle pass full of stuff. This isn't Warzone where youre buying weapon blueprints with real world money for load outs only good for the current meta, or gacha like Zenless Zone Zero where you spend 100s to roll for characters that play well in the season meta. This game is harmless in the micro transactions department. But I will say I've played this game for like 6 years and am tired of all the overbearing season collabs. Especially since it's so Disney dominated (Simpsons, Marvel, Star Wars etc).

@HugoGED Capcom gotten really bad. I actually think they have one kind of micro transaction they do is more disgusting than like an EA or UBIsoft, those character edit vouchers you have buy to change your character in MH games.

@Bats1234 AC is important tho, tons of non gaming ppl got a Switch for AC. You can't let that crowd sit forever. I mean I guess this upgrade is something. But it'll be 6 years soon.
Crazy

Crazy they didn't have this ready as a Switch 2 edition this year and don't have a new game ready for next year. Been almost six years when this upgrade releases.

@Moonvalley2006 Limited Run sucks but they actually deserve money for figuring out how to license and release this for the first time since the NES

@dark_beer_alchemist the back buttons are decent on it, but having the dpad on it be almost as bad as the switch 1 pro controller was a deal breaker for me and I returned mine after a few days of use. Also while the sticks feel awesome and fluid, the initial tilt from center movement of the sticks takes a slightly longer travel distance to read the input which makes them dog crap for any kind of shooting game like Cyberpunk or Fortnite. But like I said if the dpad was good I would kept it. Total bummer.

Game keycards in a collectors set like this is borderline dystopian.

@BenAV I'm ok with buying this game a 3rd time (Switch Rebirth +, then the Repentance physical, then this new edition ion) but I just want save data to carry over. Im sure the physical edition I have cannot be upgraded (even if they offered it), cuz when you hit the plus button on the icon and ask it to take you to the eShop, it says the version I have doesn't exist (do it to being a unique all in one physical edition of Repentance).

Monster Hunter Rise, with DLC, is always on sale for basically pennies

This upgrade is already available and had a physical release of the full package a couple years back (though I think the online stuff is new), I got the physical Switch 1 version limited release (directly from Nicalis it wasn't in stores). I wonder if saves carry over? I doubt the Switch 1 physical of Repentance + will get an upgrade as that version doesn't even show up on the eshop if you search for it (you have to buy rebirth then the dlc to get it digitally). I hope saves transfer - I do not want to start over lol.

@LazyDaisy definetly not in the near future. Remember if someone who didn't have a Switch in 2020 wants to play Mario 64 or Sunshine they have to pay for expansion Online subscription. That incentive is more important to them than re releasing these, since they want to grow that service. Almost exactly a year after All Stars released, they launched the N64 online app.

@KayFiOS and to top it off Zelda herself felt like a completely different character in Tears and quite boring. Found all the characters in the past to be very bland too. Curious how this sells. Seems like such a waste of effort. Could have gotten another Zelda mashup or Xenoblade or something.

@jolteon23 Calamity got a Switch 2 update?

What an absolute boring cast of characters.

@NorrinRadd omg just stop commenting already

@MJF I'd play that!

@MJF I'm 100 percent sure KT is developing Fortunes Weave. It looks the same approach or engine as 3 Houses

@LightSpirit that mega starmie battle was one of the highlights of game for me. The way the legs animated as it ran totally unnerved me. I just kept laughing at it running across the little arena.

Too bad they didn't put more budget into making the city feel alive, vibrant and varied. It's bland and boring and yet....this game is extremely good once you get past the intro and the initial set of wild zones. I love it and this is coming from a guy who skipped S&V, so I'm not a hardcore Pokemans. I love the new battle system and got addicted to the gameplay loop.

@Jedrus_Lilac yep. There's a login/sign up screen you cannot skip. It says you need a Ubisoft account to play. Just insane.

This series has been a success DESPITE Tanabe, sucks it's him providing insight and some ghost writer.

ZA is like 100x better than those other crappy Switch Pokemon games. Yeah being stuck in a bland city is a bummer but the gameplay and gameplay loop is actually really good and the character models look way better than Scarlett

Why in the world would I have to create a Ubisoft account to try out a game I might be interested in buying? What's wrong with them? Also why is this not mentioned in the article?

I think this is the first Switch 2 game I've been impressed by the visuals in it. Looks like more than just a "Switch Pro" type game

All the rewards and gameplay options and systems and customizable stuff just make Mario Kart World look like old and ancient in comparison. This feels like a modern game. However the fact there is only one city trial map and only 18 regular racing tracks makes me worried this will get pretty repetitious. But think this Direct might have sold me.

That looks like the least fun way to use mouse mode, hunched over reaching out to your coffee table.

Wonder if this will have a resolution bump like Galaxy 1+2, they didn't really advertise that game having that. Probably not tho

Need a substantial story mode and a LOT of regular racing tracks outside of City Trial for me to be interested. The regular racing looks really fun if there's a lot of it. City Trial just looks boring to me me especially if the mini game you get at the end is hitting targets.

@Suketoudara it's still a full priced, 30fps and soft looking 1080 (1080 can look crisper than that) for not that demanding graphically of a game. And I'll believe the fps patch when I see it, this was a response in an interview not like a press statement/promise. I have no clue why they'd put up a demo so close to release with bad performance if they were fixing it so soon. My point was of course porting is smooth sailing when their target is so low

Easy to port when you keep your standard for porting low. An uneven 30 fps, with a rather soft looking 1080 image fidelity. Hard pass. Try harder next time, this isnt 2014.

@SpaceboyScreams rework the manga continuation that Toriyama oversaw, tweak things so it takes place after Super Hero, rework the bad storytelling tropes of Toyataro (spelling) and end it with a fight with Black Frieza. Give it good animation and there ya go

@PinballBuzzbro FighterZ is legit good. But I agree with you on every else just being mid or a rehash.

Why would anyone in this day and age be impressed by a video of cutscene comparisons? Show me real gameplay.

@the_beaver nothing is even close. This is like a top ten game of the 2020s so far for me. Cannot wait for Second Chapter.

Sucks. I just finished it this Sunday. I waited two weeks for a patch then couldn't stand it anymore and forced my eyeballs thru that awful camera hitching.

@JJtheTexan I made the mistake of recently buying Nier. Game runs fine for me until I get to that early desert area then it constantly crashes.

@Jarodlaraus the other consoles are not GKC. Yes there are some games that are like that but most aren't. Some article online calculated this numbers for ps4/5 and it was like 80 percent of retail releases were full on disc. And if you're confusing having to load your disc on the hard drive versus what a GKC you're just a silly person

@BrewsterTea Game freak would never cut in their revenue by hiring Monolift to help out. Keep the budget and effort low and gain max revenue.

Starting to think I should cancel my preorder, NL tends to review games a point or two higher, so them giving this a 7 is worrying to me

@ShieldHero I'm about 55 hours in and just started chapter 4 of the game and can say there isn't a lot of opportunities in this game to want to utilize 1st person mode compared to the other Trails games, in manner to which you speak lol. Would have loved that performance mode tho. The camera stuttering gives me a headache.

Not sure why you'd want first person on the Switch 2 version, characters look nice but the environments ain't so hot. Why would you want to zoom in on them more?

@topsekret wow. You really had a lot to say there.

@ThisGuy215 true - I agree with that.

@topsekret you're overreacting. While I bet if this was only a 60 gb game, they still would have used a keycard, this is a big game and I'm glad they didn't crunch it down. The loss of 40ish gb probably would have had a huge negative consequence. Just so you know I have not yet supported any keycards and have only bought what was available physically. If a game is a key card in the future I'll wait for a sale and get it digitally. I'm just saying that this one specific case should have been there reason keycards for invented, meaning only for games that couldn't fit on the 64 gb ones.

@topsekret this is one of the rare instances where a keycard is ok. It's almost 100 gb, meaning there is literally no option for them to put this on a card. And it's only 40 bucks.

30 fps? Pass!!! Have higher standards than this.

@SBandy1 to clarify I don't think this is AI based at all. Was just referencing that generic "Pixar but not Pixar-lookong style." That aesthetic has been completely dominated by AI slop so when I see this knockoff art direction my brain just associates it with it now. Companies gotta come up with a new spin. When that gets scrapped all to hell, do something new again.
