Nintendo has lost their minds to greed. Really have fallen out of love with them.

This needs to be good. The hype around this system has fallen off a cliff. I keep forgetting my Switch 2 is new, everything I've been playing on it except Silksong has been my old Switch 1 games. Bored.

Actually loving the increased difficulty. I never finished Hollow Knight for a lot of reasons but am obsessed with Silksong. A tip for people having trouble. There's a place you can get to in the early game that gives you a quicker slash and changes the angled downward sword slash back to an improved version of the downward sword slash from the first game. You need to buy the 500 rosarie key from the shop. Then in the area above the settlement (you'll unlock an elevator and it's right above that) - you can make your way to left to find a door that needs a key. You need to sword bounce over enemies to cross an empty space to reach it. I did this before obtaining the dash, so I got it early, and it greatly improved the fun of the game

They need to fix Nier. Pleaaaaase.

Weird conversation. For one, a long development time does not automatically mean it's a high cost product. A very small team, that is efficiently lead with no crunching and overtime pay for employees and hired freelances over the long term can mean that budget remains small (no matter what the Mario Kart World devs imply that their 7 year dev time means 80 dollars). Crunching always means higher expenses. Team Cherry also had the benefit of consent income into the company thru Hollow Knight. 20 bucks seems right tho I think they could have sold it at 25 without an issue

@Medic_alert the expectation and standard of games running at 60 fps is a big deal to me. I'm really sensitive to frame rates. everything feels more responsive, less blur and stuttering even in RPGs where you're just roaming around a map is so welcome to me. Growing up most games ran in 60 until the N64 and those low frame rates and blurry images turned me off from games for awhile tbh. And as far as image goes I'm more of a "fidelity of image" than high rez. I totally get the diminishing returns on console generation bumps, but ideally those 7.5 years on Switch felt bad sometimes and I just don't want that anymore.

@Medic_alert thats what you ideally get from a new console generation. Better image, better performance. And yes comparisons like this matter to some people. I remember being really disappointed in 2018 by how muddy looking Octopath was. 60 fps is nice in visual effect heavy games like this cuz there's smoother panning of the camera and backgrounds. Only Nintendo diedhards will make arguments like this stuff not mattering. So odd.

@Medic_alert because a lot of us over the years have been disappointed with the performance of games we've purchased? Because we just spent 450 dollars on a console that we'd expect some sort of improvement over the last gen model and are curious how a cross platform title performs?

The demo was awful. Bad frame rate, bad image fidelity, and worst of all awful awful AWFUL camera controls. Huge disappointment as I thought this looked good in preview footage.

Not enough content. I feel like a few years back we'd all be discussing how slight this is. Something changed with consumers.

I hate how whether it's a Pixar character, a sci Fi lead, a cool secret agent, a super hero etc they all have to have that same, cringey, sideways smirk. I wish they'd retire that.

@SirLink I wasn't saying they'd get their butt kicked, more like they need a kick in the butt.

Hope this is true. Nintendo needs a kick in the butt. They are always more interesting and more consumer friendly when feeling the heat.

Preordered the Switch 2 physical. Gotta support true physical.

@N00BiSH Prime 4 hasn't come out yet. What are you talking about? I think you're replying to the wrong comment or something or just joking around?

@N00BiSH it's been over 6 years. Don't tell ppl what to do or think

6 years for button remapping. Wowie. Now let me take that ugly border off.

12 levels for 20 bucks? Pass

@JohnnyMind I'm curious, you post this same comment a lot on different articles over months. It's always positive, but if you're not interested in what you are commenting on, why are you always commenting on it? Generally wondering.

Kart World is kinda bad.

@Res462 they're terrible at optimizing but this is a huggggge detail filled open world. We may already be seeing the limits of the CPU.

@Medic_alert to counter your point I'd that most Switch 1 games ran worse over time. I think that's what people are responding to here when they worry about the Switch 2 already having trouble.

@AussieMcBucket as far as I know there have been at least two different versions of Sora. Sora LTD and Project Sora. Project Sora had a full team of people and made Uprising. But Sora existed before that and after that. The Sora LTD thing was a way to have him not just be a freelance hire for Nintendo, they were entering in a contract with a LTD, which he formed after Melee. I believe it's just him and his wife, that's why he's always partnering with Bandai Namco so there are actual bodies working for him. Also I know Hal isn't developing the game, but isn't it still technically a Hal game? It's like having GoodFeel do a Yoshi game and it's still a Nintendo game. Though obvious Nintendo and Hal co-own Kirby, so it's also a Nintendo game. I'll watch it again

@AussieMcBucket Sora is his studio (just him and his wife) who works for Hal or Nintendo usually with Bandai. Even look at the game profile under comments section, it lists Hal. He said the Hal president asked him to make this

@Johnny_Arthur I'd love a new port of the og RE4 with gyro controls as well and in 60fps.

@AussieMcBucket it's a Hal game and they are a second party dev., but they co-own Kirby with Nintendo. And it will be published by Nintendo. I have no idea what that makes this game lol.

Cover art looks incredibly generic. Colors feel off too.

@JokerCK was just defending other ppls frustrations. I have no interest in this game myself.

@JokerCK we like to actually own stuff

@N00BiSH it was a 45 minute presentation. Why withhold at all? How does one build anticipation when it isn't implying there's more to show outside of the character at the end?

Underwhelming. 4 racing tracks and one city trial map? No story mode? Why even bother releasing this if you didn't have enough time to properly make it?

@Wood_Stick no. The issue is that this was obviously designed for VRR in docked mode and then wasn't supported last minute. I just don't get how you can't see the issues in docked mode. Are you playing the game on a small screen when docked?

@sixrings remains to be seen if this is disappointing or not. Might be a controversial opinion but I think the original Air Ride isn't that great. There were dev troubles with it, and Sakurai had to take over director responsibilities but still I don't know. They gotta really sell me on this.

@Wood_Stick I have tried both. The game is really choppy and blurry in any wide open spaces when docked. It's smooth with VRR and the blur is hidden in handheld.

@Wood_Stick I played for 25 hours - it does not run nice docked unless you are in a story mission that has you in rooms inside of a building in small spaces. The city runs like crap in general. It is headache inducing when in a car going fast. Outdoors, like in the desert look bad and run poorly. In handheld mode the VRR really smooths fps when running it and performance mode and the smaller screen hides how soft looking the game is on a big TV

I find it odd to be excited for a lot of these games, given their ports would probably look pretty rough. And be more expensive. And (for those who care) not be on physical media.

@Wood_Stick Cyberpunk does not run well docked in any kind of open space. It feels made for the VRR that was never implemented in docked mode.

Team Sonic is just clueless with the decisions they make for Sonic. They've needed new leadership for a long time.

Just give it a hard mode already. Take the time and balance a hard mode. That with this new system would make this awesome. Make it to where I don't feel like I have to constantly cycle Pokemon so they don't get too strong and that I really need to use elemental weaknesses.

Hard pressed to think of another Nintendo first party release that I've ever been less interested in than this game. Ugly aesthetic and super not fun looking controls. This was obviously an internal prototype for mouse controls that they developed a little more to fill in a release schedule gap.

@RiasGremory they're a lot bigger than most amiibo (saw them in store together and they are really big compared to the new Zelda ones next to them). But 40 dollars is effin insane. The general price increase to even the new Nintendo Zelda amiibo completely killed my ammibo buying habit. You should at least get some of the paid dlc on these.

@CutchuSlow Konami owns a lot outside of video games - like pacinko parlours and stuff

@Gatorclops pretty sure this a legit and long running org? Isn't like this is a Smash Bros tournament lol...as I think you're referencing with your comments.

@Dee123 I don't think that's true at all these days. Everyone from 6 to 60 knows about speed running.my gf's kid at a very young age discovered it and loved watching. I've had people a lot older than me at work mention finding speed runs after discovering I play games. It's a concept that explains itself in name.

I've been conditioned to expect nothing from this company at this point. If a gun were put to my head I'd guess something on the level of the Mario day from a few years back. Announce movie news, announce some merch, probably go over games with Mario on Switch and how they are on sale, an event at the parks, etc. A quick 7 minutes.

Makes sense these don't offer upgrades or save file transfers. However no physical release in the west for Switch 1 or 2 or at least English on the card as an import option is so scummy. We are big reason this trilogy became the breakout hit the series had been waiting for.
