@pspooky same here. I will not purchase it until they do 60 frames per second because that game has a lot of sweeping areas and 30 FPS can be a bit annoying
@OrtadragoonX So here's my question, if it's such a horrible engine and all these things, why don't they just remake it? All they'd have to do is reuse the assets? This game has made them money hand over fist, you think they would be happy to have a proper remake and have something they can be proud of, but no, they're trying to squeeze every last dollar out of that game
It's just insane that they release games like this, they should be ashamed of themselves, I certainly hope that one day these mega ga giant corporations like Bethesda get broken up and have individual studios again, it's just freaking ridiculous how much money they spend on trying to make a game and then it ends up sucking and then you take a 10-year-old game and try to put it on a new console and I could run it better on my toaster! I can only imagine the bureaucratic nightmare that accompany that big must be. There must be so many middle managers and so many different people getting in the way of a good product, think of all the millions of dollars wasted on payroll for people that literally their job is to screw up games... Lol. Instead of letting the developers make a good game.
@JayJ I'm curious to play this game, I have need for speed for the switch, and I also have burnout Paradise, both games are very good games, and I do like both, however need for speed automobiles feel heavy as hell, and burnout. Of course all the cars feel light as a feather, how does grid stack up on this? Do the cars fill super heavy and cumbersome? I would love to find a game that is somewhere in between burnout Paradise and need for speed, every time I play. Need for speed. I end up enjoying myself, but it still feels like my car is stuck in molasse.
I would love to have a old school style call of duty with a single-player campaign, but I have no will or want to play any kind of online multiplayer, it's just horrible. Also, the recent past has been shoehorning in girl bosses and other modern tropes that are just so overdone.
@vio I agree. Devs make games for the new "modern audience" while simultaneously abandoning the base core gamers which make up 95% of the buyers... I need to make a return to the '90s and early 2000s...
@nmanifold It's funny. I use game chat about 40% of the time as me and my sister live in different cities and play games concurrently... Game chat is so much better than the phone.
@rvcolem1 not much... This game has been criticized due to its story, which some find to be forced diversity. While the gameplay is generally considered good, it has not performed well commercially, especially in Japan, where it was met with significant criticism.
"The dismissiveness seems to come from people who aren't aware of the high skill ceiling and depth of gameplay."
I'm aware but the tracks are sub-par compared to MK 8. They feel way too wide and the open world is way too devoid of things to do. I was absolutely gobsmacked that we didn't get an update for DK Bonanza release to MKW... It's like Nintendo is just being stubborn.... also I want a 4k update for MK8 but.... You know they will not do it because MKW!
"Mario Kart World features a new, seamless world with interconnected courses"
With every racing franchise I'm aware of, the open world version always has worse tracks than the non open world. I really hope they fix MKW as it's wonderful except for the lame course design.
@Shiryu The whole character design of her is not good, I would much rather have a non realistic character in line with astral chain or other "pretty" character styles. I don't understand the current push to make all characters ugly or "normal" looking
And I kind of remembered why I got annoyed at this game. The stupid spiders are annoying, and how the hell are you supposed to know where you're supposed to go? Confusing as hell with a stupid key cards and such. Yes I know the old Boomer shooters have that, and they made them like labyrinths, but this day and age there's no reason to do that part of the game to make it a boomer shooter.
@purple_shyguy okay I just tried it It works wonderfully, it says in the upper left hand corner when done during gameplay Max frames per second 99.
And it's smooth as butter now, wow still kind of blows my mind that this game was so unoptimized that it couldn't run at 60 frames per second on the original switch.
I'm actually impressed how many games with in this short of a time period have been made compatible. I'm very pleased with the improvement in performance the NSW2 deals out to these older games. Extremely impressive.
Really digging the resident evil. I am downright dismayed at having Bonanza DLC, expensive DLC, no free update? Why so expensive and why so soon? Also No Mario kart world updates? Mario kart world has so far not proved to be a better game than Mario kart 8, and it's definitely not worth it as an $80 game, are they just trying to piss the customers off? Nintendo just comes off as snooty and greedy right now... I do like that Mario Galaxy 2 is coming out finally, but I'm kind of pissed that they didn't announce Mario Galaxy 3 for sometime in 2026, that would be brilliant.
Nintendo really screwed up with the cartridge design and decisions this go around, if what we're hearing is true the switch to cartridges are relatively slow, And that's why some companies are using the key card method, if Nintendo is smart about this they would have gotten rid of the key card, and left a block on the internal memory for a rather large cash file, so that games could prefetch assets from the card prior to them being needed by the game....
Physical percent sales are just horrible for Nintendo because of these damn key cards
Yeah not going to buy it not going to play it, this reminds me of the ill fated Star Fox zero. I was so excited for a new Star Fox I purchased it day one, and I really really tried to like it, and I just didn't like it because of the stupid controls...
Wow... A lot of folks are saying they prefer this to Mario kart world. And I kind of get it, Mario kart's worlds tracks are so wide there is very little actual karting involved.
Okay so my second question If I buy Madden 2025, will I be able to play this game and say 2030? 2028? Or will they make me buy the new game because they turned off 2025 online servers?
And how come he did not mention the stuttering I just watched another video and it stutters like hell. I don't get how this reviewer just glosses over that fact

Re: Community: It's Time To Rate Your Switch 1 & 2 Games Of The Year
@BulkSlash MKW I don't think we'll ever feel fast because of the stupid track designed comment. It is way too wide and way too boring compared to 8.

Definitely not MKW or Metroid

And they should add Super Mario Galaxy 2 as an update for 3D All-Stars for $20.
