Star Fox seems likely. His inclusion is pretty strange when you think about as Star Fox isn't part of Mario. I think with that and the rumoured Switch 2 game i think Nintendo are looking to bring the series back in a big way.
@Jeronan Once you leave Midgar the game opens up massively. Rebirth was always going to be "open world" if it wanted to stay in line with the original game.
@stinkyx Sometimes i wonder if Switch only fans are extremely sheltered to wider gaming as yeah this game is far from greedy, it doesn't even have MTX as off now.
@Yosher Have you even played it? The monetisation is basically a battle pass, starter pack and a 12 month sub (what is easy to ignore). The game constantly throws currency at you for playing and if you have Home its even easier to ignore.
@MediaKing I mean arcades and the AI was purposely made insanely hard so more pennies got put in the machine. Its why the AI in the MK Kollection is really hard as the AI even on consoles was based on arcades. Hell that kollection gives you multiple versions of MK3, want Scorpion? Pay full price for Ultimate MK3 back in the day. How many versions of Street Fighter 2 are there? Even the Switch has a new version of SF2.
@MediaKing MK1 has sold really well more so then SF6 and T8. The reason the DLC bombed was because it wasn't very good and was overpriced. If they just released a character pack of MK characters for £25 it would have sold really well like how the DLC for Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 does.
Tell me would you rather Ultimate MK1 instead at £60? You people have a really weird rose tinted view of how fighters used to be. Fighting games have always gone hard on monetisation right from the moment they started.
@MediaKing Most of the sales came from before the Definite version dropped. All fighters do DLC now and its far better then "ultra" and "ultimate" versions where you were forced to buy another version of the game for new characters and stages. Fighter fans buy at launch not wait till 3 years later where the playerbase has that massive advantage over them due to years of play.
Put a few hours in so far and technical issues aside its pretty good. Haven't lost a single match as everyone is using what the game gives you while i've been using my Home PM haha.
@Suketoudara Requiem doesn't run at 60fps on Switch, it tries too and may hit it sometimes but running at a consistent 60fps is something it does not do on S2
Its good but yeah the depth of perception is pretty terrible and has led to many deaths. Maybe if the camera could be moved closer that issue wouldn't be as bad.
Would be very interesting to see what another OoT remake would be as the 3DS remake is pretty much the definite version of it, in fact i wish that would get a Switch remaster.
@OrtadragoonX Yeah it would be interesting to see how a Switch 2 port would look but i do think it would be a case of just because you can doesn't mean you should. A joy of CD is how lively and populated the world is, its not static at all and it feels lived in like say Red Dead 2. Removing all that, culling the incredible draw distance, downgrading the visuals heavily and even removing some systems would just mean the game isn't really the same game even more. Even the SS version feels like a massively compromised version giving the lack of RT and stripped back visuals and poor image quality.
@rjejr SS can run games that the Switch 2 can't because its a more powerful console and has a far better CPU. CD is CPU heavy and the Switch has a poor CPU.
@Indielink Tell me where the source is for the art used for CD. If you're so certain on a subject you clearly know very little on then give me the original source.
@Indielink Its not theft if the "art" is original. The art used for the paintings is just generic art they generated with AI. Like tell me what was stolen?
@Metazoxan The PS5 is near 90M sales i doubt its underperformed at all. Also to claim something has underperformed you would need to know what the expected sales target was and well you don't know that as Sony has not revealed that info.
@steizgr8 PS5 games can't run from disc because the disc is super slow. Its not a case of running better of the SSD its a case of it would be impossible for many games to run of discs full stop due to how slow they are.
@zockermiller What do you do if every 1st party game going forward is a GKC? Fact is the vast majority don't care and sooner or later physical gaming won't be a real thing anymore. In the age of updates and post release improvements and fixes outside of reselling physical gaming lost its worth years ago. I mean look at it this way let's say Nintendo shut down the Switch servers including those for updates, that physical copy of Pokemon Violet is now just a broken near unplayable game lacking all the fixes and improvements it got post release.
@AccessibleDaydream Her voice actress is American i think and sounds nothing like Zelda in real life. I think Nintendo wanted an english accent for Zelda because english accents and fantasy are pretty common.
@SillyG The vast majority don't care about GKC so i don't think sales would see any real change if it was all on a cart. In fact i'm willing to bet most who own a Switch 2 don't even know what a GKC is.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem's 'Minigame' Update May Be Just Around The Corner
@JohnnyMind It was announced a while back when they revealed the game is getting a paid story expansion.

Re: Hands On: Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Switch 2 Port The Most Ambitious Yet?
@Jeronan Have you even played FF7? The game becomes an open world of sorts pretty early on.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of The Mortal Kombat II Movie Are In
Nice to see Kitana get so much praise.
Re: Poll: Do You Think Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Will Sail Onto Switch 2?
If they can get Shadows on the Switch 2 i expect they can this on it as well.
Re: Pokémon Champions Ver. 1.0.3 Update Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Needs more content. Battle Pass was finished quickly and i've bought all the items and mega stones. Little reason to play as of now.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda Live-Action Movie Has Officially Wrapped Filming
@DollyrotsFan1 "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest"

Re: Unsurprisingly, The Mario Galaxy Movie Is Already 2026's Biggest Box Office Hit
Film is utter trash. Kids and Mario fans deserve better then this cynical souless husk of a film.
Re: Another Switch 1 Release Might Be Ditching The "Cloud Version" Label On Switch 2
Guardians deserved better as it was a fantastic game. Really wish we got a sequel.

Other then technical issues i think its pretty solid. Granted it helps i've been using my Home PM but so far its been good for me.

Re: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Is Getting A Free Update, Planned For Release This Summer
Would be nice if they added some Elders. It feels really barron on that side.

Re: "We Have Begun R&D" - Crimson Desert Dev Shows Interest In A Switch 2 Port
@Indielink Tell me what was stolen and where from?
Re: "We Have Begun R&D" - Crimson Desert Dev Shows Interest In A Switch 2 Port
@Indielink Its not theft if the "art" is original. The art used for the paintings is just generic art they generated with AI. Like tell me what was stolen?
Re: "We Have Begun R&D" - Crimson Desert Dev Shows Interest In A Switch 2 Port
@rjejr The issue is the Switch 2 has a far weaker CPU then SS. If a game is CPU bound then the Switch 2 will struggle.
Re: "We Have Begun R&D" - Crimson Desert Dev Shows Interest In A Switch 2 Port
@Drnsnsr There's nothing souless or generic about it at all. The AI use was for some placeholder paintings.
Re: "We Have Begun R&D" - Crimson Desert Dev Shows Interest In A Switch 2 Port
@Indielink Yeah for a couple of placeholder paintings, its no worse then E33.

Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Resident Evil Villain?
Wesker by far. He's the ultimate villain of the series.
Re: Capcom Wants To Know Your Thoughts About Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
@Cipher36 Enjoy. I'm still early in but i've highly enjoyed what i've played so far.
Re: Sega Shares Updated DLC Roadmap For Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds
The support for this has been pretty insane even if you just rely on the free updates for new content.
Re: Capcom Wants To Know Your Thoughts About Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
@Cipher36 Its 60fps on PS5 if you want that framerate.
Re: Community: Which Switch 1 Games Benefit Most From Switch 2's New Boost Mode?
@Oldstalk They literally just charged Switch 2 owners to toggle 60fps for Xenoblade X.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 22.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Droideka75 Can't believe DF are shilling for that crap.
Re: Community: Which Switch 1 Games Benefit Most From Switch 2's New Boost Mode?
Kinda crazy Nintendo dropped such a game changing feature without warning. Also pretty unlike Nintendo to add such a pro-consumer feature like this.
Re: Community: Which Switch 1 Games Benefit Most From Switch 2's New Boost Mode?
Bayonetta 3 looks a hell of lot better now in handheld.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 22.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Between this and the PS5 Pro update this is a great week for console updates. That boost mode sounds really interesting.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC Is Getting A Code-In-A-Box Release
Very grindy but sheer amount of Mythicals and new Mega's made it worth it for me.

Re: "We Can All Exist At The Same Time" - Zelda Voice Actor Rejects The Need To Pass The Torch
@AccessibleDaydream Her voice actress is American i think and sounds nothing like Zelda in real life. I think Nintendo wanted an english accent for Zelda because english accents and fantasy are pretty common.
Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Pokopia's Physical Troubles Continue As It Slips From The Podium
@zockermiller Might want to consider selling your Switch 2 as GKC are just going to become way more common.
Re: "We Can All Exist At The Same Time" - Zelda Voice Actor Rejects The Need To Pass The Torch
I love her as Zelda so i hope she stays voicing her for years to come.
