@Hyrulean I used them with the switch 2 for a good few hours one day recently without any eye strain. The glasses do dig a bit into your nose with the weight, but not enough to stop me playing.

There’s a little bit of blurring on the edges of the ‘screen’ but I had no problem reading text or anything. Much easier than on the small screen, and everything comes up clearer because the screen is nice and bright.

Xreal has this Real3D mode where you press a button and it makes the game ‘3D’. Genuinely fun… for about 2 minutes, because the picture also goes quite jaggy, that’s not just the Switch though, also happens with movies.

@BaldB3lper78 Agree that it’s crazy as an accessory for one console. I also use my Xreal one pros to watch big screen cinema in bed without disturbing my partner. I can also plug into my iPad and play Indiana jones via Amazon Luna whilst lying on my back

Just played through RE requiem using Xreal glasses and the viture mobile dock. Meant I could use the joy-con aiming whilst out and about. Generally worked a treat, though would occasionally cut out. Not ideal when being chased by zombies!

Ethan’s story was the best. I choked up at the end of RE8.

But Leon is still the GOAT

This is on the same level as Nintendo just casually adding support for Bluetooth headphones in an update.
I can’t think of a game that I’ve been that bothered about picture quality in handheld, but I’ll definitely be utilizing this as I have a huge backlog of Switch 1 games bought on sale that I’m yet to touch.

Amazing news! Hoping for a switch 2 update for death’s door and outer wilds too but this is pretty much top of my wishlist

I’ve literally just got to this power up in bananza and it may be OP, but it’s also ridiculously good fun!

I think it’s likely this game will be looked upon as a mis-step for the series, but not the end of the world which a lot of people have made it out to be. Some of the negative online discord will be from the ‘rage-bait’ algorithms built into social media, but I do think some of it stems from the sense of crushing disappointment that this is what we get after the long wait.

I’ve yet to form a final opinion because I’ve stepped away for a bit. That duke character in the Flare pool area just wound me up too much. All the characters have done, but this one is just so… crass, for what I see as an atmospheric game series

A superhero game where you manage dispatches from an office… I suppose it’s something different. But ‘light on meaningful gameplay’ is a bit of a red flag for me.

That said, the reviews look good. Might pick it up on sale for a bit of bedtime gaming.

80 on Metacritic so far, which is easily the lowest in the main prime series. I suspect this is more a case of expectations of quality changing over time. Plus what Ollie says about this likely being a divisive game. I’m still excited to step back into the Metroid universe.

Holey moley Split Fiction is already out for the Switch 3. Nice!

Good to see Donkey Kong doing so well in the run up to Christmas. I bet it’ll be a great Christmas Day game.

Play activity is back!! I can’t say how happy this makes me, I need those granular stats in my life.

I really struggled with bumpy road back in the day. Maybe 14 years more gaming experience will bring me greater success this time.

Lost in Cult book looks lovely. If they could get a move on and release their Outer Wilds book that would be most welcome.

What does new mean? I’m not buying games I’ve already got so every game I buy is new. But I buy lots of games 2nd hand, do they count?

‘ As seems to be the trend in the UK, the digital version is cheaper, coming in at £58.99 (versus £66.99 for a physical copy).’

Is that physical price a typo?

@PurpulTyeDye Well now the article has been changed so I look like an idiot 😂

I won’t be tuning in tomorrow, will wait until Friday 😉

A Metroid release date is all I need.

Next debate: Dark-ray or Dark-rye?

I played the demo on pc. It didn’t blow me away. I didn’t even finish it.

That being said I will 100% be getting this down the line, just maybe not day 1.

Enter the Gungeon 2 release date would be lovely. Silksong too of course. Everything else would just be gravy.

Oddly not coming to iOS/Android.

If this works with mouse mode on Switch 2 I might consider it. But suspect EA would be too lazy to cater to different consoles like that

I feel like this belongs on my Playdate. C’mon Panic!

2 new Katamari games in 1 year. Am I in heaven??

Will be getting on switch 2. Not sure how the OG switch will handle these graphics

My daughter loves the eeveelutions, this will blow her mind

This will be perfect to play with my daughter! She’s been getting into Zelda with the Wind Waker too

I’ve lost a few fingers so far. But as long as I keep thumbs and index fingers I’m good to go

Steam Deck owners: “Welcome to the club”

I love a back button. Anything that would take my thumb off either stick gets mapped to a back button if possible.

Are you seriously saying you’ve only just received some units?? Thought you would have had them for weeks!

Guess this explains the lack of Mario kart review

Picking up at midnight launch. Wrapping it up like a present. Knocking myself out to wipe my memory. Wake up in the morning to a nice surprise!

These mostly look very nice, some are a bit busy. There is something to be said for the lower quality of the originals where you use your imagination to fill in the gaps. It’s like seeing a book you love made into a film and they didn’t realise it the way it is in your head

Preordered, thanks! GameCube was the first console I bought for myself so I’m hopping on the nostalgia train

@KayFiOS Round of applause for the effort put in here!

I think MK World may be going to do a similar thing with outfits bumping up the roster. And that’s fine by me, bus driver Waluigi and vampire Waluigi have completely different backstories in my head.

It’s going to take something to top Mariokart Tour, I just did a quick scroll through the racer list and I think there’s 265, might have miscounted though

Howwwwwww did I miss Enter the Gungeon 2!

Played this endlessly with my newborn baby sleeping on my chest. Maybe it’ll be co-op and we can play the sequel together **sniff**

@OldGamer999 Thanks, just pre ordered mine!

Well the discrepancy between the physical and digital price is just the 5% that you used to get as gold coins. I’d rather keep my own money, so sounds fair

Ah yes, those of us living in ‘Your local time’ had this presentation last week. It was ok, the release date of 1st April 2027 was a hard pill to swallow…

‘A feature will be added that allows you to share cards you’re interested in trading for via the in-game trading function’

That’s all I was hoping for. Though the opportunity to get rid of this Shinedust hoard is welcome too

How do you decide on a trade without agreeing what to trade outside the app? As mentioned above, you can’t request what you want from someone else, you just blindly offer up one of your own, seems bizarre. It’s like they want to encourage a black market.

Why not play New Super Mario Bros Deluxe instead? Toadette changes into Peachette which is the easiest character I think. Plus you can carry your daughter over the tricky bits. Don’t think you can do that in Wonder unless I’m wrong? Can you even turn yourself into a bubble in Wonder?

I thought they were just having a little joy-con race. Didn’t realise this confirmed mouse-functionality

When’s the direct? Feb or April??

This is lovely. Thanks for making my Monday a little bit brighter!

If the rumours are true and the Switch 2 is mainly just a spec upgrade, how are Nintendo going to generate the same buzz that this trailer created?

Oh man that ending to Resident Evil Village. As the father of a 9 month old girl I definitely had a tear in my eye

I just finished this game. It even crashed during the credits. Now that’s impressive

Really fun game. But all the Echoes makes it feel like you’re… breaking it too much. Like you’re in debug mode.

Also my overuse of the swordmaster form says everything you need to about the standard combat.

Still really enjoying it at ~60% completion. Probably heading for a 9.

One thing I’m reading from a lot of these comments is that people will be holding out for ‘the switch 2 version’. Is this just wishful thinking or has this been confirmed as coming to switch 2? I can’t see anything about this
