@PinderSchloss as much as I enjoy this site when the debate is on point and healthy, I doubt any publishers monitor the comment threads here for the current mood.

@AverageGamer agreed. Ive completed it twice since release and would like to revisit without the grind for a mellow playthrough to enjoy the story.

@krogp an opinion of value is an opinion. You may be on a crusade to spread the word on key cards with your opinions but as others have said, on certain articles it may be misplaced, off topic etc.

I dont mind key cards, each to their own but Im not commenting on every article that is a key card release about it if the topic isn't about key cards.

I'll read on because I dont really have anymore to say on the subject.

@krogp nope but I can call out trolling and comments not adding any value.

@RupeeClock totally agree that it needs to be transparent but this isn't an article about key cards.

@dew12333 😄 Hopefully the NL ninjas will be on to it soon.

@krogp do we have to start all threads with a key card comment?

This article has got nothing to do with key cards.

Will current hardware still work in 30-40 years time? Not convinced.

I'll see what the resolution bump looks like. Both look a little tired in their Wii native format.

Im not a graphics snob by any means but I think these games will pop if done right.

@Anti-Matter lives management is a staple of most platformers.

A quick hop back to an easier level to farm some lives is very much the routine.

@nin10doom I'm not abandoning ship just yet but agree, the key card obsession got stale a long time ago.

Are we going to have this for the next 5-10 years as a theme on the road to all digital?

I'm here just to enjoy the games. Whatever the media. Im sticking with my hobby.

As someone who has owned a Virtual Boy, Im not desperate to go back.

Anyway. Mario Galaxy double pack, MP4 release date and DQ7 gave me a lot to look forward to 👍

Happy to pay the price if we are talking the quality of the Metroid Prime remaster

@SirVick I dont do hats but Im happy with a badge to say I did it the easy way 😃

@SpaceboyScreams yeah thanks for that.

Im no fan of Hello Kitty games or similar but have no issue with anyone who does.

There's no barging in or demanding things. Observations of how difficulty levels could open up games to others and why for me personally, the uber hard games dont appeal.

Its not a demand by any means and if anything I think difficulty levels are better than tinkering to suit for all players.

@RBRTMNZ that's fine.

Im just not up for the ass kicking in some games anymore. I appreciate for some devs it's a choice of design and equally for some gamers part of the fun.

Lots of games I would dive in on if a little easier or the general norm of difficulty.

I probably butchered my twitch fibres on the likes of SF2 in the arcades. Things dont work as quick as they used to.

@Res462 thanks. I'll look into this. The aesthetics always appealed but the difficulty put me off.

@RBRTMNZ not crybabies. Different people, different abilities.

Throwing insults into the conversation shows a real lack of consideration, acceptance of others and maturity.

Join the conversation if you have something useful and respectful to say.

As a slightly older gamer with all that entails, I wouldn't mind some easier modes in certain games.

Its the reason I haven't entertained Cuphead or Elden Ring.

I know this would go against the developers vision but Im way past the age of trying 100 times to succeed and the controller being thrown across the room.

Im of the era of no saves for games and did my time back then.

@Guitario not true. I haven't enough hours in the day to play everything I want to on Switch 2.

More than enough content for me.

@Anti-Matter remember free will my friend. Have your opinion and make your choice but you can't tell others what to buy and not to buy.

@Elitepatriot whilst we could all make comments on any publishers prices, Nintendos software sales are often eye-watering as they are. Im sure they've done the maths with regards to RRP and projected sales.

Competition? Devs can price as they see fit. Any alignment in the industry on pricing (agreed pricing strategies) would breach Competition Law surely?

Some devs might not like what Team Cherry have done but ultimately it's their choice.

In reality, it wouldn't be good for us if a price structure on different games was apparent. Competition law is there to protect us.

@kmtrain83 I think the OG still has 2-3 years. That no 1 spot is still up for grabs and some well placed pack in games would help.

20k OG Switch sales is impressive.

Im knee deep in NMS at the mo so this one is on the list for the inevitable Ubi sell off later on.

Glad it turned out OK performance wise after the previews.

Its a key card so I can still trade it in. Looks the type of game I'll enjoy once but probably not go back to.

@ROMhaiku yes probably the PS4 one. I skipped the PS2 and PS3 so my main experience was the PS1 ones and the PS4. Really didnt like the whole hub world thing.

Liked these on the PS1 but haven't been a huge fan since. Didn't really like some of the off course added bits. Just wanted to play Golf.

Still enjoy most iterations of Mario Golf. Boot up and straight into a round with no faff.

Hopefully by the time it's "bargain bucket" price (it's Ubisoft, so give it 12 months max) it will have had some patches.

Sad day. My constructed Labo variety and VR sets have finally gone to recycling. I have two sealed versions so not too bad.

I have my Pacman arcade cabinet on in the background along with my Spectrum. Synth music spurring me along. 👍

Once the chores are done, really enjoying the SW2 version of NMS that I got in the current sale.

Picked up NMS in the UK sale. Bargain price and thoroughly enjoying it in handheld on SW2. 👍🚀

Sony has never been good at supporting hardware outside its main console. Whilst they could no doubt produce something that is good, it's the longevity and support that is lacking.

Slightly off topic but in regards to Nintendo discounts, now would be a good time to introduce a Nintendo Switch Classics range.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant just an observation of late in these threads. A lot of comments where evidently the commentor (s) haven't either read the article or are repeating the same vibe regardless of the article in question.

A general disdain from some of anything Nintendo at present. That's fine whatever your beef is but if you've made your point, move on. No need to spin a negative or repeat on every article.

I like a debate of differing views. That's good and keeps the conversation healthy but comments of no relevance, substance and/or lacking in a constructive point are sometimes tiring.

Granted its on me to a point to not rise to it or comment back but it's certainly become more apparent on this site of late which is a shame.

@1UP_MARIO any opportunity to say a dislike or something is better.

NL really need to sort these comment forums. Too many spammers getting a free ride.

@Bizzyb that's a mighty fine list 👍

November 25. My uncle works at Nintendo.

@Paulo a tad dramatic whilst quite misinformed.

Nice ....... (plus some dots to pass the minimum character count). 😃

@Kraven physical, digital, code in a box ..... I dont care. Im not missing out on games I want to play and I can't take all this crap with me when I go.

This is my game! Stuck in the 80s and happy.

@Anti-Matter you've not even played it. A zero is for a game that won't load.

There's a lot of things I dont like in life or are not for me but I dont feel the need to talk about them on every thread. Honestly, these forums of late!

Anyway, looking forward to this. 👍

Enjoying Windwaker on NSO at present. Still holding off on X2 until an upgrade. Hoping for news next month.

Might get some C64 in over the weekend. Its the Maxi rerelease and my HDMI to Scart died New one coming from Amazon today. CRT is the way to play 👍

Would only be interested in a good port of Vice City. 80s soundtrack and vibe intact.

Not for me but at least it's reasonably priced for anyone wanting to jump in.

Open minded about this venture.

Will all come down to the fantasy approach taken.

Lord of the Rings, Willow and Legend spring to mind as examples with all 3 being a different approach and style.

..... Pretty safe bet that we are not in the Game of Thrones territory.

I do like the 8bitDo stuff. Never had a problem with anything and generally performs as I want and expect it to. I've got the nes keyboard and fightstick and the controller adaptor so I can use Xbox pads on the Switch.

However this isn't jumping out at me and I think my go to will still be the Pro 2. The pro 1 is legendary but mines currently on its way out. It did well for 8 years mind you.

@Anti-Matter can't get the upgrade if you dont have SW2 anyway

Until they start bundling these games with modern lightguns, they just aren't playable.

Really hope that Namco or Sega bring back the genre.
