This was how I first experienced the original Resident Evil, and it's still my favorite way to play the OG game.

Probably a model with a screen that isn't garbage.

Looks like this will be the next game I order off of my Amazon wishlist.

It's definitely a letdown for a "Switch 2 Edition," but for only $5, the resolution boost alone is worth the money. I'm absolutely disappointed with how few real improvements there are, though.

The dating scene sometimes makes me feel bad for still being a gamer at 34, but videos like this remind me that if someone looks down on a guy in his 30s for loving Zelda and Metroid, they're the problem, not me.

@Chimichanga Not only does EA screw up bigger, but they also usually screw up more often, too.

@Serpenterror There are two or three solid points here in what is otherwise a sea of nonsense.

This is obvious. With the AI-driven chip shortage, Nintendo's production costs are rising. That means they'll either have to eat the extra cost - something that will anger investors and deter potential future investors - or raise prices to make up for the increased production cost. That will drive demand for the Switch 2 down and result in fewer sales - also something that will anger investors and drive stock prices down. Since Nintendo seems to be releasing the last few Switch 1st party games and focusing on Switch 2 games, the drop in hardware sales will mean a drop in potential software sales which, again, will anger investors and drop stock prices.

It's a no-win scenario for Nintendo because, unlike Microsoft and Sony, they don't have other business divisions to prop up stock prices. Xbox is tanking? No problem, everyone still uses Windows. Playstation is tanking? Let's shift focus to our television department. Nintendo doesn't have that option.

@Teksette If you have a PS5 or Series X, Resurgence has physical on those platforms, but yeah, unfortunately not Switch. It's a great game, though; I highly recommend it.

Judging from the performance of Black Ops II and Ghosts on Wii U vs other platforms, I'm cautiously optimistic that this will be a good version. They just need to make sure they prioritize performance over visual fidelity. If Call of Duty worked well (and I played them all, it did) on Wii, it can work well on Switch 2.

@MathByThePixel As AStupidAI said, we've had that game for over 15 years - Star Trek Online

I hope they make a mission based on the episode Threshold. I need to see Lizard Janeway and Lizard Paris make abomination lizard babies in HD lmao

I'll miss the folks who left, but I'm excited to see what kind of energy and vibe Mai brings to NintendoLife.

They'll look virtually identical when they're on the Switch or in the grip. They're still just black; one hardly ever sees the inside.

@spiderman0616 100% dude. I hate the game key cards, too, but it is what it is, and no matter what those five or six scream endlessly, it is going to make absolutely no difference to Nintendo if a few thousand people refuse to buy physical releases because they're game key cards. This isn't a boycottable situation because the shift to an all-digital gaming landscape is inevitable. Let us talk about games in peace.

I've got this preordered for Switch 2, and I'm stoked.

@Anti-Matter If the game requires an update in order to run, it doesn't matter if the disc has 99% of the data or 0% of the data; if it's not completely on disc, then it's effectively no better than a game-key card.

Depending on price, I'm potentially very interested.

I think the standard Arcade Stadium cover is the best for the collection as it's representative of many games, but purely for the artwork, the Ghouls 'n' Ghosts cover is my favorite.

Also I love how they announce this THE DAY AFTER I buy the full collection DLC for both Arcade Stadium games >_>

God, I would love for this to be an Eternal Darkness sequel or remake.

Looks like the listened to customer feedback from their first case and made the needed changes for this one.

I just assume every AAA game will skip Nintendo until confirmed otherwise.

@Dr_Corndog There are legitimate gripes. Spotty customer service, relatively high prices for often very short and/or low quality games, etc. But it's mostly just whining about niche collectors' products with high price tags. People whine about the long times between preordering and delivery, but manufacturing doesn't even start until after the entire preorder window closes, and even as big as LRG has gotten, Nintendo is going to prioritize making Yakuza cartridges for Sega over making Jaws cartridges for LRG. Lower priority, higher turnaround time. It's, at BEST, only partly lax work on LRG's part.

I, personally, LOVED playing Jaws on my NES as a kid. I'll be skipping the big edition, but I'll def pick up the regular physical.

I'm pretty early in - just beat the Volt Towers or whatever it's called - and while I don't think it's as good as the previous Prime games, I'm still having a GREAT time with it. I gave it a 9.

The DLC for Assassin's Creed III on Wii U was completely unplayable for me. There was a bug about an hour into the DLC where you had to crouch walk through grass to sneak by some soldiers, but it would ALWAYS and CONSISTENTLY bug out and not let me stand back up or attack or sprint or anything. I even uninstalled the entire game including the DLC and redownloaded - no dice. Ubisoft just doesn't bother with QA on Nintendo ports, I swear.

@Kingy Mario Kart 8 is the best MK game ever made imo. World is fantastic, but I'd put it at #4 behind 8, Double Dash, and 7, respectively.

@TruestoryYep You must not be a long-time Silent Hill fan. That was the best new Silent Hill experience we've gotten since Shattered Memories, and that's been 16 years.

@RenanLK It kind of makes sense considering that, since the Wii, Nintendo has intentionally released hardware much weaker than other consoles' to beat their prices. I never really heard it much before Switch; there were definitely a few games on Wii and Wii U I'd say could justify it, but nothing like Panic Button's work to get Doom and Wolfenstein II to run on Switch. We definitely don't have what I would consider to be an "impossible port" on Switch 2 yet, but I do think that Cyberpunk and AssCreed Shadows come close. I reckon I'll feel the same about the upcoming Resident Evil ports.

@Jimmy_G_Buckets I get it - the game should be in a 100% fully playable state on cartridge, and these patch notes suggest that amiibo support isn't in the version of the game on cart making it not 100% playable as that's a heavily advertised feature - but they're also so ubiquitous in gaming these days that people really need to get over it and stfu imo.

I totally agree with their #1 pick, and while I personally would have put Donkey Kong at #2, I agree with putting if over MK World. That said, I think MK World should have been higher, and Silent Hill f should have been WAY higher.

@Jumwa I've said the same for years. I played Dread and beat it, but it was a tough one in some parts. I'm just, as you said, too old to have the time, patience, or energy to "git gud;" but I still want to experience a great story and adventure

@Quarth They also have more than just the NFC chip in them; there are magnets to snap the characters into the karts, and both pieces have a chip in them independently since you can mix and match (put Waddle Dee in Kirby's kart and vice versa).

I am a Nintendo shill. I must maintain my complete amiibo collection.

@arabiansanchez Not to mention that those smaller games often look and run better than the gigantic third party games. Given how stunning Metroid Prime 3 looked on Wii, I expect 4 to be similarly mind blowingly beautiful.

You also get some Safari Balls if you get to Rank E. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the article as they and Sport Balls are the rarest Pokeballs.

Hoooleeeeey crap. That's a beefy game. Biggest file size on Switch 2 so far, isn't it?

My respect and admiration for Panic Button and its talented staff is infinite.

@ElRoberico Reminds me of every Boomer calling Zoomers Millennials.

@ShadLink I assume you're talking about comparing Roblox games to AAA games. That's like comparing a Winnie the Pooh book to Salem's Lot.

@Sonicka Comparing a Roblox game to AAA games is just...wild.

"Gen Z doesn't care about slop" is not only untrue but also ignores that Millennials are the generation born into gaming with the most purchasing power at the moment; they'd be remiss to ignore us. It's Gen Alpha that seems to live and breathe AI slop, and the oldest Gen Alpha kids are still in high school.

I'd love to say Donkey Kong, but Expedition 33 is definitely the best of the lot in my opinion.

I think it looks perfect. It's basically exactly what I imagined Zelda and Link looking like in a live action movie.

They should have skipped Switch and just ported it to Switch 2.

I'm not a fan of the design personally - too much like regular Starmie just stretched out - but I love that it's become a queer icon. As with all icons, the best ones are those that get adopted as queer, not intentionally designed as queer.

Gonna have to steal my copy back from my girlfriend

I preordered one, and I've never regretted it in the slightest. I learned with the Wii U that Nintendo's "pro" controllers are going to be comfortable, premium products. I adored the Wii U pro controller, I never used anything with my Switch except for its pro controller, and I've yet to use a controller other than the pro controller with my Switch 2. Each pro controller is better than the last. The price, while high, is very fair in my opinion.

This is a perfect reason for a delay. And as for the "what if it's a game key card"...I hope to God it's not, but if it is, I'll still take that over a purely digital release.

Man, no mention of the Atari 50 Namco DLC? As a huge Atari fan, that's what I'm most excited about.

@batmanbud2 I mean, by that logic, I should regret buying an Xbox 360 because of Ride to Hell Retribution. Being glad you didn't buy a system because of one bad game completely ignores the really fantastic games the system had.
