@Cry_Zero Couldn't disagree more, but to each his own.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a fan of the wraparound art on the spine. The solid red of the Switch cases let me more clearly read the title at a glance. I like that the cases seem to be otherwise pretty similar to those of the Switch.

I played on Series X before any of the DLC dropped, so I'm stoked to play with the DLC and on a Nintendo platform! I'm also hopeful that we'll see an upgrade patch for Switch 2 for The Witcher 3 at some point in the system's first year. Not saying I expect it, mind you, but I'm hopeful.

DMC is awesome, but good god, stop remaking crap. Give us new experiences, not rehashed old experiences with a new coat of paint.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Nintendo struck gold with the Switch.

I know everyone hates LRG, but I need them to do a physical Switch print of this ASAP; it's the only game in the series that I don't have on my Switch shelf atm.

I'll throw this on my Amazon wishlist for a sale, but while I'm not gonna say the price is unreasonable, $60 is a bit more than I personally am willing to pay for a 16-bit styled game.

When LRF does a standard edition, I'll pick that up, but I'm not big enough a Gex fan to go for a $200 special edition. Besides, everyone knows 3DO is the best system to play Gex on.

A - The games are COMPLETELY different, so a direct comparison is asinine

B - GTA 5 may have 210 million units sold, but it's available on seven platforms. That would average to 30 million per platform. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, however, was available on one platform only (I'm talking Deluxe, not the Wii U original) and sold over 60 million.

C - GTA, despite selling two and a half times as many copies across seven consoles over 12 years AND having in-game currency microtransactions figuring into revenue has only brought in twice the revenue that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has in eight years.

D - Oh my god, shut up Rockstar guy, just let us play our games in peace without starting a pissing contest.

Kiryu's voice is fine, although I prefer the gruffer Japanese voice actor. Matt Mercer is an incredible voice actor, and that clip fits Majima perfectly for the early game, but I wonder if he'll do Majima's insane persona at the end of the game justice.

I'm cool with this. There's a bunch of pedos out there, and naive kids make easy targets. Besides, it's not like I'm sitting there nude or snorting lines while I play Switch. All they're gonna be recording is a fat guy in pajamas cursing a lot lmao

I love CDPR. Game Key Cards don't really bother me, but it's definitely better for the game to be fully on the cartridge like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk. Hopefully other companies will see them and take note. Definitely gonna "vote with my dollar" by buying this one.

Prices rise on almost all products all the time. Inflation is a constant. The idea that gaming should be an exception is bizarre and asinine. I'm going to be cutting back on my gaming purchases but because I bought a house with a higher mortgage, not because the price of games went up $10.

I have the original release of those, so I'll be skipping this collection, but I absolutely love seeing the Jaguar game included here. Such a glorious failure of a console; I love seeing it get acknowledged.

Nintendo needs to start going through and forcing the bloatware off of the eShop. The "Nintendo Seal of Quality" was always a bit of a joke, but it's like they'd tried to mock the very concept of quality these days. No game should be allowed on the eShop until it's been vetted by a real live person. It's obvious they're using some automated algorithm because surely no flesh and blood human would allow this much garbage on the eShop.

@JohnnyMind Nice, I envy your literacy in Japanese. The OG is one of my favorite GBC games, so I try to let people know about the sequel's translation patch whenever it comes up in conversation.

@JohnnyMind Obviously not as good as NSO, but there's a translation patch if you have an Everdrive or emulator (and, of course, own the cartridge and thus can legally possess and use a ROM).

I do not like the look of these at all.

I think both look good. But it runs like dog piss, so focus on improving that, not the color scheme.

I'm not thrilled about it, but it was inevitable. Think about all the Switch games with required downloads. This really isn't much different in effect. Even if it's a full download that the card just unlocks, I can still resell it. I can't do that with digital purchases. Beyond that...I just enjoy collecting physical media. This scratches that itch for me. Eventually all of our discs will rot, our cartridges will corrode, and our hard drives will fail. Just enjoy the stuff you enjoy while you can, and if that's an empty cartridge that just unlocks a download, enjoy it to the fullest.

@Serpenterror Xbox is designed in the United States; not one scrap of it is made in the United States just like how Playstation 5 and Switch is made is China and Vietnam, not Japan.

That's just the times we live in.

Is this ideal? No. Are 90% of the people in these comments making a mountain out of a molehill? Yes. As has been mentioned, it will be DECADES before you stop being able to redownload games you've bought. The Wii came out 19 years ago, and you can still redownload games you bought there. These game key cards will be no different.

As for "Limited Run is built on a mountain of lies" or whatever...This isn't one of their games. They're just the distributors. The games they publish are always fully playable on the cartridge or disc. They're not publishing these games, though, so they don't control what is and isn't on the game cartridge. There's plenty of things to criticize LRG for legitimately without inventing reasons that aren't grounded in reality.

A better solution would be to stop allowing the eslop in the first place.

@beltmenot This. It's not really any different than the Switch games that required mandatory downloads or the PS5 and XSX games that require you download the rest of the game in order to play. It doesn't matter if 0% of the game is on the card or 95% of the game is; if you have to download any part of it in order to play, it's not different than these game keys. I'm certainly not happy about the game key cards, but it's better than just buying it digitally; at least with a key card, you can lend it to a friend to resell it later. Plus collectors can put it on a shelf for the aesthetic.

Pro controller, camera, GCN controller, and micro SD card for me

@DwaynesGames I hadn't realized Path of Radiance had been announced yet. The fool here, I am.

@DjinnFighter ooo yea that would do it lol. I must have missed that announcement. Oops

How on earth did Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance not make this list?

EDIT: I hadn't realized it had already been announced. Shame on me.

I'm not expecting a Switch 2 release, but I'll keep my fingers crossed. A remaster of an old game is gonna be less taxing on weaker hardware than a new game built from scratch, so I think it's possible we'll see one in the coming months.

@killercerial I interpreted most of what they've reported thus far as "The games we're seeing are on par with PS4" more than "The system hardware is on par with PS4's" because launch window games are ALWAYS rougher in visuals and performance than mid-life and end-life games.

@jwfurness Exactly. Don't get me wrong, I love UHD with high res textures, advanced shadow and particle effects, ray tracing, blast processing, whatever other buzz word we want to throw in. But if you give me at least a solid 1080p or 1440p image and an unbroken 60 fps, I'm gonna be a happy camper no matter what platform I'm using.

@Stegiand Handhelds, especially with Nintendo, traditionally lag about a gen behind in terms of hardware power. The Game Boy was weaker than the NES and Master System. The Game Boy Color was about on par with. GBA was about on par with SNES and Genesis. DS was roughly on par with N64 and PS1. 3DS was roughly on par with Gamecube and PS2. Switch was was a little stronger than Wii U and PS3. So it makes sense that Switch 2 will be somewhere in the PS4/XB1 neighborhood.

The mistake, in my view, is holding Switch to home console standards because, at the end of the day, it's a handheld with an HDMI-out cradle.

I am super hyped for this console. It sounds like first party games are around PS4 Pro levels (which isn't terribly surprising given that Nintendo is always better at squeezing power out of its hardware than other devs) with third party games around PS4 levels, and that's totally fine in my book. I have a lot of friends who haven't even made the jump to PS5/Series X yet because they're still content with the games and visuals on PS4/XB1, so I really don't consider "only PS4 visuals" to be that big of a ding.

I'm fine with waiting for a restock as long as I'm assured that there will be a restock.

@Jimmy_G_Buckets I'll be happy if it even looks on par. The fact that it's looking a little better makes me extremely optimistic.

That was the most amazing commercial I've seen in a loooooooong time

Just the concept of Cyberpunk 2077 on a handheld is exciting to me. Yes, I know, Steam Deck blah blah blah, whatever. Even if it's not, this feels categorically different to me.

Not often I prefer Western box art over the Japanese counterpart, but this is definitely one of those rare instances.

Disappointing but not surprised. The tariffs have really screwed us gamers over big time.

I thought $80 was fair before the Direct (as a reminder, $80 in 2025 has the same purchasing power as $60 in 2017), but I'm absolutely positive it will be a reasonable price that's worth it.

Switch is the perfect console for indie games. I just pray they crack down on the garbage shovelware with Switch 2.

@Dhaladog Same, but by the same token, I said the same thing about Wii motion controls for shooters, and it ended up being my preferred control scheme, so I'm going in with an open mind.

I'm gonna try both control schemes to see what I like better, but I reckon I'll stick with the standard pro controller.

Even if they're not Nintendo made games, I'm at least glad that four of the top 10 games are on Switch.

@Spider-Kev The realest gamer

Real gamers played it on Wii U

Idk what y'all are talking about, Wheelchair Basketball Simulator 2025 looks awesome

The UI is clean af. The UI is also boring af. I pray to god they give us at least different color theme options even if not legitimate themes like 3DS had.

But how does it compare to a triple Whopper with cheese?

I am SO stoked for this. It looks amazing, both in terms of visuals as well as gameplay.

@sixrings Normally I would whole heartedly agree with you - open world is overdone - but the Forza Horizon games on Xbox have me more open to it in racing games than most other genres.
