Haven't gotten the games yet. I'm still focusing on other games but will eventually buy em.

To each their own, I played Cross Worlds and didn't find it to be better than MKW. Am I biased? Probably since I was never a Sonic fan and never cared for any of the games or characters. Not saying Cross Worlds is bad, it's a fun racing game and if people think it's better than MKW then that's fine.

For me MKW was the better game.

I might had considered buying this if they included all the DLC since it would give me a reason to double dip. The game is already available on other platforms for more than a year at cheaper prices.

I still need to play Triangle Strategy, bought the game years ago on Switch but never got around to playing it.

The price is expensive but man I'm probably gonna take the dive again since I love the Mario Galaxy games. Out of the two games I still prefer Mario Galaxy 1 since I liked the setting a lot more with Rosalina having more of a role.

Galaxy 2 is amazing but I agree with what Alex says the starship Mario is kinda boring when compared to Rosalina's starship.

I might hold off a bit before buying though, thankfully so far this isn't a limited release like 3D All Stars and let's hope it stays this way.

Feels like there was barely any marketing for the Switch 2 version of this. I haven't seen many talk about it and the Nintendo Direct only briefly highlighted the game.

It's on my to play list though but I'll probably wait since my gaming budget will go towards Metroid this year and the Dragon Quest Remakes along with Silent Hill to end the year.

Gonna miss watching Zion's videos and I always liked how he gave time to talk about lesser known games like Famicom Detective Club. Best of luck moving forward!

Key cards can be sold and lent to others:

@topsekret
Relax you made your point. All I was saying was some PS5 games that are physical don't contain the full game and act similar to a key card. No need to go on a tangent.

1) I never defended the practice of key cards
2) As I mentioned I get why people are mad, I only said it doesn't bother me

@Bobobiwan
Says it's 17 GB on the Nintendo eshop. I'm considering buying the Switch 1 version if there's an upgrade path but Square hasn't announced anything for that so I'll probably pick up the Switch 2 version.

@topsekret
Not all PS5 games have the game on the disc is what I meant. Look at Indiana Jones for example where it requires you to do download the game from the PSN store. Many third party games on PS5 do this.

Hope that clarifies what I meant to say.

I honestly don't care about the key card thing but I get why people are mad even though Sony has been doing this with PS5 as well.

Gonna pick this up after beating 3.

• Yes I understand why PS5 games install from the disc and I understand the situations aren't identical. But some physical games don't contain the full game which requires a download in which the disc is a soft key card. (I own a PS5)

I finished the Kirby Star Crossed World DLC which I thought was pretty fun and now I'm diving into Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake on Switch 2.

This is my first time playing Dragon Quest 3 and I'm loving it. I've been meaning to play more Dragon Quest games and with the remake of 1&2 plus 7 on the horizon I thought it would be the perfect time to start.

I feel bad for these people since I've been let go due to outsourcing in one of my previous jobs. It's an awful feeling knowing that you're going to be replaced.

@MatthewTaranto
It's the best kept secret in gaming for the West at least. I've become a fan of the series now and plan on playing the older ones.

I'm a new fan to the series, played 11 first and diving into 3 HD Remake currently. Can't believe I waited this long to play this series, I can see why people love these games.

Looking forward to playing more of these remakes.

@eldersnake
I felt the same way, everything just feels like a chore. The repetition after you die just got boring for me and I quickly lost interest. I'm happy for people who love it but to me it's no where close to Metroid or Castlevania.

I tried to get into Hollow Knight but the back tracking and difficulty just got annoying for me so I dropped it. I understand why people love the game but it just isn't for me.

I already have 3D Mario All Stars so no need for Mario Galaxy 1. 4K is a nice upgrade but ityt not enough to justify the premium price for both games. I'll be getting Galaxy 2 though

I didn't even know this was announced until now. This is great news! The Star Force series is such an underrated series, it had a charming cast of characters and the battle system was pretty fun. Will definitely pick this one up.

@SillyG
Engage had the much better gameplay. Even though I love Three Houses it had lots of issues. The social sim aspects at the monastery slowed the progression to a snails pace at times.

Time for me to spend a ridiculous amount of time playing Fire Emblem again. We still don't have the remake of FE4 which is a meme at this point but a brand new game is even better!

Also I don't think this means the FE4 remake is dead. This looks like it's being made by the same team that did Three Houses which was developed by Koei Tecmo, while Engage was made in house by Intelligent Systems. So I honestly believe the FE4 remake is being developed in house while Koei works on the new game.

I feel this list is way too early to even be talking about and like many have said Silksong at number one is ridiculous lol It's good but way overhyped.

If we're talking about Switch 2 only games DK Bananza is number one for me so far. The system hasn't even been out for a year yet so lots of time for this list to change.

Playing through the Kirby Star Crossed Worlds DLC and it's been fun returning to the game after a few years. I'm also thinking of playing Hollow Knight, bought the game years ago but never played it. With all the hype around Silksong I think it's time I try it out.

Also playing Mega Man Battle Network 4.5 Operation for the first time. For those who don't know what that is it's a battle network spin off that never left Japan but got an English patch a few years ago.

This is just a rumour so let's see how this plays out long term. Sony is doing terrible in its home market of Japan which is dominated by Nintendo, this to me would be a response to that and an attempt to get a foot hold there again.

I would be interested to see how Sony tackles a hybrid console and honestly I'm not surprised if they make one since the video game industry is a copy cat business.

Would I buy a Sony hybrid console? Maybe, I loved the PSP and thought the VITA was a waste of money with no 1st party support.

Nintendo has proven that people love hybrid consoles, I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony take a shot at this.

I'm still deciding if I should buy the GBA version or digital version of the game. I haven't bought a GBA game in years so I might go for that.

I played this back in PS4 and loved the game. I might pick it up again for Switch 2 but can't say I'd pay full price again since I already own the game along with the PS5 upgrade.

I'm surprised so many people here changed the controls. I got used to it very quickly and went with the default controls. Maybe it's because I was used to playing platformers on GBA where the A button was the jump button. The A button to me has always been the more natural jump button in my brain for years.

I was holding out for a price drop for the PS5 version but might pick this up if it ends up being a good port. I love the old Indiana Jones films and been wanting to play this game for a while now.

Why is there no Switch 2 version of this? I don't think this is related to not having DEV Kits since Namco is a pretty close partner with Nintendo. To me this screams laziness, along with their other Tales remasters in recent years.

@EarthboundBenjy
I have never played a Rune Factory game until this one. The story is self contained and you need no knowledge of previous titles to enjoy this one. It's a solid action RPG with farm/town simulator elements.

I've been playing this game slowly after putting it on the back burner for DK Bananza. This was my first ever Rune Factory game and I'm really liking it so far. The art style is very vibrant, great cast of characters and solid gameplay. Plus it's one of the few third party games on Switch 2 that actually has a proper physical copy.

I've tried to get back into the series since last gen with the Switch entries and none of the games have impressed me. I'm not normally a graphics snob but Z-A still looks like an upscaled PS3/Wii era game.

I'll probably pass on this but cool for people who are excited for it.

Besides Mina the Hollower nothing really interested me. The game looks great, love the old school Zelda look.

I'm gonna pick up the upgrade pack but might wait a bit since I'm still playing DK Bananza and have a few other games to go through. The base game was already great so this is a no brainer for me.

Ya this is a no buy for me until they update the Switch 2 version to be on par with other platforms. For a game like this not to run at 60fps on Switch 2 is non excusable.

Looks interesting, seems to be a homage to the Mana series and I might check it out.

Still playing through DK Bananza and having a blast. Besides that I'm also playing Rune Factory GoA, it's my first time ever playing Rune Factory and it's pretty good.

I'll add this to my backlog, will probably buy it once I get through DK Bananza and Rune Factory GoA

This is recency bias but Bananza is the best DK game by far for me that I've played. I like DK Country since they're classics but to me I always thought it was a step below Mario. Bananza is on par if not better than some 3D Mario games and I've had a blast playing through it.

For me this is a 10, this is the most fun I've had with a game in a long time. So much creativity and it's simply fun to play which is the most important part of any game. The destructive power of DK is a big part of that but I love the interactions between Pauline and DK as well.

The two devices are very different like many people have already noted and aren't direct competitors. The Steam Deck is focused primarily for PC gamers that already have a huge library that want the option to play on the go.

The Switch 2 is a traditional console through and through so of course it's not going to have the same type of customization. You turn it on with very little setup and you're good to go.

Both offer very different experiences but I wouldn't say either or is better.

This is such a fun game, I haven't played much yet but I love messing around and destroying things like a maniac.

After a month with the console I really like it. It's a pretty beefy console for what you get and I'm excited to see how the first party games take advantage of the added power.

The launch itself was pretty solid in my opinion. Especially compared to other console launches in the past.

It's honestly crazy to think kids nowadays won't even know what a CRT TV even is. Some of my best gaming memories were playing games on the big chunky televisions we had in the early 2000s

Honestly as wild as this is this doesn't look bad lol

Weirdly this is one of the few console launches where I didn't have trouble finding a console within the first week of release.

I'm interested in this one. Another Code Recollection I really enjoyed and Hotel Dusk I also really liked. Guess those reports that ex Cing employees working at Arc System Works was true then

It's pretty clear Nintendo wants the main focus to be on DK Bananza, I have no problems with that since it looks amazing. Nintendo is not going to wait mid way through the consoles life span to announce a brand new 3D Mario.

Kit & Krysta I generally like what they say but like with anything take what they say with a grain of salt. They aren't really insiders, they're ex employees that no longer have a clue what's going on inside Nintendo.

@Oldstalk
Ya I always thought the partnership between Atlus and Xbox was weird since the core Xbox audience don't care about JRPGs. The slow commitment to bringing Persona to Nintendo consoles was a dumb decision that I don't understand.
