Played it when it came out on Series S. I would've considered double dipping for a true physical copy, but I'll pass on this.

Everything looks the same. Wake me up when a new Rogue Galaxy is announced.

The comments have convinced me to keep an eye on it, despite the art not being my thing.

I will probably check out Amnesia Rebirth. The first two Amnesia games were great though I've heard mix opinions on this one. Still, if the price is right I'll get it a shot.

I'd be interested to see some footage with the Big Heads cheat code turned off.

@Polvasti this is not the best NL list I've come across.

Xenoblade, Xenoblade 2, Xenoblade 3, and Metroid Prime 4 are all missing.

I'm guessing it will underperform the first movie pretty substantially at the box office. I took the family to the first one, but will probably wait for this one when it's available for streaming.

Sounds like they should just recast her and move on. It's a shame but gotta do what you gotta do.

Okay, now how about a new Star Fox game?

I played all the classic resident evil games up through RE4. Do I play RE5 and 6 next, some of the spinoffs, or go right to 7? 7 gives me a texas chainsaw massacre kinda vibe from what little I've seen which I'm not a huge fan of, but I could be totally off as I really don't know much about it.

I picked none. Though I suppose their degree of terribleness varies slightly, I couldn't bring myself to vote for one of them

Seems like this should have been a selling point at launch. A missed opportunity for sure.

Fantastic game. Apparently on my 60 hour playthrough I failed the first Phantom Liberty mission so missed basically that entire expansion, though I did gigs and the like in Dog Town. Might go back some day to check out that expansions main story, but need to start working on some other games first.

I played this on Series S, so probably won't double dip, but I'm pretty sure that version was running at a mostly stable 60 fps.

I didn't know this game even had a physical release. I've never played it but would be interested in a physical cart. It's been on my wishlist forever.

I put 100 hours into Fallout 3, enjoyed it, beat it, and have not been compelled to return this series since. I guess Ive had my fill.

@Moistnado in US it is 25 bucks for 4K or 18 for 1080p.

@Moistnado doesn't netflix charge for higher resolutions though?

Related articles on this very page include "X shines on Switch 2" and "Mira even more magnificent on Switch 2." Do I need to wait until the obligatory clickbait article from the "completely independent" Digital Foundry or should I just believe my eyes?

Anyone that would buy Dark Ages for 70 bones is nuts. The Doom games regularly go on sale and I'm guessing it would be 39.99 at some point no too long after release.

NitendoLife Community: if it's not 4K 60FPS it is utter trash undeserving of our time. Also Nintendo Life Community: We will not pay 5 dollars for such a pathetic upgrade.

Nintendo is on fire lately. They should just announce the price increase now for Switch 2 so they can keep their streak going.

Think I might pick this up on Switch 1 because I hear that version comes with the game.

FFVII remake better than the original? I think not.

The Wii U ports to Switch worked because nobody had a Wii U. Switch was one of the best selling consoles ever, so releasing marginal updates to years old games isn't going to cut it.

Would gladly pay a premium price for a true physical copy. As is, will wait for a steep discount on the eshop.

Every Metroidvania is "overly familiar", it's like a hallmark of the genre. These games are about how much you like the skin, the overall quality of the level designs, and the progression system. I personally never cared for HKs progression system and judging by how many people have actually beat those games, I suspect a lot of players feel the same.

I play Cyber Punk on the low frame rate setting. It takes your eyes less than an hour to get used to the lower frame rate if you're coming from a game with higher FPS, and the world just looks better with the additional quality.

Who was buying this game last year?

Looks like above average cosplay.

She'd be really good at hitchhiking.

So many issues with the Switch 2 launch. Of the three heavy hitters (Mario kart, Metroid, donkey Kong), only one was really great. No traditional Mario or Zelda game at launch. Hardware that really lacks a wow factor, and for me most of all, the game key card debacle. When I say wow factor on the hardware, I'm referring to it doing really nothing new. From an actual hardware/processing power/GPU perspective, it's pretty clear it's still going to have the inferior versions of all third party games.

Edit: 79.99 games was a horrible way to launch the console.

Switch 1 physical > Switch 2 GKC

The physical trilogy was on sale before the holidays for around 20 bucks. I wish I grabbed it if only for the Turok 2 soundtrack.

A lot of game key cards on this list I won't be purchasing.

@Rhaoulos I think it's time for Nintendo to give their characters a voice. It really hurts the story in modern games when the main character has no personality or character development. I mean is Link just going to stare blankly at everyone in the upcoming Zelda movie?

How many games has Retro Studios made? Is it just the Prime games and modern DKC games?

Cyber Punk 2077 physical edition for life. Need to support the devs who release real cartridges.

A port of the first Nier would be nice. Reading this article I've come to realize how little I care about Final Fantasy anymore. I'm not terribly excited for the 7 remakes and haven't even considered playing 16 at this point.

I haven't played a Level 5 game since Rogue Galaxy and it looks like I will continue to avoid them.

Imagine Metroid with an interwoven world like the original dark souls. That's what I would want in Metroid level design, with the traditional abilities unlock new areas and secrets thrown in.

The logo looks like something that won a middle school graphic design contest.

I'm not a fan of AI creating artwork.

Titanfall and Apex Legends are both fantastic games. RIP, very sad.

@sketchturner Dark Souls 1 is the only one anyone cares about. A classic and master class in level design. From Soft hasn't hit that high since.

Game are fantastic but practically unplayable with the low poly count hair.

Donkey Kong Bonanza is the best game I played this year that wasn't a rerelease or upgrade. Kind of a weak year for Switch releases. Given how much of the Switch library has been Wii U ports and remasters, the lack of new original content this year is pretty disappointing. Of course if Mario Kart World and Metroid Prime 4 are 10s instead of 8s perhaps I feel differently.

Perhaps you should review the game with the day 1 patch since that's how the public will actually play it. That being said, performance issues are so overblown most the time. I was just reading up on the Turok trilogy remake, and just for fun went back and watched some of the N64 videos of the game. Amazing fun at low frame rates. Having just played the SS2 remake, this is not doom. The slow methodical pace of the game should minimize the impact of the performance issues from a gameplay standpoint.

@mackers84 Capcom was able to compress a two disc PS1 game (resident evil 2) onto an N64 cart back in the day. I'm sure compression will have some impact but 64GB is still plenty of space for most games. FF7 remake being a GKC really has me debating just passing on it.
