Ahhh, Jak and Daxter, takes me back to when Naughty made good games.

Actually quite like the retro look. Very interested in this.

Cloud jumping out of the airship fortnite style... Yuck. Does he do that in the second one too?

Probably about a 5... Bonanza, to me, is the closest thing to a "must have" on the console. Metroid Prime 4 was solid and third party support has been pretty good. But I tend not to include multiplatform games when rating the system, so it's very much a reflection of Nintendos somewhat lackluster software output.

This will be my first soccer game in 20 years.

Funny how reviewers almost universally accept performance issues for some games while docking review scores heavily for other games with similar issues. Wonder why that would be.

I will probably pick it up at some point. Either an eShop sale or even the physical release. Sounds good and I liked Shovel Knight enough. I'm a little skeptical of the praise but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Maybe I don't remember accurately, but Banjo Kazooie which came out years earlier had much better graphics.

60 bucks for a 90s schmup is outrageous.

Outside of Bonanza, lackluster is a pretty good description of Switch 2 first party so far.

Tales series is the epitomy of 7/10 solid games. Unfortunately I'm just too old and don't have time for "just" solid games anymore.

I will probably get this. I didn't play the demo but assumed it was more like SoM than Zelda, but I'm down for either.

@Danrenfroe2016 yes but can outside do 120fps 4k?

I played Elden Ring on a Series S years ago and performance was very solid. If S2 is in the ballpark of Series S from a hardware standpoint, I'm not sure what the issue is (though my sense is Series S is either slightly more powerful or just easier to develop for, based on games I've played on each). All that said, Elden Ring is a game that starts out amazing and then the quality slips a bit the further you go. Still great, but not the pinnacle that was the original Dark Souls. Dusk Bloods could be cool but I don't know enough about it.

They could not have made Bond look more generic, so may as well throw some branded accessories on him.

Every direct seems like a disappointment because games X, Y, and Z weren't announced or revealed. If a piece of news drops unexpectedly, I'm surprised and delighted. When they announce a big reveal and it's not what I wanted, I'm disappointed. I can see why they'd prefer a steady drip of information over the Direct format.

Madden 64 was the last good Madden game.

I'd rather they bring over 11, which was and remains much better than 14.

I picked up an OG Switch copy a month or so ago with plans to upgrade to the S2 version digitally when I'm ready to start it. I just wrapped up Metroid Prime 4 last night so will likely start X up this week. The negativity surrounding Prime 4 was overblown so I assume the same is true for X's graphics on S2.

I need to see Slippy Toad in 4K.

Is link talking in this film?

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.
