@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.

@mackers84 most games should be able to fit on a 64 GB cart with effort.

@electrolite77 that's kind of my point. Offer different options with different prices. Make consumers that want physical carts pay for the extra money it costs to produce them. Its important for me so I'm willing to pay for it. You're happy with GKC or digital and that's perfectly fine. The more options the better

That's fine for the smaller studios, but particular for bigger studios, the simple answer is to offer full physical game cards at a premium price. I'd be willing to pay 10 to 20 dollars more for physical if that's the cost to produce it. Logically, physical games should cost more than their digital counterparts.

System Shock 2 remake is fantastic. How can I get a physical of the SS1 cartridge?

@canaryfarmer and number 2 on the list can't a hold a candle to the console games but is ranked higher than all of the.

The teaser trailers looked nothing like the first BGE, so I was never interested in this project. Probably best it never sees the light of day.

This game is a classic. Hope they bring the rest of the trilogy to Switch 2 as I never played the second or third games.

My favorite is probably Chrono Trigger but can't really argue with Super Mario World. It's still possibly the greatest 2D platformer ever made. Also, I preferred Secret of Evermore to Secret of Mana. I found the story and world much more interesting.

Looks like above average cosplay.

Played the first 2 and they were both great. I have all of them on my wishlist but the sales never seem to be that great.

Oh good, maybe I'll get my 47th year of free credit monitoring for my personal information being compromised.

I'm picking neither this week. They're both ugly.

I didn't know there was a new Layers of Fear game? I enjoyed the first one but never played the second. If it's a remake of the first, I don't really feel compelled to play it again, but if it's something newer I'd be interested.

NA box art is outstanding. Any idea how to find out who is credited with the drawing?

@Ogbert people seem to selectively care about killing the planet, unfortunately.

AI is useful as a more efficient Internet search, but you have to realize it's not always correct so you can't take the output as gospel. I think most people will reject AI movies and AI replacing artists. I bet something will just feel off about fully AI produced shows and movies.

Switch physical with upgrade pack is the obvious way to go.
