Wouldn’t it be cool to get a federation force remake with this team instead of the chibi figures?

@Grumblevolcano just curious though, why would you play Metroid Prime 4 switch 1 edition on switch 2?

@Res462 There was a pretty big new update today actually. Nintendolife hasn't reported on it yet, but it's there.

https://mynintendonews.com/2025/12/03/mario-kart-world-version-1-4-0-is-now-available-includes-music-slider-and-more/

@TimelessJubilee Not yet, but in my opinion it is better than Mario Kart 8 was on release back on the Wii U. They'll be working on World for the next years to come, I think with a few DLC also down the line.

@switchvogel Since the switch 1 version has everything on the cartridge, and there’s no upgrade path, could you elaborate a bit more on the differences between switch 1 and 2 versions, please? I understood that next to graphics, also less buildings are allowed in the village section on the switch 1 version, does any of those missing or changed gameplay elements matter much in the long run?

First game i preordered since TotK! (Switch 2 bundle not counted)

Looking oh so forward to it!

@Truegamer79 @ear_wig @wisps @babybilly ah yeah, I see. Yes, original metroid was leaps more difficult than the first Metroid Prime.

@Truegamer79 @ear_wig what are you guys talking about? The first prime game has an in-game map. 3D, turnable, direction prompts, door colors, save and map stations, the whole shabeng? What was missing in your opinion?

@TiMMay333 https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2025/11/welcome-to-the-new-digital-foundry-website

@TiMMay333 because they’re now part of or hired by hookshot media. Same media group as Nintendolife.

@PushMyGran86 50 fps?! Blasphemy. Why not 60 fps? Lazy devs… And if i see ONE popup or frame dip, it’s a no buy for me…

That’s great! I’m getting more and more convinced to get this game someday in the future.

How’s the experience on other platforms though? 😉

@Arawn93 yes, i agree.

I mean, come on, it’s a miracle Aspyr got this game running on switch 1. But there’s no article on that. Who knows how long Aspyr had switch 2 dev kits. They probably delayed the release a bit so that they could release a slightly buffed up switch 2 version with the switch 1 version.

Can one do more? Always. But criticism is so easy from the sideline.

Well now, lets just hope Aspyr takes all this criticism not as a bummer, but as a motivation to improve the switch 2 version.

@Theamazing1 how can i ignore a headline of an article on one of my favorite websites?

I can’t

@Drnsnsr true.

You cant deny though that these kind of reports are a bit of a mood killer

These reports feel to me a bit like the epiphany of that comic where somebody’s shouting: ‘QUIT HAVING FUN!’

Still though, I’d like Aspyr to upgrade the game to a switch 2 game. Good df shows the difference. But still, the reports are a bit of a mood killer.

Of most game series, the best outing was in that age of gaming. Systems had a lot of possibility, but the focus was still mainly on gameplay, not on pixel perfect 4k raytracing fps stuff. Or microtransaction dlc passes stuff.

Loved this game to bits back in the days!

@DashKappei i think 99.5% or more of the games work better on switch 2 than on the original switch. Which is a massive feat for how different the architecture is

Ok, now that this game has its compatibility fixed, every switch 2 backwards compatibility critic can finally rest easy.

Oh dear, as long as they don't close the Pokemon Bank! I still have a shiny celebi to catch! (yes, still...)

Absolutely Europe. The colored buttons and Mario World front and center are just too iconic to beat

The internet is a mental case in and of itself.

Kinda funny though

@Kraven i agree. Handheld makes you feel very immersed.

@MontyCircus @kraven sorry guys, you’re right, I made the error of overlooking Ninja Gaiden 4 and not being consistent about Indiana in my posts.

Still, I think that my point still stands that it’s skewed towards a Playstation award show, and that there’s way too few diversity in the larger categories than what could’ve been done, and this is not the first time I’m noticing that.

Also, metacritic score are just a first metric for being nominated for GotY in particular. Remember Wukong being nominated with a metacritic of 81? That was a choice. Also happened to be a Playstation exclusive (and maybe a way to attract the Chinese audience to the game awards too - i don’t know).

@iLikeUrAttitude October? According to my to do list of work I’m still in May!

@Zeebor15 I see death stranding 2 being shown the most. Geoff doing a classic Geoff move: ‘Goty is 33 obscure but let’s immediately move to a really cool game: death stranding 2!!! Here’s the orchestra for that game! And here’s my buddy Koyima who i’m now going to talk to for 15 mins!’

The last of us ánd Until dawn in best adaptation? Until Dawn has a 4.7 on metacritic, user score of 5.4.

I absolutely believe the Game awards is at least partly rigged by Sony and Geoff. Unbelievable. Games or movies do not have to win, but being nominated is already an advertisement.

@Kraven i’m missing Doom for best audio design, Assassins Creed Shadows for best art direction (visuals - my goodness, did you see that game!), Donkey Kong for best score, the Hundred Line for best narrative. As a start. And just way more diversity in general.

But those categories have the only two playstation published exclusives somehow listed. And most other big categories too.

Indiana is almost completely missing, while that was GotY for a lot of outlets last year but didnt make the cut date for game awards.

@squiddu-real thrown in there as distraction. Sixth entry where almost every other category has 5.

Game Awards are massively Playstation skewed, as always. Bananza not nominated for best score is the proof of that.

When I look at the list its the same 5 or 6 games for every category, which is of course simply shortsighted and very bad journalism. Indiana Jones nowhere to be seen. Almost nothing from Nintendo.

And death stranding two everywhere? Yeah, Koyima and Geoff are buddy buddy and it again shows.

Dare I say this whole award show is rigged? Yes, I do.

But can he say hyaaa, hud and yaaa properly though?

@Prizm ok mate.

Or have faith in Retro Studios because they’ve only developed great games, and masterpieces too.

It’s the first game i’ve preordered since Tears of the Kingdom, and I cant wait!

Looks like a priest tier suit from World of Warcraft.

I think you’ll be able to heal or shield your companions with it. Or mind blast your enemies with your psychic powers. Or glide through the air with (levitate), i mean heavenly wings.

@filthy hard pass? Guess you're not a MP fan then.

Such a lot of bangers. Nintendo is such a gem.

Must have been almost impossible to create this list, and any of the top 25 can move based on personal liking I’d guess.

I’m sure there will be a character jumping on screen while shouting “hello there, lovely people…!”

@Markatron84 the not-really-a-cube-cube

This reminds me btw that I still want a N64 mini, gameboy mini, gameboy advance mini and gamecube mini.

Get to it, Nintendo!

@UpsideDownRowlet agreed, with this machine theres no reason to own a playstation or xbox anymore, since all those games are on steam.

I read the name GabeCube somewhere, which is imo both hilarious and fitting

@TripleJump I think your last sentence was meant to say 'It's honestly insane just how few Switch 1 games don't function normally on Switch 2 despite it being completely different hardware.'

Am i correct?

Level 5 is back to releasing games?

Cant be. They’ll delay it one more time

@liljmoore @shadlink thats peak whataboutism.

Nintendo was a last defender of physical games. People like that stuff. Why arent they allowed to complain about what theyre going to miss?

@liljmoore 4 main reasons what’s wrong with them:

• takes storage on your switch 2
• takes time to download
• you will need the card inserted
• two things that can break: the card or the server. When either of these two fails it will leave you without the ability to play the game.

@Zuljaras aw man, now that you mention it, I’d LOVE a turd with the Pokemon logo on it and would instantly buy one if they announce it

@Pillowpants well, you’ve answered your own question there! In those 500+ hours you’ve spent on the Binding of Isaac you could have started your 3d or 4th TotK playthrough 😜

@fiskern beat me to it

@Morsel according to this new website, it is consistent with Nintendo Switch and therefore has been fixed.

@Charlirnie maybe she’ll have it if you complete the game 100% within 3 hours.

The images you unlock also unlock some teenage horniness, so maybe they’ve now included a tagline too. Who knows?!

@alanahagues thank you for the read! Very insightful. I’m so looking forward to this game, and kicking alien’s butt with Nintendo’s coolest character

@LazyDaisy well, imo it has changed with Fire Emblem Heroes and Engage (and a bit with Tokyo Mirage Sessions, though that’s a spinoff).

I don’t like how the cool and thought provoking Fire Emblem series is turning into anime or waifu gotcha games.

Says me with a Lyn avatar. But that character was mainly a cool one, not a waifu. An example 😊

Now they’re butchering her into a centaur and shadow figure and whatnot. I don’t get the series anymore…
