Well, there’s a lot of cover ups currently in the works in the US. This is just one of them.

Another western weekly switch 2 upgrade patch. Keep m coming! I hope witcher III is next.

So, what does not come to switch 2 that was announced? Not much, right? Very different from previous years tbh, where switch 1 was left out quite a lot.

Also, that Larian’s new game trailer - divinity, have to say it somewhere, it actually almost made me vomit. Pretty disgusting trailer, made me turn away from that game. Am I the only one?

Rayman was in that leak, right?

What is still missing from that leak?

@tanaka2687 for free if you have the original anni edition

Weekly port and/or upgrade pack from now on it seems! 2 weeks ago we had tomb raider, last week red dead redemption, now skyrim. Next week the witcher?

@andykara2003 if there’s a game and franchise that does respect your time, it’s Metroid. And then Mario.

Physical sales figures mean less and less, unfortunately.

Shadow drops incoming! Nintendo classics, indie direct or during the game awards…

Since games run 60 fps instead of 30 fps now, i’m able to finish games twice as fast.

That’s how it works, right?

An 8 for great! What a series, almost everything scores so high...

And now that they have a great engine to work on, and a great group of talented 3D artists and designers, I'm very positive Retro will be able to create an excellent or masterful metroid prime 5 again.

Can't wait to start playing it tonight

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.

@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.
