Why do the people with top 0.1% income need more and more money?

So Nintendo continues the trend of releasing a Mario sports game every summer this way.

It is my gripe with the game. The intermission races are not as fun as just driving on the track. It feels like a slog to just go from a to b

Come ON! Give me those last two remaining kirby themes…. It’s been a hundred years and in the mean time, link has already been sealed and woken up again….

This’ll be a great addition, I’m sure! Would be especially great if they make a 3d party exclusive room or corner, for all art from games such as Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, etc

@BTB20 snipperclips wasn’t first party developed, so no.

But yeah, small games at launch that mainly show the new use case of the system feel to me they should be pack in to get people talking and excited, functioning as a commercial (wii sports). Here, the amount of people that will buy it will be very, very limited.

I feel like this should have been a pack in too. Just like the welcome tour…

I’m happy to be oblivious on this kind of stuff.

It would worsen my day.

I want them to market this game GOOOOOOD! Please succeed mp4

There’s no need to buy the game directly if it’s a game key card. I’ll buy the games digitally once they go on sale.

In the mean time, if they put the game complete on a cartridge, even through limited releases, i’ll reward them for it.

The lore is odd, but the gameplay seemingly rocks!

@The_Nintend_Pedant he still rolls and throws, he just has extra movesets. I’m sure there’s a level where he gets to throw barrels, especially in the 2D sections.

To y’all, since when is DK lore a thing?

It went down the toilet when DK Jr disappeared.

@BenAV you’re not playing your switch 1 backlog on your switch 2?

I’d recommend it!

One of the few 3d party Playstation console exclusives that interest me this gen. Together with Demon’s Souls, Final Fantasy VII and XVI and Silent Hills 2. But most of these are already on their way.

What’s wrong with Square Enix these days? They’re not doing their fans as much service as they can. Their final fantasy pixel remaster was also missing the added content of the gba versions….

This game doesn’t feel like my thing. Too sandboxy for my taste, and it doesn’t feel like a challenge at all. Just some random destruction derby action without a clear direction.

I hope to be surprised tomorrow!

Well f…. Got to check my save files once i’m home…..

@DashKappei it does output 4k docked. 1080p is handheld performance.

With everything on a cardridge this is a must buy for everyone (mature people that is) who hasn’t experienced it elsewhere yet.

@citizenerased that’s ok, but i don’t think you can say that the performance is better on one compared to the other.

@citizenerased there’s other aspects than fps. Does steam deck present this game in 4k hdr on a screen for instance? Switch 2 does.

@Anti-Matter ok, up to you of course.

Police Simulator Patrol Officers is also available on Switch btw.

@Anti-Matter so you agree then that sony isn’t doing anything for you (just ratchet and clank) and that buying a playstation 5 is a waste if you already have a switch 2

@Anti-Matter it’s not sony doing that. It’s the publishers. All of those games are on pc and pc handhelds. Most of those games are on Switch too, at least all the ones you’ve now mentioned.

@Ogbert 100% agree. Sony and playstation are doing nothing more than money grabbing this generation. It’s working for them because Xbox has had problems with their weird marketing strategies over the years, but xbox is doing a lot more right for consumers than sony these days.

Especially with their play anywhere and game pass strategies. I think Sony will never do that and will always try to leverage money from you multiple times per game (playstation, pc, subscription service).

Remember Sony increasing the price of their controllers with 5-10 dollar because concord flopped?

@Member_the_game nah, I think that’s a gaming bubble you’re in. Most people just have one system and they stick to it. Most people also just play one or two games per year: just the yearly fifa, call of duty, madden or just mario kart and party.

Doom and Witcher III are the ones I’ve tested, and I can confirm that the impossible ports even got a lot better!

VRR function availability >> oled

@jojobar because playstation is marketed heavily during football matches (especially before a champions league match), and it’s the main sport in the country.

Good, the more competition, the better!

Great! That’s two less on the list of Nintendo. Hope that Nintendo has vivid completionists working for them, so that one pdf of games with issues is empty at the end of the year.

I so love Nintendo for doing stuff like this. They know their audience

@olliemar28 do you know if the quirky alternative gamecube startup sounds are also present / unlockable somehow? I’ll try tonight once I get home to get to those

@Liam_Doolan quite a lot actually! they’ve completed the list with what needs investigation and what is working (dark blue), a new update was released on the 6th of June, following the update on the 27th of May.

@Liam_Doolan Nintendo has updated their list with compatible games, btw. Don’t think ive seen it mentioned yet on Nintendolife:

I’ve experienced a nuisance with the new joy con controllers, something that bugs me slightly. And it’s the size or positioning of the analoge stick on the right joy con. It was difficult for me to do the grab in soul calibur two, which requires the B and Y. The analoge stick prevented me from doing so easily, it was in the way.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

Was a bit surprised seeing my battery drained this morning to 83% while being on standby. Definitely hope that that will get patched out somehow, because it’s a shame to have to check and charge your battery every time you want to quickly take it with you on daily commute for instance.

We seem to be getting lots of 8-10’s, with everything being a looker. Hope we’ll get massive 3d party support this gen, i love my handheld systems and this one is the first that’s on par with last/current gen.

Yeah, this is what the Switch 2 should be all about, bridging the gap with current gen. So many gems to look forward to that I just didn’t get around to play yet.

A capable handheld will definitely help with that.

@dartmonkey awesome, thank you! 😊

@dartmonkey hi Gavin, thanks for the list! Are you planning to try to keep this one updated? Or is it just for the launch games / launch window? Wondering whether to bookmark the site

Hey, some crazy people like Marmite, so I’m sure some person in the world will spread some Switch 2 cartridges on their bread.

So many new games on Switch 2 to preview / review, including technical marvels, but we’re stuck with previews about framerate improvements of a pokemon game…..

@Hero-of-WiiU it is in New Zealand, and almost in Japan (mid night release is a thing there).

@R_Ryder never thought of that, solid comment, tnx.

@tourjeff it will still work

Switch 2, mario kart, cyberpunk 2077, shinobi, No sleep for Kaname Date, Saga Frontier 2 remastered and maybe Lord of the Rings to play with my daughter if it’s any good.

And a bunch of switch 2 games on my wishlist to track whether they get actual physical releases or a very, very deep discount. There’s no need to rush those games.

I hope to become slightly less depressed, which would be an achievement in and of itself already.

Just a new system / friend to spend the hours with…

@Cremia for my understanding, you’re referring to Eternatus, right?

@PikminMarioKirby actually, I think the legends game was good, but also Sword and Shield i think is better than perceived. Sure, it has some low textured areas, and a very bad story (imho) and not the best pokemon designs, and therefore it might have been a disappointment for the first home console outing of Pokémon.

But I’m now wrapping up the pokedex and when playing through the game, and especially the DLC, i really like the focused approach this game has. There are no weird distractions, it’s just a neat adventure. Heck, I even like the routes way more than the open areas of Scarlet Violet.

So yeah, Gamefreak has a sloppy track record as of late, but imo it’s mainly due to Scarlet and Violet, which is at the very least a technical disaster. (Even though some people are also really enjoying that game)

@PikminMarioKirby you can wait until it is released though before being negative.

Btw, i’ve given loads of criticism on scarlet and violet on this website. That game is so, so bad imo, both design wise (empty sandbox)!ánd technical wise (bugs, tedious menu systems, etc etc).

So i’m not preordering, but I’m hoping that the Legends game will be at least as good as the last Legends game, which I really enjoyed!
