@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT I don't think it will be the last big release on the Switch, but I do think it will be the last Switch exclusive that Nintendo releases.
@KayFiOS No, I agree with you. I just wasn't sure if you were complaining that the game is monetized (which should be expected) or how egregious the monetization is.
Unimpressively, even though the game is on the cart, it still requires almost 17GB of storage space. Considering the full game download is almost 25GB, I definitely think they could've done better.
@Dman10 It's only winning in console sales in the US. This is not the case worldwide. Plenty of Switch owners are purchasing 3rd party games all over the globe.
@Haruki_NLI I don't think you can make that assumption from the data provided. The game is 4th & 6th on the Switch 2 charts & there's no way for us to know where it would fall if those 2 were combined.
@kmtrain83 @RiasGremory I get what you're both saying & I understand that was the reason, but if they're primary concern was selling the most consoles, we all know they easily could have eaten the cost to ship more units.
@kmtrain83 I doubt it. If Nintendo cared about having the best-selling console of all-time, they wouldn't have raised the price of all 3 versions of the Switch last year. It's obviously not a concern for them.
@SuperEndriu You expect the game to just magically show up in January's numbers even though it came out in February? Maybe use a little sense before you comment next time.
Virtual console's not coming back, but you better believe that once these games murder the charts, there will eventually be more. And I'm not saying this as a bad thing. It's just what it is. People get so upset about this kind of stuff. Gaming is a business. It's a hobby. It's not your right or privilege. You don't need it to live. They'll charge what they want for it & that's fine. If I'm interested enough, I'll buy & if I'm not, I won't. Pretty simple.
I find this really disappointing as an anniversary collection for the series. Instead of multiple variations of the same game, it would have been nice to have an HD Definitive version of Rayman & then remasters of Rayman 2 & 3. I just don't understand why Ubisoft seems so averse to 3D Rayman.
This is super exciting. I had a Dreamcast & then a GameCube back in the day, so I only ever got to play the first Soul Reaver since the second was canceled after the Dreamcast was discontinued. It's still one of my favorite games to this day, so I was ecstatic when the Remaster of both 1 & 2 came out. Now I'll be able to complete the trilogy.
@8bitKirby Not everyone wants to have multiples of the same color controller laying around. To say it's stupid would be to say it's stupid to ever release a different controller colorway.
@SBandy1 You said "in no world should this be a 60 quid game". My point is simply that Nintendo is only charging how much people are willing to pay. This game will sell millions, so while you might think it shouldn't cost that much, obviously the demand is there.
@SBandy1 @Sindayl The budget for something doesn't determine how much it will cost. How much people are willing to pay for it does. You might not like it, but that's simply Business 101. We all know this game will sell millions at its price, so Nintendo has no reason to sell it cheaper.
@Anti-Matter Not quite. The specific verbiage they used was that Nintendo developed games would not use a key card. This game is developed Omega Force under Koei Tecmo. The devil is in the details.
@Craigsouthern This is amongst the craziest things I've ever heard. You're skipping a game you want because of optional features that you never have to even look at? Unhinged.
@SpaceboyScreams I don't think it sounds dumb. I was originally going to do the same thing, but I caved when I saw how great the Remake port turned out. Your reasoning is still valid when you also consider that there was no last gen version of Rebirth.
@JohnnyMind @Kiz3000 It didn't sound right to me at first either, but from what I understand there's no physical version on X-Box, so it wouldn't chart. Also, while I'm sure the PS5 version of Remake had some sales, it's very possible that it was less than .5% of the total (the game is 4.5 years old after all), meaning they would just round it down to zero. When you consider those things, it's very plausible.
@somnambulance 19 days into the year & you're already complaining about a slow start? This is exactly what they mean when they say you can't please everyone all the time.

Arrived at my house a few hours ago. I'll be there in about an hour to play it.

If a physical copy comes out, I'll give this some serious consideration.

Re: Mario Tennis Fever Takes Out Top Spot In February 2026 Nintendo Charts (US)
@ThaBEN Considering it came out in March, it would be quite difficult for it to chart in February.

@AllBLK Good comeback. You're right. Let me get out of my feelings. Good call.
Re: Reminder: Switch 2's New Joy-Con Set Is Out This Week
@AllBLK It's a waste of money to buy a second pair of joy cons, especially if your family shares a console? If anything, your comment is the waste.

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Switch 2 New Pre-Order Bonus Revealed (US)
