@Oyaji_Music in my opinion these miniscule updates are worth maybe $5 at most. I guess if you really want to replay any of these games it may be worth it to you. But the gameplay never changes, and most people don’t care or even notice tiny frame rate or resolution changes once they get into a game
I really dislike this era we are in with “Switch 2 Version” of games that are only a few years old. The box art looks ugly with all the text at the bottom and it’s all so confusing what you get on the cart vs have to download. Hopefully this only continues for a little while longer and they get back to releasing NEW games
I always play games with all default settings. Only things I may adjust is sound settings (I usually turn up music volume and turn down all other things like dialogue/sound effects)
Of course they are. AI can’t even accurately pool data yet. It was hilarious how every podcast a couple years ago hyped AI and said it would take over the world by now. True AI still doesn’t even exist and likely never will.
Good. Get it right. I don’t want to buy any other consoles and this is the only game I really want to play that’s not on Switch. AstroBot is the only other one but I don’t see any way that ever comes to Switch.
The Super Mario 3 one sold out I see. I’d probably get the SM2 one or the Pikmin shoe fidgets. Not to put on shoes, I don’t own any fidget loafers. But looks like the best bang for your buck to have 3 rubber Pikmin figures
Most things are better with an Indika. This looks especially true. Need more games like this. Hate that almost every video game falls into the same boring tropes of science fiction
If they felt this way we should all be thankful they made this decision. We should all encourage game makers to release finished products on Day 1. It’s a terrible new reality but it wasn’t that way for 30 years of video games so it doesn’t need to be a standard (releasing “unfinished” games)
Not a huge fan of the Mario case. DK one is nice but I usually get Mario-themed cases if not just plain black. I have a glow in the dark, neon green mushroom case for switch. Still glows well!
To me it seemed like Reggie was an actual gamer and Bowser a very casual gamer at best. I do think probably that the head of NoA has little say compared to Japan, but we know that Reggie had enough pull (and smarts) to demand WiiSports be a pack-in. Helped save Nintendo. And America is obviously the largest market. Many things lately have given me pause for the first time as a Nintendo fan.
I think the biggest thing yet to give me pause is not the higher prices, but the lack of “Nintendo extra quality/polish/detail” to go with those price increases. I’ll pay extra for the Nintendo Seal if it continues to mean what it always did
Not big into sports games but I appreciate the effort. I think this takes Nintendo and sports games from “I would never play a sports game on Switch” to “I would play a sports game on Switch if I didn’t own any other console”
But I do think it would be more “Nintendo” if they would sacrifice some graphics for better performance. I’ve always liked Nintendo the best because they prioritize gameplay and physics over graphics
I’ve played around 50 of the highest ranked games on Switch. Undertale is the only one that really disappointed me. Earthbound is one of my favorite games so I feel like I “got” what it was going for. But I just don’t get the hype at all.
I’m mostly interested to see how the pointer controls work
Collecting star bits and controlling yoshi’s tongue requires a good pointer. If you watch the trailer the pointer is often inactive and not collecting star bits. That is concerning to me. Whenever I want to replay a Galaxy game I do it on my WiiU
They could charge $500 for physical collector bundles and they would all sell out instantly.
At first I thought they are leaving lots of money on table with no physical option and cheap price point. But actually they are going to have a lot of people immediately buy digital, then also buy physical down the road. So it’s not a bad strategy
Great game but I’ve already played it. Wish they would stop wasting time and resources providing tiny graphical updates to games that are only a few years old
The Sakurai comment is funny. I’ve thought the same thing for years. Like people think he is the only guy in the world that works hard. They all have massive teams doing most of the work nowadays

Is it just me or does $3.50 actually seem kind of expensive for the time?

Re: Surprise! Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Arrives Next Year
This is getting ridiculous. Nintendo isn’t winning any new fans or expanding its base by adding tiny little updates to games released a few years ago
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Nintendo's Cheapest Switch 2 Edition Yet
I can’t wait until they are done with absolutely worthless “switch 2 updates” to games released 5 or less years ago
Just make new games
