I got my copy of TR DE from them recently. They did a really good job with this. If anybody missed out but is still interested, it's a nice addition to the collection.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. For the next two or so weeks I probably won't be playing much else, except maybe some short bursts of Mario Kart World. I want to give OoT the attention is deserves.
I liked Black Ops 6 campaign but didn't bother with last year's CoD. This one seems cool and I'm happy to read the Switch 2 version is good but since I have the option I think I might get it for the Xbox Series X.
Switch 2 - Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, Resident Evil 2, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Switch Sports Resort
Xbox Series X - Gears of War E-Day
More games than I've had in my rotation in a while. Own both RE 2 and CotW on PS5 but double dipped on NS2 because both games are awesome. Very happy with how the ports turned out. The NS2 hardware and the way some Japanese devs have used it continues to impress.
Plays pretty well on the Switch 2. Not my favorite Castlevania but I've enjoyed it enough so far after about 5 or so hours. Seems like a solid 7/10 type game. Didn't really have the highest expectations and while I like Castlevania, I'm also not a hardcore fan, so there's certain things that probably don't bother me as much as they do others.
@anoyonmus Haven't played the other remakes yet, waiting for the physical versions, but 2 is definitely a stellar port. Based on the games I've played, Capcom's devs seem to know the Switch 2 hardware as well as anybody, including Nintendo's own staff.
Had to buy this day one and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. Certainly some compromises compared to the PS5 port but holds up well next to the PS4 version. Having a native version of this on a Nintendo system just seems right. The N64 version of RE 2 is the first in the series I ever owned and played to completion, still stands as my all-time favorite video game.
I'm doing another playthrough (probably done over 20 by now) in anticipation of Ravenous and, yeah, a small, free update or even a $5 'Metroid Dread - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' would be cool.
It's not my favorite video game movie adaptation ever, or my favorite live action RE (that still goes to the first Jovovich outing from 2002) but I did enjoy this for what it is. It's funny that the most lore accurate of all the live action films is easily the worst one.
Never played this one so I'm looking forward to changing that. Back in the GC days I was hyped for a Star Fox but this wasn't exactly what I was looking for so I skipped it initially, then never got around to trying it.
@rvcolem1 Not the best Star Fox game, but I definitely had some fun with Assault and would also love to see it on NSO at some point. As
Was able to get the Link and Zelda Amiibos for OoT but was shut out on the Pro Controller as well as all this cool Metroid stuff. Hope the Ravenous Special Edition will get a supply drop on NoA's website or GameStop will be able to take pre-orders. Metroid is my favorite Nintendo series of all-time so I'd love to get some of these fun items.
@1UP-HUSKY I bought SF 6, the RE Generation Pack and Pragmata all on GKC and I plan to get RE Veronica on NS2 as well. I'm not against GKC but yeah, I really hope in the future Nintendo will come up with a way to encourage more third parties putting games fully on the card.
@wooferjones That's fair. For games I'm really hyped about I always try to get them day one but nothing wrong with waiting to save some $.
@RiasGremory For sure. I definitely would rather GKC than digital only or, the one I think is worst of all, code in a box. But if more of these companies won't put games fully on the card, it'd be nice for Nintendo and others to create affordable 2TB-4TB storage cards. I have a 1TB and it's already more than half used up.
What a year for Capcom. One thing I do wonder, how much of a difference it would make for the Switch 2 version's sales if these games were fully on the card and not GKCs?
I don't care about James Gunn not being involved but if Suda 51 isn't, it hurts my interest quite a bit. Doesn't mean I wouldn't try a demo if one is offered, or buy the game for the right price, but expectations should be tempered.
Splatoon Raiders. Been looking forward to a single player-focused Splatoon and the game is definitely delivering so far. Also will try to work some Star Fox into the mix.
Awesome, most of my Castlevania experience is on Nintendo platforms so this is the version I had pre-ordered. Hopefully down the line there's an upgrade to a NS2 version but for now this will do.
@LEGEND_MARIOID Agree. I might be in the minority of PlayStation fans who say this, but if Sony goes the hybrid route, I'm all for it. I love what Nintendo has done with Switch 1 and 2.
Maybe it's nostalgia but an easy 10/10 for me. The gameplay is still as fun as it was an 1997 enhanced by awesome graphics and the haptics from the NS2 Pro Controller. The soundtrack is even better now and the sound effects are terrific. Only minor complaint is the voice acting. I don't think it's as bad as some others do but it is very hit or miss. Overall, it's nice to have Star Fox back and hopefully even bigger things await.
Focusing strictly on Star Fox for Switch 2. Already completed a couple playthroughs and started another. It's awesome, great to have Star Fox back even if it is a remake. Hopefully the start of something even more.
Voice acting (which can be hit or miss) aside, I love this remake, hits all the right notes for me just like Metroid Prime Remastered did. Of course, I've always been a fan of Star Fox 64, bought it day one and it basically was my summer in 1997. I see the same happening here, really enjoy the expanded cut scenes, the orchestrated music and it feels as good as ever to play. Damn near perfect gaming comfort food.
Pre-ordered the game not long after announcement despite not loving the character designs. I got used to those, though, and the demo sold me on the game playing as well as ever, looking forward to getting my copy in a few hours.
I'm a bit disappointed it's only 30 fps but other than that, this game is an easy recommendation. Played it on both Xbox One and PS4, it's by far the best entry in the survivor trilogy and a great game general. I'd say give it a shot even if you're not a Tomb Raider fan. You may miss some references but it can be played and enjoyed as a standalone experience as well.
The best of the survivor trilogy, not even close really and I'm a fan of the first as well, so much that I bought it 3 times (360, PS4, Switch 2). Definitely recommend this to anybody, Tomb Raider fan or not, it's just a fun adventure game.
I'm going to buy eventhough I already own it for PS5, it's a great game, one of my favorites of the last few years. Hoping for a normal game card release not a key card but getting it regardless. Might go digital if it's a GKC because there's no way I'd consider trading this in but I'll support true physical any chance I get, especially on NS2.
Solid 7/10, happy I bought it. Third party support, especially Capcom, has been great. The new first party games haven't been as good as I'd like outside of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza but that will improve over time. Backwards compatibility is really well done and I appreciate the addition of Gamecube games to the NSO library.
Code Veronica is one of my favorite games of all-time, so this is a day one. Hopefully Capcom will bring the other remakes over to Switch 2 natively at some point also.
That's all well and good, but I love experimental Capcom as well and am hoping the success of Pragmata leads to some more new IPs with interesting gameplay hooks.
