Two collections with DLC add-ons doesn't really make sense. Maybe if one was 80's and the other was 90's...but just arbitrarily splitting up really old games just looks like a cash grab.
I'm afraid we'll see more of this under MS. They buy alot of Devs who just go on autopilot and then disappear. Blank checks don't result in good management and finished games. Look at 343, massive teams often lead to long development cycles and curiously unfinished games. It's almost like no one cares, because every game just gets dumped out on the GamePass feeding trough anyway.
This game is going to shine a light on the limitations of gyro controls. The Wii senor bar with Motion Plus did this kind of game better. Due to the fast-paced action on screen, using a Pro Controller may not be very satisfying.

Re: Review: Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac (Switch 2) - Short, Sweet, Prettified, And Not For Everyone
Stuttering on the 1st game is pretty bad due to the all the side scrolling.
They need to update the 1st game to be unlocked FPS in Graphics mode.
This would allow the 1st game to run at 1080p/60 on Switch 2.
2nd game seems to run pretty well in Graphics mode already (Switch 1 version).
Re: Shadow Labyrinth Patch Version 1.0.4 Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Just saw the patch install today....
But why does the game still boot so slow?!
Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"
Just to clarify, the Switch with the most playtime (aka battery life) is the OLED.
OLED screens don't have a backlight (like LCDs), which saves power...
From what I recall, Switch OLED only costed a few dollars more (in parts) per reporting.
So Nintendo really should have done the right thing and used an OLED from the start....
They aren't much more expensive (at part level), would extend battery life, and look better.
But sadly, Nintendo wants you to buy another system in three years to get those benefits.
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
Apparently, people expect their cartridges to have Games on them!
What a load of nonsense!
Re: Looks Like 'Bravely Default' On Switch 2 Will Still Have 0% Encounter Toggle
I want to buy this game physically on Switch 1 (with full game on cart).
Why is a 3DS remaster being pushed to Switch 2 (with lifeless game keys)?
I thought Square Enix had learned its lesson with abusing exclusivity over sales?
Re: Review: Lunar Remastered Collection (Switch) - Two Of The Most Charming RPGs Ever Get A Fair, If Flawed, Port
$60 seems high, unless it's physical with some collectible extras.
For digital, this would need to get down alot further for me.
Re: Zelda: BOTW Switch 2 Edition Won't Include The DLC, Nintendo Confirms
So what does that bring the total price up to...$100 for BotW S2 +DLC?
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Weighs In On 'Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Controversy (Sort Of)
We need to brutally troll Nintendo by voting this 'Game of the Year' later on....
Nintendo needs to mocked for this shameless greed & disrespect for it's customers.
Re: Random: Of Course Nintendo Fans Are Already Camping Out For The Switch 2
When you live on the street for 2 months, isn't that technically homelessness?
Next thing you know, this guy will be drinking out of a bag and talking to himself.
Re: Upgrade Pack Price For Zelda: BOTW And TOTK Has Been Confirmed
After paying $70 for TotK, I feel like this should on the 'free' list.
Re: Nintendo Confirms US Price For 'Switch 2 Welcome Tour'
Delusional. Terrible PR. Completely tone deaf.
World is imploding and Nintendo wants to charge for a system tutorial.
They should be more concerned that most can't afford their console or games.
Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
Nintendo was already screwed by greed and now hated by it's previous fans.
But now with these massive tariffs, it's like watching a SpaceX launch.
(The X stands for explosion)
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
Wow, pretty obvious they want to destroy physical media with crushing high prices...
Virtual game carts anyone???
Re: M2's 'Gradius Origins' Collects Some Of The Shmup Series' Finest And A Brand-New Entry
At first, I thought might be a port if the GBA Gradius mash-up game.
Since this is another collection, there maybe overlap with Konami's Arcade collection....
Re: 'RAIDOU Remastered' Brings ATLUS' PS2 Supernatural RPG To Switch This June
This should really be a bundle with both games. Just do it already!
Because now people will Wait & See, to decide if the 2nd game is going to happen.
Re: Switch 2 'Indentations' Make It Incompatible With Original Switch Dock, Says Genki
If the S2 dock is sold separately, we riot.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Confirmed For Switch, Launching 2025
One question: Will MP4 be a cross-gen title?
I think it will be...to demonstrate the Switch 2 advantage.
Nintendo would be crazy not to and it would still sell great on both systems.
Re: Review: Wizardry: Proving Grounds Of The Mad Overlord (Switch) - A Grand Remake Of An Iconic Game
Despite mixed reviews, I'm still somewhat interested in this game.
I'd like to see more classic games brought forward with a modest update.
But a game like this needs a physical release with a poster or booklet.
Maybe iconic Wizardry logo on one side and a map of Floor 1 on the other.
Re: Disney Illusion Island Announces Free 'Keeper Up' Update, Out Now
While playing with family, I struggled to find the positives here.
This game is so aggressively bland, I swear it was AI-generated.
There's only a handful of design ideas here, repeated indefinitely.
This is electronic equivalent of a sleeping pill, producing nightmares.
You will struggle to awaken. We dubbed it "Not-So-Epic-Mickey".
Re: 'Atari 50' Is Getting More Games Via Free Updates, 12 Dropping Next Week
I picked this up for Switch last BF, so glad they're still supporting it.
Re: Retro-Inspired Indie Sea Of Stars Receives A New Switch Update
Physical?
Maybe?
Re: Nintendo And Illumination Thank Fans For Supporting The Super Mario Bros. Movie
I enjoyed all the game references...
But Peach was completely insufferable.
Please...don't make Zelda so arrogant.
Re: Star Ocean The Second Story R Is A Full-Blown Remake Of A Classic PS1 RPG
I would've been happy with a port of Second Evolution R from PSP.
That's been out in Japan already for years...
This new thing looks like it was Frankenstein-ed together.
Re: Looks Like The Best 'Star Ocean' Game Might Be Getting A Remake
Please, just port the PSP version to Switch...
They should have already done that years ago!
Re: Star Wars: KOTOR II 'Sith Lords' DLC Cancelled For Nintendo Switch
So glad I never bought this...
I was tempted, but decided to wait.
Now, I guess, I'll wait for the Fire Sale.
Re: Dolphin Emulator Steam Release "Indefinitely Postponed"
If the issue is the Wii Encryption Key, they should have just remove it...
Dolphin emulator on Steam Deck could be just for Gamecube (still amazing).
But now that Nintendo filed a takedown, it's probably too late.
Re: Review: Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection - Divine Dungeon Crawling But Not Definitive
Game prices are really getting out of control...
Etrian Collection and the FF Pixel are ridiculous overpriced.
Each of these should be $59.99 with a physical releases in all regions.
$80 for remastered digital game collections is completely mental.
Re: Dolphin Emulator Steam Release "Indefinitely Postponed"
Valve should fight this (unless they've completely sold out).
Nintendo is taking everyone to court now because Online exists.
They want to force everyone to subscribe to a retro game service.
Also, Steam Deck is a portable so that triggered Nintendo too.
Re: Review: The Legend Of Heroes: Trails To Azure - Crossbell's Conclusion Is A Cracking RPG
Pretty rare for the Switch port to beat Playstation....nice.
If only they would also port the Sky Trilogy from PC to Switch.
Maybe if the combined Switch Crossbell sales are good enough?
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED Rumour Resurfaces Online
I bet even the box will be freakin' gorgeous...love to get this custom system.
I have the Minecraft Xbox One S & the box is lovely too, as is the sharp system.
This is the only custom Switch I've ever really liked, but then I really want an OLED.
Re: Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Brings Original Trio Of DS Titles To Switch In June
Pricing on many games now is completely insane. Not even physical?
These games should $20 each or $60 for the collection on physical.
FF Pixel Remaster is also ridiculously expensive. These companies suck.
People should seek out other means to play these games, don't get robbed.
Re: Out Now: Treasure's Classic Arcade Shmup 'Radiant Silvergun' Surprise Drops On Switch
Seems kinda high...I bought these already on Xbox:
Radiant Silvergun and Guardian Heroes.
Re: Mini Review: Yars: Recharged - A Relaxed, Repetitive Reinvention Of An Atari Classic
Why link to two other games that aren't reviewed?
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pac-Man World: Re-Pac
My Wal-Mart only got one copy for each system.
If you want this game physical, don't sleep on it.
Things are changing, we're not seeing many big print runs.
It's happening with movies too, we're being pushed to digital.
Don't expect everything to be Clearance or Black Friday: only CoD.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pac-Man World: Re-Pac
I picked up Switch version, because I suspect that will be the hardest version to find later.
Game seems decent to good for the money. Switch isn't best version but is portable.
I have fond memories of the original, so it's hard to be 100% objective.
Re: Pac-Man World: Re-Pac Frame Rate, Resolution, And File Size For Switch Seemingly Revealed
Wow, $29?
I'm so excited for this, the original was amazing.
My son loves Mario, I'm more of a Pac-Man guy...
Re: DOOM Eternal Standard, Steelbook, Special & Ultimate Physical Switch Editions Revealed
Limited Run is not about game preservation...it's just a FOMO scam.
Anything beyond the $60 version shouldn't really exist.
Re: Video Game Publisher Bandai Namco Appears To Have Been Hacked
If I was a hacker, I'd remove the blinding 100% bright white BN logo.
Everytme I boot Elden Ring, Bandai Namco logo blinds me.
Re: Suda51's Cult Classic 'Lollipop Chainsaw' Is Getting A Remake Next Year
Maybe they should have waited for Switch confirmation?
Articles like this just confuse people who see them on NintendoLife...
If this is a remake with current HW requirements, Switch is not for sure.
Re: Bandai Namco Shares First Gameplay Of Pac-Man World: Re-PAC
PSA: Ms. Pac-Man has been replaced.
So as good as this remake is, it will never be 1:1.
Re: Review: Shadowrun Trilogy - A Fantastic Trio Utterly Let Down By Shoddy Ports
I wonder if this bundle is on the new Steam sale....
I'd love to get this on Switch, but the ports are always crap.
Re: Aspyr Is Bringing Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II To Switch This June
I was excited till I saw both games take up 28GB...
Not sure I want to tie up that much space, maybe there's physical releases?
Re: Capcom Slashes Prices Of Games On 3DS & Switch eShop For Golden Week (North America)
Too bad all the RE games aren't $7.99...why just Revelations 1&2?
Re: Cult Classic Action Game 'El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron' Is Getting A Switch Port
Interesting, I bought the 360 version a year ago for around $18.
My guess is the Switch port won't be better, but we'll see...
Re: Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium Announced For Switch, Will Include 32 Classic Games
Two collections with DLC add-ons doesn't really make sense. Maybe if one was 80's and the other was 90's...but just arbitrarily splitting up really old games just looks like a cash grab.
Re: Vicarious Visions Is Seemingly No More After It Merges With Blizzard Entertainment
I'm afraid we'll see more of this under MS. They buy alot of Devs who just go on autopilot and then disappear. Blank checks don't result in good management and finished games. Look at 343, massive teams often lead to long development cycles and curiously unfinished games. It's almost like no one cares, because every game just gets dumped out on the GamePass feeding trough anyway.
Re: Random: Logan Paul Spends Absurd Money On Rare Pokémon Card
I have no idea who this nut-job is...and I'm so glad.
Only time I'm aware of his existence is when he does something stupid.
Re: Review: Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition - A Fair Port For Chrono Trigger's Follow-Up
Sounds alot like the Grandia review, therefore I will wait for the 50% off sale.
Re: Is 'Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium' On The Way To Switch?
Alot of Dreamcast games started out as Naomi arcade games.
Maybe the next Stadium is for 3D Naomi games...
It has to be something more modern to justify new launcher.
Re: The House Of The Dead: Remake Physical Edition Pre-Orders Are Now Live
This game is going to shine a light on the limitations of gyro controls. The Wii senor bar with Motion Plus did this kind of game better. Due to the fast-paced action on screen, using a Pro Controller may not be very satisfying.
