@Mgalens yea I saw someone already responded to you, so hopefully one of us at least made it a bit easier to understand lol

@SamusHunter182 thats due to the Switch 2 having to upscale the 720p image to match the 1080p screen, plus the screen just being bigger in general.

@Mgalens its not input lag. But basically its how long a pixel on a screen takes to shift to another pixel. If it takes too long, it could create a ghosting effect visible to some users.

@The_Nintend_Pedant MK8 and World reverted it back to the MK64 blue shell where it could slides along the track and can spin out anybody if that's what you mean.

@AstroTheGamosian Mario Kart 8 Deluxe did that already actually in an update. Guessing World was already fairly late into development by the time that was added, which is why the feature wasn't carried over?

Reading what Iizuka said, I feel like you all are really playing this up to get clicks lmao. If anything something like the Bullet Bill, Golden Shroom or Lightning help a back of the pack racer catch up a LOT more than a blue shell does. This seems like a massive stretch to me.

@Anti-Matter lmao aren't the one who always goes on about how much crossovers suck?

I do notice it, but I feel like it would only really bother someone like John Linneman lmao. Its mostly only noticeable to me on the menus and in 2d sprite games, but even then my eyes adjust eventually.

@Dman10 Why would you wanna still have access to the Godfather when you could be watching newer movies instead??? 🧐

@Sambuc Nintendo themselves have NEVER released a game that requires a patch in order to be played. And they almost always come out with revisions of their physical games later that have the patches on the cart. And yes I hate the Switch games that required online downloads to be played as well and never bought any of them. There was outrage for those games as well, but it wasn't on the scale of this, so the outrage was smaller scale to match.

@jorel262 yea I think its bc the Switch doesn't have support for Key Cards. (Switch 2 Edition physicals need to work on Switch 1 so the only other option rn other than an actual cart is a download code in the box)

@SwitchVogel Thanks! Hit me up when you do that please.

@ShonenJump121 it will be blurrier in Handheld, but docked should be equal.

@Oubie No. Sega seems to be avoiding that in favor of (?) putting out Key Cards. I dunno this whole situation is pretty strange, but it seems like Switch 2 Editions and Key Cards don't mix and the only other way to have an upgrade path is a weird workaround like Hogwarts or Deltarune. Sonic Racing Crossworlds will have an upgrade path tho as it is a a Switch 2 Edition title

It seems like if you buy the Switch 1 vers and play on Switch 2 it will run nearly identical to the Switch 2 vers since its 1080p uncapped. Well as a collector that's what I'll be doing since Switch gets an actual physical. Strange Switch 2 doesn't at least target 1440p tho Handheld mode is a bit of a downgrade at 720p, but hey it'll likely have better battery life at least. 🤷‍♂️

@RupeeClock Yea you may be right.

Looks cool. May ask for it as a christmas gift or something

I feel like such a dork saying this but how does this make any sense with the lore of Cranky Kong being the original arcade DK, which is seemingly referenced in this very game no less? Is time travel somehow involved???

@Yomerodes I doubt it. Should say "Switch 2 Edition" on the cover. Unless they use a workaround to get an upgrade path like Hogwarts or Deltarune

$10 more expensive than ps5 and Switch 1 which actually have the game on the media. Pure Greed.

@BrintaPap cloud saves aren't allowed because it would be an easy way to duplicate Pokemon. But it is true that people will always find a way

This is pretty typical for JRPG rereleases I've noticed lol

No disrespect to the guy, but I'm honestly missing Charles Martinet playing this game. I feel his Mario was better in Wonder for one. And his Wario and Waluigi leave something to be desired... His Luigi is decent to give some credit though.

@SillyG Highly doubtful considering LRG lmao. Might pick up when it hits VideoGamesPlus

@Arcsol did you watch the video? They said it was quite good and the somewhat sore spot is the DLC, but even then they said its impressive it's running at all.

@Discostew DF Direct is sometimes a bit iffy, but the scripted Digital Foundry videos are almost always really good imo

Nice that its a Switch 2 exclusive as a key card. Lovely.

@Dar3dev Alright I get it. Read my later replies. Sheesh.

@Yoshi3 Yea. Its all fine. I also feel like most non USD Dollar Sign currencies usually go higher than just a $10 bump from what I understand so thats also partly why I assumed that and kinda did a poor job explaining myself after lol. But now I know you just converted to USD.

@Yoshi3 I do know that, but its usually assumed by default as USD unless otherwise specified. I may have overreacted somewhat tho. I'm just really tired of seeing misinformation spread. I'm sorry. Anyway, why do you have the US marked as the location on your profile if that's not actually where you live??? (I actually checked before I made my initial comment which is why I thought you were from the US)

@AllBLK again I'm aware other countries outside the US exist thank you. I just really think people should specify what currency they are actually referring to. $ is almost always USD or at the very least CAD, so I feel like they should be more specific about currency to avoid misinformation getting around

@Yoshi3 Thats fine but why are you using the Dollar Sign? That symbol is almost always assumed to be USD or at the very least CAD. Most other many currencies the Switch 2 is sold in have their own symbol. This is how misinformation spreads around.

Maybe one day we'll go back to Ds Lite Battery Life lol. That thing was a total giga chad in terms of battery life

Seems like Switch 1 is the only $60 version actually.

@michellelynn0976 nah it is on a disc on ps5. But it is the oldest version before even the day 1 patch so you can argue it isn't the greatest way to play it... But at least the World Tour mode is on there and you can still play local multiplayer and stuff

@DonkeyKongBigBoy I have no idea why some of you all digital people want there to be less options. You think that will somehow make things better for you??? For the record, even as a collector I wouldn't want digital to go away as an option.

@SuperToe practically all of their first party titles include later patches on reprints. They just don't advertise it at all. You can find a spreadsheet of all of the physical revisions by googling.

@KociolekDoSyta lmao thats a digital only system

@KociolekDoSyta Dude look at the patch notes. Most of that is just online stuff. Your physical cartridge is just fine Edit: Btw, Nintendo releases revisions of their physical games with the software updates on the cart. If it really bothers you, just wait for the revisions to come out..

They did not brick the system lmao. Physical Switch 2 games still work on it. Nice reporting tho!

I believe the CEO of Xbox Phil Spencer is actually a shell for the real CEO of Xbox, a copy of Shark Tale on DVD.

Is it just me or is this update not downloading at all on the download screen?

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT I hate to tell you this, but your Switch has all the firmware updates installed as long as you are buying new physical games for it. The firmware is required to play the games and the cards themselves contain the firmware for you to download offline lmao

@Vyacheslav333 I believe the ps5 couldn't play ps4 games before the day one patch either.

Keep in mind that pretty much every Wii, Wii U and Switch game that needs a certain hardware firmware to play has that firmware off the media to install to the system offline. So this shouldn't be an issue in the future for those concerned about that. As long as the Switch 2 is the same, which seems highly likely.

The logic is in lessening the resale value lmao.

@Solid_Python Well Switch 2 should bump it up to whatever its target framerate is at the very least.

@montrayjak you should play it! Its one of the Game Boy's best games! Its not just a simple arcade port. Its basically an entirely original puzzle platformer. Its on Switch Online now iirc.

@montrayjak It's the Donkey Kong 94 design https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0302504/mediaviewer/rm1899961857/?ref_=tt_ov_i which somewhat resembles the original arcade design, tweaked to have more elements of Rares DK. With Bananza and Mario Kart World tweaking that to bring it even closer to Rare's DK, while also tweaking it in other areas.
