I like the article mentions if you're planning to buy the game digitally it'll take up 131GB.

What it doesn't mention is if you buy the game physically it'll take up 131GB.

@spacely_sprockets Cheaper AND with a more expensive screen?

Ha ha ha. No.

@JohnnyMind It's both a sequel and a remake.

Might be time to sue Sony for all the defects on my PS controllers over the years. Stick drift, battery and bluetooth failures, triggers snapping....

6/10, simply because talking about the system or its games and finding like minded people to have honest discussions with about games has become impossible since launch.

It's isolating, it's no longer a community, and it's no longer fun. And if gaming is no longer fun, why bother?

11/12 while logged in and rank 5th. Except not on the leaderboard lmao.

I actually thought they were just going to ride out the 10 year deal with Phil Spencer style quotes such as "We want to be where the players are" or "We love the Nintendo Switch 2 but have nothing to announce right now".

Like seriously, Activision put out Tony Hawk and dipped until now, Bethesda seems happy, and Xbox themselves....not even Minecraft. Not even the guaranteed money spinner of Minecraft!

They also gave no notice of the price increase.

Xbox - Multiple price increases, 1 week notice.
Sony - Multiple price increases, less than one week notice.
Nintendo - One (1) $50 price increase, 4 months notice.
Valve - One (1) $240-$300 price increase, no notice.

Oh it's totally gonna use mouse controls. Anything that makes you feel more connected to the character makes a game scarier.

It's the difference between watching and playing, but between playing and playing more immersively.

@DollyrotsFan1 Sonic Heroes was rereleases on PS3 digitally in Europe as a PS2 Classic. It has new bugs and ran even worse, as is Sonic tradition with rereleases it seems.

@Axecon Pokémon Winds and Waves is listed at €80. Key thing there: Euros. Like every other physical Switch 2 game in Europe, it's 80 Euros. Those same games have been $70 in the US

We're not repeating the mess around everyone assuming the EU price translates exactly to the US price like what happened pre-release with Mario Kart World. I know Sony and Microsoft do that, Nintendo doesn't. We don't have £70 first party games here on Nintendo just because they're $70.

Though we do on the other platforms....

The misinformation needs to stop.

This is also the same site that said they were cutting production and weren't going to hit 19m back in...March?

We should just go back in time and just delete Jake and Logan Paul, and a lot of things will improve.

And while we're back there, maybe set AI back another 20 years too.

Helps this is the only actual physical release.

Unreal Engine games (though 5 is particularly bad) have always had some form of issue.

However one company that seems to make it work is Nintendo. Remember they made Pikmin 4 in it.

One of the few third parties to be reading the room.

I also love when hardware sells $20 million units.

The gap before the increase goes live is telling. Rather than a day or two notice like Xbox and PlayStation, it's months, which implies they want wriggle room to adjust back down, or up further.

@-wc- I was referring to the wrong foot one

@-wc- I suppose it would be relatively boiling but that's purely from a logic standpoint of it is in fact warmer.

Of course investors aren't exactly known for....logic, are they?

As for that turn of phrase, never heard of it before. Must be an American one, or at the very least a different meaning to ones we have here.

Silent? Uh...sure.

Also, wrong foot? How can you say it's getting caught on the wrong foot when EVERYTHING that's gone wrong for them is external and unpredictable.

@Angelus3K Tell that to the PS5, Xbox Series, Legion Go, ROG Ally, Steam Deck....all older tech, all many years old, all gone up in price multiple times.

How dare they.

@AussieMcBucket Zero wasn't the same levels, nor is the original Star Fox. Corneria and Venom stay the same, but the order, level design, objectives and gameplay are all different between games.

@AussieMcBucket Zero is a remake of 64 (and by extension the original then) in the same way Ocarina of Time is a remake of A Link to the Past.

You get three stones. Princess gets kidnapped. Master Sword. Dark world version of the light world you swap between at will. 7 more dungeons. Ganon's Tower.

Star Fox, 64 and Zero are Andross attacks the system, start on Corneria, end on Venom.

I mean, 3D was 15 years ago, and they could always make a new Star Fox game, a sequel to the last canonical one which had....multiple endings....Krystal cheating on Fox....he retires to join F-Zero....half the cast died....

Nah just remake 64 and then go in a new direction.

Say it's cancelled without actually saying it.

What an absolute mess. Nintendo put a lot of focus on this, there were demos and then a week out just....nah don't feel like it? What?

And the rest of that quote reads poorly too. They say they supported Switch 2, but also "want to be where the consumers are". So what, didn't make enough money right away time to bail?

@TobiasAmaranth I know. How dare they be late to the party with face rigging on a handheld game console. They should have done it on the 3DS or had a camera on Switch so they could be in line with the times!

Old Nintendo, never having foresight for the advent of face rigging software mid generation. Terrible. Truly terrible.

Next you'll tell me DLSS has been around for 10 years too, and that they should have been early to that as well! Awful awful stuff.

Shame the CEO also turned around today and said they want to be where the consumers are, that they've supported Switch 2, but you can see from what they're doing and not doing that the main focus is Xbox and PS.

Already? It feels like yesterday we had Geoff Keighley making the industry around himself again.

E3 being built around one organisation was bad enough. This is one guy now getting paid for multiple events per year.

Interesting. Musnt be a too demanding games then.

Also I love the three image comparison on mobile. "Left to right" when it's two smaller images on top of one larger one. CSS is funny.

@Ironcore Stable by definition is holding a position and maintaining it. Instability is moving away from that position with frequency.

A stable 30fps means the same thing as a stable 60fps in something like Mario Kart. It has the target, it holds it and doesn't fluctuate.

What YOU mean is running at 30fps isn't satisfactory.

@kal_el_07241 "When none of those are still not available".

So...when they are then? Cool. See you by Christmas.

@kal_el_07241 @Dm9982 Elden Ring is being demoed again. First Light is coming in the Summer. Marvel Rivals has been confirmed to be coming by the team behind the game.

The river is over that way for your low quality bait sweetheart. 😘

@kal_el_07241 What PS3 do you know that can run some of the games coming out on Switch 2? I wanna see it.

Interesting poll options.

Imagine a world where this was skipping Switch 2 AND they delisted the original?

Hey PS/XBOX/PC fans, you can buy our shiny new version but you lose the original.

Hey Nintendo fans, you don't get anything now.

So can we put the bed "digital stays the same and physical goes up" conversation?

@SBandy1 Also interesting that Capcom called out the Switch 2 release when stating the game has hit 1m sales.

This is the same company that told shareholders it was a mistake to be so late on Switch 1.

Also the same company Nintendo has shares in and routinely contracts to help make games, and just bought a studio from.

@thenikdavies Probably because thats the PS5 version, and that'll likely be the version promoted and pushed going forward.

Its also no longer exclusive, so thats nice.

The other problem is people have been preparing for the 2026 World Championships when they announced in 2025 it would be held in Champions. Problem is we have no idea what the rule set will be by then, what Pokemon and items will be in the game by then and much more than that.

As a way to get people into competitive, its an overly monetised mess that doesn't even give you everything you'd need or want, which is funny because Scarlet and Violet already massively streamlined egg moves, IVs, breeding, and EVs to only be one step away from a slider in a menu anyway.

As a way to advance competitive forward, and be the home of VGC? God no.

@ThatOneLevel Wouldn't be a Pokemon game without some weird bugs, many of which are game breaking. Gen 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 all had them, in varying degrees from save file corruption to performance and crashes in Gen 6 to whatever the hell Gen 1 was, to Gen 2's Coin Case corruption you can do on accident, to the Pomeg glitch breaking Gen 3, tweaking in Gen 4...

Tom quote reads like the script of a Digital Foundry video. Surprised I didnt see the phrase "Hand Held" in there, instead of portable or handheld.

And for those of us in Bubbles land?

Worryingly, the World Overview isn't what we need to know.

We need to know the monetisation overview.

@Kiyata Because people kept moaning Nintendo didnt have system level voice chat, so they went above and beyond, made an OS level voice chat regardless of what game you or the others in the room are playing, with screen sharing and camera support.

But despite people wanting a built in microphone and system level voice chatting and rooms....they actually dont, apparently?

11/12 in just over a minute, not on the leaderboard again.

Got a screenshot this time to hang on my wall 🤣

This was an online game?

Switch in September and Switch 2 in November? I don't remember that happening.

Anyway, great people can experience this game as it's meant to be now, not moneyhatted by a platform holder and held back spec wise.

@-wc- I'm just adding context that you lacked is all. My perspective hasn't been added, just the facts, because my opinion ultimately doesn't matter, and this won't be shared.

Though I wish I'd been ignoring what other companies had been doing in the wider industry, because yiiiiikes.
