Nintendo has been good about backwards compatibility, especially with handhelds. Using small cartridges makes this even easier.
There is very little reason to think Switch 2 won't be able to play the Switch library. I doubt it will happen, but if the old games receive a performance boost on Switch 2, that would be fantastic.
I was not interested in this game as kart games that aren't Mario Kart never feel right... But I figured a "free-to-play" clone was a good idea for those who don't know better. But it turns out that it is $30-$70 and you still need to grind to unlock stuff and will need to pay more later. I hope this fails.
I still need to finish 2 and 4... completely skipping 3.
Trine 2 on WiiU was great with pointer controls using a Wiimote and drawing on the Gamepad... but the pointer controls were abandoned on Switch. Not sure if they exist in Trine 4 for Switch?
Hopefully (doubtful) the motion control cursor will return in Trine 5? And has anyone seen how this runs on Switch?
I do agree with this review... although I would give the movie at least a 7 because it was spectacular to see and I wasn't expecting a great story. I do still think that the existing story could have been written better.
And I do wonder what this could have been in the hands of the Wreck It Ralph writers.

Re: Hands On: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Lives Up To Its Name In The First Hour
What happened to Black Yoshi?
And Elephant Yoshi would have been so, so weird...
Re: Review: Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy - A Series Best That Proves It Still Has The Magic
@Magician @wazlon
You may want to save yourself some time and skip Trine 3.
Re: Review: Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy - A Series Best That Proves It Still Has The Magic
Glad to hear it... still need to finish Trine 2 and start Trine 4.
I will be completely skipping Trine 3.
Re: 'Thunder Ray' Looks Like The Perfect Spiritual Successor To Punch-Out
A simple remaster of Punch-Out Wii would be welcome... I always wanted to play that game more, but with a proper controller.
Also, would prefer a new Ready2Rumble.
Re: Turok 3: Shadow Of Oblivion Remaster Announced For Switch
Now do the TimeSplitters trilogy...
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th August (North America)
What about Marble It Up Ultra? I expected that to be Highlighted...
Re: RoboDunk Is A Sports Roguelite Combining NBA Jam-Style Basketball And Explosive Upgrades
I'm listening...
Very interesting premise... but the roguelite/levelling elements aren't my thing... and the level of polish (UI) looks low.
Re: WayForward's Game Boy Color Classic 'Xtreme Sports' Is Out Now On Switch
WayForward loves their scantily clad characters...
Re: Super Mario Bros. Live-Action Movie Getting 4K Anniversary Screening (Japan)
Honestly, the live action movie had the same level of writing as the animated movie... at least it tried to provide some explanation.
Re: 'It's A Wrap!' Mixes '80s Action Movies And Time-Bending Puzzle Platforming On Switch Soon
Never thought I would see Non-Linear Editing turned into a game... going to check this out for sure!

Re: Surprise! Red Dead Redemption Blasts Onto Switch Next Week
This will be interesting... are there announced plans for 2?
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th July (North America)
YEAH! YOU WANT "THOSE GAMES," RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!
Re: Review: Disney Illusion Island - Mickey Mouse's Metroidvania Is Magical
Glad this is good as it looked like it could turn out to be another quickly forgotten licensed game.
I would prefer Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch.
Re: EVO 2023 Reveals Full Schedule - Featuring Tournaments, Panels & Surprises
We need a new Bushido Blade... Or at least port the Deadliest Warrior games to Switch!
Re: 50 Best NES Games Of All Time
Disney Afternoon Collection... Switch... Please.
Re: EA Sports FC 24 Scores First Gameplay Trailer Later This Week
Those faces... yikes!
And yes, they will get it on to the Switch one way or another considering the install base... but it probably won't be very good.
Just remake Sega Soccer Slam for Switch!
Re: 'The Past Within' Is A Spooky Co-Op Puzzle Adventure, Launching On Switch Next Month
So you need to play it on two different Switch consoles?
Re: Hands On: Everybody 1-2-Switch! Is Harmless Fun, But It's No Wii Party
1-2 Switch is now a series... I really think this motion control party game for ultra casuals is over, but we'll see.
Doesn't really bother me as long as the devs working on this stuff wouldn't have been making something awesome.
Re: Hip-Thrusting Is Just One Of The Weird Minigames In Everybody 1-2-Switch!
Do people want this? I didn't think 1-2 Switch did that well and should have been a pack-in game.
I guess the $30 price tag is a little better.
Re: Round Up: SGDQ 2023 - The Best Nintendo Speedruns
Wayne's World SNES was great... but not on here?
Re: Poll: Will There Be A June 2023 Nintendo Direct?
It seems clear that the games in development are for Switch 2, so they can't reveal anything until the console is announced.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2: Everything We Know About Nintendo's Next Console - Nvidia Chips, Rumours
If Switch 2 can play all games at 1080p/60 with the dock upscaling to 2160p, I would be happy.
Anything more than that is highly unlikely.
Re: Random: Modders Build World's Smallest GameCube Using Authentic Nintendo Hardware
Real GameCube... kinda
Re: Don't Lose Yer Head In This Creepy PS1-Inspired First-Person Horror
I might check this out around Halloween time... I wish the art style weren't quite so retro.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Incredible Opening Is One Of Nintendo's Best
Ganon with serious Mumm-Ra vibes...
Re: 'Fights In Tight Spaces' Brawls Its Way Onto Switch Later This Month
Interesting for sure... but why don't the people with guns shoot them?
Re: Ski Sniper
This game is actually quite fun.
Re: Sinister Fishing Indie 'Dredge' Reveals 2023 Roadmap, Includes Free Updates & Paid DLC
This game is awesome... the only negative was that it ended too soon! I was really hoping they would add DLC missions... wish it were sooner.
The "passive mode" might actually be nice to complete the fish log while I wait for new missions.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th April (North America)
Super Dungeon Maker should maybe be in the Highlights section?
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom "Hands On" Performance & Resolution Detailed
I definitely thought this one would run at 1080/30... oh well.
Re: Review: Bramble: The Mountain King - Solid Puzzle Platforming In A Horrid Nordic Mythscape
Looks like a maybe Steam Sale game...
Re: Review: Disney Speedstorm - Great Courses And Characters, But Stutters On Switch
Inflation is so bad that $30 is now "free"...
I was not interested in this game as kart games that aren't Mario Kart never feel right... But I figured a "free-to-play" clone was a good idea for those who don't know better. But it turns out that it is $30-$70 and you still need to grind to unlock stuff and will need to pay more later. I hope this fails.
Re: Random: Of Course People Are Thirsty For Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
I thought he was a pig?
Re: Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy Winds Up For Summer Switch Release
I still need to finish 2 and 4... completely skipping 3.
Trine 2 on WiiU was great with pointer controls using a Wiimote and drawing on the Gamepad... but the pointer controls were abandoned on Switch. Not sure if they exist in Trine 4 for Switch?

Re: Mario Movie's Jack Black Song 'Peaches' Now Eligible For Oscar Nomination
So much Inspirado.
Re: Poll: Did You Use Motion Controls In Mario Kart Wii?
I started with MK64... no interest in Tilt Control.
I do wish they would make another Excite Truck, but with proper controls enabled.
Re: Video: Jack Black Performs Bowser's Mario Movie Song 'Peaches'
I've been a Jack Black fan since the 1997 HBO show... so glad he is still around entertaining us.
Re: Soapbox: Can We Stop Pretending Switch Can't Run Call Of Duty?
The Modern Warfare collection would make a lot of sense on Switch.
Re: Movie Review: The Super Mario Bros. Movie - A Fun Ride That Substitutes Story For Spectacle
I do agree with this review... although I would give the movie at least a 7 because it was spectacular to see and I wasn't expecting a great story. I do still think that the existing story could have been written better.
And I do wonder what this could have been in the hands of the Wreck It Ralph writers.
Re: Tiny Thor Nails Pixel Art Platforming And Puzzles In Stunning New Trailer
This is looking very good.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie DVD, Blu-ray And 4K Steelbook Pre-Orders Are Now Live
I'll likely get the 4K disc... when it's $10... and if the movie is actually good.
Re: Co-Op Adventure 'Blanc' Gets Sizeable Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
Good to hear... I have played the first hour or so and it was buggy.
Re: Review: Dredge - A Haunting Lovecraftian Fishing Sim That Reels You In
Demo was great... Bought the Deluxe edition at full price.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th March (North America)
Dredge is awesome... And should be in the Highlights.
Re: Review: Have A Nice Death - Delightfully Dark, Brutally Tough Roguelite Action
Not for me... but glad it's good.
Re: Hands On: Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! - A Warm, Cuddly Return (Except For The Space Invaders)
Interesting release... does seem more like a $20 download unless it is more extensive than it seems.
Too bad it doesn't include a collection of the old games?
Re: Best Deals And Cheapest Games In The 3DS & Wii U eShop Sales
The 3 SteamWorld games (Dig, Dig 2, Heist) are incredible and play great on 3DS.
Shovel Knight on WiiU for $6 is also great, but no one probably still plays WiiU.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch DLC
Delicious Last Course... DLC... get it?
Re: Countdown: Wii U eShop Spotlight - Year Walk
That is a shame... it is a very interesting game... my wife and I have played through it a few times with various friends and family.
Maybe it will get ported to Switch... but probably not.
