The fact that I can still play all game modes in my WiiU CoD games offline says a lot, money well spent. On the other hand, CoD games today require full game download, a continuous internet connection even for campaign, textures are streamed from a server not loaded from memory.

@JammyShot get a racing wheel

Great news, but greedy publishers like Capcom or Square will keep using the key cards anyway. Street Fighter 6 is 54 Gb and they still chose to pass on the storage cost to the customer.

@ROMhaiku You mean the Xenoblade formula, because whatever they do next might be a Xeno-game of sorts.

Metroid Prime 4 blew me away, the series continues to be a technical showcase since it first debuted on GameCube.

Smash Bros. doesn't need Sakurai anymore, not that he wouldn't make an amazing new entry but the foundation for the game is there and someone else can make it. Inatead, Sakurai should be allowed to work his magic on brand new games.

BANANZA the real GOTY!

@mereel all Capcom games released so far can fit on a 64Gb cartridge, and developers should aim for that 64Gb limit when porting to Switch 2. However Nintendo should offer a variety of game card sizes from small all the way up to 128Gb if necessary.

@Marioparty this is the most arcadey Sonic Racing game to date, in a good way, if anything it compares to Mario Kart Arcade GP. If you're looking for more refined driving physics, Mario Kart World is the way to go.

Got the $5 upgrade and also getting the physical edition next year, no way I'm missing out on that 64Gb cartridge release.

After playing Prime 4 I'm loving mouse controls on Switch 2.

@RunGMhx it's no one's fault that you forgot about it and it's only been six months since it launched, more content will eventually come.

And I wouldn't call Metroid Prime 4 hub area an "open world", it's small and easy to traverse it doesn't get in the way.

I prefer the original Koopa Beach to DK Spaceport track, it may be a straight line but it required strategy, the center is the fastest path because of the boost pads but is dangerous because of how narrow and crowded it is, if you get a good item you can defend yourself or take a different lane.

Being faxed by Miyamoto, an honor greater than any award.

I survived with one City Trial map for 20 years and never got bored, I'll be fine.

I've tried both, HDR and SDR with different settings and HDR still looks the best.

Asuming you have properly calibrated your HDR settings on both your TV and Switch 2, and games like Mario Kart and Cyberpunk look great but Kirby doesn't, I recommended changing the peak luminance and peak black level settings to "High" on your TV for this specific game. Still not as vibrant but it looks pretty good.

This is a case where I'd be happy if they pull a "let's port PS360 titles to Nintendo" instead of getting the new CoD.

Against the odds, the fact that Sakurai blessed us with a sequel in today's economy is remarkable.

Why is the original Underground not in the list? And ProStreet is awesome, also not in the list.

It does stand out for sure, it has a huge white banner that says game-key card.

Seems like their price in the machine market has sky-rocketed lol

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT at this point let's just be grateful Switch 2 Edition physical releases exist.

Panic Button know the hardware so well even Nintendo had to ask them for help lol

Come on Panic Button you're ready to bring Doom The Dark Ages to NS2.

First thing I'm doing when my copy arrives is booting up the game without any updates, I want to see what version and how much is on the cartridge.

Let's go BANANZA!

The game has more than enough content if you go for 100% completion, I don't see the need for this DLC. That being said, I might grab in a couple years if I feel like revisiting the game.

Kirby Air Ride on GameCube, my favorite GCN game. Getting ready for Air Riders next week!

Physical release is a vague term these days, we use "full on-cartridge" now.

That's why you just don't translate a commercial from Japanese. The Japanese original song makes sense because all sentences end in "DA" like the game name "eaa raiDA" and it rhymes. This translation is just awful lol

@StyrofoamCup hey Star Fox Zero rocks, fun and high replayability. One of my top choices when playing WiiU now.

It's already confirmed to be a key-card.

Those SFX send a chill down my spine.

@SmaggTheSmug lol really? Come on N64 only supported English and it never stopped any of us non-english native speakers from grabbing a good old fashioned dictionary to push through Ocarina of Time.

@darkfenrir I can't play account's B content using account A on the same console using online licenses with both accounts registered as primary.

Maybe you are using only one or two consoles? In such case virtual game cards are in action even if you activate online licenses. Add a third one and the whole virtual game card system falls apart. According to the Nintendo official site : "Other people can only play your digital content if they are playing on a console where you have loaded the content as a virtual game card, and vice versa."

Still unable to link more than two systems to use virtual game cards and online licenses won't let you share content between users in the same console. Accessing digital content is a nightmare on Switch.

@NintendoWife Disagree with this, DK Country was my introduction to videogames and he was the icon of videogames for me for a good while.

From a character perspective he's as iconic and recognizable as Mario, he just didn't got as many games mostly because Nintendo themselves didn't know how to make good DK games, it was thanks to Rare that he became a big deal during the 90s.

Miyamoto on a personal level I wonder why he doesn't seem to care about Donkey Kong as much as Mario.

This game announcement would be the epic finale for the year of the kart racer.

True physicals are coming:

• Sonic Racing CrossWorlds
• System Shock Remake
• Yooka-Replaylee

For me, The Last Story has the most beautiful and emotional fireworks sequence. Running as Elza with Kanan following you behind trying not to get lost in the city crowds, the fireworks illuminates the path with different colors and the explosions sound makes it difficult to hear each other just like in real life, so memorable!

They should acquired Platinum Games. They've put out some great games together but Platinum seems to be struggling lately.

Glad WiiU and 3DS are there, my favorite console duo.

I have five Switches, I did my part. I'm ready for a Switch 2 Lite OLED though.

I didn't realize how good we had it with the Switch, with physical releases here and there. It's a dreadful situation with the Switch 2 key-cards.

@RumandCohibas the game literally just released lol they have 10 years to make DLC.

Such a disgusting and greedy company. Capcom is just abusing DRM with Key-cards on NS2 , Denuvo on PC, distributing all DLC of "complete editions" as download codes. Just another EA or Ubisoft.

All this icing on the package with no real cake. Why bothering with a collector's box, amiibo and even a pro controller if the actual game is not even included? We get anything but the game itself, just cardboard and a lot of plastic. Capcom is taking advantage of the consumer abusing Key cards, while smaller devs like Playtonic and Nightdive are doing the actual work to put out their game on real cartridges.

Give us a full on-cartridge release on Switch 2 an I'll buy it day one Capcom.

Both go so hard I couldn't decide, skipped this vote.

I'll join the Joker festival in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds this weekend.
