I'm probably going to be more in line with the second opinion.

I feel compelled to make FFVII og the next game I beat on Switch before this comes out on NS2.

Of course gamers go immediately off into conspiracy theory land. In any case, this was really good! I also had strong Pixar vibes from this.

I agree that if there is anything game-related, it could be Pikmin, though. I say that because my first thought of the music was that it had strong Pikmin themes. Maybe there's a connection, maybe there isn't.

No update next week? That's fine, I'm listening to peak with this addition. Also, both versions are included, so this will surely be a nice dose of nostalgia for me.

And Nintendo Music has been kind of amazing, imo.

The demo is incredible so a delay is unfortunate. Let's hope it isn't too long.

I've never played a Silent Hill game, but I'd try this one out.

@Orwellian87 if people don't buy third-party games on gkc, they will adjust by not putting games on the Switch 2, not by putting games on cartridge.

Nice, I'll grab one of these.

@OmnitronVariant I'm not asking for anything.

@breach187 yeah, well either way we'll see how this article ages. My point was Mario Kart 8 today is not what it was 10 years ago and many people were assuming World at launch would be 8 Deluxe in 2025 and Crossworlds is closer to that than MKW. However, I can imagine World having a similar trajectory as DX. Anyway, I've played both and wouldn't agree that Crossworlds is better.

That's easy to say today because Mario Kart World is more like Mario Kart 8 when it launched. People don't remember that because it was ages ago. Let's talk in 5 years because there is a good chance MKW will have more content by then.

Also, having played both, it's very hard to make a straight comparison because they're vastly different experiences. One is good if you expected MKW to be a nicer looking MK8DX (heavy emphasis on deluxe because the original had a horrible battle mode and fewer tracks at launch). The other is good if you like doing tricks, pure chaos, and mastering shortcuts and trying to perfect tricks/shortcuts while not racing.

And today we're getting commentary from people who expect a MK8 type experience from a Kart racer (i.e., 3 "standard" laps, a ton of different tracks and in the case of deluxe a functional battle mode, which wasn't present in base MK8). When people who played (and loved) MKW in their formative years start talking about MK when they're online, I imagine they will control the narrative, and it won't be what it is today.

Don't forget, Mario Kart World's free roam is not the same today as it was at launch. That gives me reason to believe there will be additional meaningful updates to the game.

DKB or MKW could take it for me, but since people have been waiting longer for those other games (especially Ghost) I'd expect one of them one to win.

As a single dipper, this is good news!

I wasn't exactly expecting a NS1 version of this game.

@cvrator yes, the perception has been around for a long time now.

Idk if bring myself to get the collection when I have 3D All Stars, but Galaxy 2 is a sure buy. Really wish they didn't release it this way, but $40 isn't wild when I paid that same price for Metroid Prime Remastered so...meh.

@AussieMcBucket I had the same thought. That is a weird con.

"has broken me of that Nintendo stigma that third-party blockbusters can’t run on their hardware".
Doubtful. People have convinced themselves Nintendo consoles are underpowered and unable to run games like this in spite of evidence to the contrary. For reasons.

And yes, this extends to developers/publishers.

I haven't seen a ton of sites post reviews of the NS2 version so it's good to see this turned out well.

I could live with that. However, the new Batman game interests me the most of the Lego games.

I've mostly retired my Xbox and don't own (or want) a PS5. Switch 2 it is, for me.

Switch 2 port, when?

Yep, buying these games. It's time to get into Yakuza.

Seeing the footage, it looked smooth enough for me not to mind. I'll stick with the NS2 version of the game.

Also, there are a decent amount of games for PS5 and XSX that prioritize visuals over performance. This is the norm.

@DTFaux yeah, that might happen and would be awesome. I managed to get Riju, Yunobo, Sidon and Tulin amiibo in that sale.

Let's hope they're cheaper than $40 a piece because that's what they want for the Street Fighter amiibo.

I called this a few years ago when she was in Bowser's position before he was the new Reggie. Lol

Feels like Bowser had a short tenure but I guess he was there for a little while because he took over for Reggie in 2019-ish.

@Aurumonado Indeed. It makes sense given Bowser's position before he was the new Reggie was that one. Now she's the new Reggie/Bowser.

I still need to play the first game. Maybe after I finally beat XCX DE.

@ro-kurorai good to hear. I plan on getting it at some point but I'm kidding myself into thinking that it will be soon. Lol

Is there going to be a NL review for Trails in the Sky? I tried the demo but I would like to know if the full game is good.

Looks great. RE is an awesome series (for the most part).

Let's not kid ourselves. Does any gamer actually want to hear this? No matter how true it may be, ppl will always point to Cyberpunk 2077 as to why this reason is invalid. Ironically, that argument never works when discussing how a game could come to NS2 that everyone thinks the console can't handle. I.e., you can't point to Cyberpunk 2077 as an example of NS2's power.

@DiamondJim I looked it up and the eShop listing says the distant future of checks notes 2023. Jokes aside (even though that isn't a joke), there was news of it being delayed to 2026. Imo, that game is probably coming to NS2 and the other consoles it's coming to in 2027.

I will grab this on the Black Friday sale because I'm not 100% sure it will gel with me. But people rave about it.

@Yakuboto I was trolling about the GKC part so...yeah. This game looks great and I didn't play the original back in the 90's so that's the big reason I want it.

@Yakuboto I don't buy physical games.

@AverageGamer the article beat you to the punch.

Idk if a Switch 2 update is warranted for this collection, but it would be appreciated. Though Rise+sunbreak (and probably Dragon's Dogma) could 100% benefit from that.

Idc about GKC, I'm buying this on Switch 2!!!

I guess I might as well hop on Yakuza since Switch 2 is getting entries in the series and the little I played of a PS3 entry was pretty fun.

That's a huge update. I was hoping for some kind of official tracker and now we have one!

Also, knockout tour with online friends is great. About time!

Imagine when DLC comes out for World.

Good sales for DKB, by the looks of it.

I'd play it in performance mode you don't really lose much out of it on NS2.

It's been a long time since an RE game launched on a Nintendo system the same time as others, so I knew this was a big deal in itself.

Splatoon 3, DKB DLC/post-game and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Mario Kart World, as well.

I would like to point out the job has already been outsourced because they contract it out to begin with. It's just now they aren't contracting out to a US-based firm.

I am not excusing them firing people, but that is still not even an accurate description of the events.

This game has incredible music, so this is worth a listen.

Very cool the Switch 2 is moving. I'm just ready for Metroid Prime 4 and a bunch of other games while I play my NS1 backlog on it.

Never bought this and I'm a fan of the studio so I'll pick it up for NS2. Seemed like a goofy game.

Nice, this is pretty cool!
