IronMan30

That's pretty rad.

@Dimey pricing in many countries has gone to insane levels and I blame greed/policy.

Of course not all games will be to your taste. That's every console.

In any case, I will buy Kirby Air Riders, Mario Tennis (on sale), Mario Wonder's DLC, Persona 3 (on sale), Metroid Prime 4 (Switch 2), Resident Evil 8/9, Yoshi and Monster Hunter Stories 3. Already bought the DKB DLC, though.

Fire Emblem is a buy, as well. Though I still need to beat Engage...

Fwiw, Odyssey on Switch 2 is a clear visual upgrade than on OG Switch. If this is close to that, it will look awesome.

I don't blame anyone for balking at the price, because value will always be subjective, but to me it may be worth the upgrade. My kids playing these for the first time would also warrant it. If nothing else, I'll likely buy Galaxy 2.

Many people called the first game a 10 and I disagree with that, but it's good to know they followed it up with another good game.

And no, I'm not one of those people who says "no video game is a 10." BotW and TotK are both relatively recent 10's for me.

I thought the main issues people had with it was it didn't maintain a good fps. I.e., it's more of a hardware issue because the media was already fed up with the perceived lack of power and so were most of the people who wanted to play Bayonetta 3.

And besides, if it was too different, fans would have burned them at the stake. It's impossible to make everyone happy.

Switch 2 update?

So with this update that'll make One Piece an 8?

I mean, these are 90 gb games. Did any normal person expect these to go on a cart?

I can understand why someone wouldn't buy it, but I bought the DLC because I didn't pay full price for the base game.

I don't have a premium membership, but even if I did, I would use makeshift cardboard to play these games.

I paid $55 for the game at launch, so this is like I'm paying $5 for the DLC. I don't mind that price.

@N00BiSH this conversation pops up all the time. "Why can't Nintendo be like they were before I was aware of their business practices?!" Is basically all ppl mean and they don't even realize it.

My body is ready for this game.

That Direct was a 9/10, for me. No Mario Kart World DLC was probably the thing that made me most concerned and even that is likely a temporary feeling because we didn't know 8 would get DLC when it launched and look how that turned out.

And Mario Galaxy 2 in 4k. Sign me up!

I'm excited for this!

I was hoping for this because mouse controls make sense and they already exist for PC.

So yep, looking forward to the update!

I haven't played a Fatal Frame, but this looks like it could be great.

This looks really good!

I guess this is close enough to a Switch 2 update as we'll get anytime soon.

This was originally a PS4 game so I figure it should look nice on Switch 2. I'll start playing it there once it's available.

Marvel Rivals was recently confirmed for PS4 so I could see that also coming to NS2.

Metroid Prime 4 will likely get a release date and I want some more Switch 2 updates for Switch 1 games. Other than that, Idk!

Saw this on the Nintendo Today app before anyone posted it. I feel like one of the cool kids.

@SneakyLink yes, the very first one was on a Friday. (Still rare)

Also, an hour long? Wow, this is a big one, people.

This whole situation has been beyond hilarious.

I'll get the NS2 version as I've moved on from buying Switch 1 games unless I have to.

I have to agree with Ollie, the first game was inexpensive so making the second game considerably higher priced would have bothered many people. Speaking entirely from my own viewpoint here, I don't think Team Cherry priced it too low and that other people should compare games from devs just starting out to Silksong. But I guess this is the internet and someone is always mad, so the devs do have a point even if they should take it with a grain of salt.

I can't imagine disliking this so I'll probably buy it down the line. Hollow Knight was a fun enough game, for me.

@SplatRay001 yeah, that isn't a good reason to report it here. The contributor said his reasoning and it wasn't that.

@Olliemar28 that makes sense.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant How is that misleading? The eShop is failing because of Silksong. Why mention store fronts for other platforms on a Nintendo-centric site? As I said, this isn't IGN, a generic gaming news site. It isn't NL's fault that people will insert their own commentary into that statement.

Quick question, why do we care about Steam? Might as well put MS and PS stores in the headline while you're at it and call yourself IGN.

Ubisoft games go on sale all the time so I can wait but this seems interesting enough. Huzzah!

@Otimus not Nintendo, but people are just keen on posting negatively about NS2 even when it's factually inaccurate. Nothing is above reproach, but the sheer amount of negativity towards the system is almost fascinating. And, tbf, GVG did take down their initial video saying this is a bad port.

Edited for clarity, btw.

@jfp that's what I've been saying for some time. What's the relevance of that? At this point, it seems like that's their goal.

Aaaand there it is. Those videos posted of the leaked copy were right. It looks and plays well enough. And all of those videos/articles from multiple sources were pure rage bait (as expected). Makes you wonder about the final version of Elden Ring...

Edit: I'm gonna throw this out there... this should be a case study on how the internet physically can't act normal about the Switch 2.

I'd settle for 7 and 8 natively on NS2.

I hope we get a NS2 upgrade for this one.

I'm seeing mostly Switch 2 reviews for this game and they are from 6 to 8 so...

I would assume as much as they can, they will make it look and run well. Or that's what they are trying to say.

@Solid_Python I came here to say the same thing. It looked really good on a YT video I watched.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land DLC, it's been really fun, so far. I may also play through the colosseum. I will play more Deathloop over on Xbox and some more Mario Kart World since I'm trying to help my oldest kid three star some of the 150cc Grand Prix cups. It's my twins' birthday today so we will also celebrate that.
Have a good weekend, all!

I really am rooting for this game to turn out well because it shows promise.

But the internet says this is another Wii U!

@PJOReilly good to hear it! My son has more hours in the NS1 edition of this than I do! Lol, one of my twin daughters wanted me to lend it to her so I'll play with her, then with the other twin, as well. There's a lot of Kirby in my future.

I liked GCN a lot, even with its faults, so one of these days I really need to upgrade to the higher tier NSO sub and finally play this game.

Bought. Seems like a good excuse to come back to this game. I will play this again with my kids.

Seems worth it.

I liked the Kirby cartoon, for what it was. Couldn't tell you a single episode off the top of my head, but I remember appreciating it at the time. So this is a good indicator that we'll see more of those types of projects and that's good with me.

So will NL review the Switch 2 upgrade of Kirby?

Is it Harvest Moon, or is it Story of Seasons?!

That all depends on what the person you're talking to wants to call it because they refer to them interchangeably!

It will be more surprising if there isn't a Direct in September.
