IronMan30

There will always be someone upset, but Nintendo's first-party video game sales indicate this is an accurate take.

This game was about as good as Banjo-Kazooie, so I'd play it again with nicer visuals.

Also, why is this full on cart but bigger third-party companies won't do that? Again, I will criticize them because if this company can do it, Sega can.

I will echo previous sentiments that I've had. The double standard for Switch 2 is a little wild because these are or were known issues for FromSoft games that still received widespread critical acclaim. But suddenly everyone cares when Switch (2) enters the chat.

Oh, and I watched both docked and handheld footage from Pax. It looks pretty good, imo.

I won't pay $60 for it, but I'm 100% buying it.

It would be cool of ActiBlizz to update the NS1 version to NS2. Mouse controls would be awesome for this game.

@Stormkyleis I've said that many times and the only explanations I have are it's multiplat while Metroid is exclusive and it's a lower price. Though that argument would falter if even half the sales of HK were on NS1. Plus, I guess the lower price on HK makes an impulse buy easier.

I'm buying this one.

@Metazoxan came here to say the same thing.

I had a feeling the release date announcement could go like this because people joked about it for a while.

@AJWolfTill I remember a few of them and many were trolls for a while that haven't commented under that name for years. But yes, it's weird to see these (likely) former commenters. The Switch-era hasn't generated enough negativity for them to return, methinks.

This game received pretty middling reviews when it was new. Like many Nintendo games, it's funny to see how later on, a lot of people are more generous with their review scores than when they were new.

It's a little wild this game came out to critical acclaim and may have the same issues as other versions, but the reviews for NS2 will take a hit for it.

@AussieMcBucket Switch 1 got the pocket version and that's the most we're getting from SE on that.

And about the game...it was fine.

I already "bought" this on Xbox so I'm good, but it's worth jumping into now that there have been major QOL updates since it launched.

Also, like most video games (or anything, I guess) it's best to come in with as few expectations as possible because you may not get the experience you thought.

I liked the original enough to want this, but not as badly as the rest of the internet.

Confirmation on (up to) 120FPS is good, though.

I can see this being a cult hit, like the first game.

@Flashlink99 "Although I probably it has to do with Geoff Keighley really, hoarding the best announcements for his crappy show."

That's a likely explanation.

Why in the world was this not in the Partner Showcase?

Indy will be mine and Pac Man World 2, as well. Daemon X Machina also looks interesting and same with Bubsy.

Given the developer's pedigree, this could turn out really well.

I will wait for reviews because while this looked decent and it expanded on the og, I'm not 100% sold on it.

And no, it's really nothing like Mario Kart.

I'll get this if they announce it for NS2. I'm buying as few NS1 games as possible and I don't want this badly enough to buy it right away.

Well, now we have the November game. I guess MP4 is December.

Ah, the fabled "Switch 2 game's soundtrack is getting added Nintendo Music" situation. It's FINALLY happening!!!

It's clearly both. Maybe soon everyone can move onto spamming about another video game.

Okay, I usually like this studio's work and didn't buy this one so I'll pick it up on NS2.

It would be a little stupid of them to mention Nintendo consoles and not at least mean Switch 2 is one of them because why mention 4k if it isn't getting a release there. Then again, why be so cryptic?

Looking forward to this one.

Never played this but I hope there is an NS2 version.

I guess this will have more substantial content than the og (which is good because it was very bare bones. I'm sorry, but it was). Plus... maybe Nintendo's next Direct will be massive.

I'll get this game on discount, but it sounds like a good time.

Death Stranding could happen, but I want Metaphor since everyone seemed to love that game. Also, where is the new Tales game? Maybe Nintendo wanted to wait until the main Direct in September to show that off...One can only hope.

I don't play splitscreen on BL, but the option would have been good.

Make it so, Namco!

These and a few other of Bethesda/id's classics could use a Switch 2 version.

I played some Mario Kart World this morning and did a few P block missions. The soundtrack on that game is brilliant. Played some more post-game of DK Bananza and got some more moons in Mario Odyssey. I also played some Drag X Drive. That is not one I think I'll pick up, which isn't a fault of the game but I wasn't good at it. Won a match in the new mode of Apex Legends on NS2. The NS1 version was serviceable, but it is much smoother on NS2.

Then I played some XCX DE even though I'm playing that slower in case we get a Switch 2 update. You never know, but I'd just rather play that with nicer visuals and frames if it becomes available. Almost forgot that I also played Mina the Hollower on Thursday. That demo was incredible. 120 FPS doesn't look terribly different from 60, but it's fun to say I played something at 120 FPS on Switch 2. Anyway, have a great weekend!

@ottoecamn okay, and? Did she say that the game is on a cartridge for NS1? Why bring it up?

@Markatron84 so that means it isn't on Switch 2?

No Switch 2 version BECAUSE it's a Game Key Card?

@breach187 well, people can see that for themselves when they're going to buy it. Seems like a cheap way to get people to comment. But hey, it worked on me.

" It's coming to both Switch 1 and Switch 2, but the latter will be a Game-Key Card release."

What's the relevance of it being a Game-key Card? Does that mean it isn't actually coming to NS2?

This reminded me of Dead Space/RE4 during the Direct and that's a massive compliment.

I'll get this on sale. Madden games are hit or miss, for me.

Hey, it's a variation of the beginning of SM64. I'm sure my 5 year olds will like this!

I thought it was excellent, for what it was.

So we know in Switch 2 handheld mode it should look good. That's great to hear.
The Indie World was awesome, btw!

Play the demo, btw. It's really good!

Seems very unique. I'll keep an eye on it.

I'll probably buy it on NS2.

Gyro is also very "seamless" I didn't need to turn it on to activate it and don't need to use it to aim either up/down or left/right.

Upgrading because I want that DLC. Also, playing in the arena again will be fun.

Elden Ring and FFVII Remake are both there, so this is very cool!
