I understand wanting to try new things, but people have been begging Thunderful for a real Steamworld Dig sequel for years and they seem dead set on giving us anything but. If they really want to "improve operative cash flow", perhaps they should try listen to their fans and give them what they've been clamoring for.

This is a game where 60fps is extremely important and a deciding factor if I purchase or not. I"m not holding my breath, seems to me like they would have specifically mentioned 60fps on Switch 2 if it was going to be the case. Super disappointing, considering I just spent $500+ on a Switch 2 for these exact type of situations.

These graphics would look bad 25 years ago, they look horrendous in 2025. Like how did this even get made? Did the people that make it finish and say "yep this looks good" ?

I've wanted this game for years, the Switch's performance has kept me from buying though. Switch 2 upgrade could move me to finally buy

The changes to THPS4 and all of the missing music suck.... but the thing that annoyed me to the point I'm not going to buy until a deep deep discount is how they charged $20 to get the game a whopping 3 days early!... beyond scummy to nickle and dime your customers like that.

@riggah
You're way off. Racists are infinitely worse than dissatisfied video game fans wanting to be heard.

LRG and Carbon Engine are both complete trash. I love Tomba and Tomba 2, it sucks hard that incompetent boobs ended up with the rights.

Zelda notes is cool, and knocking 2 points off of the score for it is redick.

That looks atrocious. The mascots in the SNES version of NBA Jam looked better and that was 30 damn years ago. Kids aren't as stupid as these devs think they are... they know what a good game is (and isn't).

Yargh, we'll find a way matey.

Dysmantle.

I've been playing video games for 45 years and Dysmantle was some of the most fun I've ever had gaming. Ever play a game that you feel was like tailor made for you? That's how Dysmantle is for me. It goes on sale for like $6 or $7 and it is so worth it.

Love puzzle platformers and Bioshock, but "circuitry puzzles" are so tripe.

$666 for some cheap tchotchkes. A fool and his money....

Interesting it got an 8/10, the 6 or 7 other reviews I have read have all been pretty negative.

I hope these companies realize how many sales they're going to be losing by doing this crap. Lame lame lame.

Surprise? Gamecube games getting added to NSO has been heavily speculated since Switch 2's inception. It was about as surprising as Luigi being included in the new Mario Kart game .

Pretty mediocre with a bunch of stuff that everyone already knew about/expected. No new 2d or 3d Mario. No new Zelda. Mario Kart World looks cool, but it's just not enough for a launch title.

DK saved the direct for being a complete bust for me.

Besides MP4 (which we already knew about, and which we inexplicably didn't get a release date for), there was not another single game that even remotely interested me.

1/10, awful direct. bring on Switch 2 ASAP

I love Motorhead, but if I never hear "Ace of Spades" again in my life, I'm 100% good with that.

I don't expect every song from the OG's, but good lord they are missing so damn many, and the new additions are hot garbage.

I was planning on buying a PS5 almost entirely for this game.... after hearing how THPS4 has been Flanderized into an entirely different game, my hype levels are completely gone.

Well that's super disappointing. Why in the bloody hell do these bum ass sub-par devs get put in charge of handling games from a beloved franchise when they are obviously not up to the task?? Absolutely pathetic.

On the slim chance a dev happens to be reading this: PLEASE LISTEN TO THE THPS FANS AND FIX YOUR EGREGIOUS MISTAKE AND ADD CAREER MODE BACK TO THPS4!

I rarely complain about price.... but $25 is laughable. Good game though, wait for a deep discount.

I know there are people that really love WL 4, but I always found it a major disappointment after the absolute gems that were WL2 and 3.

Mediocre port/10. Shame on Nintendo for letting a mid-tier (at best) developer like Forever Entertainment work on one of their most beloved franchises.

"Secrets"??? There was absolutely nothing secret about the way Nintendo showed off any of those things in the trailer.

@Deviant-Dork

It's one of the most beloved games of all time, so yeah I'd say it's "actually good"

I'll be shocked if even one of those games gets released in 2025. Level 5 has delayed release dates so many times you'd have to be a fool to take anything they say at face value.

I had a lot of fun with this one too. People that dismissed it for not being and NES Remix game, but they missed the point, while it's very similar... this game is also a completely different thing.

@IronMan30

The Switch demo ran great (which makes the issues with the full release even more frustrating) though , when you say it "had not so great performance" what exactly are you referring to?

@rvcolem1

It's difficulty is on par with the other games in the series. As with most Kirby games, the option to ramp up the difficulty is in the post-game content.

Game looks nothing like a "Metroidvania" unless every single action/adventure game with some gated progression is now considered one.

Having "metroidvania structure to the exploration" doesn't make it a "Metroidvania", that is just one single element of the genre.

Nintendo Switch owners once again getting the shaft.

I really wanted to like this one, but it's a 5/10 at best. The dungeons are as mediocre as they come for top down 2d Zelda-like dungeons.

Home? I have no home. Hunted. despised. living like an animal! The jungle is my home. But I shall show the world that I can be its master! I shall perfect my own race of people. A race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world!

I bought the first one on the day of release..... and still haven't played it yet.

Video Pinball is a gem, been waiting for them to add it, will happily purchase the game now.

Here's your controller bro: Gamecube Edition. The d-pad screams "cheaply made third-party controller", and looks painful to play with.

Jools is a flake, but Mutant Mudds is awesome and this looks fun, I'll pick up when it's on sale.

@JalapenoSpiceLife
If you didn't like Pizza Tower, I can wholeheartedly guarantee you that you won't like Anton Blast.

I was expecting the worst, it was nowhere near as bad as some were making it out to be. Definitely not as bad as LA

I don't know about a "warm hug", but it definitely looks like a warm pile of something.

I'm a diehard Karate Kid fan, would have happily bought this day 1..... however the ridiculous price tag (which is something I hardly ever complain about) is an absolute joke. On to the wish list it goes.

"and a no-brainer for lovers of the original."

Gonna have to strongly disagree with you on that. I'm a diehard fan of the OG game and find this sequel to be inferior in nearly every aspect. There's nothing offensively bad about it, but the entire game just feels, for a lack of a better descriptor, soulless.

Expected, but disappointing nonetheless.

Oh boy, more release dates.... that they have zero intention of honoring.

Jack Black is a talentless hack.

@mr_somewhere

Their track record for the Switch has been spotty at best the last couple years. The Switch ports of Operation Galuga and River City Girls 2 were atrocious.

So damn happy! Insta-purchase for me.
