@Ramouz I don't think the development of these apps are gonna take any time away from the possibility of having Switch 2 upgrades for those games. On top of that, these apps will more than likely be handled by different teams.
@Flashlink99 I just want to point out that the PC port of Definitive Edition is about 23GB and is currently locked behind the Microsoft Store on PC. The 11GB you're referring to will be the standard version of the game what was also released on Xbox 360 and PS3.
@Grackler Might be better to try with headphones if you can. The game does say it has mono, stereo and surround like you said. I did listen to a couple of tracks and noticed a little in audio panning for stereo sound. With 3D, if there is quality differences, is it really enough to put it all on there again? Makes you question Nintendo with their choices.
@Grackler Are we sure the original isn't stereo? The N64 was easily capable of outputting audio in stereo and in some games, surround sound. Also, the sound difference wouldn't be that noticeable for the standard listener. So basically all this for one additional track we didn't get in the original.
@Scrubelicious It wasn't Team Ninja that were initially behind Metroid Prime 4, it was Bandai Namco. When the development restarted, then it went to Retro Studios.
Don't we have this through the original version? Why add the soundtrack again? Nintendo should've uploaded something that isn't there. Majora's Mask for example. That's a soundtrack that is needed to be on there.
@GoldenSunRM You know visual novels can incorporate other genres right? Also, they said it's a polite way of not getting made. I hope it's not them hating the genre. I know it's not for everyone but I wouldn't go that far.
@Ganner I'm still gonna get and play MP4 regardless whether or not Nintendo bring the other two to the platform as it looks brilliant, but I would rather them bring them to Switch before I play it, just to get more of the story of the Prime series.
I've finally gotten around to fully playing Metroid Prime Remastered for the first time. I do own the original GameCube release but I didn't touch it much and now with this playthrough, I regret doing that. One of the best action-adventure/Metroidvanias I've played. Please bring 2 and 3 to the Switch/Switch 2 Nintendo.
@EarthboundBenjy The Fire Temple chanting is a different situation compared to this. They changed that because the chanting had to do with an Islamic prayer. With Tetris, they simply changed the music for the sake of changing the music.
@TbobB That is true. EA has never really cared about Nintendo platforms and with the performance of the Nintendo Switch and hopefully success on the Switch 2, this will open their eyes and see that making their games and not half-assed versions will be successful for them.
I'm still curious about the version of Angel of Darkness we'll get on this collection. I'm wondering if Aspyr have done any work to it due to the original state the game was released in. Damn you Eidos Interactive and your deadlines.
I like Nintendo but they can't keep doing this. All those people who worked on the original project deserve just as much credit as to those who worked on the remaster.

We need a jukebox or a playlist so we can manage which tracks we want to hear.

Re: Little Nightmares III October Update Now Available For Switch And Switch 2
@babybilly Supermassive Games owns the IP of The Quarry, so it's down to them or whoever owns them.
Re: Little Nightmares III October Update Now Available For Switch And Switch 2
@the_beaver Well it would be down to Sony for an Until Dawn port as they own the IP.
Re: Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Switch And Switch 2 Docked Performance Revealed, Mouse Mode Confirmed

Re: Even Memes Are Getting The Metroidvania Treatment Now
@Coalescence I want that game.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Officially Reveals Mega Man Season Pass Collab
@GoldenSunRM SpongeBob, Turtles and Avatar I understand because of Paramount.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Officially Reveals Mega Man Season Pass Collab
@JR150 Does it matter what's canon or not? In some form of official capacity, the Blue Blur and the Blue Bomber have met.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Officially Reveals Mega Man Season Pass Collab
I love how it says that the Blue Blur meets the Blue Bomber. Not as if they haven't met before in Smash or even the Archie comics.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Has Been Officially Confirmed For Switch 2
@SBandy1 Give them time. I'm sure they'll come.
Re: He-Man Is The Next '80s Icon Getting His Own Stunning Arcade-Style Retro Revival
@dskatter I think I understand. Let's just see how this turns out.
Re: He-Man Is The Next '80s Icon Getting His Own Stunning Arcade-Style Retro Revival
@dskatter They're not bad. Far from the worse.
Re: He-Man Is The Next '80s Icon Getting His Own Stunning Arcade-Style Retro Revival
How many people will lose interest in this because it's Limited Run publishing it?
Re: He-Man Is The Next '80s Icon Getting His Own Stunning Arcade-Style Retro Revival
@Princess_Lilly I still go back to that once in a while.
Re: Atari Announces Bubsy 4D From 'Demon Turf' Developer Fabraz
To be fair to the bobcat, this actually doesn't look bad and I'm looking forward to this one.

@Smithicus Nothing wrong with a visual novel.
Re: Review: Tron: Catalyst (Switch) - A Repetitive & Forgettable Time On The Grid
@DwaynesGames It is a visual novel.

Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 'GameCube Controller Adapter' Compatibility Confirmed
I've got that adapter. Got it with Anash Ultimate along with the controller and it's also great for Dolphin.
Re: Opinion: Oh No, I'm Not A Fan Of Switch 2's Mouse Mode At All
I just want to point out that Metroid Prime 4 isn't an FPS but a First-Person Action-Adventure game.
Re: Yep, Metroid Prime 4's Box Art For Switch 2 Is... Corrupted
@Flashlink99 Nice. I think this is how I'll be playing it. I've never played anything higher than 60fps as I only have a 60hz TV.
Re: Yep, Metroid Prime 4's Box Art For Switch 2 Is Ruined
@IronMan30 Isn't it also 120fps in handheld mode?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (29th March)
@Ganner Yeah you're probably right. Either way I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Will You Choose In Legends: Z-A?
They should've chosen a starter from 3 different gens like in Arceus. Out of the three I'll be choosing Chikorita or Totodile.

Re: Reminder: Sonic X Shadow Generations 'Sonic 3 Movie Pack' DLC Now Available
@DollyrotsFan1 Sonic Unleashed as yet to be re-released on current platforms. I believe it is backwards compatible on Xbox.
