@Lizuka The fact that people are getting all defensive with "lets see you do better" shows off how this franchise has apparently fallen. Nintendo first party and Metroid should be a gold standard in gaming, an example of AAA studio quality at it's finest. "Lets see you do better" should never even be a notion, it's like telling people to make better classical music than a renown symphony orchestra, that should be the highest professional standard, not something to suggest random people should match if they're disappointed.

This sounds like Halo Infinite campaign: Nintendo edition.

Now this is the version I was waiting for! I was always happy with the One X enhanced Xbox version but having it portable and running in 60fps? Yes please!

@KayFiOS Lets face it, if this game wasn't published by Nintendo hardly anyone would have bought it and it would have been quickly ignored or forgotten.

@Gabe250 Okay? I was simply giving my opinion about the game here, don't see why it needs to be one size fits all.

Didn't see the appeal of this at all, the forced motion control gimmick feels like it's so wii era, not at all what I am looking for on my Switch 2. Just give me games I can comfortably play handheld.

Well this is a take. Not a good one, but it's an opinion I guess.

I have come to like these CRT filters for old games because they really need it to look the way they were intended to look, especially on big modern displays.

@Dragxdrive That sounds more like what I did with my old Switch Lite. I had it loaded up with games and took it offline before the digital game card update. My Switch OLED was loaded up with digital game cards and updates/DLC for my physical games and then I took that offline. Now my Switch 2 is my only online and active Switch.

All I would want is an unlocked frame rate

@Anachronism Yes, that is exactly what I have done with my old Switch OLED.

Your poll didn't even include my top 3

@TreasuredChildofGod I fail to see the connection between painting a bikini on a cartoon star and that. You must have a meltdown every time you visit a pool or a beach.

Stuff like this isn't a big deal to me, just some temporary licensing deals with guest character DLC, I could totally live without it.

I lost all interest in these after the Wii U.

That's pretty funny and it's completely harmless, I mean what's the issue, some fake bikini lines on a cartoon star?

Reviews like this make it apparent who grew up with and enjoyed the 90's arcade era and who didn't. Seems like some people simply don't understand the appeal and nature of classic arcade games. They were never meant to be games for you to sit down and play for hours on end, the appeal was always how quickly you could start playing them and how fun they were for a quick gaming session. The focus with most 90's arcade games was offering a variety of different experiences, like driving a tank, shooting guns, racing vehicles, playing sports, ect.

I had a feeling this one wouldn't sell as well.

Managed to get some time in on this and while it was nice to test it out I really don't see why the AI racing demo segment needs to be locked behind an active service connection. Definitely the lame part of that, so you really need to plan some time around these service dates if you want to even demo some basics against AI.

The concept of a timed Xbox exclusive in this day and age makes me laugh.

@dennabeht Look unless you're good enough to be making money off playing games like this, there's far more worthwhile things to take pride in than how good you are at Fortnite.

@Simu001 Same. You can tell they try to shill these games really hard right now as well. These "games" are basically glorified micro-transaction economies, there's always some new dated pop culture IP for them to be cashing in on, it's become the video game equivalent of those Funko Pops.

@SalvorHardin This definitely feels like a zombie era for pop culture. Like they're trying to cash in on everything they can in games like Fortnite and Call of Duty, parading around all this recycled content for what it's worth.

@PikaPhantom That's basically my thoughts and disappointment as well. Couldn't really care less about the game collection, I already got those games on PS5, but the controller is definitely the biggest disappointment for me, I was expecting something so much more appealing for a special edition, and something Nintendo related as well, like a Donkey Kong edition or something. And yeah, the lack of any color variety is a bit odd coming from all the variety we had on the first Switch.

Kind of an ugly controller and lol at some physical collection with no actual physical games.

Kinda neat but also such an odd crossover lol

Never understood the need or desire for mouse control on a console. That is what I have a PC for.

Looks very similar to Mudrunners/Snowrunners, like maybe a little too similar.

This is one of those fighting games that was interesting and hyped for a brief time, soft of a mid-90's early 3D era thing, because so many games were coming out back then that just overshadowed what came before them. I think 97's Soul Blade (later known as Soul Calibur) is what really did this franchise in.

This has been my one and only physical Switch 2 purchase so far. With them managing to put the entire game on a physical card I just had to go for it.

@PurpulTyeDye Yeah but it would be nice to have something official so people don't have to pirate, something specifically designed for the task.

@cedarhyped I don't think aluminum keys justifies making the price 5-10 times more expensive. If that is really so important to you there's much cheaper options out there that offer the same thing.

Imagine if they made like a DS mini sort of console, like not exactly a mini console but in the same spirit as the SNES mini, being a modern take on that platform with a bunch of games installed on it.

@Viator_ I got an all aluminum (besides the keys) mechanical keyboard and it was like 60-70$. In fact most nice keyboards seem to be in the $60 - $150 range. This is just really overpriced.

To this day DOA is probably my favorite 3D fighting series. Tekken was always up there with it but that always felt more 2D, Tekken 4 was the only one with more of a true 3D feel like DOA.

To quote Naked Snake: you're Croc'd, aren't ya?

Yeah that Picross game, not exactly easy to play, the language barrier really hits it's accessibility.

Definitely buying this on PS5 or Xbox because the 30fps lock was what I had against the original console versions.

I don't know why some people are so shocked and outraged at Brock using steroids, most pro wrestlers were using steroids at one point and many probably still are.

@Yosher Yeah I am willing to bet the majority of the characters are just variations.

Cool I guess for kids, couldn't imagine wearing that as a grown adult.

Problem this game has, on Switch at least, is how they released it as a Switch 1 title and not a Switch 2 title. Yeah there's a lot more Switch 1 consoles out there, but I am willing to bet the majority of demand for new games is on Switch 2 by now.

I sure hope they go back to releasing stuff like Namco System 22 games, that was actually fun and interesting. This, I mean cool for some of those retro enthusiasts who like games this old but I got tired of all this really old stuff.

@AverageGamer Yeah, that makes sense. Good evaluation.

@Fighting_Game_Loser I could never understand this mentality because even unstable higher frame rates look better to me in action. If the stable frame rate means having it low enough to where it looks rough and blurry, what's the point? People talk about screen tearing but 30fps feels like constant screen tearing.

I'll take unstable 60fps over a fixed slideshow aka 30fps

I actually like this more than Hollow Knight, it's more my style and this feels a lot more accessible. I like how this is more rogue-like as well, makes each death feel like a new opportunity to try something different, while deaths in Hollow Knight can just feel frustrating, only offering an opportunity to learn from your mistakes. I really enjoyed the original Hades so it doesn't surprise me to find this one enjoyable as well. Glad I waited until the Switch 2 release to buy this.

@PinderSchloss Yeah that is crazy, it seems like Reggie made such a big impact and became such a well-known figure, while Bowser was just a blip on the radar and seemed like he just came and went.

This guy was a weak leader, his tenure was brief.

@Bizzyb Yeah it's like how great is this remastering really going to look on old Switch 1 hardware? 4K and faster fps is literally the #1 thing these remasters have to offer for notable improvements.
