These big corporate types always seem to fail-up and get passed around.

I feel like variable is always preferable over a 30fps lock. I could never understand what some people love about locked frame rate that low, it's never smooth looking, and it's hard to notice screen tearing when the camera movement is all choppy and blurry.

Considering the 30fps lock I am glad I bought this on my PS5 Pro. 60fps makes a big difference when it comes to fast paced action games.

@X68000 Yeah same I have long wished Sega would release a proper Model 2 and 3 arcade collection, so many great games that have never seen a home release. At least the Yakuza games give us some of them.

@KoopaTheGamer Whenever I see people claim analog triggers are only useful for racing games, I think that tells me a lot more about the sort of games they do or don't play. If they weren't good for anything else they wouldn't have become a standard, but they are a standard everywhere outside of Nintendo for good reason.

I think Sony got it perfected with their dualsense triggers. They can be as clicky as devs want them to be or as analog as they want them to be with a great variety of feedback that really adds to the immersion.

Nintendo simply has a very outdated approach to them and it feels like they're stuck in the past with their mentality that defends a lack of them. Reminds me of when people claimed there was no need for a right analog stick saying it was only useful for FPS. In the end it was just people being defensive of outdated controller design.

I don't like the Playstation analog stick layout, I find the Xbox/Nintendo layout to be more comfortable.

I don't think I have seen cope quite like the 30fps crowd, worse is better apparently if Nintendo can't hit 60.

@massimax Yeah being a racing game fan there is a good reason why I was very critical of Nintendo for still not using analog triggers on the Switch 2, but the good thing is that this game is simcade enough to where you just need to turn on some traction control and antilock and you're fine.

@KayFiOS Having a game run at 60fps vs 30 isn't some difficult task, having games run at higher FPS is just a standard in PC gaming and all it does is make games look smoother.

Smooth 30fps is an oxymoron anyways, 30fps never looks smooth because it is 30fps, it's always going to look slow, rough, blurry and skippy as the frame rate isn't fast enough to look smooth in action. It's this fact that made the 30fps lock always seem like a pointless feature, at 30 the camera movement looks rough and blurry enough to where I never notice any supposed improvements a lock would provide.

That and this is an old Switch 1 game, seems ridiculous to imply a Switch 2 update couldn't optimize it for 60fps. I mean they took a notable amount of time working on this update, makes me wonder what they were working on.

30fps is a massive disappointment, 60fps was a basic expectation for this update. Honestly, this definitely isn't good enough to get me back into the massive timesink that is this game. I played this extensively around the covid era and I doubt this update will be impressive enough to get me back into it when I have so many other "cozy" games to get into.

Glad they're bringing this back with native Switch 2 support but this game also feels so "been there done that" after having played it so extensively around covid.

EA used to be the worst company in gaming. Lately it's been Ubisoft.

By this point it's like who cares, the latest COD has been a disaster.

That menu really doesn't look like it would scale down to a Switch screen well, and the gameplay doesn't seem like it would work well with a controller either. I mean yeah there's mouse mode, but I didn't get a Switch 2 to detach the joycons and play games that way.

Could never understand why Switch gamers suddenly want to be playing games like a PC.

Kind of a lame color alternative and I don't think it really matters when it's this subtle. It's like they went with one of the worst combos they could have came up with as the first alternative.

Old South Park would have made fun of present day South Park for doing this.

GRID Autosport was the best Switch 1 racing game, would make sense for this to become the best Switch 2 racing game.

This reminds me of why I lost interest in gaming sites.

I would simply place it as my biggest disappointment as far as Nintendo games go lately. It's like we waited an entire generation for this game and it's a total disappointment.

I already got classic Space Invaders with the collection that was released on Switch a while back along with most other versions of the game. Not the best choice, I usually go for ACA games for stuff that hasn't been released elsewhere.

It's a free update so yeah definitely worthwhile especially given how it's a relatively small download and a great game to have around.

Give them a break, the game has only been out for about 15 years.

@Danrenfroe2016 I think the physics in GRID are far better than NFS and Burnout.

Brutal! Surprised this game is a game to have performance issues.

GRID seems to be a good fit for the Switch when it comes to a simcade racer. It could never really do true racing sims due to the lack of analog triggers, but they can work if you keep the traction and braking assists on. I felt like this game was under-appreciated as a simcade racer this gen and it's nice to see it getting some attention again. Might have to pick this up just to have it as a handheld racer.

Since when was Rayman 2 overlooked?

Anyways I always thought of it as a Dreamcast game, one of the best platformers it had.

@burninmylight Yup the people who complain about people complaining. I always hated that, it's like they want standards to be as low as possible.

@ArcadeSixties I don't see how excepting to get what you paid for is "child-like behavior." If anything being okay with companies not including a complete product is a sign of low/juvenile standards. Demanding a complete product is how responsible adults approach their purchases.

@Athropos If it's not related to the file size then there is no good reason to not include it as storage limits is literally the only good excuse they could possibly have, anything else is just a lame excuse.

It's a great game and everybody loves it, but no more studio that's it gone!

No wonder I no longer care about any of these dev teams, even their own publishers don't care about them.

How hard could it have been to include an N64 game? They are not exactly large by modern storage standards.

Cool I guess if you're a massive Sonic fan but I never saw the desire for a themed keyboard.

This would have been a lot cooler if they let us change the music with tracks from those games.

Weak, out of all the Xbox games they could give us on Switch 2 they give us this trash?

I miss when we would get Wario platformers, Warioware ruined his character, no longer getting any real Wario games.

@Nep-Nep-Freak Nintendo can be odd about this sort of stuff. I remember Mario Golf going from 2.0 to 3.0 to 4.0 while other games go from 1.0.1 to 1.0.1.10 to 1.0.1.20

It should have never been released in it's present state, they just didn't care, they only wanted to get a quick buck off Switch 2 owners.

@Jeronan Nah, I think they had talented people working on their games, and clearly released this port as just a cash grab knowing it wasn't up to acceptable standards.

Just yet another reason not to buy this game or anything Ubisoft puts out anymore. They are in a disastrous state for a reason and it's because their leadership is inept and quality control barely exists.

I wasn't aware Doom Slayer had a voice actor lol

I'm doing my part!

@Insert_Username For me I think we simply spend enough time being constantly connected to everyone as it is, and I enjoy having gaming as a solo activity to get away from it all.

Never saw the appeal of this style of arcade controller. I get how it can be more efficient, but having the arcade feel of an arcade stick was the entire appeal for me. For something like this I would rather just use a good d-pad controller and call it a day.

@Porco It's Nintendo's Halo Infinite, that's how I would describe this.

My take on Metroid Prime 4: It's Nintendo's Halo Infinite.

@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.
