@nhSnork I did this crazy thing called - not complain about a free game, tried it out, and then gave an opinion which was fair. Shocking stuff on the internet.
So... I just ran through Jamjam and.... it's... a platformer. And can be fun for about 30 minutes. But, it's clearly unfinished. It gets to level 22 and then just... stops. Tells you to try other modes that don't exist. Bleh.
@obijuankanoobie I bought Wii games on the Wiishop and haven't lost them. Can I play them on the Switch? No, but that's a hardware thing. Same way I can't play PS3 downloaded games on my PS5. But I can play them on my PS3 (and re-download them).
If steam games are incompatible with current hardware they won't work either. It's pretty simple stuff.
I can't believe so many of these games won't be on Switch 2. Is this just due to Nintendo not getting dev kits out on time? Or publishers and devs not pushing the hardware?
@Suketoudara Rocket: Robot on Wheels is fantastic. It's made by Sucker Punch (if I recall correctly), so I don't know if there are any licensing issues.
didn't say I was going to play. It takes less than a minute to download that day's game. If there's nothing I'm interested in I've wasted 10 minutes on redeeming games I'll never play.
@FragRed This was my thought immediately. What does this mean for movie theatres? Will WB movies not be in theatres anymore? Or will they just keep them as separate brands? Theatre under WB, straight to streaming Netflix?
This is the first week of the reduced price, Japanese only PS5. Let's see what happens in the next couple weeks. Same story happened week one of the PS5 pro.
1. PGA is every other year, so there isn't going to be a 2k26, hence why they release the 25 version. 2. 2K must be relatively happy with the performance of WWE2K25 and NBA 2K25 if they're going to bring PGA over as well. This bodes well for future sports games.
Switch 2 now has WWE, NBA, NFL, will have PGA, will likely have MLB... that just leaves the NHL game, I thnk.
The cheaper Japanese PS5 will be interesting. it's all digital, which is the worst sellingmodel in Japan. Does the price drop offset that inthe consumer's eye?
Chromagun was a lot of fun. I wouldn't say it was the hardest game ever, but the puzzles were fun, and the environment provided a nice push through the game.
@SillyG rightly or wrongly (wrongly) Nintendo is pricing the switch 2 edition higher. So, therefore, Nintendo see value in releasing 2 skus as they feel Switch 1 only players shouldn't be paying extra.
@nessisonett Thanks for letting me know. It's funny, because when playing handheld I actually have to move the sticks once or even twice to keep the screen from lowering brightness thinking I've walked away.
DEfinitely saw Dark Knight, Dark Knight Returns and The Batman. Didn't catch any Batman Begins, or any of the 80's/90's movies. Also referencing Adam West Batman.
The cons don't seem enough to warrant an 8. Review reads like a 9. I watched a couple of youtube vids on it, and saw two very different experiences. One was not good at all, the other looked great.
Also - if you're going to upcharge for early access... maybe be ready for early access?
@Fiergala if you say you've only used 35 gB of your PS5 internal storage, please tell me your trick. Because every time I put a disc into the PS5, whether a PS4 or PS5 game, the full game is loaded onto the system first. Yes, even if the game is fully on disc.
I didn't play the originals, never had a Playstation, but I'm recently playing the N-Sane trilogy. Having fun with it. This may be true, but it's not hampering my enjoyment.
@BaldB3lper78 While there may be truth to that on some games, this is over 64 GB so it wasn't going to fit anyway. Switch 1 version will likely be a 1 GB card, dling the rest. So, what's the difference?
Maybe it's just me, but I've also found it hard to find the 3rd party games in stock anywhere here in Toronto. I've yet to see Hitman, Yakuza, Bravely Default actually available to buy anywhere.
It's a huge missed opportunity. Fortunately, a lot of the fixes should be simple and could be patched in.
The big problem, though, is that there's no racing in free roam. I was looking forward to something Burnout Paradise style, but there's none of that. And no way to track which missions I've done, how many I've completed in an area, etc? It's crazy.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Massive Switch 2 eShop Discount Was An "Error"
@Doctor-Moo That was my opinion too. My credit card turns over after Christmas so I was gonna wait until then. Now I'm kicking myself.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th December)
Started Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories last night and it's a cute adventure game.
Also working through Enslaved: Odyssey to the West on PS Plus through PS3 streaming and am REALLY enjoying it.
Finally - started Tractile on DSiWare. Not sure how I feel about that one yet.
And forgot Syphon Filter. The original. That is... taking some getting used to.

@Kiz3000 How long is the demo time wise?

Can it be a free upgrade from the physical? Or is it only an upgrade for anniversary edition?

Re: No Gravity Games Is Giving Away 10 Free Switch Games This Month (North America)
I'll get the games just in case one of the few that are interesting are added. There's no downside.

I have one and 2 on Switch 1 already, unless there's some kind of discount, don't think I'm doing this.
Re: Switch 2 Black Friday Deals Are A Bit 'Meh', But Here Are The Best We've Seen
In Canada, deals are absolutely brutal. SW: Outlaws only 25% off. Best deal is probably Yakuza 0 for about 33% off.
Re: PGA Tour 2K25 Is Teeing Off On Switch 2
So.... I take 2 things from this.
1. PGA is every other year, so there isn't going to be a 2k26, hence why they release the 25 version.
2. 2K must be relatively happy with the performance of WWE2K25 and NBA 2K25 if they're going to bring PGA over as well. This bodes well for future sports games.
Switch 2 now has WWE, NBA, NFL, will have PGA, will likely have MLB... that just leaves the NHL game, I thnk.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sold 5.8 Million Copies Globally In Its First Week

Downloading!
Re: Japanese Charts: Surprise, Surprise, Pokémon Legends: Z-A Leaves The Competition In The Dust
@SillyG rightly or wrongly (wrongly) Nintendo is pricing the switch 2 edition higher. So, therefore, Nintendo see value in releasing 2 skus as they feel Switch 1 only players shouldn't be paying extra.

Re: SEGA Shares A Detailed Look At Yakuza Kiwami & Kiwami 2 In New Switch 2 Gameplay Footage
I just started 0 and I'm really enjoying the combat... and the story... but the looooong cutscenes.... don't work when i'm playing in 5-10 min bursts.
Re: Switch 2 Sales In The US Are Outpacing The Original Console By 75%
@Lord This is just US, the 15M goal is worldwide. Well on pace to hit target.
Re: Developers Reportedly Still Struggling To Get Switch 2 Dev Kits
If it meant 10K fewer consoles sold and 10K more dev kits available, should have been an easy choice.
Re: LEGO Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight Swoops Onto Switch 2 Next Year
@MatoFilipovic Ah thanks. Didn't catch those references. Overall, this looks like fun.

Re: UK Charts: And Just Like That, Mario Kart World Is Back In The Lead
As others have noted, seeing a 27% share on Madden (I get it... it's the UK, this may not be representative of the US) is quite the surprise.
Re: Review: CRKD x Gibson Guitar Controller For Switch + Switch 2 - Great Quality, At A Price
This is 100% confirmed to work with GH games on PS3?? If so, I'm 100% interested.
Although - it may just be cheaper to buy a couple dongles off ebay. I have my Les PAul's, just not the dongles.
Re: Mini Review: Is This Seat Taken? (Switch) - Sit Down And Get Comfy With This Short, Simple Puzzler

Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase August 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
Really enjoyed it. DLed the demo for Mina, and Well Dweller, Ball Pit, Herdling look cool.
I actually bought Is This Seat Taken, got it from Colombia Eshop for $1.50. Excited to give it a shot. Looks like my type of puzzle game.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
I don't think Goldman will be there, I think it's a THQ game. That said, it looks amazing, and I may actually buy day 1.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Thursday 7th August 2025
This should be interesting, as we've heard most Indie devs don't have a Switch 2 kit yet. Does that mean this is Switch 1 focused?
Re: Switch 2 Has Sold "More Than 6 Million" Units, And Almost As Many Copies Of Mario Kart World
@Fiergala if you say you've only used 35 gB of your PS5 internal storage, please tell me your trick. Because every time I put a disc into the PS5, whether a PS4 or PS5 game, the full game is loaded onto the system first. Yes, even if the game is fully on disc.
Re: Crash Bandicoot Co-Creator Believes The Remakes "Botched" The Jump Mechanics

Re: EA Sports FC 26 Brings A New Season To Switch 2 This September
@BaldB3lper78 While there may be truth to that on some games, this is over 64 GB so it wasn't going to fit anyway. Switch 1 version will likely be a 1 GB card, dling the rest. So, what's the difference?
Re: Feature: Every Switch 2 Launch Game, Ranked
@NintendoPete Did the same. Should be well worth it.
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
Maybe it's just me, but I've also found it hard to find the 3rd party games in stock anywhere here in Toronto. I've yet to see Hitman, Yakuza, Bravely Default actually available to buy anywhere.
Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?
It's a huge missed opportunity. Fortunately, a lot of the fixes should be simple and could be patched in.
The big problem, though, is that there's no racing in free roam. I was looking forward to something Burnout Paradise style, but there's none of that. And no way to track which missions I've done, how many I've completed in an area, etc? It's crazy.
Re: Switch 2's Best-Selling eShop Games So Far
@Duncanballs You don't need to have the cart in to play the game? If so - can do this with a library copy too, theoretically??
