@Wheatly I think you are right. Seems worth £25 as clearly they have done a lot of work to it. That said, I just preordered with Shopto for £29. I'm concerned that the physical will only be a limited run. Seems worth the extra 4 quid for that.
Why do people feel the need to comment that they have had their Switches since 1987 and have experienced no drift? What's the point? Are you just flexing or do you think that means there isn't an issue?
@Dom_31 I really thought I preferred World but having gone back to it recently it feels so slow in comparison. Still a brilliant game and obviously looks much better but I think I prefer Rise.
@the_beaver If the amount of talking in 5 puts you off then 4 isn't for you either. It is just as dialog heavy, if not more so, especially in the opening hours.
Final Fantasy IX. Everything about it is so nostalgic for me. Transforms me from a grumpy 35 year old man to a 13 year old again (especially that title music).
@SJW It's coming to Game pass in January but it's just the base game. Sunbreak will be released later in the year. I doubt that will be on Game pass. DLC generally is not.
All the post launch content for the base game should be there though.
I remember a time not so long ago when a few users on here would be defending NFTs as the future. Wonder where they are now. Probably too busy holding the bag to leave comments.
It's so strange to me that Sonic is popular again. My kids love it. It's like going back to my childhood in the 90's and ignoring the 25 years of mediocrity in the middle.
When will Publishers learn? It's ridiculous how often this is happening now. It's usually not the devs fault, it's the idiots in suits beholden to shareholders.
Amazing. My son is 7 on April 1st and thought he would have to wait a week to take some friends to see this. Can't wait to tell him he can actually go on his birthday.
Wow, those are insane numbers. Is Splatoon (not so secretly) becoming Nintendo's biggest IP? For refence AC:NH sold an estimated 5 million copies in its launch month.
Games on Switch should just be locked to 30fps now, unless very graphically simplistic. I play Monster Hunter Rise regularly and that game looks and runs great.
Just watch a YouTube recap of the Sky trilogy. You aren't missing much by not playing them anyway. I enjoyed the story of those games but the actual gameplay segments were nothing special.
@5th313ment Maybe flooded was a tad hyperbolic. Off the top of my head I can think of the Doom games (all 5 of them), the Quake games, Ion Fury, Dusk, Project Warlock, Immortal Redneck, Prodeus out soon. Others I've probably missed.
Not saying that's a bad thing though. If these are your types of games then you are eating well on Switch.
That's seriously impressive. I can only assume they have compressed the audio files significantly. There is so much spoken dialog in this game that it must take up a large portion of the overall file size.

Re: Where To Buy Metroid Prime Remastered On Switch
@gaga64 Eh. I already own it there but have hardly played it. Looks very rough on modern TVs and I can't stand the control scheme.
Seems worth the extra cash for the convenience of having the game portable and the work they have done to it.

Re: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Gets Resurrected On Switch This Summer
An absolute masterpiece. Cannot wait to play through it again.
Re: Octopath Traveler II Demo Available On Switch Today
@northofthewall Cheers. You aren't wrong but it's one of my favourite games of all time so think I'll bite at that price. Was expecting £49.99.
On topic: Will definitely check out the demo for OT2. I'm interested to see how they have intertwined the stories this time around.
Re: Octopath Traveler II Demo Available On Switch Today
@Ryu_Niiyama Already are. Can't even get on the store in a browser. I just wanna check the Metroid Prime price in the UK... Anyone know?

Re: Monster Hunter Rise Sales Surpass 12 Million Units Worldwide

Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak's Fourth Free Title Update Is Out Next Week
@wanghosom It's not a Nintendo exclusive. Why put resources into content that can only be put on one platform?
If they were going to do that it would have made sense back before it the game came out on PC.
Re: Billy Mitchell Photos Emerge Showing Non-Original Donkey Kong Hardware Apparently Used For Disputed Scores
I don't care what anyone says. Nobody does it better than Billy Mitchell. He is the undisputed champ of making hot sauce.
Shame about the video game cheating though.
Re: Astroneer's Story Reaches Conclusion With Free 'Awakening' Update, Out Now
Does this game have a good single player campaign? I've always fancied it but worry it would be too open ended for me.
Re: Video: We've Played SteamWorld Build - Is It Any Good?
@HeadPirate I'm assuming you meant 'Steamworld' series.
I strongly disagree with your statement. I found Quest to be average but Dig 2 and Heist are some of the best games available on Switch.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 21st)
Just bought Persona 4 Golden so I'll be hopping between that and Monster Hunter Rise.

Re: Mini Review: Jitsu Squad - A Joyous Love Letter To '90s Capcom, Held Back By Technical Issues
@RubyCarbuncle While I don't disagree with you, there is no reason why this game should not run well. It's hardly graphically intensive.

Re: Ion Fury Follow-Up Phantom Fury Announced For Nintendo Switch
@nessisonett Sorry to see so many people attacking your viewpoint because it's different to theirs. The hypocrisy on show is staggering.
On topic, the game looks decent but the market seems to be flooded with these types of shooters at the minute.
Re: Square Enix Announces PowerWash Simulator For Nintendo Switch
This game is genuinely very good. It's like a whole game of the Mario Sunshine levels in which you have to clean up the gloopy mess.
Re: Review: Tinykin - A Wholesome Platforming Spin On Pikmin
Just finished it on Xbox. My GOTY so far. Brilliant 3D platformer.
