@sethfranum You mean the Hogwarts video? I just watched it and they say Switch 2 is sometimes in line with Xbox Series S and sometimes with PS4. And that is true. Series S footage definitely looks better on that video.

And I disagree that they dismissed the Switch 2. They have said many great things about it so far.

@sethfranum Have you watched the whole video? They praise the game.

Now that I actually watched the video, this is indeed clickbait…..the review is mostly glowing praise! And actually has made me want to get the game sooner rather than later.

I don’t get the comments by some that this kind of game is not a good fit for DK, or that Wario would have been a much better fit. I think DK using his arms this way is very appropriate. If anything, the thing that I am not keen on is the graphical style/colour palette. When I look at it I see traces of Odyssey and many more traces of BOTW/TOTK. It doesn’t „look“ like a DK game to me. If I were the reviewer, which happily I am not, I would be docking a point for this rather than any slight frame rate drops.

I also barely played Bowser’s Fury but got back into it now on Switch 2.

See, this is what I meant when I said I am looking forward to proper Switch 2 games and not Switch 1 upgrades.

@illmatic20xx I am not talking about the performance, just the graphics.

@SalvorHardin I didn't say that's all I want. I said I expect better graphics in future games where they have been built specifically for the Switch 2. As much as I like MKW it doesn't scream new console game to me at all.

I think you can tell too. Neither look like real Switch 2 games to me. I am expecting much better games graphics wise in the future.

@Solid_Python Just curious, how do you know it's running at 60fps? 🤔

@roy130390 Eh? I said Welcome Tour, not Mario Kart World.

I think MKW is a solid 8, perhaps even a 9.

Seems a bit overly harsh given that you gave Welcome Tour 8/10...that's a 6 at best!

Love mine and have had no issues so far. I do wish two big Nintendo games had been released at launch and then DK coming later as is it. Hope there's something I like coming out soonish. However, I am emjoying MKW and playing some of the upgraded games so I can wait a few months!

So many smaller games companies shutting down lately….not good at all!

Psst, whoever wrote this article, it's good practice to explain what VRR is too. At the very least, what an abbreviation stands for should be written in brackets the first time it is used.

I received an email from Nintendo asking me to review the game. I did and got 30 platinum points for doing so. This is the way to make your frustrations known and give them feedback.

I have really enjoyed playing it so far.

@Olliemar28 Yes, to be clear was not a criticism of this site. I meant generally, it’s time for Nintendo etc. to start providing that information because I think now we are possibly at the point where digital sales are greater than physical?

I think at this point we need charts that take digital sales into account as clearly more and more people have accepted the digital format now. For Switch 2 I doubt I will buy any physical media unless absolutely necessary.

Oh they were definitely positive here, as well as in other videos. I did feel they were a bit too negative about the lcd screen but the rest has been fair.

Anyway, this is good news. Haven’t had time to try the two Zelda games mentioned here but really looking forward to it plus Bowsers Fury and even Toad. And it got me back playing Odyssey which I am probably only halfway through from Switch 1 days!

So I am fine with no big new games except MKW as there’s still a lot of upgraded old stuff to enjoy.

Do any of the Splatoon games have a demo? Never played them.

PS5 sales are laughably bad in Japan.

@Pillowpants I feel the same way. Don’t understand why something like this needs to be a patent or why said patents get approved.

I caved and bought it, but it’s pretty boring and should have been free! It’s NOT worth the money.

I am guessing 40 Euro but probably 50 knowing Nintendo!

Was getting this anyway but even better now with three more tracks. Very good value for money!

Just had a go of MKW and Odyssey, looks fine to me for handheld mode. Overblown non-issue in my opinion.

Glad I play 99% docked. But probably I wouldn’t even notice these issues anyway.

I couldn’t care less if we have to wait years for the next big Mario. There are enough other good games!

I am playing it as we speak….. 🤭😛

I got the bundle, was not exactly cheap so just playing MKW and Switch 1 games at the moment. Thinking of getting Fantasy Life or Azuma but in no rush as still have a backlog.

Considering getting this game, does anyone have it on S2 and does it look good??

@Athropos unfortunately Cyberpunk is not for me. But played a bit more MKW now and enjoying it more. Am interested in Donkey Kong too.

I gave it a 9. Before I was thinking of getting it eventually down the line but now I will get it pretty soon.

@Medic_alert I ahree that S1 should be nowhere near S2 but so far I haven’t seen anything good on S2. I only have MKW and that doesn’t impress me much, mostly because MK8 already looked so good and still does. Although I can see clear differences when watching side by side videos. I am sure in time better releases will come along, I don’t need latest and greatest graphics, just want to feel I made the right choice getting a Switch 2.

@Axecon Now THIS would have been better than Welcome Tour!

Brilliant idea I think. Some artists out there will surely come up with some great stuff while I try to make a DK mug or something.

Some of these visuals are making me worry about the Switch 2! They just look like Switch 1 games to me!

@Scarmucci Maybe I am talking about the reboots….! 🤭

Wow, it’s more exciting than Dallas and Dynasty put together!

Am more interested in this game now after the direct.

As for Nintendolife, do we really need five and counting articles when surely one would do? 🤔

Why no mention of the Switch 1 Pro controller? 🤔

Am also not convinced yet as all we have seen his him bashing everything in sight. Also doesn’t look like much like a DK world to me so far.

How can something with shocking image quality still get a 7?!

Woohoo! Woohoooo!

@roboshort I was lucky enough to get the presale invite from Nintendo so I managed to get one. I got the bundle because no way was I going to pay that much for MKW.

Great news but am also disappointed with the high game prices. It means I will buy a lot less games for Switch 2 compared to Switch 1.

Have never played Splatoon but this new one might be for me.

Strange, no Fast Fusion at all? 🤔

I didn’t think Nintendolife would give this anything less than an 8 because it’s a Nintendo first party game.

I also think if it weren’t it would have gotten a six out of ten st the most.

I am curious to learn about all the different bits but still doubt I will pay money for this.
