@Saad_Moonwalker They could've capped it if they wanted, but they didn't so on Switch 2 it runs better regardless of how they implemented it - while of course it would be nice if it were better also visually thanks to a proper update/upgrade (no thanks to exclusively a dedicated version à la Square Enix etc.), unsurprisingly many me included will gladly take the higher performance first and foremost and even more so in a game of this kind...
Nice that Cities Skylines is getting a Switch 2 version and even more since luckily there's a "upgrade" at least in the form of a hefty discount for those who have the Switch one - not me included, but even more so considering this I'll consider giving the game a try at some point!
Glad you enjoyed the previous times you played Elden Ring regardless of how far you got in it Jim, but nice that this time you're continuing playing it beyond its "Great Plateau" (of course also thanks to the portability and luckily overall quality of the Switch 2 version, good thing they took their time with it) - looking forward to giving it a try myself after having played Lies of P when I can!
Yeah, my guess and also hope because it would be absolutely ridiculous otherwise is that they just put the decimal separator in the wrong spot by mistake - if that's the case fingers crossed they'll fix this sooner rather than later and regardless, hope nobody will buy this at such a price!
Thanks for the review, the game had already piqued my interest based on what was shown and mentioned in the previous article here on Nintendo Life, but this confirms that I'll give it a try at some point!
Will redeem this when I play Pokopia tomorrow - glad to see also Mystery Gifts continuing (although of course events etc. adding new contents are even better)!
Nice, happy for those in Canada who'll visit this - would love to see such a thing (if not straight up a separate, dedicated Nintendo store) here in Italy, too!
Glad for those who have been waiting for a physical release of this game - as usual being by Limited Run I won't go for it myself unless it's one of their distributed titles and so potentially available also here in Italy without importing (assuming they're still releasing those in addition to their numbered titles)!
How about waiting for the full soundtrack before judging it? Regardless, good for Asadi and curious to listen to his compositions - not just for this game, also Rogue Prince of Persia (and even more so after what @Wakkawipeout mentioned) whenever I have the time to play that, too!
Some people took the name "Sonic Discord" too literally - half jokes aside, glad the situation is better now and hope those using this have fun (not me included, I rarely use Discord and despite that I'm in too many servers as is)!
Glad for those who have been waiting for HOME compatibility with FireRed and LeafGreen that it's finally here (not me included at least for now) - that said, as already mentioned here even bigger for those using HOME should be the increased capacity!
Can't help but vote for Witcher III as my favorite based on what I've seen and heard about the original and even more so this rerelease - that said, really good selection of games in general this month!
Ah yes, I remember when we heard about this the first time here on Nintendo Life - glad it now has a precise release date for those interested in it (potentially me included although not anytime soon also considering that I should play Vampire Survivors which I already have first and foremost in addition to Zelda as already mentioned by the article etc.)!
Glad most really enjoyed it so far and nice to hear more about the single player in general and Island Crown in particular here - preordered it myself and absolutely looking forward to it (bet many will go for it as well sooner or later considering how much the previous Switch Sports sold, 18.32 million and so just barely outside the top 10 of best-selling Switch games is wild)!
Hope those going for GTA enjoy it but yeah, as already mentioned here I also can't wait for it to come out so that the situation goes back to normal more than anything else - Nintendo just keep on doing their own thing for better or worse (luckily mostly the former and especially when it comes to way more important matters than this like not laying-off their employees etc.)...
Anyway, so excited for Ocarina myself, only a month left!
Glad you got to play this and overall enjoyed it, Alex - based on what's mentioned here I'm looking forward to it even more than I was (and I was already quite excited considering the return of free roam which was already a favorite of mine in Wii Sports Resort, the single-player mode with Matt as one of the legends etc.)!
@Alcea Not sure why I didn't get notified of your reply but anyway, there's a negative GKC fully share with physical and one with digital: having to put and keep in the cartridge every time you play and occupying storage respectively - personally, I'll gladly take GKC and so all the other benefits of physical they still have myself most of the time (definitely not skipping a game just because it's digital-only etc.) and even more so them being available as an option instead of exclusively digital like it already is or is becoming on other platforms, you people do you...
Thanks for the review, again doubt I'll particularly mind the negatives while practically everything else appeals to me - regardless, so glad this and the other Kingdom Hearts games are finally on Switch 2, finally as proper ports!
@Lord It indeed supports GameShare, both online (that one requires two Switch 2 systems) and local (also with a Switch) - here's the link to the article mentioning all the ways you can play Orbitals, hope you have fun with it if you end up going for it!
@That_old_geezer Have you already sent them this suggestion "via typeform or on the official discord" as mentioned also in the article? If you haven't please do so, would be great to have such an option as long as it's feasible for them to implement (that should be the case, but of course we don't know how the game works internally etc.)!
Glad they're further polishing Orbitals according to players' feedback - already have a physical copy, but haven't tried it out yet myself (even more so considering that it's co-op only)... absolutely looking forward to doing so when I can!
Here's the link to the latest time I mentioned the positives Game-Key Cards fully or partially share with other physical releases, I refuse to copy and paste the full comment for the fourth time so soon after that and even more so since it takes some time due to the links included - again, if people still prefer getting games digitally considering the advantages that format has that's fair, but they have to first know how GKC actually work to make informed purchases (GKC are objectively better than Code-in-a-Box and even more so digital when it comes to those aspects and yet here we go again with false claims about that etc.)...
Have preordered a physical copy as soon as it became available here in Italy, there's no way I wouldn't get these games now that they're finally proper ports instead of cloud versions - so looking forward to finally properly play this series myself (again, have only played and almost finished the original Chain of Memories on GBA back in the day) when I have the time for it!
So glad Switch 2 has already sold that much and most certainly it will keep on selling between bundles and future games (Monster Hunter Wilds is also getting one when it comes out in Japan, would be surprised if that didn't sell well) - happy for those finally getting the system thanks to such offers!
Glad to hear Rise sold that much - while Monster Hunter in general isn't my cup of tea I quite appreciated several aspects of that game specifically when I gave it at least a try myself (and yes, it would be great if it got a Switch 2 Edition at some point)!
Downloading the apps and watching the new episodes of the stop motion series immediately and will consider getting also some physical products at some point for my niece (other than of course as collectibles) - love to see the My Mario line continuing!
I've just finished checking out the linked original interview in addition to the article here - thanks for your work at Nintendo Abe-san and wish you the best in these future endeavors (and of course looking forward to potential new games myself whenever you end up making them)!
Have already seen the cards and icons (the latter I already had, they're returning ones) while I didn't know this was the Nintendo Music addition for this week, nice - I love Majora's Mask, absolutely including its soundtrack!
Will test it when my copy arrives, but being three separate apps luckily you should be able to download one at a time as a comment also pointed out when we heard of the file sizes for the first time - anyway, so looking forward to my copy to arrive to finally play these games myself when I have the time for them (obviously skipped the cloud releases, man am I glad we're finally getting proper ports)!
Sad to hear for those playing and enjoying this although I'm glad that at least the offline modes will still be playable (for those who already have the game, too bad it's getting delisted as well)!
Thanks for the review, doubt I'll particularly mind the performance in 0.2 as much as the option to cap the FPS would've been welcome (fingers crossed they consider adding it with an update) - looking forward to the Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind review whenever it's ready!
Thanks for the review, so looking forward to finally playing all the Kingdom Hearts games thanks to this rerelease (have only played and almost finished the original Chain of Memories on GBA back in the day) - will obviously start with this collection when I have the time for it so I'm glad to hear it's this good on Switch 2!
Thanks for the review, even more excited than I already was considering what's mentioned here including Switch 2 control features, accessibility options etc. to finally give Witcher III a try myself by playing this version at some point - wouldn't have time to do so right now anyway, but I'm waiting to see if they'll release a physical version, otherwise I'll buy a Switch physical copy and get this digitally thanks to the upgrade (by then they'll most certainly have further improved this already excellent version)!
This is the kind of game that could definitely have an offline version, sad that one isn't planned (not straight up confirmed in this case, but since it isn't mentioned I seriously doubt it) - that said, overall had fun playing the main story and I finally got to try Denpa Men thanks to this game so I'm glad it happened!
Nice that Prime 4 is back to the top 10 thanks to discounts! Also personally happy for Minecraft Dungeons II debuting in 2nd (and even more so considering that it sold the most on Switch 2), World in 4th, Ace Combat 8 debuting in 5th, Witcher III in 6th and 11th, Pokopia in 7th, Tomodachi Life in 8th, First Light still in 12th, Lego Batman in 13th, Fortune's Weave in 15th (again, considering that these are the UK Charts it's still relatively high), Bananza in 18th, Legends Z-A in 19th, Trails in the Sky 2nd back to the charts in 20th (love to see the Switch 2 version selling the most followed by the Switch one), Dawnwalker in 21st, Lies of P debuting in 22nd (wish it were higher, though) etc.!
Thanks for the review, overall still interested in checking this out at some point, but I'll definitely wait - even more so considering the bugs, but also since I haven't played the original Minecraft Dungeons and so I'll most likely play that first (and there will be also Minecraft itself for me to finally try after the release of the Switch 2 version)!
Personally, I appreciate the craft behind it - wouldn't get one myself and not just considering its price but still, glad this exists for those interested in it (too bad it's that limited)!
Curious to see what they have in store when it comes to the Bayonetta series and hopefully Astral Chain, too - in the meantime, looking forward to finally playing the games already out myself when I can (and yes, would be great if those got Switch 2 Editions)!
Couldn't care less either way as long as Capcom or whatever other company keep on making overall good if not better games and even more so don't lay-off their workers (in fact, they're actually hiring more of them regardless of genAI usage) - that said, glad others here have already called out the clickbait headline because in this case there actually isn't "AI-generation" involved in that sense at all...
Speaking of, if I applied the same logic of throwing the baby out with the bathwater applied to this and other "controversial" topics, I would've stopped supporting Nintendo Life a long time ago considering articles like this very one, that leak in the title and subtitle and so on!
This further shows why the complaints last time made no sense - while of course this remaster in general and in particular the Switch 2 version can and will be further improved it's already a massive upgrade as is so there's no good reason to not release it now...
Leaving that aside, looking forward to playing it myself at some point even more than I already was (still waiting to see if they'll release it physically, otherwise I'll buy a Switch physical copy and get this version digitally thanks to the upgrade)!
Japan for me because as usual GBA box arts benefits from the bigger space - that said, kudos to those who made the European one for keeping all the elements of that despite the constraints (not a fan of North America at all, by dropping the characters it could be the cover for any mech game)!
Getting digital copies of The Witch's Bakery and Ratatan as I've supported them on Kickstarter, preordered physically Kingdom Hearts, Castlevania, Resonance (a copy for me and one for my sister's birthday), Switch Sports Resort, most certainly I'll get the digital upgrade for Minecraft (not saying for sure just because we don't know all the details yet) and there will be other additions for sure between the games mentioned in the article and comments either this month like in the case of the free upgrade for Epic Mickey which I'll get as soon as it comes out or more likely later and of course my physical copy of Lies of P has already arrived - no time for rest indeed and I couldn't be happier!
Good to know the game is getting all these additions at some point this and next year (along with visual improvements to the Switch 2 version, it's even more logical that those will be incremental now that we know this) - happy for those already playing or going for it!
@roy130390 I specified "most of the time I bet unintentionally" exactly for that reason (and even more so since I imagined that in your case you weren't doing it on purpose) - speaking of, I used the term misinformation precisely because its definition according to the Cambridge Dictionary is "false information, given either by mistake or deliberately"... of course I don't blame you and others spreading it by mistake!
@roy130390 I'll yet again copy and paste the advantages that Game-Key Cards fully or partially share with other physical releases:
they aren't tied to a single account so you can play them regardless of access to that (unlike digital games) - related to that, you can share and/or resell them without any limitations;
they aren't tied to the eShop so if that eventually shuts down like the 3DS and WiiU ones you should still be able to download them (unlike Code-in-a-Box although it has to be said that even that is better than exclusively digital since it allows you to get games even after they're delisted as Gavin did in the case of Cruis'n Blast for example);
they are tied to the servers, but as long as you have activated them the first time and someone locally has the game downloaded on their system you can install the game from them by using the Match Version With Local Users function just like you could for updates on Switch in case the servers ever shut down (reminder that not even the Wii ones have yet).
Again, if you or whoever else prefer going for digital considering its advantages that's fair but please, let's stop disregarding the abovementioned facts - most of the time I bet unintentionally, but that's exactly why the misinformation about GKC has to stop (and even more so when other platforms already are or are becoming exclusively digital)...
Nice to know the results of this survey and yep, even more interesting this time considering that Switch 2 has come out - looking forward to surveys of this kind and their results going forward, too!
@Mana_Knight It is possible to purify Shadow Lugia, my clue without straight up telling you is that it requires more than the usual method - here you can find the full answer (and also a tip in case you end up struggling with it)!
Don't have the time to listen to it fully right now, but the little I've already checked out is great - kudos to Garofolo for such videos and also making the sheet music and tabs available on his site and Patreon so that others can play themselves (potentially me included, but for now I'll just take out The Legend of Zelda: Best Collection book, 8-bit Music Theory ones etc. I already have)!

Getting digital copies of The Witch's Bakery and Ratatan as I've supported them on Kickstarter, preordered physically Kingdom Hearts, Castlevania, Resonance (a copy for me and one for my sister's birthday), Switch Sports Resort, most certainly I'll get the digital upgrade for Minecraft (not saying for sure just because we don't know all the details yet) and there will be other additions for sure between the games mentioned in the article and comments either this month like in the case of the free upgrade for Epic Mickey which I'll get as soon as it comes out or more likely later and of course my physical copy of Lies of P has already arrived - no time for rest indeed and I couldn't be happier!

@roy130390 I specified "most of the time I bet unintentionally" exactly for that reason (and even more so since I imagined that in your case you weren't doing it on purpose) - speaking of, I used the term misinformation precisely because its definition according to the Cambridge Dictionary is "false information, given either by mistake or deliberately"... of course I don't blame you and others spreading it by mistake!

@roy130390 I'll yet again copy and paste the advantages that Game-Key Cards fully or partially share with other physical releases:
Again, if you or whoever else prefer going for digital considering its advantages that's fair but please, let's stop disregarding the abovementioned facts - most of the time I bet unintentionally, but that's exactly why the misinformation about GKC has to stop (and even more so when other platforms already are or are becoming exclusively digital)...

Nice to know the results of this survey and yep, even more interesting this time considering that Switch 2 has come out - looking forward to surveys of this kind and their results going forward, too!

Re: Random: Tough Week? Grab Yourself A Brew & Get These Immaculate Zelda Tunes On Your Playlist, Pronto
Don't have the time to listen to it fully right now, but the little I've already checked out is great - kudos to Garofolo for such videos and also making the sheet music and tabs available on his site and Patreon so that others can play themselves (potentially me included, but for now I'll just take out The Legend of Zelda: Best Collection book, 8-bit Music Theory ones etc. I already have)!
