This looks awesome. Can't wait!

The original 2DS may look weird, but it's extremely comfortable-easily my favorite one to play. And it was so cheap! One of the best deals in gaming history.

@JayJ it’s a free upgrade as long as you have the Anniversary edition. $20 to add it to your Switch 1 game, and it often goes on sale for $10.

Sounds great, but it's still about 40 GB too many. If they get that down, I'll buy the upgrade on sale.

I'd love to see the new Life is Strange game get announced for Switch 2, and I'm always hoping for a new Ace Attorney game.

This is one of my favorite games of all time, and I put a ton of hours into it several years ago. I haven't touched it since a bunch of content was added, and as much as I love that there is an excellent Switch 2 update, I doubt I'll ever play it. I'm kinda scared to go back to it-I had a totally perfect experience the first time around.

Nice to finally see Republic Commando working!

@Spider-Kev yeah, that’s what the virtual game cards are for.

@RainbowGazelle the Switch 2 version is noticeably better, but yeah, I never had an issue with the Switch 1 version either.

Hardly a con, the Switch version was $10 cheaper than other versions. AND the update was on sale for half price when it first launched.

Anyway, yeah, the update is awesome.

@Res462 I thought I read that while it is a separate file, it still requires the cartridge to play. I could be wrong, I don't have it myself.

Bogus, but I'm happily playing Metroid and Star Wars Outlaws, so whatever. Plus, I'm not even a big Skyrim guy. Still, I'd love to check out an improved version on Switch 2. I assume this will be fixed eventually-if so, I'll check it out. Please keep us posted if they update it!

@Polvasti well, I wasn’t being entirely serious. Still, I think it looks like a cool game that I wish I personally had more interest in.

If this was about literally anything other than soccer, I'd be so into it. Sounds like it has a cool tone/cool themes, and I love the visual style. But I couldn't possibly be less interested in soccer. How about a baseball or hockey version?

I'm still pretty early on-there's a lot of game left, and especially a lot of "open world"/motorcycle stuff, so who knows, but so far, I've gotta say, this is the most fun I've had with a game in a long time. Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time, and I'm getting a lot of the same feelings from this one (more so than I ever did from 2 or 3, even). Too soon for me to give an official rating, but if it continues to be this enjoyable, it's at least a 9.

I played the demo and um...it's hard to imagine this being an 8. For me, anyway. I think it's neat that it exists, especially in the console's first year, but man...I wasn't into it at all.

@Moroboshi876 eh, it's $8. Consider it the cost of getting to play it early.

@R_Ryder the Switch 1 version was cheaper than the other versions. The $10
upgrade makes it the same price as the others. The $5 deal actually makes the Switch 2 version the cheapest of the bunch.

I have absolutely no issue with the way it looks or feels right now, but sure, I’ll pay $5 for this.

Oh, I was excited because Boo was in the image-he's my son's favorite character and he's been wanting to get a Boo icon for his profile. Bogus. Oh well.

What the heck is tat?

I love this game, but the worst part about it is the roster. I mean, sure, maybe I’m not the Sonic fan that some others are, but man…pales in comparison to a Mario Kart game. I welcome all of the crossover stuff, and plan on using Mega Man most of the time.

Having said that, I don’t care about Minecraft. Cool course anyway, though.

The game is great, I don’t see what the problem is.

I mean, I’ll get the upgrade, and I’m sure it will be better, but I have absolutely no issue with how it looks or performs now.

I’ll buy it digitally on sale sometime for Rocko.

@mohok yes! I’m gonna do it too.

So, with the news that Easy Come Easy Golf got a 60 FPS update today, is there any reason to not just get that for half the cost of this instead?

I'll probably get it eventually, I've been loving most Atari stuff that has been coming out the last few years. I tried the demo for this on Steam and didn't love it, but it was kinda cool. No immediate need to get it, but I'd like to see more of it.

I’m all digital outside of some bigger first party games, but I’m going to buy this and Yooka Replaylee (and who knows what else) to support real physical releases. Key cards are dumb. If you’re going to get a digital game, buy it from the eshop and at least get the convenience you should get from digital gaming!

@Anachronism I'm kinda with you, this was a very oddly written article. Anyway, game looks cool.

Go digital and this stuff doesn't matter anymore!

“Even worse, perhaps, is that the Public Park lobbies don't allow you to play against random players online with a friend (or friends) in any way, as far as I’ve been able to tell.”

I was going to buy it until I read this.

I enjoyed my time with the demo. I assume in the full game we'll be able to play with our friends? If so, I'm in. No fun playing with a bunch of jerks who don't pass.

@premko1 $20 for a good game is a problem?

I don't know, man. I've played it a bit-my buddy bought it and gameshared with me. It's pretty fun. I mean, it's just something kinda silly to do while you talk to your friends. I suppose 5/10 makes sense as a score for a video game, but there's something about it. It's a good time.

“Gameplay will be a mix of stealth…”

Pass.

This game is pretty great. I know I'll be playing a lot of Pingolf on my Switch 2 in the future!

@TerribleTerabytes Sure, if you start an "album" on your phone and plug it in, you can go to "now playing" and have access to the app and move forward and backwards and stuff. But you can't use your voice to say "play the Metroid Prime soundtrack in the Nintendo Music app" or anything like that, you can't access the whole library through the screen, etc.

I just want CarPlay, man.

@tapdancingtommy bummer, seems like that makes this way less fun. I was ready to buy this to play with my son, but if we can't both have that perspective, maybe I'll pass.

@AccessibleDaydream Beats me, I haven’t played the demo for Another Code. Sorry!

@AccessibleDaydream definitely made for the same audience. Emio was longer, more interactive, and more...I don't know, exciting? This is really just like watching an emotional short film or something. I'd certainly encourage you to try it out/support it. Having said that, you may prefer Hotel Dusk or Another Code (or Ace Attorney!!!) if you're looking for something similar to Emio. Or, heck, just play the other Famicom Detective Club games if you haven't yet.

@Indielink ESPECIALLY something like this that needs all the support it can get. I mean, I know I'd like to see more games like this.

@tabris95 Agreed, Florence was awesome.

Played through it last night. I enjoyed my time with it, I’m glad it exists, and I was happy to support it (and may support it again by buying it for a few friends). After Hotel Dusk and Another Code/Trace Memory, though, I was hoping for more. Still, it’s impressive how much emotional story telling they could do in 40 wordless minutes. Definitely worth the low price.

Never played it, but my son (who also has never played it) is obsessed with the characters. May pick it up to check out with him.

Whoa, cool news.

$6?! I was prepared to spend like $30, ha. Don't tell them.

I can't imagine caring about this stuff. Game looks awesome.

I wonder if this fixed KOTOR 2 and Republic Commando. Those are the last two I care about.

@MARl0 VCS has spinner controls too, that's where I have it.
