I have a 1TB in the current gen NS1. I bought a 1.5TB microSD card in a previous Black Friday but haven't used it yet. I was going to wait to use it in the NS2, but I'm thinking I'll need an express 2TB now.
I won't be transferring my entire library over intially, but my NS1 has screen cracks in it, so I'm uncertain what the future holds for my dear, day 1, OG NS1.
If the include both SkyHeroes and Racers, I'll probably give it a shot. They were both okay timepass playthroughs back in the Wii days. Agents would be interesting
Being fair, the top 7 are quite good or decent there. They could have gone down the licensed game route of minimal effort and use the movie franchise name to sell the game.
I played the various series' games on the PS2, the Wii & the Wii U only, admittedly, but enjoyed them on the whole. That's the trilogy book/film series as well as The Hobbit, Third Age and Aragon's quest
I respect they're trying to honour retro DK with the design. However, I don't like it. Maybe there is an option where you can have either design? That's a possibility IMO
DKCR HD will be downloaded further down the line when the price drops significantly. I love it, but Nintendo are asking me to triple dip, lol. Blade Chimera, again, a bit further down the line.
Cheers for the review. For me it still reads like a solid 8 but that's just gamer reader perception I guess. I played the Wii version and then replayed it on the 3DS (the game is downloaded onto the device). So it's just the 3DS game content HD'fied? For that price? Think I'll wait fo a big discount before triple dipping then.
Will a sit on your ass PS in one room audience go for this in enough numbers though? I'm surprised they took this long to have a go at an Animal Crossing "copy".
Admittedly I played the "LOTR Trilogy" on the PS2 and not the GCN. All not bad tbf. LEGO LOTR wasn't bad. Surprised it never came to the Wii U . It was released on the Wii at the very beginning of the Wii U's life , if I remember correctly.
Absolutely adore the books and the movie series btw.
EDIT: Sorry, played Third Age as well which was decent.
I have many VC downloads on my Wii U. A metric tonne. But I would have most likely have re-dipped considering I could play them on the go. Yeah, I know there was some 3DS VC, but still ...
I didn't play the first remaster due to bad reviews. Particularly the controls. I'll wait for the review. Can't see me getting this if it has no gyro type controls, which seem unlikely. Enjoyed the arcades and Wii iterations of the series, so a shame.
It's typical of the media headline writers & analysts when they write out of context headlines like this. Simple common sense would tell you it's highly unlikely something that is sold in a few months won't outsell something that is established and that is selling for a whole dang year. If the Switch 2 does somehow outsell the PS5 this year, that would look massivley bad for Sony.
Thanks for the review. Better late than never. Yeah, I held off this purchase due to ropey port issues being flagged up by the other reviewers. Good it comes to Switch, but poor effort IMO
@Clyde_Radcliffe To be honest I'm not so sure. Switch may soon be the second best selling console of all time. They may feel the publicity they get from producing a few prototypes may be worth it? I don't know. (Then again, it's a roll of the dice if they get it wrong, I suppose)
Now that we are getting more accessory leaks, I am thinking they know a lot less then they are letting on. These are "maybe prototypes made in anticipation", based on rumours they've been fed.
A little odd this. HD-2D is just another way of portraying or potraying visuals, usually remade ones. There isn't any reason to not continue with it and add it to the various choices of expressing/implementing visuals. There are barely any games that have this anyway
Only mildly interested as I am interested in gaming but I need Nintendo Switch related news here as that is why I am on this particular site. Really hoping Switcher 4 & Okami 2 gets optimised for Switch 2. Astro Bot would be cool on Switch 2. I dearly loved Tears of a Kingdom, tbf
Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is the best non-Mario Kart Kart game for definite IMO. I hope crossworlds implies other SEGA franchises being involved. We need that IMO. If that is the case, this is huge!
With it being multi-platform, please optimise this properly for the Switch 1 or/and 2
This genre is on one my higher tiers. So it automatically peaks my interest. Sounds quite good but maybe a short bursts game. One for a slight discount too. The write up got me interested, cheers for the review.

Re: Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection Trailer Introduces Online Play And Other New Features
I'm looking forward to this.
I think I only owned Eternal Duelist Soul.
But admittedly only deep dove into highly addictive deck building yugioh games in the DS era and later the now NS1 era.

I haven't downloaded the others yet. May just settle for this collection. I think I may only own one of the games on there. Cheers for the review

That's it.
Re: Multiple Resident Evil Titles Might Be Getting A Next-Generation Refresh
Just Resi Evil 4 Remake will do. I doubt they'll go to the effort of gyro or pointer controls though

I would have had different picks but so would many others? It's an individual game journalist's piece.

Re: So, Have You Pre-Ordered Donkey Kong Country Returns HD For Switch?
I've played DKCR on both the Wii and the 3DS. The 3DS with the extra content was cool as it helped justify a double dip.
I think I'll wait till it's heavily discounted before triple dipping, much as I adore thebgame

Absolutely adored this game back in the day on the PS2. Admittedly didn't play this on the Gamecube.
Alongside Sonic ASRT, my favourite non-MK Kart racer ever.

Oh and btw, I think we'll get Amy if there is a Sonic 4 movie. 🙂
Re: Best Tetris Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems
The big three are certainly rightly ranked here. We can just quibble on the order.
DX, Attack, Party Wii, Dr Mario and Puyo Puyo, 99 were all good too. Not a lot to choose between them in terms of the enjoyment I got out of them.

Re: Dbrand Seems To Have Shared Images Of Switch 2 Inside Its New Case
@Vlash I think the naming is particularly important.
Everyone understands the PS4 or PS5. Strangely many understand the XBOX series nomenclature. If the call it a Switch 2, that will be it set
