Will be taking the Switch 2 upgrade option. Solid kart racer.

It's been a great console for me.

There isn't actually that much innovation elsewhere IMO either.....

Thanks for the review. A good read.

There feels a sort ot ineviteability to the game being reviewed thusly. A good game but not up to the high standard of past Pokemon video games.

I'll still get it because of the pro's (well summarised as to my exact reasoning why, actually) , but maybe not at launch.

Really enjoyed looking through all of those suggestions. Absolutely love this feature.

Card Fight Vanguard DD2 & Witch of the Holy Night stand out in particular for me personally. As does Grand Prix Story.

BTW, I have only heard of 3 games in that list and I like to think I keep a good knowledge of eShop games, even the obscure ones.

I already have mini motorways which is good. Reminds me of a very cool DS/DSiware game

Already have it downloaded on my New 3DS XL. NS2 version is worth a serious punt if you haven't played it before IMO

Reads more like an 8 to be honest, judging by the reviw content. Cheers for the review.

GoombaJMR and this review has me convinced (actually already downloaded it based on trailer and other reviews elsewhere 😅 - metactiticing at 90 on PS5 😲)

Absulom only this week

Disgaea 7 Switch 2 Edition when discounted a bit.

Yooka Replaylee later on in the year or early next year.

Reviews needed for any others that may crop up.

Cheers for the review.

It seems no.2 is the height of the series.

5 BIG releases I'm certain to insta-buy there.

All Stars Racing Transformed >

So far....

Puzzles are amongst the "higher tier genres" in my gaming preferences but I didn't get around to playing this, somewhat strangely. Definitely will be giving this a downloand on the Switch 2. Cheers for the review.

I'm quite partial to the broken sword games but I haven't played this one. I'll need a review, mind

Massive month for Indie games with Hollow Knight Silksong & Hades 2 out. Hollow Knight is superb. I have Hades 2 on my backlog.

I really like Crossworlds but I have to play it longer to feel or see it being better than All Stars Racing Transformed. That is where the real comparison should be made. Also, it's still not as good as the Mario Kart series, particularly 8 DX. Mario Kart World is just that. Mario Kart in a Mario Kart World which Sonic Crossworlds isn't - as in open worldy. It's far more arcadey. They can both exist in the same genre space and be good individual experiences. Furthermore, I usually don't care if the gameplay is good, but the Switch 1 visuals aren't too great. It effects the experience a smidgen for some reason. Maybe it's because I know a Switch 2 version is on the horizon. I'd still recommend it if the Switch is the only console you have or if you want a handheld version

Galaxy 2 and finishing off XCX

I have played 1 & 4 (nails but good) but only some of 5.....

I'll be single dipping so it seems a little bit more tempting for that reason. I think had I alread played this on Switch 1, I wouldn't have purchased this based on the review.

Cheers for the review.

Mobile game had me turned off in the first place. But this is an abysmmal showing. Not worthy of a generally excellent franchise. A long way from Three Houses or Engage. Looking fwd to the proper mainline Switch 2 actual video game. Cheers for going through this in order to review the game for us!

@nhSnork I loved many of the 3rd party ports on the Switch 1. Would much rather play on the hybrid system than a PS5 or XBOX "ass in chair in one room". However, I think it's time to move on. It's been great for nearly a decade now

Really should have done Switch 2 Edition (exclusive) Galaxy 1 & 2 physical.

Then release just Galaxy 2 as an individual release for Switch 1.

Looks like my kinda thang tbh.

Enjoy your gaming

TBH, much as I love Switch 1, it's time we saw Switch 2 exclusives more and more. Simply because Switch 1 games by third parties were becoming more and more messy. Yeah I know, P5R and Switcher 3 were amazing on the system, but...

If you look at the footage & trailer, as well as read the blurb, you can tell it really is potentially good. One or those you have a good feeling about.

This is with me having no idea how it reviewed despite having heard of it previously.

I only play a small selection of dungeon crawler games and this one is likely to be one of them.

Galaxy 1 & 2 "Switch 2" and Final Fantasy Tactics. Need a review for Shujinko. It looks quite interesting and has potential....

Playing this Switch 1 version on the Switch 2 and its good gameplay. Close to All Stars Racing Transformed Wii. It doesn't look as good as the PS5 footage (significantly tbf), but that is 100% to be expected. I'll probably take the upgrade pathway come December when the S2 version is out. No real feeling of framereate issues yet.

Review is fair and a good read. Thanks.

All the main games you highlighted except Yooka Replaylee will be purchased by me at some stage in 2025. Along with DB Sparkling Zero & Katamari

Require reviews:

Octopath Zero
Tales of Xilia Re

Loved Octopath Traveller.

Cheers for the reviews. It's getting rave reviews on PC and PS5 so it's good to read that the Switch 2 version pretty much measures up. Probably will go ahead and get it. Noice.

Those were a cool series of impressions. Cheers for the write up.

I think MH3, Hyrule Warriors AOI , DQ I&II HD-2D as well as Layton's latest outing stand out the most.

I love me some Katamari and some Resi Evil (to a large extent), but I'll need reviews for those. I suspect they'll be good.

All Switch 2 purchases where possible of course.

I liked the upgraded visuals on the 3ds version. I think this version has taken it up an extra level on that. I'd like this done to 5,8 and 9 please

Oooooh.

I really want to download this!

Cheers for the heads up.

Great game on the Switch 2 and good addition.

Sonic Crossworlds and Hades II.

Will see if any surprises come up. If not that's more than enough for me for this week. So good week.

Agatha Christie game further down the line.

I liked BCB so I will look out for this. Trailer and description indicate promise.

That's actually a great update!

Will get. But I.would like to see Switch2 graphics.

A brilliant trilogy.

This is very different from the Sonic x Shadow Generations situation

This is actually quite sweet

I have 3D All Stars so Galaxy 1 will have to be a significant improvement in visuals. Then probably, yeah. But it will be like a quadruple dip for me for that game!

I'm 100% getting Galaxy 2 as it's an all time fav video game of mine (like Galaxy1).

A significant Switch 2 visual remake should have been made

I am a fan of the DQ series & I loved 7 on the 3DS but that was already a remake. So why remake it yet again? TBH with you I would have preferred a Switch 2 version of 5, 8 or 9 if they were going down this road. That would have been amazing.

Having said all that, dagnamit, I think I'll probably eventually download this as I am a DQ fan, as I said.

I think I already have all the games I want and need from that sale selection which is a massive chunk of them. Ha. Many cracking games btw.

My wishlist is often there for this kinda thing - waiting for sales (usually of over 30% at least).

May investigate Neva and Invisible Inc, however. I may have previously removed them from my wishlist and I can't remember why.

Ideal platform for these, for me

Always wanted to give this a proper playthrough. Ah yes!

Man, adored the silly 3DS game, cannot wait. Ha ha.

Absolutely stoked Galaxy 2 is coming. It's amongst the greatest games of all time. If Galaxy 1 looks significantly better as a Switch 2 game, I'll "quadruple dip"....lol...

The pricing is crackers though if you consider the intial Wii U VC price point.

@sixrings Didn't notice blurring bar the deliberate depth in field visuals at times which were interesting. Noticed the odd frame drop but not fussy. Cozy and satisfying platform gaming

I love the Fire Emblem series. This looks great. I'm actually surprised we're getting one so soon into the Switch 2's life

The first sim was quite good, surprisingly! Yup, down!

Looks great. Ha

Good news. Glad it's coming alongside Village.

I'd love 4 remake (as 4 is one my favourite games of all time) too.

Enjoy in gaming.

One game in particular that could look even more wonderful in the increased Switch 2 horsepower state.

Enjoy your gaming
