I liked the 3DS iteration moreso that ACES on Switch (both good IMO). But I generally have always liked the series as a pick up and play game. So I 100% down. Switch 2 game as well.
@RickStar I really can't justify the costs of all those consoles though like many others I'm sure. I have to choose one that the whole household can enjoy even if they are a mixture of teenage and young adult gamers. The cost appropriate and cost effective one for me and us is actually the Switch 2 together with enough visual oomph to be enjoyable. Gameplay is where it is most at, of course.
@Coxula Ha. There is one other Puzzle Quest on Switch (The Legend Returns) but apparently there are 8 PQ games currently in existence I think. 2 versions of the excellent original Challenge of the Warlords, but also a Magic the Gathering and Adventure Time version as well (never played those). PQ2 wasn't great and actually made the game boring. Similar to Galactrix. There is a PQ3 out there...somewhere...
Very good. Especially if you don't have an (overly expensive in itself) PS5. Even if I did, a hybrid portable would be my preferred way of playing. I tend to have "higher completion percrntages" on portables and hybrid portables historically, so that tells its own story. I really enjoyed MK World when I stopped comparing it mentally with the 'how do you improve on this' MK 8 deluxe. Banaza is an outstanding 3D platformer, amongst the best ever. Many of my Switch 1 backlog games look and play better. A bit spoiled, if I were to tell you the truth, ha ha
Sounds sweet from a retro perspective but I can't see playing it much beyond the first set of playthroughs. Even in a "pick up and play" way. Maybe I'll download it when deeply discounted
@Moistnado You're assuming "the writer" and many others here have multiple consoles. Even though I'm an avid gamer, I only justify consoles not for just my sole self, but that others in the household play and get a lot out of. PS4 & Switch consoles - yeah. PS5 and Steamdeck - nope. I therefore won't fork out for the latter (hardware). Barely any talk of hardware costs when costs of gaming are mentioned. Cost o'living, running your own family house financially, older kids busy doing degrees etc etc
The review content makes it sound quite appealing. One that would sit nicely in "Relax" file created on my Switch 2. I think I'll DL it further down the line mind as my backlog is a mountain range.
Thanks for the review. Wow, better on the Wii? I played it on that system and it was an enjoyable playthrough. Poor they screwed it up for the Switch 1 which could have had proper gyro aiming like in 3DS Ocarina of Time as well as of course the joycon controls. Hopefully th Switch 2 can sort some of this out? Heard that was the case for the first game?
Cheers for the review. The review content is kinda of as I expected it. Another decent vania-ish game but there are large number of them on the eShop already. Shame about the frame drops. The genre is kind of lower on the genre tier list so unfortunately not for me.
Shame and sounds a tad lazy. The Switch 2 is actually already out and I have one. So I'll just get that version.
At least it's not like SEGA who released Sonic & Shadow on Switch 1, didn't indicate they'd release Switch 2 version at all, then offered no upgrade path for that game when the S2 version came out. Within a year.

Re: Mario Tennis Fever Hits Switch 2 Next February

Re: Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition Brings Match-3 RPG Fun To Switch This Month
We have a version on the Switch 1 already, don't we? The Legend Return
I played this on the DS and the eShop Switch 1 version to pieces, ha.
And I'll um probably download this like a sucker....

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th August (North America)
For now, just the Kirby FL DLC Expansion for the Switch 2. I have already pre-ordered.
Grand Bazaar and Shinobi further down the line. Possibly Boulder Dash & Star Trek R (need reviews) as well.
Re: Square Enix Confirms Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Runs At A "Stable" 30fps On Switch 2
I don't care about fps I want a game that isn't a mess like some were on Switch 1. I'll play it "on the hybrid go"
Re: Takashi Iizuka Explains Why Sonic Racing: CrossWorld's Guest Racers Stay Silent In-Game
A non-issue for me. Looking fwd to this. Hopefully similar to the quality of transformed.

Re: Review: Chibi-Robo (GameCube) - A Charming Game About An Altruistic Robot Or A Shambolic Scavenger Hunt?
Cheers for the review dabs nostalgic tear from eye. I'm so glad we have GC games on the Switch 2. Can't wait for the re-tread Chibi's little world.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st August (North America)
Roadwarden and Herdling look like they could be decent playthroughs tbf. I won't be getting anything from this week's download list though.
Re: Video: Uh Oh, Elden Ring On Switch 2 Has Issues In Handheld Mode
I'm not worried and I will most likely still buy it. Switch 2 third party games so far have been dreamy for me.
Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
@Moistnado OK.
Which then you'd have to factor in the very large single cost of buying the PS5 console into your decision making.

Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
@Moistnado Is "the writer" rich?
Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
I don't want to play these games on a "sat on your keister in one room" PS5 console. Hybrid gaming all the way for me.
I'm very interested in about 60% of these games for Switch2
Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
I'll buy it unless it's a disaster
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week

Looks actually quite sweet in a retro way. Yeah, will monitor.
Re: Persona 3 Reload Is Making The Jump To Switch 2 This October
Considering the brilliance of P5R on the Switch, I'm surprised there isn't more hype for this release on the Switch 2. Cannot wait.
Re: Plants Vs Zombies: Replanted Coming To Switch 1 & 2 This October
The last time I played this game was on DSiware I think. Yeah, I'm down at the right price

Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Plenty there for me but I can understand why some are disappointed. I can't understand why some are miserable mind you. Ha.
Persona 3 Reload
Dragonball Sparking Zero
Yakuza K 1 & 2
the highlights.
But about 6 or 7 I'm really interested in downloading in total. And there and a few more intriguing ones (3?) for the reviewers to help me with.

Re: Review: Shadow Labyrinth - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Sometimes 'Good Enough' Is Just That

Re: Sonic Racing: Crossworlds On Switch 2 Will Feature The Full Base Game On Cartridge
That's good.
If it is of similar quality to Sonic & SEGA all stars racing transformed, it'll be a blast.
Can they do exactly same for Sonic & Shadow Generations?
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?

Re: Review: The Wandering Village (Switch) - Charming City Builder Has You Manage A Community Atop A Marching Giant
It actually sounds quite clever. I like the fusion of genres and it has worked. I may give this a try further down the line. Cheers for the review.
