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.
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.
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.
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 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

Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd October (North America)
Galaxy 1 & 2 "Switch 2" and Final Fantasy Tactics. Need a review for Shujinko. It looks quite interesting and has potential....

Review is fair and a good read. Thanks.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For October & November 2025
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.
Re: Review: Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Comprehensive Update Of A Classic Series Opener
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.
Re: Feature: Zelda, Layton, Mega Man - 10 Games We Played At TGS 2025 Coming To Switch 1 & 2
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.
Re: Video: Square Enix Showcases 17 Minutes Of Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Gameplay

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
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

Re: 79 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The eShop 'Blockbuster Sale' (Europe)
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.
Re: The Entire Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy Is Making Its Way To Switch 2
Ideal platform for these, for me

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time

Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Charges Onto Switch 2 In 2026

Enjoy in gaming.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Is Getting A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
One game in particular that could look even more wonderful in the increased Switch 2 horsepower state.
Enjoy your gaming
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th September (North America)

Re: Virtual Boy Is Being Added To Nintendo Switch Online
That is very unexpected! Ha ha
Re: A Brand New Yoshi Adventure Is Heading To The Switch 2

I love DB and I'll give a try. Not hugely enthused, but we shall see....
Re: A Brand New Yoshi Adventure Is Heading To The Switch 2
Yoshi series games tend to be good, good quality outings. Looks purrty!
Re: Mario Tennis Fever Hits Switch 2 Next February
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.

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: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?
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.

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.
