I can only imagine how the devs of this games' hearts sank when the Star Fox remake was announced. Many of us were looking forward to this game to fill the void, but then Nintendo filled it themselves. If only this game released earlier, it could have captured some of that nostalgia.
More Miyamoto shilling Pikmin. I wish he cared half as much about other Nintendo IP and brought all of those previous games to Switch/2 like Pikmin has been.
I seriously don't understand the point of 20+ gigs of HD textures when the games are just AI upscaled from 720p anyway. You won't be able to see the difference. Extremely disappointed with these Switch 2 editions of some of my favorite games of all time.. these should have been native 4K, other games have done it and it's insulting to us to put a bad AI filter on 720p games.
Since Square-Enix has been very adamant that the mobile game NieR Re[in]carnation IS NieR 3, I hope it eventually gets a complete edition console port. The gameplay was simple, but the many stories and extensive lore and world building were phenomenal.
Why is Nintendo censoring an M rated game?? We are consenting adults that don't need to be parented! This game is not for their family friendly audience and the M rating proves that. Insulting.
Tanabe had a great legacy, but it may be time to leave franchises like Metroid in better hands. I remember seeing in the credits of Prime 4 that all scan entries were written by him. There was barely any environmental storytelling there, most of the scan entries were meaningless and added no world building, unlike prior entries. Until the final scan of the game revealing the plot when this should have actually been a part of the story (how Sylux used Metroids) and not simply text in a scan entry.
Oh no not this again. I am a huge Persona fan but the last time they did these regular anniversary updates, it was always Japan-only cafe collabs or merch, not new game announcements or anything else the rest of the world could enjoy XD I hope it's different this time but not holding my breath lol
Have they at all talked about Pokémon Home compatibility?? Couldn't we get the stones and then transfer these starters without buying the overpriced DLC?
My guess is a Shadow the Hedgehog movie. Introducing new characters like Silver or Blaze would probably be done in the main movies, though I would welcome them
If you guys didn't realize, that was Samus's Japanese voice actor narrating the commercial and speaking from her own perspective. I would be interested in an English version of the commercial, though they probably won't let her speak again after western audiences hated Other M
I keep wishing they will add an update to New Horizons that lets you swap to the previous animal crossing soundtracks, just for fun and nostalgia's sake. I'd even pay for it. This is a good addition to Nintendo Music though!
Wish this could have been an option when starting the game, to have the original experience or new cutscenes. Love the original but would have loved to see the new scenes too
I enjoyed Bayonetta 3 and what it was trying to do. Yes, Viola was a very different type of character than Bayonetta herself, so I understand people not liking her as much, but her slapstick nature makes sense with the later reveals in the game. Still wish for a Switch 2 update or S2 Edition to help resolution and frame rate.
I can already play the Virtual Boy library in stereoscopic 3D on my modded 3DS without needing to buy a $100 accessory and awkwardly stick my face into it. A cool option for enthusiasts, but I am already set.
Why do people keep calling this "bricked"?? Sure, being unable to play online sucks but, but for decades in the modding scene, a console being "bricked" means it can no longer boot or function at all. It is literally as useful as a brick at that point. People need to stop using words they don't understand
Hmm. None of these mention increased resolution or frame rate. These are probably just compatibility fixes, since we know not all Switch games natively work on Switch 2, with the way backwards compatibility has been implemented. Disappointing, I hope over time at least all 1st party switch games get resolution/frame rate improvements.
Still hope this game gets Switch 2 graphical enhancements like other Switch 1 games (4K, 60/120) but Nintendo will probably intentionally wait to encourage more people to get MK World..
A huge disappointment. I was excited to see Switch 2 news come through this app and they only ever use to to show art of Mario characters. This isn't news. There has been so much misinformation about Switch 2 and this should have been one of the channels they used to clarify things, but nothing.
Love what I am seeing from GameCube NSO, however nearly all games can be made widescreen when emulated using things like Gecko codes, having to play Wind Waker 4:3 again is frustrating when its possible to have proper widescreen implementation. Still makes me want to play these on Steam Deck.
Yes! He understands that creative individuals create games, not just companies owning the IP. You can't just fire everyone off and expect their cheaper replacements to bring the same quality.
So will they finally do something new with this franchise? It's obvious it's still popular and relevant in the minds of gamers, but Capcom refuses to do anything besides these collections and DLC cameos.
Thank you for calling attention to this! My reason for purchasing this game was to play co-op, and the co-op mode is ruined. We're also playing with the original difficulty where lives are more scarce so it gets very frustrating. I hope it gets patched!!

Re: PlatinumGames Comments On The Future Of Bayonetta
Please start with Switch 2 editions of the games, especially Bayonetta 3!! That game deserves a second chance.
Re: Digimon Story: Time Stranger Is Getting A Major Expansion In 2027
I hope they add Gekkomon and Murasamemon from the Digimon Beatbreak anime!
Re: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Updated To Version 1.2.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Very pleasantly surprised, even though this came from nowhere and was unannounced. I still hope more Switch games get these visual upgrades.

Re: Preview: Five Takeaways From My Time With Virtual Boy On Nintendo Switch Online
I still plan to play these through my modded 3DS where I can see the 3D visuals without straining my neck and sticking my face in that thing.

Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update
I love all these updates and finally Switch 2 graphical upgrade, but I wish they also gave villagers more dialogue!
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Updated To Version 1.1.4, Improves Gameplay On Switch 2
But they still won't let the game run in 1080p in handheld on Switch 2?
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Almost Had Completely New Cutscenes
Wish this could have been an option when starting the game, to have the original experience or new cutscenes. Love the original but would have loved to see the new scenes too
Re: Splatoon 2 Version 5.5.2 Now Live For Switch And Switch 2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Why are they updating this but not giving 4K 60 when docked and 1080p when handheld? So many Switch 1 games should benefit more from being on Switch 2
Re: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Receives A Small Update (Version 1.4.1)
This would be a great candidate for Switch 2 Mouse controls, get rid of that on-screen cursor unless you move the Joy Con to mouse mode
Re: Opinion: Resident Evil Requiem Represents A Turning Point For Switch 2
As long as the devs can get a Switch 2 dev kit!!

Re: More Switch Titles Get Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility Fixes
I hope once all these bugs are fixed, they can start working on enhancement patches to increase resolution/framerate for switch 1 games
Re: 'Rumble Has Been Turned Off Due To Prolonged Use'? Don't Worry, Your Switch 2 Joy-Con Probably Aren't Broken
Nintendo doesn't want you having too much fun with prolonged rumble..

Still wish they were widescreen! Dolphin can do it properly, its possible to do!! Until then, unfortunately emulation is still the best experience
Re: Nintendo Explains Why Mario Kart World Isn't Called 'Mario Kart 9'
This makes sense, numbered sequels tend to deter players who aren't already familiar with a franchise.
Re: Random: Miyamoto Can't Talk About Switch 2, Talks About Switch 2 Anyway
I hope this indicates more free upgrade patches than the 12 that have been announced. There are SO many Switch 1 games that could use this.

Re: Surprise! The N64 App Is Also Getting Some Enhancements On Switch 2
This is great, so glad for the CRT filter! But are these enhancements really only for the switch 2?? That would make no sense
Re: GameCube Games On Switch 2 Will Support An Optional CRT Filter
This is great, but also needed on the N64 app!!
Also, I hope the GBA connectivity can be emulated by wirelessly linking a second switch!!
