Just wish they'd fix the online for Smash. It's so awful. Would be nice to see a 4K upgrade as well, but online takes priority.

I'm fine with that. What's important is that we're getting a big new 3D platformer from the Odyssey team. Doesn't matter that it doesn't star Mario.

Honestly kind of afraid that Nintendo would brick my system just for using this.

Huge nostalgia for me for the original Gex since I was there day one for it on the 3DO back in the day. It's not a great game, but it brings back the feels for me!

@rvcolem1 I mean, DK64 was a Rare game way back on the N64. So it's not even comparable to the new game.

This is such a massive improvement over the previous game in the series. I genuinely did not like RMX, because the handling never felt good to play. But Fusion feels so much better. They definitely listened to the criticisms.

That said, the game is surprisingly blurry. It is not 4K even in the quality mode. There's also a ton of artifacting in the distance. Still a great looking game, but it feels very unlike a Shin'en game to me on the technical front.

@Danrenfroe2016 Nah, it's a 4K upload and the text, UI, and logos are all 4K. It's the in-game rendering that's low res in the trailer. Thankfully they've said that the game will have a day one update to add a 4K 60fps quality mode (hopefully sable 60fps). It's just really odd that they'd choose to present the game in this way for its first big trailer.

@gcunit Nope, not a settings issue since the text and logos in the trailer are clearly 4K. It's the in-game 3D rendering that is low res.

I'm surprised by how low res it looks in the trailer. It doesn't even look like it's hitting 1080p. Which is really surprising coming from Shin'en. I know there are different graphics modes, but I expected even the performance mode to render at a higher resolution than that.

He seriously needs to learn when to close his mouth and let the bad press dissipate. He's a classic self-destructive narcissist who loves to keep himself in the news cycle to his own detriment.

@MamaSymphonia It will very likely at least run at a locked 30fps on Switch 2 with the extra horsepower. But yeah, it'll need a patch to unlock that to 60fps.

Very strange to list these modes without explaining why you would choose the performance mode over the higher quality modes when they are all listed as 60fps. Sure, the quality mode might drops frames, but they don't mention that, which is weird. Make that clear for the user.

Heck yeah, I can't wait for this one! These games are legit amazing.

@larryisaman Honestly, a big part of the problem is that Steam allows you to review early access games. It's a feature that exists, and for better or worse, people are going to use it. I also genuinely believe that there are people out there who don't know or understand exactly what early access means. Never underestimate how uninformed some people are. Even when the explanation is right there in the description of the game.

More of this please! 120fps makes a huge difference in 2D games with a lot of lateral scrolling especially since it dramatically reduces the motion blur from modern TVs' sample-and-hold technology. I've hated it ever since I got my first OLED TV (had CRTs and plasma TVs before that).

I've always been digital only with the Switch, so no way I'm buying a physical card that takes away the one benefit of digital.

My most wanted upgrades would be 60fps options for the Xenoblade games. I will even pay for it if I have to!

After that, give me 4K Smash Ultimate with improved online.

Haha, insert the Futurama "I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked." GIF.

@RiasGremory Uhh...we whined about N64 game prices all the dang time back in the day.

So rare that it belongs in a museum!

I hope that the true ending requirements aren't as annoying as they were in the first game.

I'll give the game a shot if only as a visual showpiece for the hardware at launch. I honestly never really liked Fast RMX much, because it absolutely pales in comparison to F-Zero. But at least Shin'en knows how to really show what gaming hardware can do from a technical standpoint. Just wish they were better game designers.

Thankfully we at least have a fan translated version on the SNES. And soon a Saturn version as well! But yeah, I'm shocked that Konami is still too afraid of the western market for this game. You'd think by now they'd realize that people outside of Japan would be interested in it.

These games are A+ RPGs. If you've never played them, you're in for a treat. Personally, I'm still good with my PS1 copies of the games, but these sound pretty solid overall if you don't have access to the PS1 versions.

Finally some genuinely good news! I've been asking for this the entire Switch lifespan.

This has to be one of the most unanimous votes I've ever seen here. Love to see that people actually can agree on something!

It's not for me at all either. But in my case, it's more for health reasons due to a disability. Using a mouse absolutely Fs up my rheumatoid arthritis.

Gamestop brand? What? Not sure I'd trust that one.

Should absolutely be a free pack-in game. I will not be giving them my money for this.

I 100% expect the preorder situation to be a complete disaster. It was for the PS5, and it will be again for the Switch 2. Scalper bots will win the day and bring websites to their knees like always. I am not looking forward to it.

@Zverik I can't speak for the Switch version, but the PS5 version does not have gyro. I honestly wish I could refund the game. They added gyro to Bit.Trip Beat like 15 years ago on the Wii. No excuse to not have it here in 2025.

Just inject it directly into my veins.

I've always assumed that Prime 4 would be a cross platform game. One purchase, but added Switch 2 visual benefits if played on that console.

@Antraxx777 You have experienced it. Not noticing and not experiencing are two very different things.

Still not worth it if they didn't fix the stuttering. It's so bad in these versions. Just play the originals any way you can.

1 and 2 are easy 10/10 games. 3 is a solid 9/10. X is also a solid 9/10.

This comment section is going to be a flame war to end all flame wars... 😬

For me, the true ending requirement for Suikoden II is terrible and really soured my opinion of that game back in the day. You basically need a guide to achieve it, even if you've already recruited every character, you still won't get it without meeting specific requirements. Which is a shame, because the rest of that game is an S-tier RPG.

I'm both super excited and worried about March 20th! Excited because I flipp'n love this game! Worried, because I know I'm not going to finish Trails Through Daybreak II in time for it!

If they do it again in the same style as the Diamond/Pearl remake, then I hope they don't bother. When the remake looks worse than the original, you have a problem.

Played the demo, and it is rough on Switch and PS5, but for different, but similar reasons.

On Switch, it has an insanely long initial loading time when booting it up. But more importantly, the visuals are blurry (like an ugly bilinear filter is applied) and it has some minor uneven pixel scaling, which really kills the classic PC-98 look the game is going for. These games live and die by their pixel art.

Ironically, the PS5 version is even worse. Its pixel scaling is absolutely atrocious. It's so bad that the artwork is basically destroyed. The dither patterns (a hallmark of PC-98 games) are so bad looking that I genuinely wonder if the developers actually looked at their game. It's clearly not outputting at 4K, which would really help the nearest neighbor scaling it seems to be using. It looks like it's something like a 720p nearest neighbor scale or something similar.

Night Striker is the cream of this crop! But it's a shame that they're not including the Saturn version. Also, I assume that they're going to include gyro controls for the lightgun games?

Honestly, this is one of my least favorite Tales games, so this one is not for me. I played through it once on the PS3 back in the day, and that was enough. They need to bring back Eternia.

Honestly, this sounds like what the Hollow Knight devs have probably been going through. The pressure to one-up themselves after the success of their last game. Which has led to Silk Song having massive scope creep and way too long of a dev process. I do think Silk Song will release eventually though.

7/10
Great game, not so great port.

Empty words coming from a company who's actions prove otherwise.

One of the most tone deaf statement ever made by Nintendo. And that's saying a lot coming from them.

Not surprising considering how good the demo was. One of the best looking pixel art games ever made, and it played great.

People really need to chill with the comments about it not scoring the same grade as the original when it's a different reviewer.

Anyway, I'll personally take an upgrade like this over what they did to Paper Mario TTYD where they cut the frame rate in half in favor of upgraded visuals for a game that already looked great to begin with in its original incarnation. Not worth it in my opinion.

The color is way too muted in this. The original isn't exactly the most vibrant game in the world, but it isn't nearly this drab.
