Just saw that Metroid Prime 4 costs $10 more on switch 2. It is a unique selling point that Switch 1 games cost more money on Switch 2. Wonderful. Thank you Nintendo for this feature.

@w1p3out they should think about the name "Arcade Controller" I guess?

When I upgraded my PC, I got a free upgrade to all my PC games. It's so weird, it's almost like the the same games running on upgraded hardware. All for "free".

I have never seen this kind of button layout in an arcade. The vast majority of arcade machines have joysticks.

@jsty3105 the thing is that sometimes a very minor crime like copying a digital file is not serious enough to fine more than a more serious crime like assault or dealing drugs. Drug dealers do not get fined more than their profit margin. Fines are not refunds. If it is proven that someone made $45000,000 out of piracy, then sure, seize the assets and give it to charity or something, but don't tell some kid operating from their bedroom that they owe life ruining sums of money. I can only assume that this debt is not expected to realistically be paid at all.

@jsty3105 I doubt many people buy pirate games when the main appeal of piracy is that you do not pay for the game.

@jsty3105 I think a fair fine for videogame piracy should be less than a fine for drug possession or trespassing. It should be less than DUI or domestic violence. Just my opinion. Pirating videogames, maybe $500 in USD is appropriate, in my unqualified opinion.

Not very high definition looking HD. I like the game and would certainly pay significantly less than the asking price, on a very deep sale to get this.

Nobody causes $4500,000 in damages by distributing roms. Some creative maths going on here.

I speculate that this is a low effort, high price port because they plan on releasing galaxy 3 closer to the movie release. They must want Galaxy 3 to look more next-gen in comparison. Easier to make the old ones look old than making a new one look new.

Third person only for me. I hope they also allow for fixed camera and allow for lower resolution, lower polygon graphics.

I wish they had a third person mode in Metroid Prime. I always fall off platforms and it feels unnatural to run and jump while looking at my shoes. Here's hoping for Prime 4,

Two pictures of the same character look similar...

@LEGEND_MARIOID no, I didn't assume they had multiple consoles. All I was saying is that a person that wants to play so many PS5 games would benefit from buying the machine that plays them.

@LEGEND_MARIOID the games will likely be cheaper on a PS5.

Looks like the writer of this article should really buy a PS5.

I'm late to the party of mentioning the playdate... ...playdate!

Due to the continued failure to address the motion issue with part 1. I am out.

I liked the trailer, graphics, style and animation look good. Lost interest as soon as I saw the word roguelike.

I thought this game was released already?

The switch version of this game contains the first two years worth of DLC, which is almost good. That said, I like to buy my games in their complete form so this does not appeal to me.

I played GTA San Andreas which was free via Netflix.

I'm thinking the Switch 2 is a bug-ridden Switch 1 Pro. Doesn't seem like much of an upgrade considering I would expect a Switch 1 to run 2D pixel art games at 60fps, and they can't even confirm Switch 2 can do it. Considering Switch 2 merely plays a new Mario kart game and patched versions of Switch 1 games, it is pretty much a Switch 1 pro, but with poor implementation with compatibility problems.

I want to know if you use a third party or 2nd hand plastic wheel, does it brick your Switch?

This may be my final Switch 1 game.

I think this was one of those games impacted by the Sweet Baby Inc fiasco.

If the idea of playstation games excites you, I recommend a playstation.

Those people mocking the idea that this couldn't be a fully functioning Gameboy. I do not agree. With actual effort and innovation, they could have made one.That said, it wouldn't be Lego anymore. While it is realistically possible, i wouldn't expect such effort and innovation from Lego or Nintendo. While it would be cool to have all sorts of Lego things that actually work, it isn't worth the development cost and it isn't actually what Lego is for or what Lego does. They shouldn't have animated the screen on the advertisement, as it is misleading and created the expectation that this should function.

The age has gone up because Nintendo games are so very expensive. Many kids can't afford to play.

Some very creative mathematics to get to 170 million. Copyright was infringed but nothing was actually stolen. Nintendo steal from customers all the time with their lack of a reasonable refund policy and anti-consumer practices. I don't feel sorry for Nintendo, I think it serves them right. Perhaps the FBI investigate Joy-Con drift or the misleading description of the Switch 2 screen, the fiasco with people having their consoles blocked for using a second hand game.

At this stage, I am really quite pleased with my choice to not buy a Switch 2.

Rather than blocking the user, they could have a pop-up requesting a unique code, printed on the cartridge. Or, if any of this is really necessary, ask, like people have been doing anyway, that the user email in a photo of the cartridge. If the user cannot provide a serial number, or cannot provide an image of the cartridge, I think then an initial warning should be given, explaining that if it persists the machine could be blocked and provide additional information and advice on how to avoid copied games. In addition, they should confirm the user, who is reading these notices is not under 18, because they cannot legally agree to terms and conditions and I can imagine kids skipping any kinds of warnings without reading them. Just blocking people, particularly on an expensive kids toy, should be illegal. Shame on Nintendo.

Firstly I refuse to pay for online subscriptions just to use my own internet connection with a device I paid for. This means all switches are blocked from online play for me. That said, if Nintendo blocked my ability to buy games online, that would be really dumb. The obvious solution would be to learn about other ways of getting the games beyond the store. Nintendo really has not thought this through. They are pushing people to boycott and pirate, or buy a different handheld.

These are ideal for when using a disabled parking spaces.

I am happy that so many people are underwhelmed, just because I didn't get one. I have a lot of games to play on switch 1, PC, PS5. There are a range of better and cheaper ways to play GameCube games, that doesn't limit you to a few games. The mouse mode is literally 1960s technology. If Metroid prime 4 runs well on Switch 1, I'll be very happy with my choice not to buy a Switch 2 right now.

So, you need to pay a subscription for these? No thanks.

From the trailer, it looks like it runs at 2 frames per second.

He fought a log.

$10,000 for 200 games is $50 each. I can't think of many switch games worth $50, certainly not 200. Perhaps the library was robbed by Nintendo too.

Wasn't this game announced in 2017? Surely it must have been out for a while now?

My switch is banned from using online services because I refuse to pay for NSO. It appears to be a ban via mutual agreement with Nintendo. I won't pay, and they won't let me play online for free.

@obijuankanoobie releasing something on the next console, when it could very well run on the previous model, just to drum up sales of the new machine is very anti-consumer. It wouldn't surprise me. Like when they pretended SNES games would only run on the New 3DS and not the 3DS. This kind of anti-consumer practice wouldn't push me to buy a Switch 2, it would put me off.

I wouldn't mind Windwaker HD on the original switch.

I suppose it can't help seeing the very same 3rd party games, the next shelf along, on sale, much cheaper on PS4/5.

"Will you be grabbing your Joy-Con for some light gun action this August? Let us know in the usual spot." Quite a callously misleading question, seeing as the game is very unlikely to have a light gun and while one Joy-Con has an IR sensor it has never been used as a light gun. Many peoples choice to buy this game hinges on whether or not it has a light gun or IR pointer functionality.

No IR sensor no buy! What was the point releasing a HOTD without lightgun? They messed up the first game by omitting the most important feature and they will likely do it again with the sequel.

Still ever so slowly catching up with dolphin.

Switch 2 doesn't even have an OLED screen. There are a lot of better ways of playing Switch 1 games especially if you have a MIG switch to free the games from crappy, flimsy, Nintendo hardware.

Switch 2 is too big for my liking and the screen seems cheap. I don't see the point in 120 refresh rate when it can't play Cyberpunk beyond 40fps.
