I struggle to tell the difference between fps. The only time 30 ever felt clunky was when I would play starfield on my laptop at 140fps+ then play on my Xbox at 30. The sensation only lasted for about twenty mins then it felt normal again. It's wild that the quality mode on this game is 60, while performance ramps up to 120 on console. Wow. I'll defo be playing quality at a frame rate far above what I normally play games at.
@topsekret I'd argue the only perk is the storage control. I'm not worried in the slightest about 30 years in the future when the game may, or may not be unavailable. The ones I truly want to keep and play again I'll probably keep installed anyway so it's a moot point.
@topsekret physical only player here, and it's been a great generation for me too. Digging into Cronos since it just had its physical release. You should try it!
@KevinP I bought the controller for myself, so no, I treated myself to an overpriced product that I wanted. If it's not worth it to you, then don't buy it but don't try to make someone feel bad about buying something they like.
@Fake-news except..... When you buy a game, play it, sell it to someone else who wants to play it and on and on, you actually reduce waste and everyone saves a little money. Actually a much better system.
Anyone play the batman arkham series? Well, first two were sick. And in the third one they added in the batmobile. The driving parts were lame as hell and they tried to shoehorn it into pretty much any part of the game. I think that game would have been so much better if they axed the car, and I hope mp4 does not leave me feeling the same way.
Well on the plus side, nothing worth buying from this direct this year minus metroid in December. Everything else is next year so I'll have some time to finish up wind waker and a few game pass titles dropping next month like Ninja gaiden 4 and outer worlds 2.
Depends. I found having to use the touch screen to emulate the Wii gimmicks offputting for switch with 3d all stars. If they fixed that stuff, I might give it another go. If it's just ported across with all the Wii mechanics in place, pass.
@N8tiveT3ch just seems disingenuous to say it sucks, is horrible and a waste of time if your only real gripe is you don't like the world. At its core it's a tight performing metroidvania platformer that sticks to that script very tightly, so if you're a fan of the genre I think you're just making bombastic statements to incite fans of the series.
@N8tiveT3ch sounds like you hate platformers. Not sure why you'd play a genre you dislike then act like the game sucks as a result. I strongly dislike rogue lites or whatever, but you don't see me saying hades blows.
Might have just sold me on this. Used to be a star wars nut in my younger days but the absolute dilution of quality with the never ending star wars content had me out. Being set during the empire and Jedi returns is a big selling point, I loved that era.
Also, why does anyone honestly care about game key cards? For all your uses and purposes it is exactly like a full game on cart, oh, minus the fact that it actually runs faster since it can read off your system faster than it can off a cartridge.
Game looks alright. Name is horrible. People need to stop complaining about game key cards. Who. Cares. You'll get a cartridge that you'll use to install and play the game with alllll the same resale options. It's not a big deal.
There was a time in my younger days when anything star wars would have immediately grabbed my attention, but the over saturation of content and introduction of cast and characters that I really juat don't give a hoot about, makes it so seeing star wars is... Meh. How much of that is due to my getting older and how much is due to the new stuff actually stinking more is up for debate, either way this one didn't move the needle for me
All I'm gonna say is that Nintendo can either release wwhd, metroid prime 2/3 remastered (or just ported) and sell them to me, or else I'll find...... Alternate ways to play them for free.

@Serpenterror Fake game. Lol. Go touch grass man, they're very real games that you can play. You know, the thing you're supposed to do with games!

Re: Resident Evil Pro Controller Is Available To Pre-Order, But Its Price Is Terrifying
Well. I pre ordered it anyway, price be damned. I've loved resident evil since the og on ps1. Treated myself.
Re: Bloober Team Calls Cronos A "Huge Success", But Isn't Working On A Sequel
I've got the physical on pre order, good to hear that they patched it. Looking forward to diving in in a few weeks here.

Re: Surprise! A New "Free-To-Start" Fire Emblem Game Is Out On Mobile Devices Today
What a farce. Embarassing use of the IP to squeeze some microtransaction money out of some people with a lame mobile game. This is shameful.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake For Switch 2 Slips Into 2026, Game-Key Card Confirmed
Never got to play the remake before as I'm an Xbox/switch guy. But I loved the original back in the day, so I'll give this a spin.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets A Release Date, Open World Confirmed
Somehow this trailer has dampened my hype.... I'm still gonna get it because I'm sure it'll be good, but open world, really?

Re: Review: Cronos: The New Dawn (Switch 2) - Strong Story Elevates Otherwise Safe Survival Horror
Can't wait to buy this on game key card once physical copies are available in Canada. One more month!
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart World Takes The Lead While Cronos Sees Weak Sales On Switch 2
Will definitely be buying Cronos on my switch 2. Game key card, who cares. It's just not available in physical form yet so I have to wait a month.
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
@dskatter imagine if everyone loudly exclaimed what they weren't buying every time something they didn't like came out. Yikes.

Re: Comic Adaptation 'I Hate This Place' Stalks Onto Switch This November
Game looks neat. As a horror fan I'll give it a spin when it comes out.
Re: Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, Silksong All Playable At Nintendo's Gamescom Booth
Forgive my ignorance, but do release dates and stuff get announced at gamescom? Could we be getting a MP 4 release date potentially?
