I've never played this game before, so I'll wait to get the S2 version and that'll be my first time playing SMB Wonder. Looking forward to it, although, not overly ecstatic about it either. It's long overdue for a new proper 3D Mario mainline game and follow-up for SMB Odyssey. It's too much of a gap between these mainline games honestly. And within the first year of a new Nintendo console generation I absolutely do expect a full mainline Mario game OR Zelda game. And this time around it seems we get none of that... Disappointing!

It would've been a good debut if she could actually show up in person. Pre-recorded messages on a screen is not a good debut. It's not good for anything at all, really.

Nintendo should go private. Seriously. They have a company morale and structure that doesn't work well with the crazy ***** investors demand these days.

@EVIL-C That's what happens when it's the most bundled title over several generations. I also bought the Switch 2 MKW bundle. Not because I was so interested in MKW, but simply because I got it for cheap. It's not a great game, and I wouldn't have bought it standalone when it's so bland and similar to MK8D which I already owned.

@larryisaman While that might have been true for MK8 Deluxe, MKW is simply too similar compared to MK8 Deluxe. So anyone that owns MK8D will probably see no need in getting MKW.

Mario Kart games also tends to "sell well" simply because they are the most bundled game. I bought the Switch 2 MKW bundle because it was more available, and it cost only $40 more than the standard bundle. That's one MKW sale, but, honestly, I don't really play it, and wasn't really that interested in it, but I got it for cheap, so why not... I'm fairly sure I'm not alone in that.

@deezcronuts Agreed. And neither does Mario Kart.
It's so strange they didn't time the release with a major 3D Mario title. It's been like 7-8 years since Mario Odyssey. I can understand that they didn't go with a mainline Zelda title, TOTK isn't that old, so that's understandable. And then add ontop of that the fact that Nintendo was extremely slow with shipping out development kits to 3rd party developers, which also prevented 3rd party devs from having Switch 2 editions ready at launch. Many developers didn't get devkits until months AFTER the Switch 2 released.

Nothing makes sense.

Atlus, please patch Persona 5 Royal. You know, the absolutely best game in the series. The performance on the Switch 2 is extremely underwhelming as it is. It is literally running with HALF the resolution of the S2 display in portable mode.

Persona 5 Royal Switch 2 patch please.

@Repete yeah, for a 1080p docked res it sure looks soft and fuzzy, even with anti-aliasing set to off. Looks good hand-held though.

If the game cart doesn't offer fast enough performance, then put the game on the cart anyway, and let me install it to the SSD or SD card, just like I install any disc based game to the consoles internal storage. This has been normal for a couple generations now!

That way the full game is always on the game cart, problem fixed.

The Switch 2 could easily run this game at 60fps if the developers just bothered putting some effort into this release. What a garbage release.

I dunno, seems like there review score here on NL is based on nostalgia for the franchise. I agree strongly with SkillUp's review on youtube, and would not recommend this game: https://youtu.be/BdyQDAL_WwQ?si=oxaGVkom-DU5PsJ1

I did love Dread.

I didn't enjoy Xenoblade 2, but I'd love to see Switch 2 patches for 1 and 3. I still haven't played 3, and I'm waiting for a Switch 2 patch before I start it.

Nightrein is totally uninteresting. This looks just as uninteresting. Give me DS1, DS2 and DS3 remakes + Sekiro and the planned Elden Ring for Switch 2 instead.

@WhiteTrashGuy Indy will guaranteed be key-card. It's Microsoft after all, they are the worst. They have been putting all their games out on discs with just a 2-3MB sized data which is basically a link to download the game for years.

I'm sure AC: Shadows will be on sale by new-years (It's Ubisoft after all)

@WhiteTrashGuy Oh! I didn't know that. Here the physical release is just a cover with a code in it. It says on the cover (lower right corner): Download code only. No gamecard is included!

Maybe it differs between regions. I see some people on Reddit also said that new shipments (past a certain date) went from being cart to code only. I just purchased the code only, because it was being sold for less than half than the eShop version. And it's literally the exact same.

I would put a picture of the cover here but it's not possible.

@WhiteTrashGuy The physical version of RDR on Switch 1 is just a code in a box. It just gives you code on a piece of paper that you can enter in the eShop to get the digital version in your library... So buying it digital or "physical" results in the exact same thing. Which means the update will be free for it also.

Just bought the physical edition (but it's code in a box) release for dirt cheap for Switch. Looking forward to the free upgrade!

Geez people, have some patience. The S2 has been out for 4 months. Many developers just recently got devkits. Porting can't start before you have a devkit.

Also consider porting from Xbox to PS5 is super easy. It's the exact same AMD tech in both consoles, with minor variations. So porting will be fast and easy. And devkits have been available for 5 years! The S2 with its Nvidia and ARM based CPU and GPU is vastly different, so porting will require a lot more work. Employees have to learn a new devkit, which also takes time.

More work equals more time! And they might just have received the necessary devkits to start working on it. Nintendo being slow with distributing devkits is a big reason. If Nintendo pushed out devkits 6 months prior to the S2 release, im sure the situation would be different.

Try to be realistic.
