These look nice. But tape cases were also pretty breakable. But I would be glad if Switch cases would smaller, at least in length. The cartridge inside is tiny and mostly there's no booklet inside.
Yeah maybe in a half year, I will get the Switch 2... When the system is finally completed, has no crashing issues, no battery problems and so on. When more colors are available than black and hopefully, the system already dropped it's price because the sales will go down with the current prices. Than I will get it with Mario Kart and Donkey Kong.
@Anti-Matter why would you get a Switch OLED now? It's the best Switch model, yeah, but I would wait until the first Switch 2 spook is over and discounts are starting.
@Anti-Matter what? Sonic seems to be a great Switch 2 port. I hate these game key cards things as well. I even hate way more, that XBox is bringing more and more games digital only. But I guess, there is no holding back anymore.
What a great console time, where low spec systems do the math. The Series S sold pretty solid, thanks to that, disc games are dying on XBox and Nintendo users are glad, that their new 500£ system is almost as strong as a Series S. 🤦🏻♂️
I won't buy a Switch 2 very soon. I will keep an eye on it and wait for updates, price drop, revision, maybe a different color. But so far, I'm not sold and the only game I would play is Mario Kart. I don't need it for the rest of the launch games.
I'm sorry for them. But to be honest, I played both and were disappointed. The first Yooka was an OK attempt to copy Banjo Kazooie. The 2nd game was mediocre at best and also a very uncreative copy of DK Country. What were they expecting?
This review is over the fence. Yeah, it was the peak of this franchise together with SC3. But it's not that good, that it ruins modern fighting games. Tekken 8 or Street Fighter 6 are in a different league of combat perfection. So SC2 was a really nice game back then, but not a 10/10.
I'm actually not surprised. I don't know, from what these devs were living the past years. Both Yooka games weren't the big banger, people hoped for. Both tried to copy older Rare games and kinda did it, but weaker.
I pre ordered the US version from Play-Asia. Sadly, no sign of shipment so far. Weird thing, a retailer here in Germany already got it on stock. If they don't send it out soon, it's again a cancel.
I already enjoyed some hours of this game on XBox, where the performance is, of course, great. As someone who wants to play this on Switch, I would also recommend waiting for Switch 2.
As someone who has the Series X version since launch, 60 for the game + both seasons sounds like a steal. The DLCs are very expensive in that game, so every Switch 2 buyer who wants that game, should absolutely buy the year 1 and 2 version.
@HugoGED do you think it's such a difference on PS5? There's maybe more data on the disc. But still, without internet, you get nothing. There are a lot of updates since it came out.
The PS and Nintendo site's only problems these days.... Is Halo coming??? Is Gears coming??? How about shut the .... I hope Microsoft doesn't really do crap like this in the end and leave these games on XBox, where they belong!
What a joke. 😂 After being so kind to the Wii U fanbase and canceling everything so quick, they really dare to tell this to us. The Homebrew community is awesome and does so much good stuff for us gamers.
As a long time Sonic fan, I'm not that excited. The new version of Sonic Generations was more of a lazy port. The included Shadow Generations is not bad, the stages are made well and even play better than the main game. But this white world around is annoying. I didn't watch the movie yet, I guess I will wait for the disc release.
A pure 10. It was amazing. If the rumors are true and the next Nintendo system is like a PS4, maybe PS4 pro(and I'm sure that's the max level), than history will repeat and again, Nintendo versions of the games will have big cut downs. I don't care, since I'm playing a lot on PS5 and also Series X.
I'm pretty sure it's coming sooner or later. But even if not, I couldn't care less. I can play it on my original N64 or on Wii U. And that's working without paying 40€ per year.
"finally" sounds like every second person was waiting for this game to come. 😁
And don't get me wrong, it's not these are crap games. I'm almost buying none of these collections on Switch. These are titles that let the collection in the shelf explode and you're not playing them.
I sold a lot of Switch games in the meantime, since there is too much to play and no one has the lifetime for all of this.
On Series X, it's a bit less overwhelming since the old 360 version is playable since a long time and looks almost the same with the upgrade on Series X. But still a great game. And of course a great release for Nintendo onlys, who can enjoy it for the first time. It's not a great year for the Switch, so Sonic should be one of the best releases there.
@Maubari ??? It's a great year to me. So many awesome games, but actually not on Switch. The games I bought on Switch this year aren't many. That's just Mario Party Jamboree, Shadow of the Ninja, Princess Peach Showtime and Mario vs Donkey Kong. My PS5 and Series X on the other side are very busy right now.

Re: PSA: Select GameCube Games Can Be Played In Widescreen Mode On Switch 2
@OtterXPT you can play all Gamecube games on a Wii U without an expensive subscription. Wii U is a far better deal for that.

Re: Mini Review: Sonic X Shadow Generations (Switch 2) - Definitely Improved, But SEGA's Shafting Early Adopters
@Andee9001 slightly higher resolution? The Switch 2 is on a different league than the Switch 1 version.
Seems to be one of the best ports so far.

I have also no interest in an Xbox handheld. But besides that, the Series X is my favorite console this generation.
I'm in for another Xbox.

Re: Review: SoulCalibur II (GameCube) - One Of The Best Fighters Ever, Playable Oh-So-Soon On Switch 2
@Anakin absolutely, or using a Wii or Wii U.
Re: Review: SoulCalibur II (GameCube) - One Of The Best Fighters Ever, Playable Oh-So-Soon On Switch 2

Thank you, I was asking myself what the new update on my Xbox is about.
Maybe I'll raise the difficulty.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Capcom Fighting Collection 2
As I was expecting, Play-Asia didn't get it. Pending stock and they don't know when it's coming. So I canceled my order.
This site is a joke.

I pre ordered the US version from Play-Asia. Sadly, no sign of shipment so far. Weird thing, a retailer here in Germany already got it on stock.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
Could happen, but it would be the same game like the current gen.
I wouldn't want to play it on Switch 2 because it's the technically weakest version.

Re: Nintendo Highlights Multiple Switch Games Launching In 2025
Metroid Prime 4 and Capcom Fighting Collection 2 for me.
The Tomb Raider Collection 4-6 will be bought on PS5, when it comes out physical.
And sorry Nintendo, I won't buy a full price port of Donkey Kong Country Returns. I have my 3DS version ready, when I want to play it.

Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Surpasses One Million Sales In Opening Weekend
On Series X, it's a bit less overwhelming since the old 360 version is playable since a long time and looks almost the same with the upgrade on Series X.
But still a great game.
And of course a great release for Nintendo onlys, who can enjoy it for the first time.
It's not a great year for the Switch, so Sonic should be one of the best releases there.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Surpasses One Million Sales In Opening Weekend
@Maubari yeah, and you can still buy extra life for 500 tickets, which is so stupid. I can't believe the developers seeped on that.
Re: Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Receives A New Update, Here's What's Included
@Maubari ???
It's a great year to me. So many awesome games, but actually not on Switch. The games I bought on Switch this year aren't many. That's just Mario Party Jamboree, Shadow of the Ninja, Princess Peach Showtime and Mario vs Donkey Kong.
My PS5 and Series X on the other side are very busy right now.
