@MTMike87 We'll have a guide for the Best Arcade Controllers very soon; you'll be able quickly access every review in one place.

We have the same available for standard Switch 2 controllers - https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/best-nintendo-switch-2-controllers

@Earl_Grey Yes, you can.

@KingMinosOfKnossos Okay..? Perhaps play it and make your own mind up.

It's a good idea to copy your save file regardless, but the text from GameSpot doesn't mention that you're given the choice to save your game upon beating the final boss. If you want to go back and load up the manual save prior to entering the final section, you can just select 'No'.

The way it's written makes it sound like the game gives you no choice in the matter, but this isn't true.

@MasterGraveheart I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they update the game at a later point to make it optional; or at least lessen the instances in which he contacts via radio.

@MCHuddle It's a great feature, and it's locked behind an amiibo. Yeah, it's a con.

@Elektrogeist1287 The puzzles are great; some of the best in the series, and there are plenty of them.
Despite the added dialogue from the Federation Troopers, much of the game is quiet and isolating, with some areas completely without power or enemies for long stretches of time. It's equal parts calming and unsettling.
There are also loads of Lamorn Lore scans to add to your logbook, and this massively fleshes out the overarching narrative.

@Insert_Username Some sections certainly prove taxing, but there's nothing quite on the same level as, say, the boss fights from Dread.
Hard difficulty is a big step up, however, since the enemies deal more damage, and save stations don't replenish your ammo.

@Moroboshi876 No, not really. This is a fresh start for the Prime series. Most, if not all, of the plot elements from 2 and 3 are absent here.

Thanks for reading, folks! If you have any questions, do let me know. I'll try my best to answer.

@Erigen I think I just felt my soul leave my body for a moment.

@iLikeUrAttitude This really just demonstrates how much this style of writing has been shoved down our throats over the past 15 years or so. It was cute back in the days of Buffy and Angel, but Marvel took it to the extreme.

@Spider-Kev Yeah that was 2006 – you had me doubting myself for a moment!

@JaxonH I don't believe there's an issue with it, but gyro seems to be limited to camera control when sitting at camp fires. You can't aim weapons with it. Very weird decision, but there you go.

Visuals look really nice too; my fears were unfounded.

@OldGamer999 It's 60fps on Switch 2 with gyro aiming, touchscreen support, and mouse support.

@Bobobiwan Yes! It's in the works

@OldGamer999 Downloading now, I'll confirm shortly.

@Lizuka Yeah, it was never in the running, sadly. Expect to see it in NL's list

@gaga64 Ha, yes indeed.

@Spider-Kev I don't want to be rude, but you're on a Nintendo-focused site, and this is a publicly-released trailer for a major Super Mario movie. I'd suggest taking some steps to curate what you view online. This will be everywhere.

@the_beaver We'll have a review for the Switch 2 release of Kiwami later today. Thanks!

@LastFootnote This is Pokémon we're talking about.

@Dr_Wright Nope. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book appears to the closest we'll get to a "tie-in" release. A new 3D Mario will come, but I think it'll be something completely new. Happy to be wrong, mind you.

@Anti-Matter "Also, I will not call Switch 2 great sales as a success. It was an unfair situation in my opinion."

I'm genuinely curious, what do you mean by this?

@AmplifyMJ Sony must be scrambling to get its handheld device ready.

@KayFiOS We're speculating based on online chatter. In fact, I literally state in the article that I don't think it's him. I could have easily done the same for Kraid, or Mother Brain. Don't read too much into it.

@Nintoz Thank you! It's been a rush this morning

@ShadLink It's Zelda's 40th next year, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of port or remake.

@lovesushi Probably UMK3.

@OhioStateBuckeyes I think this is another thing Digital Eclipse is currently investigating. At least in terms of the audio.

@SBandy1 I didn't say "all", did I?

@MoldyPasta Honestly, probably not. Digital pre-orders via the eShop wouldn't count, and anything at retail wouldn't be properly processed until launch.

@AStupidID Sure, great point!

@Robot99 A lot of folks have been under the impression that a MP2 remaster/remake is done and has just been waiting in the wings. The quote seems to suggest that probably isn't the case.

@N00BiSH Prime Remastered was conceived well before development of MP4 commenced with Bandai Namco. We're talking 2014.

@Rob3008 Not Niantic anymore. Scopely works on it now.

Heh, nice one! It's a great game; very addictive.

@AJWolfTill The bosses replace one another upon defeat, constantly looping to keep your score going.

@kevinm360 Yeah, we'll have some impressions of the Switch version at launch, but I'm fully expecting it to be a bit naff.

@canaryfarmer Engagement. It got people talking.

Definitely Pikmin. Very familiar music, especially when it first starts at 0:30. Probably just a new series of shorts, but it'd be neat if it leads into a new game announcement.

@Metaphor1987 It's been available on all three of those platforms for months. At the time of writing, Bloober's webpage for the game still just shows Steam and PS5.

@ibookboyuk Yep, good catch, thanks!

@Jayenkai We have a Staff Page, and you can click each member's name to find out more.

@Debo626 We'll look into it, sure!

@w1p3out Oh yeah, for sure, it's comparable to the Hit Box Ultra, Snack Box Micro, and many others. But there has also been a huge wave of more budget options, especially from Cosmox itself.

@BrokenCiv Yeah it's a soap opera, all fixed.

@Yoshi3 Thankfully, no. The team got in touch with me prior to the article's release and proved that, remarkably, its similarity is a coincidence.

@DarthXenos Sure, you can, but if you pick it up with the front panel, gravity will soon prove that it's intended to be used together as a set. It's not secure enough on its own or with the Joy-Con grips.
