I think at that size a 1440p 120hz display would be a much better fit for Switch 2.

Edit: 650!? And you need another pricey accessory? Dead on arrival, really.

@kal_el_07241 I wouldn't take a FromSoft game as a better example with their middling optimisation skills.

Criminal that this is still capped at 720p 30fps docked.

I would be okay with the fps but I'd at least like the trilogy to match X's 1080p output if nothing else.

Crying shame this never had a multiplatform release. It still theoretically could but it obviously would never be content complete now.

@AlleyCat Yeah I wouldn't worry about that, it's very uncommon to not get a Deluxe Edition upgrade pack. They usually aren't available pre launch.

I would hope so, this is being marketed as a 30th anniversary celebration game, with a return to Raccoon City. They've gotta include the OGs and wrap up some loose ends.

Releasing this before Xillia 2's remaster seems weird, but it starts to make sense when you look at the credits for other Tales remasters.

Graces F remastered by TOSE
Xillia Remastered by Doki Doki Groove Works

Bandai are commissioning multiple teams to work on these projects and this is likely a different developer than Doki Doki who will likely have started working on Xillia 2 just recently.

@Metazoxan Nintendo doesn't need to try to make money here. They surely already made all of their money back making this DLC on it's launch week.

@Solid_Python @dskatter The PC port had some issues with some minigames and combos being harder to perform, some of them are fixed by a mod. You would hope a new console release would allow the opportunity to fix the issues, they figured it out with later Dragon Engine titles. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks...

@Medic_alert A bit of Wonder too with Bowser Jr's appearance resembling the Wonder Flower form.

I'm choosing to believe that Miyamoto handpicked Benny himself after watching Good Time and Uncut Gems.

@RareFan Yeah man, let's not get an Academy Award winning actress because she made nerds mad when she made Captain Marvel. Take a day off pal, breathe some fresh air.

@dskatter PS5 should have no issue with 60fps, all the others hit that target and push the engine more. it just leaves Yakuza 6 as the only entry on PS with a 30fps cap (until that gets it's Switch 2 port and they get around to doing a PS5 conversion shortly after as with this game).

So it's confirmed 30 frames then. Interesting, the trailers had some bits that seemed to be running unlocked. I guess they couldn't nail a consistent 60 and went with the cap. Fair enough.

@Potimarron You can. It's not the highest salary out there, but you can make do as a single person. I know people who have moved there and get around the same salary, it works for them and they're comfortable.

@TripleJump I think people underestimate the work needed to implement proper 60fps support to games that were specifically designed to run at 30fps. It's not as simple as flipping the switch and having everything just work. Same applies for games with 60fps caps getting 120fps+ mods and patches.

If nothing else I'd honestly be fine with resolution bumps, especially for 1-3 where the dynamic res caps are still too blurry on Switch 2.

@PikaPhantom Sounds like a big upgrade from Shadow Generations on Switch 2. That was 1080p/30 or 720p/60. Fairly lousy for a game with no upgrade path.

Covid-era investments in the game industry paying off once again.

@ShadowRJ I'd say pretty much every Game Gear Sonic is worse than Superstars. Yeah, not the worst when Sonic Blast exists.

This series getting a re-release truly puts into perspective how bad Bamco are when it comes to their retro fighting catalogue. They'll reluctantly put some emulated ISOs for Switch Online and PS Plus, but no standalone releases.

@GinMiguel I'm hoping for them to greenlight a Shadow movie spinoff, would be a great way to bring in Rogue and Omega, while Sonic 4 can focus on Amy and Metal. Bring both teams together for a fifth movie afterwards.

@Moroboshi876 Well Sega have confirmed in a press release that it will have the game on a physical cartridge, that much isn't a rumour.

@Moroboshi876 Well Sega have confirmed in a press release that it will have the game on a physical cartridge, that much isn't a rumour.

@andykara2003 that would be perfect. Make it small enough to slot on top of the dock even.

Mouse controls for single player would have been an easy slam dunk for this. You get the accuracy of Wii pointer controls without the need to recalibrate all the time with joy con gyro. Nintendo love to be needlessly restrictive with things like this - could have been the best implementation so far of mouse mode!

Maybe they'll push an update for it if we're lucky. 3D All-Stars didn't have GameCube controller support for Sunshine at first.

Why is it so hard to just port Championship Edition DX Plus?

Some of you are expecting a lot from a sub £400, 20W handheld if you want every game on it to run at 60fps.

Don't they always

@Serpenterror Minecraft characters are DLC, not base game. Okay, if Transformed isn't purchasable on PS3's PSN anymore I was wrong on that. It's still available for Steam and Xbox though (Let's be honest, Steam is where 95% of new purchases will be). I'm looking at the store pages right now, they both have a purchase option with pricing.

@MirrorFate2 @Coolmusic The case was dismissed a month ago, but Epic was asking Sega about possibly licensing Live and Learn for Fortnite about two weeks ago and they said to contact Johnny - no reason to do that when it had been proven he had no ownership. At the time of the suit being filed Johnny was saying he did not have any bad blood with Sega and just wanted to clear up the matter of who owns what. If he still feels that way, new Crush 40 music is possible.

On the other hand, Crossworlds has a jukebox mode where you can play music from across the series, but none of the Crush 40 songs feature. Perhaps this was done because they were still awaiting a verdict.

Things don't look clear at the moment, but I would understand if Johnny is peeved about the outcome and chooses not to play ball. Legally, Sega should be able to continue using the old songs as they please.

@Serpenterror They've sidestepped that issue entirely by making the third party characters paid DLC. If licenses ever expire and they don't renew them, the game itself will be safe. That's a very long term issue though, Transformed is actually still available to purchase on Xbox, PS3 and Steam 13 years later (you may have been mistaken for some other Sonic delistings) and that has Disney licensing.

@Lizuka Especially when it's a game mechanic you didn't even invent. Megami Tensei, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest all had summoning creatures mechanics years before Pokemon.

@MTMike87 Megapixel Studio were the developers. Sega were only involved as IP holders.

Panzer Dragoon 1 was easily one of Forever's best remakes, but still not perfect. Hopefully the extra time means a better result than the HOTD remakes.

You could probably make the game work by using the two analogue sticks, Katamari style.

The question is would Nintendo want to do this when the entire point is to show off what you can do with a pair of mice?

@Oppyz666 It wouldn't have made it to 5 years of active support if people didn't play.

I hope we get a double serving of both Xillia titles.

All I want is to be able to use the screenshot button for screenshot on PC, they change it to Turbo on PC and you can't change it. Only 8Bitdo's Xbox controllers seem to have PC screenshot support, but they don't have gyro controls and aren't Switch compatible.

50,000 8Bitdo controllers and none of them have all of the features, despite having a line of "Ultimate" controllers.

@Justaguest She's quite chatty in the demo.

@CasualTalkRadio I don't think Adventures of Elliot is particularly unique though. "Adventures/Legend of [Insert Noun Here] is pretty standard stuff. It's generic at worst, but not at all in the same category of some other Square Enix titles.

@Scoopz These guys won't listen. They've had it in their minds that the Switch needs to beat the PS2 hardware sales for some kind of sense of validation, they've been hoping for it for years. When Sony updated the numbers last year for all of their systems to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PS they took it personally and just claimed it was made up despite multiple sources, "people only bought PS2s to play DVDs anyway", and there are even people in here disputing the accuracy of the prior 155 million number.

Very immature behaviour, you don't need to beat down the PS2's astounding success to prop up the Switch's success, they are both incredible machine. Two legends can co-exist as they say.

@StewdaMegaManNerd No they didn't. Look at PS2 software sales vs Switch, there's not much of a difference. People bought PS2s to play games, DVDs were a bonus.

Switch software sales are currently at 1.42 billion.
PS2 software sales by the end of life are 1.54 billion.

@nhSnork Right? Adventures of Elliot is a pretty normal sounding title for a game. What's wrong with the name Elliot?

@ThaBEN Better quality CRT filters and 1080p on handheld instead of 720p upscaled I suppose.

@Solid_Python I agree, it's nice that Nintendo doesn't make people pay for the 64GB card if you buy digital. Should be standard.

@Pak-Man "nobody's gonna double-dip for a small performance upgrade"

I wish Sega got that memo.

Well it's very Sega, isn't it?

Interesting that Square Enix won't do Switch 2 upgrades for their other games, but this one had a free patch.

@Sambuc @MathByThePixel They are making a 3D Rayman, they've had job listings for Rayman Brand 3D Animators.

@AmplifyMJ I remember that!

@Anti-Matter "That means, the game will have a chance to get physical release for PS5."

There is literally zero correlation between games releasing on Switch and not getting physical releases for Playstation.
