@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.

Just like the Kadokawa situation last year this is entirely about the anime and manga business. People were freaking out about Sony wanting to make FromSoft exclusive to PS but it was never the intention. At least on the gaming front there is no concern, you might have a problem with Sony dominating the anime market though.

@dskatter It's just shy of 75GBs on Switch 2. Apparently a lot of that is 4K video files. PS5 version is 110 for comparison.

Did... hang on, did you just port yourself to the Switch?!

He's partially right. I find it hard to get enthusiastic about anything Star Wars these days. I still haven't watched Season 2 of Andor. There's been a deluge of middling content bearing the Star Wars brand (Same can be said for Ubisoft)!

@GameOverScreen "But they had to make it weird." Weird = Playing as a woman.

Even in 720p it can still drop to the low 40s/high 30s. It's a very CPU limited game, only so much resolution and graphics downgrades can do for it. I'm surprised they didn't test 1440p.

FSR1 in the big 2025 when you have access to DLSS is a baffling choice, really. Can we end double buffer V-Sync as well? Those 30fps boss fights would probably be in the 40 to 50 fps range if it wasn't for the double buffer clamping it down to 30.

I think this is a fair decision. THPS soundtracks were responsible for introducing a lot of people to different music - makes sense to keep doing that and freshen things up with some of the songs from the original release.

Yeah I'm learning to just wait for the DX versions of this series.

Video games may or may not be art, but the audience does not treat them as such, even when they defend the medium as being an artform. No other medium has an audience that so slovenly demands remakes of their favourite "art".

@Lady_rosalina aespa is K-Pop though? They have some Hip-Hop, Rap and R&B influence but most of the discography is pop oriented, with an electronic leaning.

I know Steve wasn't exactly a beloved character but it's funny he was confused for a second Leon on the cover.

Generative AI is a very touchy subject, and it can often be misconstrued with other types of "AI". I've seen people get upset about things like procedural generation, photoshop tools, DLSS and other things that predate AI art by many years - it's not the same thing as AI art, but people jump to conclusions and I honestly can't fully blame them considering how much the tech is being abused by corps to avoid paying artists.

They must have removed them after the closed beta test on PS5 then because the items there were Mario Kart Wii level.

This is a problem with any console where the hardware can be banned from online. So basically everything released since the Xbox 360. This also means certain corners will latch onto this universal issue as a Switch 2 specific problem by the oh so anti-consumer Nintendo (Like the EULA kerfuffle).

@RainbowGazelle they are doing that again.

My best guess is somebody - somehow - mixed up the Day/Month/Year date format for the UK with the US one where month goes first.

6th November release date?

Very tight race between those two Zelda ports there... ToTK winning overall however.

Fair enough that the guys who worked on the original wanted to update their original vision, WotL was done by a different team.

This comment section is already going swimmingly I see...

Great news, I'll consider it for Switch again now.

No European voiceover makes it a hard no on console. Perhaps it'll be modded in for PC.

#NotMyGex !!!

@KayFiOS They wouldn't need 6 more weeks, two years out from the release date to cast a new actress. They won't be filming until 2026.

The real reason for the delay was Godzilla x Kong opening on the same day, followed by Sonic 4 a few days later. A very busy week for 3 films with huge audience overlap - two is company, three is a crowd.

Movies aren't video games, you don't delay them 6 weeks for a bit of polish and bugfixing. That's very little time to make a film "as good as it can be".

Shouldn't this be top down?

@solarwolf07 Miku is a free update.

@Bass_X0 Skyfall suggests otherwise.

@Smithicus Silent Hill 2 has a year of PS5 timed exclusivity, so that would've been a no for launch.

@HHappyGoose88 "HH" "88"
I know what you are.

This is definitely gonna be one of the first games I buy for Switch 2. I missed the original release last year (one of many apparently) so the timing works for me now.

@Dev-N YouTube is currently on the list with startup issues.

@johnedwin bear this line of text from Nintendo's page in mind: "Updated May 27, based on testing data from April 24, 2025."

The data is from a month ago, so not a week before launch. They've just published it now. More work will have obviously been done in the following weeks.

Will 3 get a Switch 2 update?

Were people expecting anything other than ScaVi running at a higher resolution and framerate? You wanted a free remaster or something?

Odd that NSMBU is just a resolution update. Game Share makes sense for it.
@N00BiSH They don't need them. They already target 60FPS, just not often reaching it. Improved hardware will improve it automatically.

Seems a little bit pointless given how the UI is not particularly designed for mouse use (talking mainly about the huge game icons). But cool, I guess. Maybe if they update the home screen (lmao).

Real Yakuza use a gamepad... and JP voices.

Those photos make me miss the PS Vita

@astros75 IGN owns Hookshot media, so kind of.

Compare the number of MTX in EA games to Nintendo ones. They can wait slightly longer (it'll go up when PS6 launches, if not earlier).

@axelhander Well it does keep happening, including a week ago - it's a sin of the now. The moral high ground argument is a little silly anyway, they'll price up their games within a year or two.

This was already hinted at in the direct, when he mentioned to stay tuned for more news about the Remake Project on Switch 2 (slightly less direct way of talking about the whole trilogy, which is known as the Remake Project).
