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).

@Vyacheslav333 I don't think it's required to buy the Japanese eShop version at all. The listing includes Japanese on the list of supported languages, should just run the game with Japanese text and voices if the console is set to Japanese. That's usually how those work. Unless you want to use the currency exchange to get a little discount on the price via the JP eShop then of course go that way.

@KoopaTheGamer Yeah for sure. Why on earth would you slip in your own comments while translating for somebody?

Used to be really into Giant Bomb in the early days. Haven't been around it much since 2015, seems like every original member has long gone, so it's not the site I was a fan of, but still unfortunate news to hear.

With the apparent lack of upgrade paths I'm kind of glad I missed the original release for this one and stuck with PPT1.

It'll likely be a free upgrade for current owners considering how recent it's original release was. Just looking at the PS5 and Series X, most 3rd parties went the free upgrade route, unless it was something where there was brand new content which isn't the case here. Shadow Generations looks to be a simple resolution and framerate boost, and even Nintendo are making most of their own offerings of that kind for free. Also worth noting that Sonic Frontiers would let you download both a PS4 and PS5 version when you bought that game, they didn't have a paid upgrade there.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S I don't know about what they might be adding to that version so could be a paid upgrade maybe?

So that was another load of nothing in the end.

@OorWullie @LastFootnote It's not like the average PS5/Series X game is running at native 2160p either. It's all about upscaling now, and Switch 2 honestly has an advantage there. DLSS being more proficient than FSR1-to-3 (4 is pretty much equal but not on consoles) or PSSR. The quality of the image is almost a separate thing from the pixel count now, depending on the upscale.

@ElkinFencer10 This isn't any less taxing than a new game. The visuals were entirely built from scratch in Unreal Engine 5.

@montrayjak 1440p/120fps is confirmed
"Supports 120 fps when 1920x1080/2560x1440 resolutions are selected"

@Grumblevolcano Add to that that this will be a shadow drop announcement it would be best to wait until later if a Switch 2 version is planned, because it obviously can't be released tomorrow.
