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.

They're gonna drop seven nuclear bombs on their house.

@Glasso This comparison feels very bad faith

DF seemed pretty confident in saying none of the games shown were using DLSS. Maybe the build in the Direct and public demos were before CDPR added DLSS? Or they were wrong. They're usually good, but not perfect and they've been in the habit of downplaying Switch 2's capabilities for a long time.

@ottoecamn The PM didn't speak out against the game specifically. He said if tourists decided to deface shrines they should be dealt with according to the law.

@Suketoudara This is basically mirroring how they marketed Switch 1 in it's early days. Sell the new system to the older crowd with disposable income while the previous generation is sold to kids, parents and budget minded people.

@PikminMarioKirby The translations on the article are accurate. The narrative about this game's controversy in Japan and it's government are exaggerated, in particular the matter of the prime minister being 'outraged' at the game. Most people there don't care and Shadows sold modestly well for a western title.

@brandonbwii No there's a 30fps mode too

@larryisaman 40fps performance mode was confirmed

@Justifier Would it matter when the text will be very different to the Japanese voices?

@DashKappei We aren't. The price increase is because of inflation and poor exchange rates. The US will get an increase of it's own later, which will be due to the tariffs.

It was blatantly obvious from the price. Breath of the Wild remains £60 for the base game, the Switch 2 Edition is £70, so £10 for the upgrade. The DLC is what, £20?

Dualsense Edge has switches on the back that let you make the triggers digital. Could have been done.

It'll probably just be the same thing that happens if you hold the capture button during a game that doesn't support it, a little pop up in the corner of the screen for 3 seconds.

@TechaNinja allegedly there are only 32/64GB cards. Likely due to Switch 2 cards using the same type of tech as Micro SD Express for the high speeds. You cannot get Express cards for that size because it's not practical, you wouldn't get any savings on the cost.

@Jireland92 For Bravely Default it isn't about compression and more that there isn't an option for a smaller card for it.

@Princess_Lilly I'm not talking about controllers. Stick replacements.

Switch Ridge Racer reminds me of an old Doctre81 video. I think it was in development by the same Bandai Namco studio that was originally making Prime 4.

@-wc- Not "insufficiently attached to the point of falling off", but there's been times in handheld mode where one will be slightly dislodged and I would need to reconnect it. Can be a serious issue for online play obviously since the action won't be paused for those 5 seconds.

@KoopaTheGamer It would be funny if everyone was raging about no hall effect sticks, only for them to be using superior TMR sticks.

@axelhander It must be that they've not used controllers with them before. Rear buttons are great.

@Princess_Lilly 3rd parties like Gullikit will be there with Hall Effect replacement sticks eventually anyway.

@datamonkey Not true, CD Projekt Red said they went for the highest capacity card for Cyberpunk, which is 64GB. If you mean SD cards, those are pricey. 256GB cards are £90 right now. I don't think many people want £150 games right now, so keeping the maximum size to 64 is appropriate.
