Everything is getting an upgrade, except for Nintendo’s biggest recent release. I really don’t understand.
They could easily make Xenoblade Chronicles X a console seller.
AI in art is fine for sketches, anatomy references, and anything that helps the artist produce their own great work. But we really shouldn’t be replacing texture artists. The Tomb Raider remasters were also shameless.
@Athropos I don’t know. These games were always on platforms that couldn’t quite make them shine. Just leave everything like it is, with the resolution and performance it always deserved.
We don’t need more blades of grass while the Switch 2 turns into a furnace : )
Wow I’m glad X is getting a lot of traffic for this crucial information. Learning about their stolen photo is really worth supporting fascist’s companies for 👍
@GreenXIII That's what I thought when they didn't include Tomb Raider 4 in that first collection We just have to buy this one and the rest will follow.
Cel shaded environments like this look great, but they tend to be nightmares for performance. Ps5 still had issues with Sable, so it will be interesting to see how S2 handles this.
@RaTheGrey How about focusing your energy on the real injustice in the world? How does something like that bother you enough to dismiss an entire game over it?
Some people have a completely different relationship with their gender than you do. Nobody is forcing you to choose the character with the other bits than the ones you have. Nobody is even forcing you to understand them. Just let people enjoy being included and be confident about your own identity : )
The only way we’re going to survive as a species, is by working together and including everyone so they can thrive.
If Balatro didn’t get all those rave reviews, I would have quit the game after 15 minutes. So I kept thinking I just didn’t get it yet. But after 3 hours of disbelief, I just knew I’d never enjoy cards. It also has a tendency of ruining perfectly fine jrpg’s for me.
I hope everyone who does like them has fun with this though : )
How is it that some indie developers make games that look like AAA games and sell for indie prices, and some AAA developers make games that look like indie games and sell for AAA prices?
This game was fun, but the story and characters were the weakest part. So none of the fun is going to carry over but all of the plot holes, thin characters and clichés are?
One of the hardest choices yet. They’re both almost good. I ended up choosing NA because Japan lost a few more points on the messy logo and uneven composition.
I can’t imagine I’d ever want a bunch of choppy little frames in my screen. Seems like something they should have included only if they could pull it off.
I’m glad for everyone who’s happy, but I really don’t want Breath of the Wild to turn into another Final Fantasy 7 or Star Wars that keeps on spewing out sequels and spin-offs. We’ve spent plenty of time in this world.
@Vegeta937 Thank you so much, have been looking all over for this!
Why on earth would they do only that track though? Main battle themes just shouldn’t have vocals. It’s the reason I gave up last time so I’m not buying then
Can someone please confirm wether or not we can turn off the vocals in the soundtrack this time? Especially the battle theme. Not talking about the characters shouting but the horrible ‘rapper’
@wollywoo It’s going to be ‘live action’ like Avatar and The Lion King remake were ‘live action’. So it could still just be stylised animation with motion capture, which is always a bit uncanny valley to me.

Re: Tetris 99's New Maximus Cup Sees The Return Of Four Nintendo Themes
Are Switch 1 & 2 players competing against each other, I wonder?
Re: Chained Echoes 'Ashes Of Elrant' DLC Arrives On Switch In August
I hope this gets released physically as a complete edition.
Otherwise I’ll probably never buy the base game.
Re: Front Mission 3: Remake Appears To Replace 2D Art Assets With Generative AI
AI in art is fine for sketches, anatomy references, and anything that helps the artist produce their own great work.
But we really shouldn’t be replacing texture artists.
The Tomb Raider remasters were also shameless.
Re: A Nintendo Subsidiary Helped Out On The Development Of Death Stranding 2
I instantly recognised Luca Marinelli, the man I married in another timeline 💔
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Donkey Konga 2
Difficult choice since they’re all a bit lousy. EU is definitely the worst.
Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy Devs Supposedly Hint At Another Nintendo Release
I’m happy for anyone waiting for this.
But FF16 was just “follow the marker and keep pressing attack”.
15 was bad but at least there was a challenge.

Re: More Switch Titles Get Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility Fixes
I really don’t understand what’s keeping the Xenoblades so long
Re: Random: GameStop Tries To Make Light Of Switch 2 Staple Fiasco, But Lands In More Trouble
Wow I’m glad X is getting a lot of traffic for this crucial information. Learning about their stolen photo is really worth supporting fascist’s companies for 👍
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast)
Japan would be even better if the colours were more saturated. The colours are good but not representative of the game.
EU is painful to watch.
Re: Yacht Club's Zelda-Inspired Adventure 'Mina The Hollower' Lands Suitably Spooky PC Release Date
It’s also been confirmed for PS5 so I guess Switch will follow soon.
Re: Opinion: Nintendo New York's Switch 2 Launch Event Felt Like Coming Home
Those people look like the actual attractive hipsters from the ads. They DO exist!

Re: 12 Free Switch 2 Game Upgrades Are Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Why are they so quiet about the Xenoblades? Those would be my first choice for performance updates!
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Gets New Trailer Detailing Its Fast-Paced Combat
@XE77 Are you sure you watched the right video? How is there no charm in these?
Re: Video: "It's Actually...Really Good" - Our Hot 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Preview Take
People should boycot this completely. Are they insane?
Doesn't matter if it's 'cheap' - they're taking people for idiots.
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Gets New Trailer Detailing Its Fast-Paced Combat
This is my most anticipated game now.
Re: Video: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster Shows Off Switch 2 Mouse Minigames
@Kiz3000 Because they have a reputation of closing e-shops when people are still using those consoles on a massive scale.
Re: Video: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster Shows Off Switch 2 Mouse Minigames
I loved this game until it became repetitive in the second half.
So it will be interested to see if this remaster gives it some more variety.

What I really want to know is when we’ll finally be able to play 4-5-6
Re: Ys vs. Trails In The Sky Crossover Fighter Confirms Summer Release Window
Why did I think this was going to be 2d beat-em-up? This looks much more interesting.
Wish I was into Trails but I just can’t.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Looks Awesome In Nintendo's Latest Switch 2 Deep Dive
Guess they’re still not done milking this version of Hyrule.
Nobody releases two ‘age of’ games without making it a trilogy.
Re: Review: Into The Restless Ruins (Switch) - A Marvellous Meld Of Dungeons, Deckbuilding & Auto-Combat

Re: Nintendo Shares More Footage Of Zelda: Wind Waker On Switch 2
It's really beyond me why Nintendo doesn't just do a port of the WiiU version. Trying to milk this version before they release the updated one?
Re: Ecco The Dolphin Is Making A Comeback With Remasters & New Game
Can’t wait to die 1000 times and have no clue where to go in HD!
Re: Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Updated To Version 1.0.3, Here's What's Included
Seems like the perfect time to give these a go.
Re: Opinion: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Best Gameplay Feature Is Straight Out Of Mario's Playbook
How is it that some indie developers make games that look like AAA games and sell for indie prices, and some AAA developers make games that look like indie games and sell for AAA prices?
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?
I feel like Switch 2 is where Xenoblade will truly be able to shine.
Re: Split Fiction Movie Adaptation Reportedly Casts Sydney Sweeney
@dskatter I know it’s a joke, but calling a woman’s breasts her ‘qualifications’ is a 90’s joke, and it isn’t going to benefit you much in 2025 : )
Re: Split Fiction Movie Adaptation Reportedly Casts Sydney Sweeney
This game was fun, but the story and characters were the weakest part.
So none of the fun is going to carry over but all of the plot holes, thin characters and clichés are?
Re: Limited Run's Atlus Switch 2 Collector's Edition Is A 'Game-Key Card' Release
Good thing Nintendo has such a good track record for keeping these downloads available to us 👀
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
One of the hardest choices yet. They’re both almost good.
I ended up choosing NA because Japan lost a few more points on the messy logo and uneven composition.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Pikmin (GameCube)
I guess nostalgia is talking here. NA is pretty messy and the bottom left Pikmin couldn’t be placed any worse
Re: Switch 2 GameChat Choppy Frame Rate Explained By Nintendo
I can’t imagine I’d ever want a bunch of choppy little frames in my screen. Seems like something they should have included only if they could pull it off.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Nintendo Switch 2 Special
I love that DK is radically stepping away from the green/cerulean palette that was on almost every game cover for a while.
Re: Best Xenoblade Chronicles Games Of All Time
Yeah we need all of these at 60fps now.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed
This is absolute insanity. How rich do you have to be to spend even one cent on a user manual?
Re: Zelda: Breath Of the Wild And Tears Of The Kingdom Will Be Enhanced On Switch 2
I’m a bit worried that the Xenoblade series hasn’t been mentioned. Finally playing those games in 60fs would be a dream.
Re: Mario Kart World's Switch 2 Box Art Is Packed With Delightful Details
Yup, I was 100% wrong about this
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Confirmed For Nintendo Switch 2
I’m glad for everyone who’s happy, but I really don’t want Breath of the Wild to turn into another Final Fantasy 7 or Star Wars that keeps on spewing out sequels and spin-offs.
We’ve spent plenty of time in this world.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Tomodachi Life
All the characters are more balanced out in the Japanese version.
Maybe it’s because I don’t understand the words but the typography is much better as well
Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Will Reportedly Be Part Of A "Trilogy"
@GrailUK There’s most definitely going to be scene that involves Link destroying a bunch of pots. And something with chickens.
I just hope it’s going to feel like a real story and not just a succession of references and easter eggs, like Mario
Re: Switch 2 Pre-Orders Expected To Sell Out "Day One" Due To Limited Unit Allocation
Making sure you feel the pressure.
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch Direct Game In New Infographic
Probably just Dragon Quest, but maybe in a year.
Re: Legend Of Zelda Movie Release Date Revealed, Coming March 2027
@wollywoo It’s going to be ‘live action’ like Avatar and The Lion King remake were ‘live action’. So it could still just be stylised animation with motion capture, which is always a bit uncanny valley to me.
