@jfp I mean that it's literally the same design and UI (health/power bar, map, screen when acquiring a new power, back- and foreground blur, travelling down a well).
Another Hollow Knight clone... seems like metroidvania's nowadays don't even try to hide ripping off HK anymore. Well, let's just hope it's a decent game
Why did they go to great lengths to keep this a secret? Feels unnecessary...
"Surprise! Donkey Kong was just a placeholder, this is actually the new Mario game!"
@PinballBuzzbro Wow thanks man, that means a lot to me! You really made my day! @h3s Thanks! Hope it still works on the current models, it's been a while since the last update
Excuse me? I worked on my game (Juiced!) as a solo dev for seven years and poured my heart into it and you're tagging it as "shovelware"? That feels really random and breaks my heart.
We're playing split screen and sadly there are many new bugs in this new release (and our pets are hatless). Frequent lag, enemies freezing in the mines and the cherry bomb critical error. Hopefully these get fixed as well.
@N64-ROX I played BT first and after that BK always felt like a cheap version of BT. I could also never get used to the colour scheme in BK, they really improved that part in BT. However, the final boss battle is so much better in BK.
I'd recommend to give JUICED! a try. Apart from being a challenging and fun platformer it also features a local co-op mode. Great to play with the friend/wife/kid.
@russell-marlow check the steam page for more info. They changed the EGS version, it's now the same as the other console and pc versions. It was probably some beta build they accidentally uploaded. Some of the changes that were in the EGS version are in this patch (more poses in photo mode, open ceiling in Palace Midas), but not all
For everyone who's looking for inventory shortcuts: hold minus key and press R to equip or throw a flare. Same for guns: hold minus + B / A / Y / X / L / ZL / ZR
Easter egg: hold R + L during loading screen to have Lara wear her sunglasses

Wow, those hair physics look good on PS5
Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Latest Trailer Teases Bustling City Environment
Why would anyone want more than 120fps???
Re: Opinion: Silksong Might Just Be The Funniest Game Of The Year
Too soon man...too soon...
after 100 tries I finally beat the Last Judge only to be killed in its explosion...it still hurts
Re: First Impressions: Same But Different? - Our Initial Hours With Hollow Knight: Silksong
It's more Hollow Knight, that's all I need
Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In September 2025
Silksong and a lot of rage quits
Re: Video: We've Played Cronos: The New Dawn On Switch 2
Strong Deadspace vibes
Re: Team Cherry's Already Got "Ambitious" Plans For Hollow Knight: Silksong Additional Content
Ah great, I was afraid I had to throw away the clown costume
Re: Video: Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Full Gameplay Demo
Those cutscenes are so dull, half of the interactions happen off screen and people just teleport everywhere. This bothered me a lot in Arceus.

@jfp I mean that it's literally the same design and UI (health/power bar, map, screen when acquiring a new power, back- and foreground blur, travelling down a well).
Re: Little Kitty, Big City Will Soon Let You Customise Your Cat And Snap Adorable Pictures Of Them
They couldn't record any parts with decent fps for this trailer? That's not very promising for its performance on Switch
Re: Crypt Custodian & Islets Dev Is Bringing Another Gorgeous Metroidvania To Switch Next Year
Another Hollow Knight clone... seems like metroidvania's nowadays don't even try to hide ripping off HK anymore. Well, let's just hope it's a decent game
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Rating Spotted, Fuelling Nintendo Direct Hopes Again
Please give us 2 & 3 remaster first
Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Drag x Drive' Won't Include Local Multiplayer Support
"...local multiplayer will apparently be restricted to just one player."
Interesting way of saying there's no local multiplayer
Re: System Shock 2 Suffers Unexpected Delay On Switch
Played the original, this game is amazing
Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Updated Donkey Kong Bananza's Switch 2 File Size
I guess Pauline takes up less space than Oddrock
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Switch 2 Demo Spotted In The Wild
Is this the fake demo where we get the rock instead of Pauline?
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
This direct really sparked my interest! But that fur...it looks horrible up close, like poor graphics feathers...
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Switch 2 Box Art Shows Pauline In All Her Glory
Why did they go to great lengths to keep this a secret? Feels unnecessary...

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Final Tech Specs Have Been Confirmed
So the cpu clock speed is faster in handheld than docked? Please explain
Re: Feature: 7 Switch Games We Played At PAX East 2025 - Here's What We Thought
Constance looks perfect to scratch that Silksong itch
Re: 'Switch 2 Editions' Are Supposedly A Switch Game Card And Download Code For The Upgrade Pack
I have a feeling many people on the NSO expansion pack are not going to know they can just buy the Switch 1 version instead of this one.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Cross-Progression Confirmed, Performance & Resolution Detailed
So that's comparable to ps4 pro performance? Not bad
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Two More Titles
Donkey Kong '94 is one of the best platformers ever made
Re: Poll: 10 Years On, Which Version Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Best?
Never played the 3ds version but the n64 version was my best zelda experience ever, the game was perfect.
Re: The Switch eShop Is A Nightmare, So We've Made Our Own "Better eShop"
@PinballBuzzbro Wow thanks man, that means a lot to me! You really made my day!
@h3s Thanks! Hope it still works on the current models, it's been a while since the last update
Re: New Mario Kart 9 Teased For Switch 2
Why that sideways tilt of the right joycon in the final shot? Is it hinting at a new functionality?
Re: The Switch eShop Is A Nightmare, So We've Made Our Own "Better eShop"
@JJtheTexan @Ironcore @Waluigilicious @Impossibilium @SilentBluntman @xmkbest
Thanks for your support!
@antdickens Thanks for listening to our feedback!
Re: The Switch eShop Is A Nightmare, So We've Made Our Own "Better eShop"

Re: We Take Our Hats Off To This Temporary Stardew Valley Performance Fix
We're playing split screen and sadly there are many new bugs in this new release (and our pets are hatless). Frequent lag, enemies freezing in the mines and the cherry bomb critical error. Hopefully these get fixed as well.
Re: Random: Skull Kid "Clocks In" To Super Smash Bros. In This Awesome Fan-Made Trailer
Seeing Clock Town at the night of the final day brings back the feels... Majora's Mask was such a tragic game but sooooo good.
Re: Video: Yooka-Replaylee Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Original & Remaster)
Well it sure looks...different. Not sure if that's better.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Banjo-Tooie
@N64-ROX I played BT first and after that BK always felt like a cheap version of BT. I could also never get used to the colour scheme in BK, they really improved that part in BT. However, the final boss battle is so much better in BK.
Re: Rumour: A Rayman Remake May Be On The Cards At Ubisoft
Does it need a remake though? That game is perfect as it is. Of course it would be nice to have the original game on Switch.
Re: It Takes Two Dev Teases New Co-Op Game Based On A Fresh IP
Super whoopin' definitely
Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Overview Trailer Showcases A Stunning Evolution
I fail to see the "sublime visuals". The graphics look like a glorified 3ds game and I just can't get used to those washed out colours.
Re: Poll: With 'Switch 2' Rumours Swirling, Will There Be A September Direct This Year?
Just give me Silksong already
Re: 34 Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's 'Mega Multiplayer' Switch eShop Sale (Europe)
I'd recommend to give JUICED! a try. Apart from being a challenging and fun platformer it also features a local co-op mode. Great to play with the friend/wife/kid.
Re: Video: Donkey Kong '94 - The 101-Level Sequel To Arcade DK
So much creativity in this game, one of the best platform games ever made, together with Sonic 3 & Knuckles and both came out in '94!
Re: Video: Can We Find An eShop Gem By Playing Random Games? Alex Investigates
I keep saying this but Juiced! is such an underrated gem. It's a super wacky 2d retro platformer that even has co-op.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door For Switch?
Seen there's no extra content and I played it on Dolphin in HD a couple of years ago...no
Re: QubicGames' Switch eShop Sale Takes Over 100 Games Down To Just $0.20 Each
Quite sure the eshop normally doesn't allow discounts below $1
Re: Soapbox: The Games Industry Needs To Give Up On Exclamation Marks!
JUICED! , but that's actually a fun game
Re: New Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Update Finally Makes Keys Easier To Spot
@russell-marlow check the steam page for more info. They changed the EGS version, it's now the same as the other console and pc versions. It was probably some beta build they accidentally uploaded. Some of the changes that were in the EGS version are in this patch (more poses in photo mode, open ceiling in Palace Midas), but not all
Re: Nintendo Reveals Box Art And New Screens For Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door On Switch
Looks like they also improved the lighting and added god rays
Re: Poll: So, Have You Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus Yet?
Tried to play it but I found it very dull with mediocre graphics and very simplistic character animations
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Games Would You Like To See Come To Switch?
Anyone? Conker Live & Reloaded of course!!
Re: Review: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Switch) - The Best Way To Rediscover A Gaming Idol
For everyone who's looking for inventory shortcuts: hold minus key and press R to equip or throw a flare. Same for guns: hold minus + B / A / Y / X / L / ZL / ZR
Easter egg: hold R + L during loading screen to have Lara wear her sunglasses
Re: Best Donkey Kong Games Of All Time
Top 3 is spot on, couldn't agree more
Re: Review: Inkulinati (Switch) - Inky & Entertaining Turn-Based Battles, With Butt Trumpets
This must surely be inspired by the Monty Python and the holy grail animation sequences
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Couch Co-op Games
Juiced! co-op is also a fun platformer to play together
