Sounds like some good updates. I'm loving the game!

Look, come on, "unlocks" is a verb. The noun is "unlockable".

Funny you should post this article. I actually just started playing it again daily around 2 weeks ago. I've cleaned up the town and am trying to finish the various museum collections!

I'm sorry, but most Switch 2 games are just far too expensive. I'm not paying over £60 for a cutesy racing game.

Nintendo and terrible hardware quality have gone hand in hand since the beginning of the Switch generation.

I'm not necessarily against buying a game digitally, but Nintendo doesn't have proper refund policies, and this is £58.99!! Not a chance! Pokemon games never go on sale and there's no physical release, so I won't be buying this (and there goes any reason for me to buy a Switch 2). The Steam Machine is looking awfully tempting.

And that's the one game shown so far that I might have bought a Switch 2 for. Not now.

Hopefully much cheaper than the Deku Tree.

EA clearly didn't bother to test this at all. I'll stick to the original PC version and DS version.

So it's not a community list? It's just a list by writers from Nintendo Life and IGN?

It already plays fine on Switch, but hopefully this'll help people who are allergic to 30 FPS to stop moaning.

@TrueBlueYoshi It's already cross-platform on Switch. So it's bizarre to see Nlife point it out as if it's a Switch 2 exclusive feature.

£25 for this so soon after launch is just ridiculous. Absolute money grabbing from the Pokemon Company and Nintendo here.

The finale level to Rhythm Paradise on the Wii springs to mind.

The best Animal Crossing soundtrack for the best game in the series.

Just like everything else from Nintendo this generation; ridiculously overpriced.

@Ploppy Like shake the whole console? No, I don't think it does.

I'll stick with the original PC version and DS version. This is unfortunately a terribly lazy, untested, buggy port.

Quite pricey.

Disgusting from Nintendo, really. Locking ingame evolution items behind their Switch Online paywall.

Yes, that's great! Crossworlds did a good job of bringing many characters back with personality, as did Shadow Generations and Frontiers. I'm hoping it continues!

So virtually identical, but Nintendo are charging extra for the S2 version. Should have been a free upgrade.

Not at that price, no. I wouldn't even consider a purchase unless it was £300 or less.

It's a shame then, that it's ended up being as poor as it looked in the trailers. And they've got the gall to announce DLC before it's even released, when the base game isn't very good.

Does the Switch 1 version have local play then?

@Switching I hope this is sarcasm.

Ooh that's a brave opinion to hold around here. Nintendo fans don't take too kindly to you if don't call the latest Mario the bestest, most amazing game in the whole world ever.

I'll be buying it on PS4, physically from Japan.

I'm having a blast in the Hatsune Miku event in Sonic Racing Crossworlds this weekend!

@USWITCH64 It speeds up a lot when you unlock faster grand prix speeds.

Literally no idea what you're on about with the framerate. I've played it singleplayer and multiplayer with splitscreen, and it runs perfectly fine. Maybe I'm blind?

When did we start calling game updates "drops"?

Nintendo are, unfortunately, just another scumbag company these days. They're no different anymore.

Another great Sonic game! The racers especially have always been good.

@LikelySatan They do. I think the Minecraft and Pac-Man tracks look quite cool. Not really bothered about the Nickelodeon bunch though.

I haven't felt like it's been any more difficult than the first game so far. Although I've still got a while to go, so it might ramp up.

I know I'll get comments about my opinion, I know I will.

But it was absolutely terrible.

Ports, overpriced DLC, paid upgrades, ports, remakes, ports, overpriced plastic accessories, ports...

This was a pathetic, self-indulgent, greedy showing from Nintendo.

I'm really looking forward to this! I loved the 3DS one. It's a shame their marketing of it so far isn't as zany as the 3DS one, but I bet it'll still be great.

So it'll be completely useless when Switch Online goes down? You NEED the accessory AND have to pay a yearly subscription just to use it?

But not on the 3DS, which had 3D built in...

A bit daft seeing as there was already a Wii Remake.

Just Nintendo being greedy as usual. Why is anyone surprised? My first thought during the Direct was, "How much are they gonna overcharge for these?".

Literally the only decent Switch 2 reveal of the Direct.

I don't know what demo everyone else was playing, I thought it looked and ran great on Switch 1! For such comparatively weak hardware compared to the other consoles it's releasing on, Sega seemed to have done a good job. Such chaotic fun, and the gear customisation adds a lot to the game. Much more variety in how you approach a race than Mario Kart.

DLC on top of a £50 remake is really poor.

@bobby_steurer Agreed. I won't support a dev making dehumanising comments about their own potential customers.

This shows what you can achieve when a game is a passion project, and not a cynical business product. It shows we don't need millions of dollars and thousands of devs to make a great game. Team Cherry are offering amazing value again, and generating a load of goodwill.

@trcsf Thanks, good to know! I'll be visiting Japan in November, so I'll probably buy a copy then.

One of the best games and soundtracks to ever grace a Nintendo console. Terrific!

Sounds great, and I would have bought it if Sega have given it a physical release. But alas, I'll only consider it on a deep, deep discount, just like all digital-only games.

I must have played a different demo. I thought the game looked great and played fine on Switch 1. No problems whatsoever, I'll be grabbing it for the Switch.
