@FrenchVaniIIuxe I don't know why you are so keen to push some weird false narrative around its sales. Ubisoft literally stated the series, Shadows included, had a "strong performance".
@breach187 They are denouncing a company training AI on their past work, which is exactly what generative AI does... and something Square are openly pursuing.
Will wait for a sale due to so many platformers out at the moment, but great this has picked up strong reviews. The original was super underwhelming but Impossible Layer was excellent, glad this lives up to its quality.
I don't suppose Nintendo Life have the split of EA Sports FC on Switch vs. Switch 2? Given it's a Day 1 third party release, I'm curious to see the split. It just seems to be a combined figure above.
I’m getting quite nervous about Octopath. It’s like they took its name only and disregarded the things people liked about it, such as the individual character stories and 4-party battles.
The crazy thing about Forgotten Land getting a patch is that it's one of the few, if not the only, notable game releases in recent years to never have received a patch. Nintendo really playtest the hell out of their titles!
@Pillowpants Ya I think it's just a matter of pressing a button in each battle! it's a while since I plated but you should see it on the lower left corner of the screen. It can be switched on and off at any time.
It was a bit of a faff to change my HDMI cable so I just left my original Switch 1 cable in place and used it on my Switch 2. Have just been reading up on it after this article so I'll definitely look to change it now as apparently it can make quite a difference. Whoops!
It's a solid launch line-up overall but for me it's missing a great single player exclusive. Donkey Kong will thankfully rectify that next month but it's meant I haven't spent as much time on my Switch 2 as I expected.
@Yalloo They fully rebooted development on it due to the poor reaction to this trailer. I'd expect it to look far better whenever Ubisoft next show it.
I will be using it 0% of the time. Nintendo have spent a silly amount of time showing off this "feature" which shows your friends games running like a slideshow. They clearly felt they needed a gimmick this gen but it's totally unnecessary.
@Pillowpants It might be graphically pared back but I'd be shocked if we don't see a version of Monster Hunter Wilds on Switch 2. There's no way Capcom would ignore that much of an opportunity.
I can’t say I’ve ever found the charge times particularly bad. The charge lasts so long it’s such a rare occurrence. My PS5 controller on the other hand needs charging every other day.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC Is Introducing A New Type Of Mega Evolution
Very cool though I do wish it was given a different typing than its standard mega.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Port Technical Rundown Detailed By Ubisoft
@FrenchVaniIIuxe Huh? Ubisoft literally just announced Shadows exceeded sales expectations.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 Job Listing Shows There's Signs Of Life In The Old Hog Yet
Just scrap the whole thing and start again at this stage. Whatever Ubisoft are trying to do here is nothing that people liked about the original game.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Reveals "Peculiar" New Forms In Extended 10-Minute Trailer

Re: Bandai Namco, Square Enix And Other Japanese Publishers Aren't Happy About OpenAI's Sora 2 Generative AI Tool
Didn't Square announce last year that they were being "aggressive" when it comes to using AI? The irony.
Re: Surprise! Pikmin 4 Is Getting A Free Content Update On Switch Next Month
As soon as I saw those pointless costume Pikmin I knew Niantic had to be involved somehow.
The update looks cute and is a nice little freebie.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's First DLC In-Game Event Kicks Off Next Week
Probably my game of the year but I have absolutely zero desire to get this underwhelming DLC with its even more underwhelming FOMO events.

I never played the original and really loved this game. Hopefully the port works out well.

Re: Here's What Donkey Kong Bananza Looked Like On Switch 1
I'm really excited to see what Nintendo can do with the Switch 2 hardware if both Mario Kart and DK started life as Switch 1 titles.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Pulled Amazon US' Switch 2 Sales After Beef Over "Unauthorised" Sellers
God forbid anyone dares sell a Nintendo title for a few bucks below the RRP.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Developer Has Been Revealed
The only surprising thing is how weird Nintendo were about not announcing the developer when the game was revealed.

Re: Retailer Smyths Is Holding A Switch 2 Midnight Launch Across All UK Stores
@ZAHMED Nope, it probably won’t update and charge you until early next week.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Gets Ready To Race With A New Rating Down Under
Hopefully SEGA learned from Mario Wonder releasing the same week as the last 2D Sonic and don’t drop this at the same time as Mario Kart World.
