Completed this game on the PS4 many years ago, it’s great and I will be double dipping and buying it for the Switch 2. The reason being is because SquareEnix announced they are bringing the whole trilogy to Switch 2 and I’m so happy they are they will get my money.
I was expecting to seen a ton of Switch 2 game reveals at TGS 25 and it didn’t happen. I don’t understand Japanese publishers, they should be falling over themselves to bring their big games to the system as Nintendo completely dominates Japan. Yet it doesn’t seem to be happening, weird.
Mario Kart is a juggernaut of a series. The only game series comparable to it are Grand Theft Auto and the EA sports games. I just hope Nintendo add some DLC soon.
Let’s go! Imagine my surprise when I turned on my Switch 2 yesterday and seen the icon for Hades 2 on the Home Screen! Preloaded and ready to unlock next week.
£25 is an absolute bargain and it makes Nintendo with their £58.99 for both Mario Galaxies look so greedy. Nintendo c’mon, do your fans a solid, drop the Mario Galaxy price to £20 each and I’m all in.
A fair price is £40 for both games, £58.99 is not on. Being so expensive will only hurt sales, I refuse to pay that much money for such old games, no matter how great they are.
Things excellent news and I just pre ordered Final Fantasy 7 on Switch 2 even though I already have it on PS4. I want to support Square Enix for bringing the trilogy to Switch, thanks guys.
9/10 Hades 2 being released this month has me on a high, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 was great but the price of it has jaded me a little, Fire Emblem looked superb, Metroid release date finally let’s go, Mario Tennis 🎾 looked excellent, Persona 3 Demo was great news, I’m playing it now, Virtual Boy coming back is funny, Dragon Quest 7 is a day 1 as is Virtua Fighter 5, Resident Evil 9 was a nice surprise to.
This direct was superb, and the Mario film trailer looked great, well done Nintendo. But once again Microsoft were a no show, what’s up with that?
Thank you Dotemu and The Game Kitchen! I bought this game on Day 1. I’m a big Ninja Gaiden fan 🥷 and wanted to support your studios, even though I was a little disappointed that the game didn’t run at 60fps it did not deter me.
I chose not to play it but had faith that the talented devs would deliver a patch to Switch 2 owners to boast it to 60fps, a month later I’m glad to say that my faith in your teams has been proven to be correct 👍 Now I will cross my fingers and hope that tomorrow we will get a Ninja Gaiden 4 announcement 🤞
Any adult who owns a Switch 2 should buy this game, it’s an exceptional game. Night City is a dark and beautiful neon paradise. It’s the closest that Nintendo players will experience a GTA style mature story.
Congratulations to CD Projekt Red on not giving up and eventually finding success with this game. It took them many years but they managed to pull it off, now how about another expansion guys? 🤞
Well Nintendo can redeem themselves for that disappointing partners direct. Mario Kart World needs new content, that should now be a priority for Nintendo. Release date for Metroid, something for Mario’s anniversary.
Games I would like to see announced.
1. Doom The Dark Ages.
2. Ninja Gaiden 4
3. Sea of Thieves
4. Bayonetta 4
5. Stellar Blade
Silksong is the only interesting game releasing in September. Nintendo are frustrating me with Switch 2, if I didn’t have such a large game backlog form my Switch, I would be seriously disappointed with Switch 2’s game releases so far.
I would like a December release date but only if they release Metroid 2 & 3 in September as a shadow drop on the next direct. No shadow drop then release it in September 👍
Nintendo, can we get a road map for Mario Kart World please? And one simple game fix please, when playing the game split screen can it turn to full screen if only one person is left playing thanks?
@mercilessrobot So Nintendo should basically just churn out Mario, Zelda and Metroid games every year and not try to innovate because that’s what the people want right?
As soon as I finished watching the trailer I bought it. Thank you for updating a classic game ID, Quake 3 Arena next year please!
I.D Software please update Doom Eternal and Doom for Switch 2. I can wait for Doom The Dark Ages let you guys cook, but an upgrade pack for both games would be so appreciated, I will even pay to purchase the upgrade for both games to compensate you for your hardwork.
I really hope the people who work at Nintendo are listening to the feedback about that disappointing partners Direct and making sure that the next full Nintendo Direct is jam packed with big games and release dates.
Anyway Indie World, I’m a big fan of Devolver Digital and I hope that they have a strong presence on the show. Hades 2 release date & a Katana Zero DLC release date would be nice.
@Truegamer79 There is no demo for Ninja Gaiden but there is one for Shinobi 🥷 I know this because I have the demo and it’s cool 😎 Go to the Eshop and search the game name, click on the game and download demo should be underneath the pre order button. Enjoy 👍
I purchased the game to support the developer as I have highly anticipated this game since it was announced. I will not play the game until a patch is released unlocking 60fps for Switch 2 owners like myself.
I don’t mind waiting, I have a mountain of a backlog of games to get through so I’m good for the moment. I can give them a few months to release the patch 👍
Switch 2 is a great console, but it does not yet have the games to say it’s a must buy and to get Switch 1 owners to make the upgrade.
I’m playing my Switch 1 games way more on the console than Switch 2 games which is not a good sign. It’s starved of games at the moment and after that dismal direct yesterday, nothing looks to be changing this year.

Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch) - Still Out Of This World
Noooo! I will not pay £58 to play these games as badly as I want them. £40 and I’m all in, that’s my limit.

Re: Video: SEGA Shares "First Look" At Yakuza Kiwami 3's Combat Gameplay
ANAKI! Yakuza 3 is a solid Yakuza game I will definitely double dip and pick it up at some point.
The next one Yakuza 4 is a slog though, they definitely need to change the pacing on 4.
Re: Heretic + Hexen 'Update 1' Now Available For Switch

Puzzle Quest was due to be released today but as of me typing this message I still can’t purchase it? Maybe it’s been postponed?

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Demo Races Onto Switch Next Week

NIER AUTOMATA, DIABLO 2 & 3!!
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil Requiem Could Be Heading To The Switch 2
I’m actually quite happy to read its a different game as I was NOT impressed with the recent gameplay demo on PS5.
As another commenter said I would be happy to see a resident evil revelation style game.

If only Nintendo could pull their finger out and do the same for Mario Kart World.

Re: Borderlands 4 On Switch 2 Won't Support Split-Screen Couch Co-Op
So Switch players get less and the price of the game across the platforms remains the same? That’s isn’t right.

Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo For Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary
Nintendo, please do a roadmap for Mario Kart World. The game has so much potential, but we need more information about its future.
I would like to see Super Mario 40. Mario 35 was so much fun and I would like to see a remaster of Mario Galaxy 2.

Re: Mortal Kombat's Legacy Kollection Might Actually Get A Proper Physical Release On Switch 2
I just hope the digital edition is a lot cheaper because that price for the game is a brutality.
Way too expensive for a bunch of old games from the 90’s.
