Cheats were always there just not from that menu.

@johnedwin

Calm down.

@AmplifyMJ

I don't think he realises that "this very successful launch isn't quite as successful as the previous hugely successful Nintendo game launch" isn't the dig he thinks it is.

But considering the gibberish he was talking in the UK charts article I'm not surprised.

As always with stories like this my view is this:

Use emulators to get new games for free then you are a dirty scumbag thief.

Use emulators to play games you bought legitimately just in a better way for you then fine.

Use emulators to play clasics games not otherwise availabe on modern platforms then also fine.

@Dringo

Link's Awakening was also a highly desired remake sought after for years and Echos is a new title announced just a few months ago.

Also sales possibly affected by people not being happy with the framerate issues that plagued Link's Awakening so holding off on Echo's til Switch 2 arrives.

That's what I'm doing.

@johnedwin

Suggest you have another look at the chart and see the breakdown of sales and which company has the most first party titles in there.

I count 2 for Sony.

@Daniel36

With the broken framerate of that janky engine?

No ta.

@PepperMintRex

Don't see why not, stealth marketing.

Grezzo sort out the bloody framerate stuttering already aye?

@WiltonRoots

Which is a damn shame. Fantastic game deserving better.

@Vivianeat

Nah the Switch Up duo are trustworthy. They have no issue pointing out flaws even in promotional videos and one of their best features is they go back and review patched up games to see if there has been any significant improvement.

Easily the best Switch focused channel on Youtube for me.

Poor Astro Bot deserves much better.

Even factoring in digital sales, 12 thousand sales on a console with a 5 million user base is terrible.

I think that Post Up guy needs to get a life.

What a strange thing to get wound up about.

It has to be or I'm not going near it.

Not starting my digital library all over again. Not a chance.

Can't see it happening but be very happy to be proved wrong.

@Regulus6891

Millions of people.

Interesting strategy from Sony.

"Buy our console now or we up the price!"

@Ade117

That would be great.

Not by Aspyr though.

@Bolt_Strike

Not a chance.

@PikminMarioKirby

I just can't see them revealing the Switch successor before Christmas.

They did it with Switch because Wii U was already dead in the water but Switch will still have a good last push this Christmas.

I think Feb reveal, May release.

So that is 33 Series S a week then.

@AdolBannings-Laylee

Be pretty boring world if everyone liked all the same things.

@Arkay

It clearly doesn't need one.

Begs the question why it wasn't implemented at the start.

Surely they would have known people would want the option before release?

Alpha Anthology please.

Superior to the arcade versions on the 30th Anniversary Collection.

Seems bit harsh that.

I will probably pick it up just cause I love the look of SNK versions of the SF characters and I want them to release Capcom V SNK 2.

WB running another developer and game series into the ground.

@traceman

Not a chance.

@Olrun

Happy Days, cheers!

@anoyonmus

Cheers

@Olrun

This really needs to be a 60fps game so hoping you mean from 60 to 56!

@-wc-

Or Hollow Knight

I give it a year.

Those games were a massive part of my teenage years (and beyond).

RIP Brett and thanks for the memories.

Never once had an issue with my joy con controllers' battery running out. The battery would last all day and charge overnight.

But good for people with multiple pairs.

@DonierGunad

I loved my N64, Gamecube, Wii, 360, PS4 etc but yeah the SNES was something special.

Switch is probably my favourite of all though. And if Switch 2 is backwards compatible (it really REALLY needs to be) then by right it will be.

@rockodoodle

Yep, the Astro Bot games are like first party Nintendo titles on Playstation and there is no higher compliment for developer Team Asobi than that.

@Edu23XWiiU

I strongly suggest you play the PS5 pack in game if you haven't already. Might win you over.

@DonierGunad

Since Switch.

It alway gets outsold at the start by the Sony/Xbox versions but over the year sells very strongly on Switch (the PS5/4 and Switch versions usually sell about the same each week).

Bodes well for Switch 2 third party support.

@Edu23XWiiU

Nothing bland about it. The game that came packaged with PS5 is still the most next gen experience I have had across both PS5 and Xbox since they launched due to the dual sense implementation alone. And the game was just pure fun.

More of the same but as a full game means it will probably be my game of the year.

I own all the consoles so not interested in any console war nonsense just good games.

@Medic_alert

Astro Bot for PS5 looks like one of the best looking, fun games to come out this year (and many a year) so Sony may have finally caught on.

Can tell all the kids are off for summer.

Biggest surprise is MK1 selling best on Switch. Rubbish game, rubbish port.

No excuse and they fact people can't even refer to work they have done on their CVs is ridiculous.

@BTB20

To be fair I didn't.

MK9 has a hell of a lot to live up to.

MK8D is practically perfect in my view.

Good luck devs!

Going to be really disappointing if Nintendo do go back to LCD screen for the Switch 2 at launch. The OLED screen is a thing of beauty.

@DonierGunad

In the end it was worth it so I could keep my baddass character in the best wrestling game ever made!

Oh for a HD Remaster of that game...

@DonierGunad

And in the updated game there was no more blood effect.

Always annoyed me.

@RubyCarbuncle

I wouldn't have said anything but the very first comment was WiltonRoots seemingly having a dig that the game selling well somehow means it isn't an issue. I agree with WiltonRoots on a lot if stuff but not on being ripped off by Nintendo.

In a world were Metroid Prime Remastered exists at a reasonable price and with seemingly much more effort put into it then it makes LM2HD and DKCRHD, which have both been farmed out by Nintendo to third party devs, all the more brazen.

If you enjoyed the game happy days, but at least you also know it launching as a full price title is taking the mick.

We can all love Nintendo whilst still pointing out their flaws.
