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.

@WiltonRoots

It is good to see.

Look I love Nintendo and want them to be successful but when I see questionable actions such as charging full price for this remake I will criticise it.

Yes some discounts are possible with the physical copies but it is still full price digitally which will eventually affect the price of the pyhsical copies and frankly it is a pisstake as it is a barebones remaster.

@Arkay

As will I be, just wish Nintendo weren't charging more for it than the 3DS original.

@Gaymer90

I'm obviously being facetious but rather be that than celebrating being price gouged.

@OldGamer999

That 1.8 million is only pyhsical too, so probably another million+ digital in Japan. Aye 13+ million in basically 6 months is insane but that's Mario!

I love 2D and 3D Mario alike which is probably why 3D World is my favourite as it felt like a perfect combination of the two. Plus that glorious jazz infused soundtrack!

@OldGamer999

SMW has sold over 13 million as of March 24 so I think they would be happy.

@Dang_69

Basically it is a case by case basis.

But it seems the latest batch from Nintendo have the least effort put in and it is especially egregious when it is a 3DS game that would have been released with a RRP of 40 quid at launch.

@Dang_69

MK8 Deluxe I was fine with as you got all the DLC, same with Mario 3D World with Bowser's Fury and Skyward Sword HD because it had a myriad of improvements over the original.

But these low effort HD remasters at full price?

Nah.

Nintendo not going the extra mile anymore so won't be getting my money as a result. Not at full price anyway.

@Cyrax77

I'm an adult with a job as well. Doesn't mean I'm willing to be stiffed over the price.

@WiltonRoots

I'm happy the game is on Switch just not at the same price as a built from the ground up first party Switch title. Same goes for DKC Returns and the like.

And if all Switch successors are backwards compatible so there is no need for this in future then all the better.

@WiltonRoots

The game not selling was never going to be an issue.

People celebrating a barebones HD remaster that costs more than the original ever did selling well however is frankly odd.

Games must really struggle to sell on Xbox if they can't get a port of this.

@Qwiff

Ah I see. Hopefully the issue can be resolved through backwards compatability on Switch 2. Would love another run through of Link's Awakening but won't bother with this game if it is still an issue.

@Qwiff

Apart from the constant judder that hopefully this game fixes.

This is truly showing the benefit of Nintendo merging their handheld and home console businesses together.

Switch has a better end of year line up than Playstation and Xbox and it is in its twilight year.

Near brings a tear to the eye after remembering the Wii U days.

@SwitchVogel

Not doubting the artstyle just whether it is a technical marvel. I think the Switch is capable of more.

"SMT V: V is still a visual miracle"

Is it though?

It still should not be full price or should have been a double pack with the first game to make it feel like it is worth full price.

I still need to play through LM3 which I bought years ago but I think the gameplay loop just isn't for me.

@TenEighty

Doesn't look like a review is required at this stage.
