Anything with different colour Joy-Cons would be fine by me. I'm really not a fan of the Blue & Orangey-Red-Salmon ones that currently come with the machine.

If the rest of the game looks this good then I'll be massively impressed. I think the new version looks stunning!

Please don't be on a Game Key Card. 🤞

I'm still waiting for a revamped model before I get a Switch 2.

Day one purchase for me.

I really like the look of this. It reminds me of a game I had on my N64 called Lylat Wars which was the sequel to StarWing on the SNES.

@idkmyname How are the Game Key cards worse??? You can resell those.

@Dreamcaster-X Xbox makes a lot of money from selling their games on their own platforms.

@Tempestryke You aren't fun to spend time with are you?

@Tempestryke No. But it's more fair to judge a compilation based on the effort and work that's gone into it than its component parts.

@-wc- Exactly. How would the original Sega Saturn version of Tomb Raider review today? Quite poorly, I'm sure.

I'd still like to see Splatoon 1 remade for Switch 2.

Absolutely amazing game. I played it on Xbox but would happily buy it again. As long as it's not a Game Key Card.

In my humble opinion, they should have ditched the "Mario Kart" brand entirely for Switch 2 and gone with "Nintendo Kart". Then they could have used all the franchises they own and built them into one giant celebration of kart racing.

Start with RE1 and play them through in release order.

It's a nice, clean and uncluttered box art - which is quite rare for Switch 2.

I have a black and blue 2DS and a metallic blue New 3DS XL. Wonderful machines.

The Atari Jaguar version of this game was absolutely wonderful.

I'll get this on Switch the same way as Dragon Quest 1&2.

@Erigen Modern Atari are actually doing really well for themselves financially. They've made some very shrewd investments in Nightdive and Digital Eclipse, their retro mini consoles have sold really well and their recent remakes have been very well received.

It seems like you have an issue where there isn't one.

This hopefully won't affect me massively. I tend to buy multiplatform games for my Xbox and PS exclusives for my PS5.

If however, there are Switch 2 exclusives (first or third party) releasing on Game Key Cards, then I'll skip the game entirely.

The controls, art design and gameplay look awful in my opinion.

The fact that a game being released this close to the launch of the Switch 2 is suffering with performance issues is kind of worrying. It doesn't bode well for its ability to keep up over the next few years.

And performance can have a massive impact on playability and fun.

I still won't be going anywhere near this game.

It's available to pre-order now on Amazon.

As a download code in a box. 🤬

I'm glad they're the same size as Switch 1 boxes. I may buy a load in bulk and put all my Switch games in the red cases.

@Elthesensai You can resell the game key cards.

@N00BiSH I used them all the time on my PS4 for any game that uses the thumb stick click buttons. I hate those buttons and really don't understand why it's never become a standard feature on all controllers since then.

They're also great for FPS games so that you don't need to take your thumb away from the right stick to use the face buttons.

A Viewtiful Joe 1+2 collection would be incredible. Please!

Nintendo always seem to find a way to make things unnecessarily complicated, awkward and frustrating for their fans. ☹️

@FourBs Game station was an incredible shop. They used to be my direct competition on the high street but I loved buying games there. They actually took care of the games they were selling so you'd get an old game in an immaculate condition (compared to something like CEX today).

I had a great relationship with the Gamestation store manager and we'd share discounts.

I vividly remember buying a pristine copy of Project Zero on Xbox and he gave his discount.

Good times.

I used to be a Game store manager from the GameCube/Xbox/PS2 days right through to the Wii launch. It was a great company to work for back then. They genuinely cared about their staff and management teams. There were great sales incentives and fantastic staff discount. 30% off new games and 40% off pre-owned.

I even got to see Sean Lock and Bill Bailey do an hour of stand up at one of our annual conferences.

Good times.

This is really poor from Nintendo. Not a good look at all.

Can someone PLEASE tell me if the game cases are the same size or not???

The Wii U is already regarded as one of the most underrated consoles in history. As much as I'd love to see WW and TP HD released on Switch 2, it's nice to have something just for that system.

Are the game cases the same size as Switch???

@Anti-Matter I've reboxed all of my PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games into PS5 style cases and created my own box art. I've also done the same for all of my Xbox games to match the current Series X layout.

For me, Nintendo will always be associated with red and having that on my shelves will look nicer in my opinion.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy Thanks for letting us know! 😂

@Anti-Matter I prefer the red boxes but I really want to know the box sizes too. I would love to be able to swap all my original Switch games into shiny red cases.

@carlos82 @Optimus TrumpBox? DonBox? TrumpStation? Dontendo BS?

Yes. There's no other possible correct answer.

@jwfurness Fast Racing Neo had a physical release on Wii U. At least in Europe.

@Jacket_p I bought Starwing on SNES for £70 and I remember a friend of mine paying £90 for Virtua Racing on Mega Drive.

Those were crazy times.

I saw an old Toys R Is advert on Twitter the other day and it showed SNES games priced at $80 - $90.

I'm not saying we should be pleased about Switch 2 game prices, but maybe we've been spoilt since the mid 90s.

Does anyone know if the game cases are the same size as the Switch?

This looks absolutely awful. It has no personality, no visual flair and the control scheme looks like it would wear thin after 5 minutes. What on earth were they thinking?

When I said I thought digital games should be cheaper, I didn't mean for you to do it by making physical games more expensive.
