Which fans are speculating? These things won't be linked at all...
Not only is it very unlikely you would even be using the Donkey Kong theme come December 15th. But why would the team designing what to display for each day of the month on a mobile app... have anything to do with the team working on Mario Kart World DLC?
Edit: It's not even just for December 15th... it's the 15th of every month of the year! How many times do we think he's going to get released?
This game is actually terrible in comparison to the infinitely better Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders. The lack of polish really shows. Critics are out of their goddamn minds...
I thought the Switch 2 edition might redeem it, but I've no idea why. New hardware isn't going to magically fix a game that just isn't well made in the first place.
Seems strange considering WWE 2K is 60fps. I guess 2K don't give their sports games the same oversight.
That being said, reflections were the one thing taken out of WWE, and with them being such an expected part of NBA. Maybe that was just what they chose to do. Sacrifice 60 for reflections...
Still, I expect (hope) later iterations will perform better once they have more experience with the hardware
I trust their design judgment. I used to remap the Super Metroid controls, but after trying the default layout they set, it actually felt better. It made running, jumping, and shooting much easier. Since then, I've stuck with the default for that game. And for every game since.
Glad IGN amended their article. I sent them an email to fact check after they said no customisation was available at all...
I'm not sure how big of a deal it is but the switch 2 community creations are slowly filling up. Think we are on about 10+ pages currently.
I was kind of surprised this image uploader thing was allowed anywhere. Surely the only images people actually upload are copyright infringement.
But I reckon it could just be because they don't have storage servers for Nintendo yet. Perhaps they want to see how well it sells. Because apparently NBA has an image uploader on Nintendo.
Maybe there are security concerns with these image files.
@PikminMarioKirby haha, right? This should have been a two in one review of both games with one author... though it does show how subjective these reviews actually are
Viewtiful Joe, Super Smash Bros Melee and Star Fox Adventures are my top picks, because they're all on the edge about whether they would actually get on the service any time soon.
Viewtiful Joe because... Capcom
Super Smash Bros Melee because Super Smash Bros 64 never made it
And Star Fox Adventures because Donkey Kong 64 hasn't made it
Edit: I'd also love Kirby Air Ride but Air Riders might be a remake?
The frequent calls to “drop the price” were actually a representation of the minority. This suggests that we can expect incredibly significant numbers if such a spamming campaign was only from a small group.
Well, hopefully I can still use my remaining voucher for Metroid Prime 4 and then "upgrade" it to the switch 2 version? If one even exists... maybe it is literally just going to be a backwards compatible switch game.
Super Mario Maker 2 is one of the very few Nintendo developed games that doesn't appear in the banner behind the "You can play Nintendo Switch games on Nintendo Switch 2" text on the Switch 2 website.
Someone grabbed the image which showed them all and it was missing.
So I'm pretty convinced it means we're getting a new Mario Maker either shortly after or at launch
Definitely for more dynamic facial expressions! Which they want to emphasise for this title. He can still do his signature frown, and I'm sure he will a lot. And every time it will be a "oh sh-- there it is" moment
@AndyMcDonald Have you seen Reanimal which is actually developed by the team who created Little Nightmares 1 & 2?
This third game is developed by another company. Not to say it's a bad thing... but Reanimal looks like the stronger offering. I'll likely pick up both
Anyone else here confused that they think Spelunky 2 takes 27 hours for a single run?? Maybe if you've never played a game before... heck, on a first play, if you play online, someone can carry you through the game in 30 minutes... and you've basically seen everything 🤷♂️
Edit: I mean it's hard sure... but it's still a quick game. Compared with Binding of Isaac where you actually NEED to complete it multiple times to unlock everything
Has Mitch tried "checking for corrupted data". Seems overkill to say not to buy it because it's not working for one person... I haven't heard anyone else with this issue
You can get four brand new Nintendo games worth £200 for £134.40 !! Or worth up to £240 if you only buy the most expensive games on offer!
That's crazy savings. Shame DKC was overpriced to begin with though.
And a bit of a gamble on the other games considering their releases are way off. Always some other games you can get though. Like the two zeldas and smash bros for £60 each if you haven't got them already!
Then if you're even smarter and buy with discounted eshop cards online. You could potentially get four games for the price of two! You could get it very close to costing just £120 for four £60 games! Not badddd
Edit: it would still cost £168 (or cheaper with discounted eshop cards) but you get a LOT back in gold points for other purchases
Bit surprised to find out there's a scaled back roster considering how ridiculously massive the roster seemed to be to me when I loaded up the game and went through them all... guess they will be added in periodically.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 Supposedly "Unplayable" For Some Players After Repeated Crashes
No crashes but the game looks very ugly to me... I'm confident it could have been better optimised for the console. Poor showcase.
Also disappointed with the game in general. Took soooo long to get started. I don't want to watch a movie. I wanted to play a game!
