I'm not sure if there's anyone around right now who could make a good pixel art Metal Slug game... Tribute Games are the only ones that spring to mind.

There is a possibility they'd want to, because Mercenary Kings is ALMOST like Metal Slug. But could they do a full fledged Metal Slug game? I'm not too sure.

Paul Robertson is definitely more than capable of capturing the humour of Metal Slug, but he also has his own distinct style that people would need to adjust to.

I don't know... not sure if this will work... and if not pixel art, then it won't be Metal Slug to me

I'd prefer being able to select specific parts of the game to speed run, that would be much more interesting to me, at least just as a way to play them again without having to go through loads of other story stuff. Perhaps with some randomiser elements.

Like the underground bit with Grace is fun, a good self contained part of the game. But you can't play it outside of restarting the whole game.

Wasn't meant to start the discussion here... sorry guys. Hope this game is good!

@TKundNobody yes, but it's officially licensed

Speaking of browsing the eshop and spotting something. Surprised you guys haven't reported on this yet? Been out for a couple of weeks

Looks like easily a solid 14% on rotten tomatoes

Deciding on Nicalis

I am VERY impressed with the polish of this collection. If the CRT filter was decent this would be a 10/10 for me

@JumpingJackson a game you missed!

@TrueBlueYoshi yeah, that's what I meant. If capcom are releasing more of their disney games. I don't know... I'd be surprised if it is limited to Goof Troop and Bonkers.

That being said, I don't know what else they'd put in the collection beyond those three...

That Magical Quest trilogy is feeling more likely...

Oh wonderful! And about time! Maybe we'll get a Disney's Magical Quest trilogy at some point??

DuckTales Remastered would also have been nice but very happy with the original coming to switch (finally)

I loved Edmund's reaction

This before Wario Land???

Where's R-Type Dimensions 2? haha

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!

@LightSpirit this is what I am wondering too. Shook honestly

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.

Love how they forgot to release Mario Sunshine

Price is ridiculous... fun!

@johnedwin WWE 2K25

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.

How did a 2008 game inspire a 2004 game??

@KaiserGX and custom controls plus controls explanation

Already starting to get fairly accurate custom creations like batman and ladypool. I'm not sure what the fuss was about

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.

Let's see though...

@CrowbarManZero 🥹

@pikachupikachup Nintendo Switch 2 is a handheld :' )

Nintendo 2DS has a 2 in its name

Edit: So does the New Nintendo 2DS XL, this guy's full of $#!¥

If it has Elvis maybe

@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

Wait... Game Builder Garage is both an incompatible game AND one with a free update? Does that set a precedent? What does it meannn???

@Markiemania95 Uu comes before V

👀 also Smash Bros in the poll

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?

So it is like the game boy color black cartridges

(Conker's Pocket Tales was totally different depending on colour or not!)

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.

I didn't just get an invite, I've pre-ordered! Where is that on the poll?

Having never played the fourth game... I actually think this is a good change?

They'll likely patch it anyway given the outcry. But it sounds like a good change to me

Love my Game Gear. Honestly no competition, Game Boy isn't even in colour!

@BoFiS Yes, but it would be better centered for the camera, also the mic gets moved to a better position underneath

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.

Umm... please reword the article not to get people's hopes up...

@Jokerwolf 👀

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

Just going to casually start that rumour now...

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

Remember the xbox 360 controller that you rotated to change from an awful xbox d-pad to a true d-pad? That was cool

Viewtiful Joe is coming

When was it confirmed for Switch? It was confirmed for Nintendo... not Switch
