I already got this game on Steam so even if a Switch 2 port is possible, the only way I would double dip and buy it again is if it got an actual physical release with the game on the cartridge and actually ran decently both in portable and dock mode. Otherwise my Steam copy ran just fine on Steam Deck with a little performance hiccup but still playable.
Back in the old days even with single player games, we usually turn those into 2-player games where we would take turn playing a level or getting through challenges. In games like Final Fantasy VI we would assign a character to a particular player and in games like Sparkster or Earthworm Jim we would take turns playing a level while sharing the same lives. In games like Mortal Kombat II, me and my brother would take turn trying to beat Kintaro and Shao Kahn with our favorite fighters, I would use Scorpion and Liu Kang while he use Sub-Zero and Reptile.
@FullMetalWesker The pixel remaster are nothing like HD-2D, the pixel remasters are just clean up versions of those original games, they don't have the same artistic styles of HD-2D (with the only exception being the opera scenes from FFVI which somehow is the only time they go HD-2D). The reason why a lot of fans are clamouring for HD-2D remake of older 2D RPGs was cause by doing HD-2D they are bringing back those games in a more artistic styles that aren't affected by HD clean-up. The reason I don't like the pixel remasters as much was cause they are just too clean up and lack of any artistic value. Final Fantasy games are not suppose to be too clean up.
FF games are suppose to be more artistic and engaging both in its art style and gameplay mechanics. Take a game like Breath of Fire III which had a unique art style and compare it to a game like Breath of Fire 6 which had clean-up graphics making it feel more and more like a flash game, I rather play Breath of Fire III over Breath of Fire 6 anyday. The HD-2D style are more like Breath of Fire III whereas the pixel remasters are more similar to Breath of Fire 6. Those pixel remasters just look more like flash games or asset flip titles from RPG Maker. It just doesn't deliver the same magic.
@daftmagician Yeah but they use to go all out with the series back then. There's suppose to be an upgrade to a game every few years, now you had to deal with a base game with dlc only. Where's Street Fighter 6 Champion Edition, Street Fighter 6 Turbo Edition, Super Street Fighter 6, Ultra Street Fighter 6, etc? Now it's just vanilla Street Fighter 6 with a bunch of new characters every season and that's it.
What they use to do for Mega Man and Street Fighter they now do it only for Resident Evil. Should had continue doing more for Mega Man and Street Fighter so those two franchise wouldn't feel so dead. We should had been at Mega Man 25, Mega Man X12, Mega Man Battle Network 10, Mega Man Legends 5, and Mega Man Star Force 4 by now with multiple remakes of Mega Man 1-10, Mega Man World 1-5, Mega Man and Bass, Mega Man Zero 1-4, and Mega Man X1-6.
Dude for Final Fantasy IV-VI and IX, just remake them in HD-2D like you did Dragon Quest I-III and Live a Live. Nobody were asking for those to be triple a movie games like that awful Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy. For a game like Chrono Trigger, either make it HD-2D like Octopath Traveler, 2.5D like the Star Ocean: Second Story remake, or the 3D style of the Trials of Mana remake are also okay. Y'all don't have to go all triple a on everything.
@Zeeba Fast RMX (and more importantly Fast Fusion) is not a WipEout successor cause WipEout is not about speed but more about getting first to the finish line. In WipEout you don't try to outrun the competitors, you try to do whatever you can to stay in first place and you had weapon items and power boost to help you do it. Fast RMX and F-Zero don't have weapon or item usage during a race, in those you must go fast and try to run over anyone attempting to pass you.
So it's a 2D action game that cost more but ran worst than Hollow Knight: Silksong on Switch 1? Wonder if this is due to laziness or just a scheme to persuade people to wait for a Switch 2 edition.
Support physical yes but they really need to slow down on all the game key card nonsense. So far the only game they released that isn't a game key card is Sonic Racing CrossWorlds. They need to do better. Put Metaphor Re-Fantazio and the Yakuza games on actual game cartridge please.
@AussieMcBucket Even if it was the added cost of the extra storage, this is a multimillion dollar company with hundred of IPs to which they could easily make money from. There's no reason they can't eat the cost of a tiny little storage fee from those cartridge. It's not like Square Enix is a small indie dev company you know. When I hear of Square Enix, I don't see a small company. Small companies are guys like WayForward, Evening Star, Mercury Steam, Shift Up, Bitmap Bureau, Devolver Digital, Saber Interactive, Tri-Ace, Raw Thrill, Game Science, Gemdrop, Alpha Dreams, Yacht Club Games, Platinum Games, and Shin'en, companies like Square Enix, Take Two, Rockstar, UbiSoft, Bethesda, EA, Activision, Capcom, SNK Playmore, THQ, Disney, Atari, Bandai Namco, Warner Bros., Koei Tecmo, Sega, and Konami are not small companies, they had no reason to use game key card. These guys had millions in the bank and would rather cheap out then to go full throttle with a native physical release. If you're a multimillion dollar company with hundreds of IPs that you could easily make money from, there's no reason to even use game key card. Eat the cost and just let your game sell. The customer's wallet will come if they see the value. Game key card has no value.
Know that buying things is just a way of trading right, when you do a trade you must be sure that what you trade with is of value to you. If the customer feels that the product you sell to them is of no value and they refuse to buy then you must do better. How do you do better, will give them the real deal that's how. Companies nowadays failed to realize that.
It's going to be exclusively Steam Deck all the way for me. Switch 2 maybe someday in the future if Konami does a digital sales of some kind. Not buying no game key card.
Looks like they just up the res from 1x to 2x and that's it. Not that big of a jump for me. Not worth the extra $50 to get it again if you already got it on Switch 1. This could had easily just be a free DLC patch for Switch 2 owner rather than a full price retail port. The fact that the reason both Final Fantasy X and X-2 didn't originally get incuded on a Switch cartridge together was cause Switch 1 at the time didn't had a big enough cartridge size so FFX-2 had to be a download code while FFX was the one on the cart but now that Switch 2 had a 64gb cartridge (enough to fit both games), both are not included on cartridge and had to resort to game key card? What a bizarre, scummy, and greedy move on Square Enix's part.
Doesn't matter how much physical games sell, the real thing is that there are still customers wanting physical release of those games. Taking that option away just makes no sense. I mean before video games exist there were board games, just cause we had video games afterward doesn't mean we kill board games too. No, board games still exist today as well and board games are more physical than even video games. Even though we the mass consumers had jump shift from board games to video games that doesn't mean board games needs to die. We left board games but we still kept board games alive cause there are still some consumers who enjoy them. So why treat physical video games any different from that, just cause digital games are selling better now doesn't mean we had to kill physical release of those games, leave those option to the consumers to decide, not the corporations.
My hope is if this came out before the Ocarina of Time remake, if it does I may pick it up first but if Ocarina of Time remake release in the same month then Ocarina would have my money first. No way will I miss Ganondorf's spectacular return.
It would be nice to have Sega Master System, Game Gear, NeoGeo MVS or AES, NeoGeo Pocket Color, MSX, Dreamcast, and PC Engine/Turbo Grafx-16 games on NSO though I'm glad HAMSTER still handle arcade archives and now console archives too.
Currently Nintendo had released, announced, or leaked 12 games that aren't even remakes so not sure why all these complaint about remakes came from. So far only Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Star Fox were remakes and that's just three games.
If you want to release a Star Ocean game to Switch 2 to celebrate its 30th anniversary Square Enix at the very least choose the one that is yet to be on the original Switch like Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Star Ocean: Til the End of Time, or Star Ocean: The Divine Force, any one of them three would had been better.
@mlt The only rare time Rondo of Blood got actual release for Nintendo is when it got the Wii Virtual Console release. I would had count Dracula X for Super NES as a released of Rondo of Blood but it's really not, like Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth and the Haunted Castle remake titled Haunted Castle Revisited, it's just a 16-Bit remake of the game.
With Sony's account, Symphony of the Night got released five times for PlayStation alone, once for PS1, then again for PS3 and PSP as a PS1 classic, then again as an included bonus for the Dracula X remake collection for PSP and again when a similar collection got ported for PS4. With how Symphony of the Night was so dear to Sony, I am surprise they didn't include the game as part of the lineup for their awful PlayStation Classic Mini plug n play. It would had been a better addition than games like Rainbow Six or Intelligent Qube.
@Suketoudara I knew Konami would go the cheap route and only use a 1gb cartridge for the Switch 1 version. Still that doesn't excuse them to not include Super Bomberman: Panic Bomber W for the Switch physical release. Even for 1gb, you could include at least 500 Super NES or Genesis roms on there. This collection could easily include Genesis, PC Engine, NeoGeo, Game Boy, PS1, and Saturn versions as well.
This is why physical sale is best, you get good deals like this sometimes though I kinda wish the choice of bundle game were actual physical game and not just a digital code.
@mlt For some reason those two Castlevania games are the only two that Sony hold hostage for PlayStation away from all the other platforms. Those two are also the only two 2D Castlevania games originally released on disc (Turbo CD and PS1) as every Castlevania games on every collection (Castlevania Anniversary, Castlevania Advance, and Castlevania Dominus collections) are cartridge versions only. I guess Sony like their disc games more even though they are getting rid of disc forever in 2028.
I wonder why they are too afraid to announce it sooner. The other platforms had their release date confirm from the get-go but the Switch version had a tba instead. Good that they release it for Switch and not Switch 2, likely chance of the game having a physical version that is not game key card.
The only game that could beat Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX is Pokémon Gold and Silver which we all know Nintendo will never include on NSO cause they greedy and want to sell those for money instead of giving it for free temporarily.
@Bustacap Why not both, vrr is just a performance toggle, not a display feature. Having an OLED display does not mean vrr couldn't happen. Just cause we go from vanilla to chocolate doesn't mean it couldn't be hot, it could be cold or hot. Vrr is just hot, it could be either vanilla or chocolate.
Tbh OLED should had been the standard for portable handheld display going forward now. LCD needs to be retired for good. It's like going from Standard Definition (SD) to High Definition (HD), once you go HD there's no going back to SD anymore. Considering OLED display are cheaper nowadays, there's no reason to go back to LCD anymore. The Switch 2 needs to remain at $500 even if they do use an OLED display, I mean the GBA SP2 didn't jump in price when it used a better backlit screen than the frontlit GBA SP, both cost the same so why should the OLED Switch 2 be any different when it comes to pricing. Just eat the cost Nintendo and you will get more in return when customers are buying your games in drove.
@Koda1000 They can't delist it if it's for a different console though, Nintendo treated Switch 1 & 2 as different platform so games release for one or the other won't affect the ones before it.
Meh it's going to just be a game key card release so it already isn't a good bundle. Just get the Switch 1 bundle instead. These games already look and ran great on Switch 2 anyways so paying $75 more for minor updated rental versions with no new contents just aren't worth it.
These numbers came before the Sony ditching physical backlash. We'll see how the next two weeks would look like. As for why the PS5 Digital Edition selling well, it's likely most bought it for the cheaper price for now and once they got it they would go buy the disc drive for it later which is much better and in some case cheaper than buying the whole physical edition PS5.
I'm guessing they are saving the bigger Super Mario surprise for the 50th anniversary. The 40th anniversary feels like an afterthought due to all the AI and ram crisis that's going on.
@purple_shyguy Most of those are just different versions of Street Fighter II. The Street Fighter Alpha series and the Street Fighter EX series were quite a surprise back then though and those Street Fighter movie games were interesting too despite being unbalance games.
It's online only means that it's just a live service game which means owning it as a game key card is pointless here anyways since all it'll be is just a launcher to the game.
Also since it's online only, it's not a great game for portable on the go play so it already lose the benefit of being on a hybrid system by not being a game that took advantage of that feature. It's like porting a black and white game to a color system and still had no colors, what is even the point, just leave it on the black and white system then.
I hope that idSoft went independent or gets bought by Atari like Nightdive did so we get more titles coming to all platforms. I'm still hoping we get Doom RPG 1 & 2 for Switch or Switch 2 someday.
Finally, the original and best Wario Land game ever is here. This version of Wario Land is better cause it didn't change the mechanics of the original two Super Mario Land games. While the main character change, having the role to play as a villain for the first time is fantastic and there are still deaths and pits that can still kill you like the previousd two SML games unlike the successors (WL2-4) where the game hardly ever kill Wario anymore.
It's Europe only, Nintendo consoles usually struggle there. It make sense that they discontinued on from there due to lack of strong hardware sales there. India is going to get some in 2027 and Nintendo will likely keep Switch going in Japan and North America for a little longer due to massive sales still happening whereas Switch 2 is getting more and more games. I think Nintendo won't completely end Switch for NA and JP until the next-gen Super Mario or Legend of Zelda game came out for Switch 2. Right now Switch 2 doesn't even had its own original Super Mario or Legend of Zelda game yet so until they do Switch 1 is here to stay.
This years has been a stroke of bad news after bad news for Microsoft and Sony whereas Nintendo had been doing good with their games and support for Switch 2. So far the only minor bad thing Nintendo does this year is price hike the Switch 2 to $50 which still hasn't happen yet until September and did it better than Sony and Valve. If Nintendo announced a brand new Super Mario 3D platform game coming next year in addition to Pokémon Winds and Waves coming out then it's over for Sony and Microsoft. They can't come back from this unless they return to physical games or release tons of exclusives that nobody expected coming.
And those DLCs were not part of the actual game why? How do you release a game and still purposely cut contents especially story contents that were suppose to be part of the final game? That's like releasing a book and ripping out chapters 5, 6 and 9 just so the reader could pay more.

Re: Star Racer, Confirmed For Switch, Is The Closest We're Getting To A New F-Zero
@Zeeba Fast RMX (and more importantly Fast Fusion) is not a WipEout successor cause WipEout is not about speed but more about getting first to the finish line. In WipEout you don't try to outrun the competitors, you try to do whatever you can to stay in first place and you had weapon items and power boost to help you do it.

Re: Star Racer, Confirmed For Switch, Is The Closest We're Getting To A New F-Zero
It feels more like a 2D WipEout than an F-Zero. It seems there's weapon firing mechanics in the game as well which makes it feel closer to WipEout.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Reportedly Considering A Switch 2 OLED Model

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Reportedly Considering A Switch 2 OLED Model
Tbh OLED should had been the standard for portable handheld display going forward now. LCD needs to be retired for good. It's like going from Standard Definition (SD) to High Definition (HD), once you go HD there's no going back to SD anymore. Considering OLED display are cheaper nowadays, there's no reason to go back to LCD anymore. The Switch 2 needs to remain at $500 even if they do use an OLED display, I mean the GBA SP2 didn't jump in price when it used a better backlit screen than the frontlit GBA SP, both cost the same so why should the OLED Switch 2 be any different when it comes to pricing. Just eat the cost Nintendo and you will get more in return when customers are buying your games in drove.

Meh it's going to just be a game key card release so it already isn't a good bundle. Just get the Switch 1 bundle instead. These games already look and ran great on Switch 2 anyways so paying $75 more for minor updated rental versions with no new contents just aren't worth it.
Re: Review: Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok (Switch 2) - A Deep, Addictive RPG With A So-So Story
Oh well at least I already got this game on Steam Deck so I could just skipped this version.
Re: The Excellent MIO: Memories In Orbit Is Getting A Proper Physical Edition On Switch 2
Nice but limit to only 2,000 copies, hopefully it doesn't sold out too soon.
Re: Japanese Charts: Holy Moly, Look At Those Rhythm Heaven Groove Sales
These numbers came before the Sony ditching physical backlash. We'll see how the next two weeks would look like. As for why the PS5 Digital Edition selling well, it's likely most bought it for the cheaper price for now and once they got it they would go buy the disc drive for it later which is much better and in some case cheaper than buying the whole physical edition PS5.
Re: Nintendo Is Releasing A Special Pin Set For Super Mario's 40th Anniversary
I'm guessing they are saving the bigger Super Mario surprise for the 50th anniversary. The 40th anniversary feels like an afterthought due to all the AI and ram crisis that's going on.
Re: Capcom Producer Remains Coy On A Potential 'Super Street Fighter 6' Update
@purple_shyguy Most of those are just different versions of Street Fighter II. The Street Fighter Alpha series and the Street Fighter EX series were quite a surprise back then though and those Street Fighter movie games were interesting too despite being unbalance games.
Re: The Crew Motorfest Arriving On Switch 2 This October
It's online only means that it's just a live service game which means owning it as a game key card is pointless here anyways since all it'll be is just a launcher to the game.
Also since it's online only, it's not a great game for portable on the go play so it already lose the benefit of being on a hybrid system by not being a game that took advantage of that feature. It's like porting a black and white game to a color system and still had no colors, what is even the point, just leave it on the black and white system then.
Re: Capcom Producer Remains Coy On A Potential 'Super Street Fighter 6' Update
One reason why I never buy the vanilla version, I knew a Champion, Super, Hyper, or Ultra Edition would surface sooner or later.
Re: DOOM's Developer id Software Has Supposedly Lost Around 50% Of Its Team
I hope that idSoft went independent or gets bought by Atari like Nightdive did so we get more titles coming to all platforms. I'm still hoping we get Doom RPG 1 & 2 for Switch or Switch 2 someday.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy & GBA Library With Four More Titles
Finally, the original and best Wario Land game ever is here. This version of Wario Land is better cause it didn't change the mechanics of the original two Super Mario Land games. While the main character change, having the role to play as a villain for the first time is fantastic and there are still deaths and pits that can still kill you like the previousd two SML games unlike the successors (WL2-4) where the game hardly ever kill Wario anymore.
Re: Nintendo Will Stop Selling The Original Switch From February 2027
It's Europe only, Nintendo consoles usually struggle there. It make sense that they discontinued on from there due to lack of strong hardware sales there. India is going to get some in 2027 and Nintendo will likely keep Switch going in Japan and North America for a little longer due to massive sales still happening whereas Switch 2 is getting more and more games. I think Nintendo won't completely end Switch for NA and JP until the next-gen Super Mario or Legend of Zelda game came out for Switch 2. Right now Switch 2 doesn't even had its own original Super Mario or Legend of Zelda game yet so until they do Switch 1 is here to stay.
Re: Nintendo Shares Statement After Being Voted Famitsu's Number One Developer
This years has been a stroke of bad news after bad news for Microsoft and Sony whereas Nintendo had been doing good with their games and support for Switch 2. So far the only minor bad thing Nintendo does this year is price hike the Switch 2 to $50 which still hasn't happen yet until September and did it better than Sony and Valve. If Nintendo announced a brand new Super Mario 3D platform game coming next year in addition to Pokémon Winds and Waves coming out then it's over for Sony and Microsoft. They can't come back from this unless they return to physical games or release tons of exclusives that nobody expected coming.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is A Breathtaking Success, Reaching 40 Million Copies Sold
One of the first and best physical release for the Switch 2.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Revelation Store Page Lists Multiple DLC And 'Story Expansion'
And those DLCs were not part of the actual game why? How do you release a game and still purposely cut contents especially story contents that were suppose to be part of the final game? That's like releasing a book and ripping out chapters 5, 6 and 9 just so the reader could pay more.
