@Kingy No, you keep making baseless claims. But sure, you aren't going to give any actual proof of your claims, like I knew before I first replied to you, so this discussion is fruitless.

@Kingy I wasn't talking about the price. I was talking about the fact that you said that it was cut content. Which you have been dodging ever since. So no, your baseless assertion isn't better than mine.

I am ofcourse going to buy it. I do also still have the 3D collection, but that lacks SMG2 and doesn't have higher resolution on Switch 2.

I will be getting the download version ofcourse.

@Kingy I am not alleging that they removed content. I cannot proof that they didn't remove content. But I know how games are developed and I know what is in the base game. On which I based my point.

Your point has no base.

Did they start Development of the DLC before the Game was released? More than likely.
Did they start Development of the DLC before they finished Development of the base game? I doubt that, because that would be noticable in the base game (as in clearly missing content).

Development of most Nintendo games are finished roughly 8-10 months before release. So with a DLC after 2 months after release you'll get a development time of 10-12 months. Which is absolutely enough.

@Kingy Only for the claim that it's cut content. As in meant to be in the game. There is no source for that. That they started development before release is quite common, also "development" of the base game could've been finished months before the actual release. So enough time to create DLC.

So the only proof I want is that it's cut content.

@Kingy You have any sources / proof for your alligation?

For me: I can play the entire game from start to finish without the DLC content. It also has some great post-game content as well. Donkey Kong Island was never named anywhere within the original game, neither was the DLC added subquest. The DLC subquest also is not a part of the game or post game. So everything is additive. So no, the DLC is not "cut content". It's either ideas the dev team had but couldn't fit within the original game or new ideas after release.

Only point could be the amount of content in the DLC, but I haven't finished it yet (the DLC) and when I do I will evaluate this. For now I think the price is okay for the amount of content offered. I've seen more expensive DLC with less content.

@Araquanid Home is and was originally designed to allow you to easily move old Pokémon to newer games. That you can transfer backwards in some of them is not it's main feature.

@Dom_31 Pokémon home is not created by GameFreak but by Ilca.

If the quality is there, this ofc a very awesome collector's item. It at least looks hard cover and the print looks good on the picture.

@JimmyFleck The desert is barren. So.. like a desert.

Also this doesn't look open world to me, but the bike being the transportation method between area's in the game. Which is actually quite common in these style of games. It doesn't feel like you can go everywhere and do anything like in an open world game.

@Lizuka He is clearly someone who loves what he has created and wants to show that in every single detail. And that shows.

@Misima Do you really think Nintendo reads Nintendolife comments sections? If you want to complain, you can contact Nintendo directly.

I bought the DLC, because I loved the base game - which I already have completed - and adding DK Island is awesome. It's not something that "should've been in the base game" or is "cut to be made dlc". It's something extra for fans of DK.

And to everyone complaining about the price: nobody is forcing you to buy it. If you can't handle the FOMO, that's YOUR problem. If you rather buy something else, then do so.

And here we go again, complaining about inflation time price. Two awesome games for €40 each (or 35 when buying the bundle). That's nothing to be angry about.

Trademarks need actively be renewed otherwise you could lose them. Sure that's not really an issue for an old game, but Nintendo MIGHT someday want to make a new game in these series.

@OmnitronVariant They mention "in game purchase" for every game with online multiplayer.. since that requires a NSO sub.

Genki tried to get early revenue from the Switch 2 by being early with their announcment. It's a terrible tactic that ultimately hurt Nintendo's reveal. So yeah, this outcome is absolutely the correct one.

Revealing secret information is just not done, NDA or not.

@Rooty You can just make a screenshot (on Switch)

So we went from "Terrible, unplayable, low fps" to "most impressive port" in less than a week.

The Force is very weak here.

@Sebazy Piracy is not, never was nor ever will be game preservation. Piracy is illegal, theft and people who do it belong in jail. That is my very simple and clear stance on it.

Also I am not defending anyone. I am just writing down my opinion, which aligns with the law.

@Matl Yes.

This is very good. Pirates who sell their stuff are enterly to blame for los game sales. And should be punished. I am very happy with the outcome of this lawsuit.

@AmanPikon I never heard of those. Also I don't count mobile games, games.

For me the best game on Switch 2 is currently Donkey Kong Bananza, and that - to me - is currently the Game of the Year. With MarioKart World being 2nd place.

3. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (S2E)
4. Kirby and the Forgotten land + Star Crossed world (S2E)
5. LoZ. Tears of the Kingdom (S2E)
6. Deltarune (S2E)
7. Silksong (S2E)
8. Welcome Tour
9. Nintendo GameCube NSO
10. Dear me, I was. (nice visuals, but really boring)

A game has to report as "Switch 2 software" on the home screen to be eligible to be on this list. And ofcourse I need to have played it on my Switch 2.

Rayman Legends a game from 2013. With no new Rayman game in the last 12 years .

@Yel333 And that's where you are incorrect. A lot of people don't play free to play games exactly because of the reason I mentioned. So a free to play game might be free, but it has no effect on the precieved price of a paid for game.

@Yel333 Actually, they don't. No game is truly free. Or it's a very old game or a hobby project. F2P games either collect and sell your data (money for developer) and/or have direct sales of ingame goods.

price = (cost + profit margin) / sales.

It's very simple. A game like silksong is set to sell millions of copies, so the price can be lower.

@DiamondJim Cyberpunk doesn't use Ubisoft's engine. So not comparible.

This is also why XBOX and PS5 games always require a full installation of the game on internal storage. Sure they could also have just put the game as an installation on the cartridge, but the Switch 2 really doesn't offer that option.

The real difference is here that on PS5/XBOX the game can be installed offline, where on Switch 2 you need an internet connection. (or the game just runs off of the GameCard)

Game is decent, but honestly not that good the hype makes it up to be. Gameplay is fluid and it's a metroidvenia, but honestly that's been done a lot of times before.

I was able to download it without issue on gamepass. Game is a decent enough platformer. Don't see what all the hype is about, though yet. Will play more later on

Again it's about the game-key card and not about the game... sigh.

After playing both Octopath Traveller 1 and 2, I can't wait for this one. I hope the Switch 2 performance is great and it seems to be.

None of them for me. I have enough 'cozy' games, so no Camper van. The others look meh at best.

Also no Silksong. At least not on Switch, I might download it on GamePass.

Finally we can start talking about different games.

I might get this on PC.

Looks decent, but I'll wait for the 30-80% discount in 2-3 months. It's Ubisoft afterall.

@Wood_Stick Why? You can just extend your current sub and get the two months extra.

@Lizuka Honestly I find it quite sad there aren't any FE ports for Switch (2). The system fits perfectly.

@Kiyata I do hate stickers in Lego set. But expensive sets often have print pieces (and yeah, some still have annoying stickers). But this is something we won't know until it's released.

@beartown True, but this is mostly because Lego sets are often small recreations of big things (buildings, etc) where you don't really notice it. But with (nearly) 1:1 size sets like this one it becomes apparant. It just really looks like a Lego set now.

@beartown Yes, it's a Lego set. You are going to have someting made out of small pieces and not a single molded plastic piece.

An almost 7000 piece Pokémon Lego set? That's going to be huge! In comparison the Lego Titanic is 9090 pieces.

I'm guessing it's a Battle field with 2 Pokémon fighting with some nice play features. (though it is 18+)

@Keman If you ever thought the Switch 2 would reach PS5 levels of performance you really are just lying to yourself. It's a PS4+ console level of quality. Or let me say it differfently: somewhere between PS4 and XBOX Series S.

We've known this since it was announced. Looking at the gameplay video above.. yep that is a lot like the Series S in quality. Not PS5 levels, but still playable.

Ah first day of the month (any month) the "Nintendo Direct happening this month" posts are back. Just on schedule.

I am guessing it will be in the next 29 days, or not. Who knows.

@Anti-Matter Most likely there will be no physical media. And knowning Sony you would be required to buy their brand of memory cards that are priced 5x the normal memory cards.

@SNESMaster But would the games run at the same quality (docked) as the console only PS6? I wonder.

If not, nobody is going to buy it.

Rumor #102030432 of Sony making a handheld again. I believe it when I see it.

The closest thing they got to making one is the Wii U controller rip-off they made, the "PlayStation Portal".

IGN is a .7/10 website.

Don't call something "Studio Ghibli" if it's not made by them.

Mega Machamp, now with 6 arms.

@tsim21 Doing half the work and still getting all the money ofcourse is very good for shareholders.

Just say every month that a Nintendo Direct is going to happen and you're bound to be correct at least once.

Just like a broken clock.
