Forever Entertainment strikes again. How do these guys keep getting projects is beyond me. Cheap maybe?

Especially the SEGA titles. Panzer Dragoon and House of the Dead deserved so much more.

We need more Switch 2 upgrades both from third parties and Nintendo. Konami and SEGA opting to have nothing in terms of upgrades is very crude.

@Eririichi I may not even be alive in 2080 or whichever year. Its not something I'm terribly worried about. Not that physical media is foolproof either. I've got old cartridges that don't function anymore.

@Eririichi The 360 store is already closed. You can still download games or DLC you've already purchased though.

I don't really see the point. I'd rather buy a game digitally to have that convenience and ability to fire it up whenever than buying a GKC. The only advantage is being able to resell it and I don't sell a lot of Switch games so.

If only other 3rd parties could follow suit when it comes to Switch 2 upgrades. Free or make it cheap. Rather, some have chosen to give nothing at all.

The performance on Switch 1 was genuinely distracting. On Switch 2, well they aren't lookers, but its far better than before.

Its kind of funny seeing all these more newer releases in the list then you have New Horizons still clinging on at 10.

@HammerKirby Huh, interesting.

@HammerKirby Is this true? It won't suffer from the same effect that other Switch 1 unpatched games have on Switch 2 where its a bit blurrier?

LRG is so cheap. There's a good idea here, giving life to older games but the execution has been left lacking. I felt similarly about Tomba.

Especially if you compare them to someone like Nightdive.

I feel like this should've been a launch title as well. Think a 3D platformer would've been a good companion to MK World.

Major props for Cyberpunk being one of the few games all on cart.

@Notsoavid Given how CD Project handled Cyberpunk, yeah I think Witcher 3 could look much better since it is just the Switch 1 version after all.

I'd love a Switch 2 version of the Witcher 3.

> Other platforms like the Wii U and GameCube shifted 13 million and 21 million units respectively during their lifetimes.

I know the GameCube was considered a bit of a flop, but that's even less than I thought.

Talk about coming out of nowhere. Considering the popularity of Splatoon surprised we didn't get a spin off sooner!

If this is full on cart then I'm interested as current Intergrade doesn't have a full version on PS5. The intergrade portion is a code there.

I'm doubtful though given that Bravely Default was a key card.

I think it's a bit of missed chance that this game isn't a real cartridge, just a key-card. Mainly since this game is digital only on other consoles.

Would've been cool to see. Overall performance seemed okay.

I was glad I was able to scrap together some coupons so I could get it for around $20 less than the initial price. I wanted a physical copy.

Hopefully we don't start moving even higher in terms of price.

I really wish this was a non game key card.

@Dev-N I think prices will increase, just because everything I think will increase in price. Rather unfortunately I would say, as some people have been struggling as is.

For once, I would say that this one launch you probably don't need to wait on if nothing else. At least in the U.S with tariffs and everything, there is a high chance that the Switch 2 will increase in price in the future.

Taking that into consideration, guess its better to get it now rather than wait later. Sure, an OLED model will probably drop later on and other special editions, but who knows what the economic situation will look at that point?

The quality of life stuff makes the HD version definitive by default. I really would never want to go back to the OG triforce shards for example.

I'm a bit mixed. I just don't think the hybrid console appeal is as high as it was with the original Switch.

Look, I get it it was never going to hit that some of same wow factor because its been out for a good several years and we have other handhelds in the PC landscape as well now.

The biggest deal I think will be the 1st party offerings. If Nintendo was able to push out games like TOTK and BOTW on old hardware like the Switch, imagine what they could do now on the Switch 2.

What is there for me to even be excited about? I know because of the situation in the US I know I won't be able to afford it.

So many things, to pay for. Games are more expensive, controllers are higher and I have to pay more money if I just want to run some games at a higher res/framerate. That is not an ecosystem I want to be apart of.

Its fine I suppose? I like the controllers that's why I subbed original to buy the SNES and N64 controllers.

Its a subscription service though at the end of the day and I don't like em. Nothing against NSO specifically, I don't care for gamepass or PS+ either.

Truly deflated any excitement I had. Unfortunately.

This is just wild.

Its not a terrible idea, although part of me kind of hopes that with these apps like Parental Control, Music, NSO and finally Nintendo Today maybe we should combine them into one app.

It must be very difficult to curate a store for it be quality titles without all this ai garbage, but literally every digital storefront suffers from this. PSN, Microsoft Store and of course, the eshop.

Gosh, thanks Nintendo I can finally play Hentai Games Collection on my Switch!

It does look a bit derpy, yeah.

You say as if every news website (this one included) wasn't trying to squeeze every drop of information it could get from said leaks.

Could hardly call them leaks at that point, more like a faucet.

It was neat. Need more information though.

Forever Entertainment? Really? The same guys who did the Panzer Dragoon and House of the Dead remake?

There was no else better, I mean come on.

I thought Luigi's mansion 2 HD was quite bare, even looking at the comparisons it seems that, that game got a bigger makeover compared to this game.

It doesn't look all that much better to me than previous versions of this game.

@johnedwin I've kind of said this before, but Sony/Microsoft are not competition with Nintendo given their audiences are quit different.

Someone who wants to play GTA6 isn't picking up a Switch. Probably an Xbox or a PlayStation and its been like this since the Wii I would say. I don't think Nintendo has anything to worry about as long as they don't flub it up like the Wii U.

I'M worried about Xbox, they need to be competitive with PlayStation so that they don't have other side of the market to themselves. The guys that only play call of duty, sports games and stuff like that.

I don't want the only option for games that don't come to Nintendo's platform to be just PlayStation or PC.

People are going to be furious if this patch doesn't end up on the carts by LRG, but I wouldn't put it past them not doing it.

For this being an HD release, it really doesn't particularly look it. They can't all be Metroid Prime levels, but we can do a bit better than this.

Out of everything Nintendo had announced this was probably the least interesting. We are overdue for a new Donkey Kong game.

More power/ is really the main thing and that's a given, since the hardware will be newer. Faceplates would be cool, sure. Other things, I am neutral on such as Streetpass I don't care whether they implement it or not I never used it on 3DS.

Heck, the Switch as it is has all these implementations in the joycons but its been barely utilized. Such as the IR sensor, which I am sure many people have forgotten even exists on those things.

@TeiGekiLord Sonic generations was already good. Even if the new content was only above average, the game would still be good because its Sonic generations.

I wish the series quality was more consistent like Mario rather than this rollercoaster of up and down quality.

While it is, nice it is sort of unfortunate that one of Sonic's better games is just a re-release of game that was already good.

Sure there's extra content, but new Sonic games are still hit or miss if the Superstars and Frontiers are anything to go by.

Speaking of things to use mynintendo points on, something like this would've been very cool. I've always felt like the point rewards have been a bit lackluster.

As someone who learned that they can have a bad habit of spending way too much money on these things, I am more than happy to not play any of these gacha games anymore.

I'll be staying far, far away for my own health and well - being.

Mother 3 is never leaving Japan is it

I love the Metroid series, I wish it sold better than it did but I am glad that Nintendo has continued to support it. There was an era where things were a bit iffy for a bit there.

I don't get the criticism that a game cannot have both things or that story is less relevant. There's enough complexity to video games as source of interactive media that boiling down to saying gameplay is better than story is far too surface level.

Visual novels as a genre are not known for their gameplay. You wouldn't call those games bad because those games prioritize story over gameplay. Some games don't intend on focusing on its story telling. Mario and Donkey Kong games have never been about that.

RPGs sometimes can focus on both stories and gameplay. Nintendo has done this themselves with the Xenoblade series. I would say that many Zelda games do have solid stories. Perhaps simple, but that doesn't mean that they are bad by nature.

Reading a book does not give the same experience as experiencing and watching the events happen through the character's perspective.

Romancing Saga 2 selling that much is actually surprisingly. The Saga series has always been pretty niche so I'm glad to see it get some success.

I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised given how old the Switch is now, but it is a shame that both third party games and 1st party games have both being having performance issues on the Switch.
