Pointless remaster of an already and still absolutely gorgeous HD 2D game. The Wii U version even supports an exclusive 5 player mode with the GamePad, so… I can totally foresee a scenario in which one doesn’t pick this up …unless it’s 5 bucks 🌝

Sega being sega… champions at taking stupid decisions haha… Hopefully they didn’t do it.

Still no Borderlands 3 which is crazy for an AAA title.

Too bad because, imo, World is miles better than Wilds which is the worst Monster Hunter I’ve ever played. It’s so automated and hand-holdy that, in many ways, it almost feels like a beautiful mobile game. And that forced story is so boring and out of place… eyeroll

But well… for those who haven’t tried it yet: have fun

Can we output the HDMI signal at 4K or are we stuck at 1440p when VRR is enabled (just like we are when we activate 120Hz mode)?

That would suck because having to upscale twice makes the picture a bit less sharp. It’s a bit annoying with Street Fighter 6.

Every time I go into a store full of Pokémon cards, I can now instantly tell who’s a stupid scalper or investor who doesn’t even play the game… and it’s almost always masc cis bro men 🌝

I quit the Xbox version a while ago. I simply can’t stand the level scaling crap that makes leveling feel almost pointless.

Anyway, they’ve already somewhat announced the death of Diablo IV by announcing Diablo V… So I won’t come back on Switch 2.

I played it for the first time ever on my Wii U GamePad with the widescreen patch last month. It was great and I really didn’t mind the « short » length. Like others have said, good short games are good enough. There’s no need for pointless padding.

Arms for $41.99? Omg thank you so much Nintendo. You REALLY spoil us 🥰

Pretty sure he asked ChatGPT to write the apologies 🤭

They should add a widescreen hack option for every non native widescreen GC games… Tons of retro gamers know how to do this with GS/AR codes on real hardware, Wii U or on emulators 🌝

Oh thank you for this PRECIOUS final advice, Nintendo.

And now I’m gonna enquire about this forbidden card.

OMG can’t wait to pay 40$ for a digital licence for New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe! What a bargain Nintendo. As usual, you know how to reward your fans… 🤭

@fabiotc that’s… what I said

Is the battle system still a mess? They made some changes between the two « first » episodes so maybe they made other changes for the last one?

VRR in docked mode! ❤️ FINALY! But are we limited to a 1440p signal with VRR on just like in 120hz mode? That would suck.

@Pillowpants especially funerals

Nintendo relies way too much on its past games and ideas these days. Did all the talented people from back in the day leave? Half of Mario Kart World’s tracks already consists of recycled old tracks, many of which had already been recycled before… And now we’re getting recycled SNES tracks. Wow.

At least it’s free. Surely this will make everyone agree that the game is now an absolute masterpiece 🌝

@MJF I found the Final Fantasy VII Remakes to be such a slog, so I wouldn’t say they’re particularly good at remaking things, sadly and IMO haha 😅

I’m pretty sure the story writing is gonna suck, like in the majority of these « retro » JRPGs obsessed with enhanced 16 bit graphics which are still mostly incapable of recapturing the epic magic of the 32 bit/128 bit JRPG era.

It’s probably gonna be another total meh for me.

I wish that, regarding « nostalgia » they focused more on the style of the ps1/ps2 era than the nes/snes… The kind of Final Fantasy that most people really love are from that era, with gorgeous pre-rended scenery, not pixel art stuff (I like it though). Ofc, it would be much more expensive…

I definitely don’t need Mario Kart World anymore now. I was sure Nintendo wouldn’t update MK8 for Switch 2 to force feed us with Mario Kart World (which is a total deception imo) but it turns out I was wrong ❤️

@Ramouz I was wrong. I tried the new patch.

They didn’t fix ***** about the reverted axis bug they added years ago now. I can’t believe it.

@N00BiSH yeah it’s gonna take another 15 years 😩

One of the best studios Xbox ever acquired and they still didn’t see the need to keep them… Psychonauts 2 is one of the best adventure/platformers I’ve ever played on Xbox.

That said, Xbox’s funding allowed them to really beef up Psychonauts 2’s content so it could become the game it was meant to be.

Anyway, the split ended up working out really well, so I’m happy for them.

Can’t wait for Psychonauts 3!

Oh thank you for this publicity Nintendon’t. Now I wanna try a Switch emulator even more 🙂

« Fixed an issue where inverse controller settings were not applied correctly. » OMG finally!! It only took them YEARS to fix a stupid bug they added themselves with a broken update.

I’m gonna try this.

60fps but still no texture filtering in classic mode?

[EDIT] They didn’t fix the reverted axis bug. What the hell?

It fixed some of the issues I had on the Xbox Series X’s version so, even though it’s nowhere near as beautiful as it is on Xbox (which is VRR compatible) I now prefer to play on Switch 2.

Well deserved! I had a blast playing it on Xbox Series X.

We desperately NEED VRR in docked mode. The game would run so much better with it. Otherwise, it’s a nice port and probably my fav way to play it.

However, as with most MMORPGs, the story of FF XIV is just overwhelming and, IMO, pretty meh as F. I tried to get into it but I just can’t. So now I skip most of the blablabla and consider the real story of the game to be the one I’m creating with other players in this gorgeous universe.

Anyway, it’s a GREAT game. I love it.

I won’t buy another switch 2 unless it’s an OLED OR a VRR capable model with a 2.1 signal @4k 120hz.

Sad… if it was faithful to the original unlike that reinterpretation that are the FF7 Remakes it could have been amazing.

I used to be a big fan of their UT graphic tshirts but they changed the shape of many of them lately and it looks way too large for me now :/ Sad because the MK ones look great.

Wow! Remasters, remakes, DLC, another ABBA karaoke. This is great.

@tseliot he is barely a millennial but Gen Y tend to look younger than all the previous gens.

I wish Switch 2 was VRR compatible docked because it would run MUCH smoother on modern TV. They also have to find a way to avoid disconnection when you play with a wired dock and then you wanna continue to play handheld over WiFi. This is REALLY annoying!

Other than that, having FFXIV on a handheld is great!

@xHHHx Dragon Age: The Veilguard was great but of course we can bet that the influence of its very open minded « new » publishers is going to have a terrible impact on the franchise which might please you

The whole story should have already been concluded in the first one though… Too much padding 🤭

@Andee9001 @OwenGamer22 It’s like the shareholders were absolutely determined to cram random third party franchises into the game at any cost, so they just went with the cheaper ones that were still somewhat well known haha…

I wish they focused more on their internal franchises for these DLC instead. The game is starting to look like a bit of a mishmash.

This is BS lol… Just remake them the way they were made and you can release them in one episode. No need for bland padding like they did for VII.

@Thomystic it says that Logicalbeat was involved in cooperating with the support of 4K & 60fps for Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. So their involvement in the Switch 2 port is far from substantial.

Considering how unstable and unpolished the Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster was at launch on the original Switch before it was patched into a decent state, I’m not very confident about the Xenoblade 2 port now 😅

« it seems likely that Xbox will also follow suit. » That’s a possibility but we don’t know anything about this though. Nintendo could also change its stance in 2 years. Most Switch 2 games are already keycards anyway… while the same games often get a disc with playable datas on Xbox :/

@Olliemar28 I never said they were making ZERO new games. I said they could use those resources to create more high-quality, brand new games instead of remakes of games that most of us have already played, giving us MORE original experiences. And by the way, most of the new games we’re talking about haven’t exactly been very memorable so far… More talent and resources could… help

The problem with remakes is that they take years of time and resources to recreate games we’ve already played, instead of using those same resources to deliver a brand new experience with the same level of quality.

I get his point but I also see the easy money.

(That article is far from neutral lol…)

This is an insult to players. The Switch 2 version looks just like my Xbox copy.

There’s no real upgrade whatsoever… it’s basically just changing a variable to render the game at 4K instead of 1080p.

I’ve already compared the Xbox version to the Switch version and the difference is so negligible that charging this much without even offering an upgrade path (which should be free anyway, especially on Switch 2) feels like a huge middle finger to players.

Honestly, the Switch 1 version is more than good enough. I survived just fine without the speed boost and cutscene skipping and it looks great.

@Najlosiji I can fit my Ambernic in my pocket… It’s much smaller than a switch lite, much more accurate, far less expensive and I don’t have to rent anything I don’t play N64 or GC on it though, I prefer to play on real hardware. If you are ok with the emulation perfs provided by Nintendo, I’m happy for you. Enjoy.

I can’t believe people are okay to pay 80 bucks for day one games on digital stores while you can have them for like 55~60 bucks physical in many stores the same day.

@solarwolf07 @friendly The input lag is bad even in handheld mode. I can’t believe so few people notice it. Nintendo don’t even use frame-ahead features to eliminate it like we all do on modern emulators. It’s pretty obvious on N64, GameCube (especially SoulCalibur 2), and even on SNES.

@progx I think you misread my comment.
