The demo looks slightly better but I don’t’ see that much differences with my ps4 version. I won’t buy it twice though.

30 fps is fine since the game often feels more like a gorgeous interactive movie rather than a JRPG…

I loved the game. It’s not for everyone but the universe is really interesting. It smells like typical Bethesda though. Many people spit on it because it was an Xbox exclusive but you can bet that as soon it’s going to be announced for ps5/s2 it will get some more points… It’s not a masterpiece but really far from a bad game.

@The_Nintendo_Expat Was it really luck to buy a system whose death was partly caused by Sony’s aggressive strategy after just two years? 🤭

My point is, you can’t objectively claim the N64 version of Rayman 2 was the best, since MIDI files can’t compete with all the other enhancements in the mind blowing DC version.

What the hell? Once you’ve played the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2 (and I mean the Dreamcast one, not the PS2), you just can’t go back to the N64 version without that gag reflex taste creeping up in your mouth 🌝

The N64 version has its charm, sure… but yeah. No.

NSO is a joke when it comes to N64 and GC games. For many people, input lag isn’t a concern (I’ve seen countless friends play on their TV without even turning on game mode, enduring horrendous latency and they didn’t even care) but if you are sensitive to it, it’s absolutely unbearable. I really didn’t enjoy SoulCalibur 2 on that emulator.

At least I still have and play with my N64 cartridge which contains a full bug free build 😏

And btw, iirc, that collection contains the arcade version, not the much smaller N64 port.

Expedition 33 is so overrated, omg… I won’t start a debate but as a JRPG fan, the game feels like a western parody to me.

I’m pretty sure it’s going to be released on the Switch 2 at some point. Don’t expect anything like a Final Fantasy… I don’t get how or why so many people compare it to the golden age of the FF franchise. We didn’t play the same games, obviously.

@Samalik @Vyacheslav333 I still don’t get why when people wanted Xbox exclusives so bad they always refused to invest in the Xbox ecosystem. They do for Nintendo and PS exclusives.

Anyway, the Xbox ship continues to sink…

@FrenchVaniIIuxe The game is rather good and didn’t flop, it was successful on gamepass…

@h3s I do. You will have to remap the buttons in the game’s options and connect your M30 to a computer to update its firmware in order to play on Switch 2.

This controller is absolutely amazing for fighting games. I also use it on Saturn, Dreamcast, Mega Drive and I also have a wired Xbox Series X version.

Oh please… a remake of a remake of an original? This loop will never end…

Even though I appreciate Nintendo trying to make it better, it’s still bland and boring imo. Just give us much more 3 laps races online!

Ooooh this is so good! As soon as I find a decent printer, I’ll print it.
And Mackenzie… I really hope there’s an update to quiet him… It’s like playing the game with a walkthrough.

Aside from that mainstream feature, the game’s actually really great.

@nathatruc Oh yes, you’re certainly right! At least we’ll still save some storage space then Thank you!

Carmageddon with zombies… for f*ck’s sake. What is this, the censored German version from the 90s? This sucks.

@VeganH Yeah they removed the personal streaming option from the official app for some stupid reason. Now you have to go to xbox.com/remoteplay to connect to your Xbox from anywhere or use a third party app like XBPlay. It’s annoying but XBPlay is totally worth it though.

Star Wars Outlaws port was closer to the series S than this so I guess I will skip that Switch 2 port and wait for the Xbox version to be cheap. I’m a tad disappointed. However it’s not that surprising, the Series S is clearly more powerful.

@VeganH what ? No… I can stream my Xbox games without any sub. I just stream them from my Xbox to my phone and a 25$ handheld controller.

It looks and plays great now 🥳

But if you already own the physical Switch 1 version, it’ll completely ignore the data on the cartridge. You have to download a whole separate build of the game which is about 15GB… Unlike games like Zelda BOTW, it seems that it doesn’t combine updated files with the original Switch 1 cartridge data.

@Folkloner the previous poster has a name, thank you.

And no, I didn’t misread anything. But thanks for the judgment, I guess.

It’s really not « laughable » to buy a physical Switch 2 game that still needs an internet connection just to play the version it’s supposed to include. The front of the box literally says the cartridge contains the Switch 1 version and the Switch 2 upgrade. Nowhere does it mention that the Switch 2 files require a day one patch and a download to even be playable.

WTF?? So the Switch 2 version is not even on the Switch 2 cartdridge? What a joke Nintendon’t…

Please, more beautiful HD-2D!

Well… I can see why the game don’t sell that much… 🌝

Great game but seriously… for 20 bucks they couldn’t provide a better enhanced ISO emulation? The visuals are awful and you can get way better results just by emulating the game yourself with widescreen support, texture filtering, texture-warp fixes etc. Croc got a much better treatment.

At least this is an official way to play it.

@Jumwa They added an easy mode in a later update

My guess is simply that the Switch 2 version is just the boosted Switch 1 build…

When you look at how Star Wars Outlaws runs on Switch 2, it’s pretty obvious this port was designed with Switch 1 in mind first.

@Krlozgod hence why, maybe

Probably related to the new Nintendo app that tracks gaming time even for 3DS and Wii U games. It’s just a network maintenance not a system update so I don’t think it’s gonna be related to « unofficial private gaming preservation » 😏😏

If it weren’t a Nintendo/Kirby game, I’m pretty sure critics would be harsher.

I really hated the beta, so unless the game drops to €10 (which NEVER happens with first-party Nintendo games…), I won’t buy that mess. I’m happy that some people like it though.

That price… LOL…

« According to Wikipedia’s list of Super NES games, a total of 1,738 Nintendo GameCube games were released during the console’s entire lifespan. »

GameCube?

(These emotional articles always attract a lot of clics, isn’t it? 😏😏)

Every time a « remaster » of a tales of is being released, online people keep on saying « it’s one of the best » so I buy it… and it’s almost always bland at best with boring stories. I guess I’m gonna pass this time 😏

OMG, I found the beta gameplay absolutely horrendous. And that bland music for a racing/brawler… And don’t even get me started on the completely ridiculous French voice… Hard pass. Ew.

Starmie is the new Birdo 💅🏼❤️👠

I’m so surprised to read such a good article like this in here. The online videogame community is not always known for its… open mindedness

And thanks for keeping the comments open, I’m sure it’s gonna be fine anyway.

Long live Starmie ! 👠

@jfp @progx eyeroll You both know exactly what I’m getting at. There’s no need for the disdain. Including an NPC companion will obviously mean giving players directions and hints on where to go or what to do next, Navi style.

Ugh… all this stuff to probably make the game more « family friendly » just to boost sales is so disappointing. I really hope it won’t ruin the atmosphere. I’m this close to cancelling my preorder… because games aren’t cheap anymore.

So many Nintendo fans are so used to the company’s anticonsumer behavior that they actually understand and justify these shady practices. Unbelievable.

I love my Switch 2 but deliberately messing with a USB-C port just to screw people over because Nintendo refuses to release (affordable) portable docks (which is mind-blowing considering the whole portable nature of the Switch) is pure BS.

Thanks for nothing, NINTENDON’T ❤️

Key card and, of course, no 3D effect… Guess I’ll keep playing on my 3DS version… not that it’s such a masterpiece anyway… imo 😏

« which is currently 50% off »

I can’t find it on the eshop

The game’s on sale on Xbox right now but I might regret buying it if they announce a Switch 2 version soon :/

« Xbox timed exclusive blabla lololol » when it is not really…

The game was released exactly one month ago on PC and Xbox and it will launch on Switch two months after the PC and Xbox versions, which share the same build since it’s a Play Anywhere title. That’s not really what you’d call a true timed exclusive, in the sense of the bad evil MS paying to keep it off the Switch for… two months… It’s just an indie game…

I was afraid they would just give us the ps4 pro rendering but I’m really happy it seems to run at 60fps ❤️

Do they REALLY need even more exclusives though?

They really should update game chat to allow at least 8 cameras because 4 feels like we’re back in 2001. They should also support full screen gaming with other players’ faces in floating bubbles on top of the running game instead of inside a huge and ugly border.

But ofc they won’t, because Nintendon’t 😏

I loved Frontier so much! The music, the map, the gameplay, the graphics… This is exactly what I want for the next 3D Sonic games 🥰

Imo, Superstars sucked a bit because of the input lag on Xbox, the tedious/excessive bosses and the soundtrack being composed by multiple people. While some tracks were great, others, especially the ones by the guy who made the awful Sonic 4 soundtrack, were terrible and out of place.

On the other hand, Nintendo used to sell handheld systems and home consoles separately. Two different audiences, even though many players owned both.

Since the release of the Switch, handheld and home console players are buying the same device which makes the sales figures look virtually larger. Still an impressive number though.

Nintendo will keep milking fans more and more and more until what? Their next Wii U style fiasco?

Is he going to be mute like the other guest characters and alt skins? It makes them feel cheap, like in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 1.

The price… lol. Don’t tell me they spent a AA level budget and time on a compilation of emulated games. I’ll just stick with the retro versions I already own on Saturn, N64 and Dreamcast (which, as you said, should have been included. The Dreamcast version got bad reviews back in the day because it didn’t use the system’s full potential and was directly compared to SoulCalibur but featured brand new exclusive stages and characters).

On Xbox (RIP) almost every upgrades were totally free. Same with Steam when you buy a new PC… Idk why Nintendo players are ok with this. Even 5 bucks is pure theft from such a big company for the time they spent on it.

Is the online mode still Dreamcast style or did they improve the way we can visit our friends islands?

OMG!! I love Shantae so much ❤️❤️❤️
I really hope Jake Kaufman returns for the soundtrack, because his music is such a huge part of the franchise’s identity. His absence in Seven Sirens is one of the reasons it’s probably my least favorite entry (though I still love it!).

Either way, this is very good news ❤️
