Well… I went back to MK8 because Mario Kart World is giving me overpriced bland game energy. Those forced rides on straight soulless lanes… Ew…

I’ll just enjoy MK8 while I still can… before Nintendo shuts the servers down to push us into Mario Kart World and nothing else. The same way they refuse to let us choose to play looped tracks online…

@StewdaMegaManNerd The pleasure’s all mine. And for the record, only the very first unanswered question was actually aimed at you, not the whole (and very accurate) rant.

@StewdaMegaManNerd You didn’t play MPR, right?

F U Nintendo. Seriously. They just keep MILKING us more and more AND MORE just to see HOW FAR they can push it. It’s insane. I wouldn’t even mind that much if it were a pricy first party Xbox or PlayStation port because at least those actually get cheaper over time. But Nintendo We ALL KNOW their first party games almost NEVER get discounted and when they finally do for a limited time, it’s at an almost insulting, downright ridiculous discount.

Pathetic.

So gaming is gonna be stuck in an eternal loop with remake of remastered of reimaginated of remixed games? Wtf.

They used to crank out amazing scenarios with genuinely fun gameplay for a whole decade and now suddenly nobody’s talented enough to craft fresh, enjoyable stories? Sure, they still release new JRPGs, but they’re nowhere near the same pace or quality as the classics, both story wise and gameplay wise imo.

It looked gorgeous on Xbox Series X but the Switch 1 version on Switch 2 looked surprisingly good (30fps and a bit blurry though). Can’t wait for the Switch 2 upgrade.

Nintendo being pathetic as hell as usual… I cannot stand them but of course they’ve got me hooked because their games and consoles are absolute fire… Ugh…

Aspyr should have been in charge of this "remaster". What they did with Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver is mindblowing! They’re so good at enhancing old 3D games while modernizing them without betraying their original aesthetic.

Panzer Dragoon Zwei and Panzer Dragoon Orta are my favorite rail shooters of all time (and Orta is jaw dropping at 4K, 60fps and Auto HDR on Xbox Series X).

@Medic_alert When Sony fans and Sony itself turned this into a full on trend, claiming the base Xbox One was trash just because the base PS4 had slightly higher pixel count. That’s where the whole thing really kicked off.

I honestly didn’t think I would enjoy it this much! After being let down by Mario Kart World, this one actually has a real shot at becoming my next main kart racer. It’s polished, you can tell there’s way more budget behind it than the rather bad Team Sonic Racing and it seems to capture what made Transformed so damn good.

I tested it on both Switch (2) and Xbox Series X. Surprisingly, it runs and looks great for a Switch 1 game! The Series X version is stunning but I’ll stick with the Switch version for now and just grab the Switch 2 upgrade patch in a few months.

I cannot wait for Ulala to sashay her way into the roster with a couple of tracks.

Another LRG release skipping Xbox. Hopefully I have a Switch 2… It’s just an emulator running an iso with some tweaks…

Thank u Nintendo for being so good and pro consumer with your fans 🥰

Yeah, that’s why we couldn’t have Dead or Alive 2, 3 and 4 backward compatible on Xbox One and Series for so many years, until Tecmo / Team Ninja renewed their contract with Aerosmith (or whichever label). All because of one Aerosmith song in the intro and the main ending of DOA4 (iirc).

A fighting game running at 30 fps? LOL! What is this, 1989? Seriously…

That said, the game runs at 1080p 60fps on Xbox Series S… so it’s either a VERY lazy port or the Switch 2 is further from the Xbox Series S specs than expected.

Well… I’m gonna buy the Xbox version then… discounted.

I played the remasters of Vesperia and Graces F since they’re supposed to be among the best in the franchise…
Story wise, it was a total snooze fest. The gameplay was just a repetitive hot mess. So now I’m side-eyeing this next port real hard… 😒

@kal_el_07241 Every Xbox Series X game is also available on Xbox Series S. Keep in mind that, in the case of the Switch 2, people often use Street Fighter 6 as an example of how well it can run games compared to the Series S but it’s a notoriously bad port on the S and Capcom never bothered to fix it, even though it should run much better considering the raw power of the system.

Considering how beautiful the game is on Xbox Series S, it would probably be possible by lowering the resolution (dynamic 1440p ~ 1080p on Xbox Series S) to something like 720p and some resolution boost using DLSS in the style of Fast Fusion?

@progx as a consumer who has owned all the major systems for decades, overall, Nintendo has generally been the least consumer friendly imo. But I won’t argue on a Nintendo fans website.

Certainly not great for us… We know how Nintendo is when they’re the underdog versus when they’re on top… two completely different companies in terms of how they treat their consumers. Ugh…

OMG that featured image really looks like a RuPaul’s Drag Race x LEGO collab at first glance. They totally look like Michelle Visage and RuPaul in their latest All Stars look standing in front of the judges’ panel background haha!

Kinda disappointed now, not gonna lie

I wish there was a texture filtering option to make it look like the N64 edition which I still love 🥰

The price is a bit surprising considering that Doom 1 & 2 were sold together for 9,99 bucks and run on the same engine.

That’s great news, although it’s unfortunate that the physical editions didn’t come with these additions from the start. Same for VS mode and 2x resolution.

I love this collection so much. Filters are for once pretty good considering that most of these games were natively 480p and not 480i or 240p. The Saturn version of Street Fighter Zero 3 remains still a bit more reactive imo.

And yet, tons of us hate them but still support them. In the gaming community, Microsoft is always seen as the big bad evil among the big three, but seriously… take a good look at Nintendo (and not just when it comes to this topic).

I hate them for having so many good games.

They suxx.

@Talkshowhost that’s supposed to be the best feature of the game! What the hell…

On Xbox, you buy one damn game, even a physical copy and boom, you get Xbox Ones and Series versions like it’s no big deal. Four (three on physical) freaking versions in one go. Why is it so hard to just do the same on Switch 2?

Well… We all know why. Microsoft’s the underdog, they have to be nice. Nintendo? They’re riding high and couldn’t care less about their consumers. And Square? Please. No pressure from Nintendo, no motivation, just vibes and cash grabs.

So yeah, I’ll grab the physical Switch 1 version when it’s like 25 bucks and pretend I’m not being robbed in broad daylight for a mobile game port.

Why is it so hard to know if an upgrade will be possible? This is BS. Microsoft handles upgrades so much better and for free!

Thx Nintendo for being such a pro consumer company ❤️

@Xansies I don’t even see them becoming Steam rivals since they release all their games on Steam too and Steam’s monopoly is almost untouchable anyway imo.

@Questionable_Duck Yeah this is great and really surprising news, considering that sony’s strategy has always been to lock everything away from competitors. But I won’t hold my breath until I see at least a AA or AAA first party title released on Xbox.

I think they’d be more likely to release games on the Switch 2 (which they actually have…) since they seem to consider Xbox their direct competitor more than Nintendo… allegedly.

@JohnnyMind yeah, this one of the reason why I’m getting pissed by Xbox now… and the fact that their strategy is a mess.

@Chimichanga Everybody knows that Xbox is often ignored by developers, especially japanese ones… and judging by some of the comments here suggesting they should axe the Xbox version instead of Switch (2), it’s more than just common knowledge, it’s being openly encouraged in the gaming community.

@JohnnyMind Microsoft is now releasing its first party titles everywhere. You can bet sony would never do that after acquiring studios. They’ve been buying up studios for 30 years and everything has remained locked to PS. MS just caught up by acquiring a bunch all at once.

Nobody seems to connect the dots between Sony buying EVO and their intention to prevent the fighting game community from returning to Xbox (well it won’t happen anyway now…) which is exactly what happened right after the Xbox 360 era before sony’s Street Fighter V deal shifted everything.

Owning EVO helps them solidify PlayStation as the official platform for competitive fighting games. Now, with increased influence over Namco (a big fighting game dev), they’ll likely gain even more influence through parity deals that prevent other systems (including the very popular Switch 2) from having better input lag, higher resolution, improved performance or exclusive features. They’ve done this before, like with Tekken 7 where a deal reportedly blocked an Xbox One X update.

Now you all have a little taste of what it feels like to be an Xbox player… Not so pleasant, is it? 😏

@KayFiOS Are you implying that a 25-year-old guy doing it would be more acceptable? Ageism much?

Now do Borderlands 3 next!

Otherwise they will brick your Switch 2.

Great news! I might buy it then!

Why can’t they just do it like Xbox and the Smart Delivery? This is total BS.

I didn’t buy two of the games on the list simply because they were keycard versions. I either buy full-price physical copies or (very) discounted digital ones.

I’ll wait until Bravely Default is like 15$ digitally… even though I would’ve paid 50$ for a proper physical version with the full remaster datas on it…

Three frames of added input delay is huge for a game like SC2. I’m surprised it wasn’t taken into account during testing it on the Switch 2 here last month.

It clearly makes it the worst version to play SoulCalibur II.

WOW!!!! Such a HUGE discount for old games! This is too kind!! We don’t deserve this! Thx Nintendo…

It shouldn’t be 20$ less but… costing 20 bucks… That’s what I hate the most about Nintendo.

@RasandeRose The first year of the Xbox One was actually pretty solid, with strong exclusives like Killer Instinct (still one of my favorite fighters), Sunset Overdrive, Titanfall, Dead Rising 3 (my fav in the series), Forza Horizon 2 and the Halo 2 remaster in The Master Chief Collection.

A bit later, in 2016, Quantum Break came out, one of the most underrated games of the gen imo. The story was fascinating and critics didn’t give it enough credit.

Back then, people were obsessed with “Xbox One suxx can’t even do 1080p lol lol” while now nobody cares about resolution anymore. What a dumb generation that was…

People want Xbox games now? I thought that nobody liked it 😏

Nintendo won’t care. They don’t give a sh about what fans want or need anyway hahah…

The remasters of both Sonic Aventure games are available on Xbox Series X and PC. SA1 isn’t even widescreen though, it’s a shame. I still play them like once a year even if it didn’t age incredibly well.

As for an NSO port, the added input lag would make it a terrible experience to play a Sonic game.

This port is honestly terrible. Pixel shimmering everywhere, the font looks awful without integer scaling, battle backgrounds are blurred and AI-upscaled, scanlines are wrong…

People are going crazy because they can finally afford a physical copy after almost 3 decades but this is clearly a rushed port, and the data on the cartridge will forever be a downgraded experience. I resold my copy.

The best version is probably still the translated Japanese Saturn edition.

Another physical release skipping Xbox… sigh

You know how Nintendo loves to listen and respect its fans………….. 🌝

I still wonder how u could give a good score to SoulCalibur 2 NSO without even talking about the input lag issue.

The HDR is fake and the screen’s response time is too slow for proper 120fps gaming… the blur ruins it. But then again, Nintendo fans aren’t exactly known for being picky about technical specs… or to complain about getting screwed by N 😏

I love my Switch 2 though (and nobody cares about my opinion anyway. Nobody reads messages lost in tons of replies 😏)

Sonic CD isn’t even in the list… LOL

I played Sonic Frontier on Xbox One X and it was phenomenal with tons of great idea. One of my fav modern Sonic.
