@AussieMcBucket yeah, the game definitely would’ve come out in 2023/2024 if there was no switch 2 version to worry about. They clearly poured a lot more effort into this than any of the other switch 2 editions (minus any additional content)
That…. Sure looks like a live action Zelda movie. Really nothing mind blowing here, but I still feel that slight feeling of excitement thinking about what could be in this movie. I want to watch Link solve puzzles in dungeons!
@PikminMarioKirby don’t forget the people who will complain about you complaining about people that are complaining about how people are complaining about the quality of this title!
@PerfectFrost this game doesn’t seem nearly as demanding as something like DK or Mario Kart. Heck, Animal Crossing on switch 1 looks 10x better than this
Please tell me this is like the limited releases from 2020, where Nintendo tries it once and never again. If I have to buy the next Zelda or Animal Crossing as either a GKC or from the eshop I’m gonna freak out
Getting a “first party game” as a game key card is making me super uneasy. I didn’t really care before since most physical games I buy are Nintendo published but now I’m really nervous.
“The good news is that Switch 2 boosts those numbers drastically across both games, putting us at 2560x1440 at peak, with drops to 1440x810 in absolute extreme cases - like entering the Ultrahand view mode through a busy forested area. It's worth noting that such low numbers like 810p are rare, but likelier in the more demanding sequel, while Breath of the Wild tends to veer closer to 1440p.”
The games max out at 1440p. They’re not native 4K. @PolitiClank is correct.
It’s funny because it causes the opposite effect for me. Fumbling through clunky building controls, annoying fetch quests and tedious new environments isn’t my idea of comforting. Glad he likes it though
@MARl0 at the very least there should be a performance and quality mode for those who prefer either. Not sure why Nintendo is so allergic to including this in anything that isn’t Metroid Prime 4. I should have the option to play Zelda at native 4K and 30fps
Guess I'm getting back into Animal Crossing! Thoughtful of Nintendo to post this before Halloween so returning players have something to look forward to
@Lizuka they probably spent even less money on this game than on Arceus so it should all work out in the end for them. Can’t imagine they’re super motivated to improve the games after this
@MoldyPasta I think Capcom could do the series justice if Monster Hunter Stories is any indication. Nintendo and Capcom have worked together in the past so it’s not impossible

Re: Mini Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch 1) - An Impressive Version If You've Yet To Upgrade

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Credits Reveal A Plethora Of Assist Devs, Including Next Level Games

Re: How Are You Finding Switch Game And App Compatibility On The Switch 2?
Still wild that a game as high profile as Automata is unsupported… guess I shouldn’t expect much from Squeenix

Re: Nintendo Announces 'My Mario' Yoshi App For Switch And Mobile Devices
GOTY dropping in two weeks
Jokes aside why are they releasing so many different apps? I feel like Nintendo Store + NSO app could be condensed
Re: Square Enix Aims To Automate 70% Of QA With Generative AI By 2027
Yes, because using robots to check if humans will like a game vs. using humans makes total sense
Re: Bandai Namco, Square Enix And Other Japanese Publishers Aren't Happy About OpenAI's Sora 2 Generative AI Tool
@Grim exactly. There’s enough amazing media that I’d still find plenty to enjoy. There will always be visionaries creating new ideas, however
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Nintendo's Cheapest Switch 2 Edition Yet
@stinky_t I guess they figure that by pricing it so cheap, most switch 2 owners will get the upgrade
Re: Nintendo Seems To Be Uploading Old Nintendo Power Covers To Nintendo Today!
They should put the full issues on Nintendo Today, it would be a cool piece of history

Re: Reminder: Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws Demo For Switch 2 Is Now Available
@Ramouz ah I see. I feel like that kind of demo has become a relic of the past… I still remember the sun and moon demo on 3DS with ash greninja.

Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Announces "New And Updated" Features For First Anniversary
