This game was kind of a mixed bag for me. For every fun chapter there was one that was super tedious and dragged on, with very little story development. With that said, I loved the characters, combat, story and music, so overall I’d consider it a pretty decent game.
@AllBLK there’s a difference in not caring about hardware, and acknowledging that visuals/performance are important but still enjoying the game regardless
@Alcea it’s not ‘fine’, but as I said earlier, it’s still better than the alternative of codes in boxes and eshop only releases, since they can easily be resold. I do think making sure more cartridge options are available should be a major priority for Nintendo, considering how this is impacting nearly every third party release
@LazyDaisy I think I heard somewhere that there are two sub teams working on fire emblem, with team 1 working on three houses and fortunes weave, and team 2 working on engage. Might explain why the two former games don’t look as great but engage looks pretty good
@Suketoudara if true that’s pretty understandable, although I would argue if you’re charging for an upgrade it isn’t out of the realm of possibility to modify assets to ensure switch 1 parity and higher resolutions
I never played forgotten land and don’t plan to anytime soon. 3D platformers that aren’t open collectathons aren’t my personal cup of tea… but I can’t deny this is an immensely high quality product with lots of love behind it

Looks cool, imagine if Nintendo made a game like this

I’ve NieRly reached my limit

Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
@Shepdawg1 agreed. If this is the only way these games are going to get on switch, I’d rather this than a code in a box/digital only release
Re: Surprise! A New "Free-To-Start" Fire Emblem Game Is Out On Mobile Devices Today
Fire emblem among us?? Hello????
Re: Round Up: The Latest Previews Are In For Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Don’t worry guys, the $30 dlc will fix the game (definitely)

Why didn’t they just put the whole ost…
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush (Switch 2) - DLC That's Ripe With Fun, But Could've Been More
DK Bananza is one of my favourite games from the past few years, but there’s no way I’m buying this (unless it ever gets heavily discounted)
Re: Random: 'Days Of Our Lives' Character Gets Lucky By Name-Dropping Xenoblade
Wow, this really is a work of fiction
Re: Everybody's Golf Hot Shots Update Improves Performance On Switch 2
@Haruki_NLI don’t forget Elden Ring (yes I know the games are developed by Fromsoft but it’s still a poor look for them)

Re: Nintendo Direct September 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
@EvenStephen7 at least Fire Emblem looked great (even if the environments were a bit rough… ok I see what you’re saying about the monkey’s paw lol)
Re: It's Official, The Mario Movie Sequel Is Based On Mario Galaxy
Hopefully this means the story won’t be as generic this time. And hopefully Jack Black will sing again!
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Has Been Officially Confirmed For Switch 2
A simultaneous launch on all consoles including switch 2 is a nice surprise
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Looks Like An Adorable Mix Of Minecraft And Animal Crossing
Is it bad that I’d rather play this than Legends Z-A?
Re: The Entire Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy Is Making Its Way To Switch 2
I’ll definitely be playing Rebirth on switch 2 (assuming it runs well)
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Patch Adds 60fps Mode, But There's A Catch
So basically, the way to make a makeshift switch 2 edition without dev kits is to add an uncapped framerate option

Re: The Switch eShop And Steam Are Buckling Under The Weight Of Silksong
@IronMan30 because that’s where most people are buying the game?
Re: 007 First Light Is More That Just Spies And Style, Launches March 2026 On Switch 2
$80 are here to stay
Edit: turns out it’s only $80 for the deluxe edition, my bad
Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree Updated For Switch 2 And Switch (Version 2.2.0)
@Suketoudara if true that’s pretty understandable, although I would argue if you’re charging for an upgrade it isn’t out of the realm of possibility to modify assets to ensure switch 1 parity and higher resolutions
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics' Devs Had To Lean On Fans To Recover Original Source Code
By trying to act like they support fan games and preservation, they inadvertently outed themselves as not giving a hoot about their old games
Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree Updated For Switch 2 And Switch (Version 2.2.0)
@Suketoudara that idea is weird to me, considering that Splatoon 3 has higher resolutions on switch 2 but still has full parity with switch 1
Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree Updated For Switch 2 And Switch (Version 2.2.0)
I’m confused. Didn’t the original game run at 1080p? What is this changing
Re: More Switch Games Have Received Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
@DM7Dust I haven’t experienced any issues but I’ve only played a few hours, apparently there are some progression-stopping crashes

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give 'Kirby & The Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World'?
I never played forgotten land and don’t plan to anytime soon. 3D platformers that aren’t open collectathons aren’t my personal cup of tea… but I can’t deny this is an immensely high quality product with lots of love behind it
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give 'Kirby & The Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World'?
@ParrakerriRush you forgot the ‘0.2 Final Chapter Prologue’ part
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Gets A Launch Date On Switch 2, Full Physical Release Confirmed
A discount for already owning Yooka-Laylee is such a pro consumer move. If only other companies could do the same for their remasters and remakes
Re: CD Projekt Reveals 75% Of Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Sales Were Physical In Opening Month
Proof that key cards negatively impact sales
Re: Review: Kirby And The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World - Kirby's Best Shines Even Brighter
I never played Forgotten Land but the game seemed liked a great time. Glad to see that this switch 2 edition delivers (unlike Mario Party)…
Re: "We Are Not Delaying" - Dark Deity 2 Dev Stands Firm Against Silksong

Re: Developers Reportedly Still Struggling To Get Switch 2 Dev Kits
That’s unfortunate. There’s so many switch games I would love to get upgrades for but won’t for a while

Re: Hollow Knight Has Now Sold Almost 15 Million Copies
I knew the game was successful but that’s just insane. Explains how they were able to afford so much dev time
