@Antraxx777 Master Mode seems like a pretty low-cost way to significantly improve the game’s replayability if you ask me. Kind of wild we never got one
Reaching the Fallen Arm for the first time was definitely a memorable experience. Those precious few moments of Shulk and Fiora being reunited on the beach really stuck with me
@sanderev don’t get me wrong, I had low expectations for this patch and this met them. I just have a fundamental issue with how the game looks, regardless of style. If it were more polished, I could really appreciate the art style the game was going for, but the awful texture work, lighting, and world design took me out of the game. I guess I could see how someone could think of it as the best looking Pokemon game, but that’s not exactly doing the series any favours
@Bigmanfan considering how much time and money they’ve spent on it and the fact that Metroid isn’t guaranteed to sell millions of copies, I could see them having a $70 (switch) $80 (switch 2) price
Honestly switch graphics were already great artistically so taking that foundation and polishing it with this new system was the best way to go. The game looks amazing, even if it could’ve technically looked better as a ground up switch 2 game
@PikaPhantom I got so exciting before I realized it was the NES game… c’mon Nintendo, if you aren’t gonna make a new game at least put uprising on Nintendo music!
I already own intergrade on ps5 but I haven’t bought rebirth yet. If they bring it to switch 2 I might buy it there instead of PlayStation, assuming it runs well
The time from the initial reveal to the direct felt like a lifetime, but the time from the direct to now has flown by. Hopefully this next month goes by fast too (although there are still plenty of Switch 1 games I’m playing and will still be playing when switch 2 comes out)!
I played a good deal of the original but never finished it. But I can see what makes it such a classic. The visuals, story and music were all impeccable
Definitely won’t be buying one at launch, but if my old pro controller ever gets bricked it may be a nice upgrade. I don’t really care for the headphone jack or c button personally but they’re not bad additions
I’ll be keeping my switch 2 in my house for the first little bit after launch, so I’ll get a third party case later. I’ll also get an sd card when I need it. Other than that, I don’t care for any of the other accessories right now.

OH MY GOD IT’S HAPPENING OH MY GOD.
I was prepared to wait years for the next Splatoon game but we’re already getting one?? And it’s a story focused spinoff?? Am I dreaming????
Re: Best MicroSD Express Cards For Nintendo Switch 2
@jesse_dylan they do. Essentially every switch 1 game ran on a switch 2 gets improved load times, and more stable performance
Re: Fans Have Noticed Someone's Name Is Missing From Mario Kart World's Credits
Nintendo and not crediting people go together like peanut butter and jelly
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Sublime Sequel, Now Sublimer

Re: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Footage Shows 60fps Gameplay For Switch 2
It looks better for sure, but it’s still really unappealing visually. I really don’t have high expectations for Gen 10 in terms of graphical fidelity
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X Pops Up On Microsoft PC Game Page
Maybe I’m missing something, but if they were to port it, wouldn’t it be DE?
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed

Re: PowerA Reveals Its New Switch 2 Pro Controller Featuring Hall Effect Sticks

Can’t wait for NotSoos to see this lol
Re: Mario Kart World Was Originally In Development For Switch 1
Honestly switch graphics were already great artistically so taking that foundation and polishing it with this new system was the best way to go. The game looks amazing, even if it could’ve technically looked better as a ground up switch 2 game

Re: Nintendo Says AI-Generated Images "Were Not Used" In Mario Kart World
Am I the only one who thinks the billboards look fine? Like, they don’t look amazing, but they didn’t jump out to me as being AI art.
Re: Former Rockstar Dev Throws Shade At Mario Kart World, Says New GTA Will Be Worth The Price
Why does everything have to be a contest? Why can’t we just have two good games release without being compared to one another
Re: Final Fantasy VII 'Creator's Voice' Implies Rebirth May Also Come To Switch 2

Re: Reminder: Nintendo's Switch 2 Launches Worldwide Next Month
The time from the initial reveal to the direct felt like a lifetime, but the time from the direct to now has flown by. Hopefully this next month goes by fast too (although there are still plenty of Switch 1 games I’m playing and will still be playing when switch 2 comes out)!
Re: Accessory Manufacturer Genki Responds To Nintendo's Switch 2 Lawsuit
I mean, what did they expect to happen? They showed Nintendo’s next system early. That was never gonna end well.
Re: Rumour: Yuji Horii Might Have Let Slip Some Massive Remake News

Re: ICYMI: 12 Switch Games Will Receive Free Switch 2 Upgrades
@Jalex_64 I feel the same way about Pikmin 4. It didn’t get a free upgrade, and it never received dlc.
Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller
Definitely won’t be buying one at launch, but if my old pro controller ever gets bricked it may be a nice upgrade. I don’t really care for the headphone jack or c button personally but they’re not bad additions
Re: Poll: Which Switch 2 Accessories Are You Picking Up At Launch?
I’ll be keeping my switch 2 in my house for the first little bit after launch, so I’ll get a third party case later. I’ll also get an sd card when I need it. Other than that, I don’t care for any of the other accessories right now.
Re: Poll: After One Month, How Often Are You Actually Using 'Nintendo Today'?

No Yuniibos for us, I guess
Re: Bravely Default On Switch 2 May Have Removed One Of The Game's Best Features
This rerelease is such a massive fumble. Then again, this is the same company that couldn’t get kingdom hearts working on switch without cloud gaming.
