@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.
Another splatfest in last place… oh well. I seem to have a knack for choosing the worst team. Even if I didn’t play this one too much, I’m so glad they’re still giving us new splatfests! Hopefully we keep getting new seasonal fests until Splatoon 4
Not really much to say here, of course he’s going to talk up the upcoming games if he works at Nintendo. Only time will tell if they live up to the hype (and the price tag).
@KritterXD I didn’t even think about that. Honestly it would make sense if Monolith helped with the MK World map, since I’m sure Nintendo trusts them with open world development after everything they’ve done

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

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: 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: 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.
