@topher6490 Patapon 3 is very different from 1 and 2 as it's heavily based around multiplayer, it's fine solo but far from ideal, and given how they didn't add online multiplayer for the Paragates in Patapon 2 (even though it would make total sense) I can't imagine they would be able to implement it for a game that heavily relies on it to be fully enjoyable
@CurryPowderKeg79 that wasn't a Switch 2 Edition, you just got a discount for the Switch 2 version and that's why it only worked for the digital version, but in this case you can just download the upgrade pack and it will work with the physical version, every game that has Switch 2 Edition branding works like that
I really didn't like the game when I first tried it but I decided to give it another shot with this Switch 2 Edition and it grew on me quite a bit, I still like it the least out of the 3 cartoon-y racing games that came out this year (yes I like Mario Kart World much more, sue me) but it's a solid game and it may grow on me more as I play it, All-Stars Racing Transformed is still way better, that's a high bar that Sega will probably never clear unfortunately 60 FPS does help a lot, I'm not super picky when it comes to frame rate (with some exceptions) but this game didn't feel good at 30 FPS even when it was stable
@JaxonH only System Shock 2 remaster is on Switch, and System Shock 2 remake is just a rumor at the moment, nothing has been confirmed or even hinted at
this already runs at 60 FPS on Switch 2 so the only upgrade is the visuals, which is still great because the game is kinda blurry, even on Switch 1 in handheld it was kinda blurry
@Nep-Nep-Freak that's not really a good comparison because if Mario Kart World was never moved to Switch 2 then we would never get DLC for 8 Deluxe, better comparison would be the Wii U version of 8, which got DLC about 6 months after it released Not saying that DLC for World is happening soon but it's not as unlikely as you say it is
I bought the upgrade pack and I didn't get the Werehog DLC, is it only available for people who buy the whole Switch 2 Edition and not just the upgrade pack? If so then that's really stupid
I'm reading all these cons and thinking "yup, it's a follow up to TMNT Shredder's Revenge alright", these are all issues I had with Shredder's Revenge, none of them stopped me from really enjoying it (although I still would play SoR4, Fight'N Rage and Double Dragon Gaiden over it any day) but it is disappointing that this game didn't address any of that But I still really liked that game and I'm sure I like this one as well, I just don't expect it to beat out Absolum for me
I want to finish DQ2 in the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, and I also want to play Neon Inferno and finally play the full version of Absolum (I played the Steam demo and loved it, plus Streets of Rage 4 is my favorite beat'em up of all time so a new beat'em up from Guard Crush is a no-brainer for me) but realistically what's probably gonna happen is I'll just keep playing more of Kirby Air Riders
@Drnsnsr ok so when I was looking it up I couldn't find if there was an upgrade at all but I looked a bit more and I think I found an answer, there was and it was free for a limited time but then it became paid later on
It's real!!! They released it today, aside from upgraded resolution and frame rate there is also support for the camera and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls @FishyS there is an upgrade pack and it's $10
@Jedrus_Lilac Yeah, it's not like Nintendo released multiple free upgrades for their Switch 1 games, that didn't happen at all
For the record, this isn't me saying that you can't dislike the fact that a bunch of the upgrades they released are paid but saying that they didn't do any upgrades for free is just plainly wrong
Well, turns out I was wrong, I was fully expecting Rockstar to make people pay the full price again like they did with GTA V on PS5 and Xbox Series w/e but I'm glad that's not the case
I would say that I hope for an upgrade path if you already own the Switch 1 version but given how Rockstar didn't offer an upgrade path for GTA V on PS5 I don't think they'll do that for RDR
Heck yeah!!
I played this game when it was in Early Access on Steam and it was really fun, I prefer playing roguelikes on a handheld though so I'm happy it''s finally coming to Switch 2 (that's the version I'll be playing) and Switch
I don't get why people are saying that this should be included in the Switch 2 release, the game will be barely a year old when it launches on Switch 2 and if people on other platforms have to pay for this DLC then I don't see why Nintendo players should get it for free
They released a Switch 2 Edition of this game yesterday, it upgrades the resolution to 4K in docked mode and 1080p in handheld, and it adds Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, the upgrade pack costs $5
@OldGamer999 the Global Test Ride IS a demo, it lets you play the lessons and Air Ride mode offline, City Trial is the only mode that's online only in that demo, and it is available for download right now, at least in EU
Maybe I would get it on a sale if there was a Switch 2 version but I don't like the idea of playing beat'em ups at 30 FPS so I'll stick to Double Dragon Gaiden and Neon for my Double Dragon fix
I finished DQ1 and now I'm going through DQ2, unlike DQ3 where my first exposure to it was the HD-2D remake I actually did play DQ 1 and 2 beforehand (via the Switch ports of the mobile versions) so I can better appreciate all the additions and QoL improvements these remakes add DQ1 was fun and the new story beats are cool but I feel like the difficulty spike in the second half is a bit harsh and some spells should've been given to you a bit earlier than they are, still a good game though and it's my favorite version of the game by far I'm pretty early into DQ2 but I'm enjoying it, I remember the later parts of the game (in the Switch port of the mobile version at least) being kinda annoying so hopefully the remake improves those parts
@the_beaver I'm not sure if this is a serious question or not but the game came out in October, the first line of article even says that, plus why would there be an update to a game that isn't out yet?
@AmplifyMJ I remember reading something about how the situation is similar to the Switch 1 where indie devs also had trouble getting the dev kits for 6-7 months after launch, and that currently Nintendo is mainly giving Switch 2 dev kits to indie studios that need the extra power of Switch 2
I tried the demo and it runs horribly, it randomly drops to 20-25 FPS in performance mode (or lower if you dare to open a chest), hopefully they full version doesn't have that issue but this was an awful first impression
In the video you can clearly see they're using the "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" branding for the Switch 2 versions of Lorelei and Sayonara, so that pretty much confirms an upgrade path
Cool news, I wanted to play those game at some point so now I'll just wait for the Switch 2 Editions
I finished Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake a few days ago (great game, loved my time with it) so now I'm playing Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and I'm having a blast, I think I'm pretty close to finishing it so after that I'll probably start SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance so I can knock out both of the ninja action platformers from this year off my backlog I also been playing a bit of Powerwash Simulator 2 and it's just as fun and chill as the first game I also want to try out Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit, normally I wouldn't care about another AVGN game because I didn't really like AVGN Adventures 1 and 2 but this one was worked on by Programancer, the dev of Prison City, which is a fantastic game so anything he worked on immediately gets my attention
I started Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake recently, really enjoying it so far, hopefully I can finish it before I & II Remake comes out I also picked up BALL x PIT and been playing it in-between DQ3 sessions and it's a really fun time
@Solid_Python it's very possible that the Crossworlds team didn't get the Switch 2 devkit until after the Switch 2 version of Sonic X Shadow Generations was done, or at least that's my guess
it's a 7 for me, it would be an 8 if the camera in the monuments wasn't so atrocious, I was really hoping that this new version would fix that but for some reason they thought it was fine and didn't need changing and I don't get how
