so no changes to the camera inside the monuments? that was easily the worst part of the original game, it made navigating them incredibly frustrating so it's disappointing that there are seemingly no improvements made to it
@Suketoudara where? I've only seen that the website says that it'll be 1080p on Switch 1 and 4K on Switch 2 and the only mention of 120 FPS is in the generic asterisk talking about 4K and 120 FPS only working on compatible displays, which is something they put on pages of some games that don't even support 4K or 120 FPS
@Sambuc this is not made by Bamco, it's made by Koei Tecmo, idk what would be the point of a new Pirate Warriors game so it makes sense to just keep expanding this one imo
Can't wait for them to not celebrate Mario's 40th anniversary in any major way and for people to be disappointed even though Nintendo historically don't care about anniversaries as much as people think they do
And before anyone says "BUT THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2020 THOUGH!!!!" that was more of a freak occurrence because they didn't have much else going on that year so they had to do something, and two of the major announcements there (Mario 35 and 3D All-Stars) were games that I'd be surprised if they took more than a couple of months to put together (especially 3D All-Stars with how half-baked it was), and 3D World + Bowser's Fury announcement just felt like it happened to line up with the anniversary rather than Nintendo planning for it
The button remapping was sorely needed for the GBA app, now I can play Wario Land 4 much more comfortably, hopefully Game Boy and NES get button remapping soon
Was the resolution also a problem when playing on Switch 1? The review here made it seem like it was just a Switch 2 issue I'm hoping that they'll also update the resolution for the handheld mode on Switch 2
@Mgalens in the reveal trailer they showed that the boss of the forest world is an owl, if I had to guess then maybe they kept the old buzzsaw thing as a boss of the volcano world
I'm not seeing anything on the website about the 1080p support for the Switch 2's handheld mode, 60 FPS option is really nice though and I'll be sure to try it out
@Mgalens yeah I probably should've specified that I was talking about the original Pac-Man World 2 and you're right, it looks like they fixed my problem with the bosses repeating which I am happy about
apparently the PS5 version also has performance issues and I don't understand how, the game doesn't look like it'd be intensive on the hardware, heck I'd say the PS3 Hot Shots game looks better than this
Did Jamboree not run at 1080p on Switch 1 already? Or are they talking about handheld mode? This is so vague for no reason, would it kill them to explain this properly?
I recently played through the original game and it was very rough The unpolished mechanics, awful camera and cheap level design in the second half of the game really got on my nerves, not to mention the ridiculous 100% completion requirements and reused boss fights So quite frankly I don't really care how this remake looks and sounds compared to the original because as long as they polish the mechanics and camera significantly, make 100%ing the game a thousand times less annoying and redesign parts of the levels to be less cheap then I'll be happy And given everything I saw of this remake so far I'm sure that'll be the case, as well as how the remake of the first Pac-Man World also took a very rough game and made it much more playable and fun
@SirLink yeah but he directed the game and voiced some of the characters and I personally cannot stand his style of humor or the voice he puts on for the characters he voices
@Qwiff Are we talking about handheld mode? Because the game doesn't run at 1080p on Switch 2 in handheld, it's still 720p, there is no native Switch 2 version or any kind of Switch 2 patch
"- Removed ambient occlusion option due to performance concerns." Kind of a weird change tbh, I get that it may cause performance issues on Switch 1 but on Switch 2 it shouldn't be a problem, so why not just leave it in and have it be turned off by default and let people turn it on if they have a Switch 2?
I'm missing the Dream Buffet and Return to Dream Land Deluxe themes so I'll be sure to get them this weekend Still missing a bunch of other themes, really wish they'd let you unlock the older ones with tickets at this point
So that pretty much deconfirms the theory some people had that Nintendo split the release of this soundtrack into two parts because they wanted to add the music from Star-Crossed World
the article image didn't load for me for a few seconds for some reason (probably something with my internet) so at first I thought this was going to be about the Mega Man X games
it's nice that the upgrade pack is so cheap but it also makes me ask the same question that the Fantasy Life i Switch 2 upgrade pack price did, if it's gonna be so cheap then why not just make it free?
@Mgalens Bamco is weird with the Switch 2 upgrades too, Shadow Labyrinth got a free Switch 2 upgrade pack but the Little Nightmare games don't get anything, but then DBZ Sparking Zero gets a Switch 2 update that essentially turns it into a Switch 2 version but Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac doesn't get anything
Bamco is so weird with which games get a Switch 2 version and which don't Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac gets a Switch 2 version but this doesn't Dragon Ball Sparking Zero does but Once Upon a Katamari doesn't Little Nightmares III and Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition do but Everybody's Golf doesn't Make it make sense
that's a chunky file size but I'm still going digital for this one, racing games are something that I typically don't play in long sessions but rather sporadically in short bursts so having them digitally makes way more sense in my case

Re: Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac Looks Waka Waka Wonderful In New Gameplay Trailer
@Mgalens the japanese website says it'll have both quality and performance modes on Switch 1 but they both target 30 FPS

Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree Updated For Switch 2 And Switch (Version 2.2.0)
@Suketoudara How would a resolution increase on Switch 2 cause compatibility issues with Switch 1 players online? This makes zero sense
Re: Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac Looks Waka Waka Wonderful In New Gameplay Trailer

Is this game any good? I know that it's not funny because it's Justin Roiland but I wonder if it's worth playing with voices muted
Re: Another Switch Game Just Got A Free Switch 2 Upgrade - Includes Higher Frame Rate, Enhanced Resolution And More
@iLikeUrAttitude Sony stopped doing free PS5 upgrades for PS4 games years ago, and third party developers aren't that much better about doing that

Re: Tales Of Xillia Remastered Coming This October, Confirmed 30fps For Switch
Bamco is so weird with which games get a Switch 2 version and which don't
Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac gets a Switch 2 version but this doesn't
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero does but Once Upon a Katamari doesn't
Little Nightmares III and Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition do but Everybody's Golf doesn't
Make it make sense
Re: Official Box Art For Kirby Air Riders Revealed, Price And File Size Confirmed
