@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?

@ElRoberico I meant counting this Shovel Knight DLC the Switch version is 3 DLC's behind, the other two are Monstercat and Everhood collabs

Rift of the NecroDancer is now 3 DLC's behind the Steam version, why is it taking them so long to release these on Switch?

@FishyS so far every game that had the "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" branding has an upgrade path so I don't see why this one wouldn't

the upgrade pack is $5
also, there is no mention of an improved frame rate so I don't know why the article says that

@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

@Rizla probably like how DQ3 remake did before the Switch 2 patch, so locked 30 FPS but pretty blurry

@IronMan30 more like people want to play a Monster Hunter game that has actual HUNTING in it and isn't just a boss rush game

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 the full version doesn't have that issue but this was an awful first impression

@Gavintendo there is a Switch 2 logo at the end of the trailer

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

Hopefully this turns out better on Switch 2 than the awful Switch 1 version of Art of Rally

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

@Pillowpants co-op is online only

@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

@Yosti it should be on every eshop page, it's below the "Details" part

@Yosti yes, it says so on the eshop page
@Haruki_NLI yes, they confirmed mouse controls in the Switch 2 version here (skip to 14:08) https://youtu.be/4R1mNnbP6U8?si=G8aASJnQCSZrrY7C

@Pillowpants this is not a new game, it's an HD version of the PS1 entry

LET'S GOOOOO

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

@KeeperBvK surprisingly he wasn't fired, he left

@Smithicus it didn't when the article was published

I've seen a few websites report that it is coming to Switch 2 but in early 2026, but I can't find any source of that so idk what's going on

@RudyC3 it wasn't 60 FPS on PS4, all console versions of the original ran at 30

good to hear there is more variety in the sequel, I liked the original Hades but I bounced off it quickly after I got all of the story because there just wasn't enough variation in the gameplay, which is a fatal flaw for a roguelike in my eyes

@Wewewi what the hell are you even on about?

this info was on the japanese website since the announcement, how are people finding out about this just now?

@datamonkey it's listed in the part of the article that lists new features of this version dude

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

@KoopaTheGamer if this was a Switch 2 Edition they could, but it's not

@RupeeClock how would that even work? eShop can't detect if you have a physical version or not

@canaryfarmer the control options are added as a free update to all versions, not just ultimate edition

@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

@Suketoudara there is no 120 FPS mode for these

@Not_Soos there is no track called Sky Station Galaxy 2

@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

@BoFiS good news. there is a Switch 2 version coming out at the same time as the other ones, it's listed on the NA eShop

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

this is a threat

Steam is also having issues, wonder how things are on PSN

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 the japanese website says it'll have both quality and performance modes on Switch 1 but they both target 30 FPS

@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

not a fan of how the 3D elements can block your vision but it seems fine otherwise, might try it out whenever it comes out

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
