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

@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

it's out on the EU eShop now too

@topsekret @Riku3456 on that website there is an asterisk that says it's for Jamboree TV only, it's stupid but it is as advertised

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?

@Suketoudara How would a resolution increase on Switch 2 cause compatibility issues with Switch 1 players online? This makes zero sense

@Pak-Man @ElRoberico this doesn't have a Switch 2 upgrade path

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

@PKDuckman you can turn that off

@PlusFan September 26th, what does it have to do with Silksong though?

@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?

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
