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
Most of the music in this game just isn't hitting for me, even the Tee Lopes stuff, the only song I liked so far is the remix of Green Cave from the first Sonic Riders
It's a shame because for all of it's faults Team Sonic Racing really nailed the soundtrack imo and I was hoping for the same with this game but it seems like that won't be the case
Idk if I will get this, I like a good shoot'em up but I tried a few R-Type games (1, 2, Super, 3 and Final 2) and none of them clicked with me I love a good low poly PS1 aesthetic though so that might be enough to make me try it out, probably on Steam though just so I can refund it in case I happen to dislike it
I won't say no to new characters but I think the roster is good as is now and I would like them to add some more stages, heck I would gladly pay for them given how much they already added to this game for free
But like I said, I'll gladly take a few new characters and apparently they'll be adding 4 more before the end of the year so I'll be looking forward to that
The announcement of Well Dweller from the Crypt Custodian developer (which is a game I really liked) made me want to play through the other games from that developer that I haven't yet. Going through Sheepo right and it's pretty neat so far, I heard that it's short so I might be able to finish it today and start Islets. I've also been playing a bunch of UFO 50, I had it on Steam and played it a decent bit but it always felt like it would work better as a handheld game so now that I have it on my Switch 2 I'm definitely going to be playing it a lot more
@Ellie-Moo even on Switch 2 it doesn't feel good and it's all because they still haven't fixed the scrolling updating at a lower rate than it should, so the whole game just feels jittery despite the frame rate being 60
too bad this update also broke the colors and pallets in the game, on both Switch 1 and 2, and they still didn't fix the scrolling not updating at 60 FPS
man this port is a disaster
I thought it was decent, typical Partner Showcase
Couple of games I'm really interested in and the rest that aren't for me, that's how it is with every showcase of only third party stuff so I'm not sure what makes this one so much worse than the previous ones
"Plus, if you already own Yakuza Kiwami on Switch, you'll be able to upgrade to the Switch 2 version at a discounted price." Where does this info come from?
@Serpenterror it's not Nintendo's fault that 3rd party devs are cheap, if key cards didn't exist then they would just do codes in boxes or use the smallest cartridges and have big mandatory downloads anyway
@Yalloo I think you meant to say AoC at the end there instead of DE and idk, if it gets a Switch 2 update that lets it run at 60 fps then I might give it another shot but otherwise I'll just stick to Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition
I really hope I'll like this game better than Age of Calamity, I can't put my finger on why but that game to me felt worse to play than the original Hyrule Warriors and it wasn't just because of the performance, so hopefully Age of Imprisonment fixes that issue I had
@Bunkerneath regular Nintendo Directs are announced a day before, so if there was one on Thursday (either this or next week) then it would be announced on Wednesday
@Aventurier those lists haven't been updated since june 5th, there are multiple games on there that have since been made compatible but are still listed as not working, so it's not an accurate source of info for that

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

@gcunit I already have those

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
