the improved resolution might actually be a bad thing here tbh because now you can better see just how garbage a lot of the assets look in this game

@Stormkyleis it's not completely unlocked, it's capped at 60 for both games

@Koda1000 in a developer interview when they were talking about backwards compatibility with Switch 1 games they said that certain games ran better on Switch 2 and by "certain" I'm sure they're talking about games that had frame rate issues and/or used dynamic resolution so those will most likely just hit their caps consistently, and in the direct they showed Yoshi's Crafted World loading twice as fast on Switch 2 vs Switch 1 and that game isn't getting any sort of upgrade so that just confirms that all Switch 1 games will load faster on Switch 2
These updates just seem like they're boosting resolution and frame rate beyond the caps these games had, they're saying that ARMS will run smoother "even when playing with 3 or more players" so that to me says that it won't drop to 30 FPS anymore no matter the number of players in split-screen multiplayer

dang it, I was hoping Captain Toad would get mouse controls, it would make playing in docked mode better because you wouldn't have to deal with gyro cursor drifting and having to reset it every 5 minutes
also it's weird that NSMBU is not getting GameShare support, I thought that's what this update was gonna add but it's just getting visual upgrade which it doesn't need nor does it help with how ugly NSMB artstyle is

it's my primary game system so I'm still playing it but I'm trying to avoid any big game purchases and just sticking to the games I already have for it, the only game coming out soon that I want to pick up is Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo which I played the demo of and really liked so that will be my final game for Switch 1

@robotreptile it will load faster on Switch 2 regardless, in the direct they showed Yoshi's Crafted World loading twice as fast on Switch 2 compared to Switch 1 and that game isn't getting a Switch 2 Edition or even a free update

I haven't played this game (or any Pikmin game for that matter) but some of my friends who did say that they were teasing some sort of snowy area in the marketing and then the game didn't have it so maybe that could be added for the Switch 2 Edition
I do think there will be more Switch 2 Editions later on and Pikmin 4 is a good candidate for that, Mario Maker 2 I'm not sure, I think Mario Maker 3 is a lot more likely

since they're adding a bunch of regular enemies I want to see Broozer

I really, really hate Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, yeah yeah "they're the first few games in the series, they were trying things out and deserve some respect" yada yada, I've heard many times before and quite frankly I don't care
These games just do not hold up at all, they both control terribly, the collision and physics are jank as hell and most of the tracks are not good, the N64 Rainbow Road deserves a special mention for being quite possibly the most boring track in the series
It is so long with only two Chain Chomps to keep you from falling asleep and the whole track has guardrails so there is no challenge in it which is pathetic for the last track of the game and for a track archetype that is known for being difficult, the only thing that are good about it are the visuals and the music but those can't save it, thank god for the Mario Kart 8 remake making something good out of it because the original is quite easily the worst Rainbow Road imo
It might be a hot take but Super Circuit is the most bearable of these 3, while I don't like it all that much I think it controls better than SMK, they toned down the CPU cheating (another reason SMK and 64 are so miserable to play) and it has some fun and original track ideas

@jon128 they did invites

@Zeebor15 Jeff was a boss in the arcade version of the first Double Dragon in the second level, Abore was a boss in the arcade version of Double Dragon 2 in the second level, he also was a regular enemy in later levels of that game

@RudyC3 "...if it's not gonna cost you anything, why do you have to ask if you should do it, just do it!"
That's assuming that they're not going to do just do it anyway and this is just a way to drum up attention, plus I'd like to think that they know that people wouldn't like it if they charged for something that was free for PlayStation and Xbox users
"And by the way PS5 upgrades of PS4 games were not always free. "
Yeah but I'm not talking about them in general, I'm talking about this game specifically

@RudyC3 where does it say anything about this being paid? if it's anything like the update Xbox Series X and PS5 got then it'd be free

on the Nintendo website it says that the Switch 2 upgrade is free

@speed_loafer the original 1-2-Switch is $50, the sequel is $30

oh that's awesome, really liked what I've played of this one but it's been a bit since I've played it, I'm very interested in going back to play this some more once this update and DLC drop on Switch

the demo was really fun so I'll definitely pick this up

My PC is not good enough to run this game and I don't have other consoles so I'm excited to finally try it out when it comes out on Switch 2

I know they won't but I wish they'd fix the mastering for the DKC soundtracks

@pikachupikachup Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 was also $40 at launch
Not saying $40 for this is justified but that price point is nothing new for these games

Makes sense, you're getting a bunch of new content with these
I'm definitely getting the Kirby upgrade, really looking forward to the new stuff it has, plus it'll be very nice to replay the main game at 60 FPS

@DashKappei Sid Meier's Civilization VII

@Expa0 if they want to they can add both Genma content and Hell Mode, why are you saying this like it has to be one over the other?

I do agree that this being paid is dumb but why do people call it a tutorial or manual for the console?
From everything I saw about this it looks more like a collection of fun facts about how the console works under the hood that only tech nerds would care about

I would love to see Bomberman Generation, one of the most unique games in the series with a really good single-player mode and fun multiplayer, more people need to give it a shot

I played through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition on my PC recently and I absolutely hated it so now I'll probably replay Aria of Sorrow or one of the DS-Vanias as a palate cleanser, I'll also be trying to make some progress in La-Mulana, from what people who played it told me I did about 70% of the game so I'm hoping I can get it done by the end of the month

If it doesn't have the hilarious jank of the original then I don't want it!!!

oh cool, I was interested in this game as I really enjoyed My Friend Pedro, will try out the demo soon

I tried the demo and it seems like a good game but yeah, the performance isn't great, maybe if there is a Switch 2 upgrade or something I'll hop on it

that's neat, I'll still be sticking to using the Pro Controller though until either Nintendo or a third-party accessory manufacturer makes a mouse shell for the Joy-Con so the mouse mode is more comfortable to use

idc EA, where is Peggle 2?

While it is dumb that this is paid let's be real here, it's not a new kind of dumb for Nintendo, need I remind you that they sold 1-2-Switch separately for $50 even though that also should've been a pack-in (it wouldn't be a good pack-in but it would've been better than being a separate $50 purchase)

I got my invite yesterday, grabbed the Mario Kart World bundle plus the Gamecube Controller

Oh wow, somehow I completely missed that this will be a launch title, that's awesome to hear
But that makes me wonder if there are any other launch titles I missed, is there an infographic somewhere?

ok Nintendo look, you can force pants on DK all you want but I'm not gonna be sucked into your pants propaganda

the more I see this design the more I like it and I already really liked it from the start, I think it looks far better than Rare's design which I was never a fan of

@Liam_Doolan and Fast Fusion as well!!

@fenlix on the game's website it says that it has 4-player local multiplayer

hopefully it has a better d-pad

yeah I'll believe it when I see it

The wait for Switch 2 has rotted brains of some people so much that some even thought that the mediocre looking Pokemon Legends Z-A was shown running on Switch 2, if they were showing a game running on Switch 2 then Nintendo would tell us

it's confirmed, Switch 2 will have games

@themightyant so that more realistic racing games don't suck to play on Switch 2, it wouldn't be ideal but at least it'd be something

I'm hoping that at least the Pro Controller will have analog triggers, if they're insistent on not having them on the Joy-Con then at least put them on the Pro Controller

I picked up Rift of the NecroDancer and I'm having a lot of fun but I'm also really bad at it, I also started playing through La-Mulana and some of the puzzles are driving me insane but weirdly enough I'm not getting frustrated with it

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity really needs it imo, I have more issues with that game than just the performance and resolution but if they improve those then it would be a lot more enjoyable for me
But for the game I want to see enhanced on Switch 2 is Kirby and the Forgotten Land, it already looks and runs really good on Switch but seeing it run at 60 FPS with enemies that move at more than 10 FPS in the background would be amazing

@Liam_Doolan the release date for Fantasy Life is listed as 21st March instead of 21st May

@Anti-Matter no, this is a brand new entry

ok guys I think I figured it out
it stands for colonoscopy
