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
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
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
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)
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?
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
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
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
I only played a few levels of this but I really liked what I've played and will go back to it soon @awp69 was it about sensitivity? because by default the controls are a bit too sensitive but there is a sensitivity option so it's not a big deal
@MontyCircus there is no way they're gonna add Wii and 3DS games to NSO, those games aren't old or dated enough to be given away in a subscription service
I'm interested in Expelled! but I want to play Overboard! first, and in general I want to play the games that developer made, they all seem really cool
@caseyyy I'm pretty sure SFA3 Upper was never released outside of Japan so I think when they're saying "The English version has been built using the Japanese version's data as a base" that basically means "We translated the parts that were in Japanese"
I decided to do a 100% playthrough of Yoshi's Island because I've never done that before and just 2 worlds in I can confidently say I will never do it again
I also picked up Star of Providence which is just as amazing as it was back when it released in 2017 on Steam (it used to be called Monolith back then but they changed the title to avoid potential legal issues with WB), it's up there with both Spelunky games as one of my favorite roguelites of all time and one of my favorite games period
hopefully there is a cool spin-off made by someone other than Game Freak that interests me, I don't have any hopes about Legends Z-A being good after how badly Scarlet/Violet turned out but maybe they'll surprise me
"And will it be a cross-gen title for Switch and Switch 2?" That question can be answered pretty easily No Game Freak is notoriously slow when it comes to jumping to the new hardware, Pokemon Black and White released on DS the year the 3DS came out and their sequels came out only on DS a year after AND Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon came out on 3DS the year Switch came out, just because Z-A is coming out the same year as the Switch 2 doesn't mean it's gonna be cross-gen
I just don't get the love for the first Wario Land Even if I treat it as a Mario game with Wario as a protag I don't find it nearly as fun as Super Mario Land 2, it's slower, feels worse to control and the levels are kinda boring
i hope it's true, I have a copy of the original but my 2DS is dead so I can't replay it But where does he say that it'll just be an HD port similar to Luigi's Mansion 2 HD? I can't find him saying what kind of re-release it will be
anyone who is expecting Gamecube, Wii and 3DS games to be added to NSO is a fool, not only is it more lucrative for Nintendo to remaster/remake those games and charge $40/$60 for them but also those games aren't so old and dated that they can just be given away, especially Wii and 3DS games
DS games maybe could be added but I can't see them being very fun to play even with the Joy-Con mouse, I would know because emulating and playing DS games on PC that heavily use the touchscreen is not very fun, it feels clunky as hell
