But some people in the comment section lack common sense: why should a game like this with regular content update get a physical version? That would be outdated day one. Especially for a game that is online only.
Funny. Because in Europe it’s that way since the S2 launch i thought it’s in all regions … and i think in the us physical should be 20 more than than digital. Or are there import taxes on digital?
@topsekret there are some videos out there explaining why some games don't work. The biggest culprit is a bad programming. if it were programmed correct without any tricks, it would work like all of the other games. if the translation layer would be faulty, a lot more games would not work. and that is not the case. if Nintendo tries to "fix" the translation layer for those few games the risk to cause problems for other games is there.
and btw. the translation layer is only the half truth of how the backwards compatibility works here. I would suggest to watch the video of MVG how it really works. Was a very interesting video.
@Simu001 did you really want to engage on this topic or do you just want to spread hate? All Nintendo games but one are running on switch 2. there is only a low percentage of third part games that don’t run properly.
Nintendo can’t fix their party games. They don’t have the code. And would be too big task with over 10.000 games.
If you had informed yourself you would have known how the backward compatibility works and why some games have issues.
I can’t see why this is worse for digital than physical? No (new) physical copies will be sold. Similar to digital. If you own the game you can still re download and play it.
Only the standard digital limitation: no second hand market applies here.
This looks really shiny. But I still didn’t finish the og version on switch. I wouldn’t mind starting all over. But I’m not interested in paying the full prize. So maybe on a sale

@OctolingKing13 I think this is just a preparing patch. My guess is, This feature will allow to players to play together indifferent of the player have the Switch 1 or 2 version
@OctolingKing13 why are you guessing this? All can play this on the S2 now. And the bug fixes were only for the S1 version. Even when it’s played on S2.
@Benri4761 your funny. You have never had a lesson in economy hm? I can raise my price with high demand. I should lower it with low demand. But the cost are always factored in the price. If not you would make losses and wouldn’t sustain long on the market. That’s very basic knowledge. Price is always a function of cost + tax + win.
@Zyph agree. Also I think if it were a pack in every switch unit would just cost 10 bucks more. No company will give you really something for free. Every pack in is calculated in the costs.

Re: Opinion: Pokémon Pokopia Is Nostalgia Done Right
Great article! Small nitpick: the bike road is in the west of Fuchsia (not Fuschia) city. And it’s also in the west in Pokopia.
Re: PSA: Switch 2 Update Adds Handheld Mode Boost, Here's How To Use It
I wanted this day one because it’s obviously the best solution for Switch games: TV resolution = Switch 2 Screen resolution.
But some commenter on NL said it’s not possible and would consume too much energy. So take this!
Happy handheld gaming!

@Pillowpants the missing controller is a bummer. But it’s „only“ 80€. I guess the extra 20 in $ is due to tariffs?

Re: Rumour: Another Claim Points To A Nintendo Direct Later This Month
@Thomystic if you do such a vague prediction it’s easy to be right.
And we got almost every year since the switch launch a September direct.
And he is also often wrong: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/189706-nintendo-switch/80956312?page=2
Even a beiken clock is right twice a day
Re: Rumour: Another Claim Points To A Nintendo Direct Later This Month
@1UP_MARIO I would be skeptical. Directs are rarely on Friday. Can’t remember if we had one. Tuesday, Thursday or Wednesday are more likely.
Re: Rumour: Another Claim Points To A Nintendo Direct Later This Month

Rumour that
Is it really worth to write an article about every dumb-fluencer who only says such things for attention?
Re: Fitness Boxing 2 To Be Removed From The eShop This November
@topsekret yes and no. The question is why is it worse outside of the standard difference between digital/physical?
Re: Fitness Boxing 2 To Be Removed From The eShop This November
I can’t see why this is worse for digital than physical? No (new) physical copies will be sold. Similar to digital. If you own the game you can still re download and play it.
