@HIGHscores85 Don't waste your breath, Nintendo fans with that mentality usually think anything not developed or published by Nintendo is eSlop.

@LinktotheFuture Yep he's the owner! I'm pretty sure he was the OG owner of WiiWareWorld before it merged with another site and became Nintendo Life, but you'd have to ask @Antdickens since I've only been around since 2010 or so after the sites merged so I only have second-hand knowledge of WiiWareWorld and the merger.

@Antdickens says hi! @LinktotheFuture 😉

@Dimjimmer Ubisfot?

@Aki77 Saying something should be moved on from rather than be criticized by fans because it's not a necessity is definitely an authoritarian-adjescent viewpoint. There's a reason why dictatorships ban creativity and entertainment, and this is a slippery slope in that direction to take a stance like that.

P.S. I'm NOT saying anything negative about you, I'm just stressing the dangers of that kind of mindset.

@Shepdawg1 This is data manipulation as most Switch 2 games don't have a true physical release, and while GKC's royally suck, they still have advantages over all digital...

@Liam_Doolan How does the transfer of Pokemon in FR/LG to later games work for certain stats not used in FR/LG such as personality traits? Is it random or is there a way to tell what traits it'll inherit during the transfer for mons that have multiple possible personality traits?

Edit: Wait did they add Gen 3 traits in FR/LG? I'm now second-guessing myself lol. 😅

How about an "ACTUAL" expanded edition on PS5 for those of us who pre-ordered CS2 only for it to be straight-up canned on console?

Sorry still a bit salty, but I am glad that those of you who have Switch 2 can now enjoy CS1 with all of its currently released DLC.

@Zeeba Bot account detected lol. 🤪

Edit: In case it wasn't obvious...I'm just joking lol. 😅

@Dom_31 Pretty sure Rise is MH6 lol.

@psyraven76 I'm pretty sure most small indie companies aren't using gen AI at least.

@Dr_Lugae The problem is that this court ruling sets precedent and could in theory be used to illegalize anything and everything based on its loose interpretation making it a potentially dangerous law.

@WhiteTrashGuy Her?! I think you mean "he" lol. 🤣

Edit: Got ninja'd lol. 🤣

@Maxz Thanks for the laugh I needed it! 🤣

@nhSnork I have a 1 TB micro for my OLED and I avoid games I can get on PS4 as 1 TB still fills up SUPER fast with 20-50 GB AAA games "At least on PS4 I have a 6 TB HDD" My largest Switch 1 game clocks-in at a WHOPPING 67.5 GB which is INSANE NGL lol. 🤣

@Liam_Doolan The REAL question is WHY do we even need an upgrade anyways? The Switch 1 version was barely a downgrade from the PS4/PS5 versions anyway with the only potential perk being a better frame-rate, but the game was already designed with 30 FPS in mind to begin with and the game runs smooth as butter on Switch, there is ZERO reason to buy this version if you already own the Switch 1 version...

@molkom No problem! As they say a snark a day keeps the Trolls away!

@Aquinas Too bad you don't follow your own advice. I was done, but your antagonistic response deserved appropriate snark. 🤪

@Aquinas Wow what nonsense. Language has nothing to do with race, also if someone moves to another country, should they still use their original language from their homeland instead of integrating into their new country's society? If so, perhaps you should be speaking Trollish, eh?

Wow! ACTUAL new features being added to Switch 1 in June 2026?! That wasn't on my radar for things that could happen in 2026, but still welcome QoL features all the same! 😎

@iLikeUrAttitude Could also be showcased during Tuesday's State of Play or this week's rumoured Nintendo Direct as well?

@Bizzyb IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!! 🐒🙈🙉🙊🐵

@Chocobo_Shepherd Haha! Okay THAT was a funny reply NGL! 🤣

@Chocobo_Shepherd

Ahem, yeah there's really not a whole lot of similarities between this and Pokemon so no this isn't something that should be nuked out of existence and if it does then you'll surely be okay when 99.9% of all existing IP from major publishers are nuked out of existence by Nintendo and other companies...

Imagine saying how fortunate it is that Deca Police has been cancelled for Switch and is coming to Switch 2 instead to people who were looking forward to the game and can't upgrade to Switch 2 thanks to the horrendous economic environment we're in right now lol. 🤦

@Sidon_Zora_King @Game_n_Watch_it_pal It's ironic that @KidSparta 's comment was what made this discussion political. It'd be like saying that we can't discuss about ESRB or PEGI because they are "technically" government-run ratings boards, completely ignoring the fact that it has EVERYTHING to do with video games and therefore something anyone who wants ACTUAL news regarding the hobby we love would want to be kept in the loop by sites like PS/NL!

Edit: That said if comments got out of control I'd understand closing comments regardless, but if copyrights, patents, anything related to ESRB, etc, etc. had comments disabled it'd be REALLY jarring as there'd be SO MANY articles that people couldn't communicate in which would be bad for a community-based website like this one. While I wish we could comment in every topic, I understand why @antdickens disables them in some cases, however he also needs to be careful not to disable too many discussions or he may anger some members of the community. I believe he and his crew have been doing a fantastic job so far! Anyways I just wanted to add some context to my original message. Cheers! 😎

@-wc- Sad, but unfortunately true.

@rjejr Probably by making different versions and you have to pay extra for the complete story lol. Just thinking about the ridiculousness of it made me lose some brain cells lol. 🤦

@trymer89 LOL been awhile, but tbh the GBA games didn't actually look bad, for, well...GBA games, oh and XD: Gale of Darkness wasn't a bad looking GCN game either, but aside from those this might be the first game in the series in a good 20+ years that ACTUALLY looks good for a game released on the platform it's releasing on lol. 🤣

Edit: PS. Wasn't sure how to word it, so my message may or may not be grammatically correct lol. 😅

@JimNorman Nice IGN reference lol! 6/10 Too much water! 🌊🤣

@KidRyan It already has its release date on the eShop listing if I'm not mistaken? 🤔

@Olliemar28 Preferably opening with psyche! This is ACTUALLY a full-on standard Nintendo Direct lol! 🤣

@betterthanvegas You do realize that means we probably won't get games period at some point in the future right? Eventually every single company will misstep once and be figuratively nuked from existence until there are none left. That's the way censorship works. So keep celebrating this, but do realize that if we go down this route that one day all forms of entertainment will be gone and I'm guessing you'll be scratching your head wondering how it happened.

@betterthanvegas Good? You say that now until Square Enix, Capcom, and other publishers get banned. It may start with AI slop publishers, but will almost certainly spread to legitimate publishers if no actual criteria is put in place specifying what is and isn't allowed...

@AlanaHagues Uh...??? Don't you guys usually provide the link to the page?

There's already an option for using text for the Spirit Box, so just making that the way to use it would have been fine on Switch 1. Not ideal, but certainly doable.

On a side-note I'm honestly surprised a Switch 1 version was never released as the game wouldn't be too difficult to run with slightly lower resolution textures. I mean it basically looks like a PS4 game on PS5 so obviously it could have been possible, but obviously at this point it might not be as worthwhile to release a Switch 1 version since Switch 2 is now on the market, but I digress lol.

For any of you on the fence this is a fantastic horror title that is wholly playable and functional as a single player offline experience as well, and is pretty friendly for those who don't like bloody or gory horror experiences. There's plenty of jumpscares and creepy moments in the game, but nothing that would prevent most easily grossed-out or nauseated players from enjoying this game.

That said horror 2.0 update releases next year and might change some of that, but we'll see. Right now what I mentioned in the first paragraph applies to the game.

@SwitchplayerJohn How is keeping a more affordable option a.k.a. the Switch 1 available with modest support a bad thing in this horrendous economy? Most people who aren't upgrading won't suddenly upgrade if Nintendo pulls support of Switch 1, they will just continue on with Switch 1 whether or not support for the console continues...

@Solid_Python Only one problem with that...not all Japanese games have English text and not everyone in the West is fluent in Japanese...

@Gohanjin Weird Captain Tsubasa seems to run fine on my Switch OLED...🤔

@SearchingS No way that'll happen as FC and SC are two halves of the same game essentially so Falcom will at least release SC Remake on Switch 1 before moving on from the hardware at the very least.

@bring_on_branstons Both apps are Japanese exclusive as far as I can tell, unfortunately.

@Bizzyb Honestly I'm shocked as the current times are actually worse than when the PS5 launched economically speaking for the vast majority of the world's population...

@JimNorman Is the free update also for Switch 1 players?

@Liam_Doolan Is this update also available for the PS4/PS5 versions of the game?

@FX29 I'm fairly certain given how many changes they made to this game from its mobile game origins including a MASSIVE overhaul in visuals and a good 70% longer story campaign. It's likely that the game was in development for a couple years, so they were probably already halfway through development of the title by the time the Switch 2 was formally announced and decided to release the game on the originally planned platforms rather than delaying the game by months or longer to start development on a Switch 2 port of the game alongside the planned platform releases.

Ooh! First person mode sounds neato! Glad to see that feature being added on Switch 1 as well!

@HammerGalladeBro Imagine if Nintendo gives us Super Mario Bros. 4 on the NES NSO app as a from the ground up brand new NES game, and maybe an announcement that more newly developed games for the retro consoles on NSO will be released over time?! THAT would actually be my favorite announcement of the direct regardless of what else would be announced! One can only hope and dream lol. 😅

Edit: In case it wasn't obvious I truly don't think this is going to happen, but it would be AMAZING if it did lol. 😻
