I wonder if they will do some optimization touch ups post launch like with RE Requiem. Guess it won't matter for my first playthough as I am not waiting lol.
Yikes. I had considered getting the Switch version with the announcement of Jam.
Switch 2 version would be ideal but that feels like a ban-aid to the general Switch situation. This version already took forever to get the DLC characters after Dizzy.
Discussion around this movie has skyrocketed since the reveal. People may not like the spoiler but the marketing team clearly knew what they were doing.
@Alcea If we can get a Starforce collection that only has 3 main entries (they each have split versions but still), I think there is hope for a Legends Collections with the first two games and the Tron Bon spinoff, regardless of the corporate speak we've gotten about that series recently.
Thanks for the review. A few years ago, I would have never thought I'd be able to get collections for both Battle Network and Starforce on the same system and in such a short period of time. Dream come true.
@JohnnyMind Yeah a Switch 1 upgrade path would be the only saving grace about a GKC release being cancelled. Not gonna hold my breathe given how NISA has treated every other Switch 2 release but we'll see.
@Bueno_Excelente Because playing as Leon is pure power fantasy and badassery. Would not have finished the game if it were Grace that had to deal with "that" lol.
I technically started with RE4 on Wii back in the day but never finished it. I played through Revelations to completion on 3DS but that didn't make me interested to try the other games at the time.
Played through Requeim and loved it. Currently playing through 4 HD on Switch with plans to play 5, 6, REV 1 and REV 2 afterwards. Hoping Switch 2 gets ports of the 2,3,4 remakes. I skipped the remake of the first game because of the giant spiders but I may give 0 a try.
Would have been all over this a couple of years ago as I massively enjoy PvE over PvP. Hope the current fans enjoy this enough so that both modes can co-exist.
@Vyacheslav333 There are demos for the 2nd and 3rd games on the eShop.
Regular monster hunter has you hunting monsters with the main gameplay loop of improving your gear to hunt stronger monsters. MHS are creature collecting RPGs where you collect the monsters, ride them and use them in battle to fight other monsters.
Thanks for the review. I finally played the demo last night and decided to pull the trigger on a pre-order. I didn't have many issues with the performance in the demo but I am glad to hear its at least decent in the full game.
Big fan of the game having a voiced protagonist this time. I just went with the default appearance and thought that worked well.
While I know it is a reference to the main games, I do wish these Stories games would embrace overworld BGM.
@LastFootnote I think it is intentional? If it were available at release, what would be there to stop people from just transferring high level Pokemon in to breeze through the game?
Kudos to Capcom indeed. I went from no interest in this game to buying the Generations Pack after seeing reviews were positive on both Switch 2 performance and the game overall.
Haven’t played a RE game since Revelations on 3DS. Excited to play this tomorrow.
Advertising the DLC costumes with a generic t-pose is hilarious to me.
Considering they quickly went from indefinite delay back to a firm release date, I am going to hope this is due to performance and not censorship. I never tried refunding my Switch 1 copy so hopefully the Switch 2 version will be worth the additional cost to upgrade.

Re: The Street Fighter Movie Somehow Looks Both Terrible And Amazing
Tbh, I just think the movie looks great. Not perfect but kind of what I want live action Street Fighter to look.
I'll be seeing this as soon as it comes out.
Re: Japanese Charts: Combined PS5 Sales Can't Even Beat Switch Lite
Spicy headline.
Anyway, I wonder if Pokopia will reach 1 million in JP physical sales before July.
Re: Star Trek: Resurgence Will Likely Be Delisted Very Soon
Yikes. Not even a year?
Re: PSA: Xenoblade Chronicles X Now Available Physically For Switch 2
Already bought this game in some form, 3 times lol.
I'll pick up this version as well but not right away.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pragmata For Switch 2?
Pre-ordered it on the eShop today after reviews dropped.
Re: Review: Pragmata (Switch 2) - A Dazzling Puzzle-Shooter Driven By A Heartfelt Friendship
Welp, this told me all I needed to know. Time to pre-order.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Hits Another Milestone As Pokémon Pokopia's Reign Continues
Glad to see Pokopia still doing well. Hope Star Force Legacy Collection continues to have legs.
Re: Looks Like 'Elden Ring' Will Be A Pricey Game-Key Card Release On Switch 2
Namco, at most, should have priced this at $70.
That said, I notice Elden Ring on Steam is still usually full price aside from big holidays so I guess I shouldn't be surprised they would pull this.
I'll wait for reviews and some type of discount before I consider getting this.
Re: 007 First Light Shaken By Delay On Switch 2, Now Releasing After Other Consoles
@DiamondJim Do you not just temporarily archive a game once you are done playing it?
Re: 007 First Light Shaken By Delay On Switch 2, Now Releasing After Other Consoles
Probably for the best. Hopefully it is well optimized.
Having Switch 2 versions that are day and date like RE9 is good but not at the expense of poor performance.
Re: Guilty Gear Strive 2.0 Patch Notes Seem To Confirm That Switch Is Being Left Out
Yikes. I had considered getting the Switch version with the announcement of Jam.
Switch 2 version would be ideal but that feels like a ban-aid to the general Switch situation. This version already took forever to get the DLC characters after Dizzy.
Re: Fantastic Fantasy Roguelike Absolum Is Getting The Full Physical Treatment On Switch 2
Cool. I was hoping this would get a Switch 2 version.
Re: Ratatan Dev Cancels The Switch Version
Ah, so it begins. Let's see if that attitude bites them later.
Re: Street Fighter 6's Next DLC Fighter Joins The Battle In "Late Spring" 2026
She looks silly. Interested to see what her moveset is like.

Re: Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition Has Been Rated For Switch 2
Cool. I hope they don’t skip DMC4 tho.
Re: Review: Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection (Switch) - A Well-Presented Package Of An Underrated DS Trio

I'd buy that too.
Re: Hands On: Pokémon Champions Promises Top-Tier Battling, But At What Cost?
Yeah the monetization kills this game for me. Same with Unite.
Glad we already have the next mainline games announced for Switch 2. (Please don't lose your minds with the pricing on those, TPC....)
Re: Review: Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection (Switch) - A Well-Presented Package Of An Underrated DS Trio

Re: Sonic Frontiers "Definitive Edition" Has Been Rated In Korea
Unless there's a Switch 1 to Switch 2 version upgrade path, I'm good.
Re: Mechs And Turn-Based RPG Combat Collide In 'Starbites' On Switch 1 & 2 This May
@JohnnyMind Yeah a Switch 1 upgrade path would be the only saving grace about a GKC release being cancelled. Not gonna hold my breathe given how NISA has treated every other Switch 2 release but we'll see.
Re: Feature: Where The Heck Do You Start If You've Never Played Resident Evil?
@TCKuma Went into Requiem blind and its only one segment. I researched the other games afterwards.

Re: Feature: Where The Heck Do You Start If You've Never Played Resident Evil?
@Drake Welp, so much for 0 lol. Good to know, thanks.

Re: Multiple Switch Games Receive Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
Didn't even know Kirby and FFXII had issues. Cheers for the fixes.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 22.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Handheld boost is the type of QoL I’d expect from Sony but never Nintendo. What a great update. They should make a bigger deal about advertising this.
Re: PSA: Switch 2 Update Adds Handheld Mode Boost, Here's How To Use It
This is such an awesome update. Games like Persona 5 Royal and Dragon Quest XI S instantly benefit.
Re: Former Overwatch Director Breaks Silence About Sudden Departure From Blizzard
Somehow, I am not surprised. Still sucks for Kaplan. =/
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Pokopia Gets Off To An Astonishing Start
@UpsideDownRowlet I'd be all over a Kirby cozy game but realistically, it would probably perform similar to Air Riders; good but not great.
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Pokopia Gets Off To An Astonishing Start
Surprise killer app.
Re: Fortnite's 'Save The World' Mode Is Going Free-To-Play, And It's Coming To Switch 2
Would have been all over this a couple of years ago as I massively enjoy PvE over PvP. Hope the current fans enjoy this enough so that both modes can co-exist.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Sales Surpass 2.2 Million Units Globally In First Four Days
Deserved. The game is excellent.
Re: PSA: Pokémon Pokopia Players Can Now Tour The Developer's Cloud Island
@ArthurFan1998 You need to use the Mysterious Goggles item to visit the island. Not Link Play from the PC. I was just able to visit.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Story Expansion Is Now In Development
Awesome news. Very interested to see how the story DLC shapes up and I hope the "minigame" is a mercenaries mode with Leon.
Didn't know photo mode was a staple of the recent games. I wonder if they will give us some more costumes to go with it.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Gets A Small Switch 2 Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Game is excellent. I hope we get some type of Mercenary mode with Leon. Even after two playthroughs, I want to keep playing.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Pokopia?
Just started playing yesterday but it seems cozy and charming. Would probably lean towards an 8/10 but its too early to say for sure.
It'll be a 10/10 once I get Scorbunny in my town. =p
Re: Veteran 'WarioWare' Director Goro Abe Has Left Nintendo
From game development to college professor? That's awesome. I imagine his courses will be in high demand.

Re: Legacy Of Kain: Defiance Remastered Switch Versions Hit With Last-Minute Delay
Gotta wonder why both versions are delayed.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Requiem?
9/10.
I think I am at the last stretch. The game is excellent.
Re: Yes, Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Are Getting Home Support
@LastFootnote I think it is intentional? If it were available at release, what would be there to stop people from just transferring high level Pokemon in to breeze through the game?
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Announced For Switch 2, Launching Next Year
Game looks neat. I am ready to adopt Pombon.
