Looks cool but....still no release date?

A customized protagonist seems like an odd choice but I guess I shouldn't fault them for trying something new with the 3rd entry.

I still need to play Octopath Traveler 2...

@Switching Clair Obscur is a Direct worthy reveal imo. I wouldn't expect a port until next year at the earliest.

Well, looks like I'll give P3 another chance with this.

I hope that Metaphor and the Persona 4 Revival get announced in the future.

Splatoon 2 & 3 both ranking is crazy. Hope the series continues to grow.

@YunoboCo Yeah, additional 3rd party support is definitely something that no Switch 2 owner cares about. Not at all!

Hmm, a Partner Showcase is not the Direct format I was expecting. There's still information we need on stuff like Prime 4 or Air Riders; are they just gonna shadow drop that on Twitter or Nintendo Today? RIP my hopes on more Switch 1 games getting Switch 2 patches soon I guess.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward to this Direct! Hoping they packed a lot into that 25 minutes.

@Fiergala What?

Yikes, no performance enhancements to the base game is gonna upset a lot of people.

I'm curious on the size on the Switch 2 version. Steam is showing 100GB (ugh) for the PC version but I wonder if that's the actual size of the game or a place holder.

@N8tiveT3ch Feels like Nintendo has just abandoned Friday releases in favor of Thursday lol.

Welp, this trailer won me over. The game looks great to me.

Crazy to me that GoA and Cyberpunk got their Switch 1/2 updates with minimal delay but the Switch version of The Hundred Line still hasn't gotten the update that the PC version got two weeks ago. 😔

I just decided to pull the trigger on the The Wandering Village. Loving the vibes of the game so far but I do think the text/UI size is only "acceptable" at best on Switch 2 in handheld mode which really makes me concerned about how it would look a non-OLED Switch 1 or Switch 1 Lite.

I'll be grabbing Donkey Kong physically from Costco due to the slight discount they offer for it in the US.

Auto-driving is a feature that I've wanting since playing the PC version but gave up on the idea of it being added. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for the Switch 2 version to get this update because I'm probably gonna use that in lieu of fast travel for the remainder of my playthrough.

Alright SEGA, I will buy.

Thank you for the review! I think I may just bite the bullet and give this a try. I'm usually not into platformers (or DK for that matter) but everything about this game looks charming.

I had to watch the trailer a few times but Sagat does look cool.

I may wait for Viper to release before I get the pass.

Switch 1 version for me it is then.

Well I'm hoping this rumor is true. There are a lot of newer games that I'm holding off on buying on PC in hopes that they'll come to Switch 2.

This might be unrealistic but I'm also hoping we'll see more developers provide free patches or paid Switch 2 upgrades for their Switch 1 games.

Thank you for the review! I'm interested in giving this game a try even though I don't play the genre due to its aesthetics.

I also appreciate the information regarding performance on Switch 1 and Switch 2.

sigh

I was wondering why they didn’t have a Switch 2 version of Yumia ready at or after launch and I guess this explains it. -___-

@N00BiSH Rather than a tie-in, do you think they'll have a new, separate 2D Mario ready for release when the movie comes out? Or maybe a remake of another Mario game?

So Switch 1 and Switch 2 only get the standard editions?

Yeah, while I wouldn't have been buying this or any of those overpriced editions anyway, that seems like a bad sign to me in regards to how much they'll support these games on Switch 1+2.

I don't think I'll ever get over the disappointment of no fully powered master sword in TOTK. The durability was just right not to be annoying and I love how it always glowed.

TOTK exceeds BOTW in just about every area for me except the lack of that, no trials of the sword and no master mode.

2-24GB for a demo? 😟

This is the only other Switch 2 demo on the eShop aside from SF6 (which i bought after playing thr demo) so I'll give it a try.

He's right. People jumped on the bandwagon with barely any evidence and then didn't even bother to apologize or admit they were wrong when it came out that Taylor was twisting the truth.

It was insufferable to be on social media during Bayonetta 3's launch because of this mess. The hivemind to boycott the game, Kamiya and Nintendo was ridiculous.

Awesome news!

Hope we get that Direct soon. It’s been kind of disheartening seeing all those 3rd party games getting announced with no Switch 2 version.

I’m personally hoping that the Persona 4 Remake gets confirmed (hopium) during the next Direct as well.

@Darthmoogle A Switch 1 version was NOT confirmed.

This article lists every game that was announced but you’ve gotta read the fine print for the Switch games.

Essentially, no new Switch 1 or Switch 2 games were announced here.

My hopium is that Switch 2 versions will be announced at an upcoming Direct since the only current Switch 2 versions they have announced are games with a Switch 1 release already.

I really want to see My Hero Academia - All Justice and Digimon Story: Time Stranger come to the system.

@Jack_Goetz I was recently watching a video from GVG and apparently Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 does something similar to keep the game around 30-40 fps.

This game has turned out to be a very good fit for me on Switch 2. I spend most of my time in World Tour or Fighting Ground while playing in handheld mode and it's easy jump in for pickup and play sessions.

The modern control scheme also kind of makes up for the lack of a traditional D-pad.

@StyrofoamCup Chun-Li would be ideal, yeah. Especially since her SF6 design is so pretty.

I guess I could always look for a budget tier figure of her like that.

Now that I am playing SF6, I have been tempted to grab Kimberly.

Best wishes to those affected.

Really feels like Microsoft has no idea what they are doing in the gaming space. They are mind boggling to me as a gaming company.

Tempted to get this just because the vibes are so good. I'm gonna try and hold out for reviews first.

Looks fun. I'll keep my eye on this.

I am hoping their first game on Switch 2 will be their biggest success so far.

73GB....

I miss Switch 1 game sizes already. 😭

Ironically, this forced me to transition most of my video game buying to Best Buy and I think I'll just stick with them for the foreseeable future.

In-store pickup for online pre-orders is so nice.

This is neat but I'll wait for Juri's inevitable swimsuit skin instead. =p

The devs were asked about a Switch 2 version on Twitter and they gave a very coy answer. Hoping we do get that Switch 2 version as I still want to play the game and this update seems to add good value.

@PinderSchloss As far as third party games go? No way, there's more first party upgrades.

Dave the Diver and No Man's Sky are the only third party games I can think of with upgrade patches. Hogwarts Legacy also has a paid upgrade.

I would agree that Nintendo needs to do more upgrades but I'm kind of expecting a few to get announced during the next Direct.

I really want DQXIS to get some kind of patch for Switch 2. I know it's an old game at this point but even just a resolution bump would add a lot of value imo.

@OctolingKing13 The game is cross-play and we know Nintendo isn't going to want their characters on other platforms. The amiibo and amiibo cards we got is the most I'd expect.

RIP my wallet after seeing those announced skins.

Daisy for me. I love all her outfits but the Touring one is probably my favorite.

In general though, I am using characters I wouldn't normally touch due to the unlockable cosmetics. For example, I would almost never touch Wario and Walugi normally but their biker outfits are cool.

I would have preferred an OLED but I also know that would have increased the price. I think the current screen is fine. I love the size of it too.

If we get an OLED Switch 2 in like 5 years with better battery life, I probably won't be against upgrading. If it's anything like Switch 1, I will have put like 5000+ hours worth of use in the system anyway by that point.

@Truegamer79 I know people are upset over game key cards (I'm not thrilled about them either) but they are absolutely not the same Cloud versions of games on Switch 1. Game key cards can be played offline and function similar to a download only game.
