Very much looking forward to Requiem. 7 & 8 I've already played on PS4 but will probably buy discounted in the future. RE4 remake I still have not played and I'd like to see it on S2, please.
While I'm enjoying Cronos, the framerate drops are pretty significant. I'm slightly worried about the performance of RE9. I know Switch 2 can be surprisingly powerful but devs need to do the porting right.
Enjoyed this a lot on Wii. Still, it's another old game released once again. I have never played 1 & 3 and would love to see them get a modern treatment but this is probably a niche series so I don't think it will happen.
Ubisoft have those deep sales so maybe I'll check it out down the line if there's a decent patch. Doesn't sound good though and I'm worried Indiana Jones will have a similar experience on Switch 2.
I love playing horror on Nintendo's platforms. I've also always liked Bloober Team and their visions. Definitely going to get Cronos, it looks really nice.
I played Heretic a lot. The fantasy setting wasn't really a thing I'd care for but first person shooter as a genre was still very young and I just loved it. So I played every fps shareware and demo I could get my hands on. Might get this somewhere down the line.
It's possible but Nintendo needs to lower the price eventually to achieve that. While the handheld market gets bigger now it also means more competition and there's already pretty powerful stuff out there.
Stealing from a library is such a douche move. The games are there so low-income families can borrow them and have some fun they couldn't otherwise have.
This was the only option in the store when I bought the console so I went with this. It's a quality product and the zipper is especially nice and smooth. I like things simple so I have no complaints.
edit. the screen protector is not the best and I will probably replace that in the future but for now it's doing its job
I'm in love with this game once again. My only gripe with the S1 version was the crude looks and now it's actually quite pretty on my S2. I haven't even tried all the new stuff like fishing. I just got into the new fossil system today. Couldn't be happier with the game! Well, they could actually do something about the on-foot combat...
Playing with the inverted camera was a chore. I did this and it's actually playable. Not sure I have the time to re-play this but it's nice to have that possibility!
I just wish they release this game once more on Switch 2 (or at least an upgraded version of it). They're probably moving on pretty soon but it's a great game that I've played on and off for years.
Looks great. Reminds me of many great games from the 90's.
And T2 of course is the best in the series. I could honestly live without all the rest. T1 is fine with its darker tone but T2 is where it's at. Very much like Alien/Aliens like @nocdaes already mentioned.
Make it 399€ and I will get it as soon as possible. Make it 449€ and I will still buy it but will feel bad about it. 499€ is too much and makes me look into buying a used PS5 and play through the backlog.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they will introduce another "loyalty" program. If they don't I'm honestly quite disappointed. It's not a huge deal but I love spending that sweet gold.
XCX is great, played it about 200 hours back in Wii U era. But Prime 4 is where it's at. I'm ready to play it on old or new platform, which ever gets here first.
Would have bought these two years ago. Or even some months ago but not anymore. It's suprisingly hard to find replacements that actually have all the necessary features.
Split Pad Pro is great but no gyro. I also bought Steelplay Twin Pads but those have the gyro working in weird steering wheel style which doesn't really work in fps games. Weird decision.
All in all, I'm already fully entered the Switch 2 train to hypeville so no new accessories for the OG.
Great news, although I have played all of them before. I never finished Bunker for some reason so I'm gonna do that on Switch, my horror platform of choice.
SOMA is pretty amazing for fans of creepy sci-fi and Bunker is the second best of the series, almost topping the first one.
If it's 30€ I'll wait for a discount. I have my eyes on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series right now but the price for the bundle is a bit steep for me right now.
@LikelySatan The controls in Dusk are divine on Switch. Absolutely amazing game. I've been playing all the classics (the whole Doom series and Quake and so on) and modern retro "boomer shooters" in the past year and Wrath I will definitely get. Looks amazing.
Switch is a great platform for metroidvania type of games. Hope it runs well enough. Can't wait to not know where to go next! (No, seriously it's really frustrating)
I used to play this a lot in the late 90's. I had absolutely no idea what the game was about but enjoyed it none the less. The stage design was/is pretty weird and can feel fan-made at times. Crazy game and a significant part of my gaming history.
I played both games of the series on DS back in the day. Being a horror fan it was awesome just to see any horror game on the console and these were actually good ones. Some of the enemies were pretty menacing.
Many Sunsoft games were top-notch. Blaster Master, Batman and Journey to Silius were some of my favorites from the NES era. Awesome soundtracks as well!
@CJD87 My memory is a bit hazy but if I remember correctly it was Our Lady of the Charred Visage that I suffered with a lot while Tres Angustias only took one try.
Sometimes it's just a matter of good days and bad days and other factors too. It's still very interesting how people have such different experiences with stuff like that. It must have something to do with the fact that the whole game is pretty tough so there is not much of linear rise in the difficulty.
@CJD87 Yeah, they made the last boss quite a bit harder. Took some effort for sure but I defeated it quite confidently after a couple of tries. I read people's experiences with the game and it seems some bosses were hard for others and easy for some. One mid-tier boss I defeated first try while one made me almost give up completely. Great game all in all if not a bit punishing.
They are one of the greatest developers so it's good business is blooming for them. They also treat their main series well with not too many compromises which makes me happy.
I enjoy an occasional RPG but all these anime themed games are kinda blending together in my mind. Also excessive button mashing doesn't really do it for me. Timing based is okay but I prefer (at least semi) turn-based.
Yeah, Nintendo's hardware can hardly run their first party games. I think they will and should address this issue in the future. It's quite shocking to see relatively simple looking games with frame rate dips, like Link's Awakening when you enter a busy screen.
I'm not saying they should enter the race for the most powerful console but they should find the balance. If and when they have increasingly ambitious games then the hardware should match. 🤷🏻

Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 Is Already Breaking Sales Records In France

I got mine from a local supermarket the day after release. The basic version was sold out but there were a couple of MK bundles left.
