@Vortexeo Same. Not surprised that Square decided to be lazy with no upgrade path for any of their games that are already on Switch 1 (with the exception of FF: Tactics that did get an upgrade option).
I reviewed the PC version last year and can definitely say, aside from some tricky puzzle solving, it's indeed a superb adventure that is definitely worth a look!
@Pillowpants This was a third party direct, not indie world so it wouldn't be one of the three that were pulled. Also the game has a playable demo at Gamescom coming up.
I keen for Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and I know a lot of people are keen for MH: Wilds but for the rest, it's rather underwhelming. A mix of games already available or updates? That could have been done in an e-mail.
Played the demo and thought it was good, although the bit with getting the key under the stool using motion controls was awful, especially when using the pro controller as I was playing the demo on the TV, so I then hold it off and then played it again on handheld mode and it was much better.
They need to give the option to allow us to disable the motion controls in the full game.
That's great to hear but can we also get Mistwalker's Fantasian as well, please? (For those who don't know, that's an RPG from the studio behind Lost Odyssey. Fantasian is currently an Apple Arcade exclusive)
@xshinox It was also available on PC but not many people play games on computer, so I don't see a reason why this game shouldn't be remastered and not released on all platforms.
@dmcc0 From what I can tell, you can play this without knowledge of the original but there is some references to the original (and even a certain character that makes a return).
Great to hear but kind of annoying that I got it for $10 for my Xbox and this version gets announced. Might wait for a price drop if I'm eager to get it again.
Been playing it on my Xbox and it's been really fun but Ubisoft really dropped the ball by making the early demo of this game as a Stadia exclusive instead of releasing it on all platforms from the beginning to gauge interest.
As much as I'd like the collector's edition but the price (including conversion and shipping) is too much to ask for, so I'll wait for the physical releases.

@DanijoEX So is THQ Nordic
Re: Koei Tecmo Reiterates Support For Switch 2, Plans To Release Even More Ports
And I'm willing to bet they'll be on game-key cards because they're like "Preservation? What's that?!"
Re: Surprise! Square Enix Has Released A Switch 2 Version Of Star Ocean: The Second Story R
Why is Square so allergic to upgrade paths?

Re: Review: The Drifter - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Switch 2) - Rivals The Greats Of The Sierra & LucasArts Adventure Era
I reviewed the PC version last year and can definitely say, aside from some tricky puzzle solving, it's indeed a superb adventure that is definitely worth a look!
Re: Acclaimed Point-And-Click Adventure 'The Drifter' Hits Switch 2 Next Week
One of the best games I played on PC last year. Definitely happy to see it's coming to Switch and Switch 2!
Re: Square Enix Has "No Plans" To Sell A Switch 2 Upgrade For Dragon Quest XI S
Another Square Enix L.
Re: Devil May Cry 5 'Devil Hunter Edition' Has Been Rated For Switch 2
@MirrorFate2 That's still a mystery considering that the Switch 1 could possibly run DMC4 fine, even better on Switch 2.
Re: SWERY & SUDA51's 'Hotel Barcelona' Is Coming To Switch 1 & 2 "Soon"
Played it on PC when it came out and while I loved the presentation and crazy narrative, it wasn't good at all.
I've yet to play the update though, so it may be better now. But I'm curious on how it'll run on both Switch and Switch 2.
Re: UK Charts: Indiana Jones Commences His Great Circular Crusade On Switch 2
@Suketoudara Maybe PC?
Re: Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes Of An Elusive Age - Definitive Edition Has Been Rated For Switch 2
I'd be shocked (but happy) if Square ever does an upgrade path for Switch 1 owners of DQ IX since they rarely do that.
Re: Tales Of Arise - Switch 2 Performance And Resolution Revealed
30fps for exploring and combat while the cutscenes are in 60fps...
WHY NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND?!
Re: Feature: 11 Of The Strangest Game Over Screens On Nintendo Consoles
The DKC3 game over screen with the door shutting kinda creeped me out when I played it.
Re: Motördoom Is A Weird Mix Of Demon Slaying And BMX Tricks, But It Looks Kinda Gnarly
Not on the Australian eShop
Re: Nintendo States Its Intention To Acquire More Development Teams
@SBandy1 They're owned by Atari. Unless they make an offer they can't refuse, it won't happen.
Re: One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 - Switch 2 Edition Announced, Includes Free Upgrade For Switch Owners
Square Enix should be taking notes.
Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Looks To Be Winding Down Support With The 'Definitive Edition'
If they do a Switch 2 release of this, I'm betting it'll be a Game-Key card since WB Games loves to cheap out as much as possible.

Seriously? No Geist?
Re: Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced Announced For Switch
Glad I didn't get the 3rd game then.
Re: Critically Acclaimed Survival Horror 'Sorry We're Closed' Is Rated For Switch
Played a bit of it on PC not too long ago and so far, it's really neat!
Hope it gets a physical release in the future.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Double Dragon (NES)
The Japanese box art is giving a very Fist of the North Star vibe to it. Was it done by Tetsuo Hara?
Re: Capcom Outlines Its 'Tokyo Game Show 2024' Online Program
I keen for Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and I know a lot of people are keen for MH: Wilds but for the rest, it's rather underwhelming.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With Four More Titles
Battletoads & Double Dragon. That's all I wanted.
Re: Critically Acclaimed 2D Sekiro-Like 'Nine Sols' Has Been Rated For Switch
@anoyonmus They certainly wouldn't since Nintendo has connections with Ten-cent whom are supposedly linked to the Chinese government.
Re: Critically Acclaimed 2D Sekiro-Like 'Nine Sols' Has Been Rated For Switch
@silver-crescent I often confuse this game for Bo, haha.
Re: Activision Blizzard's Bobby Kotick Will Step Down Later This Month
@Dazman Or would have been better if he got fired by the board of directors and fined for his crimes.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Demo For Another Code: Recollection?
Played the demo and thought it was good, although the bit with getting the key under the stool using motion controls was awful, especially when using the pro controller as I was playing the demo on the TV, so I then hold it off and then played it again on handheld mode and it was much better.

Re: Feature: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Director Explains Anime Inspirations And The Warrior's Journey
Played the demo for this game at PAX back in October and came away really impressed. Definitely a day one purchase for me!
Re: Hands On: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Royally Delivers On Switch
I tried the demo for this game at PAX Australia in October at the Nintendo booth, it was amazing!
Re: Another Code: Recollection Remakes Two Cult Classics On Switch in January 2024
Hope we can get Hotel Dusk and it's sequel (that was only released in JPN and Europe) remastered/remade soon.
Re: Yu Suzuki's 'Air Twister' Is Space Harrier With Swans, Coming To Switch November
That's great to hear but can we also get Mistwalker's Fantasian as well, please? (For those who don't know, that's an RPG from the studio behind Lost Odyssey. Fantasian is currently an Apple Arcade exclusive)
Re: Kao the Kangaroo Reboot Leaps Onto Switch In May
Played the demo during Steam Next Fest on PC and it was outstanding! So I'm keen for this reboot of a franchise I never played before.

Re: Console Exclusive The Legend Of Tianding Gets A New Switch Release Date
@Spiders Yeah, the button mapping was a pain but I got through it.
Re: Console Exclusive The Legend Of Tianding Gets A New Switch Release Date
Played the demo for it on Steam, it was really good!
Re: Alan Wake Remastered Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch
@xshinox It was also available on PC but not many people play games on computer, so I don't see a reason why this game shouldn't be remastered and not released on all platforms.
Re: DOOM Slayers Collection Looks Set For Switch
And some of us feel a little jipped since we jumped in on the LRG releases...Oh well.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For NEO: The World Ends With You
@dmcc0 No worries!
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For NEO: The World Ends With You
@dmcc0 From what I can tell, you can play this without knowledge of the original but there is some references to the original (and even a certain character that makes a return).
Re: Microids To Reveal Panzer Dragoon And The House Of The Dead Switch Physical Editions
I'm guessing that Panzer Dragoon listing on EB Games' website wasn't complete BS after all. But I got a copy from LRG, so I'm good.
That said, interested in the HOTD remake.
Re: No More Heroes III Now Has A Collector's Edition And Deluxe Edition
Would be neat to pre-order if you can access the site... Which is down.
Re: Devolver Digital's New Game Has Been Banned In Australia
Yet somehow, it's still available on Steam and Epic.
Re: There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension Takes You On A "Silly" Journey Through Video Game Universes
Played it on PC, was pretty funny!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #78 - Super Mario RPG
The NA cover has a more less is more approach which I kind of like and has the tone of something big with the background image.
The Japanese cover is pretty bland in comparison but having the whole party of characters there is pretty cool.
Re: Physical Version Of Kingdoms of Amalur For Switch Includes The "Full Game" On Cartridge
Great to hear but kind of annoying that I got it for $10 for my Xbox and this version gets announced. Might wait for a price drop if I'm eager to get it again.
Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising Looks Like It's Getting A Demo, And It Might Be Coming To The Switch eShop

Re: Postal REDUX
So shocked that this is the first time a Postal game has hit console and it's on a Nintendo system.
Re: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered Officially Announced For Nintendo Switch
Disappointed that the Switch version is at 30fps since Burnout Paradise was able to do 60fps.
Re: Ori 1 + 2 Getting Standard Physical Releases On Switch "Later This Year"
As much as I'd like the collector's edition but the price (including conversion and shipping) is too much to ask for, so I'll wait for the physical releases.
