Remaking an original is the safest bet to keep the franchise alive. Still, I'm wondering if it will be enough. As for me, it's not. Considering Panzer Dragoon Zwei on the Sega Saturn, I'm still waiting for an on-rail shooter that gives me such highs as that game did.

There's a relatively small but VERY vocal group of people who hate the story of this game. People with a certain type of socio-political views... Their vocal hatred only shines a spotlight on this game, which makes it even more popular with the general audience. I'm sure that this plays into of the success of this game, and I'm glad for it.

Working a lot, so I don't have much time. But I'm really excited to try the Alabaster Dawn demo. A new game by the devs of CrossCode, a game I adore. The game is coming to Early Access on Steam next week, but a Switch version is planned too.

Don't have much time. I want to try out the Pragmata demo.

Great for some users, but Belkin will loose money on this product. Too niche.

Please announce the release for Okami Sequel soon !! And a 60fps update to Okami HD in the mean time. Please?!?!?!

I've been driving 11 hours this weekend. The only game I had the attention span for was Stitch. Just relaxing with a few new daily puzzles.

I can't do sub-60fps games anymore. The movement, especially on a large display, is jarring. It takes all the fun out of gaming.

I have every model. All of them completely worn down by me and my daughters. But my last New 3DS Xl is my favorite. It's the orange and black version. And nobody is touching it but me!

I love gaming in 3D. Too bad that Nintendo isn't continuing it.

Been re-playing Fallout 3 for three weeks straight, so I need a break. I'm about to start Far Cry Primal. Meanwhile, I'm nearly done with the Mega Man Legacy Collection on Switch. I've never played Mega Man 6 before.

Just to get this off my chest. Please, get an 8Bitdo Pro controller for your side scroller games. The d-pad on these is so much better than the one on the Switch 1 and 2 pro controllers. The positioning too. I have the SN30 Pro+, which (after the Pro2) is the last model to have a membrane d-pad. Choose this one if you prefer the classic feel of the 90's controllers.

The trailer for Belmont's Curse is looking good and I think that this game will be a hit. But the graphical style and fast paced gameplay is not for me. I would have liked a more darker/subdued and gritty looking and feeling Castlevania game.

If Konami is promising more to come, then I hope that the first Lords of Shadow and Mirror of Fate will get remasters this year.

Continuing heavily modded Fallout 3 and also Mega Man Legacy Collection.

I'm not into multiplayer, so 80% of the content is not for me. I'll be upgrading, but only for the Captain Toad side story content, the boss challenges and the upgrade to (almost) 4K.

Replaying Fallout 3. Heavily modded this time, on my newly upgraded PC.

I love most main line Kirby games, but I don't care much about the spinoff's. Same goes most other Nintendo's IPs.

The excitement over Nintendo's IP spinoff's is often overblown by the gaming press. But the target audience of these games is usually fairly small.

@2arabiansanchez
Nintendo's own Switch 2 games aren't small either. They are somewhat smaller than the larger 3rd party games because of the art style chosen. Nintendo uses simpler graphics, requiring lower resolution textures and thus requiring less storage space. There are plenty of studios/publishers that have released MASSIVE games with a much smaller footprint on the Switch. But I agree that Nintendo should work more proactively in helping devs to optimize for the Switch/Switch 2.

I saw someone on YT go through the Switch 2 version menu setting. Like in the PS4 version, you can't disable the camera shaking. And that's so weird, because in the PC version you can.

Playing AC: Valhalla; Dawn of Ragnarok on PS5. Two years ago, I was really burned out on AC Valhalla. This extension DLC is nothing special, but it's kind of nice.

Working, so not much time. But I'll find a couple of banana gems in DK: Bananza tomorrow.

Yes, I replay NES games regularly. NSO has a couple good ones, but most of my favorites are not available. So I emulate those. No qualms about it. Nintendo should release more classic games! I don't care if they have to battle it out with the publishers. But it's very likely that Nintendo simply doesn't care.

Nintendo being optimistic... Sure hope it pans out.

I'm so excited for this game to finally resurface! My hopes flared up when House of the Dead 2 remake (same studio) was released. The remake of the first game was really good, but Panzer Dragoon Zwei is the game that has my heart. Such a good ambience and such good memories. Can't wait!

I'm waiting (and wishing) for a proper d-pad focused left joy-con. Like we had for the Switch 1.

Maybe still a bit early to tell? But things aren't looking that great, for now.... I'm hopeful of things getting better soon though.

System launches aren't easy. But with Nintendo looking to pursue the success of the first Switch, you would think that there would be more exclusive Switch 2 titles and more Switch 2 upgrades (even from 3rd parties). Yes there are quit a few, but certainly not enough to convince new players to enter the ecosystem.

Mario Kart World being a good example of thing going wrong too. Sure, Nintendo is trying to "switch" things up a bit with this iteration. But too much for old MK fans, and not enough for new ones.

For me personally, I have finally upgraded my March 7th 2017 OG Switch to a more capable console. I'm just happy with the quality of life upgrades for my favorite OG Switch games on my huge OLED TV for now. Like BotW for example. And DK Bonanza is really fun too.

Still, Nintendo needs to step it up. And game-key cards... What the crap!

The d-pad, pictured on the black controller, looks aggressive. Like the one on the first Genesis/Mega Drive 6-button controller and on the JP/European version of the Saturn controller. Those were very comfortable and very precise for 2-D- and fighting games. I dare to argue that the d-pad on the Saturn controller is the best ever made. And I know that I'm not the only one saying that. But it all depends on the switches and the materials Gulikit is using. You can't tell until you try it.

Any excuse to relive the 80's! Count me in.

My wonderful plans for this weekend fell in the water, dried up and then burnt to a crisp in the blazing hot sun. Out of frustration I bought DK: Bananza It should be ready downloading now.

At a certain point, a company can't improve on one of it's main products that much in order to justify yet another 50+ Euros purchase. The lack of a headphone jack is very annoying!

I'm hoping for new games to be announced, or the ones that don't have console releases yet. Like Faeland, Fallen Leaf and Gecko Gods.

I bought the new one too. Yes, it's a little nicer, but not worth the extra money to be honest. My only justification being that I gifted my OG Switch with the first Pro controller to my daughter.

The Switch 2 needs this game in 2025.

Being gen-x myself, I understand the references. But I still think it's cringe. Forced humor isn't humor.

So the full Switch 2 price and the additional cost of the DLC... That's harsh Nintendo...really...

I'm guessing Reggie would have (and has, in private) plenty more to say about Nintendo's current decisions, the Switch 2 launch, it's game prices and impending NSO GC releases.

I was a bit out of the news loop when the Switch 2 was announced. Two days later I watched the recaps and saw all the anger about the prices. I shrugged and smiled while watching BoTW running at 1440p - 60fps. But then I saw Wind Waker on NSO...

NINTENDO !! YOU KNOW that Zelda fans have been wanting Wind Waker HD (and Twilight Princess HD) on the Switch FOR SO LONG !! Is it really too much too ask!?!??!

These two Zelda games could easily sell 4 to 5 million copies each. I still have hope, but I really don't understand Nintendo sometimes. I'm sure that if Reggie would have still been at Nintendo, he would have made it happen.

I don't think that mouse controls will be a big deal for Switch 2. Especially with the shape of the joy-con probably becoming very uncomfortable to use for longer gaming sessions. But I do appreciate Nintendo for trying.

I'd much rather have all consoles support K+M as inputs by default. And the games to support is too of course. I would ditch PC gaming in a heartbeat if they did. I'd love to play Metroid Prime 4 using my Razer Tartarus V2 keypad and Basilisk mouse, for example.

I'm disappointed to see Wind Waker... It looks we're really getting the GC version. Sure, the NSO trailer mentions the crisp, modern visuals for GC games. But I just want the Wii U's HD version.

I just finished looking through my backlog. I'll give Horace a try.

@KociolekDoSyta
Not if the price that you and I read is in Dollars. U.S.

@KociolekDoSyta
Your dad at Nintendo knows that with the very high sales tax in E.U. countries, it's likely to be more like €500,-

I mostly play in docked mode and use a wired connection. Wifi is not my priority. I just wonder which Bluetooth version the Switch 2 is going to get, because connecting my wireless headphones to the OG Switch is a nightmare! I have three different brands of headphones and earbuds. Every time I try to connect one of them, it's hit or miss.

Working this weekend. But a few minutes of Majong and Stitch is helping me to relax.

Am I the only one who gets slightly annoyed by people listing half a dozen (and more) games that they say they are playing each and every weekend? Are there really so many people that aren't working, have no other responsibilities or other hobbies? Are they really playing that many games at any given moment? Or maybe it's just me being a bit annoyed by the fact that I don't have more free time than I'd like...

@Mrcookie153 What are you talking about? You do know how dedicated Eric Barone is to perfecting his game, right?
