Feel like the Japanese cover would have been fantastic.. but for a punching game.

@Stormcloudlive Yeah so as I was saying, it is kind of funny how commentors here will either mock or dismiss what they don't understand, often going as far as trying to shift the blame on the people they were mocking instead of simply admitting their own shortcomings.

But eh; free update!

@Stormcloudlive Bro I really don't need an explanation. These guys did

Funny how most commenters were mocking me yesterday, saying I could not possibly tell the difference between 60 and 120hz and that a human reflexes would not allow to cash in on it. Especially given this is a single player game.

12 hours later, a Nintendo Life editor comes and says the same thing, and everybody gets in line.

@OpheliaDynamight I'm Canadian, so don't worry we're Allies.

Right?

@OpheliaDynamight He's not wrong bringing up numbers but he's actually looking at it the wrong way. My poor reflexes are what they are, but 60hz is ~16ms latency, while 120hz is 8; that's not rocket science. 8 frames is actually kind of a lot in this game.
There are obviously other factors at play, but the lesser the betterer.

@squiddu-real Not sure what your "ehhh I mean not quite" is supposed to mean, but regardless of what you are FEELING about the Switch 2 Edition, 120hz will DEMONSTRABLY cut down latency.

In my mind, this is what's making this update truly interesting.

120hz goodness is not about added smoothness. Not on Switch 2.

It's about latency. With games as tough as they are, any millisecond I can shave can make the difference between life and death.

Woah woah woah; what's up with all that shimmering?! Oo

Got a 1100+hours under my Fallout 4 belt, and let me tell you: something's not right.

By popular demand: introducing new sex partners and more breeding opportunities in Stardew Valley, your favourite family game.

Let's see: plain bad, or busy bad?

Decisions, decisions..

Some people are already calling it one of the greatest pre-order bonuses in history of mankind; what a time to be alive.

Literally nothing for me in there. One or two titles I might consider to look at on PC.

With this kind of Mii nightmare graphics, I'm not even remotely curious to see what the game is actually about.

These games are so tiny they may actually hold into an actual Game-Key card.. XD

IN THE NAME OF CANADA I DEMAND NHL

Too long; didn't care enough to read.
I've got a 5 years worth of backlog, which could be larger but I'm picky, so devs are more than welcome to take as much time as they want.

Season SIX? But the game barely came out 3 months ago!

To be fair, I suppose this is one of the best pre-order bonuses in recent years.

@Olmectron Alright then; have fun!

Prediction: this is set to be one of the worst reviewed Nintendo release, ever. On par with Drag X Drive.

Polished experience

Splinter Cell is neither a shooter nor competitive; should we be worried? =S

@IronMan30 The best strategy. If they ever actually release the entire trilogy on Switch, you know there will be nice collectors editions to be had, and lots of early buyers regrets for actual collectors.. XD

It's 1080p30; not 1440p.. while the second one is significantly more ambitious and the 3rd one even more so. At best, it will be one of those technically impressive Doom3/Witcher 3-like impossible ports with heavily compromised visuals.

"largely" stable 30 fps is not a perk;
And Switch 2 will not get part 3, so why bother..

@Shade_Koopa There is more to it than that I'm afraid.

1st gen G-Sync did rely on the hardware G-Sync module (now called "G-Sync Ultimate") but nowadays the Nvidia driver will see any Freesync display as "G-Sync compatible" and allow VRR.

Also; Freesync is license free (maybe open source), but NOT universal. AppleTV and some of the latest AndroidTV/GoogleTV set-top boxes support HDMI-Forum standards in order to leverage (sigh) another sub-feature: QMS, aka Quick Media Switching. But that won't work if the tv/monitor only supports G-Sync or Freesync.

@romanista Never heard of that Red Viper thing you are talking about. Virtual Boy was the first thing everybody did when Google Cardboard and the like were released.. some 11 years ago.

@Shade_Koopa There is no such thing as hardware vs software VRR. The differences are in the tech standard. Tvs and monitors can support any combination of the following: Freesync, G-Sync and HDMI-Forum VRR.

That's why outlets like rtings.com will test all 3.

@Oldstalk Terrain destruction is a cool gimmick but there are a lot of mascot 3D platformers to choose from, and picking up the thing to do the other thing is not exactly revolutionary.

So yeah: a 7. Good. Worthwhile. But ultimately, skippable.

I liked Bananza, but, Innovation, Design or GOTY? It really doesn't deserve any of these awards. The game is a 7. A very colorful 7, but a 7 still.

Player safety? What the heck are they talking about?!

That multiplayer dlc really does nothing for me.

@SuntannedDuck2 Virtual Boy emulators have been available for over 25 years on pc and 15 years on Android.

It really is only a matter of "will my device fit inside" and "what trickery is Nintendo going to use in order to lock it down".

Pre-ordered both models but not even an Expansion pack subscriber; I'm just assuming it should work with pretty much any large phone or sub 8 inches tablet.

I'm good; already waiting for those Virtual Boy thingies I have absolutely zero use for.

4000 copies is such a weird arbitrary number

Season FIVE?
The bloody game is not even 3 months old!

"AK-47s can save lives" /s

Europe cover would have been much more likely to trick me into trying this game back in the days.

@molkom I'm in Canada; sorry for the delay! XD

This post wasn't even worth a tweet

@TimeGuy I'll just assume you want me to elaborate rather than deliberate so here you go:

The game is not even 6 weeks old and they are already on their SECOND content update?
Same for Hades 2, which now has a completely different endgame.
Why bother with physical copies at this point.

I like the manga style of the Japanese version but it is a bit too busy.
The US version is a piece of art. I wouldn't mind a full size poster or something.

Movie tie-on for Back to the Future 4? XD
I sure did not have that on my bingo card.

Of course it had to drop one day after they opened pre-orders for the Virtual Boy holder thingy and I've spent all my points.

@molkom Sweet summer child.
At launch, "Skyrim has stopped working" was often the only quest available.

Got both for the lolz. Not even an NSO Expansion subscriber, but I figure it should work with any phone/small tablet. Hopefully anyway.. =S
