Japan cover would not look out of place on a VHS tape from the 80s.

@Max_the_German Problem is Switch 2 can only do VRR on its internal display; and 40fps mode is only 1440p and only available if you have a 120Hz display. So yeah; they still got to figure it out the old way. Unfortunately they are choosing 30fps; which is not only terrible for smoothness, but for latency.

Got the original Dragon Warrior from the Nintendo Power offer some.. 31 years ago?! Yes, I am ancient, but not obsolete. The grind for that Flame sword made me the man I am. Those filthy gold golems just had to die.

Switch 2 just wasn't designed with the number 60 in mind. Games are 70 and they run at 30.

I just wish all that effort went into a new game; the old version already looked amazing enough as it was.

Switch 2 port should have been delayed. Now the Physical version will hold the 30fps version forever. So much for long term collections and game preservation.

Wouldn't it be a glorious sight to have 6 dorks going at it in a LAN party.. Of course I'd be one of them. XD

Nintendo: YOU DID WHAT?
Level-5: Well, our next game is being delayed, so we thought..
Nintendo: BUT WHAT IS YOUR MONETIZATION PLAN?
Level-5: What are you talking about? The game is already in the players hands. It's a free update.
Nintendo: GET OUT OF MY SIGHT AND PRAY SO THAT NOTHING HAPPENS TO THAT PRECIOUS DEV KIT BECAUSE YOU'RE NEVER GETTING ANOTHER ONE EVER AGAIN

I mostly remember them for all those Android ports they abandoned immediately after release and that disastrous Battlefront Classic Collection sporting assets stolen from mods.
Hopefully this one will turn out better.

How are these guys still allowed to do remasters?

Most likely only a shadow of the real game so it checks out I suppose.

Been wanting to get into this game for 25 years, but I feel like that time came and went. I simply cannot commit to 100hrs+ games anymore.

Will buy their plastic junk because it's an obvious collector item but will likely end up using it along with some random android tablet because I'm only a regular NSO subscriber and I'm definitely NOT paying ~3x the monthly fee for Nester's Janky Bowling, Blackwaterworld, 3FPS Tetris, Not Punch Out! and Wario World: The Lost Levels.

Resurrection art style just doesnt do anything for me unfortunately. Some series should stick to pixel art.

@Aventurier Finished DK 2 days ago.
The game runs out of ideas after the speaker layer. Last third was only abstract nonsensical worlds; resolutely below average, while Mario Odyssey only gets better and better.
It's a solid 8, but nowhere near a 10.

@SegaBlueSky I am in no hurry to give Nintendo more of my hard earned money for content that should have been included. They better not charge us for 200cc, OR ELSE.. XD

Are these real games? Feels like you're making up half of them.

I run the game once a week to collect my NSO silver coins but that's about all the use I've been getting out of it since launch week +1.

Don't pre-order unless given a SIGNIFICANT physical bonus. NEVER pre-order digital. Think they are going to run out of bits?

I'd be very interested in an interview with someone getting the super collectors edition, preferably with photos of the person's game room.

A mere 2 months after release. What value do our physical copies really hold, now?

@Suketoudara Do you have a link to that 120hz mention? I only see 1080p on SW1 and 4K on SW2.

Got a pair, but that's it I'm afraid.

Was pretty hilarious to see all those One Piece flags floating around on almost every wide shot of Nepalese protests footage.

I imagine Switch 2 owners will have no purchase planned for Dragon Quest VII so here's that

My only problem with the bike is that it's seemingly going to be the only vehicle available in the entire universe, which is silly af.

Switch 2 owners will have to download an update to run their physical copy AT ALL, so what's the point =(

That piece of plastic will hunt landfills and YouTubers backdrop for years to come.

@sevex Same here. So THAT'S why Bananza 100$CAD was so much more reasonable than Kirby's 115; turns out you have to shell an extra 30$CAD for the complete game.
So yeah; that physical copy you bought 2 months ago you were so proud of? Not the full game.

@Dimey Why are you like that ; what wrong did I do to you

@Dimey I said mainline. All-stars was clearly a special thing.

If no Mario Wonder Switch 2 Edition I'm literally eating my boots. It's the only mainline Mario not updated for SW2.

@Kraven Not disdain; people just need to be reminded it's not set to cure cancer.

@Anti-Matter Yes, whenever you don't share someone's opinion, the best thing is to be outraged and tell them how wrong they are. How much time you spent on a game is also a very useful metric that should turn most people/situations around.

• Feels like those are not the best; those are ALL the Switch 2 games.
• Why is Namco allowed to clutter the store with its Arcade Classics
• All those chibi-manga Japanese RPGs seem super generic and samish
• Huuuuge recency bias towards Silksong and DK
• Not sure the old Zeldas should be allowed on these lists or they will stay in the top 10 all throughout SW2's life.

Even back then, that wierd art with the fake Kate Winslet with the Milla Jovovitch wig was so bizarre I could not even be bothered to look at the back of the box.
I would have gave the Europe version at least a look-see.

Patches are never on time; they only show up when they mean to

"Looks, sounds, and plays great on Switch 2"
"super smooth and responsive"

or

"capped at 30fps"
"odd bit of hitching here and there when transitioning to a new area"
"character models can look a little rough at times"

Pick only one

I'll wait for the WiiU version

This is not the Star Wars you are looking for.

@Aventurier That trick only works in a handful of games. Bananza is not among them.

@ProfesorPoncho Vouchers can only buy Switch 1 games. You will have to buy the Jamboree TV Upgrade Pack.

@Aventurier But it wasn't supported out of the box; it was added only 2 years ago in version 6.0.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/x802cn/ps5_system_software_60_released_with_1440p/
And it's not like Switch 2 doesn't support it, it simply has to be exposed in the EDID. You can put a 10$ EDID emulator dongle in between and it will work.

@topsekret @Riku3456 You guys are mixing up the rendering resolution and output resolution.
On Switch 2, from the title screen, vanilla Jamboree always rendered at 1080p, but it used to output in a 2160p signal/container. Now it's straight up 1080p output.
If you select JAMBOREE TV, however - you get a 1440p render in a 2160p output, including the normal Jamboree games that can be played within it. It is complicated, yes. All because Nintendo wanted to maintain full version parity between vanilla Jamboree for Switch 1 and 2.
@Aventurier Yes, that is common to most tvs; it means while it may be available if forced, 1440p modes (60/120) are not exposed in the tv EDID.
However, games can still force it "in-game", if available at all. Mostly used to do 60 fps games in a 120 container in order to reduce latency atm; Street Fighter, Mona..; those games are not rendering at 120; it's just for latency.

Ooooh; found it; now Switch 2 will literally output a 1080p signal/container; leaving the tv to do the upscaling, where it used to output the same 1080 in a 2160p container.

Most likely for compatibility reasons with the Switch 1 version.

@MarioBrickLayer I expect a game-sized Upgrade Pack like Bowser's Fury or New Super Luigi U;
A handful of levels like Star-Crossed World would be a disappointment.
Don't think Switch 1 will be supported, but 120hz docked is likely to be available.

@MarioBrickLayer Put your money on a Mario Wonder Switch 2 Edition + Wario Sorrow.

Wonder is the only mainline Mario to have not received a free Switch 2 update. That's the tell.

Canadian here too; and yes, the pricing is absolutely insane. 115$CAD, are you kidding me?

"Sir, do you really want to replace the funny characters of original art with some random picture of a dude on a farm?"

"Yes; do that"

"But Sir, you do understand we're trying to sell this game to kids, right? Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"I was selling Atari to your father, young man; I know what I'm doing. But do put a cow front and center."

Someone should take bets on when that game is going to go 50% off.
