@NinChocolate Nobody is going to build a brand-new realistic racing game for the Switch, as it just doesn't have the power. Developers will not waste time trying to make it work. However, this game is excellent.
@PKDuckman Every game works on every system. I honestly find it puzzling that people don't have multiple eshop accounts, seeing as this is the first region free Nintendo home console. I buy my games from wherever they launch first.
@xiao7 Thank you for this comment. I've yet to play it, but have seen similar positive reports. I think people were expecting a lavish RPG, and are now dumping on it because it isn't that.
I'm honestly flabbergasted at how well this runs. I doubted the performance heavily, as I'm sure most people did. The game was designed around modern architecture and the switch is an old mobile phone. truly amazing.
@I-U It hasn't had five years of development, five since it was announced. Then it was scrapped, obviously to be built on the next consoles architecture. I fully agree that the silence is ridiculous, but until they're ready to drop the new console, I don't think we're going to hear much about it. maybe we'll get both today.
@TenEighty In the Switch's case, yes, very very much so. It was underpowered at launch and now it's a wheezing old man. Yes, there are lots of great games for the system, but more and more develop[ers are either swerving it or having to put in far more time than they can afford to get games running. And the end results are massively downgraded. Running with 4gb of ram in 2023 and beyond is laughable.
@Greatluigi Well, whilst I don't condone online bullying, it is understood that people felt negatively toward it. Cuphead was an entirely unique aesthetic that had never been done before. To copy not only the style, but also the game play, was pretty silly. Imagine if somebody suddenly made a 2D platformer, based around two brothers who are builders, and the enemy is called Queen Joopa, but also maintained it was an original idea.
@BrianJL I don't like them, but I love this. I've just got done playing the demo, and it is amazing. Do not be put off, remember this is a multi-player game too.
For me, this was the best announcement of the direct. A true dream come true. I've just played the PC demo and confirm it's really fun, and looks gorgeous. Quite demanding even on low settings, so this will definitely be a 30fps on Switch.
Please don't spend twenty pointless minutes on Pikmin. Do show us Metroid Prime, bujt, that won't happen until we hear about the next console as that's where it will release.
Well, it's a much higher graphical fidelity than the previous game. The previous game on the switch wasn't pretty. Case closed. The reality is, play it on another system.

Re: Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition Soars Onto Switch This July
@JokerCK I honestly don't think the system has the horses for it. It would have to be so dummed down.

Re: New Star GP's Retro Racing Speeds Onto Switch This March
It's about damn time. This game is excellent.
Re: Review: Dodonpachi DaiOuJou Blissful Death Re:Incarnation (Switch) - Poetic Bullet-Hell Perfection
Excellent review. My copy is somewhere in the Christmas post, hopefully it arrives soon.
Re: Review: Dodonpachi DaiOuJou Blissful Death Re:Incarnation (Switch) - Poetic Bullet-Hell Perfection
@Vyacheslav333 because phone ports are watered down and mostly rubbish.
Re: Turok 3's Remaster Has Accidentally Released Early In Select Regions
These are great games, but £30.00 is excessive for a digital remaster. Definitely await a sale on this one.

Re: Review: Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure Of Dai - A Dismal Adaptation Of An Excellent Anime
I'm honestly a little shocked at this score, after seeing positive reports online. I think it looks awesome, and will definitely be giving it a go.
Re: Reminder: This Week Is Your Last Chance To Play Pac-Man 99 Online
@John_Deacon I think it's coming, or at least that's what I took from the datamined 'arcade' mode.
Re: Shiren The Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon Of Serpentcoil Island Is Coming To The West
Not crazy on the art style, the pixel art one that's already out is much nicer looking, and I've yet to play it.
Re: Random: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Gets Fan-Made NES Commercial, And It's Brilliant
Amazing. I wish this is actually what we were getting.
Re: Retro-Inspired Horror RPG 'Sunshine Manor' Gets Spooky On Switch Next Month
So weird, i was only thinking to myself what had become of this game. great to finally see it coming out.
Re: F-Zero 99 Update Adding More Tracks, Datamine Uncovers New Modes
Yesssssssssssss! I hope the arcade mode is something akin to the original with an offline mode and a normal field of cars.
Re: Video: Mortal Kombat 1 Graphics Comparison Reveals Switch Performance & Resolution
I'm honestly flabbergasted at how well this runs. I doubted the performance heavily, as I'm sure most people did. The game was designed around modern architecture and the switch is an old mobile phone. truly amazing.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Mortal Kombat 1
Switch is targeting 20 fps and 16 bit palette.

Re: Nintendo Direct September 2023: Time, Where To Watch, Our Predictions
It's the Switch 2, and I know this because my Dad owns Nintendo.
Re: Feature: 'Rugrats' Dev's Mission To Make NES-Style Games "That Should Have Existed"
Already looks better than the Garbage Pail Kids game.
Re: Feature: 'Rugrats' Dev's Mission To Make NES-Style Games "That Should Have Existed"
@theModestMouse This is an NES game, so you're good.
Re: Disney's Gargoyles Remastered Brings Sega Genesis Classic To Switch This October
YUCK! The HD version is awful, but, those original sprites are absolutely gorgeous.
Re: G.I. Joe Gets The Streets Of Rage Treatment In Brand New Arcade-Style Brawler
Cool idea, but the game play looks horrendous. I so want to be wrong, but I wasn't wrong about Double Dragon.
Re: Review: Toaplan Arcade Garage: Zero Fire - M2 Tackles Gaming's Greatest Meme In A Fine, If Stingy, Collection
Two of the dullest shooters to exist, give us Outzone for christs sake.
Re: After Heaps Of Legal Drama, Devil Engine Gets Its Own Physical Edition On Switch
@Teksetter it is absolutely incredible, one of the best. I cannot believe there are shooter fans that aren't or haven't played it.
Re: Poll: Do You Think Switch Can Catch PS2's Total Sales Before 'Switch 2' Arrives?
It's a possibility, but sales figures are slowing down, however, they do still have another 18 months.
Re: Poll: Do You Think Switch Can Catch PS2's Total Sales Before 'Switch 2' Arrives?
@JeanPaul Without it, it's going to be a trainwreck, and the fact that they are seemingly being led by developers requests is insane.
Re: Prison City, The 'Most Early '90s Game Ever', Is Coming To The Switch
Saw this in System Gamer Magazine a few months ago, it looks absolutely fantastic and is highly rated.
Re: Prison City, The 'Most Early '90s Game Ever', Is Coming To The Switch
@riderkicker Simply publishing.
Re: Natsume's NES Side-Scroller Shadow Of The Ninja Is Getting A Remake On Switch
This is genuinely fantastic news.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Targeting A 2024 Release For The Switch Successor
@TenEighty In the Switch's case, yes, very very much so. It was underpowered at launch and now it's a wheezing old man.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of AEW: Fight Forever
Another great SWITCH port. The new one cannot come soon enough. The system is so old it's killing games now.
Re: AEW: Fight Forever Is Getting A Free 30-Player Battle Royale Mode Update
Looks like AEW DLC for Fortnite.
Re: The Nitro Deck Is A Stunning Switch Controller Grip Promising "Zero Stick Drift"
@Spanky84 nope, they don't. Did I say they did? I'm unsure of your point?
Re: Random: This Fan-Made Recreation Of The Zelda Animated Series In TOTK Is Brilliant
I want a game that looks like the cartoon.
Re: Autobots, Engage! Transformers: Earthspark Is Landing On Switch This Fall
@Darthmoogle You wanna jump on that quick, as the last time I looked it was getting expensive.
Re: Review: AEW: Fight Forever - The Spirit Of WWF No Mercy Lives On In The Ring
Definitely getting it, but I think I'll opt for another platform. The old switch, is well...OLD.
Re: Cuphead-Like 2D Platformer Enchanted Portals Coming To Switch This Summer
@Greatluigi Well, whilst I don't condone online bullying, it is understood that people felt negatively toward it. Cuphead was an entirely unique aesthetic that had never been done before. To copy not only the style, but also the game play, was pretty silly. Imagine if somebody suddenly made a 2D platformer, based around two brothers who are builders, and the enemy is called Queen Joopa, but also maintained it was an original idea.
Re: Cuphead-Like 2D Platformer Enchanted Portals Coming To Switch This Summer
It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Looks different, slower maybe? I wish them well.
Re: MythForce Is A First-Person Roguelike With Saturday Morning Cartoon Aesthetics
@BrianJL I don't like them, but I love this. I've just got done playing the demo, and it is amazing. Do not be put off, remember this is a multi-player game too.
Re: MythForce Is A First-Person Roguelike With Saturday Morning Cartoon Aesthetics
For me, this was the best announcement of the direct. A true dream come true. I've just played the PC demo and confirm it's really fun, and looks gorgeous. Quite demanding even on low settings, so this will definitely be a 30fps on Switch.
Re: MythForce Is A First-Person Roguelike With Saturday Morning Cartoon Aesthetics
@Darthmoogle Fully agree. A dream come true. I just played it, and it's reaLLY GOOD.
Re: Autobots, Engage! Transformers: Earthspark Is Landing On Switch This Fall
Just give us a port of Devastation already.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2023: Time, Where To Watch, Our Predictions
@Crockin That's for the next console.

Re: This Side-Scrolling Shmup Has Intriguing Gameplay, But A Terrible Name
@RawBert shmup is awful.
Re: This Side-Scrolling Shmup Has Intriguing Gameplay, But A Terrible Name
ASTRO PORT, always has those fuzzy, muddy graphics. They look bad.
Re: Hands On: Mortal Kombat 1's Stunning Presentation Has Us Anxious About The Switch Port
@summerwalkin well it's graphically about 100% nicer, on powerful systems, than the last game, so take from that what you will.
Re: The Nitro Deck Is A Stunning Switch Controller Grip Promising "Zero Stick Drift"
Definitely want one. Hori split pads are brilliant, but still have a little bit of flex due to the connection. This looks perfect.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Ubisoft's Metroidvania "Inspired" Prince Of Persia Platformer?
Not even in the slightest. Prince of Persia is dull at best.
Re: Hands On: Mortal Kombat 1's Stunning Presentation Has Us Anxious About The Switch Port
Well, it's a much higher graphical fidelity than the previous game. The previous game on the switch wasn't pretty. Case closed. The reality is, play it on another system.
