I am not going to buy both there are so much great games that deserve a purchase. Not going to play the same game twice. I am going to buy FireRed this year. My Pokémon adventure started with Red so I like those exclusives. I can trade with a friend of mine.
@JohnnyMind I didn't complain and I never said you can't be excited. You are the one complaining about something I didn't do At least we can agree that you won't be able to play every game anytime soon if ever. That's ok.
@JohnnyMind You seem overly excited about every game Nintendo Life writes an article about. Realistically I don't see how you could find the time to play al those games.
I am curious what Nintendo Life thinks of the Anniversary Edition. Will there be a review? I was initially excited/interested in being able to play the first Rayman game on Nintendo Switch because it is a great system to play all my (old) games on. I was interested in the physical release as well. But I don't like that they replaced the original soundtrack (for me that is a deal breaker). Instead I bought Rayman Forever on GOG for a few bucks and play the game on my laptop for a bit of nostalgia.
@charliecarrot I selected Alakazam, but if possible I would select Abra and Kadabra as well It is indeed a unique wild encounter and a very strong Pokémon. I have more favourites but Abra is always one of the six Pokémon in my team.
It should have happend years ago. I didn't vote the last question. standalone eShop release, full physical release on cart and Nintendo Switch Online release are all fine. I just don't see it happening.
I love them both! After beating Silksong I looked forward to playing Hollow Knight again. Love playing the Switch 2 Edition thus far. Reached City of Tears. I still remember a lot of the game so it is a different experience than the first time but it is still fun. While Silksong was a real challenge to beat I like it that Hollow Knight is a bit more relaxing to play.
I was already interested in playing Hollow Knight again after beating Silksong so the free upgrade is welcome. Installed the Switch 2 Edition after the Direct and have played it 30 minutes thus far. Curious to see how long I stay interested a second time but it is one of the best games I played.
I'm buying the full game on Switch 2. I don’t know when, but I didn’t buy the game on Switch 1 and I’m interested in having the latest version complete on cartridge.
My most played: 1. Silksong 2. Mario Kart World 3. Cuphead
I played/finished Cuphead in the first two months. Played a lot of Mario Kart World in June when the Switch 2 came out. Also liked playing THPS 3+4 on the Switch 2 in July and August. The last 4 months of the year was a lot of Silksong.
I just want the original Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas games on Switch (2). Same with Halo. They could have done this years ago. I am not looking forward to games like Oblivion Remastered that have performance problems. I don't really trust them in the way they launched the Skyrim Switch 2 version.
Weird list. Probably most people never played the earlier Need For Speed games. I am getting old... But the Need For Speed games between The Need For Speed (1994) and Need For Speed: Underground 2 (2004) where fantastic.
I would have voted for Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit (1998)
@LightSpirit I am still playing the game and plan to finish it before I come to my own conclusion. I do see some things that are worse than in Hollow Knight. I just finished Groal and that was really horrible gameplay
But now we are talking about two different things. You can rightfully don't like the game and don't agree with the choices that the developers made with this sequel. But that doesn't mean people here can demand a difficulty option. Not every game has to be for you.
@SalvorHardin Why do you ask if you already know the answer?
I think it should be the developers own decision to implement a difficulty option or not. And as a consumer you can choose to play the game or choose another game.
I am still playing the game. I am far into act 2 I think. Thus far I had some difficult bosses but most of the time I could explore more and discover new things that made the boss (a lot) easier. I am not feeling superior but I don't think I would enjoy the game as much if I can lower the difficulty at any point when there is a challenge to overcome.
Edit: Experience and challenge is an interesting thought. What I like most about these games is exploring. Always happy when a boss is finally defeated I can explore more. But I think the experience of exploring and discovering items and tools would have less meaning if there is less/no challenge.
I really looked forward to this game. Good that they are fixing a lot of the issues thus far. I'll wait for a few more updates and 50% off and then get the game.
@Samalik Never assume something obvious, Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic (a port of the iOS/Android version) didn't had touch screen support on release. (They did add it later though)
Personally I don't care that the game has no difficulty options. If this game has the same difficulty as Hollow Knight then I will be fine. Hollow Knight was a real challenge for me, but always fair and never frustrating. But the thing I like most about Hollow Knight and Silksong is exploring the world and find hidden places. It's unfortunate that less skilled players can't do that or get stuck because of a boss fight that is just too difficult.
I already have Kirby and The Forgotten Land physical. I do prefer everything on the cartridge but could also pre-order the Switch 2 Edition for 45 euro. Otherwise I might have done the upgrade path. Probably selling the Switch 1 version.
Almost 45 hours. Started with Grand Prix, then Knockout Tour. Played Free Roam in between. Unlocked Mirror Mode and now doing the Time Trials. Haven't played Online yet.
I am not going to buy the game this month. First I am going to finish Cuberpunk 2077 and Tears of the Kingdom. But with the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct last month I am looking forward to this game. I am still curious how the worlds compare to Super Mario Odyssey.
Bring it to Gamecube NSO. But that would be a first Sega game in a Nintendo NSO platform? Personally I would really like to see the Sonic Advance games added to GBA NSO.
I don't think the Switch 2's physical game cases are an improvement over the clear Switch 1 game cases. But I wouldn't do that much effort to change it. The Switch 2 cases are just fine
It's that the Switch 2 Editions like TOTK look awful. Too much information on the case/spine indicating it's a Switch 2 Edition. Cyberpunk 2077 looks cool.
@Simu001 Alien Isolation is not on the incompatibility list anymore, problem is solved.
I played Alien Isolation for a short time, seems to run fine. If it runs better I don't know. I don't remember there where performance issues on the Switch 1.
I don't know what to vote for yet. Also have to learn some new skills to better appreciate the courses. I do like Mario Kart World but for me Grand Prix is the worst part of the game. I started with Grand Prix and was confused about the wide and straight roads. But most of that is from driving from course to course.
I did some courses in VS mode and like the smaller courses like Shy Guy Bazaar and Toad's Factory. From what I have seen Great ? Block Ruins could become one of the favourites.
@harrystein "Rainbow Road is by far the worst. It's also the worst Rainbow Road in the series. It's way too long and boring."
Yes I don't understand why people like Rainbow Road. I do think the visuals and presentation are fantastic, but for me it is not fun to drive. It's too ambitious. I liked Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe more and even prefer the Rainbow Road from Super Mario Kart

Re: Hands On: Does Hollow Knight's Free Upgrade Make A Difference On Switch 2?

@LightSpirit Why is it rightfully so?
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Update Announced, Here Are The Patch Notes
@LightSpirit I did say that: "And as a consumer you can choose to play the game or choose another game.".
There is no reason and there shouldn't also be a reason to force developers to make a game for everyone.

Re: Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted Supports Local Co-Op And PvP Via GameShare
@Sylamp Good to know. Which eShop country page can I see this information? I don't see it mentioned on the Dutch eShop page.
I am definitely interested in the game if it has touch screen support. Mouse controls sounds great too.
Edit: Just watched the linked Youtube video, they mention touchscreen and mouse controls. Great.

Re: The Touryst: Deluxe Hits Switch 2 Next Week At 4K / 60fps

Re: Feature: 32 Games We're Dying To See On Switch 2
I don't understand why we haven't seen Fallout and Mass Effect on Switch 1 already. Those would be a safe bet on Switch 2.
Also really looking forward to playing the older/better Halo games in the series on the Switch.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Kirby And The Forgotten Land?
I already have Kirby and The Forgotten Land physical. I do prefer everything on the cartridge but could also pre-order the Switch 2 Edition for 45 euro. Otherwise I might have done the upgrade path. Probably selling the Switch 1 version.
Great game. Looking forward to the DLC.
Re: Switch 2 Has Sold "More Than 6 Million" Units, And Almost As Many Copies Of Mario Kart World

Re: Ubisoft Reportedly Cancels Star Wars Outlaws Sequel
@OrtadragoonX @mlt It seems rather more difficult to port for Ubisoft. The Jedi games are from Respawn Entertainment/Electronic Arts.
I do hope that Electronic Arts is going to bring the Jedi games to Switch 2 and Mass Effect Legendary Edition as well.
