@-wc- Me neither, lol.

Then don't use it? I was already not really interested in the feature. It's mostly because I game when sitting on the couch. Mouse mode doesn't seem practical that way. And also don't play games that are designed for a mouse on a console. But a game like Civilization 7 seems more fun to play with Mouse Mode.

@CStallion It doesn't say download code. Probably is, but that isn't clear.

@MrCarlos46 Another new cartridge besides the faster red cartridge for the Switch 2? It seems easier to just put a Switch 1 cartridge in the box with an upgrade pack download code. Just saying

@Medic_alert It would be interesting if NintendoLife does some investigation on this. The Nintendo website is also vague. But yes if it was just a red cart that includes everything on the cartridge then it wouldn't need al the information on the cover making the artwork uglier.

@Dragwhite Why does that reveal that it is a Switch 2 cart? On the cover it says it is a Switch 1 game.

@HammerGalladeBro I think these physical Switch 2 Editions have the Switch 1 cartridge in the box. If that is the case you can use the game on both systems.

What are we ordering here? On the cover it says it includes the Nintendo Switch game and the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade pack. Is it just the Switch 1 cartridge and a download code for the upgrade pack in the box?

If I can start with Halo: Combat Evolved on a Switch 2 then that would already be amazing.

C for Calendar!

I think it is interesting. Then it is real news without all the rumours.

How is the battery life compared to a standard Switch Lite?

@ian_beale I can't help but thinking you are talking nostalgia. But there is nothing wrong with that. I can understand why you prefer Morrowind.

I think Oblivion is more easy to modernise. If something is incredibly dated it would take more effort. Also think the gameplay of Oblivion is a bit more forgiving than Morrowind.

But beside Skyrim we never seen remasters(/remakes) so it is interesting to see it finally happening. Hopefully Morrowind is next and I would also be interested in playing the Fallout games on a Nintendo platform.

@ian_beale Is your opinion based on nostalgia? I started with Oblivion so I rather see a remaster/remake of that. But seeing Morrowind on modern platforms would be interesting as well as I never played it.

@kfflscnt I didn't say that.

@Cathalm You see these same comments on every Ori article. Not something new.

@sanderev Whether you like it or not, the Switch is a hybrid (handheld and tv console).

I see a lot of negativity. Maybe understandable if you played THPS4 before. But for me it will be the first time playing it. I enjoyed 1+2 a lot so I don't think I will have a problem with the changes. And when people can play the game and form a judgment based on experiencing the game first hand it might not be so bad?

The thing I have with this 3+4 collection is if it is worth to get on Switch when a Switch 2 is around the corner? 1+2 was a good Switch port and I had no problem with lesser graphics in favour of handheld play. But for enjoying this games for the coming years I rather start with a Switch 2 version.

@Dimjimmer I didn't understand that at all. Sparks of Hope trailer just looked like a Switch game. But the one that I saw mention that was a big fan of Youtuber SwitchForce...

@obijuankanoobie Hopefully we know more with the Nintendo Direct in April.

@HeadPirate "It also doesn't look "deliberately bad". It looks like a game running on 8 year old hardware that was years behind when it came out. Which is it."

So it looks like Breath of the Wild or something?

I still think the problem is people buying from those scalpers.

@Rhaoulos Finally a release date for the complete edition! Haunted Chocolatier is scheduled for 2080?

@Yosher They will win you over when they add Yoshi to the game.

I don't know. Hopefully we know more information in April. We don't know any pro's or con's of playing Switch 1 games on the Switch 2. We know it is backwards compatible, but not how it works etc.

I don't think it is worth to sell the Switch after the Switch 2 is out. Also bought a Switch Lite last year. But if I will still use them a lot I can't answer yet.

Maybe it is because I don't have any nostalgia, I mostly skipped the DS and 3DS. But I don't see dual screen games coming to NSO/Switch 2. Maybe it is doable, but doesn't seem very practical on a single screen device.

@fox_mattcloud Correct, but I don't understand the slap in the face. It's possible I don't like that kind of fans. The game will play the same on Xbox and it doesn't matter if it is also playable on other platforms.

@ferryb001 Weird. On the iPad version you can place the finger on the screen and then move the finger to pan around.

Atari said the update contains: "Players can now touch their screen to quickly access and adjust menus, place pathways and scenery, and construct coasters." So that doesn't mention pan around. But still weird, they should just copy over all the touch screen functionality because this Classic version which was first released on Android/iOS is a touch screen game in the first place.

@ferryb001 You mean you can't move your current location with touch controls?

@TotalHenshin For me a complete on cartridge is fun to collect. But like others here said it is not always necessary or feasible. I do have physical games that I accept as complete that still have some minor unimportant updates. In the case of Stardew Valley Fangamer will probably release a physical version with 1.6 on the cartridge (currently it is 1.5) and I should be happy with that.

Revised consoles I normally don't care about but with the Switch I liked the better battery life and OLED screen when playing handheld. Previous consoles like the Game Boy Advance and Xbox 360 I only have the launch version.

@Monkeido Yes I prefer having everything on the cartridge if possible. Just thought that waiting a few years would end with a complete release of Stardew Valley. But it appears that is not the case. I just should buy it in the eShop some day. I also think with the Switch 2 coming up going digital makes more sense. It is indeed getting more uncommon for a game to release without any updates afterwards. Although my current collection of Switch games is like 50% complete on cartridge. Cool to have, but soon something from the past I expect.

@cedarhyped Didn't know that people can be so toxic here. Good evening

Just to be clear. I am not defending my own take at all. I just state why I probably never buy this game, what is wrong with that? I understand the developer and when I would develop a game myself with such success I wouldn't probably let go myself. So what is there to defend. It is not like I said something bad. I just prefer to play games that are finished. I also understand that fans that still play the game looking forward to new updates. Sorry if I have offended anyone lol.

@BANJO Good point, more competition would be better.

@BANJO I have the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One S. Also Game Pass Ultimate. Still haven't bought a current gen Xbox. I like the platform. But why are you torn? If you can play all those games on the Switch 2 you only need one console. Seems a win to me.

But maybe my take on it is different. I already saw no reason to buy a current gen Xbox. Most of the games I am interested in I can play on the Nintendo Switch as well. Also a lot of games still were released for the Xbox One. And the interesting games like Indiana Jones I can stream with Game Pass Ultimate. I am not attached to a specific console, but interested in the games only.

@yohn777 I have the European release which doesn't ask for updates when booting up the game. But that one does miss the DLC, correct. Have the Japanese version with DLC on the cartridge as well.

Indeed there is no problem, but I didn't understand why people here have to defend the choices of the Stardew Valley Creator in the first place lol.

@TotalHenshin I think the point is that it is a personal matter. There shouldn't be a problem with how others like their games.

@Monkeido The game is not complete on cartridge if it still gets updates. It is a weird take. But it is ok if you like the game as it is. No reason for a defence. I understand it is his game and he can do what he wants with it. If he likes to support the game for the coming 50 years, good for him

Yes, I do have BOTW complete on cartridge. But it still possible I buy Stardew Valley and then it would make more sense for me to just buy the game digital.

Not an Xbox hater and look forward to playing Xbox games on the Nintendo Switch 2.

That is ok, it is his game. But I will probably never buy this game because I am still waiting on a complete on cartridge physical release But I can understand it from his point of view. But as a gamer I like to play games that are complete and when finished I move on to the next game.

Yes, hopefully better support for the Switch 2. There are games I would have liked to see on the Switch. But if they don't support the system I can't buy them. I hope they have plans to release Mass Effect Legendary Edition on Switch 2.

I am not going to answer that. It will sell anyway on a platform that is similar to the current Nintendo Switch. It looked interesting when I first saw the game. If it will be available on the Switch 2 there is a possibility that I buy it.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one of my favourite games. The sequel I am enjoying less. But why would I be interested in a Mario Rabbids collection if I can play the older Switch titels via Backwards compatibility? Kingdom Battle still looks good to me for a 2017 game.

But in general I am not really interested in ports of games I already have on the Switch. I already played and finished them. And when I bought the games I was ok with the performance/quality of the game.

New games and ports that haven't released on Switch yet I am looking forward to.

I am hoping one of those EA games is Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor would be cool too.

@nocdaes Correct. But you started talking about it, not me. I don't care

@nocdaes Yes I noticed you believe that. I said it was never a thing.

@nocdaes Pro never was a thing.

@nocdaes You are excited for hardware and not the software? I will get excited when it has interesting games I want to play and can buy it in the store. Just weird to be not that excited anymore when it hasn't been announced yet.

@YoshiAngemon SwitchForce the Youtuber?

I will just expect a bad game again. Why hype it? It is ok. Still play Sonic Mania and Sonic Origins from time to time. But if they want to make something great like a Sonic Mania 2 of some sorts that would be cool.

With the Sonic movies Sonic is more popular, but that doesn't result in better games and those games will sell anyway.

@AstroTheGamosian You have a full month time to pre-order till 19th January 2025. I am probably going to pre-order this together with Shin Chan Shiro of Coal Town.

Edit: Now I don't know. Maybe I order it. But Shin Chan Shiro of Coal Town will also get an European release early 2025.
