Is there a Tuvix dating sidequest? Asking for a friend.

@TerribleTerabytes ...Fun?

At least Witcher 3 runs a lot faster on the S2! Much quicker loading times!

That thumb really is horrifying 😆

@TerribleTerabytes No it doesn't, it's a poll where the stakes couldn't be lower.

@Untempered-Link The Switch 2 is really best as a go-to for 5-10 year old games xD

Either way, that woman's hands are HUGE in that shot with her holding the tablet in front of her xD

I don't use the ones I already have, why would I buy another set? 😄

Sure didn't help that basically everything that's come out from Nintendo themselves was developed for the Switch 1, and that the tech specs are already outdated enough at this point where the normal question is what kind of steps are needed to get a newer game to perform on the 2 without losing too much image quality/extras/etc. I have one, and I can say easily that it's more of a Switch 1.5 more than anything else. I still use it to play Switch 1 games more than anything. Taking advantage of the S2's faster processor and stuff is great, but these games were more than playable already, so it's just extra icing on the cake.

@RiasGremory And Commander Keen!

@Phelaidar I just tried it and it seemed fine?? (definitely took some getting used to playing an FPS with the joycons so far apart compared to my using a Pro Controller all the time) I didn't feel like I was looking at anything aggressively lowres or anything.

@Phelaidar I play quite a bit on my Switch 2 (docked) and it looks as good as it's ever gonna for Turok 2, in a good way! I would suggest watching a bit of a recent playthrough on YouTube or something to see what you think!

YMMV has been around since at least the early 90s and more than likely way before during the Usenet days. Is this like the opposite of "Old man yells at cloud"? "Internet youth cries at pothole" perhaps? YOLO, TTFN.

@Murasaki_Nichirin It's a really well put together game, and feels like a labor of love!

Best purchase I made all year 😄

Sigh, everyone always gets that Miyamoto quote wrong... it's actually "Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going!"

@moonsider wow, I honestly thought it was just a pre-christmas extravaganza! I was so happy to see (and take advantage of!) that insane price! 😁

Wait, the Cyberpunk 2077 $17 deal was a mistake?? Glad I grabbed it!

For storyboarding and stuff, I really couldn't care less. In-game? No-go.

Cyberpunk 2077 is down to 17 bucks now, fyi

@Tasuki what was the controversy?

That opening animation looks so good, but is compressed all to hell 😢

@Liam_Doolan can you throw some NL weight around and yell at them about it? 😄

I was honestly stunned how buttery-smooth it played!

Thank goodness some mobile games play well on a Switch 2 😄

As someone who basically stopped playing FF games with 10, I was not used to having to dodge and move around so much while dealing with commands 😄 (also dangit Barrett, stop getting caught in the lasers after I run through!)

Still looks the same docked on S2, as bridge and building textures still have two pixels to their name. Here's to some updated/higher-res textures one day! 🤞

... But I want docked performance and visual updates...! 😢

@UpsideDownRowlet about 8GB, I think?

This demo is playing beautifully!

Booooooo, boring update! 👎

Where's Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Switch 2 demo? 😄

Literally never heard of MindsEye before this 😆 Don't know why the writer assumed everyone reading this also has a PS5...

(the glitch compilation video I just watched was pretty entertaining, though!)

@michellelynn0976 I literally said I was going to get it, just not for full price, which is a hefty price. Also, I've watched enough gameplay videos and well thought-out opinion pieces, and I know what I do and do not enjoy in video games, the entire desert 'thing' is incredibly unappealing to myself, and spending All. That. Time. crashing into green crystals looks like no fun and seems like something that should not be in a non-mobile game in 2025. As someone said, the entire desert environment looks like a solid generation behind the rest of the 'stages', wrt detail and immersion, and I don't disagree. The rest of the game visually looks amazing and I love the tracks I've heard on the Nintendo Music player. However, knowing that the enemy variety is minimal throughout, and that desert backtracking/back-and-forth/roaming takes up a considerable amount of playtime, plus that it's not even that long of a game it sounds, I can wait a little bit more. I am sure I will enjoy a lot of MP4 when I get to it, but after this long, I'm disappointed in what I've seen, and I can wait to spend less money on it than if I was truly excited.

A mix of clunky/handholdy/unfun game design and a high game price has me waiting on a MP4 discount at this point.

13 minutes! 😄 Yeah, that seems right.

Onto the ever-longer DekuDeals wishlist it goes!

"How many buttons would you like on your controller?" "How many ya got?"

The straws, so far from my grasp...!

Looks, uh, pretty cheap-looking :/

Finally gave into buying a 512GB ESD card so I don't have to bother with fiddling with a wee gamecard everytime I want to play it.

@Lord I've got those, and they are quite cool!

Just reading the section about the USB cables made my brain shut right off.

Did NOT expect them to reveal in the trailer that Samus is actually a stack of three raccoons inside that suit.

I picked up a pretty swanky stainless steel Metroid drink tumbler in the NYC Nintendo store last week and am Pretty Happy About That! (Oh, it's the same one seen on the JP site! Get yours today!)

(there's actually a whole corner of Metroid merch there so if you can hit it up!)

@HammerGalladeBro Yes, her mask comes off to reveal that Samus was actually the friends we made along the way.

That Switch2 version is so crisp! 👌

@DennyCrane it was a comment made in (semi)jest! 😄

If they had just made MP4 a Switch 2 exclusive there wouldn't be any of this confusion 😏

@StampGuy Often I think how much easier things would be to grab if I could just get out of the cart 😄

One other thing I hope they take the time to fix/adjust: the rumble effect kinda blows, it just gives a big BRRWWWW like a second after you get hit and it's SO annoying, had to turn it off. No subtlety, and it's the only rumble effect. They could have SO much fun with HD rumble effects and keep it interesting.
