@Hank_Scorpio Yeah, but I can still buy candles if I want. I agree electric lighting is, more conventient but more expensive, but I don't mind paying extra for that.
The point is, you can still buy candles. And nobody is hiding the matches or the lighters, so I can still light my candles if I want to.

The worst problem about physical media disappearing is that you take away choice and create a monopoly at the same time. I can buy any new game on disc for less than the digital release in the PlayStation store. And I'm getting a box and a disc that I can hold on to. I want to be able to have options.

@IronMan30 On X there are about 30k angry remarks under their announcement in just two hours. I really think they underestimated the blow back.

It also makes no sense as 80% of PS5s sold are the disc versions. They always show numbers of 90% digital sales on games, but that is including PC sales and most of the digital stores are filled with cheap indie games. I'm really curious about the sales of triple A titles and the disc vs digital sales.

If you look at the comeback of cd's and vinyl, it makes no sense to go fully digital. People want options and they value their physical media.

It has made me rediscover my entire Switch collection, especially since boost mode. I think I've bought more Switch 1 games this past year than Switch 2 titles. I've put an obscene amount of time in replaying Animal Crossing so most of my Switch 2 games are waiting to be played.

Grid Legends and Mortal Kombat Legacy collection have been my other 2 faves. I want to play Pokopia, but it's June, so I have more fish to catch in AC!!!

If Nintendo releases a Switch 2 with an OLED screen, more storage space and a better (and removable) battery, this will be my favorite console ever!

The best thing about the old PES games was that you could design your own kits and create players, teams and stadiums. Is that still possible?

I want to love this, but if it's a remake, then it's a 1 hour game. Star Fox was never a long game. Hope we get some extra levels.

@Serpenterror I know, I love this collection. But the code in a box version is €14,99 for both 1 and 2. So you get 60+ games. (and their Japanese counterparts) And this is just half of that for €45. Still a good deal, and I love physical games, but the price difference is just too big to justify buying this. If it was just €15 to €20 more expensive than the CiaB version I wouldn't have hesitated.

@breach187 Yeah, I bought the 1 & 2 double pack Code in Box version last weekend for €14,99. I'd rather have a physical but I'm not paying €64,99 for that privilege. This release makes no sense.

@Luigia Since it has an arcade style handling, it should work just fine. Cornering is all about hitting the brake, drifting and accelerating out of the corner. You're probably going to miss a bit of finesse.

Such a good game! It really nails that arcade handling. I wish they would use this engine to build a proper 90s arcade racer.

The DLC was fantastic too, so I'm definitely double dipping. Bring it on!

Does anyone know if you get the Deluxe Edition if you upgrade the Deluxe Edition on cart? Or is just the vanilla version available on Switch 2?

The website has 11 pages of hentai games to check for compatibility

Let's hope none of them work on the Switch 2

@Suketoudara I know, but showing off footage of Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam in the beginning and then following it up with these cheap looking indie games was a big disappointment.

Why buy the name if you're not going to do anything with the legacy? The SSX Tricky game and the basketball game had potential with a better graphical style. Make a Burnout game and call it Crashout or something.

That was horrible! The presentation itself was fantastic. Pity they only had these cheap looking mobile games to fill it with.

Non of these scream Acclaim to me. And the generic SSX Tricky Clone was perphaps the most disappointing.

@progx Maybe they're testing the waters. These are both high profile titles and they want to see which option is best for future releases.

@Sanangelo89 Yeah PS5 also has a storage problem. I don't have glass fibre internet yet, so installing 120GB takes a few hours.

I never said it's a Switch 2 issue, but the lack of storage is something that is keeping me from just purchasing more games at the moment. So that's entirely personal.

I also don't entirely hate Keycards. It's a better solution than code in a box, but I'd rather have a game on cartridge to save space. Yakuza 0 also took me 3 hours to install.

@Sanangelo89 Well, yes and no. I have about 4 or 5 games on my PS5 that I play that get erased when I'm done. Those are mostly big adventure games like God of War. But I also have about a dozen games that I just want to boot up whenever I feel like it. Comfort games like Tekken and NHL, that I regularly play for about half an hour.

The same goes for my Switch. Let's say 60% for games like Mario Kart World, that I can boot up whenever and 40% for games like Hogwarts that I just play for a few weeks or months and then get erased. I don't want half my memory wasted on one NBA game.

@SillyG I thought 64GB is the maximum size for Switch 2 cards

@SillyG That still requires a 59GB download

I really want to buy more Switch 2 games, but memory restrictions are really holding it back. I've got 512GB in my Switch 1 and that is more than enough. My Switch 2 has a 256GB microexpresssd (or whatever we are supposed to call that card). And that is more than 60% full with just Street Fighter 6, Yakuza 0 and Hogwarts.

@Emperor-Palpsy That's exactly what I was thinking. It looks horrible. And a game like pool is even lower res by the looks of it.

No idea why they dare to call this a Switch 2 upgrade.

Oh great! The Switch 1 version was like 60GB last year, so this will probably be over 115GB. It will probably look fantastic, but my memory is too precious.

@NintendoPete Just beware that the discount works like the old Gold Points system. If someone claims it, it won't be available for anyone else.

@Jprhino84 It looks horribly low res and blurry if you set it to 360p on Youtube

I ordered this case and it's amazing. Feels really high quality. Easily the best case on the market right now (Yeah I know, it's the only one I tested

@Dev-N Same! I want to love this theme, but it's just so hard to read in the dark. I hope they fix this.

I really want to like this game, but the framerate is all over the place. The new options don't improve things much. There is now a locked framerate with a shorter draw distance, but that still feels sluggish.

@Jedrus_Lilac This is what the system should be! They save on expensive cartridges, so the Nintendo tax can be axed!

@WhiteUmbrella @SillyG For me Key Carts make sense for games like Call of Duty, Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8, which are constantly being updated. The base game on the cart would be obsolete in a few weeks time. I think what Capcom is doing with Street Fighter 6 is the right way to go. You get the full game with the season pass on a key cart. They save money on the cart and you pay less that you would if the full game was on a cartridge.

For something like Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S it makes no sense.

So Nintendo was on to something with the key carts, like @Makyurax says, you get a physical license for games that would otherwise never get a physical release. Or you could get a discount on a game that would otherwise be more expensive to produce.

To everyone abusing this system (I'm looking at you Sega!), just let them know by not buying the key carts.

I’m not keen on the Key Cart idea, but honestly most games nowadays have so many updates that the 1.0 version on the cart is outdated by the time you buy it. Look at something like Mortal Kombat 1, No Man’s Sky or Ark. The version on the cart is useless because the latest version is so different.

I would love to see Buggy Boy get some love!

Looks cool! Can't wait for the review

I like the idea, but it feels a bit like 'you know what, lets just do retro, saves us doing a ton of animation frames.' It just looks a bit choppy. But the character designs are pretty cool.

Same here! The lag is horrible! Steer clear!

@BigDong420 "a bit bland and underwhelming." That pretty much sums up every game that Milestone has ever done

Looks cool, but why mess with that Dragon Logo? That cyberdragon is so wrong.

The retail version was released two weeks ago over here and it plays great. I've had Mega Turrican crash on me once and somehow the roll buttons doesn't always work on Turrican I. But it's still version 1.0, so I hope they fix that.

I'm also missing Gameboy Turrican and the two C64 versions! (in addition to Super Turrican 2)

The only Nascar game I want is a new Daytona USA where you play as Ricky Bobby

@GrailUK Yeah, Bob Wakelin's (RIP) cover suckered me into buying that crappy game.

I played this so much on my C64. Not because it was such a great game, but because I paid for it with my own money. I actually wanted to buy Delta, but ZZAP! 64 gave it a mixed review. Regretted the decision after playing Galivan for a few hours.

@jump Yeah without the sandwich (which served no purpose in the whole commercial whatsoever) it would have been a way less creepy toy. He looks like Chucky with a different head.

@6ch6ris6 Yeah and after the latest update it keeps whining that I can't link it to my Epic Games account, because it's already linked to my epic games account, so I now I can't get past the SIGN IN screen.

Main character looks like Orko from He-Man

@Toshiro_Baloney I didn't think too much of it. It's a pretty shallow experience and with all the blood flying around I found it frustrating to focus on the puck. It's a gimmick game that works best in short burst with two players. It's fun for about half an hour.

@BabyYoshi65 I went back to mine and I got a message that someone had cleared up all the weeds. I think this came with the Welcome Amiibo patch.

@Kiz3000 Yeah Giana Sisters is great! Buy it!

That Zipper Bunny DIY Recipe was worth 9.600 bells! Even after crafting all the bunny day items I could still craft about a dozen Zipper Bunnies. I sold all of them and all the Bunny day items for tonnnnnnnnnnns of bells!

It does have the worst UI font ever! The contrast makes it hard to ready anything. It's a cool game, but I felt I was running around looking for microscopic little switches more than I should have. Creature design is wicked though.

Yeah, played it and got a whole lot less excited. Framerate feels well below 30fps and the textures are horrible. On screen text (weapon overheating in particular) is hard to see in hand held mode. And it doesn't feel like Contra.

Friday the 13th came a day early!

@bombjack It had a code that made it run at 60FPS Worked amazingly well.

Change frame rate to 60fps
Press Up, A, Down (x2), Left, Right, B (x2), Down at the title screen. (A tone confirms correct entry.)

Virtua Fighter makes sense. I want a new Daytona more than anything though.

@JoeDiddley And the stupidest thing is, they have this whole area with arcade cabinets, that does absolutely nothing. So why build that in the first place if you have no intention of adding an arcade mode. Makes no sense to me.
