@dartmonkey thanks! really appreciate the response

@dartmonkey do you know if you can load the game on a Switch lite if you buy it digitally? I have a Switch 2, but my daughter has a Switch Lite. Would it be safer to buy it on cartridge in order to share?

I have always found the icons and UI in every Sakurai game I've tried very offputting. It's always seemed strange that it's enough to put me off a game, but I really dislike them.

the game looks fun, but I'm not sure if I can get past it!

It’s such a fantastic game. I just wish they would update the resolution for undocked on Switch 2. It really doesn’t need any other Switch 2 updates, but the resolution is so rough.

Played the hell out of it anyway.

Man, I forgot chat even existed.

I'm saving or waiting for something else

I haven't even played or finished the previous game yet

No, I'm not interested

Ultimately price increases mean less games bought

I've been designing museum exhbitions for over 20 years. Its super weird to see a game about it. I guess I'll have to give it a go, just out of curiosity.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I'm totally with you.

It's like its meant to maintain peoples attention, but the only effect it has on me is to put off buying the game, which begins a process of waiting for the game to both be complete and on a deep sale.

I'm pretty sure that's not what they want.

Things like this are such a shame. I saw several reviews that meantioned the resolution on Switch not being great, so I decided not to buy it at launch. Now, especially with the release of Hades 2, its become a wait for sale game.

Releasing in a good state really matters.

There's a game I was eying a which ago - They always Run - looks kind of cool, but apparently had serious issues at launch. I cant find anything that says clearly if this has been updated, which I checked again when it was recently on sale.

I get that updates happen, but if you miss basic stuff at launch it can seriously impact sales, even in the long term.

I'll still be getting Shinobi, but now much later, when my avaialable tme co-incides with a decent sale.

absolutely adored Battle Chef. This looks less interesting, but I'm still keen, simply based on Battle Chef's briliance

Wasn't the original Pauline the lady kidnapped by Cranky in the original Donkey Kong? soooo... not the Pauline in Bananza.

Now its totally worth the price!

Feels like it would be a nice surprise if it was free.

Their insane new approach to pricing simply means that I will be buying less games. The DK DLC seems kind of like a bad jome to me.

I'm more likely to rebuy Resi: Village than I am to buy the Galaxy games.

Is it not weird that there isn't a Switch 2 version of the Galaxy games? Am I misreasing that?

Can you play it without an Ubisoft account?

after the underwhleming reception to the initial release, you'd think that Ubisoft would use this as an opportunity to turn the story around.

this looks amazing. Childhood dream come true.

Colour casting?

I’m pretty sure there are games with good covers art. Somewhere. Please find them.

$3.99 seems reasonable….

Wait, HOW MUCH???

The Wii wheel was pretty descent, comfortable to hold. I also recall in online matches players using motion controls would be awarded an icon, so it was clear who was using what in the rankings. And the motion controls were almost always the top positions.

So I disagree with a lot of what you say. Motion controls can take some getting used to, but they can work really well.

You left out the only thing that really matters for this review. These things are stupidly tiny! For adult hands my fingers have to cross awkwardly at the back or I have to hold them with my finger tips, an equally weird grip.

As someone who loves the original Wii wheel these were an utter disappointment. 3/10 for a motion control fan. Not fit for purpose, even if the way the joycons clip in is super satisfying.

Didn't he just blame the games lack of success on the fading popularity of Star Wars?

Does he think all the Star Wars fans moved to Nintendo?

Is he full of crap?

Its pretty bad for me. I've only experienced this on VR games and FPS games that play sub-30fps.

Was not expecting it. Really hoping tweaking settings will fix it, but honestly, it made me feel so bad I have not really wanted to go back.

the most effective petition is the one where you stop giving them money.

As others have pointed out, this statement does not engage with the core of the issue. No one was asking them to keeping servers on indefinitely.

Ethan Hunt started out in MI6? Well this blows things wide open!

I'm no fan of Randy, and I suspect he does not understand the outcome of his comment. He's right though.

There have been a lot of moves to capture audiences that lower the expected cost of games. Notably subscription services like Gamepass and PS+. I've just cancelled my subscription to PS+, because it has been having a negative imapct on my gaming time, especially as a busy father.

I was getting access to too many games too cheaply! So I wasn't enjoying them. I was trying out a lot and playing very few.

I nearly did not buy into Switch 2, but realised that my daughter is going to LOVE it for the next few years, so for me its totally worth it.

And that's the point. I made it work, because I'm a fan. And it was worth it to me. But what I suspect it will lead to is lower sales, at least at full price.

So yeah, Randy, your biggest fans will make it work. Let's see how big that audience is.

At this point it will be pretty frustrating for them to rerelease them. They should still do it, but I would have loved to have played through 2 and 3 over the last year, not so close to MP4.

This was the last chance to solve Japan's population crisis.

Dammit Nintendo. Doomed again.

Orange was easier to look at, but when your poll stacks colour against making it run better, theres no question.

Why do they design these online shops in a way that is entirely unable to handle loading content? Given that they are clearly pushing for an digital future, they really need to get this sorted out fast.

Admittedly, given the damage to my Switch’s screen, I’m not sure if the original Switch dock was fully compatible with the Switch in the first place.

Madness really. The only result I see from this is far lowere sales accross teh board.

Maybe I'm jsut speaking for myself. But I'm still getting the Switch 2 and the big games I know I'll love. But I'll take no chances with their approach to prices -

So for example I tried Hyrule Warriors on Switch. I did not liek it very much, personally. But I bought it. And Bowsers Fury, even though I'd completed 3D World on Wii U.

On Switch 2 I'll not be buying games like that. So more profit per unit, but far, far fewer units.

@RasandeRose I get what you're saying. The 8bitdo Ultimate controller allows for both options, and I personally have no issue with how it works.

I get your point on some tactile feedback, but they have all that fancy HD rumble tech that they barely use, which would easily provide that. Much the same as a Mac track pad.

My point is just that there are alot of solutions. The image of this long line of 'fussy' developers demanding that there not be analogue triggers is ridiculous, and definietly not the reason.

But that’s not true. It’s a nonsense answer. Analogue triggers can just be set to digital and they’ll register a press as soon as you move them.

ESWAT is fantastic.

The subscription model is not.

In South Africa, a relatively poor country with a weak currency, the Mario Kart bundle cost about 640 Euro.

Yay.

Man, South African prices are BRUTAL. The console, plus Mario Kart, Kong and a case are a months family groceries.

If my daughter wasn't 11 I think I'd wait a long time on this, but in a year or two she might not want to spend time playing Mario Kart.

You win, Nintendo.

Finally, power level 9000!

It's like 10 switches duct taped together!

Pixels!

Logical

Their decision making is so dull and corporate. Have some fun
Nintendo, you might like it.

It’s madly uninspiring. With so many handhelds coming out with great ergonomics, the only selling point for me is the exclusives and they’re so overpriced it’s off putting. I always have felt excited for new Nintendo hardware before this.

Man, Unity used to be such a dream tool. But I just can’t trust them anymore.

This deal is worse. Bow to your corporate overlords.

Wow that voice work was terrible.

Quite right, cancel it immediately.

It can’t possibly grow its audience over the next decade.

If Switch 2 can’t play a Wii U game at 60fps, I’ll be very disappointed.

I'm interested in Star of Providence, but my interest would increase significantly if it was complatible with the Flip Grip, in other words if you could rotate the screen.

I've seen nothing about that, so I assume you can't. Which is a bit of a pity.

Looks fantastic to me!

I just hope it doesnt scratch the screen and it allows space for screen protectors!

I had to ditch my dock, it ruined my screen and then cracked the protector I added to cover the scratches.

I would love the eShop to allow users to hide content to declutter things. the 'Never show me this again' button.

Define early adopter. Is it a day one buyer or a compulsive and wealthy Niontendo fan. Apple has proven that price point does not matter to a certain typoe of early adopter.

But Nintendo fans are different in a lot of ways and since they skew younger, are less wealthy.

I'm not young but will nope out hard at a certain pricepoint. and that pricepoint will be set by handhled PCs.

light grey SKU?
