@SalvorHardin oh, I know. Every game company does something really cool and a bunch of stuff that's really dumb and not even in their own best interests. I'm just making a list of good policy decisions for my future mega-corporation. I mean, I can't think of another good policy Ubisoft has implemented in a decade or more, but I wish that Sega and every other company would follow suit on this one. Preservation is important! Just ask a Doctor Who fan
@anoyonmus yeah but Sega let Sonic fans make their own game and then PUBLISHED it, and realistically you shouldn't let Sonic fans make anything just take my word for it.
I hate that it's been longer since the 3DS remake came out than it had been since the original came out when the 3DS version came out. What a lousy sentence I've made.
If you took one infinitesimally small slice of every game company's strategy and Voltronned them together you'd have a really solid and sustainable business model.
@DennisReynolds isn't the game crashing because you played it too long just a feature of all Bethesda developed games? I'm pretty sure they're still using the same game engine from when the events of Indiana Jones and the golden circle occurred. Not from when they made it, from 1937.
@CHAR1ZARD9 this is it. Unless the way they run Minecraft has radically changed it will be a free upgrade. I'll probably even be able to use my Switch 1 cart to do it. The goal is to get you access to the minecoin marketplace. (Which is totally optional)
@Friendly BG3 probably isn't coming, sadly. Hasbro needs Larian for that and they burned that bridge then swam across the river to spit in Larian's face.
@GoldenSunRM I love free roam mode, especially now that there's a tracker, but I just don't care about any of the rewards. I'm usually all about just doing things for the sake of a challenge, but a sticker that you can barely see on your kart feels almost like an insult. It feels like this is where you'd be getting parts to customize your kart, but that's been strangely removed entirely. It's not the world that feels empty, it's the game itself. Mind you, I still really love the game, it's just got a lot of baffling design choices holding it back.
Edit: and I'm real sore that you can't play free roam split screen, because that would be amazing.
I love MKW and it's probably my favorite entry in the franchise, but when Nintendo stated specifically that this was the big game that needed to be 80 dollars because it had so much content I was shocked at how little actual content there is. I was certain we would be getting periodic updates, that must be where the content is, right? I mean, surely Donkey Kong and Pauline will get additional outfits when Bananza comes out, right? I don't need new tracks, there are honestly plenty, but there's still so much... emptiness. I still love it but it kind of seems abandoned.
@Jireland92 idk man, I think you're generally right but the Borg have been ripe for horror since I was a child. Idk if it will be good, but space is scary even if the culture you come from is a utopia.
If you had told me in 1996 that we'd be getting a star trek survival horror game starring Ensign Ro I would have been confused because I didn't know what a survival horror game was but also confused because I thought I was the only person who liked Ensign Ro.
@Duncanballs The fact that they don't contain the actual data and only act as a key to activate a mechanism might evoke a card of a different type of physicality I'm afraid...
@XenobladeKisekiFan It's still a really really good game. Even in the state it's in it is worth playing in my opinion. I'm not going to tell you to go play it on the GameCube like some might, the Switch version was fine for me.
@coolioam that's good. I like everything else about them so I think I'm just a little extra saucy about it since I really need something like this and it's SOOOO close to perfect. And I hate that font so much. (Actually even the font is cool, it just looks so off when everything else on the controller is so accurate to the Switch 2)
@X68000 you're def right about Carrey. He loves making these movies. I'd love to see him do Dr Wily! I really wouldn't be surprised if he only plays Robotnik for the rest of his life though.
@acNewUpdates it's all the extra words in the title we're paying for. Its full title is Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Meetup in Bellabel Park: Haunted Chocolatier
I was going to say that part of the reason many games ported to PS5 run like crap is because Sony doesn't play nice when getting ports from Microsoft (Minecraft for PS4 was a years long debacle, and it STILL doesn't run right,) and almost seems to sabotage any crossplay they get (not relevant to this game, just an example of Sony's "does not play well with others" ethos,) but then I remembered this is a Bethesda game and it will never be fixed because they're all built like Rube Goldberg Machines. I'mma' get it.
@PKDuckman thank you for this comment, I've been waiting for a sale on 2 for like a year! I've had to delay my 5 year plan to get my wife to play Minecraft with me and it's the final step! (Step one, Chrono Trigger, step 2, DQ 11, Step 3, Diablo 3, step 4 BOTW, step 5, DQ Builders 2. She was a non gamer and now I'm so close!)
@StarCollector oh yeah I know the deal with the switch 1 version, I just know that for a long while there the bedrock version, which is the console version, had done really serious corruption bugs that they didn't address for a really long time. It went on for so long that it got to the point where 99% of the replies on any social media post by the Minecraft team was just "fix bedrock" and other variations of that. I was getting ready to start a new world with a friend of mine and we had to quit.

Re: More Switch Games Receive Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility Fixes
