Atleast a grunt. It's insane to me that these games still sell like hotcakes when it seems like plenty parts of it are so dang lazy or not invested into. I mean it's working so I guess I can only fault them so much.
I just can't believe they we don't have more switch 2 upgrades, or Nintendo talking about a way to natively improve it better like a handheld mode that simulates switch 1 docked or something.
I remember they worded it as like "free to start" or something, and hoped it was like a normal game that you could play so long then would be required to guy eventually. Sad to see it's just slop. idk why Nintendo lets themselves take these reputation hits.
Bowser seems kinda lame. We had Reggie who got us wii sports packed into the wii and made such a big impact. Then we have Bowser who couldn't even get the switch 2 manual packed in with the switch. Maybe Bowser did a bunch, but if his name wasn't Bowser I probably would have no idea who the president of noa was.
i'm excited for mario galaxy 2, and the new Yoshi game, but outside of that it was just like mostly things we already knew about, and far out release dates
aggrevating that there aren't more switch 2 ports. I mean we have a huge library which is great, it just irks me that we easily could have had more upgrades if Nintendo wanted to share dev kits.
Looks decent. Were the textures always that kinda muddy looking or is that a switch thing? Like the first 10 seconds, the walls look like a ps2 game lol
I haven't played for like over a year and I jumped back in, played the new intro level, then now i'm not really sure what i'm supposed to do. Need to look around some more.
I get the tightrope you walk, like it would be odd if you threw mario in a wheelchair but yeah easily could have done Miis, or just made other cute characters. Literally anything other than this pre-alpha looking design.
@Lemmy_the_Koopa haha yeah, today I'm announcing that i'll still go to work, despite that silksong is coming out. Thank you for your attention on this matter
@MattmanForever I can't say myself, but also, looking at the youtube comment section basically any comment on it is someone disagreeing and saying it looks like 30fps to them so IDK, i'm going to guess 30 from everything I see as well but i'm just some dumb guy on the internet.
Anyone else notice that literally they can't shoot anything in the trailer? Like they miss way off every shot like they can't show someone being hit in the trailer
I like it a lot, but I also hate that 80% of the games are just like brutally difficult 2 seconds in. Like it's kind fun an funny for some, but not most.
that said, it's a super awesome concept. I might just need to get good.
Im glad they called out the aesthetics, this looks liek the design you would use for an alpha build. Why was nintendo possibly thinking. I get not wanting to put mario in a wheelchair or something but like the other option is lifeless robots?
Drag X Drive is a fun enough idea, but the only way it would have even been a great success is if it were a packin. It's just got so much against it. it's a really really cool use of mouse mode but, the art design is awful and doesn't look at all like nintendo, the name eh, it feels like it's really iffy for any portable play and overall just kinda an oddball game idea that will be hard to attract people to.
@jakubzet Yeah the world of AI gaming slop is still in infancy, but in 5 years I can't imagine the stupid BS people will throw on the app store. it's already bad but it feels like we're at the top of this hill atm.
Better than the last but not by a lot. It was way too short, and not totally for lack of content either, the sizzle reel games that were bafflingly on the sizzle reel all had full trailers released afterward. Does someone at Nintendo like have it out for UFO 50?
@Suketoudara Dude I'm so confused. Nintendo acts like they're paying for airtime on the superbowl. What's the harm with making larger announcements for games? Almost all those sizzle reel games have full trailers. The only thing I can think is they're like charging these companies more for more time on the direct or something.

Can they stop doing the bare minimum design work like they had to make the game on a shoestring budget
Re: Even Memes Are Getting The Metroidvania Treatment Now
I mean i dig the art style

Re: Nintendo Reportedly Increases Switch 2 Production To 25 Million Units For Year 1
@TheExile285 Yeah and honestly i'd pay for some, just wish they would actually do it!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Operation C / Probotector (Game Boy)
NA one is definitely the best. No idea if it's the most accurate or not considering the vast difference with the EU version
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Super Mario's 40th Anniversary
i'm excited for mario galaxy 2, and the new Yoshi game, but outside of that it was just like mostly things we already knew about, and far out release dates
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Bundle Confirmed For Switch, Launching October
So i wonder, is the original galaxy improved at all since the other release or is it the same deal outside of a resolution bump.
Re: Dragon Quest VII Gets Reimagined For Switch And Switch 2 In Early 2026
that's a strong art style. I love hd2d but i'm glad we're still getting unique looking remakes outside of it.
Re: Round Up: Every "Exciting New Game" From The Acclaim Showcase
Man they all mostly look just kinda meh, like recreations of indie titles. There were a couple that had some interesting takes though so not all bad.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct September Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
Atleast give me a PIkmin 4 switch 2 edition
Re: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?
aggrevating that there aren't more switch 2 ports. I mean we have a huge library which is great, it just irks me that we easily could have had more upgrades if Nintendo wanted to share dev kits.
Re: "I Can't Afford To Give It Away For Free" - Silksong's Low Price Is Causing Devs To Re-Evaluate Their Own Games
It's an interesting conundrum. I'm unsure why they didn't do $30
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
very exciting!
Re: Video: We've Played Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2 - Here's 16 Minutes Of Gameplay

Re: Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac Looks Waka Waka Wonderful In New Gameplay Trailer
Idk but the platforming looks stiff. Just looks like it didn't have much love.
Re: Review: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion (Switch 2) - Decently Deep Mech Combat, But Clunky In Parts
@MasterGraveheart I'd say this could definitely be a 6, but the negatives are partially fixable and not really dealbreakers.
That said, the demo felt kinda switch1-ish but i didn't get too far. Screenshots in this look nice

Re: Talking Point: Would Drag x Drive Be Better With Miis Or Non-Mouse Control Options?
I get the tightrope you walk, like it would be odd if you threw mario in a wheelchair but yeah easily could have done Miis, or just made other cute characters. Literally anything other than this pre-alpha looking design.
Re: Publisher Acclaim Is Set To Host Its Own Showcase Next Month
@OLD64FOREVER Yep that's the thing I want most. I'm glad switch as paradise, but I would want 3/Revenge

Re: Anniversary: The First DS Castlevania Game Turns 20 Today
Man idk why they don't hire some small teams to make some great 2D castlevania games still. It feels like it could be done fairly cheap.
Re: Demonschool Gets Last-Minute Delay To Avoid Silksong
Man screw that, Demonschool looks way cooler. I wasn't a huge fan of the original Hollow Knight either.
However, maybe like a week or 2 after? But months? Jeesh
Re: Video: We've Played Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade On Switch 2
@Serpenterror did they confirm no physical release?
Re: Video: We've Played Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade On Switch 2
@MattmanForever I can't say myself, but also, looking at the youtube comment section basically any comment on it is someone disagreeing and saying it looks like 30fps to them so IDK, i'm going to guess 30 from everything I see as well but i'm just some dumb guy on the internet.
Re: Video: We've Played Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade On Switch 2
@MattmanForever oh I missed him saying 60fps in the video what the heck lol, well hopefully that's correct.
Re: Video: We've Played Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade On Switch 2
@JokerCK I mean it could be beta or they could be wrong, but literally in the article Felix claims in person it's 30fps.
Re: Video: We've Played Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade On Switch 2
sad it is only 30fps
Re: Review: Chibi-Robo (GameCube) - A Charming Game About An Altruistic Robot Or A Shambolic Scavenger Hunt?
my only sadness is it doesn't have a widescreen mode
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong "Special Announcement" Is Coming Today
I wish i liked hollow knight more, but I'm excited for everyone who has been waiting on this.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Offers Buttery Smooth Performance On Switch 2
it's really embarrassing if this doesn't run at 120fps.

Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
It was pretty good. While i'm still not really wow'd by the game itself, I think it looks like a cool release.
Re: Anniversary: n-Space & Nintendo's M-Rated GameCube Gem Is 20 Years Old
i'd love to see this on switch.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
Drag X Drive is a fun enough idea, but the only way it would have even been a great success is if it were a packin. It's just got so much against it. it's a really really cool use of mouse mode but, the art design is awful and doesn't look at all like nintendo, the name eh, it feels like it's really iffy for any portable play and overall just kinda an oddball game idea that will be hard to attract people to.

Re: Forget Silksong, This New Terminator 2D Overview Trailer Looks Stupidly Good
Another one that would have been way more exciting than 90% of the announcements today. Idk if this would be considered an indie or not though.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase August 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
Better than the last but not by a lot. It was way too short, and not totally for lack of content either, the sizzle reel games that were bafflingly on the sizzle reel all had full trailers released afterward. Does someone at Nintendo like have it out for UFO 50?
Re: 'Mina The Hollower', Yacht Club's Retro Zelda-Inspired Adventure, Scores Switch 2 Release Date
Excited to try this. I couldn't totally get into shovel knight for some reason but i like the style
Re: Fifteen Years In The Making, Caves Of Qud Is Finally Coming To Nintendo Switch Later This Year
Another really interesting one that got relegated to a sizzle reel. Like they saw all the interesting games and said give them 5 seconds max.

Re: UFO 50 Gets A Surprise Shadow Drop On Switch Today
i'm happy about this, but i'm angry about how it was announced
