I wish they nailed the open world a bit better, like switchup had some great suggestions there. The maps in grand pre are super super fun, I just wish though that some didn't repeat. Definitely good 8/10 from me, just like it felt mostly like a normal mario kart game though.
OLED is great, but everything I have seen on devices it usually causes battery life to get worse, and with it already being pretty bleh on switch 2 that was probably part of it. Though TBH switch oled had good life, idk if that just had a bigger battery or what
Is it just me or is the Sekiro/Soulslike genre kind of getting oversaturated. They all seem like well reviewed but like jeesh every company has one and they all look so similiar.
i almost hate these visuals, like they have a bit of the flash game aesthetic. However it looks like they have a lot of love and thought put into them so idk
It is kinda odd, the other games were lightly anime-ish, but kinda felt like their own thing too. This one just went like full anime and i'm not a huge fan.
They had a good way, if they would have just done every single preorder had to initially go through them and do priority that way, it would have been way simpler. I'm sure they could do that and figure out a way to still use partners like targe/walmart/bestbuy for shipping/pickup. That way we don't have the stupid rat race against bots on release day
I bought Yakuza, i'm not super happy about it, i just wanted one physical game and it was really the only one i was interested in that wasn't a pack-in or game i already own
i'm surprised the amount of yesses vs no people. I was just about to give up, target kept glitching out in checkout and people said their orders were cancelled so i stopped that. Walmart had just left me sitting in line, then same with bestbuy eventually. I randomly refreshed the walmart page and it let me in. I'm hopeful it doesn't get cancelled like peoples target orders though.
@The_Spanner it’s not a worry about money it’s just like a slap, like it’s partially a manual. I wouldn’t have care too much about it had it been included, would have been a really neat idea for a manual. But the fact that they are doing it like this just is a huge bad pr move in my book and I hope they can see that. Just kinda of an insultingly dumb decision.
The worst if you read the interview is his reason. " “As this game was being developed, what’s been packed into it is a depth of minigame experiences,” Bowser says. “They’re very deep, they’re very repeatable. And so, as we looked at that depth of play experience and opportunity, we felt that $9.99 was a fair price to ask for that.”"
Doug, we've seen the treehouse with the first few mini-games and they're the super super basic. Nothing at the level of Wii Sports, let alone wii sports wasn't half a user manual.
Gave it an 8, would better if they bundled something. I miss things like wii sports, where everyone played the game, and a good tech demo. The one they have doesn't even look that great and you have to buy it.
Also, the games announced mostly just look like switch games, though donkey kong looks pretty good.
This was so disappointing. Like "new zelda game!" "warriors" ugh. These all feel like they're taking the same game, adding new levels and replacing character models. Like it feels like the lowest effort version of a Zelda game.
I mean a large part of the west loves this and other anime style stuff, like I don't see what the problem was. It got great reviews in the west didn't it?
really underwhelming. Didn't hate it, but the best I can say is a few things I was like "oh neat". Dragon Quest, Patapon is pretty cool, Tomadachi was real interesting to see. Not a Metroid fan so that didn't grab me.
Everybodies golf, finally that came to the system. Doesn't look like it's running great though.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Hardware Chip Was Potentially Finalised As Early As 2021
@FormerGameAddict lol yeah honestly. It's kind of a wild choice too since in 4 years quite a bit can change
Re: Opinion: Nintendo's Forgotten The Game With The Most 'Switch 2 Edition' Potential
Along with that, they didn't run awful, but Pikmin 4 at 1080p/4k and 60fps would be such a better experience.

Re: Limited Run's Atlus Switch 2 Collector's Edition Is A 'Game-Key Card' Release
@KidSparta Man giving it 25 years is probably really really overestimating. I would be interesting if they do in the next 10, probably sketchy.

Re: Switch 2 'Welcome Tour' Estimated File Size Revealed By Nintendo
@Yoshi3 Yeah this is how I feel. If the game never existed it would have been far better for Nintendo's image than them charging for it.
Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Select Switch 2 Games Won't Support Cloud Saves
@Cathalm Yeah the other things are okay, but if it weren't for cloud saves I'd probably be okay canceling my subscription.

Re: Switch 2 Game Cart Max Capacity Is 64GB, Says CD Projekt Red
didn't the switch 1 max out at 64gb? So isn't this technically bad news since it didn't go up at all? Maybe Nintendo never actually launched that one
Re: Video: Street Fighter 6 Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2 & PlayStation 5)
