So incredibly excited Can’t believe I decided to dip my toes into this franchise last October by trying RE4 which got a ball rolling and now here we are, I pre ordered the NS2 triple pack!
Game apparently looks horribly blurry and low quality at 60fps mode. It looks great at 30fps and 40fps mode however. (Been watching a stream showcasing the graphics after Reddit had a meltdown)
@PushMyGran86 no GKCs have the same issues most likely, unless they don’t use flash storage. What I’m saying is a digital purchase will most likely outlast a physical switch cartridge, especially with how Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation have stopped making new digital storefronts for every new console and now instead just continue to use the last one due to Backwards Compatibility.
@Strictlystyles why shouldn’t you get a broken product refunded? If they fix it later people can pick it up again. They shouldn’t be forced to be stuck with a broken product until it’s fixed.
@rawzeku funfact, a Switch 1 and 2 cartridge lasts up to 20 years before it will experience data loss and become unusable. By the time the eShop becomes unsupported a Switch cartridge is already unusable due to data loss.
@clianvXAi it’s a 7 because of handheld, Nintendo review websites tend to review the overall experience, not exclusively docked. Which is logical when majority or Switch/2 players play handheld according to Nintendo’s data.
Wouldn’t have clicked if the title would’ve mentioned the significance of the character within the story. Like I thought this was some minor cameo or side character getting spoiled. Not the twist villain!
@rawzeku when a game release has you excited but you’re not getting it because it’s digital only or a GKC I feel like you’re purposely withholding yourself from enjoyment.
I’ve been physical only for about 8 years and GKCs last year made me realize I’ve kept myself from some amazing games and amazing deals in that timeframe. I’m glad I finally stopped restricting myself and I recommend others the same.
I’m still playing through Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. Going for 100%. Besides that I’m playing through all 7 games in the Capcom Belt Action Collection with an American friend. The online is infinitely better than the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection.
Beyond that I’m excited for Resident Evil Requiem on Friday.
I’m surprised there wasn’t a bigger migration from PlayStation to Switch 2 with Like a Dragon. Guess that fanbase is more PlayStation loyal than DQ and FF fans.
I, myself, have migrated however after having been on PlayStation for LaD since 2015.
@johnedwin not my point. My point was that it’s commendable a game people have been able to play for 6 years now topped the charts in multiple countries.
Feels very tongue in cheek which isn’t uncommon for Yoko Taro. Kamiya has also loosened up on the blocking and it has basically changed from a genuine thing to a comedic bit.
@AlanaHagues I know comments are locked and I know the article mentions the “date none” option but it’s amazing you can also be ACE/ARO! That’s a step Nintendo is going beyond most other life sim games and I think it’s worth mentioning as ACE/ARO representation isn’t as good as other LGBT representation sadly.
@JumpingJackson Disney’s Magical Quest was a trilogy of Capcom games on SNES. The third game didn’t get released in the west until the GBA remakes. The Ilusion games are different games.
Hopefully they include the GB versions of all these games. And since Atari is handling this one instead of Capcom hopefully they include some non capcom games like Quack Pack and Gargoyles.
I’ve beaten this game twice on ps4 and twice on ps5. Once it hits a good sale I’ll beat it again on NS2. Preemptive 10/10 because I highly doubt it’ll be worse than my ps4 or ps5 experience.
I started Star Wars Outlaws on my Switch 2. 18 hours in so far and really enjoying it. Besides that not much else. I’m planning on starting Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty soon.
It’s the first RE and horror game I ever played and the only RE I played until I played RE4 last year. Also the only horror game I played myself until I played Omori when it launched on Xbox (not counting Amnesia The Dark Descent and Outlast as my mom played those while I gave instructions)
After beating Quantum Break and Pokemon Legends Z-A this week it’s back to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. I’ve also been playing through Mega Man X and decided to finally give Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 a go after not playing Fortnite for a month now.
Besides those I’m debating on finally starting Metal Gear Solid 2.
@UltimateOtaku91 there is an “endgoal” and “postgame” technically. Getting your island to 3 stars sets up a whole event that ends with a credit sequence and triggers more things past that point.
2 being a GKC after 1was just announced to get a full cart is shame but atleast 2 has the excuse of being an almost 90gb game with carts only going up to 64gb.
@MirrorFate2 PLZA is the most fun I’ve had with a pokemon game on Switch and 3ds, and I’ve played all games and their third versions except for Red/Blue, Yellow and Crystal.
Happy new year for everyone at NintendoLife, PureXbox and PushSquare!
May GTA VI finally release! May Pragmata be an amazing new IP! May Ace Attorney 7 finally be announced! May we get some amazing first party games from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony! And most of all, may we see little to none layoffs and may the AI bubble burst!
@Debo626 you are confusing the religious cross symbol with the cross shape. Both are a cross. The shape is diagonal, if it was straight the shape is called a plus shape.
@Jack_Goetz according to leaks they’re introducing 16gb, 32gb and 128gb so both bigger and smaller However a lot of the GKC games would’ve fit on the 64gb cart and are too big for the 32gb cart so saying the new sizes will fix the issue is very optimistic and naive 😂
@pjoreilly great article. However I see it was pre written since Stardew Valley Switch 2 Edition is in the runner ups for 2025 games that didn’t make 2025. It released yesterday 🫣

Re: Fallout 4 Switch 2 Launch Trailer Gives Us A Better Glimpse At The Wasteland
@hXcBoomstick it looks mainly blurry AF at 60fps. I’ll probably stick with 30fps mode.

Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade
@TerribleTerabytes well clearly Nintendo agrees with the complaints and issues because they’re granting refunds, something they rarely, if ever, do.

@FrenchVaniIIuxe a remake changing things is not censorship. It’s taking creative liberties.

Re: UK Charts: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Plummets As Familiar Faces Retake The Podium
Still respectable it got 2nd place at all for a port 6 years after the fact.

Re: Poll: What Nintendo Switch 2 Games Are You Most Excited For In 2026?
Short term it’s Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Pragmata, Resident Evil 9, Dragon Quest 7 and Yakuza 3.
Long term will depend on what’s announced in the alleged direct next month.

@axelhander you can get that one in the Disney classic games collection. They added the Capcom versions of Aladin as DLC alongside The Jungle Book.

Re: Switch 1 & 2 Dominate Famitsu's Best-Selling Games Of 2025 List
Most surprising thing here is the Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition not making the list.
EDIT: scratch that, the most surprising thing is MHW not breaking 1m sales as Japan adores that franchise.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (DS)
100% so far for Japan and Europe. Not surprising. The NA one is just a nothing burger, and not even a stylistic one like NA MGS1 or mainline FF.
