@gsilver yes I have to say clair obscur has to be one of the best value games I’ve bought in ages. Got it preordered at £40 and worth every penny!

On PlayStation I’ll likely keep buying lots as good deals can be found months after release on most physical games.

On switch 2 I expect I’ll buy less first party due to the higher prices and the fact Nintendo games barely decrease in price. I didn’t mind that so much at £35, but at £60+ I’ll struggle to pull the trigger unless it’s a must have like MP4.

As nice as this would be I’d imagine it’d need to be quite lower resolution to handle it, seeing as it took the ps5 pro to make it run well!

@Spider-Kev sorry for interrupting and I won’t spoil too much but yes there are planets from the first films. Tatooine being one.

Don’t expect a Jedi game but I thought this was superb. The story intertwines with major original characters.

Personally I loved this game and may well double dip to replay portably. Hope it’s not a key card though.

This was Nintendo trying be be cool and it worked!

I only have eyes for Clair Obscur, hope switch 2 gets a port!

Is no surprise at all considering Nintendo sue everyone these days.

I’d take a portable far cry please ubi…

i just like the ability to re-sell so atleast key cards work in that respect.

Have the US tariffs for consoles actually been implemented yet though? I thought they’d been postponed?

@sanderev good to hear thanks for letting me know! The slow download speeds on S1 actually put me off a few purchases in the past.

@IOI ah yes good point which I hadn’t considered! It could be the S1 had a poor WiFi chip.

Hopefully S2’s is better!

The main thing that needs to be improved is Nintendo’s servers.

They are so slow to download it’s painful. My ps5, phone or whatever are all infinitely faster on the same connection.

Come on Nintendo time to upgrade those windows 95 bad boys!

Ooh yeah I’d love a portable version of this on switch 2. I def double dip for that!

@Mommar nice, let’s vote with our wallets!

I’m not massively interested in this but I may pick it up just to support the fact they put it on a proper cart!

Nintendo show such a lack of class and respect when it comes to credits. Poor show.

Please understand, you need to do better.

Wave race and pilotwings for me please!

Wow how out of touch can Atlus be? Don’t they know what collectors want? Obviously not.

The fact this is 250 and comes with a key card is an absolute piss take. I really hate the greed in gaming.

Pro controller and micro sd express for me!

@gazamataz exactly what I was thinking!

Doug sorry to say but that whole quote is waffling gibberish.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for me. Is brilliant so far and worthy of the hype.

Hope switch 2 gets a port!

Edit: @Kraven just read your comment, totally agree about expedition, what a debut release this is for the devs. Can’t wait to see what else they’ll come out with!

There’s definitely some number gymnastics going on here.

Japan have sold about ~35m units. Nintendo say over 150m have been sold globally so that equates to about 23% of sales.

That’s quite below the 33.34% that makes a third.

@N00BiSH hah true I was being generous!

This is hilarious though I’d like to think in reality Nintendo will give Sakurai a switch 2 at launch for free.

If they don’t they really have become as greedy as we’ve feared.

I was considering this game but will get it on ps5 if this is the switch situation.

Well done marvellous, this is indeed marvellous, ahem.

So if I get a “free” Zelda upgrade with my online expansion pack but then the subscription expires, what happens to my Zelda?

Does it revert to the Switch 1 version or are Nintendo generous enough to let me keep the S2 upgrade? (Probably not I guess?)

I already have a game key card called Indiana jones on the ps5.

It has 20gb on the disc and 100gb download.

As a consumer I don’t like this practice.

@Suketoudara hah you’re probably right!

If a game should have ever been a pack in game - it’s this one.

Bowser clearly doesn’t have the influence Reggie had with Nintendo Japan.

Oh wave race how I miss you!

@OorWullie yeah agree. Hopefully this ups the game for Nintendo and they make the best Mario yet!

(Also if you get a chance play astrobot if you can!)

@JohnnyMind exactly. I know Nintendo have brought a massive amount to the gaming world but I think they go too far sometimes.

Dr Mario was their clearly plagiarised own version of Tetris.

I think Nintendo need to bring their AAAAA game as astrobot reached new heights.

I’d love to know what Nintendo made of that internally!

“you wouldn't ask someone to "stay tuned" for a three-year wait, right?”

Nintendo would, yes.

@CammyUnofficial thank you, appreciate your feedback!

@kal_el_07241 I agree ghost of Tsushima is great but it’s sony first party so very unlikely to make it to switch 2…

@jfp haha I think you and I are alike you know after reading your comment! 🤣

Yesterday I decided to buy an SD express card so for now I’ll take your advice and wait to try one out first. They do look slick though!

@CammyUnofficial how are you finding SMRPG?

I have it in my backlog and not got round to it yet but might get to it next. Agree, grateful for all these great games but lack the time to play them! Is a good problem to have…

I’ll be continuing either FF7: Rebirth, Indiana Jones or Metroid Prime remastered. Good times!

@Poco_Lypso fair enough but if you’ve only seen it in videos and not played it you should give it a chance if you see it cheap. Honestly it surprised me massively!

Love that these have improvements to the sticks but it’s not helping me!

I’m trying to talk myself out of buying a S2 pro controller as I already have the S1 version and is largely a waste for me to just gain a C button I won’t use.

Though these articles are pushing me closer to spending the money regardless!

/first world problems

@Varkster yes but that’s the point, this isn’t a Jedi game and wasn’t supposed to be. It’s about being a smuggler weaving through various OG Star Wars characters stories.

People thinking this is another fallen order are missing the point.

@Rpg-lover out of interest why didn’t you like it?

I saw all the negativity online but went for it anyway and it totally surprised me. I thought it was excellent and it totally broke from the usual Ubisoft open world formula of FC, AC etc.

I feel the game gets lots of unfair criticism just because it’s Ubisoft.

Such a good game, I’m even thinking of double dipping to play in handheld mode!

Got myself a Samsung Q90D 55” last year and love it. It’s well set up for switch 2 with HDR 10, VRR, 144hz etc, bring it on!

I mean at this stage aren’t we more interested in Witcher 4?

3 has been done and dusted many times over by now.

Nintendo have literally become the most greedy company in gaming.

It happens time and time again offer such success - these companies become arrogant, greedy and/or complacent.

It’s not a good look Nintendo.
