@Medic_alert actually I’m not sure. Last time I was looking at buying one years ago they didn’t but to be honest there’s probably been new releases since then that might have.
I think expedition 33 will take it and that’s fair but personally my goty would be donkey kong just because it was the most fun game I’ve played in years.
@Max_the_German yes though remember that’s only my opinion and many don’t agree!
For me RDR1 was one of the best games of that generation. Before RDR2 came out it was my most anticipated game but turned out to be one of my most disappointing!
The pacing is my main gripe as it’s so slow. Almost like they wanted it to play like a film and forgot it was a game. The story is also weaker as are the locations. It felt a lot less wild west. I gave up on it and didn’t complete it so maybe I missed something but what I did see didn’t come close to RDR1. Lots love 2 though!
@Toastmaster not sure about that mate. Microsoft are releasing games on discs with basically no data on them. I think Indy on ps5 had about 5gb or something so a big download was required. There’s other instances too.
If they’re doing that why wouldn’t they release cod on switch as a key card? Same thing.
Yes well you have to take everything Phil says with a large pinch of salt.
20% of the way into the “10 years of call of duty” deal and so far not even a whisper.
I feel MS are all over the place at the minute trying to work out what they’re doing and how they’re trying to do it with little room to support Nintendo in the process even though the desire is (maybe) there.
For me it’s really good overall with a couple of odd exceptions like Nier. That’s a big game from a big publisher and surprised it’s not updated to be supported.
Companies “leak” information purposefully sometimes as it’s a solid marketing strategy that gains a lot of clicks or often go viral.
It’s human nature for people to want to see what they shouldn’t see. Not saying that’s what’s happened here as some leaks aren’t intended however I wouldn’t be surprised.
I remember buying a PlayStation new for £100 and now a controller is almost the same price. Crazy s*** yo!
I’m a fan of the pro controller but this RE2 isn’t exactly that special for my tastes. For that price I’d expect something special like the dualsense 30th anniversary edition.
@ShadLink except the S2 version is probably €25 more than the S1 so it would’ve been nice to have included it. They added good value like this with Kirby so why not with AC?
@Sindayl in this case it does seem like they’re charging for nothing but in some cases like Kirby you get a lot of extra content for the upgrade price.

Is a little sad DK hasn’t made it into the overall top 20. Deserves to sell more!

Hope this is updated for switch 2 with better resolution and frame rates etc.

Love the idea of this on switch 2 and may well bite!

Re: Official Zelda Movie Photos Give Us Our Best Look Yet At Link And Zelda
@PerfectFrost love that 😂
Re: Best Zelda Games Of All Time
Ocarina was an insanely good game for its time and glad it made first place. I miss the days of miyamoto having influence on these games.
Would absolutely love a proper remake on switch 2.

Re: Mailbox: 3D Mario Predictions, Gaming Redemptions, Grammar Talk - Nintendo Life Letters
Nice letter Max!
“I could care less” also annoys me more than it should.
Re: ICYMI: Red Dead Redemption's Switch 2 Release Is A Free Upgrade For Switch Owners
@Max_the_German enjoy, is a great game and better than the sequel in my opinion.
Re: ICYMI: Red Dead Redemption's Switch 2 Release Is A Free Upgrade For Switch Owners
Sweet news, thanks rockstar!
Re: Round Up: The Final Previews Are In For Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
I have to say… I’m nervous.
Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
Pre ordered and can’t wait!

Hope there’s an upgrade path from switch 1.

Re: Sony Once Again Takes A Leaf From Nintendo's Playbook In Japan
Dear Nintendo and Sony, I’ll happily take a region locked console in the uk for 150 off in the future. Thank you.
Re: Sega Gives Japanese Employees "Peace Of Mind" With Another Salary Raise
Nice. We could do with western companies doing the same.

For me it’s really good overall with a couple of odd exceptions like Nier. That’s a big game from a big publisher and surprised it’s not updated to be supported.

Re: Anniversary: 20 Years Ago, 'GUN' Brought America's Old West (And An All-Star Cast) To GameCube
@PJOReilly couldn’t agree more with RDR2 being bloated in all honesty. Plus the pacing was sloooow.
I absolutely adored RDR1 and was so disappointed with the sequel, didn’t even make it to the end.
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 20 Today!
Congrats NL and those that have made this my go-to Nintendo site over the last few decades.
I was here from (near) the beginning and will remain an avid reader. Visiting is an automatic part of my daily routine.
Keep up the good work!
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Performance And Resolution Revealed
I light get this just to support them putting it on the cart!
Re: Square Enix Hit By Mass Layoffs As Part Of Global Restructuring
“to be hit with layoffs”
This makes it sound like it was out of their control. The reality is they created the layoffs.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@jfp thank you I feel safer now!
Re: Zelda: A Link To The Past And Chrono Trigger Are "Ripe For Remakes", Says Analytics Firm
Would love a high budget, proper ocarina remaster or even remake.
Link to the past also please!
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
I’d argue DK was as good as any Mario.
Please don’t shoot me.
Re: Nintendo States Its Intention To Acquire More Development Teams
Yep I’d be down for shi’nen and mercurystream!
With MS making so many layoffs they could probably pick up some cheap bargains or at least find unemployed devs!
Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists
@N00BiSH yes they said the DS was their “third pillar” but then soon dropped the gba once the DS took off!
Re: Nintendo Is Preparing For Even More Movies In The Future, Unsurprisingly
I agree with others. I hope the Zelda film has an actual story with depth and not dumbed down.
Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
Yep DK would win it if I had to choose!
Re: Resident Evil Pro Controller Is Available To Pre-Order, But Its Price Is Terrifying
I remember buying a PlayStation new for £100 and now a controller is almost the same price. Crazy s*** yo!
I’m a fan of the pro controller but this RE2 isn’t exactly that special for my tastes. For that price I’d expect something special like the dualsense 30th anniversary edition.
Re: PSA: Don't Expect Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition To Include The DLC
@ShadLink in the uk you can get AC on S1 for £35 new. That’s what I was referring to. I probably should have been more clear.
Re: PSA: Don't Expect Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition To Include The DLC
@ShadLink except the S2 version is probably €25 more than the S1 so it would’ve been nice to have included it. They added good value like this with Kirby so why not with AC?
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Nintendo's Cheapest Switch 2 Edition Yet
@Sindayl in this case it does seem like they’re charging for nothing but in some cases like Kirby you get a lot of extra content for the upgrade price.
Re: Microsoft On Its Gaming Business Going Forward: "We Want To Be Everywhere"
@Doomcrow I did that and am very happy about my decision. Enjoy!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment?
Love Zelda but don’t love the type of game this is so not for me thanks.
Re: "Go Tell Nintendo" - Ex-Blizzard President Responds After Xbox Calls Exclusives "Antiquated"
I agree with him. Just because Xbox failed doing it doesn’t mean it’s not a valid model.
Re: Xbox Reiterates Its Support For Switch 2
@GregamanX ah love that! Well in that case you can’t not get one! I hope it’s as magical for you as it was back in the day!
Re: Xbox Reiterates Its Support For Switch 2
@GregamanX halo being your reason is a little ironic but I don’t think you’d regret a ps5, it’s a great console.
Re: Xbox Reiterates Its Support For Switch 2
@Haruki_NLI yep everything’s an Xbox… except switch 2 lol
Re: Xbox Reiterates Its Support For Switch 2
@The-Chosen-one yes well a 10 year promise could just comprise of one cod in year 10. Promise kept.
