Interesting, so it’s a patch to the game itself and not a piece of DLC in the store?

Good. That solves any possible region-coding issues for those of us who imported physical copies!

@FancyJehuty …you really thought this was appropriate to post, eh?

Now do P5R please, Sega.

@TomSupreme It amuses and disturbs me when people say things like, “gooners incoming” when people are annoyed at censorship. People are WAY too comfortable dismissing changes like this.

Never support censorship. That way actual bad things lie, not just “hur dur gooners.”

@Sambuc I know this may shock you, but the installed base of Switch 1 consoles still dwarfs the Switch 2 installed base.

This also may shock you, but those Switch 1 owners buy games and exchange money to do so on a regular basis, and developers of games like money.

Even more shocking, they PLAY games on their Switch 1.

I know this is overwhelming, but let it sink in.

@ShadLink “I don’t notice it so DF is being a bunch of Sony fanboys”

That’s…certainly an interpretation.

@imgrowinglegs Some interviews with the maker(s) seemed to indicate they were debating whether to redo Zero first or 3rd, which baffles me. Like…how is this even a choice?

@OmegaX83

Trails in the Sky 1-3
Trails from Zero-Trails into Azure
Trails of Cold Steel 1-4
Trails Into Reverie
Trails Through Daybreak 1-2

That’s all the games that exist at the moment, with another game coming early next year. All except Sky 2-3 are available on current consoles in some form, and Sky 2-3 can be played on PC.

@metaphysician I used the correct words. I have no PC.

@NinjaWaddleDee I can safely say that when the credits rolled on 1, I would have immediately paid to jump into a remake of 2. I actually considered seeing if any friends had a laptop/desktop PC they weren’t using so I could leap right into the Steam version.

Does that help?

@imgrowinglegs I’ll wait for the remakes, then. No matter how easy it is, I won’t mod my precious Vita and I’d prefer playing the official release.

I’m content to wait! I’ll be annoyed if they pivot to Crossbell instead of doing the third game next, though…

@imgrowinglegs I was under the impression that the 3rd Sky game didn’t get an English release other than PC?

I have a Vita. But knowing that the third game didn’t get an English release made me decide to not waste money on the psp 2nd one and just wait for the inevitable remake.

@UltimateOtaku91 Too late, already bought them digitally on PS and imma play what I bought.

The advice is appreciated, though!

@imgrowinglegs I’m not waiting till later next year and then whenever they get around to Sky 3 to play them. I’m relatively safe playing the Crossbell games and the first two Cold Steel games, but then I’m obviously stopping.

I have no PC to play 3rd on.

I played 1st a couple months ago.

IMMEDIATELY knew I’d need the rest of this series ASAP. Playing the Crossbell games right now even though I know it spoils some of Sky 2 and 3, but given how many of these games there are…I want to get further in before I die.

2nd will be a day 1 purchase for me.

@darkswabber PS5 for me, then waiting for a GKC sale. 0 went on sale very quickly and PlayAsia had 1&2 on sale rather quickly for S2.

@Unit_DTH Is this a Nintendo direct? I thought this was from Sega themselves. Maybe I misread.

Aaaaand preordered.

So looking forward to this. Yakuza 3 was the first game in the series I played, and getting to replay it in high-def is going to be fantastic.

@kmtrain83 I would be an idiot and immediately buy BG3 for S2 without hesitation at full price, even though I already have it for PS5.

@DashKappei “you do realize the “free upgrade” is only valid if you already own the game and for many others it is simply Divinity 2 for Switch 2?”

Well yes. That’s what we’re talking about. A free upgrade for existing owners. Underline the word free.

“It’s more than fine to criticize this port for not including mouse mode and a performance-mode at 40fps handheld.”

Of course it is. And if you scroll back slightly, my actual issue was with someone whining that portable mode wasn’t 60fps.

“You’re tired of people whining?”

Sure am! It gets tiresome.

“What’s way worse is people patronizing others on how they want to spend their hard earned money and having different, higher standards.”

Nah. I’m fine with patronizing people who complain about free things, especially when said free thing makes the recent Skyrim “upgrade” look pathetic. Now that I DID complain about because it actually introduced new issues that didn’t exist in the orginal Switch port. That’s an example of a valid complaint.

No mouse support in this game? It absolutely would be nice. 40fps portable? Very much so! Hopefully those will come down the road. But you know what didn’t have to happen at all? An actual Switch 2 upgrade for free.

@larausjarod That’s how it works! You just get the free upgrade option in the store and your S2 downloads the specific S2 assets. You still need the cart inserted in the S2 to play, of course.

@Pak-Man If they did a full Legends/Tron Bonne compilation, I would be so intensely happy.

sighs in lack of Mega Man Legends

It’s good to see Capcom giving us these collections of classic games!

@Anti-Matter We’ll all find out. I imported the PS5 disc and the Switch 2 game card and HOPING there’ll be no issue. That’ll be up to how Level 5 did things.

@DarkTron I’m tired of people whining about free things that make existing things better. Especially from people who (like me) almost certainly have zero knowledge about what it takes to make these upgrades happen. And especially when 48 hours ago none of us even knew this upgrade EXISTED.

Also, if you think me calling out someone for making a silly statement is “brigading” then you must be new to the internet.

@brandonbwii Very fair! I don’t disagree.

@PikaPhantom It’s very possible. Hopefully they’ll add it in later.

I just love it when people complain about a solid upgrade and say “that’s stupid” when 30 fps portable is the ONLY downside of the upgrade. Higher res, better performance docked, improved load times…

@Vyacheslav333 Do you honestly think Larian (edit: Or whoever is responsible for the port) wouldn’t have done 60fps in portable if they could have at that moment? Maybe a future patch might implement VRR for portable and aim for higher, but it feels like 60fps for this may have been a target they couldn’t hit now.

Good grief. People are never happy, especially with free upgrades.

@cylemmulo Second paragraph of the article tells you all you need to know.

Well, the Switch version is no longer on my radar to purchase, then.

I’d have taken a delay over this stupidity.

Anyone defending this crap port: “Leave the multi-million dollar corporation alone!!!”

Aspyr is pretty much synonymous with horrible ports and broken promises at this point anyway. I expect nothing from them.

@Glasso If you genuinely don’t see the difference between this cheap shoddy port and Skyward Sword, there’s nothing anyone can say to ever convince you otherwise.

@The_Nintendo_Expat Paranormasight, Octopath 1 (at first), Daemon X Machina, Golf Story, Shin Megami Tensei V (at first), Triangle Strategy (at first), quite a few VNs including Fate/Stay Night and Fate/hollow ataraxia…

That’s just from my own personal library after a quick skim. All console exclusive to Switch, at least at first.

@purple_shyguy My worry level is zero. Every platform has games that are horribly optimized. All we have to do is just vote with our wallets and not reward them with a purchase. They’ll learn or go away, and the good ones will stay.

I can’t believe Capcom has the brass balls to keep selling cloud versions of those games.

@MitchK Don’t hurt yourself getting off that soapbox.

@aresius This is the way. Reward the developers who do a good job, and vote with your wallet. Cyberpunk 2077 runs well on S2, better than I ever thought it could. PS5/Series X runs better, but it’s hard to take those with you!

It seems like some devs can make the Switch 2 hardware sing (Star Wars Outlaws, Cyberpunk 2077, No Man’s Sky) and some (Skyrim, this lackluster port) …can’t.

So freaking lazy.

@Ploppy If you have a PS5 to try out that demo, the Switch 2 version basically as good as the PS5 version.

I say this owning both systems and having tried the PS5 demo and also as an owner of the S2 version.

Definitely worth the $5 early upgrade cost. Stupid backlog is keeping me from giving it the attention it deserves, though.

A friend of mine had the NES Jaws when I was growing up, but never wanted to play it.

I hate that this is from LRG.

@JohnnyMind “Leave the multi-million dollar corporation alone!”

I kid!

That said, the game is over a decade old, started out on the PS3/360 and has gotten more releases than almost any non-Nintendo game ever other than Grand Theft Auto V.

This is a sloppy port and needs far more work.

@daycamp The difference is night and day. You can find many comparison videos showing just how improved it is.

@Glasso glances at Star Wars Outlaws, Cyberpunk, No Man’s Sky, Red Dead Redemption and other good S2 ports that have been made

Yeah, no. It’s the devs who are dropping the ball, sorry.

…how is it not 60fps? At this point there is zero excuse.

@DreadfulDragon This article isn’t about Veilguard. Prime 4 is actually a GOOD game.

I shoot Myles in the face at every opportunity and the desert open world is boring, but other than that and the chattering humans this game is excellent. Solid 7 if not higher. It would be 8 if I could turn off Myles’ “HEY HAVE YOU CHECKED PLACED YOUVE ALREADY BEEN!?!!?!?!?” annoyances.

I had quite a few of these on mobile, and this was a no-brainer as an instant purchase. Glad to see these games preserved in a modern format!

@yoshi3 It is a Switch 1 and 2 title. Free S2 upgrade.

Gosh, this sure is the kind of thing that…I dunno…should be included in the ACTUAL GAME CASE, eh?

Well, on the bright side now any future Arkham games can’t be worse than that Suicide Squad game.

…right? Please?

Hardware wise, my display got a couple of scratches within a week and I still don’t know how. Screen protector bought and applied shortly thereafter.

Other than that, it’s in perfect shape and it’s actually been getting more play than my PS5. That in and of itself is a major accomplishment.

Will definitely be picking this up when it gets released in the US! I love me some oddball games.

Got the deluxe edition this weekend in anticipation, tried the S2 upgrade tonight and it looks damn good. It’s not true 4k but 1440p at 60fps docked is MORE than enough for me on the S2! Well worth the $5.

@JRM9 Tell me you don’t understand how huge an update this is from the Switch version without telling me you don’t understand how huge an update this is from the Switch version.

And for free. Someone’s always got to complain about free improvements.
