@MoonKnight7 well, the OG Switch got its 2D Mario 6 years after its release...

So Donkey Kong is a groomer now or the previous lore is no longer canon?

@westman98
>"Nobody picked up a Switch 2 to play full-priced late ports of years-old games"

>Cyberpunk is the best selling third party game

"Meanwhile, for the US, Circana states that 68% of sales were for first-party, excluding the bundle."

Wtf? Are they counting the upgrade packs in those sales? Because what other first party game did Nintendo release? .-.

So... is this one of those games where you are in disavantage for not using the accessibility features?

Does the Mario kart sale figures include the copies included with the console? Because it wouldn't make sense that many people bought the game.

Also, very suprising that the software sales for the switch 2 are so low overall, people basically only bought mario kart.

It's closer to PS4 pro, everything else is copium; unless the Series S is really that trash.

Suprisingly low debut for the Switch 2 considering that the PS5 and Xbox Series experienced shortages at launch.

@Teksette You right, Yakuza 0 is the best jumping-on point for the series.

@deadmaker Considering they are charging more for the game now, I doubt they are going to offer the new content as an update.

@deadmaker They will most likely just delist the original.

After watching the new cutscenes on YouTube I can say this director cut version is just a cash grab to take advantage of the switch 2 launch hype and charge 50 bucks for what was 20 bucks.

Yakuza 0 is still a great game thou, even if most of the new scenes aren't good, the base game has the quality to be worth the 50 bucks.

@Axecon If the battery last less than two hours people doesn't need much time to notice that XD

Kinda sad that it took Game Freak an entire console generation just to reach standard Switch 1 performance. Let's hope they are able to keep that performance when they start to make exclusive games for the Switch 2.

It looks like Wild Hearts managed to flop twice XD

@TheExile285 Yakuza 0 was made after Yakuza 5, so the writing of the series had matured a lot at that point.

Yakuza 0 has a great pacing, a good use of plot twists, less tropey writing, it's better at organically connecting subplots and moving the story fordward, Kiryu and Majima have actual character development, It's great at making every character interesting and properly giving them timet to shine(you can easily notice a downgrade in characterization for every returning character in Yakuza 1), and due to it being conceived as a prequel to YK1, a lot of the characters "introduced" in Yakuza 0 have important roles and further development in the next game (Yakuza 1), unlike in other entries where most characters introduced in a entry either die in the same game or just disappear from the story in the next one; the story was made with a clear direction in mind, unlike other games where the writers were just throwing ideas and seeing what stick.

Yakuza 0 is such a masterpiece, sadly Yakuza 1 to 5 are kinda trash story-wise.

@The_Spanner Very often it's the leadership's fault, not the employee's fault.

@ButterySmooth30FPS This is a cross-gen title, and it's still going to be more expensive on switch 2. The panic for $80 games made people forgot that $70 for a game was supposed to be an exception for Nintendo games only 2 years ago, but now it's the base price for Nintendo titles. Game freak is definitely going to charge 80 buck for switch 2 exclusive Pokemon games.

How would he know about the remake if he isn't involved in it? .-. He's probably just referring to the rumors.

It's surprising that they keep releasing these games considering the bad reception of the first 2 remakes. I guess the money that Nintendo paid for the temporal exclusivity is keeping the project afloat.

Ys Seven has the best designs of Adol and Dogi, it's cool to see them again.

@Zufolobelisk The game also flopped, so yeah, most people hated it.

Kinda expectable considering they haven't released anything since Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair(2019) and their only new project is a remaster of the first Yooka-Laylee. Only 2-3 years passed between the first game and the Impossible Lair, it's really weird that they had spent the last 5-6 years in a remaster.

His design doesn't really look that brand new, it's more an updated render.

I don't see why making those figures if Samus is not going to look hot.

Yo, why does the game look like trash in those screenshots? It looks so non-HD.

Did I miss the release of this game?

"Share locally or share online via GameChat."

So it's like Steam Remote Play Together? You can share it to people online?

Does it have crossplay?

I guess people who don't want to play the game can have fun now.

@John_Deacon Retro Studio wasn't working in Metroid Prime 4 when it was announced back in 2017, Bandai Namco was rumored to be the one developing the game. The project was a disaster, so it was rebooted and handled to Retro Studios in 2019.

Donkey Kong Coutry Tropical Freeze(2014) was the last game that Retro Studio released, so we don't have details about what they were doing between 2014 and 2019, but it's safe to assume all their other projects ended up cancelled.

After the first declaractions, the game suddenly got +3k positive reviews. He basically just tricked people into reverse review bombing the game.

Cool, this sure will come in handy for the 2-3 things that you can do in that menu XD

I can't believe no one has ported Banjo kazooie to PC yet, it was decompiled last year.

@MatoFilipovic Okami was originally a commercial failure that made the original Clover Studio shut down. Then years later, the game gets a remaster and it now sold +2 millions copies and became profitable enough for a sequel.

I think the same could happen to Viewtiful Joe if they gave those games a second chance.

This will be the last chance of getting a port of Wind Waker HD

This is not Wind Wake HD -_-

"It just goes to show that Nintendo's decision to price Mario Kart World at $80 in the US is not an isolated incident"

Bruh, really? Are you going to use this to justify Nintendo raising the price of games? Especially when for the time being the $80 price is decided on a case-by-base basis. Nintendo even decided all its prices before the tariffs.

People is making a fuss for something that's not a big deal, just set the encounter rate to 50% for the entire game; that should keep you away from getting tired of the combat.

Having the option certainly wouldn't be bad, but it's not something that people was going to be using unless they were planing to cheese the game.

@Anti-Matter Well, Cyberpunk 2077 + the DLC is around 102 GB on PC, so 56.8 GB is certainly smaller.

Now those 256GB of internal storage looks pretty misserable.

Honestly, the game looks pretty, but it's just not the same as when they showed the first one and everyone was impressed about the Wii U running something with those graphics.

This was the problem with those game-key cards, they will encourage companies to not even try to use cartridges.

I never understood why this studio only release their games on switch, it's not like Nintendo was paying them to do so.

I don't think mouse support is a big deal for these kinda of games. I think the sticks are good enough and you can play in a more comfortable position.

Steam deck fans don't care about the switch 2, they are busy complaining about unoptimized games.

It's very funny that The Switch 2 hasn't been released and we are already in the stage of the console where we have news about games not being announced for it XD

Maybe it's just too much for the console, it seemingly runs like ***** on Steam Deck.
