What? You mean that until now the Switch 2 was the one device in the history of the universe that couldn't play Doom?!?

@Tourtus a whole range of Vi-O-La designs based on different characters (a la Yoshi’s Woolly World or Mario Maker 1) would be considerably more awesome than a jingle.

Prime 3 had stickers on Samus’ ship from other franchises if there was a save file on the Wii, it’s not completely outside Metroid/Retro’s style either…

So relieved that my Ridley and EMMI amiibo finally have something worthwhile to dust them off for

@ShadLink @Flashlink99 thanks for confirming

How does it run on Switch 1 though? And given both versions are the same price, is there a free upgrade path from Switch 1 to 2, or are they totally separate?

Wow. Just wow.

The top 25 are all solid bangers, but Mario 64 and Galaxy are way too low in that

5 apps, including the Parental Controls one

But what’s the app called?!?

Pokémon Legends E-A
Full Throttle Remastered

@Username_1 nice, thank you

How’s it compare on Switch 1? I can’t imagine games this old wouldn’t run as well

I’ll definitely get it, but not right away - it can wait until Xmas

Western would look a little nicer without the HUD/scan effects. I know it’s part of the the Prime series identity, but it’s kinda obscuring some of the nice art. Otherwise I like it.

But Japan gets the vote because the date on the box? My 24th birthday…

@KingMike well that was kinda my point. If they felt they could get away with Patenting the idea of Summoning a monster to fight on your behalf, despite decades of games predating Pokémon, then trying to Patent the idea of replicating 2 Screens on 1 despite dozens of other prior games doing exactly that, seems almost as dubious

@DM7Dust fair enough, good answer

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but couldn’t this patent covering “screen within a screen” be a blocker for third party ports, like the Castlevania Dominus and Mega Man ZX Collections, etc?

Street Fighter 2’ Champion Edition

Literally in the middle of playing the Remastered version on my phone now. Knew I shoulda waited

Played the 3D All-Stars version of Galaxy 1 earlier this year, followed soon after by the OG Galaxy 2. I shouldn’t have been surprised by the backwards graphical downgrade, but I was. Still an incredibly fun game, but really made me wish I had SMG2 on the Switch, for the extra polish and being able to play on the go. Wish granted.

While I’m in no rush to replay Galaxy 2 again right now, I’m happy to add it to the backlog for a rainy day.

Metroid Prime Hunters on the DS also did the same planet-hopping series of levels as Prime 3. In both cases each world feels more like a tunnel to run down, blast a boss/grab a key, then leg it back to Samus’ ship. 3 did a better job of making the areas worth exploring, and gave some cool set pieces along the way, but didn’t feel like a “proper” interconnected Metroid maze world, which loops around itself.

This ain’t new, and I ain’t loving it.

Street Fighter Alpha 3

Will the “old” Labo VR headset work just as well though?

I’m sure I paid £35 for Galaxy 2 on the Wii, and that included a free t-shirt

One more vote for “none of the above and not Silksong either”.

I hope that it’s great for everyone who’s waited this long for it, but this site acting like it’s the Second Coming is getting kinda tiresome and is putting me off Silksong entirely.

Article reads as if FF Tactics: War of the Lions for PSP isn’t a thing…

@PtM Ah, got it.

In unrelated news, my kids are really enjoying Animal x New Horizons.

No mention of all the Smash Directs proudly proclaiming “Smash Bros x {Franchise of the Week}”? I think those were meant to be pronounced as “by” or “loves”…

DK Bananza (last 20 Banandium gems)

@Pillowpants that was my experience with the original too. I think the multiplayer has a lot of replayability, but playing solo it quickly got repetitive, and the hundreds of achievements didn’t hook me.

@rjejr solid plan indeed

@rjejr yes, there’s a trilogy of Lego Batgames across the Wii / Wii U era sitting in my backlog.

I like the US one apart from looking like a paunchy man having a mid-life crisis adventure, who’s not paying enough attention to the track ahead

Is the extra stuff worth the asking price if you don’t have a camera, or would you be missing out on a big part of the additions?

I’ve not bothered with the camera yet, so it would bump the price even higher…

Seems mad to think they moved development to the Switch 2 in 2021, so they’ve been working on this for 4 years. Makes me doubt we’re gonna get a 3D Mario any time soon if that’s the Odyssey team’s turnaround time…
