@wanghaf Well then enjoy your trumpy new world!

Edit: oh why am I even responding. Just a recently (Wed 26th Nov 2025) signed up anti-wokester troll … ranting in his other comments against "pink haired activists", wtf!?

@WiltonRoots Oh yes, maybe that's why it's triggering so many. Just a lot of projection going on …

@Gamebits The game needs no update. Switch 2 received a system update which included the fix. It‘s Nintendo implementing the fixes in their backwards compatibility layer, or whatever it‘s called, not the developers updating their games.

@WiltonRoots Yeah, you’re right. I mean putting the most divisive character directly in the subhead (and the most goofy looking image of him in the teaser) is not exactly subtle. It will probably be the usual single issue flare up before the game releases (anyone remember the Bananza is only punching stuff controversy?), followed by almost universal critical acclaim, followed by most people enjoying the game and only a handful of people (or paperclips) who can‘t help themselves and bring up Myles, Myles, punch, punch, nothing to do in an empty open world in every second Switch 2 discussion … Enjoy your weekend!

@Ralizah Maybe Rick Moranis will be turned into a space dog and subsequently burned to a crisp when Samus ill advisedly crosses the beams!?

@OmnitronVariant For weeks now (mainly in the forum threads about Prime 4 and Switch 2 in general) you keep ranting against / complaining about a game you repeatedly insisted you have absolutely no interest in. What‘s your deal? Are you some self appointed champion of the aggrieved? "Engaging in discourse" it is not …

@luciobar1980 Agree 100%, it always baffles me when self proclaimed "fans" insist they know better than the creators themselves what their creation is all about. And even more so when the whole thing is not even out yet. I would also argue that an endless repetition of the same can actually lessen the impact/appeal of the original retroactively.

Maybe it‘s like with the movie Aliens which is a great sequel (and a classic in it’s own right) exactly because it did not do everything just like the first one while keeping it‘s core identity. And it also had space marines, so let‘s hope this all plays out nicely. 😉 The reason why there is so much (an Infinity of it, it seems) Marvel crap these days, is because tried and tested stuff is endlessly recycled to please the "fans".

Microsoft can keep calling for duty for all I care. Horrible company and a franchise that's imo emblematic of all that's wrong with gaming …

I had a lot of fun with the game. And as I have never seen this game in action before playing it on Switch 2, I thought it looked and ran really great, still do.

@Ralek85 Thanks! Did know the phenomenon, not the term (but I probably won‘t try saying it out loud 😉). And yes, you‘re probably right …

@Vash0125 I get ableist, but why misogynistic? Honestly curious.

@Glassneedles Now that actually makes a lot more sense!

So you can swap A and B then!? 😆

Great for people still on the fence and those who (unfortunately) get their news through YouTube and the like. Not me though, I'll wait for my pre-order to come through the wires and explore Viewros myself, thank you …

This seems to be one for the eventual sale maybe in one or two years. I tried the demo and it was … nice, but not nice enough with all the great games coming out all of the time.

"It looks like large-capacity models are getting sucked up for AI use," and all this just because some a**wipes think we all are too stupid to use google or read a book once in a while …

Got the 256GB together with the Switch 2. That's enough for now to have all the games in my current rotation (and then some) on hand. Together with the 1TB in my Switch 1 and a handful of physical games I have enough space to never run out of something to play. Once 1TB (or 2TB evetually once available) Express cards go down in price I'll upgrade.

It will sell a decent chunk … but the games people will actually get for their new Switch 2s for Christmas will be MKW, Bananza and Pokemon Z-A first and foremost.

Kirby Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4 and Hyrule Warriors on the other hand are perfect as gifts. Unless you're a fan not really essential, but something to treat your loved ones or yourself with. Therefore I'd say they make even more sense during the holiday season when a lot is bought on whim and impulse.

Moderately sized for a Switch 2 title, just like one of the bigger sized games on Switch 1. Fitting for a graphically rather impressive 1st party cross-gen game.

Can‘t understand why people are already up in knots over one character … even The Empire Strikes Back had C-3PO in it and is still considered one of the best movies of all time. We know nothing yet.

Finishing up Tomb Raider on Switch 2 and then on to Yooka Replaylee.
Happy gaming and enjoy your weekend!

Since there has been such an uproar over the file size of FFVII Remake yesterday/today: This update supposedly bumps up the file size to more than 50GB from originally around 13GB (according to SwitchCorner on Youtube).

When expectation (built up over 8/18 years) meets reality, that's the space in which drama is created. Hopefully, for the health and wellbeing of all concerned (gladly I‘m not), this – the Myles character as well as the bike segments – is just a mountain-molehill situation.

Since I skipped the Wii/DS era it's actually been 21 years for me … though waiting would be an overstatement, it's exciting nonetheless!

@Cipher36 When I pay that much for a game I play it, play it, maybe have one or two lighter/more arcadey games on rotation parallel to it (and Mario Kart on the console for whenever people come to visit), play it some more, play it, finish it and be done with for the next couple of years, because I put such an inordinate amount of time into it and want to move on to something else. Of course approaches differ, but at this size there are still 3/5 of the internal memory available for other games (most of which hardly come anywhere near the size of FFVII Remake). Between how many games do jump back and forth at any one time?

Load, play, delete. Where‘s the problem?

@datamonkey Haha… yes, that would certainly be great! As long as they keep the frames and resolution at this level. The PS version supposedly can‘t keep a stable framerate. In handheld it really looks great though (even with the reduced detail), which is my preferred way to play anyways.

@datamonkey Better than the 4K/60fps it runs at now? 5K/120fps?

February is the month of horror it seems.

@scoobdoo Well just look at games like Alan Wake on Switch, Nintendo exclusive gamers have not exactly been spoiled these last few years. Seeing a game like this run flawlessly at 4K/60fps is a difference like Night and Day compared to most of the ports we got. Also, it‘s supposed to be a mix of assets from both the original, as well as the PS4 version.

Apart from that I am now well into the game and it‘s incredibly fun.

Of course someone selling you s**t is telling you "s**t tastes great". Doesn't make s**t taste great though.

Excuse the profanity.

@electrolite77 The take on the SwitchUp youtube video, the link to which I posted above (#141), is that it is kind of a blend of the PS3 and PS4 versions. Can't confirm or deny, but the video gives a good impression of what you are getting.

@lumothesinner In that case it makes absolute sense (with so many games coming out all of the time) to wait for a sale. On other platforms it is massively discounted all the time.

And yeah, the OLED is way more portable.

@lumothesinner They are sold separately and there is no upgrade path. You have to choose which of the two you want to play it on. But if you want to play in full res and unshakeable 60 fps, go for Switch 2. Switch 1 is most of the time stable 30fps, but looks pretty decent otherwise.
You can see them compared here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xutVcQ5Nxkg (SwitchUp Yt)

@antlion Sorry to say, but while it‘s in the options menu, in the actual game I tried gyro and it does not work. Hopefully they‘ll patch it soon.

@anoyonmus Me too, but what I‘ve seen of the Switch 2 version so far is well beyond anything on the original Switch.

@Duncanballs Thanks and great to hear! And I really like it so far (just came upon the first bow) …

@Duncanballs Same here, looks and plays really good so far (Switch 2 handheld as well). Visually crisp and smooth frames. Can‘t compare it to other versions though as I have never played it before … absolutely great suprise!

@antlion To quote @JaxonH (unauthorized 😉) from the forum: "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!
Tomb Raider has GYRO AIMING and MOUSE AIMING and TOUCHSCREEN SUPPORT"

Seen it myself on Dekudeals about 5 minutes before the article dropped and downloading for Switch 2 right now. Absolute impulse buy range at only 16,37 € (10% off)!

Prime 4 is eating up Black Friday for me this year … I'll sit this one out.

Can't recommend Echoes of Wisdom enough though, especially with the free Upgrade on Switch 2. But this should be old news on this site …

@Cry_Zero I'd rather say – because around that time there will also be a lot of people newly getting a Switch 2 – the big winter/holiday titles are MKW, DK Bananza and Pokemon Z-A. Kirby is more of a black horse (and its mass appeal quite unpredictable as of yet) and Metroid Prime for the hardcore fans / "grown up" Switch 2 players. And also, it's still fall for at least another month.

@the_beaver Because there was a playtest going on the last couple of weekends. I would argue that hands on time with a game is a far better indicator of wether you like it or not than any review you read, however well it is written – no offense NL. It has unfortunately / luckily dissuaded me from getting the game and I was really looking forward to it and even had it on per-order until they announced the demo event.

Happy though for everyone who clicks with it. Go Kirby!

The Mario Galaxy collection came out in the run-up to the Galaxy Movie … I wonder what we‘ll be getting before the new Zelda movie!? Anything on this list or something brand new?

@WiltonRoots Never having been to a boxing match myself I can only imagine … Sounds great though!

@Dr_Wright As a stylistic device used in a headline I think it‘s perfectly fine. And as an aside, making things slightly harder to read helps with comprehension and retention, all because the brain has to exert a tiny bit more effort / engage more with what is being read.

Reading about prescriptive and descriptive grammar gives me warm feelings. Descriptive is like telling the grammar police to hand over their guns.

@WiltonRoots Good weekend to you too!

@WiltonRoots "I said years ago that these people always find an excuse not to buy the game after begging for it for years." Silksong, Silksong, Silksong!!! … oof, too difficult.
