great soundtrack by the way

Loved the movie, very strong recommendation. It felt like playing the game in a way.

Hard disagree, I feel like this dungeon was a very natural next dungeon. Still simpler, big slightly bigger and more complex than deku tree.

Very reasonable increase in difficulty for child link, like the boss, like the bombing of the statues eyes...

One of the very few titles I got physical back in the day... so glad I did that

This is definitely nice for people who are easy going in learning very basic japanese. For me, studying for N3, its simply too basic and slow.

This is cool, I'd love to see a Metroid Switch 2 edition someday, but that seems almost impossible

dont understand why people hate on this game. its the last challenging mario platformer. i know people love the mario galaxies, but those games are for babies, did not like them at all

@RenanLK and that's cause its been improved, cause the 2018 version image on handheld was awful

Not a fan. These remakes are kind of becoming a bit too much of a Kingdom Hearts / Disney like atmosphere, of which I'm not a fan at all.

It takes away from the much darker bleak atmosphere of the original to me... happy for the ones who like that though, but I think I'll skip it, Rebirth burned me out

They come with a manual? That just hits right in the nostalgia... I might have to check that out

@Watchman you're missing out cause its excellent. I got on to Platinum on ranked playing only on Switch. Pro controller rules!

People, this game isn't really for us. Nintendo repositioned Yoshi as something that targets very small children. Its a shame since I loved Yoshis Island...

Games does look lovely for parents with small children, art direction is adorable

The VN is way better than the anime (and that is quite something because the anime adaption is pretty good).

I highly recommend anyone thinking of playing this, going with a mindset closer to playing a sci-fi gem, not just "a version of the anime". This is the source material, its way deeper, feels like a true sci-fi.

Goof Troop was super popular in Brazil, ans we had a blast playing it when I was a kid!

It's definitely a great sign that these updates are coming more or less frequently

@slowpoke_tail thats probably people who like to buy them in different colors for the sake of collecting.

But as is usual in the internet, people assume their needs are the same as everyone else's when they say its a "waste of money.

Nintendo probably put the colors on the inside to clearly differentiate the outside appearance of the switch 2 from switch 2... but I do agree that it makes the Switch 2 color kind of lifeless. Maybe they could have made the Switch 2 white on the outside...?

Welcome to the best gaming website on the web! Cheers from Brazil!

I think we had enough dragon quest remasters, and the never ending milking off the success of nier automata. Maybe make something new and awesome like e33.

Square Enix seems to be becoming another lazy corporate-like developer these days.

Cyberpunk is the most underrated game of the decade.

Street Fighter 6 is absolute insanity. I actually prefer to play ranked on Switch 2 than on PS5 because the switch pro controller feels way better, because of the different positions of the sticks.

Works wonderfully (mains are Juri and Rashid btw)

He`s not nearly as bad as the other troopers.

I'm getting to the final area, the game does slow a bit during the ice section, but then improves again. I think there are many highs. People seem to be forgetting about about what Metroid Prime was, many of the "criticisms" were always there on metroid prime games

> Visually - way above the other entries
> Combat - metroid prime has NEVER had good combat, and for some reason we give it a pass on that, lets be real - in this game it is way better than on previous ones, specially bosses
> Storytelling - the NPCs get in the way, but the areas make a great job of telling the story without saying anything. The ice area does a nice job of telling the story of what happened. I particularly like the fact that I have no idea what is going on
> Music - excellent on the dungeons and bosses, but they could have done something better on the desert area. Its boring sensation is very amplified by the lack of music
> NPCs - well, these guys were here on metroid prime 3, and there they were dumber, uglier, and with worse voice-acting. But they didn't follow us around. The game always feels better when they're gone.
> Exploration: In the dungeons this is more or less on the vein of Prime 1/3. Prime 1 was interconnected, 2 was kinda, 3 was not. The desert was added I guess to fill that never ending teleportation on Prime 3 - but the lack of music brings it down, a lot.

With that in mind I think the game is more or less a 9 for me so far - people have graduation googles, to me it is impossible to defend that Prime 3 was better

Hardcore metroid fan here - 3 hours in, so far game is excellent, does not deserve the amount of hate at all.

So far its up there with Prime 1 and 2 - DEFINITELY better than Prime 3

Let's see if this keeps up

This looks incredible

Played recently, this game sometimes struggles with the framerate even on PS5

@OorWullie genius solution, company creates the problem and sells the solution haha

@BaldB3lper78 well, no one is comparing this to PS5, but to the original PS3 release. I played this game back then.

Considering cyberpunk's performance on Switch 2. I would expect the Switch 2 to run the PS4 version of this game... very easily.

They were probably working on a Switch 1 version only, and just bumped that up.

Honestly, it's kind of a fair price, bad port, but very cheap price, kinda makes sense. I just hope people don't go expecting this is an excellent port Switch 2 level performance game for a huge bargain, because it is really not.

I mean, I'm not a fan of Digital Foundry either, and I don't like their nitpicking.

But this looks worse than the PS3 version of this game. The switch 2 runs cyberpunk well, when the ps4 struggled terribly. I don't think this is nitpicking at all.

I played the PS3 version back then and this looks awful. Switch 2 can easily run at least the PS4 remaster of this game. This is lazy work.

This may seem fine, but for reference, the Switch 2 version is sginificantly inferior to the PS3 version. This is not a good port.

They basically did a port for Switch 1 based on the PS3 version and bumped it up - it looks void of detail and shadows that the PS4 version and even the PS3 version have.

For switch 2 they should have ported the PS4 version - this feels like lazy work honestly. Not a good port at all.

Nice casting, that is the most Link-looking face I could possibly imagine

Not gonna lie, I'm very worried about this.

@ParrakerriRush Nintendo does not own Pokemon - they have a 33% share. Pokemon is owned by The Pokemon Company, which is a joint venture between Nintendo and 2 other companies.

@PolitiClank sorry to be that guy, but you should be REALLY sure when you want to claim to combat misinformation.

Both BOTW and TOTK are 4k supported if in a 4K screen, so in docked mode. It is dynamic, but mostly 4k, according to digital foundry.

In my TV, it runs in 4K.

I don't understand this Yamauchi glorification... under his tenure Nintendo was innovative, but also extremely controlling of its almost supply chain monopoly in the NES and SNES era.

People saying Yamauchi was against high prices but we had 60-75 USD SNES games... in the 90s

Wish Nintendo Life would follow more the news of Street Fighter 6, C Viper is out and no news... and this game is phenomenal on the Switch

@PinderSchloss actually pretty good point. The dream was to relive celebrate that original story... which was already very complex on its own

@PinderSchloss I disagree when it comes to FF7 Remake, actually felt that it had a lot of the original's atmosphere.

But I kind of agree when it comes to Rebirth, a lot of cut content, different directions, story got super confusing... a lot of open world "to-do list style side missions / content" that is present in every open world game (destroys the feeling of surprise in the adventure in my opinion) not to mention that the length really tested my patience, I abandoned the game many times before finishing it...

I mean, it's a very good game, but the overall FF7 feel defintely took a hit on Rebirth in my opinion. It's probably on purpose (hence the title), but not really my cup of tea.

Super Metroid and Metroid Prime are phenomenal, but against all odds, I voted for Metroid Dread.

The first time I booted it up, it sent a chill down my spine, the darkness, the music, I love it!

I really like the lines of dialogue in this one. I thought it would be weird having a main character that talks at first (in contrast to Hollow Knight), but Hornet is so well written.

I'm also playing Hades II and having a blast with the writing, seems indies are knocking out of the park this year!

Wow this looks great! Cant wait for RE 2 remake to come to Switch 2

So... this is a substitution between already outsourced functions?

Also... don't brazilians also deserve to have jobs? Only people in countries we like can have jobs...?

Besides, isn't hardware already done outside of Japan/US as well?

I feel like this may be more of a political topic, I don't know

I would buy this - I have the PS5 and the Switch 2, and I'm always annoyed to remember that I have to sit in front of the TV like I'm in class everytime I want to play the PS5

Phenomenal game... such a shame the use of Yoshi IP was dumbed down to "games for small children" afterwards :/

Somehow people will blame Nintendo for this

Can we stop giving these guys a platform for viewership? If we keep comparing Switch 2 performance of every single game that comes out with PS5 Pro or high end PCs, we are going to keep reading the same things over and over again.

The only thing we should care about is the game running well enough to be fun

It's a pretty good game, the reuse of the assets are definitely a high point, but I really miss the hack and slash of 2d zeldas. Attacking using the echoes kinda killed the action a bit...

Brazilian over here, and I'm on the side of Nintendo honestly. Brazil is essentially a sea of piracy, pirated software and hardware make close to 80-90% of the market.

It's a cultural thing since the PS1-PS2 days, due to how easy it was to pirate games at that time.

@Zeebor15 That's a good point, never thought of that... it is odd

Patenting is a way to protect and promote innovation. Without them, there is little incentive to innovation, as innovators are quickly copied.

Patents also don't last forever, and they vary greatly by country, so even then it's not a full protection. It's more of a bare minimum protection, even Apple struggled on their battle with Samsung.

Personally, I don't think designs should be patented, but some technology processes should, as they can be extremely difficult to crackdown, and once its done, can be easily copied. For anyone interested, research the blue LED innovation in the 90s, it's super interesting.

Not gonna lie, the minute they went PLUS DK CAN TURN INTO A ZEBRA I started laughing

That was the wackiest direct ever
