Do you think there’s any chance of a direct on this before release? I feel this game could really do with a direct…..

@TKundNobody it can do very easily.

I’m extremely interested to know why his next role is so secret.

Is he off to be editor of Push Square?

@John_Deacon oh. So I downloaded them on my switch 2 and I got no patch. How do I get it?

It runs at 120fps on my Xbox series x

Yes, even though I already have all-stars. I immediately noticed the graphical improvements in the direct. So for sure I’ll get these for 4K on my switch 2

It said only available in US and Canada. Did everyone miss this? It was a big white banner.

You didn’t ask my inside leg measurement.

Could the audio be a problem with your hardware? Or settings? I didn’t notice any issues.

Well, as someone who absolutely ADORED transformed and felt that it was borderline better than its Mario Kart equivalent at the time, I am unequivocal this time. This IS better than Mario Kart World. By a long way.

MKW is just SO disappointing, but this seems to be Tramsformed 2. Played it on Xbox series X and Switch 2. Switch 2 seemed to have more vibrant colours but obviously series X better in every other way.

But it’s cheaper on switch. Decisions decisions.

Oooh - gyroscope controls…….

To answer my own question, yes it is. Happily added,to my collection.

@canaryfarmer how can you wish list it? Is it up?

Yep, still not available

What time of day do these drop? It’s not there yet…..

Sorry this is just stupid.

What’s next?

“Watch the exclusive DF video where we compare apples with oranges”.

Verdict : if you’re in the mood for a citrusy tangy burst then you absolutely should go for an orange, it does what it sets out to do perfectly. However, sometimes you just want an apple. It offers a less juicy experience but quite frankly is much better at being an apple than an orange is”. Whichever you buy, you won’t go wrong.

There was some kind of cool accessory for the og switch that allowed playing in Tate mode. I can’t remember what it was called but I owned it (until I lost it) and it was great.

Is there one for the Switch 2?

You can walk into any branch of Geekay and Virgin Megastore in Dubai and just buy one off the shelf.

I just do not understand what happened to the following games :

Super Cow 64
Super Cow sunshine
Super cow Galaxy (and 2)
Super Cow 3D world
Super Cow odyssey.

Mario can still star in his 2D iterations

@nin10doom speaking as someone who,played this in the arcade and bought a PS1 on launch day just to play it at home - I feel the reviewer could be clearer on this.

The game only has one track, however, depending on the skill level you choose the “circuit” you race varied.

So on beginner level you race the basic track.

On Intermediate level, just before the final right turn you turn left instead and race an extra part of the circuit.

On advance level you race on the intermediate circuit but a different turn opens up another part of the track you haven’t raced on before.

I hope this makes sense?

@DwaynesGames They were, but the site has cherry picked their one completely positive comment.

There's nothing worse than building up hype for an upcoming console launch, only to have your pre-order cancelled at the last minute

Really? Nothing worse? I think maybe those living in Gaza or Ukraine may well differ in their opinion.

Yet here in Dubai we can’t even buy it

I have no choice but to stick with the Nintendo Switch at this stage. There’s no official release confirmation for Switch 2 in this country at the moment

Pleasantly surprised at the price but here in Dubai like;y to be rather more than RRP. No preorder scheme over here but Nintendo isn’t that popular either.

I would hope to be able to get one by the end of June.

Does anyone know if there’s a robust single player career mode in this?

I know it’s almost heresy - but even though Mario Kart is my favourite racing series (just ahead of Forza Horizon) Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing Transformed is probably my all time favourite single racing game. The balance, the mechanics, the tracks. That game is perfection.

@Burning_Spear make that six. You forgot to count me.

It actually makes me WAY more angry than it should.

(Some of) the ports on Switch have been disgraceful. Regardless of price we are talking about some of the greatest examples of their genre of all time - and these may be the first time that some people have played them.

They really HAVE to be better.

Look at Mario 3D World. Play the original and then play the port. It may be subtle but the controls on the port are bad enough (to my mind at least) to make it virtually unplayable. Maybe it’s muscle memory on my part having played the original to death but I really hate the port.

It seems there are similar issues in this game. When you are charging full price there really is no excuse for not putting in full effort. And these games deserve nothing less. Donkey Kong County returns is one of the finest 2D platformers of all time (and way better than Tropical Freeze IMHO).

On Dolphin I have been able to play DKCR in full HD resolution (and higher) on Dolphin for years on my 55 inch 4K HDR TV.

I paid for the game originally on Wii, and on the 3DS and will, reluctantly, buy it again on switch. But if I want the optimal experience I will play it on Dolphin.

Copying? I’ve had a switch since launch and a switch oled since launch,

I have a legio go too and I’ll tell you - playing switch games on it is WAY preferable to the OG.

It doesn’t copy - it leaves the switch in the DUST

From the Tetris Effect review “ While this Switch port doesn't offer a great deal over existing versions in terms of features, it delivers the one key ingredient that its rivals cannot: portability”

I seriously do wish you would stop staying stuff like this.

I have a switch and I love it.

But I play my Xbox version of Tetris Effect on the go on a legion go at 1080p on a much better screen than the switch.

You don’t serve anyone by closing your eyes and pretending differently.

Yes, without the success of the switch we probably wouldn’t have the steam deck, the ROG Ally, the Legion Go,etc.

But please stop pretending the switch is the only portable way to play these games.

Did Minecraft ever do this with any playtests? Or Death Stranding? Or Roblox? Or Spider-Man? Or is it unique to this brand new, not at all ripping off any other IP playtest?

No longer accepting applications

How is he not falling all the way down before being picked up?

There is NO way the compensation will come even a quarter of the way close to making up for missing the drive syndicate. And as there’s only two a year that’s serious.

@Zulzar errrrrrr…….they have.

@Friendly then you can’t have been paying attention. Extreme G was so auccesssful it had 3 sequels, 2 on the N64 and 1 on the GameCube. Fantastic game.

Outside the EU the app is available on apple’s own App Store and for free.

And it works wonderfully.

More research needed @Olliemar28. I mean I would expect at least a rudimentary knowledge of what you’re writing about.

I’m sure you’ll slap me down though.

And why would Nintendo have any case against this app? It’s not illegal in any way.

@AnonyQ and there’s a Zelda remake on here too. Yet Mario remakes aren’t allowed……

Anyway I play all these games on my PC in higher resolutions and frame rates anyway

I also own every one of them on my switch before anyone complains,

Sounds like this game is tailor made for Yuzu.

@olliemar28

Fallen fowl?

There is a fundamental misunderstanding of why Nintendo went after Yuzu. There is another popular Switch emulator that has not been touched by Nintendo. It is fine.

I'm not going to regurgitate it all here as I suspect won't listen anyway. Suffice to say that if Suyu sticks to just emulation it will be absolutely fine and Nintendo are unlikely to go after it.

However, it's fundamental problem as I see it it the underlying code. If, as rumoured, Nintendo gained ownership of the code as part of the legal agreement then it is not open source any more and they WILL and CAN go after Suyu.

If they don't own the code it is not likely they will.

Yuzu wasn't sued because they allowed people to emulate switch games.

I cannot wait for this game!

I have 3 hybrid handheld, and docked consoles.

The first one will play this game butterly smooth at 1080p handheld with VRR and 4K when docked. I will buy it on this.

The second one will play this game butterly smooth at 720p at 90hz in handheld and 4K when docked. I will buy it on this too.

My third one is the switch.

@scully1888

Is it REALLY appropriate to use the name of Ayrton Senna as a pun? Maybe you should read the Wikipedia article on the death of Senna and then change the headline?

I’ll just play this on Yuzu. Errrrrrr, wait…….

(Just kidding mods)

@JohnnyC chase HQ was an arcade game originally.

Tried it on steam deck. It’s a different game!

so - Just realised it's also on xbox and PC. So I'll get it on both those platforms and skip the switch then.

As soon as I heard there was a demo, as a long term fan, I jumped straight on my switch.

They have a demo so they MUST be confident it’s good.

My God it’s a disaster! Absolute lag fest. Push jump and it takes an age to respond. There’s no excuse for this travesty !

I’m playing NES Remix on the Wii U at the moment on my……cough……..retro setup. I dunno. Maybe it’s my age but it’s punishingly difficult in places which affects the fun of it.

But I agree it should come back and would be a successs.
