Honestly? Good!

The game is excellent and feels like a complete package as it is. I dunno if I'm the minority here or not but I appreciate that Nintendo has been putting out finished games that feel complete at launch.

@Max_the_German I heard people say that, but i have not heard it from people who demo'd the game on switch 2.

I'm sure it will be as good as their last Animated adaptation of a videogame.

@Terramax I'm getting both day one

@Warioware I'm just glad I managed to snag a physical version of Golden and Portable at this point.

This is so god damn shameful. I'd happily buy this to have the whole game on cartridge. But this guaranteed I'm keeping my money.

@Tigerhoodman it's not out yet.

But people are NOT happy that they replaced the entire English Cast and that they said they'll be "Updating the writing to modern audiences".

the devs already gave an interview talking about how they're gonna change Yosuke for "being kinda mean".

@StewdaMegaManNerd
"You'd still have to download most of"

That's the thing. A proper cartridge can hold up to 64GB. Which means 64GB LESS that would need to be downloaded into the system's memory.

It's not a perfect solution, but it would give a real alternative for people wanting their storage space to be respected. If the whole "but it runs faster if it's all in the memory" thing is an issue, You'd still have the option to buy digital. Game Key cards remove that alternate option entirely.

Wow. 500USD for glorified download codes.

That's just embarrassing.

@VirtualVisage87 the box office says otherwise.

I don't think Snyder was fantastic either but Gunn's approach was awfully planned out and sloppy.

He starts it off with Peacemaker, a show that is a hold-over from the precious universe and it's confusing for anyone looking in whether its part of this "new" universe or not, then he follows it up with an animated show nobody watched, then finally a Superman movie that, while okay, doesn't bother giving the character an origin, and can't even fully focus on him cuz he has to share the spotlight with a bunch of other C-List heroes (which also were already there) the general public won't really know or care about.

And then we got Supergirl.

I dont think i need to get into the flop that one was.

Here's my take:

• No James Gunn isn't that big a deal. dude definetly lost his touch (just look at what he's doing to DC, and they gave him full control of it)
• It'd be nice to have Suda, but I'm willing to give the new team a shot to prove themselves. They were very communicative about the issues of the Remaster and fixed most if not all of them through patches. Them giving out brand new outfits completely for free post launch instead of making them DLC does go a long way into earning some good faith from me.
• They say the studio is pro-AI but that can mean a million things. What matters is how the final product is gonna look like.

Thankfully, TGS is around the corner, so we'll be able to see the game in action and judge by its own merits soon enough.

@anoyonmus pretty smooth. i havent had any issues with it

Now that's dedication.

@shiningpikablu252 if it was rhe case, I wish they'd just clarify. However according to a friend of mine (and by all means, he could be wrong), the biggest issue in the memory crisis is the lack of read-write chips, but game cartridges are read only, which hasn't been affected. Or at least not nearly to the same extent.

It's particularly weird coming from Spike Chunsoft, who have been fairly consistent with proper physical releases on the switch 2. they even said their Steins;Gate release will be full on cartridge, which makes this situation even stranger.

@JohnnyMind the silver lining is that a visual novel of all things probably won't have many if any graphical or performance differences between switch 1 and 2.

Canceled my pre-order. I'll get the Switch 1 version instead.

well, I finished the OG Witcher 3 last year. fortunately, I kinda expected an update so I never touched the Expansions.

Hopefully we get a cartridge. I'd gladly buy it again to have the whole thing physical with no download needed.

@Alcea maaaybe hold off on that one. I've been hearing that game's performance is atrocious.

Now all we need is the confirmation that They're following in the Lies of P developers and mske a full on cartridge release!

Do we know what the physical version is gonna be like for Siwtch 1 and 2?

This feels insulting.

@Simu001 considering that in the current day, it's extremely easy to buy the collections that includes all games presented in the correct play order, that's just an excuse.

@link3710 imma be real, if it brings massive layoffs... good.

It's like we've seen with Xbox, most AAA western studios are insanely bloated, with a bunch of "fake" jobs and middle management that only serves to slow down game development and put out worst games.

Even if the games they make don't get any better, I doubt they'll get any worse.

@Oldstalk mostly moral outrage because of Saudi Arabia.

Personally, I also think this could be a positive thing. EA was making games for Shareholders, not players. If nothing else, I don't think this acquisition will make their output any worse.

I hate it so much they went with those ugly-ahh designs.

Thats never a good idea.

I legit don't understand what people are mad about here.

Nintendo put up their products at a certain price, people went and bought those products at those prices.

What is there to refund?

Are y'all really not even gonna bring up the fact that according to Nintendo's annual sales data, physical packaged software was 45.4% of their sales (with Digital being 54.6%).

Sony tries to kill Physical media, Nintendo up and proves that, as far as their concerned, it's still a cornerstone of their market with a near 50/50 split with digital sales, and You guys don't even give that little factoid a passing mention?

Square Enix continuing their scumbaggery, I see.

@Fiskern if you like visual novels, you might enjoy Digimon Survive then.

@hel105 its a bit confusing: there's no "actual" upgrade path, what you do have is: when you insert the Switch 1 cartridge into the switch 2, it automatically downloads an update that brings the the visuals and performance to the same level ad the switch 2 version. But the software still counts as the switch 1 version (meaning that if you get any DLC, Make sure is thr Switch one version).

So basically, it IS the Switch 2 version even though it isnt.

@Wewewi if the protagonist of South of Midnight looked like Lisa Hamilton from DoA, it would've sold better for sure.

More than an OLED screen, I'd buy a switch model with more storage.

Square out here making their Switch 2 releases as unappealing as humanly possible.

No physical cartridge, no save transfer, no upgrade.

I hate so much about what theyre chosing to be.

Damn, out of all the games to be doomed to game-key card, this one hurts quite a bit. Game sounds great, right up my alley, but I make a point of not supporting this format, even if I really want the game in question.

@SpaceboyScreams if i recall, the Pokémon Company considers the Legends games part of the mainline franchise.

I don't care what they wanted this game to be. The moment a POKEMON game got released as a game key card, it was dead to me. It's incredibly insulting.

I am interested in this so I'll check it out. But if I get the game, it'll be the switch 1 version.

@OpheliaDynamight the thing about taking swings and having some misses is that you gotta get some homeruns in that make up for the misses.

People aren't owned jobs, and no business in their right mind is gonna keep paying people who do nothing but lose money.

You compare it with Nintendo but, in their case, Fire Emblem WAS gonna go bye bye until Awakening revitalized the series and proved it was worth keeping around.

Microsoft actually had that same mentality as Nintendo for years, they were very hands off with their studios ans IPs. And the result was the various financial failures they had.

What they need now is smaller teams, solid visions, and agile development. Not 14 layers of l bureaucracy and thousands of people not contributing.

@Bizzyb to be fair, A LOT of thr studios they closed and people they laid off were involved in making games that were financial failures. (Compulsion games: South of Midnight was a Flop. Double Fine: Keeper and Kiln were massive flops. Undead Labs: hasnt made a single game since 2018, Obsidian: Avowed and Outer worlds 2 both underperformed).

I get that it sucks when people lose their jobs, but Xbox had waaaay to much fat that needed trimming in their studios. Specially considering the new CEO said their projects had 14 layers of middle management.

They had a very "hands off" approach to their studios, mostly letting them do as they pleased and that obviously wasnt working, and a good chunk of them were not making money. So I totally see why a reset was deemed necessary.

No upgrade, no new content, no save transfer, no real physical version.

There isn't a single reason anyone should be buying this.

We also got confirmation that the japanese physical release is NOT a game key card. If the western is proper physical too, I'll gladly pick it up.

@SuperEndriu I full expect Black Ryuji, Ann being actually promiscuous, Haru's dad being Elon Musk and Shido being a Trump allegory.

...oh no...

Alright, here's my prediction:

After One Piece, I'd LIKE to think Netflix learned their lesson with being fsithful to the source material... but Avatar proved me wrong, thig This gon flop.

@Krlozgod yeah. it would at least offset the storage issues. it's the main reason I barely buy any games on the Switch 2 anymore, since I had my whole Switch 1 backlog with me.

I feel like not even Nintendo predicted how overly abusive of the game-key card format publishers were going to be.

Yes I did, and no, it's not enough. I wish Nintendo had made the Switch 2 with 2 MicroSD slots to be honest.

A MODERN SONIC COLLECTION? THAT SOUNDS AWE-oh.

Its just the 3 most recent games that are readily available everywhere.

Not adventure.

Not Heroes.
....
Well then.

@Bizzyb I doubt it since Marveleous has noy used game-key cards once, and Bethesda and CDPR are fsr from bring "indie or small" yet Indiana Jones and cyberpunk were physical cartridges. Even Sega released Sonic Racing Crossworld physically despite the rest of their output being GKC.

it's a deliberate choice by the publishers. Nobody is forcing them.

@Nao120 my personal issue with GKC is mainly due to storage. I already had a pretty sizable switch 1 backlog and I like to have the all accessible at all times (most of my games are physical and I've been going out of my to track down physical versions of as many of my digital games to save up on storage space).

The GKC removes completely the ability to have a physical option and completely disregards the fact that there's only so kuch storage on the switch 2. Even with a 1TB microSD. (I actually didn't mind the concept of them when they were first announced since I thought they'd be limited to games too big for a cartridge or games that have constant live-service style updates. But the big publishers have been releasing EVERYTHING is GKC which just feels downright disrespectful).

@Nao120 as if the game-key card wasn't reason enough to skip it.
