@benmalsky198 agree, if it’s making money

It’ll make money for sure, but with pretty rough critic reception I wonder if this spells the end of Mario movies for now

Thoroughly enjoyed it on Switch when it released for around a year, even put money in and don’t regret that at all. However after trying Switch 2 version after so long it’s just not a game for me anymore, it does look and perform a lot better though than Switch

@Gaming_Since_The_80s I’ve noticed that too compared to the first months, nice to see more teams have them, especially Saber as they were one of best port specialists on Switch - Witcher 3 Switch 2 edition maybe, or maybe the rumoured new expansion!

Saw this in The Game Collection last week, was hoping it was legit, though I’d prefer their latest game Roadcraft to come eventually

I was a good chunk into tomb raider 1 back in 2024, and got it installed last week as I fancied continuing - glad I waited just that little bit longer as this'll be the best time for me to come back

Glad to see this hasn’t been brushed under the rug but PEGI has taken action towards it. I’m a father now, and for young children to be exposed to such things (akin to gambling) can’t be good at all for society in general and doesn’t sit right with me at all. Less exposure is a good thing

Looking forward to this when it comes out - seems at the moment my Switch 2 is a Capcom machine

I got the generations pack just by virtue of it seeming good value compared to buy all 3 digitally

Makes sense if it’s for R & D for their own handheld, exploring ideas etc

@Neckcrane Thanks for the info, I'll have a think on this and see if I can play 7 first - likely I'd only finish one of the RE's this year as theres other good stuff on the way I want to play/complete

@Neckcrane I did check it out but that one didnt really appeal to me, will I be missing too much if I skip it? I understand its the same main character. Worse comes to worse I might read about RE7 story if I need to, as I tihnk I'd be happy enough skipping it to play 8
Edit: Its a free time thing why I'd skip 7

I'm more interested in Resident Evil Village of the 3 releasing this week, getting the 'physical' 3 pack so that'll be the first I play - the setting and enemies intrigue me as a resident evil game. I've played none since 3, so curios what directions they took since (first person etc, that'll be weird for me!)

@PALversusNTSC it is good for things like that, aslong as proceeds from use go to him/his family by agreement I think we’d see it used more often

I think licensing someone’s voice for use in this way would be good. An example I thought of for this a while back was Cyberpunk 2077, where some VA’s (Panam for one) apparently wasn’t available when creating the PL expansion. Fair enough, here’s some cash to license you’re voice and we’ll recreate with AI - I think that would be ok right?

Very nice for people who are after this, just made my hopes higher/now expecting a Pikmin 4 uplift at some point so I'm happy! And all the potential for it to shadow drop like this whenever

@pikachupikachup a tip that may help. If you have the physical, or a friend does, buy the anniversary update for the physical then get the free upgrade - it downloads as a separate game - then you can return/sell the physical if you want as you no longer need it to play switch 2 edition

@Yodalovesu that’s a good one, as that kind of broke the visual experience for me how flat water was. Shame it’s docked as I’m handheld only, but a nice addition nonetheless

I wouldn’t agree with this “a colossal achievement and one of the best-looking games on Nintendo’s console” - I was crawling among woodland in one of the earlier flashback scenes and the brown foliage textures on the ground just look like a blurred mess, couldn’t even tell they were leaves on the ground just by looking, the only way you know is through your assumption of what it is. Also, a lot of the time it seems so washed out with the ‘fog’. Visually not an appealing game for me personally.

@John_Deacon They really are, I was wondering if they'd change direction with solo content compared to Switch, but based on this my initial thoughts are I'll be skipping all Mario sports games on Switch 2 as this seems the way Nintendo wants to approach them.

Its like the odd direction with Mario Wonder too, I dont care for the multiplayer content at all there, but I do want the upgraded visuals

I’m happy to let this pass me by, as the lack of solo content seems to be a continuing trend from the Mario sports games on Switch - I’m still gutted about Mario Strikers, that had so much potential and could have been so much more

Enjoyed the demo and will get this. Next one to try is Star Trek Voyager - enjoying all of the demo's we're getting so far

One I’m looking forward to next week that isnt mentioned is PGA Tour 2K25, hoping it’s an ok port

@Gabe250 excellent thanks for the info, appreciated!

@SpaceboyScreams this is a minor worry of mine, enjoying it so far but how will 3 fair on Switch 2. I’m hoping they don’t move to unreal engine 5 for it as that might cause problems on Switch 2

I’m not really seeing the many benefits of AI yet, at present and as a genuine concern of mine it’s really starting to devalue the worth of the internet in terms of having to really question now what is real/accurate information and what is not, especially in more important areas around my area of work (IT)

I’m not all that fbithered by the censorship per-se, for me it’s the way it’s done with the black bars - when I watched a few video reviews I felt like it’d be far too distracting for me when playing. Might get this eventually but it’s really dropped down my buy list now. I think this move will cost them a lot of sales on Switch 2, I feel like the devs should fight Nintendo on this if possible (loss of earnings etc) but it’s probably something specific like no animation with nudity in Nintendo’s legal conditions somewhere as mentioned

I’d like a tentative release date for Indiana Jones, also Elden Ring news would be good.

I’m not really one for metroidvanias but just want to give a shout out to MIO - Memories In Orbit, it’s really sunk its teeth in me. Well worth it for any genre fans (I think - I’m no expert) and especially newcomers, very enjoyable

@sketchturner great thanks for letting me know, from the positive comments it sounds time I pick this back up and get it completed as the issues sound like they’ve been resolved

@Divide_and_Wander thanks for letting me know! I’d really like to complete this before 2 releases, based on Lofoten’s response above I’ll give this another shot

@Lofoten perfect thanks for your reply! It sounds positive so I think I’ll pull this out of my collection and play asap before the release of 2. Thanks again!

@Divide_and_Wander Did you play this on Switch by chance? And if so how was it, did you experience many bugs? I'm really interested to know as I do want to go back to this - the reason I ask is that I got it at launch as I loved the look of it, yet I hit quite a few bugs early on, 1 bug (mentioned in the SwitchUp review where the 'cat' keeps dropping from the sky) which totally blocked my progress and made it unplayable.

@dabaumer yeah that’s the catch, I did keep hold of some rarer ones and some I enjoyed that I’d probably play again but if I kept them all the wife would have had my head for spending even more on switch 2 games 😀

@dabaumer that’s a big backlog going already 😀 I’m trying to be sensible with Switch 2 as I had so many games on Switch, when I came to sell most of them it was crazy how many I’d barely played and the money I’d wasted - hoping I can keep it sensible from now on but time will tell

@dabaumer thanks for the reply, I’ve added it to my ‘to play’ pile next to finishing off persona 3 dlc and Star Wars outlaws. Issue is next major distraction is now inbound with the ff7 release, I might try get this going in between sessions of that

Resident Evil 2 remake is the one I’m really keen for, just for nostalgia reasons back to PS1 days. Hopefully with all these RE titles coming to Switch 2 it’ll be on the table at some point

It’s the comments online that have put me off playing this. I’ve had it since launch but seeing all the negativity really saps the desire for me to play it. This article does help somewhat to give me a kick to give it a fair chance. (I’m not a longtime Metroid player/fan so I might appreciate it more)

I’d really like a demo for this as I’m really 50/50 on whether I’d enjoy it or not - hopefully closer to/post release one drops

A quiet refresh of the chipset like they did Mariko with Switch would be nice, I believe that’s what increased battery life, which I’d be all for

My bad perception from EA came from their chasing of in-game purchases I.e. loot boxes and whatever’s happening in fifa - they seemed to me to want to gouge the customer for as much as they could , the Star Wars Battlefront 2 saga as an example.
But then to balance this in my mind, they’ve published games I’ve really appreciated that have none of this such as Command and Conquer Remastered a few years back.

At the end of the day they’re a business out to make money for their shareholders, as any listed company is, and they do this via games. They need to maximise this return and I understand that more now as an adult - if doing so means they can fund other great games then so be it

Baldurs Gate 3, Switch 2 with mouse mode and already nice install base, come on, it has to happen right. If it doesn’t it sounds as like the IP holders decision, and what fools they are if this is their decision to not launch on Switch 2 - totally illogical

@HugoGED oh right, I honstly didnt know that. Not sure why they'd reboot it, as the origional was great - I assumed it was jhust the same on a newer engine. Thanks for clarifying!

Was the 2019 remaster of modern warfare not as good as the original - I chose 2019 as I figure that’d be the better version, just to see in results the original has a higher percentage of votes - just genuinely curious, was it bad?

Fond memories of the original, would love to see it in either form come over

@Duncanballs memories! You just brought them back of the PS1 magazine with the demo disc

@Duncanballs yeah agree, wise to wait for a sale on FF is that’s more likely.

For me on Switch my main issue was I never really completed games, trying to turn that around with Switch 2, though a lot of great stuff is out/coming out so need to be mindful what I pick up - I really appreciate all these demos were getting lately, that helps

The demo did interest me but the major issue is time. Final Fantasy 7 is out this month which will take me months, just finishing off Persona 3 Relaod which I’ve been playing since launch then seeing this could be a good 80 hours, I just can’t possibly fit it in with resident evil releasing in Feb also. Wish I had more time, but with Switch 2 I’m being more sensible and not having a ridiculous backlog of games that will never get played and to be honest I’m getting more enjoyment from the system by actually seeing good games through to the end now

I hope the single player contents decent, I found it lacking in a lot of Nintendos sports games in Switch. Mario Strikers was a huge disappointment in that regard, but could have been amazing

I’m glad Feral have dev kits already, they did some stellar ports for Switch

@Scoopz I do also feel from what Atlas said in a previous statement that it seems abit of a rushed port, and as DF mentioned it’s probably under resourced (in terms of devs working on it) though to have it at all in atleast happy about as I’ve been really enjoying it. Looking forward to more from Atlus, P4R hopefully next
