@spacely_sprockets just got my copy and can confirm they are
That was in an SP mission, not campaign mind you - I imagine campaign is also

@Crono1973 it really is a great concept, I think they’d struggle where to go next, which I mean as a compliment to the design they have

The word usage is interesting there, 'successor model'. Unless its a translation issue, to me that seems like an acknowledgement of a 'Switch 2', not an entirely new console/concept i.e. a new model as a replacement of the old

Dino Crisis reveal would be nice

Cautiously looking forward to this however the visuals in Jurassic world evolution which frontier made were just ridiculously blurry in handheld mode that I need to wait to see how this one wends up before getting my hopes up

@Ooccoo_Jr Agree too - I used to be a PC player, recently took a look at steam and could just not believe how large some of the installs are for games now - how much crap/unused assetts there must surely be in there that bloats the package and degrades performance must be unreal
i.e. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 @ 149GB - what the.....

@DonierGunad For sure try it! Controls are tricky but stick with it!

I did like this on Switch but I found the controls left alot to be desired, im hoping 2 improves on this

@contractcooker I thought it looked about on par with what we saw with Metroid Prime Remastered. I imagine if this is a cross gen release the 'Switch 2' would have additional visual flourishes?

Really looking forward to this release, and so shocked its even a thing. As a big fan of the 1982 movie, I never got the chance to play this - looks like I finally will

@TrueBlueYoshi At this stage, I'd say theres a good chance of that happening which is fine

Glad theres a demo coming, as I dont know quite what to make of this from the trailer

@jesse_dylan I got really fatigued with the origional game, and cant see myself picking this up for the new path. As a new player however, I'd probably recommend going Path of Vengeance in-case you become fatigued with it like me.
Coincidentally, I cancelled my pre-order this morning, great reviews but the thought of playing through the game again, I just cant do it
Edit: Important side note for me - I've not played Persona 5, this review makes me really think I should be doing that rather than replaying SMTV

@Teksetter nice if it is, shows they care

@Mormel hoping so!

I hope they get the message and crack on with a dino crisis remake!

I'll pick up the physical of the first, I think it releases later this month, and have a play through of that

I think this would be better served on the next console? Civ 6 was great on switch, at least I really enjoyed it, but I can’t see how its successor would run well. Wonder if this is a placeholder announcement and they’ll just bump it to the next console nearer release, as Nintendo wouldn’t allow companies to announce for their new console yet

Such a shame, that background art had to be from The Thing when you see side-by-side. Hopefully it is their next project, else someone in marketting department got the images wrong
Edit: Actually it says it will be announced at IGN Live Friday, looking at the schedule for that it doesnt start until 9pm UK time so there could very much still be hope for The Thing being announced tonight

It doesnt seem that long ago that this, Bayonetta 3 etc were announced, a long wait and now here we are saying they released years ago - how time flies! Metroid Prime 4, where are you....

@Mattock1987 Played on Switch and Steam Deck and the difference is quite vast. If Switch is the only option then players should go for it, its a functional but ugly game - however if other options are available I highly recommend it played there

I think despite all these updates, my time with NMS has come to an end after about 20 hours. I feel thats enough for me and despite multiple attempts to try get back into it, I just find it boring now. Great they're still suppporting it like this though for all the fans out there, nice to see!

@Hoshiko Top tip I came across, a blusher brush! Great for dusting lego

@Farts_Ahoy Theres having to keep it clean/dust it too. I have a few Star Wars diaoramas and that can be a pain

I specifically mentioned the negativity of their policy on the franchise in my comments on the survey

@Poodlestargenerica I suppose they get a D- for effort in that atleast they put something on there . Would have been really nice having a proper physical of that collection

Likewise i've not had an issue with LRG. The massive bonus for me is that the whole game is on cartridge, what I really cant stand are physicals that release with a download required, I mean whats the point? - the metal gear physical still makes me sad
I also got some pysical games that otherwise might never have gotten physical releases like Alien Isolation and Doom Eternal, which is nice

Theres going to be 6 of them?! I only really remember 1
Oh, and Declasified on Vita

Would have been nice as a reversible cover that, similar to Metroid prime and advanced wars reboot camp

Wondering how much effort Netflix are putting into the show, what with it being cancelled after the next 2 seasons

This makes me really want Desert Strike/Soviet Strike/Nuclear Strike. I'd be happy with just Desert

@SalvorHardin I've not played much of TotK so dont know if its in there, but combat something like Dragons Dogma might be good for large bosses, where you can climb onto them and attack specific areas i.e. each large enemy has HP for each limb etc. Again not sure if something similar to that is already in there, but think it could work well to freshen it up
On top of that as an idea, if you could pick up heavy objects and hurl them at enemies for specific area damage, i.e. hurl a rock at a large enemys leg to cripple them and make them hobble to reduce their speed, making it easier to take them down

@PikminMarioKirby this is why I’m really looking forward to TTYD, as I did quite enjoy origami king bearing in mind it’s my first paper Mario. The characters and story writing I thought were great and I must say I think it’s my favourite Mario franchise. It did feel like it was too long though. Roll on the 23rd!

Steam reviews dont seem great for this, I'm not sure why they bothered?
Happy 1st review Echo! Sorry it had to be this one...

I really enjoyed the sky isles at the beginning of the game but once I got on terra firma I really lost interest quickly. I did really enjoy those initial hours with the game though but can’t really see myself going back

@Denoloco I'd really want this too, its a shame having some great physical games where not all of it, or even all of it (such a shame with the metal gear collection) is not on cartridge

Their support for steam deck for evolution 2 is good, in terms of a graphics preset and controller mapping I believe so I could see them putting the effort into a switch successor port

I was really enjoying planet of Lana, but I’m coming up against game breaking bugs. I hit one switchup mentioned and took me some effort to get past, and then a more recent issue where I’m stuck again due to a bug. I’m waiting h til it gets a patch or 2 as it’s a nice game

@razza1987 that is very true and a fair point

@LXP8 It would be nice to have additional content added down the road. I strikes me theyre taking a similar route to their recent sports titles, where the biggest emphasis is online with a barebones single player. I love mario strikers battle league for its gameplay and aesthetic, I just wish there was much more meat on the single player bone

Very strange game this - as a proof of concept I can see its worth, I find it quite relaxing just to while away some time in at the moment but will quickly get bored.
I'm wondering what Nintendo were thinking with this, was this always the goal for the game, or was it a quick dev job to plug a gap that a Switch 2 delay left? I assume not, as its releasing so close the Paper Mario, I imagine if that was the case they would want to stretch out the schedule somewhat. It seems this is the game Nintendo wanted....

I’ve played it briefly and the performance in handheld is not great at all. I’m not a frame rate fanatic or anything, but to me in its current state it’s no very enjoyable handheld so uninstalled for now. Hopefully a patch or 2 will sort it out, as it feels like a great game

@DwaynesGames you might be in with a chance as it’s the same dev

This to me, after watching the review, just looks so boring - I'm going to have to return my pre-order (more fool me)

I enjoyed Abzu many years back, Subnautica too so I feel I need to give this a try - not 100% sure what to expect but worth a go

@BeefSanta Ah ok thats fair enough then, whenever I hear amounts of lost progress like that it sets off alarm bells for me as I dont have much time to game so dont like losing progress. I just put down Metal Gear Solid 3 for this reason, as it seems to save from start of each scene and not at that specific moment you save

@Poodlestargenerica I'm just surprised that the license owners dont do more due dilligence into them when selling license rights, unless they know what they will more than likely get and are just happy to sell the rights for some cash regardless of any (potential) brand damage

The publisher is GameMill Enterainment, the same publisher of Skull Island: Rise of Kong. How they keep getting licenses to produce these games is beyond me

I watched the SwitchUp review last night and this one definately needs patching - they said they completed a 2 hour dungeon for the game to crash and lost all progress. I cant afford to waste that sort of time having to replay, once its patch up maybe I'll reconsider. It seems like this isnt just an isolated crash either, but it crashes quite often based on their review

I really enjoyed season 1 and will probably rewatch that in the future. Season 2 was ok, wasn’t keen on season 3
