Re: Review: Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV - A Fantastic Addition To An All-Time Party Game

romanista

Mmm. Played the new minigames on the switch2 event. Loved them but in the end they were jaust a few new minigames.

Really dossapointed that they didn’t integrate it with the rest and didn’t upgrade the basegame.

This isn’t how i imagined switch 2 versions to be. Mario party is a normally a sevenish game (maybe jamboree is better). But for an upgrade which doesn’t upgrade but just an upsell this seems a dissapointment to me.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza, Like Mario Kart World, Was Initially Planned For Switch 1

@The_Nintend_Pedant hi, (changed your nintendolife name from wc, or do you you just share avatars?)

Agree it's iterative, and that the sports games have been disappointing, but iterative is not a bad thing, since switch 2 really feels much more premium

I would say 'zero evidence the drift is stlll there'.. they used a different mechanism (and feels great), since hall was not possible,.. that's not a weird thought..

And the TAG system is so much better than (slow WiiU-) folders... for me... having shmups in one, but also some of them included in the M2 group, makes it so much faster..

Re: Poll: How Are Your Download Speeds On Switch 2?

romanista

seems quite ok docked (ethernet) but slower than ps5 next to it.... (250 v 400 , while my phone gets via wifi 500+) not sure if the tips in the article are for docked and wifi alike..

wifi in my room seems perfect for playing .. no hickups seen... haven't really tried it anywhere else yet

Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed

Still livoing the gamer , athough i still hope they'll add a classic mode (i suspect an update with dk and pauline constumes around dk's launch)..

for me the biggest problem is that when playing 2 player online the second player doesn't get any points... i often do this with my son and now one of us is playing just for fun, while getting a few points does help as a target and to align the competition

Re: Dave The Diver Is Getting A Free Switch 2 Upgrade "Soon", Says Mintrocket

romanista

@JohnnyMind @sylamp It does run a tiny bit smoother, but i also heard response time is a bit laggy , so great that they will make a new upgrade.. Mintrocket has been great in providing updates and new content for this, it really is one of my favourite switch games, and with the updates it is nice to return at times (even though the dlc's usuaully thake 30 mins to complete)..

Re: Poll: What's Your Switch (2) Game Of The Year So Far?

romanista

mmm... think i might have played most ACNL this year, after ejecting some sd cart space into my 3ds and discovering new stuff...

MKW during dune.. lots to love, something not so much (the 3 lap structure is one thing, but what I really don't like is that player 2 in online doesn't count... i play in that setup often with my son, since years, but now only one of us get ranking points and the other just plays along...

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week

romanista

I already saw that this was there on the nintendo pre event in amsterdam, so not not surprised it is the first... excacly one month after the switch 2 release, so i suspect a monthly drip from now on..

I never have play the GC version, and pleasantly surprised how fresh it looks..Dayse is so cool. Did like charged but in retrospect didn't really went into it.. The switch was disappointing, and too much focus on that special shot (as often with mario sports games these days), and the meta-game just didn't work...Bough it based on the review here which seemed to completely miss that

so quite happy that it is there, hopefully my kids will give ti a chance for 2 player..

Re: Drag X Drive Switch 2 eShop Price Revealed

romanista

@rjejr yeah, demo seems like a good idea
.. iplayedn it portly on the the nintendo pre event in amsterdam in may..seems fun, but you have to play to experience it..

we couldn't see the meta game.. if it's just one game mode not sure if I'm going to buy it, but 20 euros makes it in my impulse buy zone for nintendo branded games.... *one of the reason they should have made a switch select..)

Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"

romanista

It's always interesting to see* what DF think of a new product. I'm not usually a big tech person (pc gaming? why? ps5? got it but give me games), but they can bring some new light to things, and John's retro specials on e.g. 'water in games' clearly shows his love for the medium.

I was expecting the screen to be the focus point, since basically I loved it until now, so I hope this won't be if you have seen it, you can't unseen it.

Many of the mentioned problems can be fixed in firmware, and I think only really show up in the real world (I guess in their japanese testing world they only had HGIG (am I the only one who thinks about the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy with this acronym) TVs and thought it was standard...

On gameshare: it's not for nothing ofcourse they used the example of 51 worldwide games as an example in the videos.. it's not really meant for fastfusion...

And the cables made me laugh... Even though i have to untie my cable soup, for a non-df setup they are ok for me
