@Anti-Matter I'm aware of your preferences, but these categories aren't thought to appeal to you, it's to the general public. Personally, I don't use portability to "show of to other people" and I doubt that's the appeal for the vast majority, it's simply practical to a lot of us that have partners and families that might be using the tv and when traveling. As for the Switch 2, it has less power than the PS5 but it has more than a PS4. Right now, the device is fairly new, but I'm sure that games will keep improving as devs get used to it.

@Anti-Matter I understand, but the PS5 isn't all great either. It's not portable, the sleep/suspend mode on it or even the other portables isn't nearly as good, it doesn't have a mouse integrated on the device (just as an accessory) and it barely has any exclusive games and a lot of them are ending up on PC after some time. Also, the great majority of Switch games work on Switch 2 and some of them also run better even without a dedicated update. I agree that Nintendo could have handled retrocompatibility more efficiently tho.

Besides, PS5 isn't even competing now. Switch 2 made it's debut recently, hence why it's a contender. Personally PS5 has been my least played Playstation console and I have been with them since the PS1. This might be my last console from them.

@Anti-Matter Switch 2 is a great portable device and I don't see why it shouldn't be recognized. Once people get tired of parroting things and following the Nintendo hate trend, more people will realize that. No company is your ally, it's just business and all of them will get less consumer friendly simply because demand allows them to.

Super Metroid is the most memorable title screen of all of gaming.

@Bahamut_GR Yeah but in this case it seems to be because of poor optimization. It has performance issues on other consoles and PC and for what it is it shouldn't be that demanding.

Just played the demo, I think that it's gonna be my replacement for Azure Striker Gunvolt. The game looks more stunning than on the trailers.

Didn't care much about Galaxy on the All Stars Collection, so I guess I'm going to pass on this one.

It's a shame that there's no demo for consoles, but oh well, it should release before the end of the year. As for the last 2 characters, I was expecting them and they are welcome editions. Would have preferred Magika, Rogue, Invisible woman, Sersi or Angela over Phoenix tho. DLC is also expected but it's nice to see it mentioned already. Pretty sure that at least 1 character from the Fantastic Four will be included considering the villain.

Warframe has been my most played game of all time. Had to abandon it after many years to play other games, but I want to revisit it once it's released on Switch 2.

I plan getting this on day one. Would pre-order but it's not available yet.

Loved the remake so much. I might play it again on my Switch 2 just to see the improvements as this is one of the game that runs better without a dedicated upgrade.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 is my most anticipated game of 2026. Loved them since the first one on 3Ds.

"A rushed game is forever bad, but a delayed game might be good. Maybe not. Who Knows? Why are you still reading my nonsense?" -Me

With such a cool name, you are guaranteed to stand out anywhere. Thanks for the hard work and best of luck!

It's a shame that wrestling isn't as appreciated as it should be in my country. We are even copying some stuff from the US and personally I think that's terrible. Mexican Lucha Libre is something that we should be proud of and promoting way more. Good to see Místico and the other luchadores getting a chance to get more recognition.

I'm fine with the game running at 30 fps as long as the performance is stable. It would be great if they manage to get to 60 tho. Loved the game and I'll gladly revisit this improved version.

@Tyranexx Just to clarify it's a Rogue-lite. In games like Hades, every time you fail you constantly make progress and get advantages to make things easier in later runs. There's also a god mode to practically experience the story's ending if that's your choice, but I'd say that you'd miss out a lot of content if you do that on your first run since this game handled the runs very well as new story and interactions constantly happen with every try, which you would miss. Considering that you enjoy mythology, the likeable characters and interesting story, the price of like $5 US (I think?) and the accessibility of the god run if/when you get tired of trying I'd say that it's a very safe bet.

Edit: Just to clarify here's an explanation of how god mode works as I haven't tried it myself. Apparently you can still die but it makes things much easier with each try so you might want to try it since the start:

"God Mode is a difficulty option that can be toggled at any time from the menu on a non-Hell Mode file. God Mode grants 20% damage resistance, increasing by 2% each time a run ends in death (rather than escape). The damage resistance caps at 80%."

Ah, the elusive Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road. Nah, I won't fall for that again, no sir.

Looks kinda rough to be honest. I might give it a shot if it's fun.

Right now I'm pretty happy with World. It's great to see that there's competition tho, since that way both Nintendo and Sega have to step up their game. I'll probably get it when I see a nice deal and once it's confirmed that the Switch 2 version is good.

Sounds interesting, but I stopped playing mobile games. They usually require a lot of time spent to keep on unless you spend money. Sounds pretty cool tho

Just ordered it on physical since Borderlands 4 was delayed.

@Spider-Kev I think that you refer to Randy Pitchford saying that "real fans would find a way to buy 80 dollar games". Nothing about it being exclusive for Switch 2 tho.

@Anti-Matter It means that in reality Tencent is very hands-off with the things that they have acquired as long as they keep being successful, like Warframe.

@Spider-Kev Maybe you got it confused with Hades 2. That one will be released in a few days and will be a temporary exclusive.

Yeah, heard about that a couple hours ago. It sucks, I've been waiting to play it and was really hyped. Oh well, hopefully they optimize it.

Really enjoyed this game so I'll definitely check this update.

That's pretty cool. Haven't played in a while but I might check this out.

Looks like a fun co-op game. I'll be checking reviews.

@raymond23 Can't see how. Just because some people don't like certain things about this entry doesn't mean much.

Megaman is a good guest character, but I feel that having SpongeBob next to him and Sonic will look cursed. The characters are all over the place and without voices cheapen the quality for me. I've seen a lot of people hyping the game as the MK killer and while looking solid, I just don't see it.

@Vyacheslav333 It's a popular genre dude and an accesible one for developers now that gamers want infinite replay value/many hours of gameplay for low cost. Besides, there aren't that many beat'em up games combined with rogue-like/lite.

I'm definitely getting this in a few weeks.

Cool, I'll give it a try. Loved the previous games.

@tomasu Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately I don't have that offer available in my country but I'll get a deal eventually.

I'm very interested in trying this game when I see a good discount.

@rushiosan Federation Force was literally a Prime game gameplay-wise. I understand the dislike for the artistic direction, but aside from that people simply hated it because they thought dumb things like Samus getting replaced and not getting "authentic single player Metroid" anymore. It was a good idea to expand the universe and make the franchise more popular with a spin-off, like other Nintendo ones.

From what I've seen, the worst enemies of the Metroid franchise are the fans.

I think that Retro has proven before that they make great games. Sure, it's not an absolute guarantee, but I'll give them the benefit of doubt. Not to mention that the gameplay shown before looked quite good and honestly it doesn't look bad here either. As for a desert area being barren... well yeah. That's how deserts are.

@Vyacheslav333 People have too much nostalgia. Yes, there's many great fighting games from years ago, but there's also many fantastic current ones and the genre has never been more accesible than it is now. Besides, it's the fighting community that kills games when they don't get DLC. DNF Duel is a great game that suffered that fate. Once they made DLC, which was a year after, people already "lost interest" and it was "too little too late". So not only do people want DLC, they want the kind of content that could have been on the original release as they expect it to come soon. I'm not in favor of corporations but neither against them. It's a business practice and they just give what people want because they are interested in making as much profit as possible. Under Night in Birth 2 is a great game, but they are also making DLC.

@ryan_nil It runs it ok. Stable 30 fps , but a bit more blurry. The first HW is the one that is improved because it seems that frames and resolution are uncapped.

@nukatha Hyrule Warriors DE runs at 60 fps on Switch 2 and looks better. It's one of the games that shows a considerable improvement despite of not having a dedicated update.

This looks fantastic. I'll miss creating my character tho.

Edit: And it comes out on my birthday!

All I can say after all these years is that I think it will be one of the best games on the console and that the wait was worth it.

Never liked the appearance of this mascot.

I wasn't expecting PJ quoting Britney Spears on an NBA game review.

@Kraven I think that originallity doesn't have to be something that hasn't been done before and can also be something that distinguishes the game from others including their own franchise. So for example, with Resident 7 and 8 they used first person while most entries had third person view with either over the shoulder aiming or tank controls. 7 used a more claustrophobic scenario and 8 used a more open one. Both changed the zombies for different creatures. Stuff like that made those entries feel different from my perspective. Even the REmakes changed tank controls for the RE4 aiming and made zombies harder to kill instead of just depending on the clumsiness of tank controls to make them more challenging.

Then we have Cronos, which looks like a solid game but just that. It's very similar to Dead Space in both setting and gameplay, except that the combat seems more basic with no telekinesis and doesn't seem to do anything really different to stand out from many survival horror games. From what I've seen it even seems to reuse some assets from the Silent Hill remake. I think that a 7 is a good score. Good game, plays it safe. That's pretty much what it means.

As for all games feeling samey in the genre I agree and that's the fan's fault. I liked the more capable, expanded gameplay on games like RE6 but according to them that "stopped it from being survival horror". Personally, I think that the problems weren't with the gameplay. It was the loss of a scary, tense environment in favor of a more "action movie" one that hurt it. If you improve gameplay, make enemies that keep the scary factor. Make then more intelligent and adaptable. Do things like putting a stress meter so that the character can't aim properly when too scared or things like that. Make breakable items so that you search desperately for ways to defend yourself on tense situations, stuff like that . But then again, people seem to hate that on other games and want RE4 gameplay over and over.

I understand the philosophy of less capable characters making scary games, but I also think that you can have a very capable character as long as you also make a really challenging setting that surprises you. But that's harder to make and their public is against that. If you make all games from a genre with the same limited box of ideas then it starts feeling stale and it's harder for them to feel original.

Interesting. I do remember seeing this game announced, but now I think I'll try to get it eventually.

I'm tempted to buy it already but the gameplay seems a bit repetitive and the environment seems too samey fromn what I've seen.

I also participated. Hint: I'm the bug that does weird noises.

@Weizsgriff Sorry but if you bought a portable device without knowing and expecting some compromises, you are the one that isn't in their right mind. Besides there's already many comparison videos with other versions like the PS5 one and it really looks great and has a stable performance.
