not my list, but mario odyssey at #4 is actually ridiculous. It was not as good as so many of the games under it in my opinion, still a top 10-20. but the open world zeldas at the top? Hard to disagree without your rose colored glasses on.
now i'm regretting buying it on steam, sounds awesome! though i would rather lower resolution than dropping fps in splitscreen. 4p mk world splitscreen is unplayable to me
Just got my physical copy from ebay for $50 but this is one I plan on selling when I'm done with it anyway. It's on the back burner till I finish silksong and ZA though 😂
First impressions are that it runs decently well for a slim hybrid console but definitely a little comparatively choppy coming from gaming mostly on my PC. Looking forward to the open world part as it's mostly been on rails so far
8/10 for me so far I love the combat and the return of mega evolution, and I'm a huge fan of the Kalos region already so I might be a bit biased. But the renowned flat buildings, tiny wild zones, and only one music track for Lumiose and the wild zones respectively are getting a bit old, and I'm only 7 hours in... not distracting enough to stop me from having a good time but i really do expect more from a game I've already spent $70 on and with a $30 DLC....
every time i hear about this game, I wonder why I haven't bought it yet. they are doing so well in supporting their game at such a low price with free updates. I don't even know if I'll like the gameplay, i just want to buy it to support awesome devs like this!
edit: looking at the steam page rn, looks like some dlc is paid. but i want to play as an among us crewmate so thats another reason to support them lol
@iLikeUrAttitude what do you mean? the port being delayed because it was horribly optimized is a bad thing? would you rather pay full price for a bug-riddled experience? This is honestly a great move on the developers part considering how poorly the game is running on far more powerful platforms, giving time to optimize the game elsewhere before releasing it on a less powerful platform.
@SpaceboyScreams Excuse me but 3DS MOD??? Link me to some more info?
On topic, silksong so far is a masterclass of a game. Only a couple hours into act 2 and loving the game. My friend who just got the true ending says best game ever. My only complaint is the money economy being super tight so far. I've heard it gets better and I've found some enemies that drop a significant amount in the area I just found though.
So excited to see where they take it. Original hollow knight is one of if not my favorite game I've ever beaten so expectations are very high for the endings here!
It was really good and showed a lot of games I am excited for, but most of those games are already announced. Looking forward to my first playthrough of galaxy 2 on switch 2 though!
I skipped the S/V DLC for being way too expensive and releasing on top of an already broken game. I have very high hopes for ZA (Kalos was my fav game!) so if the base game is good, I will definitely be buying this.
Which I hate. Announcing paid DLC before a game comes out is such a scummy move, but I know I'm going to love this game enough to buy it...
@WiltonRoots Personally, I love super mario galaxy. I've never played the second one (thats about to change!!) and I've heard its better than 1. The soundtrack is amazing and I am a big fan of the gameplay structure and art style
I am enjoying the game at the difficulty it is at so very much. The two bosses they are nerfing in the next patch were two of the most fun fights so far imo (i think im at the end of act 1?)
I may have invested a hundred hours into the first game and had a headstart, but the gameplay difficulty so far is perfect to keep me engaged without blowing through every fight
what annoys me is every bench and fast travel station costing rosaries and enemies not dropping enough to keep up. I haven't had enough money to buy anything but benches, stations, and maps and I haven't even died without my cocoon and lost my rosaries once!
On steam, I managed to buy it only 6 minutes after launch. Downloaded very fast, played it for about an hour. So worth the wait, very excited to see where the game goes from here. Unfortunately, I have a friend who is still wrestling the steam store...
never played a sonic racing game until this network test (I played on my pc) but wow this game is looking to be fantastic. I've said it on this website a few times, but I'm here for the Miku vs Steve racing game, but unironically I really enjoyed my time with the network test (maybe even more than I enjoyed MKW?) and I'll definitely pick this up at some point.
I have a fantastic PC that could run this game much better than the switch 2 at a cheaper buying price but I'm honestly tempted to buy it on my switch 2 anyway to support the physical medium they sell it on. Super cool that they stand strong in a market of key cards
@Friendly I did the first 4 pantheons but never finished the fifth one where you fight them all in a row... Such a grind but I really do want to win it someday
This is beyond cool. Definitely going to play some more of this. Hopefully I can add more storage to my spaceship with this, my biggest problem with the game is that I have to make a base to store my things that I usually need on my person
My high school had a MK8D team, we even won a state championship! Glad to see there's more opportunities opening up for others to have the same experience I did.
Played this with my sister last night, and yes, exactly what it says on the tin. Will definitely get my 7$ out of this, super fun and simple game making the most of the switch 2's new feature. Would recommend!
@YunoboCo respectfully I really hope not because that means we would get more timeline shattering time travel nonsense spinoff story like Age of Calamity...
How on earth are you already testing this on a modded two? Did I miss something?
Also, it would take a lot of work? It takes up precious programming time for a game they've already moved on from, they're probably working on something new. Just because a modder can do it doesn't mean that it was easy, or they probably would already released it.
Not saying it would be super cool to have a switch 2 version though. Haven't played the game yet but heard great things about it
My pro 2 has serious disconnection issues with both my s1 and s2. Which sucks because I bought it for my switch. Still works fine on my PC for the rare game I play with controller on PC...
@Jumwa someone may have already replied to you, but if you factory reset a banned switch 2, you can no longer connect to the internet to set it up, bricking the system… so yes, this can brick a system
@Real_Obsi
What negativity? They are pointing out a solution to a problem that multiple people were experiencing. Nothing in this article is negative, if anything they would be praising the high quality hdmi cable for its impressive shielding…
In fact, maybe you’re the one wanting beef, because I just felt the need to reply to your comment. Good job 😂
I played Super Mario 3D World docked and had some pretty noticeable frame drops in the first few levels (3 person split screen)… just my personal experience. Probably was running in 4k though bc my system is set to auto
I love having the ability to play these games but the drip feed is infuriating. I have played f-zero gx for a little bit and enjoyed it, so looking forward to trying this game and series for the first time as well.
@Polvasti it allows the case to be thicker while keeping the functionality of the og dock.
My dock has been scratching my screen so I have decided not to cancel my preorder for this case despite the other issues. If I don’t put my switch in the dock, I can save the screen a little longer 😅
I love undertale, and honestly comparing deltarune to undertale is a disservice. This game stands on its own as something very special, and I’m so excited to see what Toby has in store next year for the last 3 chapters.
My guess is that since the terrain is mutable, it is not taking up space in the game because it would have to be generated on system rather than completely modeled in storage… if that makes sense?

Re: Capcom Switch 2 Launch Title Gets Its First Big eShop Discount
