Ah nice, finally, thanks for the review! Yes, the game is great. I've never played the original, so I'm new to the series, and this one is awesome! I'm enjoying it a lot. I can't wait for Ys X Proud Nordics on the Switch 2 too.
@siavm The RE remakes of 2, 3 and 4 will be the next games Capcom will bring to the system for sure. But I understand they didn't want to bring them all together, it wouldn't be a good marketing decision. Bringing 7 and 8 at the same time as 9 makes much more sense, as they're connected.
I'd say the remakes will come to Switch 2 by the end of 2025/ the beginning of 2026. Probably by the time they release their next remake lol (either RE 0 or Code Veronica).
I like that Nintendolife covers this game so much, but now seriously... Where is the Trails in the Sky review?? It really is surprising that most websites do not care about this game... It's hard to understand.
Trails in the Sky, of course! What a fantastic remake of a fantastic game. Hopefully the review won't take much longer, everybody needs to get to know that game.
@UltimateOtaku91 "or just not buy these games and move on".
Do you mean people shouldn't buy 95% of third party games? Getting only first party games would be a shame in a console with so much and so great external support.
@RoboCube Yes, I understand they're a small team, but as you said, there's no rush. They can perfectly fine take their time and release it when it's completely ready, and therefore, score better this time. If I were them, I wouldn't even hesitate.
@Real_Obsi Speak for yourself, pal. I'd get a Resident Evil game way over a Professor Layton one. I guess I'm more a Gamecube player than a NDS one, you know...
Not surprising, considering Inazuma is still coming this year. It would be crazy to release both titles together. As long as Level 5 is definitely back in the West, it's fine by me.
2025 - Fantasy Life and Inazuma Eleven 2026 - Profesor Layton and Decapolice
@Axecon Only bad thing they said it's that it runs at 30fps. It's a great game though. 8/10 seems fair to me, even though I'd rather wait for next year's version, when they get used to the console and give us a proper 60fps football game.
I'm SO excited we're getting RE9 on Switch 2...! I wasn't expecting that at all, but seeing how good are the ports of Cyberpunk and Star Wars, I certainly have faith this will be a very decent version of it!
By the time we get Borderlands 4, FFVII Remake (and especially Rebirth), the REs, Elden Ring, Indiana Jones and 007, I think the Switch 2 will be getting most third party games. This is the kind of external support I've always wanted to have on a Nintendo console. I can't believe we're finally getting it, even if it lasts only several years (until the next gen takes its place).
Next ones should be Expedition 33, Baldur's Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, any Monster Hunter and the latest Silent Hills.
Pretty fun game! I'd rather had a proper sequel, tbh, but it's been quite a long time since I played it, so it's probably a perfect time for a second run, with all the improvements and extra content.
I'm sure the bike is only going to be a way to move among the main areas, as a hub, like the starship in Metroid Prime 3. Instead of travelling around a galaxy, though, this time we travel around a huge planet with no magical elevators that take us to another continent, like in other previous games lol. If it ends up being like this (I certainly hope so), I think it's going to be pretty cool. It seems fun to play!
@Dimey Same here, I didn't get 3D All Stars, not just because it was really expensive for what it was, but because I don't really like 64 and Sunshine, and they haven't aged very well..
The Galaxy games, however, are simply amazing in every way, some of the best games I've ever played. So this pack is pretty much perfect for me, even though it's still pretty expensive for what it is, so I'll wait until I find it cheaper somewhere else.
Well, I was planning to get this either on Switch 2 physical, if it wasn't Key Card, or on Switch 1 if an upgrade path was available. None of these options exists, therefore, I'm not getting the game until it's on a sale. No rush.
If SE don't want our money, then we won't give it to them. Easy.
@Nambit "I bought Metroid Prime Remastered and loved it, but the HD graphics didn't really make the game experience any better".
No, but the controls did. I didn't remember how the game played back on GC, it's way better now. They did a great job, and I hope they do the same here with these games (adjust the weird Wii controls to the modern standards).
I don't have 3D All Stars because I don't like much 64 and Sunshine, but the Galaxys are some of my favorite platformers, so YES, I'll be getting them... eventually. When they're on sale lol, I'm not paying that much for them, I'm not so desperate.
I like a lot that they're being released separately from the others, and with much better visuals (4K!).
Great to know it's coming out this year! I was fearing it would be pushed to 2026...
The bike seems to be a way to move around the different areas of the planet, same as the starship in Corruption, but now you can actually use it, and even fight with it. Fine by me, it looks fun haha. Day one for sure.
I only tried the first on the 3DS, and I didn't enjoy it much... But this one looks really good. I certainly hope this game will be fantastic, and so I will enjoy it!

Re: Even Capcom Was Surprised At How Well Resident Evil Requiem Runs On Switch 2
RE 2, 3, 4 (the remakes), 7, 8 and 9 will be DAY ONE on the Switch 2. Can't wait to play them on the go, knowing that they will look this good!!

Yes, the game is great. I've never played the original, so I'm new to the series, and this one is awesome! I'm enjoying it a lot.
I can't wait for Ys X Proud Nordics on the Switch 2 too.

Re: Hands On: Resident Evil Requiem Switch 2 Footage - A Surprisingly Tense Port
This will be day one for sure! I can't wait to play this in handheld mode, and of course, with the third-person perspective.
I'm loving so much the third party support the Switch 2 is getting...!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th September)
@trymer89 Man, can't wait to have that Indiana Jones game on my Switch 2! I bet I'll love it as much as you.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th September)
Trails in the Sky, of course! What a fantastic remake of a fantastic game. Hopefully the review won't take much longer, everybody needs to get to know that game.

Do you mean people shouldn't buy 95% of third party games? Getting only first party games would be a shame in a console with so much and so great external support.
I don't know if that's the correct way to go...
Re: Video: SEGA Shares "First Look" At Yakuza Kiwami 3's Combat Gameplay
So what's the reasoning behind the use of Key Card with this one?
Please Nintendo, do something ASAP to stop this madness!

Re: Are You "Unsure" About Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade For Switch 2? Don't Worry, There'll Be A Demo
@NintendoWife Yessss. And the remaster has a lot of very appreciated QOL features.
Re: Are You "Unsure" About Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade For Switch 2? Don't Worry, There'll Be A Demo
@NintendoWife Do yourself a favour and play the original VII and IX. Some of the best RPGs you'll find everywhere.
The original FFVII >>>>> The whole remake (even though Rebirth is quite good).
Re: Are You "Unsure" About Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade For Switch 2? Don't Worry, There'll Be A Demo
@TrueBlueYoshi The battle system is very similar to the Kingdom Hearts one, if you have played it. Or the Ys series. Classic action RPG style.
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Runs At 30fps On Switch 2, Team Investigating Performance Mode
@RoboCube Yes, I understand they're a small team, but as you said, there's no rush. They can perfectly fine take their time and release it when it's completely ready, and therefore, score better this time.
If I were them, I wouldn't even hesitate.
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Runs At 30fps On Switch 2, Team Investigating Performance Mode
The main focus of this game should be the Swtch 2, so, if they're smart, they'd better have a performance mode ready by the time the game comes out...
Re: Review: Klonoa: Empire Of Dreams (GBA) - One Of The System's Best Still Plays Like A Dream
Played again the first two Klonoas on Switch not long ago, they've aged pretty well! Especially the first one is awesome.
I have never played this one though. I think it's time for that!

Re: Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam Has Been Delayed Until 2026
@Real_Obsi Speak for yourself, pal. I'd get a Resident Evil game way over a Professor Layton one.

Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Scores A Free DLC Update This December
Wow, nice! I still have to start the game, but it would be nice to get into it with all this stuff included.
Love me some free DLC ^^
Re: Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam Has Been Delayed Until 2026

2025 - Fantasy Life and Inazuma Eleven
2026 - Profesor Layton and Decapolice
Curious to see what will come afterwards.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews For Hades II On Switch And Switch 2 Are In
Can't wait for Nintendolife's reviews on Hades 2 and Trails in the Sky. All the great games come together!
Re: Borderlands 4 Has Been Delayed For Switch 2, Digital Pre-Orders Cancelled
@iLikeUrAttitude "I thought the Switch 2's extra power would make it so we wouldn't have all of these delays and compromises with it's ports."
This is not a Switch 2 thing. It runs terribly everywhere, the game should've been delayed in all platforms.
Re: Borderlands 4 Has Been Delayed For Switch 2, Digital Pre-Orders Cancelled
Good thing they delayed it. It was a technical mess on other platforms, it would've been even worse on Switch 2...
It's always better if they take their time and release it properly.

Re: Review: EA SPORTS FC 26 (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Football Game, Once You're Used To The Frame Rate
@Axecon Only bad thing they said it's that it runs at 30fps. It's a great game though. 8/10 seems fair to me, even though I'd rather wait for next year's version, when they get used to the console and give us a proper 60fps football game.
Re: New Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Trailer Showcases The Remakes' Fresh Features
The Switch 1's boxart is way nicer, a pity that we can't upgrade with this one... Sorry for SE, but these new games deserve to be bought on a sale.
Re: New Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Trailer Showcases The Remakes' Fresh Features
They look good, but I still have to play III lol. And I think I'll play VII first of all... Random battles kill me.
Re: Opinion: Resident Evil Requiem Represents A Turning Point For Switch 2

Re: The Touryst: Deluxe Hits Switch 2 Next Week At 4K / 60fps

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer
They are ver expensive, yes, indeed, but so is DKC Returns lol, and it's a worse remaster that doesn't even have a Switch 2 upgrade.
Nintendo being Nintendo, nothing new or surprising here.
Re: "It Was A Bit Of A Perplexing Experience" - Hideki Kamiya On The Fan Reaction To Bayonetta 3
