Those are pretty good numbers for indie games! And of course they're going to sell much more, everywhere I see people talking about them.
I'm honestly more concerned about the sales of other GREAT games such as Trails in the Sky remake... Not many people talks about it. I hope it's selling well!
First I should get Arceus, and if I like it, I might give this one a try. On sale, of course. Never gonna pay full price for a Pokemon game! Not until they start taking the franchise seriously.
Remember guys that the physical version won't be a Key Card. And hopefully the game will run at 60fps by the time it's released (December). So it's definitely a good idea to wait a few months with this one!
@topsekret You haven't played the rest of the games on Switch 1, right? They look terrible for no reason at all (it's not that demanding). This is NOT a problem of the Switch 2, I tell you... Lazy developers.
No couch coop, really...?? That's dissapointing, especially knowing that the game is very similar to the previous ones (I already thought the second was too simey, so...)
Oh well, I hope Reanimal does everything a bit different, and better.
Very much looking forward to this game, as I never played the original (the sequel eas great!).
Let's hope they release an update with 60fps by the time the physical version is out, which will NOT be Key Card, let's not forget!
@datamonkey I think Rebirth will come over by the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027 at the latest. And the third part by 2028, along with the new PS/Xbox gen.
In case there 's anyone that don't know them yet... Lol.
I guess for the young ones that start playing videogames now this might be useful. Although it's always better to discover all this info by playing the game, actually.
I don't have 3D All Stars because honestly, 64 and Sunshine haven't aged well... The Galaxys however, are still amazingly fun, so I'll definitely grab these at some point!
No rush, though, I'll wait until I find a good deal somewhere.
@Jhena It was irony, man lol. You said that the Switch 1 was fun, and 2 is not, which is funny, as Switch 1 didn't even have backwards compatibility...
@Jhena You're right, the Switch 1's backwards compatibility was really really fun! Having to pay full price for the same games we had on WiiU (or more, like Donkey Kong TF) was simply amazing. So much better than the Switch 2 situation indeed!
Some people say that this GKC problem will end up with the games being only digital. Which is fair, actually. However, I know I'm not alone here, I NEVER EVER buy digital games at full price (if they are the same as physical). I only get them when they've gone on sale and the price is reasonable (actually, when they cost less than 30 bucks). So I doubt that's the way companies want to go...
It's the same with books. You can't expect to be charged the same for a physical book and for an ebook...
Good price, I might get it day one! The game looks great, and I've never played the original.
Do we know if the physical version is... well, you know what? I guess it is, as the article says "proper", but just to make sure.
The game is on a Key Card with no reason, it runs at 30fps (and not very smooth), and it doesn't look that great. Perhaps it would've been better to DELAY also the Switch 2 version, and release everything properly, all at once...
Sega, you can do much better. You don't deserve our money yet. Try harder next time.
Definitely Chronos could look better on the Switch 2, we know the console is powerful enough for that. So, before they release a sequel, it would be nice to have a patch to optimise the game. Once they do, I'll pick it up for sure, it looks great!
In any case, I can't wait for Silent Hill 2 to come to Switch 2!
They're expensive, indeed. It would be smarter to wait for a sale, yes. But that doesn't mean they aren't the best 3D platformers ever made. Must have.
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.

Re: Atlus To Address Persona 3 Reload's Switch 2 Frame Rate Hiccups In "Future Patches"
Nice! Then I'll get it by the time the patch comes out. Or better, on a sale in the near future, as the update will be there for sure by then.
Re: Absolum And Ball X Pit Post Excellent Initial Sales, But They Deserve More
Those are pretty good numbers for indie games! And of course they're going to sell much more, everywhere I see people talking about them.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 May Clash With Metroid Prime 4
That'd be great! Even though I'll get Metroid first for sure, I'd buy this one not long after (when it's on sale, we all know Ubisoft already).
Re: Final Fantasy VII / VIII Remastered Twin Pack And IX Switch Physical Releases Confirmed For North America
Is it that hard to put all three together...? For that price, I wouldn't expect less.
Terrible.

Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
New games, no more than two. And mostly from Nintendo (as they are well optimised).
Games that are on a sale, updated and with all patches included to make them fully optimised, between 5 and 10.

So it's related to Pikmin, to no one's surprise.
I'm glad, I LOVE the series!! Hopefully we'll have Pikmin 5 for late next year!
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Switch 2 Trailer Introduces Shinra, The Turks & Avalanche

I hope that happens! Such a fantastic game, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Playing this on a handheld would be soooo good!
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?

Re: More Switch Games Get Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes

What is Nier Automata waiting for to get fixed...?? It's not precisely a game nobody knows and cares about...
Re: More Switch Games Get Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
@Jhena You're right, the Switch 1's backwards compatibility was really really fun! Having to pay full price for the same games we had on WiiU (or more, like Donkey Kong TF) was simply amazing. So much better than the Switch 2 situation indeed!
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
I'll try them both eventually, once I have the chance, and also Kirby Aur Riders. And then I'll give a definitive answer to the big question.

Thanks, mate!
Re: Review: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (Switch) - Cracking Karting, But Struggles To Keep Up On Switch
I'll wait for the Switch 2 version to come out, thanks.
When is it coming, anyway?

Is this for real? Of course third person! As I played EVERY Resident Evil game except VII.

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!!

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: Video: Square Enix Shares 37 Minutes Of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake 'Seabed' Gameplay

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: 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).
