@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.

@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.

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...

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!

And don't forget Trails in the Sky!

@canaryfarmer That's a good question, same here lol.

@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...

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 ^^

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

Curious to see what will come afterwards.

Can't wait for Nintendolife's reviews on Hades 2 and Trails in the Sky. All the great games come together!

@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.

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.

Can't wait for Adventures of Elliot!

@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.

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.

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.

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.

I guess we'll have to wait for the next year's version to get the real deal. Not surprised, tbh.

@Polvasti Whatttt?? I didn't know that! Crazy lol, those games still surprise me...

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.

@gcunit Exactly hahaha. Joker said it all.

"If you don't vibe with the roguelike, there's nothing here for you"

There's nothing here for me, then. Good thing I can use those 20 bucks on another game.

@SpaceboyScreams Both games look great, to be honest!
I mean, this one is being developed by the team behind Until Dawn and The Quarry. Good stuff.

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.

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.

Nice Platinum, now please release a Switch 2 versions of Bayonetta 3, Astral Chain and Nier Automata, please! Even if we have to pay a bit for them.

"Not long to go"

Well, seeing the poor optimisation on the other consoles, I'd rather wait longer for the Switch 2 version... I don't want a crappy port, thanks.

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!).

I'd put Mario Galaxy (1) first, but in any case, the top 8 are all insanely good. Master pieces.

Box art looks good. Now let's see how the game is!

@Marchop "Samus can become a ball - why does she need a motorbike? Just seems off."

I hope you're kiding lol. Why would you want a car if you can run?

@Emperor-Palpsy Or you can just get the physical edition, which is not Key Card lol.

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!

I mean, every game is better played on a Switch 2, so this shouldn't be surprising...

I'm glad they finally patch the game. It's fantastic! Fully recommended if you like the genre.

Hopefully SE uses the Direct to show some footage of Dragon Quest XII. It should be coming out next year!

Apart from that, I would also love to see Expedition 33, Metaphor and Baldur's Gate 3 coming to Switch 2.
And obviously, also the Resident Evils and Red Dead Redemption 2...

It is time for an Ocarina of Time remake!

It would be perfect to show just how powerful and spectacular the new console is. And I don't think we'll see a new Zelda until 2028, so it would be great to have something big in between.

This is another proof that the Switch 2 is a beast! I can't believe how many great games will come to the system in the next years without losing much quality on the way, in comparison.
It seems Nintendo's weak systems are part of the past, finally!

I plan on getting Cronos, it looks great... but it's a Game Key Card. I won't pay full price for that.

Also, it came along with Silksong and Star Wars Outlaws, one of the most impressive ports of the platform. Not the best time to be released.

@dardel Why do you have two platforms for third party games?? I mean, I understand this list is not that great having another platform, as there are not many exclusive games here. But at least you CAN play them on the go, which makes a difference.
What difference does a PS console in comparison to a PC, I wonder?
I don't think you like it better for its exclusives...

Silsong first...? But has someone already finished it?? Look, I love the first one, but the madness around the sequel? I don't understand... I think I'm too old for this stuff.

By the way, why Mario Party Jamboree has such low score? I thought it was a good game everyone likes.

They should definitely release a Switch 2 upgrade for Nier Automata, not just a common update.

Damn, Platinum should DEFINITELY release Switch 2 upgrades for all of his games, also Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain!

Prince of Persia TLC, Return to Monkey Island and Witcher 3 Complete Edition for less than 40 euros?? That's a no brainer!! Excellent games, guys.

It seems like by next year it could be a good game.

This is one of those games to get a year or so after the release, on a good sale. A classic.

It's a very good thing the Switch 2 is getting so much third party support! After seeing how Star Wars Outlaws and Cronos run on the console, I'm very hyped for what there is to come! Like Borderlands 4, Elden Ring, Indiana Jones and such. I just hope they take their time to polish them properly.

A pity this one will be a Key Card, but hey, the important thing at the end is that the game is good and it runs well on the console.

Great port! And on handheld it looks pretty good as well, according to the videos leaked.

As someone related would say: This is the way.

@SilverM I don't think Okami 2 will be a big-budget game, honestly, but rather an AA game like Onimusha, that's why I hope it'll come to Switch 2 (where it belongs, honestly haha).
About DD2, I didn't know it runs poorly on other systems, I haven't played it myself, but I wanted to do it on a handheld, like I did with the first... Oh well.

And yes, we don't know if Requiem would run on Switch 2, but considering it's a big-budget game, exclusive to this gen, I don't expect it to run well... Keep in mind that RE4 remake and Village are also on PS4/One.
