@SwitchplayerJohn Don't get too excited. It is not a true volume adjuster. It is literally just a flip that's either 'normal' or 'loud' for the music. Better than nothing though. Especially for anyone who thought the music volume was too low.
DLC is pretty much guaranteed. I mean just look at how much DLC 8 got. I think they're just taking their time with it. Not gonna rush it out.
100% agree with the comments here, I am so fed up with this open world crud! What's the worst part of Mario Kart World? Yeah, the boring open world free roam junk. And by the looks it, it appears to be the worst part of Prime 4 as well.
I'm still excited to play MP 4, but I'm not expecting it to blow me away like the original did on the Gamecube all those many moons ago.
I've never wanted anything banned more than AI in my entire life with anyone caught using that vile crap sentenced to a mandatory minimum 10 years in prison.
Welp, I quickly lost my enthusiasm for this so called Cho Aniki "collection." Apparently all it contains is the first 2 games in the series and they want 40 bucks for that?! Outrageous!I thought this was an actual proper collection. There's like 8 or 9 more games in the series. No wonder everyone seems to hate LRG.
Holy crap, never thought I would see a Cho Aniki collection. I had the first game on the Wii Virtual Console, but sadly none of the sequels got dropped on the good ol' VC.
They really need to add the TurboGrafx-16 to 'Nintendo Classics' as well. A lot of good games in that library.
@Cia I'm an old fart who actually played Bungie's Marathon trilogy for Macintosh back in the 90s. I remember I was pretty a taken back when I saw how dumbed down Halo was in comparison. But I guess they made the right decision since Halo made them FAR more money than Marathon ever did.
Also, that new Marathon.. I don't know what that crap is, but that is NOT Marathon.. It has no business using the Marathon name. Just had to say that LOL.
@Haruki_NLI Why is a Switch 2 version of Minecraft necessary? I personally hate Minecraft, but I could easily play it on my Switch 2 thanks to the backwards compatibility right now if I wanted to.
@MyMemory Oh lordy, this whole comment reeks of ignorance..
For the record, Nightdive seldom remakes old games. They remaster them and make them easily playable on modern consoles. Blood here for example has never been on any game consoles until now.
@judaspete You know they added multiplayer(with crossplay) to Turok 2, right? And no surprise, the servers are now ghost towns.. So I can kind of understand now why they didn't want to originally.
@judaspete I would love it for Nightdive to remaster all 4 games, but that seems unlikely. In fact I don't think Nightdive has yet to remaster a single racing game. Seems like they put most of their focus on first person shooters with a few exceptions like The Thing and Shadow Man.
Nearly 80 gigs? Lordy.. We are going to need 2 terabyte Micro Express SD cards soon here! I just got a 512 gig card(which is the largest they make right now) and just my Switch 1 software alone is eating up over 200 gigs of it..
Much like the TMNT Cowbanga Collection, one of the most long overdue collections ever! The classic MKs have been absent from Nintendo hardware for literal decades now.
@SwagaliciousJohnson I'm skeptical Wii is ever coming to NSO because of storage issues. Nintendo should have not used Micro SD cards on the Switch 2. Gamecube is already pushing it.
@KevinLo9 I couldn't agree more. After a decade in the making, I am really disappointed with World. I don't hate it, but 8 is so much better. 8 to me is peak Mario Kart. I put sooo many hours into it over the years, both on the Wii U and Deluxe on the Switch. It always be near and dear to me. What a beast of a game..
@DollyrotsFan1 Most of those games will never see the light of day because of licensing. Sadly this has been a problem going all the way back to the Virtual Console on the Wii. Typically only 2 to 5% of any systems game library end up on the service. The fact that Goldeneye made it to NSO is nothing short of a licensing miracle.

Uhh, who wanted this collaboration? Best I can recall, everyone wanted the Doom Slayer added to Smash Bros.

Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.4.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Another disappointing update. All I want is a traditional 3-lap mode, but nooopppeee. Back to 8 I go again.

Re: Turok And Turok 2 Have Been Updated, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I'm confused. Wasn't cross-play already a thing for Turok 2's multiplayer?
Re: Call Of Duty Dev Sledgehammer Games Seeking Talent With "Switch Experience"
If Black Ops 7 is any indication, maybe it is for the best that CoD stays away.

Re: Random: Steam's Brand New Game Console Sure Looks Awfully Familiar
@Folkloner I was thinking the same thing. It is so bland. The Gamecube had character.
Re: Nintendo: 84% Of Switch 2 Players Transitioned From The Original Switch
@Anti-Matter I immediately dumped my Switch 1 after I got my Switch 2. The backwards compatibility is so good I felt no need to keep it.

Re: Xbox Reiterates Its Support For Switch 2
@Kamen-S To be fair I remember a time when saying "Sonic on Nintendo" sounded just as wrong.
Frankly I'm glad Microsoft is giving up. 3 consoles is too much IMO("three's a crowd!") and I've always thought that.

@Toastmaster It is bat ***** insane that the Wii U somehow got 2 CoDs and the Switch got none. Like seriously, WTH?

Re: Nightdive's Excellent 'System Shock' Remake Is Getting A Switch 1 & 2 Port
I didn't think the OG Switch could even run this.
Re: Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective Digital Sample Available For Free
So they release a book about the trilogy, but not HD remasters of Prime 2 and 3. Oy vey..

Re: Heretic + Hexen 'Update 1' Now Available For Switch
@The_Nintendo_Pedant It's Nightdive. Would you expect anything less? They simply ooze excellence.
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Runs At 30fps On Switch 2, Team Investigating Performance Mode
That is some terrible optimization. Switch 2 should be running that at 60fps barely breaking a sweat.
Re: Splatoon 3's Spooky Splatoween Splatfest Returns Next Month - Which Team Will You Pick?
@Yobreeze Way off topic dude.
Re: UK Charts: Well, Look Who Cruised Back Into First Place
How does one of the worst Mario Kart's ever made continue to sell so well? Power of the IP maybe?
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
There should be an option to update 3D All Stars to include Galaxy 2. That's where it should have been in the first place.
Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Finally Gets Switch 1 & 2 Release Date
Besides for Gameshare, the Switch 2 version seems pointless. You could play the Switch 1 version on your Switch 2 and I suspect it would be identical.
Re: Panzer Dragoon Zwei: Remake Resurfaces, Will Be Playable At TGS 2025
At long last! I had given up hope. I. know a lot of people hate Forever Entertainment, but I still think their remake of the first game was good.
Re: Switch Online's Mature N64 App Expands With Another Title This Week
@Toastmaster No, Switch does not. For reasons unknown, Nightdives remaster of this game has remained exclusive to PC and Xbox One, sadly..

Re: Revived Publisher Acclaim Is Teasing Something For Next Week
I am still waiting for Extreme-G 2 on NSO. What's the hold up? Now that Gamecube is on NSO, Extreme-G 3 and 4 are a possibility too.

@Moistnado You just need a Switch 2. The new Joy-cons handle the gyro aiming much better.

Re: Apex Legends Switch 2 Performance And Resolution Upgrade Detailed
@LuigiFanno1 Ah, you're right. But they cost 280 bucks. That's far too expensive.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Rating Spotted, Fuelling Nintendo Direct Hopes Again
@eldersnake Why aren't you playing Switch 1 games on it? It's backwards compatibility is great.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Rating Spotted, Fuelling Nintendo Direct Hopes Again
I still can't believe Prime 4 was first announced when the OG Switch was still a baby. Longest development cycle in Nintendo history.
Re: Poll: How Many Hours Have You Spent In Mario Kart World So Far?
