@Friendly I've been waiting for more colors and wallpapers for over 9 years now, so I'm not going to get my hopes up. And don't even get me started on folders..
The fact that they couldn't be bothered to even add some more colors for the Switch 2 UI kind of says it all.
@UltimateOtaku91 Yes it does. The difficulty settings were shown in the Direct(the actual star fox direct a few weeks back..not today's direct). Don't be intimidated. There's some challenge, but nothing you can't handle.
This game came out several months after Mario Kart World and has loads of DLC while MKW still has zilch a full year after launch. Nintendo could learn a thing or two from Sonic Teams work ethic.
Could not disagree more. 👎 A full year after release and it is still very meh. The updates were mostly low effort and only marginally improved the experience. Ever so often I will boot it up and give it another chance, but without fail I quickly lose interest. Compare it to 8 or not, all I know is 8 kept me coming back for years. I absolutely adore it. It is my favorite Mario Kart and one of my favorite games period.
I've no doubt more updates and DLC are coming that will hopefully improve things, but as it stands now, World stands along side Tour as one of the worst Mario Kart's ever made IMO.
The question is, will the game be good? CoD is one of the most tired, milked to death gaming franchises ever. Last years Black Ops 7 was AI infested garbage. If it has Zombies, I might bite.
Technical limitations? Oh please.. I have a Switch 2 so it won't affect me, but I'm still calling BS on that. There are a number of games on the OG Switch that have crossplay.
@Aquinas I could not disagree more. Most "rich gamers" already own a PS5. The $900 for the Pro is absolutely revolting. I think the sales are going to tank this month.
@Spider-Kev How have you never seen that before? Boomer shooters has been used to describe 90s style FPS for a few years now. Although it is wildly inaccurate. My parents are boomers and they were most definitely not playing Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem, etc. They didn't grow up with video games and thus had no interest in them. It was primarily Gen X and Millennials playing the early FPS back in the good ol' 90s. Whomever coined "boomer shooter" clearly just liked the way it sounded.
@EarthboundBenjy Uhm, I assumed the reviewer was talking about the original 2D Rayman that got scrapped during development. The N64 Rayman 2 is already on Nintendo Classics.
@ElkinFencer10 But we knew Eternal was coming from the beginning. On the other hand, with Dark Ages Bethesda and id have not said a word about a Switch 2 release. So we're just left wondering what the frig is the deal?
@Flashlink99 The new Castlevania has me kind of meh so far. Despite it being "Belmont's Curse", it looks to be very much in the rudy anime art style that has dominated Castlevania for far too long now. They need to go back to the classic European gothic style that made Castlevania famous. I also hope that boring generic music in the trailer isn't indicative of what's in the game..
@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.

@Shmicko Highly unlikely Majora's Mask will get a remake at the same time as Ocarina.
Switch versions of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD are long overdue though.

Go Capcom! Friends with Nintendo since 1985.
Time to port the other REmakes to Switch 2. Give us the whole kit and kaboodle.

Death to cloud gaming! Capcom needs to free the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes of their cloud shackles too.

Re: Mini Review: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition (Switch) - Nicely Orchestrated But Misses A Key Note
@EarthboundBenjy Yes, that one. I didn't say you were supposed to assume that, just that I assumed that since Rayman 2 is already on Switch

@Dang_69 Whom are you responding to? The article says nothing of it coming this year nor do I see any comments claiming so.

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.
