Is this worth picking up now after the various patches/updates?

@RoboCube Glover 2 was never completed.

Damn, these TVs are expensive. Looks like I'm sticking with my cheap ol' Vizio for the foreseeable future. No 120fps for me.😒

Ironic considering that's all Sony has done for decades. Same console over and over again with a power boost. There's not much left in the 'innovation bucket' at this point anyway. Damn near everything has already been done. Just the natural consequence of the video game industry being 50 years old.

While I do still want a Switch 2, I am getting a bit worried about the future. I think the negative effects of Iwata dying(long gone now, but never forgotten) and the massive success of the Switch 1 are now unfortunately starting to appear. Remember Nintendo is now run by a pure business man who likely never even plays video games and cares only about maximum profit. He is the polar opposite of Iwata. It is going to be very interesting to see where the Switch 2 is in a couple years..

One thing I'm sure of is if a year after the console releases it is doing Wii U numbers, the price cuts will begin. Remember what happened with the 3DS? It started off pretty poorly, Nintendo cut the price of the system in response and sales skyrocketed.

Everyone is rightfully complaining about the $80 price tag, yet no one is mentioning you get Mario Kart World for just 50 bucks with the bundle. I literally could not find one dork Nintendo YouTuber whom even brought this up.

@Qwiff Thank you kindly!

So he says: "somewhere in between a software emulator and hardware compatibility."

Interesting..

@8bit-Man Oh but of course. You can see on my earlier comment I was already pretty well convinced it was going to be dual Switch/Switch 2 release. Seemed very obvious to me.

@8bit-Man Sooo.. Are you satisfied now? LOL.

I'm confused. How is it doing backwards compatibility? Is it running the games natively or this emulation?

@Dee123 What a ridiculous comment. Why don't you just wait until the Switch 2 Direct in just a few hours instead of making grand assumptions. Nintendo has not announced a single game for Switch 2 yet beyond showing us that tiny bit of footage of the next Mario Kart, so why would they announce a Switch 2 version of Prime 4 before the Direct?

LOL. Like that wasn't extremely obvious. If that was Switch 2 footage, that would be pretty bad. If there is a Switch 2 version(I think there is, but we still don't know) I would expect it to look better than that.

@BandeeOfTheStars Let me know how your hat tastes!

@Sylamp Oh I see. Well I still feel MP4 is Switch 2 bound LOL. With Switch 2 and Prime 4 both confirmed to be releasing this year, it just seems likely to me.

@Sylamp They did for Wii U. Breath of the Wild.

@Jack_Goetz 🤣🤣🤣

@HalBailman I'm betting Prime 4 is also coming to Switch 2. Ever since Twilight Princess Nintendo has had 1 big final release that is dual platform.

@Jack_Goetz What about Winder Waker and Twlight Princess HD?

@DwaynesGames And yet a lot of people hate NSO and want Virtual Console back. A single SNES game on Virtual Console was 8 bucks. NES games were 5 bucks.

Like anyone was actually playing this shovelware.

I am deeply concerned the tarrifs are going to make getting my hands on Switch 2 a very expensive endeavor. My limit is about $400 for any game console. It is such a crazy, chaotic time to be an American. I would say more, but will restrain myself as to not risk having my comment deleted.

@OorWullie Hmm, that's a bummer if true. What about Forsaken though? That was released on Xbox so no reason they shouldn't also be able to release it on Switch.

I just witch they would bring their remasters of Forsaken and Blood to the Switch! I've begged them for years now, but it keeps falling on deaf ears..

Sad that Star Fox Zero is going to be one of the few games that remains a Wii U exclusive. It might not be the best in the series, but it still has value. For several years I had hopes they would port it to the Switch with modified/improved controld, but alas, don't think it is ever going to happen as we are now at the very end of the Switch's lifecycle.

I really do hope there's a marked improvement on the Switch 2 eShop. A giant company like Nintendo with billions upons billions of dollars can and must do better! They simply have no excuse.

@beartank Thank you!

Does anyone know how you drift in this game? I can't find any tutorial in the game and since there's no manual(like you would have gotten with the actual n64 cart back in the day), I'm left scratching my head.

@Koda1000 Well the funny thing is "boomer shooter" is completely inaccurate. Very few Baby Boomers actually played Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake etc.back in the 90s. That whole now legendary id Software crew that made Doom were all young(at the time) Gen X'ers.

The Dark Ages was not announced last week. Come on now NintendoLife. 🤦‍♂️

Why are people excited over an inferior SNES port of Fatal Fury 2 when the superior Neo Geo versions of the entire series has been on the eShop for years now?

@FragRed I thought the same thing, but we have no idea where the game is in development. Could be an early build. I'll reserve judgment until I see the final product in person(not a compressed youtube video).

Woop! Mario Kart 9 at long last!

@Waveboy Yep, the color and fun has been sucked out of everything. Remember how McDonalds used to be?

@Lord That's just some California exclusive thing. Obviously nonsense. Handling a Switch game will most definitely not give you cancer LOL. I am Californian, born and raised in the Bay Area, but a lot of the stuff they have on the books now is absolutely absurd. It wasn't like that when I grew up there back in the 80s and 90s.

Pff. Definitely one to file under "big deal.." considering it's a 14 year old game most of us have already played.

Stop assuming NSO will go away. That's pure speculation.

@Nintendoboy1994 Yeah, I'm also disappointed that the 3rd game was just left in the trash bin. They literally just released a new physical collection that has 1, 2 and...4 sigh I can only assume it is a lack of money issue because the HD remasters of 1 & 2 were crowd funded. The collection is still worth buying though. You get the 3 games for 40 bucks. Not a bad deal IMO.

@Pipulitoch LMAO @ your profile picture! 🤣

I feel like they might drop DK64 for Christmas next week.

@Jhena No it wasn't. It was well made, but the forced team mechanics ruined it. All Stars and Transformed were much better.

Did Sumo Digital develop this one?

How is that awful Blackops 6 at 3?

Isn't the publisher of this notorious for vaporware?

I thought The Thing Remastered was supposed to come out today.

@nocdaes That's a bit of an over exaggeration. MK 8 moved over 8 million units on the Wii U. While that of course pales in comparison to what Deluxe has done on the Switch, that's still a large number. I agree though that the leaks are underwhelming, but I'm not convinced they are legit either. Nintendo has had a very long time to develop this console. Surely they came up with something more than just a more powerful Switch with a larger screen and magnetic Joycons..

Now that's yawn inducing. 😴

Hard pass. Not digging the style at all.

@AmyTheBrawler That was the Sonic Gems Collection. I also had it for my Gamecube back in thr day.

@Bass_X0 You're confused. We're talking about Donkey Kong Country for the Gameboy Color, not Donkey Kong Land here. Different games.
