My number 1 pick is north america classic series and number 2 is the europe version. I don't like the japanese version since it looks like a bit cartoony while the english version looks more serious.
@romanista I want the dock but the shippping cost is crazy, $60 for the $100 dock. I wish I bought my analogue with the dock and screen protector back then
I prefer to play gameboy colour/advance on my analogue pocket, but it's great that anyone on switch can play this games now. I hope nintendo make a (2D) sequel for it π
128GB would be nice, although I don't care much about internal storage as long as we get good non-proprietary external solutions.
I hope it's not sdcard though since it's slow compared to ssd on ps5 or xbox series, maybe the switch 2 could get smaller ssd for it's external solution, although maybe even the smaller sdd is too big for the console.
Playing castlevania dawn of sorrow on my new 2ds xl, I never have nintendo ds and only have 3ds xl for a short time (for playing super mario 3d land and sold it again because I don't like the screen and the system is too big), so I'm missing so many classic games on the ds/3ds era. And after this I still have the 2 sequels, castlevania potrait of ruin and order of ecclesia, man I love this console π
I wish switch 2 have the body of new 2ds xl (with 2 screens) so we can get castlevania ds remaster with crisper 1080p resolutions, and many other old ds/3ds games too.
Also just bought full void and alwa's awakening/cathedral evercade cart, I'm playing full void first since it's a bit short compared to other cart. It's a pretty good game, like prince of persia or another world but with easier difficulty, you still die a lot but it's not frustating since the checkpoint is fair.
The audio, I want to have atmos or at least 5.1 surround support for every switch 2 games. It's annoying playing switch games on tv that didn't have that audio support, while playing it on ps5/xbox the games has it.
I like playing indie games like shantae and the seven sirens on switch in portable setting and continue it on my tv, but the audio is way inferior compared to playing it on ps5.
I actually didn't experience joycon drift even though I have switch 1, v2, lite, and last, switch oled (I usually sold the previous version before buying the new one).
@VoidofLight I remember when final fantasy 7 is out on psone back then, squaresoft market the heck of it on gaming magazine and others place. But unlike ff7, octopath isn't big enough for the type of marketing like that, so most ps5 gamers didn't know about the game, they just see the number 2 and not interested in it since they can't play the first one I think.
@Grumblevolcano I agree, squareenix should release it on quiet month when there's no big game on the horizon. Especially not in the same month as hogwarts legacy.
I think the switch exclusivity gave the first game a lot of attention, squareenix should make the second one exclusive too for at least a year or half year in exchange of additional promotion by nintendo rather than release it on all other system and be forgotten.
Also squareenix should port the first game on ps5 too, I don't think many ps5 gamers want to buy the second game while the first one isn't available for their system. Squareenix should release the first game and sells a bundle of the first and second octopath game for ps5.
I hope he can find new job or maybe make a new studio soon. I enjoyed platinum games (bayonetta series, nier) and I hope platinum will be fine without him too.
Why there's many salty people in this thread, maybe kamiya blocked them on twitter lol.
New golden axe with 2D graphics like atlus dragon crown will be super cool I think, also 2D phantasy star remake with 2D-HD engine like octopath traveller
Nice, after playstation we're getting nintendo years in reviews
My first game in 2023 is deedlit in wonder labyrinth, most played games astalon tears of the earth, metroid prime remastered and ninja saviors return of the warrior (I like to replay the game since it's so fun to play).
@TotalHenshin Man 3DS activity log app is so good, it's really gave us detailed views of our gaming time on the console, I wish switch or at least switch 2 will have app like that.
It's kind of funny our old console is more feature complete than the new one, my new 2ds xl and ps4 have true folders on homescreen while switch and ps5 don't.
This looks awesome but the adventure seems so... small, getting to the sword is just a couple of seconds, which feels like a walk compared to the gameboy version which feels like an adventure with more screens transition.
Weirdly I didn't feels that with the 3D remake for switch, maybe because link walking speed is slower compared to the 2D version, so it didn't feels getting the sword is just a short walk. I think prefer playing the normal gameboy colour version on my gba sp and analogue pocket first, and the 3D remake second.
World (wilds) series is for next (current) gen games, rise series is for portables I think. Maybe capcom will release it for switch 2, or maybe make monhun rise 2 exclusive for switch 2 hardware rather than making inferior port of monhun wilds for switch 2.
@Samalik I had steamdeck (already sold it though, it's too big for a portable, kind of interested in the oled version), trackpad is kind of useless, like ps5 dualsense trackpad, I want physical trackball like in the old pc mouse π
I want console gamepad with trackball, I think first person shooter will play lot better on console if the gamepad has trackball rather than just analog stick
Great, that's why their games is soo good, employ people by their skill rather than other categories.
Also the fact their employee have to stay out social media and focusing on works is great too, maybe all western company should do this too, rather than wasting their time on twitter etc π
This is from the devs that made deedlit in wonder labyrinth, so of course I'm gonna have it day one. I already bought deedlit on steam, xbox series and switch
Looks great, I want to buy this on steam but I rarely play games on my pc anymore. Besides, the switch is perfect for playing 2D games like this, I hope the port is good π
There's no hope for western gaming isn't it, all becoming live service hell. Oh well, there's always japanese, nintendo, and retro gaming for me. And I guess western indie games is still okay.
I don't even bother with western AAA games now, including sony 1st party games, since they're western (california) company now π
Can't stop playing my new 2ds xl lol, compared to switch the screen is way inferior, but man the console feels so right in my hand, so in the end I like playing games on it more than on switch.
Now I'm playing shovel knight and shantae risky revenge on 2ds xl, unlike shovel knight however, risky revenge are nearly unplayable on ps4 and pc because the pixels are too big and pixelated for tv & monitor, playing it on switch is okay, but man playing in on 2ds xl is the real deal, the graphics are perfect for xl π
Sega have good things with sonic mania and sonic frontiers, they should absolutely make sonic mania 2 and frontiers sequel, and make the 3D sonic next-gen exclusive so it will have next level graphics (put it on next-gen console/switch 2 only).
After a couple of days with my new nintendo 2ds xl white/orange, it has become my favorite nintendo hardware (number 2 is gba), so yeah I want switch 2 with sleek dual screen device rather than just one screen
Oh and I want it portable too with 5inch screen so it can be folded and put in my pocket, just like new nintendo 2ds xl.
@DdG1408 Already preordered evercade exp, but the handheld still haven't arrived, already watched a lot of youtube reviews about it though, so I know most of the games available for it. I don't have other evercade system.
@wazlon It's a really good, collector device, if you want to emulate games with nearly perfect emulation, you can't go wrong with it, the hardware is really solid with great display too.
There are cheaper option however if you just want to play older games (like miyo mini, etc). The analogue pocket is expensive at $220, add $100 if you want to play it on tv, and don't forget to add $60 for shipping (if you're in asia country).
I didn't buy the dock when I bought analogue pocket a year ago, now with cps2 core already available I want to buy it, but the total price with shipping is $160, plus about 20% tax in my country π
