I’d get this again if they made a good port for Nintendo Switch 2 (and on a physical cart, not digital key card bs). The Nintendo Switch version runs like hot garbage.
23·5 days agoIt’s been a total shit show for quite some time now…
I think it’ll definitely pass the DS, not sure about the PS2 though… 🤔
I was hoping for a physical release, I’ll definitely get it now 😁
I’d get this day one if it was the whole game in a cartridge, instead of the stupid game-key card 😠
That’s cool! And it gets cooler when you get a Skell!
I haven’t played the Making of Karateka. I think I’d really enjoy it too, but I decided I had to miss at least one (I can’t afford all the games I want to play both in money and time 😄).
How are you enjoying Xenoblades Chronicles X? I thought of getting it, but I played it on the Wii U, and I have too many good Switch games to play, so I didn’t double dip.
I’ve been playing Star Overdrive, which I talked about here. I need to get back to Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story and eventually start Tetris Forever. I got the physical version, but I know once I start it, it’ll be the only game I play for a while 😅 I love the Digital Eclipse interactive documentary format!
I played a bit of The Mortuary Assistant recently. It’s scary but quite clunky and sort of boring in parts. I’ll give it another chance soon, potentially this weekend.
Exactly! The NES or Famicom d-pads are perfect. How did they get them wrong for the most expensive Switch controller?!
At least this time around they got the naming right 😅
But yeah, publish a FAQ somewhere. I don’t even want to get started on NSO and digital games for Switch 2…
I finished it in just under 20 hours. I was trying to get to the ending to be able to write the review before the embargo lifted. And I didn’t know how long it was. So I’d say it was a bit more rushed than I’d usually play. You need to do a few quests to level up your board and character, but you don’t miss out too much if you only play the main story.
The performance is fine, there are issues in specific parts with a lot of objects, but nothing too big.
It runs well, the gameplay on the trailer is real. It has some frame drops in specific situations, but like any other Switch game. Nothing game breaking. And the action and surfing around the world is fast.
Can you buy the cart for Metroid Prime 4 for Switch 2 and use it in the original Switch?
I’m not sure about this. Maybe? The box says “includes the Nintendo Switch game”, but it’s not clear.
Or can you only buy the Switch version and then if used in the Switch 2, get the upscaling benefits, but not any extra content?
The upgrade pack is also available separately, either buying it or if you have Nintendo Online. The upscaling I guess comes for free for any Switch games.
I played through the main story with a review code, and it’s pretty good. It doesn’t hide its inspiration from The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it adds the hoverboard stuff and other features and puzzle mechanics which are interesting!
Good to have confirmation on this! That’s how I’m getting Metroid Prime 4 then…
Nintendo: This is a more detailed point but for the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller directional buttons, we made it so that it’s even more difficult to have mistaken input. Of course, it doesn’t completely eliminate that possibility but it should reduce it.
I’m glad they fixed the embarassingly terrible and unusable d-pad from the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. I can’t believe that d-pad passed the QA or testing stages of the release process…
Sorry, it let me see it when I clicked on the link. Here’s the archived page: https://archive.ph/RoaEN
Nintendo cuts 3DS price amid poor sales - July 28 2011 Nintendo is slashing the price of its 3DS handheld game console by up to 40 per cent just four months after its launch, with poor sales leading to a Y25bn ($321m) quarterly loss.
They thought the same with the 3DS, and had to cut the price due to poor sales. Hopefully something similar happens this time around. They’re excluding a massive amount of people who can’t afford the system and its games, particularly in these times where normal people keep getting poorer.
Yeah, it’s a shame that there’s an improved HD version stuck on the Wii U now. This and Twilight HD both. But they’ve been rumored to be coming to the Switch for ages, so maybe they’ll come to Switch || Switch 2 eventually.
It would still need a proper graphics revamp. It does not look good on the Switch 😬 In one of the videos for Switch 2 they showed loading times for Zelda were much faster. That would really help here if it applies to all games, but the game would still feel subpar.
