@Divide_and_Wander THIS! I came here to say something similar. I remember seeing a lot of concern from folks online that Mario Kart World was not enough, but clearly Nintendo saw something we didn't. I can safely say I've never bought as many games for a new system as I have with Switch 2. Just a fantastic line up out the gate.

@splinters I got it for Xbox in 2020. played about 20-30 hours then lost interest. Would you say the game is much better now?

For me, this all lines up PERFECT. Sure, I could get this on PS5, but it runs well on Switch 2. Summer is here, and I've got plans to travel, so this is a no brainer for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone!

@Sahnec Love it. Instead of running a new HDMI cable to my TV, I unplugged the Xbox and used that. So, PS5 and Switch 2 are connected to my TV. I'd bet I'm not the only one. PS5 will be juuuuuust fine. It's Xbox that needs to be concerned.

@TheExile285 I'll add that it wasn't very intuitive that you had to push + to get to it! I had to look it up online, and that's a huge L in my book.

@Alcea great point about 1 2 switch. I've already spent more time with Welcome Tour than I did with 1 2 Switch.

@sanderev 100% agreed. I got the game ($10 isn't really all that much considering how much I spent with Nin last week lol), and I've genuinely enjoyed it! It's quite good. If it was a pack in game, the value would be through the roof.

I'm so excited for this game to drop... so I don't have to hear about it anymore!

@Ganner agreed on the Nintendo Store. But also...
GO KNIGHTS GO!

Patiently waiting for your guys' review! The way my life/backlog is these days, it has to be at least a 9 to jump on it.

Isn't it amazing that just 8-9 years ago, folks were talking about the only way nintendo surviving was to put their games on ios? What a difference a decade makes!

Boy I hope we still get a new assassins creed in February...

Will everything be animated to make the Switch port run at 30FPS?

Getting to the point in these reviews where if a game isn't at least a 9/10 I can't consider it because of my backlog!

It sure bothers me! It was more acceptable in TotK because you could use your sword to fight unlimitedly. If you get in trouble in Echos, it becomes a chore.

I'm in! just jumped back into the game yesterday after only completing an hour or so last year. I'm ready!

I hope you guys know how important these types of reviews are. I was waiting to hear from you on the performance before I pulled the trigger, and now that we see its pretty bad, you've saved me from making a bad purchase. Seems like it holds up best on console which is where I'll pick it up. THANK YOU!

The only thing I don't like about this is that I have to wait until the end of september to play zelda

@Fizza Eternal Darkness was FANTASTIC!

As someone who never played this game and isn't into the rpg style, I've put about 30 hours into it and it is FANTASTIC for anyone on the fence. The writing is phenomenal, I wish they'd do a TTYD 2

In summation: get it if you've never played it but if you've played it, pass.
I've never played it so I'll probably pick it up

As someone who didn't own a 3ds or a Wii (or Wii U), I'm thrilled Nintendo is rereleasing all these games so I can play them on Switch. I've bought most of the rereleases over the life cycle of the Switch and I've been quite happy with them. I do, however, feel bad for others that have already experienced these games and have to wait for brand new ones.

I tried so hard to like the first game. put in around 10 hours, but I just couldn't get into it. Maybe the new one will be more my style.

More lost crown, please. that game is 10/10!

oof, was really looking forward to this one too.

Seems like a perfect voucher game to me.

@Lord care to expand a little? Genuinely curious.

@JasonLee99 I don't know. A game of ~8 hours (minus collectibles) for full price, even if it is Nintendo, is a hard sell for me.

@Clyde_Radcliffe amen. they did it so they can release an HD version in 3 years for switch 2

This game is fantastic. Really, really great idea executed exceptionally well. This is not, however, a GOTY. Sorry guys, it just aint.

"nails that feeling of just one more go" is a great "joy." Kinda excited to try this game I've never heard of! Love you guys, Nintendolife!

@GrailUK I gotta agree with this. the hardware is almost 8 years old. 30 FPS is expected on all switch games imo. If its 60, that's just a nice surprise.

Keeping this one on my list. Not a fan of the styling. It just doesn't look like it will control well...

Absolutely fantastic run. This game kept me occupied through long haul flights to Iceland, GB, etc. That was quite a few years ago, though, and I'm glad to see this journey come to an end. Dead Cells 2!

@Bobb EXCATLY what I came here to say. Look, this is nice and all, but I'd really like a second installment. This game was absolutely fantastic and deserves a sequel!

Plot twist: back hole was not a spelling error.

@ryu_san Thanks for this comment. I was super excited to get this, and then deflated to read this review. Looks like a great game, what a shame.

Alright NL, I'll trust you guys on this one. Downloaded the demo but haven't played it yet. Backlog is getting loooong. Haven't even played Blasphemous 2 yet!

Oh I'm so happy to see this! Day one buy for me! But, the backlog is getting real...

I'll get the eshop demo next week and choose then. Just got a Playstation Portal so this may be the perfect game to test it out on!

@Princess_Lilly Not entirely surprising. Should have seen it coming.

@-wc- I'm with you buddy! I can't think of anything worse to do in a video game

Yakuza is one of my all time favorite series'. The change to turn based RPG completely killed it for me. Bringing back combat and making an animal crossing style game is like the developers issuing me an apology and making exactly what I want

Aw man! how about some love for the US??

@CaleBoi25 HIGHLY recommend you check it out. Each episode is only around 9 minutes long. Writing is very clever. I may check this game out for myself!

@Bucky Yup! started watching with my boy and I think I enjoy it more than he does!

As someone who has played and owned almost every Nintendo console, Switch is FAR and away the best of the bunch. As gamers, we are very spoiled with it. These are the good old days for sure.

I'm surprised "very slight frame rate wobbles" and a "small camera glitch in one area" was enough to take a star away from the final score. Seems from reading this review, this is a no doubter 10/10.
That being said, I'm so excited for this game and this review solidifies my excitement. Not much as piqued my interest since Zelda, and not much else will until Wonder.

We don't want this. We want GTA 6

Weak line up for the rest of the year, imo. Wonder looks incredible, but if you're not a pokemon fan, you're out of luck.
