For my money, Odyssey is the best Mario game not named Super Mario 64. And it runs/looks really nice with its Switch 2 upgrades.

Enjoy.


Feels like console gaming is like this across the board right now... games are playable on current gen, but you will have to wait for next gen hardware to get a fully optimized version.

I skipped the PS4 and I'm playing catch up on those games with a PS5. Games like God of War... 1080p / 30 fps on PS4... Upscaled 4K / 60 fps on PS5.

I'm having a great time, but I'm playing games that are 5+ years old.

I'm doing the same on my PS5. Been catching up on all the Resident Evils and Last of Us 1-2.

My kid is getting a switch 2 next week for his birthday and I talked him in to thinking we have to have DK. The reviews are really good.

I called and my closest wal mart had them ready to stock back up but my wife waited out with the nerds before Best Buy opened last Thursday and snagged one the day before wal mart put them out.

Yes. The wife and I are both enjoying it. Tons of fun.

Haven't yet but with the stellar reviews I don't think I can pass on it.

I also generally enjoy platformers so this seems right up my alley.

Dammit, Nintendo. I just spent $90 on a new controller just so I can remain sitting on my ass and still be able to wake up the console from sleep.

They have every right to make more money but they're still c-suckers.

We are gifting my son his switch 2 on Friday and we got him DKB so I'll be starting it with him then.

My Switch 2 has been docked ever since I got it. Last night, decided to play it in handheld mode and my hands were hurting after a few minutes.

Just purchased some grips for it so that should help.

Donkey Kong is a blast and I've been avoiding spoilers but apparently the back part of the game is really good

If you haven't played Breath of the Wild, that should be the very first thing you play. It will either be a game you hate (very few people) or it will be one of the greatest games you've ever played (the vast majority of players).

I'm currently still working through Tears of the Kingdom. It is infinitely better on the Switch2. The 4K at 60fps is the only way to play this game. I get why some think TotK is the superior game, but all the small details that make BotW a perfect game to me are missing in TotK.

With BotW, I loved logging in and not really having a specific goal. I just pick a direction and start walking. The fun is the adventures I have along the way, discovering things as I go. With TotK, they literally stuffed 3x the content into the same sized game, adding the sky and depths. Now, when I log in, I look around and see 20 points of interest I need to mark and go explore. I will never get to them all in one sitting.

It still doesn't fall into the trap of Ubisoft open world games, but it does not have the exact same charm as BotW. Still a peak game worth playing, but BotW is just perfect, imo.

I've only been playing Mario Kart World since I got my Switch 2 but unless something else strikes me my next game will be upgrading BotW to Switch 2. I got close to finishing TotK but I stopped because had spent so much time I got burned out. You're right, it's basically triple the size of BotW. I didn't like the sky stuff as much but I loved the depths. I also got derailed with building things, which is a lot of fun. BotW is just right in terms of size and scope. I also wouldn't recommend going into TotK without playing BotW first, I wouldn't want to miss out on that initial BotW experience.

Metroid Prime 4 release date 12/4/25!

Yeah that sucked.

MP4 release date, but that trailer was weird. A motorcycle is kinda odd. Maybe a real trailer still to come?

Hugely disappointed MP 2-3 aren't coming to Switch.

No MKW DLC, and still so many huge games not on NSO. (DK64, Diddy Kong Racing, Starfox Adventures, etc)

Hades 2 looks fantastic, but it will have to wait until I'm done with Silksong! The Virtual Boy accessory came out of nowhere, but I'm interested. The Prime 4 segment was…not what I was expecting. I thought initially that it must be some spinoff racing game to tide people over to the full release. And the graphics for those segments looked rough. Maybe it was just the stream. I am worried about how this one will turn out.

Concerned as well.

MP4 looked like ***** I'm hoping it looks different when released.

Overall... a big "meh", from me.

Hades 2 runs real well and has cross-play for PC
