Awesome to see they’re making a Spaceballs 2. Loved the first one.
Yeah, can’t believe 98 year old Mel Brooks agreed to put on the makeup to play Yogurt again. And Rick Moranis returns!
The open world free roaming mixed with knockout tour add enough variety to the point I couldn't really stop playing.
You do a P Switch challenge, turn a corner and another pops up, then another and another. So it's hard to put down.
And then when I'm getting bored it throws some inventive or visually appealing moment that makes you feel all warm inside.
And the music... godamn hits you right in the nostalgia laden heart. When you hear an old favourite tune re-orchestrated the memories flood back.
Also been playing Cyberpunk, finally got my car. Really somewhat surreal and ludicrous feeling playing this on a 1cm thick device.
It looks and runs so much better than I expected, really eye popping at times, especially when you look around the city and realise you can explore most of these places.
Also tried the Links Awakening and Splatoon 3 update, very nice, Nintendo has patched most updates at what looks like 4k.
It's probably less and then being upscaled but looks great regardless.
Tried Xenoblade 2 in the heaviest area and the resolution and frame rate was solid. Game really needs to have a higher resolution cap though.
What in the actual hell?If I've been playing MKW in 1080p I would have never known. I should check.
I also had a great MKW session. I have unlocked all of the characters except for one that you randomly get. I believe I need about three more vehicles to consider that complete.
Do the side characters not have alternate outfits?I tried playing as a few and no new outfits seem to unlock.
Cyberpunk doesn't let you save when you want, kinda annoying.
No side characters have alternate outfits.
"Most ports rely on email threads and fortnightly check-ins. CD Projekt Red tried something different: they embedded two engineers at Nintendo’s Kyoto campus and hosted a Nintendo GPU architect in Warsaw for six months."
Been wasting time in free roaming using a cow and wiggler, godamnit.What's worse is that my stalwart choice in MK8 has now been relegated to a side character with no outfits. Poor dry bones.
“Switch 2 screen is nearly indestructible claims YouTuber. After smacking it 50 times with pliers.”
Did he try a stapler?
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is now 60fps and the resolution remains quite high. You have to uncap the framerate in the options.
Road 96 Mile 0 is now close to a locked framerate, with the occasional frame drop here and there, it used to be very bad.
EDIT: Mudrunner is 60fps so awesome.
They even had this watering hole geyser packed with animals you have to skirt around.
My son wanted to try Gameshare and apparently there are some Switch1 games that support it. Played a few minutes of Mario Odyssey like this and while it's not a fun game to play in coop, it's impressive to behold. There's a small banner on top of the image to show you're running Gameschare, but that's it.
I saw a fast fusion gameshare and it was a slideshow.Very cool, the grenades were on the R button and I kept unleashing grenades by mistake. Also found it hard to click in the left stick while pressing it forward.
Easily swapped both but now the problem I have is that when I want to us L and R to switch menu tabs I have to click the left stick in for R.

Top 10 Switch 2 selling games for week 1^
Everyone's avoiding game key cards?
Well Bravely Default and Street Fighter 6 are Game Key Cards. People could be just buying them straight up digitally though so hard to say. Mario Kart World is a pack in so that’s expected to be on top. Most of the other stuff is pretty cheap like the Zelda upgrade packs and Welcome Tour.
This weekend I spent some time in the World of Mario Kart. I also spent many, many hours in Hyrule. Probably about eight hours just today playing Tears of the Kingdom. I just finished the Water Temple.
This weekend I went back to playing both Super Mario RPG Remake and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Finished them both. Excellent games.
