The Yakuza 3 Switch 2 demo is excellent. When I saw the trailer I assumed it was ps5 footage and assumed it wouldn't look like that on switch 2.

It looks fantastic quality and runs buttery smooth on the tv. EDIT: Not brilliant handheld, frame rate slightly sluggish and obviously lower resolution.

Also paid the £5 for the Animal Crossing Switch 2 update.

They also included a new hotel to decorate and I finally tried the Happy Home paradise paid dlc which is fun.

The game looks much better in handheld mode. On the tv you dont really notice the difference unless you zoom the camera in. The framerate now seems locked too, used to bog down on OG switch.

Mouse mode works very well. I just wish I could expand the size of my island and make more mansions and rooms.

Edit: that seems to be what the dlc is for. But I don't want to design micro rooms for people. I want to develop my own properties.

I beat Wolfenstein 2.

It wasn't that bad in the end. With a few small tweaks it could have smoothed out the problems I have with the game.

Irritating stuff like having to press a button to pick up health and ammo. Or trying to reload and having you pick up an empty weapon.

If there had been a proper single shot sniper rifle, some more stealth options. And just change the bone headed AI. And make your path through a level more clear as the objective marker is often garbage.

Well this weekend I did not shoot Hitler. I did, however, grow sweet potatoes and engaged in other farming activity in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. They actually played a shit ton of it this weekend. My wife is under the weather and since I didn't have much else to do I think I've already put in like 12 hours

I didn’t shoot Hitler either but I did play LEGO Horizon Adventures and got the platinum trophy for it this weekend. Also played some Onimusha Warlords. Just bought Monster Hunter Stories Deluxe Collection and started some of the first game.

Am looking forward to Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Monster Hunter Stories 3.

I started The Stanley Parable and another playthrough of Batman: Arkham Knight. I actually did kill Hitler last year.

Didn't realise offing Hitler was an option.

I've gotten back into Yakuza Kiwami because of the Kiwami 3 demo.

Wasn't Kiwami 1 originally a ps2 game? It feels really like, don't know how to explain it. It's a bit janky like its an old Dreamcast game, in a good way.

I found it really odd in this brawler to be sneaking into a funeral and searching through bins. Or getting caught in an obvious honey trap for fun.

It almost feels like a wii game, random stuff everywhere and somehow its still at the very least, compelling.

What I don't like is the UI, subtitles, option screens it all looks ancient and ugly. Could also use full voice acting.

Like the soap opera OTT nature of the cutscenes, that's probably its strongest element.

Yakuza 1 was a PS2 game. However Kiwami 1 is a remake that was built for the PS4. I don't remember it feeling janky, but I also played it after Yakuza 0. And while that was a PS4 game, it was basically a pumped up version of a PS3 game since a PS3 and PS4 version got simultaneous releases (at least in Japan).

Maybe janky is the wrong word.

Disparate? Oddly unexpected? Left field? Consistently inconsistent?

Shenmue like. A big mix of little bits here and there that somehow meshes into a whole.

Watch Dogs Franchise is probably not dead

01/26/26 - Ubisoft's Watch Dogs brand is probably not dead. That's what insider shinobi602 on Resetera thinks. It refers explicitly to the game and not to a movie.

He is reacting to a statement by Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming: He had claimed that the Watch Dogs franchise was at an end. Ubisoft has not commented on the report and has not commented on the status of Watch Dogs.

Digital Extremes confirms native Warframe version

01/25/26 - Digital Extremes has officially confirmed that a native version of Warframe (PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC) is in development for the Switch 2.

The developers want to deliver a significantly improved gaming experience on the new Nintendo hardware than with the previous backwards-compatible version: Smoother display, more precise controls and an overall higher technical quality are mentioned. The studio plans to provide further details at a later date. Release: TBA (Europe)

CODE VERONICA REMAKE:

Development of the remake began in 2022 and is well ahead of schedule, unlike RE0 Remake.

-The game will be announced this year for a release scheduled for 2027.

-Kazunori Kadoi and Yasuhiro Anpo, the directors of RE2 and RE4 Remake, will once again be at the helm.

-The game will be a direct sequel to RE2 Remake from Claire's point of view, with very similar gameplay.

-Rockfort Island will now be semi-open, and Claire will be able to ride a motorcycle from the start of the game.

-The zombies will still be present, but will be even more visually horrifying than the ones in RE2 Remake. Players will be able to spot pieces of their tattered bodies from the bombing of the island or an impressive amount of maggots on the zombies in the graveyard.

-The artistic inspiration of the World War II camps and the torture inflicted on prisoners of war will be retained for this 2027 version of the game.

-The dubbing will be completely redone, with a more professional and realistic tone.

-Wesker will be back and his organization will be more prominent.

-Capcom's new policy (which is debated...), implies that the scenes of matting and insinuations around Claire's physique by Steve will be toned down or even removed.

-All monsters and bosses will be present, unlike RE3 Remake.

-Chris Redfield will be present and playable, but Claire will remain the main character with more playing time.

-Although Chris faces Wesker again, this fight will take place as a boss, and the game will end under Claire's control against Alexia, unlike the original version.

-Even if some variations and changes of scenes in the remake of RE2 were not unanimous, Code Veronica will follow the same path, with many changes during the adventure.

-The Nazi links of the Ashford family, abandoned in the original version, will be further developed here.

Okay, I got it. And you're right about that. The original Yakuza games have a very different tone than the modern ones. A lot more humor and weirdness have been added gradually through time. So when they went to do the remake for one, they needed to find a way to incorporate some of that, so it wouldn't feel quite so dry. The Majima Everywhere missions for instance. Anyway some of it worked, some of it didn't. But that definitely helped the game feel a little uneven at times.

I wouldnt mind an adventure game set in this universe, I really like the Virtual tourism aspect of the games settings.

I think you would especially like the spin-off series, Judgement and it's sequel. You play as a detective for a defense attorney, and it's basically Yakuza + Phoenix Wright. The town becomes More detailed and filled with even more things to do.

Well, I'm quite happy to report that the Switch 1 port of Civilization 6 runs and loads significantly better and faster on Switch 2 without an official performance patch.
