I don't think there are many other switch games that can rival prime 4 as it was shown.
Prime remastered and the Crysis 2 and 3 remastered? Luigis Mansion 3 maybe? Nothing else comes close. Prime 4 does look improved even over Prime remastered. The shader work and geometry in particular.
Prime 1 remastered in 2k via Mclassic is so good.
That was the first thing I thought too. Them describing Dig Foundry as "tech experts" must have raised some laughs at Digital Foundry.

Playing arcade games on Switch during lunch today reminds me of how much I absolutely dispise Joycons, so I ordered HORI Nintendo Switch Split Pad Compact - Midnight Blue this afternoon. Should be delivered tomorrow. A real D-pad!
I have the Hori d pad joycon. It works well.I use it for demanding 2d platformers and Streetfighter.
I hope switch 2 has an option for a dead, maybe with a magnetic disc you can pop out.
Wow the snowrunner community is awesome, as is Saber Interactive.
There are fanmade mods, even on consoles. Not only can you get modified vehicles and trailers, they've created new vehicles you can download.
I refuse to, as I don't want to make things too easy. But they've done cool stuff like shrink unused space on trucks. Or make trailers match the truck colours.
Then I just learned they've created whole new maps you can download and play.
Bought this beast with real money. It's the 2nd best truck in the game and the most useful over the other Zikh.
Also discovered the best truck in the game. Even with these beasts the game can still challenge you, lack of snow tires has you sliding down icy hills. Ice covered lakes crack underneath you. And the sheer size of some narrow pathways make it unfeasible for some vehicles.
I got my Hori Split Pad Compact controllers in the mail. I've been playing with it for about an hour now. Sooo much better than Nintendo's Joycons.
Unfortuantely, I didn't think about the case; these won't fit inside my current one.
I took my dog for a 2 hour hike early this morning, then played Pilotwings 64 all day like it's 1996. I spent the past couple hours flying the hang glider around the levels and ignoring the goals. Been a long time since I played it that way. Quite relaxing.
I did that all the time with the jetpack in the original game.
I really enjoyed Pilotwings on the SNES. Played quite a bit of it. I don’t think I ever got around to playing it on the N64 though.
Indeed! Pretty fun times.
I was on Nintendo's website and they finally have N64 Switch controllers in stock, so I bought one this morning $49.99. Nintendo told me my order was $0.01 away from receiving free shipping.
The lowest shipping cost was $7, so I bought this $19.99 t-shirt and got the free shipping. I like the shirt a lot, so good deal.
I had the basic service, way before the expansion pak tier.
Back then there were 3 games I was actively playing that made the service worth it, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing.
Since I played those to death, I cancelled the online service. Which meant I can't play Splatoon 3, it just sits there sadly.
With the introduction of games like Perfect Dark and Goldeneye on the expansion pack service, it irks me that we can't play these games on the basic package.
But also I would rather just pay to permanently own these games.
The expansion pack includes access to dlc like the MK8 expansion, Splatoon 3 expansion and Animal Crossing expansion too.
But I'd rather wait for a great price drop and get them to play whenever I want, not just when I have a Nintendo online sub.
I'm conflicted about the whole thing, I think I want to reactivate the service, but not if I have to pay for a higher tier to get real access to better stuff.
I just have Nintendo’s basic online service really just for the online functionality for some games. Occasionally play some of the NES and SNES stuff from time to time.
I let me subscription expire snd theres not enough older games to lure me back. My kids are playing a lot of Mario Kart lately but just with their cousins and themselves.
