Online knockout mode is where it's at. I've hardly touched any of the other modes.

Mario kart World free Roam feels like it's missing something. It's cool to drive around and see the the tracks from a different perspective, but it gets boring pretty fast (and I'm someone who enjoyed spenting dozens of hours just randomly wandering the world in Zelda BOTW).

I ran through all the 50cc knockout tour tracks. As usual for 50cc, it's way too easy, but I do like the concept a lot. Looking forward to playing it on harder difficulties.

You dont like the P switch missions?

I think it needs a story mode.

This thread on HDR in games is a good read.

P missions are okay. MKW version of Korok seeds challenges.

EDIT: Yeah, Nintendo should do a Story Adventure mode like Crash Team Racing. That could be fun.

Finally, the Mario Kart World update we have all been waiting for!  When you pause the game in free roam, the name of the music title appears and the game it is from!

Latest Nash Weedle rumours:

Rumors from late 2025

GTA VI for Switch 2: A port of Grand Theft Auto VI for the Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to be in development by Rockstar.

Baldur's Gate 3 shelved: A port of Baldur's Gate 3 for the Switch has been unofficially shelved, according to Nash Weedle.

Monolith Soft project: A new, unannounced game from Monolith Soft, codenamed "Project Legacy," is reportedly in development and could be announced soon.

Doom the Dark Ages: The game is expected to be released on the Switch 2.

Rumors from mid-2025

Metroid Prime 5: Metroid Prime 5 is reportedly in concurrent development with Metroid Prime 4 and scheduled for a 2027 release.

------------

So he's now saying multiple sources have confirmed GTA 6 for switch 2.

Metroid Prime V is a switch 2 exclusive and has been in development alongside MP4.

He says now that Retros pitch for Prime 4 was so ambitious that Nintendo decided to split it between 2 games. It may release 2027 at the earliest

And Oblivion remake is coming to switch 2

OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 REVIEWS

Noisypixel (100/100)​

Regardless of its genre transformation, Octopath Traveler 0 is hands-down one of the best RPGs ever made. Its storytelling, characterizations, soundtrack, and densely interconnected gameplay loop are masterclass, even if it takes more than a little while for everything to click. Honestly, Square's HD-2D output has been exceptional, and I'm eager to see where these efforts continue to grow.

CGMagazine (8/10)​

Octopath Traveller 0 masterfully transforms the once mobile game into a fully fleshed JRPG romp that feels as feature-rich and engaging as the prior console and PC releases.

Destructoid (85/100)​

We travel back to the continent of Orsterra in Octopath Traveler 0, but the franchise doesn't just return to its old ways and slap a new number on it. 0 is full of new features, companions, and collectibles to find, making for a gameplay experience that truly pushes the series in a new and exciting direction—and it's all done against a gorgeous backdrop that will have you hooked for hours to come.

Gamespot (8/10)​

This is how it feels to play Octopath Traveler 0: a seemingly endless pattern of ever-deeper combat challenges and strategic wrinkles, slowly revealing themselves to you over and over through dozens of hours. I've seen credits, in a sense, but there's still so much more to do and explore. It feels like a game that could go on forever. I just might let it.

He is not as annoying as I thought he would be. That first boss in Fury Green was freaking good.

I saw on DF it's a locked 1080p/120. 120fps on a Nintendo game is nuts. Never thought I'd see the day.

I'd likely prefer 4K/60, though.

The EG review mentions that graphics get a boost at 60fps, so that's how I'll be playing as well, whenever I get around to buying MP4.  120fps is nice, but I don't think it's neccessairy for a Metroid Prime game.

I find the rumour that the game was split into MP4 and MP5 because Retro was too ambitious to be hard to believe.  Would Nintendo really risk developing both games simultaneously in a franchise that was never a top seller and has been dormant for nearly 2 decades?  If so I highly anticipate F-zero GY and GZ, to release in 2027 and 2029.

Have you tried mouse mode or HDR on vs off?

You can play 120fps portably.

They've kept making Metroid games though and have left Fzero to die since GX.

If Nash Weedle is to be believed (he has got quite a few things right lately)

I think its more likely that the pitch from Retro was too ambitious and Nintendo told them to scale it back. And then to work excess stuff into a future game.

So maybe Prime 4 was in active production while a smaller team was simultaneosly doing pre-production on Prime 5, story, art, engine testing?

Nintendo has been taking gameplay elements from F-zero and Wave Race adding them to Mario Kart for years now. I'd like to see new games for both series, but I doubt it will happen. Prove me wrong, Nintendo!

Gg, i had no time to check out any of that stuff because it was early in the morning before work. Now I'm tired and a little cranky. Nyaa It will be another eight hours before I can get to the game again though,

Regarding the Prime 5 rumors, we have heard this before, at least a year ago. It was rumored to be a much more vertical game.

This Nash Weedle fellow is Spanish and seems to have an informant in the Metroid Dread side of things, Spanish studio I believe. He's hit and miss in the past but more right recently.
