          Nintendo are the biggest play it safe developers on the planet, nothing wrong with that as some people order the same meal from the same restaurant.

            @FabMan: they pretty much havent' done a totally new game since the Wii eg wii sports etc.

              @kungfuman: Splatoon would like a word.

              • FabMan on 06/06/2025 - 11:26

                @TheDukeOfNukem: I liked Splatoon on my Wii U, but that first game was 2015. They don't take many risks, I think Arms (2017), Labo (2018), and Game Builder Garage (2021) are the riskiest things they've done in a while.

                I think Nintendo as a gaming company has become an old man, they crave familiarity and reject risk. Maybe the Wii U scared them into boring? Switch 2 has to be their least riskiest console.

                  @FabMan: Think this Generation it's actually Nintendo that made the riskier play with mostly singleplayer actual traditional console exclusivity model. Than following the industry wide live service Fortnite/GTA Online trend and abandoning exclusivity entirely. Given investors all over have been breathing down every single company's throat who doesn't do it. Nintendo gambled on throwing away their Handheld and Home console combination they've used for decades. Prioritising portability and playstyles over power. Again differentiating themselves from power seeking playstation and Xbox.

                  Comparing that to Xbox, EA, Ubisoft and Playstation all doing the exact same thing. Chasing the same dragon. In fact they were so bold that it shifted the entire industry to reevalute portable consoles entirely and led to us getting a Steam Deck, PS Portal and a slew of other things. Gotta give Nintendo a little credit.

                    @Valowick: "Nintendo gambled on throwing away their Handheld and Home console combination they've used for decades."

                    That gamble happened in 2017 and it paid off massively. In 2025, they’ve just released the Switch 2, their first console with a number behind it. That’s not a risk, that’s brand consolidation.

                    Meanwhile, the “industry-wide live service trend” hasn’t exactly been a party. Sony and Microsoft have experimented with it and had failures. They’ve also:
                    - Published new IPs (South of Midnight, Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Redfall, Returnal, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding)
                    - Created new platforms and delivery models (Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming, PS Portal)
                    - Supported indie devs in ways Nintendo rarely does
                    - Microsoft launched two console variations at once, Sony has worked on VR.

                    Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch includes titles like Mario Kart 9, Fortnite, Street Fighter 6, and Cyberpunk 2077. That’s not risky, it’s a victory lap.

                    And credit where it’s due: the hybrid design of the Switch is elegant but let’s not pretend it wasn’t inspired by Nvidia’s Shield Portable (2013) and Shield Tablet/TV line. Nintendo executed it better, but the tech concept was already on the table.

                    I love Nintendo’s polish and design philosophy, but claiming they’re the boldest company in the industry right now? That’s just nostalgia talking.

              Way to self-report about how you haven't really paid any attention to Nintendo as a platform at all since 2006.

          I think apart from core games such as Mario/DK, you're not going to see much exclusivity moving forward, Sony games are opening up to other platforms, same for Xbox games.

          I don't hate this path - people should be free to choose their preferred platform and not necessarily be hindered by it. I think Xbox days are probably close to done frankly, they're better off investing in the PC Space/Gamepass etc - Steamdeck and other handhelds have given options to those who wanted the Switch style gameplay but for their steam libraries..

          I think choice is great, frankly. I also say this as someone who has a mid-range PC, just collected my Switch 2, and has a PS5 Pro/PS Portal.

          I think a great example of new games that isn't regurgitated is Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and say Split Fiction for example, (I've played the latter, pending the former, but brother has instantly put it in his top 5 games of all time) - but they're not platform exclusive. I absolutely agree remakes/remasters though need to really be cut back on… But unfortunately they made good money! Don't need the new IP, just make it prettier/remarket it to a new demographic and it's easy money.

        They misspelled bonanza, morons.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 05/06/2025 - 14:53

    I played the original original original version of this in the day and enjoyed it thoroughly, much to my surprise. I thought it would make an excellent Vita game back then.

    Now it's on Switch but it's so complicated and there's so much new shit since I last played it (a good 8 or 9 years ago) that it's intimidating and I don't want it lol

    Jumped back in at some point briefly with the PS5 patch and popped the platinum again, it I didn't recognize a goddamn thing.

    Makes this the second cheapest Switch 2 game at launch though, right?

    Sean! Release those deaf kids!

  • Shaolinking on 05/06/2025 - 16:23

    Any cons for getting S1 games and do the upgrade? or buy the S2 games outright instead?

    • pj1351 on 05/06/2025 - 17:01

      If you've got family/friends that you share games with (via registering your accounts on each other's devices), getting the S1 version then upgrade gives you a bit more flexibility in sharing games with those who only have a S1.

      If that's not applicable, just skip directly to the S2 version. There's no point in playing the S1 version, which is behind in contents and omits features.

  • Twisty on 05/06/2025 - 17:39

    Does anyone know how it runs?

    Always wanted to play NMS and was gonna get it for my PS5 but seeing this deal for the S2, would it be a good purchase or should I stick with it in PS5. Am I missi by out on anything with the S2 version?

    • stockpot on 06/06/2025 - 10:31

      It will run and look a lot better on PS5 but this is a good deal if you're unsure and don't want to spend the extra cash

  • stockpot on 06/06/2025 - 10:30

    Also going for $39 physical at JB rn

    • Twisty on 06/06/2025 - 11:12

      So you just stick in the switch cart in your S2 and download the S2 version?

      • stockpot on 06/06/2025 - 13:20

        I think that's how it works but not 100% sure tbh

        • Twisty on 06/06/2025 - 17:09

          Do you think it’s better to pay the extra $7-8 for the physical release even tho I’m guessing it will still be a big download

          • stockpot on 06/06/2025 - 19:07

            @Twisty: Ideally physical is best when you get the whole game on the cart with no extra downloads required. So I would say go digital here unless storage space is an issue for you. There is nothing extra in the physical version either.

          • pj1351 on 06/06/2025 - 19:15

            @Twisty: The game gets so many major content updates that I suspect huge portions of the data on the Switch cart isn't even in use. Even less if you're playing the S2 version.

            Which is probably just as well, since one of the selling points for the S2 is faster loading times, and that will be somewhat hampered by the limitations of the original Switch carts' read speed.
