COGconnected Writes: Super Mario Odyssey's amiibo content can be unlocked through playing the game, you say? What a bold move on Nintendo's part.
Super Mario Odyssey gets a major technical update for Nintendo Switch 2, featuring upscaled 4K resolution, improved visuals, and stable 60 FPS performance.
nice improvement to the clarity. Really makes everything look less blurry, especially in the distance.
really hope we see more free improvements like this on Switch 1 games.
First game I played on Switch 2. Much sharper and cleaner image compared to the original.
A lot of games that have no official Switch 2 update already run WAY better just from the hardware itself. It's fantastic getting to play all these games in a much better state. So glad I hardly played any of my Switch collection over the years, lol. This will make experiencing them for the first time so much better.
A nice resolution upgrade to one of my fav games but i’m still not buying the Switch “2”
This and Mario/Bowser are ones I will pop in later. I hope other devs offer some patches, like xenon racer on SW1 is 30fps and it really is better at 60.
Great it was 60 frames on switch 1 though. Definitely sacrificed resolution however.
I’ll never know why fans let Nintendo get away with not competing graphically and never putting their games on sale.
I’m a fan of their exclusives as well but if the hardware had the same capabilities as the x and ps5 and I could have all the third party stuff plus the Nintendo exclusives it would be my main console
@GhostScholar - if the Switch 2 had the same capabilities as the X and PS5 it would cost over $1000 and the battery would last for 5 minutes.
Retailer listings indicate that there'll be a price increase for various Nintendo amiibo that have been announced for 2025.
$40 is absolutely ridiculous. $15 made sense, but you can literally get full on games for $40… what in the hell is going on?
$40? wtf that is insane. I got a few sometime ago and those things should be more like $15 tops for the quality of them. Nintendo going to Nintendo though, people will still pay $40 and scalpers will charge double that and idiots will still pay.
NE: "Today, we're looking at the most and least useful amiibo characters when it comes to Nintendo Switch games."
That's the way it should be
Good stuff, though it doesn't change the fact that I'll be jealous of those that can afford to get that triple Wedding costume pack of Amiibo; those things are going to be insanely hard to find...
So they should be...don't see why you'd praise them for not ripping people off like they've done in the past. Good move but still, it should be expected. Don't make Amiibo locked content...they are just shitty pieces of plastic, I'd rather save up for a highly detailed, high quality full on statue. Like this for example

As long as its not required to beat / play the game I don't see a problem
