  • Last weekend we wanted to check out Mortal Kombat 1 again and have some fights, but it needed a massive 1 hour+ update. So we ended up playing MK 11 instead. We did play MK 1 later, and though there seem to be some improvements, this game still sucks on the Switch! I’m almost hoping for a version for whatever the next Nintendo console is, hopefully it’ll be more optimized and it’s more powerful hardware. I tried playing the story campaign and even the video freezes every now and then. Right now I wouldn’t suggest anyone to get Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch…

    I’m playing Trip World DX since I got the physical version from Limited Run this week. I’ll probably finish it this weekend, it’s a fairly short game.

    I’ve also been playing Donkey Kong Country again, once I finish it I’ll continue with the two other SNES ones. I started playing Donkey Kong Land on the Game Boy before that. But although it’s an amazing port, I don’t think I can stand it to the end 😅










  • We talked a bit about this in a previous thread. The Switch has a massive user base, and the game is 20 years old, so there’ll be A LOT of people who haven’t played the original. It’ll also appeal to nostalgia for some of the people who played it when it came out. While Nintendo might be saving bigger titles for their next console, they still need to release stuff so people keep buying the Switch in the meantime. And my guess is remakes are cheaper and faster to publish than entirely new games.

    Also regarding new content, from the article in the linked thread:

    Thankfully, while most of its early levels are virtually identical to the original, the game’s fourth world is entirely new to the Switch version – the first of two new worlds in the remake – and it does introduce some original mechanics.
