I was so happy to see this announced, especially since its non MCU Marvel. I have uet to play any od these 2D beat em up revivals these past few years sadly, hopefully I can get my kid into them so I have a partner.
Sadly my Switch is hooked up to the AV Receiver that doesn't output 120 Hz. Better visuals seems worth it for a first play theough anyway, maybe 120Hz on a second Hard runthrough where the clarity would help anyway.
I trust John's taste so I'll put more weight in his review than a lot of the other outlets. It doesn't sound like this is on par with Prime 1 or even 2 but it still sounds like a great game.
It'd probably take years, even next generation possibly, but I'd love to see a homebrewed Switch 2/3 with a sidebooot option to run Steam games. Having a Switch and Steam Deck is overkill but having both in one would be stupidly valuable.
Sakurai's team always punches above its graphical weight with great art style and clever tricks; still waiting on that Kid Icarus Uprising sequel/remake. 1080p is pretty underwhelming for Switch 2 but the game looks good, but I'm looking forward to true Switch 2 games since all these so far seem like upgraded Switch 1 games.
I miss the unfinished wood look of the 90s in general. Even though TVs/monitors are sleeker now that they're flat screens I think the move to 16:9 or wider makes it hard to make space efficient, utilitarian desks, now they're all just giant flat tables with now verical space at all.

Re: DF Retro Super Show: The History of Killer Graphics
Nice, didn't realize Sam Machkovech moved to be a DF writer. Haven't seen him in Ars for a while. Good to see DF has a website now and not just YT.
