Coinciding with this week’s Nintendo Switch 2 firmware update, a bunch of new Switch 1 games have been fixed on the new console in terms of backwards compatibility.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a great fit for the Nintendo Switch 2, although it's not quite the same experience as the original release.
Did Sony ever fix some of the games with backwards combability?
Good to see Xenoblade Definitive Edition got patched, hopefully we see the rest of the series get an upgrade too.
