  • Nintendo Reveals File Sizes for Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and More
    gamingbolt.com
    NewsNintendo Reveals File Sizes for Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and MoreFiles sizes have also been revealed for the upcoming native versions of Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree.Posted By Shubhankar Parijat | On 05th, Apr. 2025 With the Switch 2 touting a significant technical leap over its predecessor, games are naturally going to be more visually impressive, technically demanding, and, by extension, larger in size- though nottoomuch larger, it turns out. Nintendo has started revealing file sizes for Nintendo Switch 2 titles via their Japanese eShop pages, and though they are obviously a jump from the Switch 1, by modern standards, they remain refreshingly manageable (based on early indications, at least). Mario Kart Worldis listed as having a 23.4 GB file size, in contrast to 11.3 GB forMario Kart 8 Deluxeon the Nintendo Switch.Donkey Kong Bananza,meanwhile, will have a 10 GB file size. In comparison, the dev teams last major 3D platformer,Super Mario Odyssey,has a 5.6 GB file size. Nintendo has also revealed sizes for upcoming native Switch 2 enhanced releases for a couple of Switch 1 titles, withKirby and the Forgotten Landweighing 5.7 GB, which is curiously about the same as its Switch file size, and Super Mario Party Jamboreecoming in at 7.7 GB (compared to 5.3 GB on Switch). The Nintendo Classics GameCube app, which will allow Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers to play GameCube titles exclusively on the Switch 2, will weigh 3.5 GB. Nintendo Switch 2 launches withMario Kart Worldas a launch title on June 5, featuring 256 GB of internal storage. Donkey Kong Bananzareleases on July 17.

Aaronrules380AvengerOct 25, 201724,006I think most Nintendo published stuff will come, most everything else won't. Occasionally Nintendo will strike deals like with soul calibur, but it'll be the exception, not the rule. And it will come largely from companies uninterested in doing their own ports and collectionsragolliangatanLegendary Uncle Works at NintendoMemberAug 31, 20195,665I want Skies of Arcadia Legends and Billy Hatcher on it - i'm sure Sega would be happy not having to do any of the leg workDalUncle Works at NintendoMemberAug 18, 20242,034I don't see Pikmin 1 and 2 making it to NSO, especially not with the games already being on Switch 1 natively, I think it'll harm their sales more than anything.mopinksMemberOct 27, 201732,310Chibi-Robo is already confirmed. what more could you ask forWil GrieveMemberOct 25, 20178,684When you lay it all out like that, I realize how similar it looks to my emulator rom list for GamecubeThis is gonna be something specialDNAbroMemberOct 25, 201729,449It gives me joy that there is a good chance Nintendo releases Custom Robo on here and a bunch of people realize Nintendo has just been sitting on one of their best franchises.ZorMemberOct 30, 201713,709Twin Snakes and Eternal Darkness and I'm gravy.STGHMAAVMemberOct 26, 2017336I'm kinda curious since they added Wind Waker if they'll add Twilight Princess on the Gamecube app or they're going to wait to add it with the Wii ClassicsPyroPaperPlanesMemberNov 1, 20173,143You're missing Star Fox Assault (developed by Namco, published by Nintendo).Battalion Wars is unlikely due to subject matter (war).Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest was published by Atlus in North America, which might be problematic?Donkey Kong Jungle Beat might be saved for Wii Classics (there's a Wii version of this game), should that system be released. Twilight Princess and the other "New Control" series might also be saved for similiar reasons.Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is unlikely due to its Sanity System breaking modern console ToS + has a problematic background that I won't go into here.Pikmin 1 + 2 already have remasters available (+there's an existing Wii version).Kururin Squash and Nintendo Puzzle Collection are notable Nintendo JP exclusives.Pac-Man Vs. also has a remaster available.SSX 3 might make it despite containing licensed music, as it is available for sale on other platforms.Super Monkey Ball 1+2 has a remake and also has Dole licensing.Worms 3D might need to omit the PAL version due to exclusive licensed music (Shake Your Coconuts by Junior Senior is used for Title/Menu, while other regions used a rendition of the classic Worms theme).Last edited: Thursday at 7:10 PM spicynunMemberJul 19, 2020724I feel like Gotcha Force has a higher chance than a lot of the things that are in the low on that list.

Nintendo wants to offer one Smash experience on their consoles at a time, it seems, and they want it to be the one that sells 30+ million copies. Smash 64 was on the Wii VC, then absent from Wii U and still isn't on NSO. That doesn't bode well for Melee.GrugMemberOct 26, 20175,256Doshin the Giant RhaknarMemberOct 26, 201750,604Pikmin 1 and 2 have that Switch port tho, why do you think they are very likely OP?

It's just a matter of time before we get collections of Super Bomberman, 3D Bomberman, handheld Bomberman, and so on. Generations and Jetters will be on Switch 2, just not as part of the Gamecube app.MandosMemberNov 27, 201738,017Yeah would be a great way to revisit custom Robo. Cubivore. Rogue squadron 2/3. Tons of othersBoondockRileyMemberNov 15, 2017907You've confused Pokemon Channel with Hey You Pikachu on the N64.

I could think that someone that doesn't have a proper view of the industry and thinks that Nintendo only does Mario and Zelda may think that... but here?I mean, we just got +18 Nintendo 64 on the Switch as well, so... we can get that as well on the Game Cube for the Switch (: OtakuCoderOne Winged SlayerMemberOct 27, 20175,186UKBoondockRiley said:You've confused Pokemon Channel with Hey You Pikachu on the N64.

A tier below these wireless headphones are the Beats Solo 4, which are currently available for $129.95 on the online retailer in every color.However, do not let their low price fool you, and just because a pair of wireless headphones are 35 percent off at a listing does not make them inferior. After all, the proof of their popularity is in the numbers, with Amazon claiming that more than 10,000 buyers have purchased these headphones, and with a 4.6-star rating out of 5, you can rest assured that you will be daily driving a quality product. Sure, you miss out on Active Noise Cancellation, but that is the only feature you will not get from the package.Fortunately, the rest of the experience will be pristine, with your audio sessions made enjoyable thanks to the presence of comfortable and foamy earcups designed to deliver a comfortable fit. Furthermore, the battery life is insane on the Beats Solo 4, with each charge providing up to 50-hour runtime and a 10-minute Fast Fuel top-up offering a 5-hour playback boost.

  • Best Kilo 141 loadout, class build in Black Ops 6
    www.polygon.com
    The Kilo 141 in Black Ops 6 looks a little different than its series debut, because the latest iteration of Call of Duty multiplayer has a much more streamlined attachment system, but the gist of the weapon is still the same: Manage the recoil and it becomes a powerhouse.Much like weapons such as the XM4 and Krig C, the Kilo 141 is another jack-of-all-trades assault rifle. This means it doesnt particularly excel in any one area, but instead is capable of handling enemies up close, at medium range, and all the way across the map with the right attachments. The best Kilo 141 build eschews close quarters combat, though, as there are plenty of SMGs and other fully automatic guns in our list of the best Black Ops 6 guns to cover the former.Heres the best Kilo 141 loadout in Black Ops 6, the best class to use with it, and how to unlock it.How to unlock the Kilo 141 in Black Ops 6To unlock the Kilo 141 in Black Ops 6, all you need to do is install and boot up Warzone. The gun has arrived alongside the return of Verdansk, the first ever Warzone map, so its a free reward to all who play the battle royale mode once. When youve done that, the Kilo 141 will be available for use in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone (though this loadout suggestion is focused on Black Ops 6 multiplayer!).Best Kilo 141 loadout in Black Ops 6Heres the best Kilo 141 loadout in Black Ops 6:Optic: Pinpoint HoloscoutMuzzle: CompensatorBarrel: Long BarrelUnderbarrel: Vertical ForegripMagazine: Extended Mag IRear Grip: Commando GripStock: Combat StockFire Mods: Rapid FireFirstly, use the Gunfighter Wildcard with this build to allow for eight attachments instead of just five. Thats because while the Kilo 141 is a strong weapon with just five, with an additional three it allows you to use Rapid Fire while negating the adverse recoil effects.Most of these attachments are focused on just that: allowing Rapid Fire to flourish while still maintaining its accuracy. As always, the optical sight you use is largely personal preference, but the Pinpoint Holoscout offers a decent mix of zoom while still having a low enough magnification to not be a hindrance at close range.The Compensator muzzle and Vertical Foregrip both go a long way to improving the recoil control, while the Long Barrel increases the damage range considerably. You could opt for the Reinforced Barrel instead, but the bullet velocity buff is negligible in Black Ops 6 multiplayer because youre not usually fighting at long enough distances for it to have an impact.Any of the Extended Magazine attachments can do a job here, but weve opted for the first one because it doesnt have any downsides attached. If you dont feel like 50 bullets per magazine is enough, go for the second or third tiers.The Commando Grip is useful for your aim down sight and sprint to fire speeds, because even though this build lends itself to a slower pace of play, you never know when you might be caught unaware. Finally, the Combat Stocks flinch resistance buff is incredibly underrated for helping you stay on target when youre in a head-on gunfight.Best Kilo 141 class in Black Ops 6Heres the best class to use with the Kilo 141 in Black Ops 6:Pistol: GrekhovaMelee: KatanasTactical: FlashbangLethal: Frag GrenadeField Upgrade: Trophy SystemPerk 1: Flak JacketPerk 2: Fast HandsPerk 3: GearheadSpecialty: StrategistWildcard: GunfighterTheres nothing too unorthodox in this class, since its a fairly standard playstyle, so start with the Grekhova as the best pistol choice: Its fully automatic and lends itself well to being switched to at short notice to deal with enemies up close. Your other option is the Katanas melee weapon, because they simultaneously deal the most damage and have a fast attack speed compared to all the melee options available right now.The Flashbang and Frag Grenade combo is an old classic that still reigns supreme as the best choice here, while going for the Trophy System allows you to both defend objectives if you go for them or protect yourself if youre posted up as an anchor in a specific spot.Opt for the green perks here, which means the Strategist specialty is in effect, giving you a score bonus for completing objectives and destroying enemy equipment. Flak Jacket offers more protection against incoming explosives, especially useful when you dont have a Trophy System available, while Fast Hands means you can switch weapons faster. Finally, Gearhead gives you two field upgrades so in this case, two Trophy Systems and it allows you to hack all manner of enemy equipment, such as Prox Alarms and Blast Traps.If Gunfighter doesnt take your fancy and you opt for just five attachments, choose Perk Greed instead, as this will allow you to run with Tac Mask alongside Flak Jacket.

  • A four-pack of Samsung SmartTag 2 trackers is on sale for $58 right now
    www.engadget.com
    A four-pack of Samsungs SmartTag 2 trackers is on sale for $58 via Woot. Thats a massive discount of 42 percent, as the regular price is $100. This combo pack ships with two black trackers and two white trackers. They easily made our list of the best Bluetooth trackers. We appreciated the vast finding network, as there are a lot of Samsung phones out there contributing to it. We said the network is larger than anything out there for Android. The trackers offer a decent battery life of 16 months, and the batteries are replaceable. Theres also a large hole for keychains, which is something Apple AirTags lack. The ring volume is also louder than both AirTags and Tile Pro trackers. These trackers are fairly hearty, with IP67 water and dust-resistance. Setup is simple, as the companion app walks users through just about everything. Theres only one downside, but its a doozy. SmartTag trackers only work with Samsung tablets and phones. This doesnt really impact the finding network, as there are millions of Samsung devices out there, but does limit who should make this purchase. Follow @EngadgetDeals on X for the latest tech deals and buying advice.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/a-four-pack-of-samsung-smarttag-2-trackers-is-on-sale-for-58-right-now-152356230.html?src=rss
