Its probably not going to be cheap (YouTube)The Friday letters page tries to guess what the Nintendo Switch 2 mice will be used for, as one reader struggles with the endless menus of Monster Hunter Wilds.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukInflation issuesTheres been a lot of talk lately about how the various PC handhelds, including the Steam Deck, arent actually very successful and have sales that seem miniscule compared to the Nintendo Switch. There are lots of reasons for this but one of the most obvious is that theyre more expensive, at 500 or more.There are other reasons too, like the fact that they need a lot of faff to get games running properly and the Steam Deck isnt even sold properly in the UK. But at the end of the day their price and expensiveness basically makes them a niche product. And I agree that does seem an odd thing for Xbox to want to be involved in, although I suspect theyre just doing it so they can say they still make hardware.So weve established all that but the obvious problem with the Switch 2 is that its going to be more expensive. It was 280 at launch eight years ago but thats obviously going to increase based purely on inflation. We keep hearing rumours of the price being close to $400 and that is going to mean around 400 here.Im not saying I wouldnt pay that, but that is going to put a lot of people off, especially in these uncertain times. Even 350 is a lot of money for parents worried about so many other things. Im as excited about the Switch 2 as anyone but its not going to be the easy ride for Nintendo that some people seem to think.LeftyAlways waitIs it just me or is there no reason for Bethesda to be shadow-dropping the Oblivion remake? Ive never understood why suddenly releasing something out of the blue is supposed to be a good thing, because personally I want to research my purchases a bit before I hand over any money; even if its just an indie game. And this isnt, I assume its a full price game.Obviously, its publishers tempting us into making an impulse purchase but the strange thing is I cant think of any of these shadow drops that were actually bad and they were hiding something. I guess the idea just seems naturally suspicious to me, but I cant think of any situation where it wasnt always better to wait before buying a game, whether its to wait till the price lowers, till the game is fixed, or just until theres a consensus on whether its any good or not.GoolashAnything but newEven after youve explained it, I still cant even begin to imagine why someone would make a sequel to Beyond The Ice Palace and expect anyone to care. It would make the jokes about bringing back Blinx: The Time Sweeper seem like legitimate ideas.I guess your theory that the name was available and cheap to use makes some kind of sense, but while it might earn the game a few reviews, that it wouldnt have got otherwise, I really cant imagine it helping in term of sales. If you are old and nerdy enough to remember the original, then youll know it was a really bad game.It really is the most extreme example of companies going out of their way to do anything but create a new franchise. The fact that its just a blatant Castlevania clone on top of that makes it even funnier. I now demand a sequel to BMX Ninja (remember that?) except its a flight sim.AerieEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukI herd you like menusI played and liked Monster Hunter: World on PlayStation 4 and Rise on the Switch, so I recently started Monster Hunter Wilds on the PlayStation 5, thinking Ill be alrightId forgotten how bewildering these games are at first. Menus within menus with other menus, if you press various buttons or D-pad directions.It took me a google to invert the vertical camera axis.Its a great game, albeit a constant loop of kill that to get better stuff to kill the next stronger that and the combat is very good, if slow (I like the hammers, very solid feel to them).If anyone is thinking of buying it, whove never played any of the series before I can only say this: be prepared to be confused, it takes a while to work out.Chevy Malibu (PSN ID)Mild approvalJust watched the Borderlands movie on Amazon. Its no Fallout or The Last Of us but its not that bad. I particularly liked Jack Black as the annoying android Claptrap.They should make a Brtal Legend movie it would have a great soundtrack. Think I will check out the Like A Dragon movie next.Johnny Alpha SDCurrently playing: Doom Eternal and Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6.Expect the unexpectedThe thing Im most interesting in learning about the Nintendo Switch 2 is what the mouse feature is going to be for. I cannot believe that Nintendo added such a strange thing just to make first person shooters or port over old real-time strategy games. They must have something else in mind, but I cant fathom what it is.I know thats why theyre the mega successful game developer and Im not but what is it for? I think probably that secret online game theyve been playtesting is one reason, because it seemed kind of like a city builder type game and I got the feeling they might push it as a sort of Miiverse replacement.Would they add mice for just that one game and just treat everything else as a bonus? I wouldnt put it past them, after all the IR sensor barely got used in anything, but given the prominence of the mice in the reveal trailer it feel like theres more to it than that.As another reader has said, I like the fact that there are so many unknowns about the Switch 2 and that, hopefully, a lot of the announcements are going to be things we didnt expect.I imagine theres a good chance that the inevitable new IP that Nintendo will announce will make extensive use of the mouse mode, as a way to show it off. Ive no idea what that it is but thats just the way I like it. Its like the opposite of knowing therell be another Call Of Duty or EA Sports FC this year.JoshSerious musicCould you have a serious look at the comments section? I was trying to send the comment below on the Underbox, but it kept getting rejected despite there being nothing wrong with it:My favourite original soundtracks are, in alphabetical order:Lunar KnightsP.N.03Puzzle League DSShinobi 3Sonic The HedgehogSonic Adventure 2 BattleStreet Fighter Alpha 3Streets Of RageThe Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of TimeLeighDappaGC: We have no control over the comments moderation, but well see if we can have a word with those that do.No more listsAn impassioned counterviewpoint to ChaosMRs perception of the state of modern video game music, this is. I resolutely believe that in all actuality there have been a plethora of modern games that have had very memorable soundtracks released throughout the years.Unless you have an unfortunate tendency to play mostly just Western triple-A games, that try desperately to look and sound like Hollywood films, and ignore the broad swath of Japanese, Nintendo, indie gaming et al., then I find it quite hard to believe that your criticism isnt deliberately surface level, and perhaps a tad parochial.Here are but some superbly video-gamey examples of contemporary (and a few beautifully recomposed) soundtracks from just the past few years, other than the absolutely exquisite Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth scores, of course:The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The KingdomHi-Fi RushStellar BladeBomb Rush CyberfunkKunitsu-Gami: Path Of The GoddessNorcoAstro BotMetaphor: ReFantazioSilent Hill 2Sorry Were ClosedPersona 3: ReloadedLike A Dragon: Infinite WealthTekken 8Armored Core 6Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders RevengeBayonetta 3Final Fantasy 16Pikmin 4DraniusCocoonSonic FrontiersStrayKirby And The Forgotten LandXenoblade Chronicles 3Shin Megami Tensei 5: VengeanceElden Ring + Shadow Of The ErdtreeLies Of PAlan Wake 2 (for that enthralling musical stage alone!)Galvanized GamerGC: Today has been an exception, but please dont just send in lists of things without any commentary. It gets very boring, very quickly, and encourages everyone else to send in nothing but lists too.Inbox also-ransI would like to rent a PlayStation 5, how do I do this? Many thanks.AdamGC: You can do it from the PlayStation website here.I love how nowadays a game getting a sudden annoucement, to take advantage of an unexpected success, still means we wont see the sequel for five years. Nothing happens quickly in video games anymore.LipsisMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
