About freakin' time.

But what is up with the stupid motorcycle? Please tell me Samus does not ride a motorcycle. Please.

Yea, i was also disappointed with motorcycle, i guess that will be vehicle for transportation between different zones.
Also for some reason i dont get that feeling i got from previous game.
Game look insane tho

I actually like the motorcycle thing. Looked super cool. Although the open world is a bit lacking in detail. It looks specially out of place, because on-foot sections look stunning and very detailed.

It would be too much for Switch 1 hardware

Ok, but what they showed was the Switch 2 version of the game. Like... if this is how it looks on Switch 2, I'm terrified of how will it look on Switch 1

They toned down the Switch 2 version to make it runs fine on Switch 1. It wouldnt go well for the franchise if its newest entry look like crap on Switch 1.

Also, if they took the time to polish the open world sections on S2 version, probably the game wouldnt release this year

It will look the much the same on NS1 apart from lower resolution, lower textures and lower frame rate. Look how good MP1 remastered looked on the original Switch.
