I was wondering how it was going to look and perform on the Switch, but this looks fantastic!
The side scrolling gameplay just makes sense on the switch as well . Picking this one up on switch instead of series x or ps5.
That's probably because this game was built with the switch in mind first, making it easy for all consoles to run it in optimal condition.
I've been a huge fan of the Prince of Persia games since the Sands of Time trilogy and I couldn't even begin to describe how excited I am that they're bringing the franchise back and building it on my favorite gaming genre. Just WOW. This is 100% a preorder for me
As a matter of fact I literally just ordered the Digital Deluxe version on the Nintendo eShop lol
It looks pretty good. Definitely gives me Metroid vibes after we had Metroid Dread. Definitely going to be picking this up.
It doesn’t even come close to the quality of the Metroid dread visuals / aesthetic.
I was instantly reminded of Dread when this was first announced, and it intrigued me. After this, I’m 100% sold on it. Even the map looks like it’s from Dread. I hope more games take inspiration from Dread like this. Castlevania in Dread style next please!
Dread was such a well built game, completely share the same sentiment.
Very Metroid Dready, and with the Rayman Legends team I'm all for it. Amped for the demo.
Already thought this game looked great, and now I think it looks amazing.
60fps on Switch
Made by Rayman Legends dev
Map markers
Great combat
Sign me up!
Thanks Zion! I played the demo at PAX AU and preordered it the next day. This video has pretty much cemented this decision instead of a last minute cancellation when the review embargo is lifted.
The sands of time was amazing to me mainly because it nailed 3 main things. Storytelling that felt natural and engaging, combat that felt intelligent you couldn’t just mash your way through every fight and the number of fights were well distributed you weren’t constantly running into enemies, and lastly traversal and movement. Entering a room from the top and having to find a way to safely descend was so refreshing and satisfying and the different ways you had to wall run and grab and cling to things made movement feel like a puzzle. So if this new game has those 3 elements I’m definitely excited
Thank you for your take. I want to hear switch watch and switch-up's reviews before purchasing. I don't know why I'm so on the fence with this one
60fps, what? I was skeptical about this release. This video has me considering a pre order. Def want to support a new PoP game. Nice work NL and Ubisoft.
prolly cuz it's 2d
I don’t care what people say about Ubisoft, I love them as a developer wether they make there open world same same games or Mario rabbids games. This looks epic and a must have for me.
@@tommythornton470 Mario and Rabbids is probably better quality because Nintendo would chew them out if it wasn't. lol I do love it though. Even got the dlc for it.
I’m interested, but since it’s on other systems I will avoid I’m trying to get games that are switch exclusives.
@@MacUser2-il2cx there is DLC? My partner bought me that game last Xmas, guess I’ll be playing it again this Xmas…
Really excited for this one. Picking this up on switch instead of Xbox or ps5 it just looks like it belongs on switch!
This remind me of games like Ori,Metroid and Castlevania which are good games if you like this style of games.
It's funny because I'm expecting this like a evolution of 2D Prince of Persia instead of 3D :D
Looking forward to this one! Are there any other MVs anyones been playing this year that they would recommend?
Blasphemous 2 is essential
@@tommycwills so so good 👍🏼
These are my personal (not necessarily new) faves:
- Hollow Knight
- Metroid Prime remastered
- Metroid Dread
- Ender Lillies
Honestly this looks really cool, similar in style to immortals, which I also loved. Big PoP fan, so looking forward to this game x
I planned to play this game when it was first revealed. Glad my instincts for this game was good. Happy to hear good reviews for it. A big prince of persia sands of time fan
Such a beautiful game. Just played the demo on my switch OLED and it’s AWESOME. Docked looks great too. I remember the original back in the day. Great game then and now. And a great review! Though I have a PS5 and a XBox Series S, I’ll choose the switch version because I want to play on the go, and btw, looks great on my gf’s switch lite, too. Finally a game release that is well polished out of the gate and will only get better with patches.
This looks great, I'm looking forward to it!
This looks great! Looks like s very fun metroidvania game. I hope the clicking pics and marking location feature lets you add plenty cause thats such a cool thing! Also hope they'll add a way to make travelling easier as you progress, like teleportes or something like, like how you turn into a bat in castlevania so you feel stronger as game progresses.
Excited to see this one!
I JUST beat Dread so naturally this looks amazing to me right now
Playing 2008 Prince of Persia music in the background is such a tease
I've always enjoyed the Pop console games. I'm looking forward to this.
also, thank you for doing this. you didn't change my mind. you just helped
cement my decision to buy it.
Definitely picking this one up!
I was skeptical of this game when I first heard it months ago, but it actually looks fun as metroidvania games. The artstyle is quite appealing to me as well. Thanks for the preview NL!
This game and Tales of Kenzera look like they where taking notes from Metroid Dread in terms of movement fluidity.
I hope Tales of Kenzera works well on Switch too.
This prince is hot.
CANNOT WAIT!!!
Looks amazing. Love Sands of Time and Metroid. This is a win win
More and more excited for this! I hope it's successful so we get more from this series, esp. something 3D again.
Trying not to spend money, but this looks so good. ❤
I’m looking forward to it 😊
Ok great. I was hoping this ran well on Switch because I prefer my 2D games on there. Picking up on release!
I've never played prince of persia before, though back in the 90's at the videotron rental store I used to see the game box for the snes. This game looks a cross between Castlevania's mirror of fate and metroid dread, both made by mercury steam. This'll be a day 1 buy for me.
Never played Prince of Persia but loved Metroid Dread so seeing the similarities has me sold. Also love seeing the ethnic representation! Looking forward to the release!
This is amazing reminds me of the pop forgotten sands psp version.
Now im am intrigued. This could be a DayOne for me.
add a CRT screen filter then that game will be good.
Aside from silksong 2nd most anticipated metroidvania
This game is looking very good
I’ll be so happy if Switch gets a legitimately good POP game on it. It’s been too long 😅
Its not yet release how u play it?
Is this all captured from Switch?
Seems like soooo many games that are coming out are metroidvanias. The back tracking gets tiring after a while.
Except Moon Studios which seems to go from Ori to Diablo type of game.
This game looks like its gonna be so damn good. High on my list for next year!
People have been sleeping on it a bit but Im super excited for it. Plus, the Rayman Legends team is very capable. Adore those games.
Sargon deez nuts lmao
I have realy enjoyed this game its the funest game i have played this game deserves an award
Gonna get it on PlayStation.
Don't hurt Zion's feelings.
I’d rather this game was a switch exclusive and not on PlayStation or Xbox. I’m only interested in switch exclusives now.
Ain't on PlayStation 😂. They stopped making games for it decades ago 😂😂. I'll probably play it on my PS5 though
Is it 60 fps on switch ?
@5:36 Yes, they confirmed this at this point of the video.
Absolutely a day 1 for me
How would you rate it out of 10
Just played it, it's great! 9
But Metroid Dread... scared me. I don't wanna get scared.
Like strider but with new mechanics
bruh said warrior within. ill never forget sands of time
I think ill be getting this on switch rather than ps5
This I’ll get on Switch whereas the next PoP I’ll probably get on ps5👍
Looks like Ori meets Metroid Dread.
It wasn't mentioned at all but isn't prince of Persia supposed to have a rewind feature? It's sad how easily assassin's creed put a dagger in this series
Looks like I'll support Ubisoft on this one.
why there's no blood in video games anymore its stupid
i wish ubisoft make 2d splinter cell like the one made for java phone and ngage.
Yeah...I'mma need to get this game, next year🤔
Some Guy Of Persia…
Not a fan of the approachable settings options. We need games to go back to 1 set tailored difficulty. 1 balanced and tweaked design. These options make me feel like none of it will feel balanced and well designed.
Not having enough time in a day for a game shouldn't compromise the game for the player. Find the time for the game and then delve into it.
It need not be so serious lol. They can create the "ideal" difficulty (normal) and the "easy" option simply "decreases life" and "increases your damage." It just makes it easier for casual gamers. That's it. They should strive for a main tailored difficulty, balanced and tweaked, and then a journalist mode that nerfs after the fact.
He looks more like Prince if Central Africa
Yeah, another sneaky race swap. But, it does look great
Maybe take a day off from the culture wars crap and just enjoy games for what they are.
@@Jambobist well companies are owned by Blackrock that literally admit to injecting politics and race into things.
So they have a point.
Persians are caucasian phenotype.
Character isn't middle Eastern.
The guy above me complaining and submitting, should cast me as a main character in his videogame set in Africa.
History is not what you think it is lmao
I bet there’s gonna be some Assassins Creed content in this game
PS5 or PC
Nice game!! Probably there is an option to play as female warrior/character in the next downloadable content!! 😎👍🏻
Prince of Africa.
Metroid Dread clone is there.
It looks good, no doubt. But $50 is a bit steep for something like this. Especially when there are amazing metroidvanias for much cheaper.
Just wait for a sale. It's a day 1 buy for me though !
Hollow knight took the crown. Hopefully this can rival it.
I highly doubt that.
No it didn't
Why can't Jake Gyllenhaal not be Prince of Persia anymore? What have you done Nintendo Life?
Prince of Persia staring the bad guy from Black Panther?
No. Different character/lore
mh.. this character reminds me more of Hades. I think they wanna bank on that.
Lol the Kilmonger haircut
🥴
The design of the character is horrible. Hair, earrings and the choice to have no shirt on are absurd.
Earrings should be removed.
Gameplay seems pretty solid, but I'm worried about the story - what hope can these bodyguards have against a force that was able to capture the Prince?
At least, not without supplanting the Prince as the strongest character in the series' lore, anyway...
This has a deeper story because it has more dialogue compared to Metroid's environmental storytelling? Surely people can see what's wrong with this statement.
Woke wannabe Metroid Dread with mobile visuals.
Lol 🤣 not directly tho, but the visuals don't grab me as well.
lol at "woke", fully programmed drone just spitting out the coached buzz words, kind of tragic really.
@@Jambobist Need a tissue?
@@Jambobist „Culture wars“ seems to be your buzz-word, wokey 🤡♿️
That's good satire 👍
25hrs is not worth the goimg price if AAA titles ($79 CAD)
I expect a min of 40 hours as a base and 80+ as standard.
Oh, no! Not the f*cking EMMI all over again :(
Well I’m not interested in this having never played this series before.
reminder this is a paid review, I wouldn't trust it
How do you go from sands of time to this? What an L game franchise
basically a non pixelated deadcells
Game looks good but still dumb you dont even play as the prince. Kinda the whole point.
