Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Is Getting A Sweet 'Switch 2 Edition' Upgrade This November

I will finally bite and pick this up.

I’ll wait and see how it looks and plays before diving in.

Idk be that guy…..but I’m wondering how Dragami Games got a dev kit after all those rumors about the difficulty getting one.

Tbh, the improvements don’t look that great from the comparison video. That said, I guess I’ll take whatever I can get since I already own the Switch 1 version. (Still think performance is way worse than it should be)

@TheExile285 I would guess that the difficulty is Nintendo themselves are just being weirdly selective about who they want to give them to. With the upgrades revealed in the recent Direct it seems like Nintendo is trying to use each upgrade as a sort of showcase rather than flooding the market. Lollipop Chainsaw hits their quota for, "weird cult classic," that they can now say is available.

They did something very similar in the early days of the Switch as well.

Still waiting on that Killer7 sequel...unfortunately it is the only suda game that I have liked. Also that was probably 20 years ago...

@TheExile285 @Indielink or… is it possible that this “trust me bro” isn’t a good enough source?

Not my first choice for a Switch 2 edition… or the second or third or so on.

@progx If we hadn't heard from multiple developers who have confirmed they've had difficulty getting dev kits you might be on to something there.

@TheExile285 S2 came out beginning of June. It’s now mid-September.

It’s been a few months.

Nice. Still waiting for my physical copy, last time I preorder anything from LRG. Hopefully everything goes smoothly for the sequel.

I think to solve game key cards are to make the game on switch 1 physically and give it a switch 2 upgrade patch 🤔 its a win win for everyone?

@tonyp1987

It's not a good solution but it's better than nothing. It's just that we have already seen big players like Square Enix being wildly inconsistent when it comes to upgrade patches and they are not the only publisher who refuses to even have a paid option.

I just don't get it why games like "No Sleep For Kaname Date" don't have one.

I'm not supporting the key card SW2 release so I'm going to have to play the little bit choppier version instead.

@Kuruwin I mean like you said its better than nothing....ill rather buy a switch 1 game physically and pay for the switch 2 upgrades like I did for zelda breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. I will eventually pay for the kirby forgotten land switch 2 upgrade too. I think square Enix is being crazy with not letting us upgrade switch 1 versions to switch 2 they rather us buy those game key cards for switch 2...my thing is if the game can fit on a cartridge then let us buy it physically

Cool but I'm not supporting this dev after the disgusting stuff they've been saying

UGH!! But I just finished playing the Switch 1 version on Switch 2 (it then locks at 60FPS). Ah well... Guess I can go back to unlock the remaining costumes in the Switch 2 Edition when it hits then.

Fall Guys, Human Fall Flat, Overcooked and now uh, Lollipop Chainsaw.

Not the Switch 2 Edition Paradise we envisioned, but the one we deserved…

Cool it's a really good game

Ermahgerd, Lerllyperp Chernserr RePERP!

Apologies, I just had to see that written out.

I'll be an old man but I remember renting this back in the day and thinking it was a sweet rental experience. 6-hour single-player game so it's perfect for that. Would never buy it in a million years.

That's pretty rad.

That's awesome. But it's really unpredictable which games are getting upgrades and the ones that are not.

I know it depends on the developers, but it's just crazy that sometimes AAA devs come with "We don't have dev kits" and some obscure or small devs have Switch 2 version of their games up soon.

I really wish more games got better ports, specially older great games on switch and DEFINITELY most games on coming soon section should have switch 2 versions, but we know how that section is looking. It's improving, slowly but improving.

@TheExile285 I'm thinking a lot of companies just recently got kits. Inticreates announced yesterday they were doing a Switch 2 version for one other games. Also I think one issue has been, smaller companies aside, is that bigger companies did get dev kits but not enough for all their teams.

The originals soundtrack is what it made it worth playing.
Missing these tracks:

"
Removed Songs
"Hey Mickey" by Toni Basil
"You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive
"I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
"The Final Countdown" by Europe
"We Are the Champions" by Queen
"Zombie" by The Cranberries "

Makes the game dead to me. Its what made the game work so well in the original. Its like taking the most of the music out of Ocarina of Time and trying to call it the same game.
I would've bought and played this again after the ps3 (version which I still have) but there is literally no point

Great news! The game is great fun even without the original soundtrack (but of course, a downgrade). It's unfortunate that music licences don't work the same when it comes to games as for films. When they rerelease films for new media (such as streaming), they don't have to renegotiate music licences.
