The Monday letters page gives its verdict on Friday’s Nintendo Direct, as one reader is pleased Switch 2 modders are being sued.

I started playing it again and I have never completed it, although I still class it as one of my favourite games (which is crazy). I have it on the PlayStation 2, Wii, PlayStation 4, and Switch and I have the DS spinoff game as well! I won’t include Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. I have always been stuck at the sunken ship and never gone back. I think in your original review you said how it should have ended at the boss battle with the main villain (hydra thing) but it just carried on.I think Resident 4 is the only other game that I own on multiple formats, although at least I have finished Resident Evil 4. Simon Only maybe I don’t like the look of that motorbike in Metroid Prime 4 at all but Danganronpa 2×2 looks good. I wasn’t interested in what looked like a straight port (the main three games are already on the Switch 1 anyway) until I saw the extra story mode – I will keep an eye on that, as if it is a genuine new chunk of story and not just a couple of extra chapters then I will be picking that up.Third time’s the charm Having already purchased the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection for the Switch 1, I have pre-ordered Mario Galaxy 2 for the Switch 2, but not Super Mario Galaxy 1. However, I am now wondering if the Mario 3D All-Stars version of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and the new Switch 2 versions are completely different versions/SKUs? I had assumed they were the same and the Super Mario Galaxy 1 would be updated on release, so did not pre-order it. Now that I think they are different, and I would need to re-re-re-buy it for the upgraded Switch 2, if you include the Wii version I owned previously. If so, I will then have to pay a premium as I didn’t order the bundle, unless I cancel my pre-order which is a bit of a faff! It wasn’t clear on the Nintendo eShop or on the direct, now I think I have stuffed up. I mean, it was a good game but not that good. But I know I will order it anyway – can you provide any clarity? Geoff GC: The implication is that it’s definitely a different version, but it still doesn’t sound like they’re changing it much. So while it’ll probably be the definitive edition, if you can’t cancel your pre-order you’re probably not missing out that much.Come back later I’ve been playing through some of my indie backlog before I get stuck into Hollow Knight: Silksong. As they are leaving PS Plus soon, I prioritised playing Road 96, Night In The Woods, and The Plucky Squire. I really enjoyed Road 96, with its unique approach to storytelling, and Night In The Woods was pretty good until its ridiculous ending, but surprisingly my favourite was The Plucky Squire. I know you weren’t fans at the time, but I found it utterly charming! The graphics are obviously beautiful, emulating storybook artwork and lettering perfectly. The characters were all endearing, especially Thrash the heavy metal troll and the famous artist-inspired inhabitants of Artia. Some of the puzzles were really quite clever and used the ability to control the storybook well. The combat was probably the weakest part, but even that worked well enough and had some fun minigame battles thrown in to mix things up. Interestingly, I played the updated Streamlined version with less dialogue and hand-holding. From what I’ve read this vastly improves the game. It’s a shame the developers didn’t have this mode on initial release; the game might have had a better reception. Playing games on release isn’t really the optimum time to play these days. With bugs being fixed, general gameplay improvements and new added content/modes it seems wise to wait. It already seems to have paid off for me with Silksong and its difficulty adjustments.
