00:00 - Intro
04:06 - Pro
06:36 - Cons
07:26 - Overall
Pro
Maintains the solid action combat (along with the graphical options)
I do like that the gameplay takes some pages from Wo Long to Rise of the Ronin
I do like the idea of switching between the Ninja and Samurai approach in combat
Cons
Mixed in that certain weapons can only be assigned to either the Ninja or the Samurai

For this week's My 2 Cents Nintendo/Gaming video for the week of October 11 to 17, 2026, I give my thoughts on Nintendo's physical media approach; Asha Sharma on Xbox IPs & Microsoft is more open to exclusives
Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #my2cents #nintendo #physicalmedia #xboxgaming #xbox
Runtime for each episode - around 30 to 40 minutes
My thoughts on season 1 - https://youtu.be/2rnqMVPifjw
00:00 - Intro
02:56 - What I like
06:24 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure
08:30 - Overall
What I like
The fight scenes in season 2 are good (especially the ones between Dante & Vergil, not to mention the ones with Mundus & Arius)
I do like that Lady/Mary did get some kind of redemption arc in season 2
Better choices of music than the music they used in season 1 (not perfect but better)
What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure
Although it looks like they toned it down (at least from my view), there is still some political message that some may or may not like

In this week's My 2 Cents Nintendo/Gaming video for the week of October 4 to 10, 2026, I share my thoughts on whether Sony could revive some of its old IP. Could we have more than one Xbox? Helix, Platinum talks about Bayonetta's future & August 2026 Circana

Physical Version - Yes (Full game in cart)
00:00 - Intro
04:12 - Part 1 Pro
07:56 - Part 2 Cons
10:46 - Overall
Pro
Runs at 60fps & Higher Resolution (up to 4K in Dock, HD in portable)
Gameplay still holds up well
New addition (Switch 2 version), like the Ether Jet to Amiibo support
Cons
Ether Jet can’t be unlocked until Chapter 4 & reach Bionis Leg Refugee Camp
Although not expansive, the upgrade to the Switch 2 version is $10 (for those who have the Switch 1 version)
Some Criticism from the Switch 1 version still stands in the Switch 2 version
