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

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

My review of Tales of Arise for the Nintendo Switch 2 (the game is also on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S & PC/Steam). For gameplay, click here: https://youtu.be/MaEojm1srs0
Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #review #videoreviews #switch2 #nintendoswitch2 #bandainamco #talesofarise
Note to Parents - Tales of Arise is rated T for teens (ages 13 & up) by the ESRB - https://www.esrb.org/ratings/41077/tales-of-arise-beyond-the-dawn-edition/
Developed by Bandai Namco Studios
Published by Bandai Namco Entertainment
Physical Version - Yes, but it’s a game-key card (55GB)
00:00 - Intro
03:42 - Part 1 Pro
07:16 - Part 2 Cons
09:20 - Overall
Pro
Switch 2 version holds up very well (both in visuals and performance)
Combat is still enjoyable
Switch 2 owners are getting the complete editions
Cons
Game-Key Card aside, the Switch 2 versions run only at 30fps (while some of the cutscenes can run up to 60fps, which to me is odd)
