Topic: Nintendo Switch 2

@ShieldHero It's still alive, just hasn't had a new reply for a bit.

@Bigmanfan, thanks! 😃

Idk why anyone would be bummed about Borderlands 4 when it was clear the game wouldn't have been up to scratch. I think its fantastic they delayed it. Best news Ive heard yet. Yes, please delay games that would otherwise release in a sub-par state. Don't just ship em out and then complain about lack of sales.

The fact they're willing to push the game back shows their commitment to ensuring a better experience for Switch 2 gamers. Time will tell how it turns out but nothing good would have come by releasing it in its reported state.

It's only possible for people to complain about Switch 2 in so many threads at any given time.

Anyone else excited for Hades 2 release? I won't be able to play it until tomorrow (I know the release is like, in 12 hours or so) but still!

@darkfenrir It is genuinely terrific, I played the early access version on Steam and it is a remarkably good game

@darkfenrir
I would be hyped about Hades 2 on Switch except that I already have it Early Access on Steam. So I'm currently debating whether I also get it on Switch so I can get 120Hz and the nicer docked experience as opposed to 60Hz docked, 90Hz portable on my Steam Deck. Currently leaning towards not getting it on Switch 2 and just living with the mild downgrades and inconveniences of the Deck

@CJD87 Hell yeah! Same. Played it for 20 hours on Steam when it first released before going "ok, I'm going to love this to bits so I'm not going to play it too much like Hades 1 is, and I want it on handheld anyway" (I played Hades 1 for 10+ hours on Switch 2 and it was such an awesome feel. I had played for 100+ hours when it first released on EGS and that's why I know I shouldn't have done the same here)

@skywake Oh that's understandable especially with Steam Deck! I don't have any other handheld than my Switch 2 (and 1) right now, so I'm leaning far more toward just having a Switch 2 access

They say Monster Hunter Stories 3 is definitely no longer a handheld experience, but a proper big console experience. The MH World moment of the Stories series, so to speak. They also stress this doesnt feel like a side series anymore.

They played handheld on NSW2, apparently it looks phenomenal and runs great.

@JaxonH Did you see the RE Requiem Switch 2 gameplay from TGS? Game looks EXCELLENT, and it was handheld footage. I'm honestly beyond impressed with it.

Well, it's already been around two weeks but your boy finally has a Switch 2.

@Hapless Thank ya!

Here's hoping I play it more than my Switch. Been loving it a lot so far!

Didn't know where else to rant about this, so I'll do it here. Something's been really bugging me about the original Switch since the Virtual Game Cards update back in April. Now, all of my digital games (except Tetris 99 and NES Nintendo Classics) have a game card slot to the left of their name. This doesn't bug me too much, but something happening because of it does. Whenever I enter the "All Software" menu, all of the games pop up, but then it takes another second for the game card slot of my current game to appear, which is kind of jarring to me. Not too big of a deal, but having to deal with it time after time is kind of annoying. Anyone with a Switch 2, does this all happen on that system, or does it all load at the same time?

@IceClimbers
Yes I did, and I was floored. Resident Evil Revelations was one of the best looking 3DS games, and Resident Evil Requiem seems to be one of the best looking Switch 2 games.

We're really seeing the power of this system start to shine. I can't believe we have a hybrid handheld Nintendo console that's running games like this. Cyberpunk, Star Wars, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Resident Evil 9... and it hasn't even been out half a year!

@ShieldHero
No lag on Switch 2. The OG Switch is just slow. Well, if you have hundreds of games it can still take a second to populate all software but its pretty quick and once its populated it stays populated, unlike Switch.

@Kairuuu
Congrats are in order. I know how exciting it is getting a new console, particularly Switch 2. FYI the 1TB micro SD Express is back on Amazon iirc. Highly recommended.

Maybe i have misunderstood some releases, but aint Lego party and the new minecraft copper age update supposed to be released today ? Nothing has happened yet.

@JaxonH, awesome, thanks for the reply 🥰!

@JaxonH Thanks for the heads up! I'll keep an eye out on one, for sure. I've only got three games on the console at the moment but I'm sure I'll get a MicroSD soon-ish just to be on the safe side.

@Kairuuu That's awesome, enjoy it! I'm enjoying mine as well.

@D-Star92 Thanks! Glad to hear you're enjoying yours also!

They also said this:

In addition to Silent Hill 1 Remake, BLOOBER TEAM confirmed that it's working on 5 projects spanning ADAPTATIONS to new consoles like SWITCH 2.

We rule out the project with Netflix and we are left with 4 projects, which ones a do you think they are? Will Nintendo finally return to horror?
