Topic: Nintendo Switch 2

@Ralizah

If we're talking about Atlus games, Persona 5 Royal would also really benefit from an S2 edition that upgrades the resolution to 4K or at least 1080p. Given that Persona 5 is originally a Playstation 3 game and doesn't feel that demanding because of its stylised graphics, it was a bit disappointing that the Switch version didn't run at native resolution, which made the graphics look blurry especially in handheld mode. It's particularly weird given that both of its sequels (Strikers and Tactica) do reach 1080p docked/720p handheld resolution on the Switch and look pretty great. You'd think a sequel would be more demanding of the system than the original game? It just seems like Atlus didn't put too much effort into optimising the Royal port.

Anyway, given how Atlus has handled such rereleases in the past, I'm not sure if we're ever gonna get a free S2 upgrade or even a paid upgrade path for these games... If they ever make S2 versions of them, they're probably gonna be called "Switch 2 Remade Editions" or something like that, and we're gonna have to pay the full price again. 😅

Momentum is sapping fast,
Nintendo need to get on it.

Fortunately there is likely a partner direct this week, a fairly major game next week (Mario Tennis) , and likely a huge Pokemon Presents announcing gen 10 later in the month.

We'll also get the Nintendo financial meeting tomorrow to see how sales have been.

Mario Tennis hasn't been good since the N64,
but Pokemon could be promising.

I get why people want NS2 Editions of Xenoblade games so badly.

Just marvel at how great Xenoblade 2 looks rendering 720p in handheld. Now imagine 1080p on a Switch 2...

@Uncle_Franklin
Mario Tennis Aces was really good.

You know what's so messed up about Persona 5 Royal on Switch? I can run it in 60fps without even overclocking. You read that right. It doesn't even require a GPU overclock to hit 60. Granted, I do have to overclock to get 720p in handheld but that's beside the point.

I am of the firm belief Persona 5 on Switch was designed how it is specifically for battery preservation reasons. There's no way you can run the game and get 60 frames without even increasing the GPU clock speed, and have it not be a battery life decision.

Ah well. At least we got Persona 3 Reloaded now, and it's a solid resolution and 60 frames docked, and a stable 30 handheld (once again I'm suspecting battery life was a factor in that decision to keep handheld 30, regardless of what they say just because I know Persona 5 Royal can do it without overclocks on NS1).

I think they're done porting Persona 5 though. We'll have P3R and the new Persona 4 remake and eventually Persona 6. And Metaphor Refantazio.

@Uncle_Franklin Major is not necessarily the same as good 😆 Mario Tennis is typically a pretty big seller (around 5 million on Switch) and this new game looks like a beefy one. But yeah, between Pokopia and likely gen 10 Pokemon, Pokemon is going to be an especially big hitter for Switch 2 this year.

@FishyS

5 million?
That does surprise me.
