Ganryu 2 Patch Improves Frame Rate Issues On Switch

"We want to thank you for your feedbacks!"

As if they didn't know their own game was running that badly.

@Royalblues : Considering that the next Switch should at least be as powerful as a PS4 Pro (surely Nintendo can accomplish that at a reasonable price point by late 2023/early 2024), what would be the point of not producing another hybrid console?

The PS5 and Xbox whatever already fulfil that niche in the market, and adding another home console to the pool will only leave the door open for Sony and/or Microsoft to poach the audience that Nintendo has built over the last 5+ years.

Now, I do miss the tailor-made games from the GBA/DS/3DS days (the likes of which we still get, albeit just less frequently), but unless Nintendo makes a significantly underpowered pocket-sized handheld specifically to fulfill the (negligible) void of a dedicated handheld device, I think it would be incredibly foolish of Nintendo to abandon the hybrid concept that put them on the top of the pyramid after the disaster that was the Wii U.

I think the next logical innovation for Nintendo is to reintroduce dual-screen gaming, by including a slide-out second screen that can be used with supported games, as well as doubling as something similar to a Wii U Gamepad, where the primary screen wirelessly transmits images to the second screen when detached, and allows for asynchronous multiplayer with a single copy of the game, or acting as second screen when the console (the primary unit/screen) is docked.

But I absolutely agree with you that it is very frustrating when developers ignore certain features unique to the Switch, such as HD rumble and the touch-screen, the latter of which is largely ignored when it comes to multiplatform games.

@jrt87 : There is a silver lining to this though. If you have an extra Switch console containing all of the update data for your games, then that unit can serve as a backup in the event that something happens to your main console, unlike the Wii U (and rival platforms) that do not feature the ability to wirelessly transfer software updates between consoles.

If anything, I am more concerned about DLC that cannot be wirelessly transferred in the event that the servers are terminated, which is just one of the reasons why I abhor the practice so much.

@Royalblues i actually agree with you. Nintendo has lost some of its quirciness over the last few years. Most games released after 2017 are safe bets. The only ones standing out are labo, ring fit and mario circuit. The rest are mainly better iterations of previous installments. With very few exceptions such as kirby and metroid. Not something really exciting, bold or new…

In my opinion of course.

I have to say: the whole gaming industry pumps out more games that are all safe and feel exactly the same though. Which is why i like the Switch so much. Blessed by indies.

@Olliemar28 Not of any great significance, but I think there’s a minor typo in the title, opening line and closing comment: ‘Ganyru’ as opposed to ‘Ganryu’.

Is the patch live? I booted the game up and it didn't seem to update.

@jrt87 Hi, can you please elaborate more on why the guy is awful because I watch his content and never heard about any controversy around him, but you are the third person I came across saying that about him?

Really odd how disgusting dev like this getaway with selling a broken product and then won't fix it until after they got paid. This is such a bad practice. Clearly the game was running like garbage during development. If you only want feedback release a demo first and then the full game later, don't give us a broken game on release date.

@jrt87 Hmm, I’ve always been, and remain on the fence about him (granted looking into the Bird King thing could settle me against him, don’t know what that is), but two or three of those bullet points hardly make him “awful.” Bland maybe, not my kinda guy… probably, but awful? I’ll have to look into it myself I guess.

@jrt87 i feel it's not too out there to gesture towards support when you need it? i've seen tons of creators do this

also "bland" =/= awful, lol

i always get the dude confused with alphaomegasin (who is a totally different breed of awful,) so i haven't seen him since maybe...2012? but there have to be stronger points than some of these

@Silly_G
For me i would love to see things like analogue triggers return on a theoretical switch successor, i feel like the switch is definitely more "future proof" than the last 2 systems in that its base control scheme is fairly standard wheres a few previous systems had aspects which meant that there had to be some big changes to port over (something like star fox zero for example would need a lot more retooling than something like tropical freeze did)

another big thing i would love to see would be full digital and physical backwards compatibility

as a concept i do think switch is pretty much close to perfect since it gives the player a lot of choice in how you play so im personally hoping the next nintendo system is what the 3ds was to the ds, refining some aspects.

@jrt87 Why is he awful? (read the coments a bit better, sorry)

I mean he is not the most fun or interesting to watch, never been a fan, never hated him. He used to work for Sierra is all I know.
He does seem to have interest in gaming but I enjoy Gamesacks more when it comes to game content.

As a fan of challenging platformers and ninjas I was excited to download my digital copy of Ganryuu 2 on its release. The absolutely diabolical frame rate on the 2nd stage made it unplayable causing me rage-delete it last night.

Does Nintendo not bother to play test ports to its gaming devices? Especially when digital downloads are not refunded? My Steam Deck pre order cannot come soon enough

the bad still sealed....lol
