Solid 7.5 overall from me.

The hardware itself is great and I find it comfier to play over the original switch. Battery life isn't great but ive been able to get some decent life out of the games I've played. Today will be the real test as im traveling.

Games wise its been good but not great. Played Mario Kart, WWE 2k25, Kirby Air Riders and Star Crossed World, Fast Fusion and Hogwarts Legacy. Decent games to get started and in the new year i'll pick up a a few more games like FF7 Remake, Sonic Crossworlds, Hyrule Warriors, Donkey Kong or Assassins Creed.

Hoping for a new Mario soon and hopefully some proper ports of the Kingdom Hearts games.

My main concern is that the Switch relied a lot on Wii U game releases. Since that well has been just about tapped dry im curious to see how long they'll be able to patch holes in their release schedule. Im expecting a few Wii remasters in the next few years. Fine for me since I never had a Wii but not so good for others.

I've got a 256gb card but i'll need to upgrade to a 1tb when I can. FFVII Remake and WWE 2k25 alone are about 160gb and I've got a number of Switch 1 games. Will just be cautious with space for a while and then when I upgrade the card I can have more of my collection.

I've got a 256gb card and so far I've got about 120gb left to use but ive only got maybe a third of my Switch 1 games on it and the internal storage. When I can get my hands on a 1tb card that will be used exclusively for Switch 2 games and i'll put my most used S1 games on the internal and then my 256gb card will have just S1 games on it. I plan on getting Kirby Air Riders, Sonic Crossworlds and Hyrule Warriors on cart and then download FF7 so I should be okay for space for a wee while.

@AG_Awesome from what I've heard the framerate is more stable but they haven't fixed some glitches and the textures just look muddy

I hear Batman Arkham Knight is still bad

Very good. Probably won't replay it for a while though but nice to know when I do it'll be a nicely updated version

If they're putting in more Sonic characters I could also see Fang and Trip making it in since they were in the latest 2D game. Fang already has a vehicle so hed fit in well.

@TheSaneInsanity the more the merrier.

If it leads to Red and Blue from Gunstar Heroes both getting in id be happy

Never been much of a Zelda fan but I enjoyed the first 2 Hyrule Warriors games (the first one more so than the second) so i'll pick this up sooner than later once I've cleared some of the backlog. I typically play them on easy and enjoy just mindlessly bashing hoards if enemies.

@VeganH no you don't. The first game was its own thing and AOC was a separate timeline.

In saying that both games I enjoyed so id say you should play them if you get the chance

I'll get it eventually but im in no hurry. I enjoyed the other 2 Hyrule Warriors games but they weren't my favorites.

Forza 5 would be cool. Other than that there aren't a lot of games that id want. They've already ported the Ori games and both were great. Id be more excited if Sony ported the Spider-Man games to be honest than anything Xbox related.

Had no intention of buying this but ive heard some good stuff so the demo is worth a crack I reckon

Id like to see more Sega characters over random like SpongeBob and TMNT. Give me Red and Blue from Gunstar Heroes, Bayonetta, some characters from Streets of Rage and Golden Axe and hell throw in Ecco the Dolphin. A dolphin driving a car would be funny as hell.

Ive only ever played Pokémon Shining Pearl and it was fine. I thought about trying this but there are other games I want to try first

Looks interesting and different but im not sure if I'll take a chance on it until I get a decent sized memory card. I feel like the camera is a bit too close to the character. Also they totally lifted some of those scenes from Evangelion and im not really into existential dread these days.

Just finished a playthrough on Xbox so I doubt id pick it up again for a while even though I thought it was perfect. Id be more keen for the also rumoured GTA4 port.

I like Mario Kart World and when it comes to Switch 2 I'll probably like Sonic Crossworlds and enjoy both games.

I picked up the physical copy because it was only $30 more than buying Galaxy 2 digitally alone so I figured what the heck I'll buy both. Was always going to buy Galaxy 2 since I've never played it before.

Figures they'd be chomping at the bits to put Lesnar back into this as soon as he was "cleared."

Am looking forward to this but I can wait. Am picking up the Mario Galaxy games so have something to play while I wait.

Ive played a few Double Dragon games lately and this i think looks good. Looks a bit like Streets of Rage 4 and better than Neon. Will give this a look.

I think i played more Disney and Looney Toons games when I was younger. I played Ren and Stimpy on Sega and that game was fun. If it gets included I might pick it up but right now it does nothing for me.

I'll get the collection. I played the first Galaxy in the 3D collection and it was the only game I really loved playing. I was going to pick up 2 by itself but for $30 I can get the first one and not have to have the 3D collection installed.

I get why others are mad though.

This collection is the Monkeys Paw of game preservation.

If the options are game key card or digital download it'll be digital download (on sale)

I'd be more excited for 16 than 14. Never been a big online gamer.

Sounds like with the engine issues the best we'll get from 15 is the Pocket Edition which is certainly a way to play the game. I mean I have it and it's a fun little way to experience the story but no way to experience the game.

From what I've heard the Yakuza series was basically Shenmue done right so I'll give that series a go instead.

Top of my list are the Kingdom Hearts game proper. Not the crappy cloud versions.

Forza 5 would be cool as would the Mass Effect trilogy. I imagine if the rumored GTA4 port/remaster happens a S2 version would be good. I'm surprised there wasn't a version of GTA5 released on the original Switch since it started life as a PS3/360 game. Even if it had to forgo multi-player. If it got an S2 port under the same circumstances it would still be cool.

RDR2 im playing on Xbox currently. Great game but I don't know if I'd buy it again but I know others would.

Why don't I just burn my money

Still a number of ports they could do. They've got Galaxy 2, Mario 64 DS, all the New Super Mario Bros games and 3D Land. Could do a couple of decent collections.

Forza, Kingdom Hearts, FF7 Remake release date, RDR2, GTA4, Sonic Advance trilogy either standalone or part of Online and Yakuza 2.

I'd be happy if they put Ratchet and Clank and Spider-Man 2 on S2. I want to play both games but can't justify buying a PS5 for just 2 games. Even if the visuals need a downgrading I'd be happy just to play them.

So basically if you want a handheld console then buy a Switch 2

If you want a handheld PC buy a Steam Deck.

Glad that confusion about what each system offers was cleared up

What is don't get is why these companies can't do what they did with the Switch 1 and release part of the game on cartridge and part download?
I know this isn't the ideal situation but it swayed me when looking at saving space. A game like say LA Noire had a big download but it would've been 10gbs more if I went with digital.
A game like WWE 2k25 is download only and like 75gb. Why couldn't they go with the 64gb card and download the rest? Is it just a matter of money and production costs?

Top of my list are proper ports of the Kingdom Hearts games. None of that cloud bs.

Forza Horizon 5 would be cool too since the PS5 got it and it was also on Xbox One.

I remember at the time when it came out something with Hellena Taylor just seemed off to me. They wouldn't pay her what she thought they should've so replaced her with Jennifer Hale who's one of the most prolific va's. I doubt she got paid peanuts for that role. If they'd replaced her with an unknown i could've believed Taylor then. Also her digs and dragging Hale through the mud was a scummy thing to do.

I haven't got one yet but plan on it before the end of the year. The only games of interest right now are Mario Kart and the Gamecube titles. Once Donkey Kong comes out and some of the third party titles like WWE 2k25, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and some other titles I haven't played yet are on it then I'll have more a reason to get it.

I went with Savage Raven (formerly Skull and Co.) I have the Switch Lite version and I like how it feels so hopefully the next version up which looks easier to put on and off will be better.

Depends on how it runs. Having a choice between S2 or Xbox would be good. I'd rather they focused on getting the FF7 Remake games running well.

And Kingdom Hearts. Please give us the whole series.

Figure it will release around the same time the Xbox version does

So basically it offers slightly better resolution and 60fps which could've just been patched in with no new features or dlc but instead they are charging full price?

Meanwhile Hogwarts Legacy on S2 offered much better graphics and framerates with much better loading times and essentially made a new version of the game put an upgrade pathway for Switch 1 users.

I tried it a few years ago but i couldn't get into it but i feel like i need to give it more of a shot espwcially after i replayed Red Dead Redemption and enjoyed it all over again. A S2 port would be a good.

I feel like with GTA6 getting delayed Rockstar will fill their release schedule with a remaster of some kind. This would just be a simple port and i feel the PS5 and Xbox versions would just need a 60fps patch. A GTA4 + Episodes remaster would fit the bill better. Hopefully they get S2 ports as well. I'd like remasters of the PSP games, Warriors and Bully too but i feel that might be asking too much.

@MrCarlos46 most consoles have this due to some words being spelt different between US english and UK english

I played the first remaster on Xbox and i thought it was so boring. Just a boring, brown cover shooter with one note gameplay. I read i'll get the new remaster for free since i got first one but i don't think i'll bother.

I'll just buy them digitally during a sale. No point buying a physical cartridge if i still have to download the whole game.

Will pick up Mario Kart and Yakuza 0 firstly. After that will get Donkey Kong. Other than those 3 games not much else interests me. Hitman i'll pick up if they have an offline mode but from what i've heard it's really meant to be more an online game.

Once Final Fantasy 7 Remake and WWE 2K make it over i'll pick those up too (if they actually run well.)

I'll stick to the S1 version. It would be different if there were extra levels added but all it is is slightly better graphics and framerate

As much as i'd love to get them on there the WWE games will never happen. Still it would be cool to get the Mania, DOR and even Crush Hour games. Still a guy can dream.

I could see Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 making it on. Sonic Heroes would be cool but i think there are some rights issues with the engine and a full remake is rumoured to be in the works.

Played Mario Kart Double Dash and an arcade bar with my brother and sister in law. Was so much fun and i expect it'll appear sooner than later. Lots of potential titles.

Been on the fence about getting a PS5 for the last 5 years lol. Really the only exclusives i want to play are FF15, FF7 Part 2, Spider Man 2 and Ratchet and Clank. Most other games i've wanted i can either get on my Series S or still get on PS4 or Switch. If FF15 and 7 Part 2 make it to other consoles i'll have even less reason to buy one.

This move pushes me more towards either the Switch 2 or getting a second hand first gen PS5. That price point just isn't worth it.

Also remember when console revisions lowered the price instead of raising it? They were good times.
