Now what I'm really interested in is handheld gameplay.

@HaNks Just let the developer decide whether to enable the feature for their game or to get access to more RAM. To be fair, part of these 3GB are used by the OS but one more GB available to the game could already make a big difference.

@clianvXAi Either you're trolling or you don't know how software development works.

Thanks for this interview!

I loved SMT V but I skipped Vengeance on Switch hoping for a technically better version on the Switch 2. Now the Switch 2 is out and I'm still hoping for an upgrade. Come on Atlus, you can do it!

@Synecdoche Commenting every single news to state they won't buy any GKC IS whining.

@topsekret Would it be possible to have A SINGLE news on a switch 2 game without people whining over GKC?

That's an excellent news! But sadly still no Switch 2 version for these remasters...

Too bad they didn't add an option to choose between stable 30 and unlocked 60 for the framerate ayatollahs team, but they would have surely skipped the game nevertheless because it would not have been stable 60.

For me it's a day one purchase, playing this game handheld is a blessing.

People need to get over this and realize that modern gaming is digital, whether they like it or not. Game cards are more and more a thing of the past, and I'm saying this from my 35+ years of gaming. Next generation may not even have a game card reader!

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad"

I'd argue that you can't promote video games as art on one side, and on the other side harass developers because they made the game as difficult as they wanted it to be with no option to lower the difficulty.

If video games are art, then you must accept the game the way its creators envisioned it. You like it or you don't like it, but you can't ask them to do something they don't want to.

Not sure that's the boss they're referring to in the review, but this morning I beat a boss in the Citadel and by the end of the fight I felt so bad. That must be the saddest victory I've ever had against a boss in a video game.

@DennyCrane There is nothing wrong in what they've done. It's their game and their vision, and this includes the visuals and the difficulty as well. They're entitled to do what they want with their game, and people are entitled to not like or buy their game if they don't want to.

@Dark-Luigi But aren't there enough games out there for you to pick the ones that suit you? If you think a game is too difficult and not for you, if you don't have the time or patience for a game, then why not just pick another one?

It took me around 15 tries to beat Moorwing, but on the last try I didn't get hit at all.

Yes it can be frustrating to some, but just like in the Souls games it feels so rewarding on the last try when you beat the boss and you say to yourself "OK it wasn't so difficult after all".

@JohnnyMind AFAICT the consoles are not "bricked", they're banned from using Nintendo online services.

@abbyhitter You must be that funny guy in parties, right?

I know they're against preorder, but that could have been avoided with proper preorders.

@Serpenterror Isn't that the case for most games? A game with no patch released after the production of the cartridge is extremely rare.

I'm interested but I'll wait for a full HD / 60 fps Switch 2 version.

Still not listed on the eShop, I'll believe it'll be out on Thursday when it'll be playable on my Switch.

• We fixed the frame rate issues
• So you optimized your code? Cool!
• No actually we add an option to decrease rendering quality instead

I'm pretty sure there will be many other S2 upgrades for Nintendo games, but there's no point to release them all at once. Business wise it's better for Nintendo to release batches of upgrades now and then to gather media coverage between big releases.

@luke88 The Switch 2 supports DLSS, that's how Cyberpunk looks and runs so good. The PS4 did not.

@RareAir23 Be realistic: Everyone is only talking about the poor performances, and FromSoftware knew very well that by showing the game in this state, everyone would focus solely on the bad performances.

If they chose to show the game in this state, it means it will be like this at launch. If a more recent build could fix these issues, they wouldn’t have shown the game in this state.

Oh the famous "it's not the final build" while we all know the release will have exactly the same issues.

Really time they get a Switch 2 dev kit.

Won't buy it until a Switch 2 version is released.

This games looks very much like a prototype that never made it into an actual game, and then someone at Nintendo had the idea to sell it anyway at a low price to minimize the losses.

@Atariboy A Switch 2 patch for Doom 3 to get 1080p handled (and 120 fps why not?) would be enough to make me happy.

Wishlist: P3R, Metaphor, SMTVV S2, Witcher 3 S2, BG3, Expedition 33, Diablo 4, all RE remakes.

@LazyDaisy It could be better of course, and I hope it will get updated for S2, but it's not that bad either. I've made two playthroughs and it doesn't "run like sh*t".

@NiallMitch14 Yes, I was talking about the download speed of games. I see many people complaining that downloading games is slow but when you don't see the total amount of data being downloaded nor the download speed, it's quite hard to form an opinion on the matter.

The Switch 2 doesn't show download speed, so I can't tell.

Any idea why there's no summer sale in EU?

I don't understand. Are you saying that currently, when you download the GC app, all GC games are downloaded as well at the same time?

I read that the USB-C protocol used by the Switch 2 to communicate with the dock is proprietary, so these alternative docks are not gonna be available anytime soon.

I don't understand how the response time can be higher than 16.6ms since that's what is required for 60Hz. Lower OK I get it, but higher I don't understand.

At 17.06ms, the screen shouldn't be able to display at 60Hz while according to the specs it should be able to go up to 120Hz.

@PinderSchloss If they want to really improve these games, I think quite some work will be needed, not just increasing resolution like they did for the upgrades already released. I would not be surprised if these updates were not free, like the ones for BotW and TotK.

@FortniteJ Take a deep breath, everything's gonna be alright.

@Johnny44 Compare The Witcher 3 on Switch to Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 if you want to see what the Switch 2 is capable of.

Loving all the people waiting for a revised Switch just because a handful of batteries are faulty out of the millions of units already sold. You could as well stop buying any electronic device, because whatever device you're considering there's always a probability to get a faulty device.

Keep on waiting! In the meantime we'll have fun without you!

No Man's Sky proves that a Switch 2 upgrade generates new sells, so I'm quite curious as to why there's not more of these upgrades for various games.

SMT5, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and The Witcher 3 are the 3 games I most wish a Switch 2 edition will be released.

So sad that Fantasy Life I is nowhere to be seen in these charts.

"a few hours of battery life left", thanks for the laugh.

@TwinFami Don't hope too much, it won't be fixed because it's not a bug. The battery capacity is too small with regards to the power consumption of the system. The best you can hope is a few minutes more. They had to make a choice between a more portable system with a smaller battery or a more bulky system with a larger battery, they chose the former.

YouTube app not working is currently the only reason I keep my Switch 1 at hand, I hope they fix it soon and that 4K will be available!

@speed_loafer YouTube on Switch is linked to my account because I'm the only one using it. YouTube on TV is not linked to my account because I'm not the only one using it.

@canaryfarmer Because the upgrade from Switch to Switch 2 will be sold £10.
