@Bunkerneath what's the difference in you downloading the game into your internal storage in your big piece of plastic and having it ready for you to play whenever you want or another another storage piece encased in a smaller piece of plastic that comes in a box?
@topsekret what treatment would that be? They aren't out yet, why would you buy the switch 1 versions and upgrade them instead of just buy the switch 2 version?
@Danrenfroe2016 I would use passthrough but my receiver is 4k60, not 4k120hz. So I would lose the 120hz option. I bought a HDMI splitter to have the audio go to the receiver and video to the TV. It works.
I hope this fixes the 5.1 surround issue when docked. Basically 5.1 will not work through ARC, it has to be eARC because Nintendo doesn't want to pay Dolby for codecs. They will only use linear PCM 5.1 which is very limiting and only certain newer setups can take advantage of it. Many people might not even know they aren't getting proper surround because their receiver is upscaling the audio into Dolby Surround. But it's really just stereo playing out of the rear speakers.
@TheExile285 Pitchford replies to that question in the X thread. He said it's a big game, even with the physical card there will still be a download. At least you'll save 64gb of space with the card.
@TheExile285 right now Switch 2 only has a user base of maybe 5 million. It's a yearly release, when switch 2 is at 15 million next year they will spend the time and resources focusing more on the switch 2 version.
@LEGEND_MARIOID better than Blue Sky that's for sure. I was banned in 3 days for saying maybe people should have a choice if they want a covid booster.
After watching the DF review of the system and finding out the physical cards load significantly slower than the internal storage and SD express memory I've decided I'm going to pass on physical copies.
How about where we can actually buy a Micro SD express that's larger than 256gb outside of the US? It's like they don't exist. It's tough going from 1tb which was full down to 512gb total storage on Switch 2 😭

Re: Best MicroSD Express Cards For Nintendo Switch 2

Re: Borderlands 4 Scores Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date
@Whirlwound he said it will still require a download because the game is too big for the card. At least you can save 64gb of space with the card.
