@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 😭
Not sure you can say "the jury's still out on joycon durability" and put it in the negative when we don't even know. It's a neutral point not a negative one.
This story needs an update. The entire game plus upgrade is on the same cart. The OG story was a complete fake. No one bothered to investigate any further.
I think Nintendo can afford a checkmark. Also their Switch 2 promo vid from January got like 40+ million views on X in a couple days. I really doubt they would give that up.
Now we can see just how niche Blue Sky is. The same user posted it on X and it has nearly 10,000 likes. Has 300 on Blue Sky. Anyways, it's a much more mature looking Switch. I love it.

I bought 2! They are incredible controllers.
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.

Looks great! Depending on the cost I'll probably buy it.
Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"
Interesting physical cards are slower than the internal and SD express. One less reason to buy physical.

@IceClimbersMain more are coming. There's only so much that can be done day 1.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Switch 2's Screen? Because Some People Certainly Aren't
I find the screen to look better than the OLED. It looks more natural and crisp. But that's just me.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Final Tech Specs Have Been Confirmed
I'm probably never going to use game chat. Really sucks it's going to prevent developers from getting more out of the system.

@Ultimapunch you're convinced? They didn't just come up with these in the last few months, it's been years in the works.

Re: Rumour: More Switch 2 Development Kit Rumours Emerge
If this is true it would be a stupid move by Nintendo. They care more about specs leaking than having a big launch lineup? Doesn't make sense at all.

Developers getting switch 2 dev kits after launch is ridiculous thing to think. That's not happening.
