Typical EA tbh. Lazy. Lazy. Rinse and repeat.

It’s a disaster the Switch 2

@Novuscourvous Let’s see…. I don’t think it will at all.

@Novuscourvous sales figures suggest otherwise

@Telcontyr console is only 4 months old. 4. PS5 still has games that don’t run well after 5 years.

There seems to be a lot of negative vibes around Switch 2. And I’m not sure why.

@BaldB3lper78 digitally only though. £33.99 each.

@Tandoori No. you can buy them separately as well

I’ll be picking up Galaxy 2. I’ll stick with Galaxy as already got that and don’t think the enhancements justify the cost.

However, let’s all be honest - the pack will be top of the charts very quickly. Nintendo know that, whether we like it or not.

Both Switch and Switch 2 showing strong sales and good market shares for a number of games. Good to see.

That’s certainly an interesting take on it.

I’m sticking with Easy Come Easy Golf. The original devs of the series! No issues at all and latest update means it plays beautifully on Switch 2.

Plenty of stuff I’ll be getting that’s for sure. Some great games to look forward to although it’s fair to say that Nintendo continue to play things very safe with Switch 2 but if it ain’t broke, why fix it I guess.

As for Virtual Boy,,,,,,, why. Just why?

It’s just so Nintendo. There was everyone wanting more Game Cube games or even Dreamcast adding to the service and among come Nintendo with the dumbest addition they could possibly think of that no one wanted.

Collectors will love it though.

PS & Xbox: “Next gen is here.”
Nintendo: “STFU losers, we’re rereleasing our worst console ever made, that’ll be $100.”

I’ll happily pay for Galaxy 2 tbh. It’s one of the best games ever made. So that’s a done deal.
And both will hit the top of the sales charts.
Nintendo being Nintendo.

lol. A collectors item if ever there was one that’s for certain!!! When they said NSO, I was like,.:: here comes DreamCast and then….. pow!!! 🤦‍♂️

Hoping for some release dates and some surprises as well!
It will never happen, but I would love the ability to launch GEForce Now or Xcloud on Switch 2. If would make the Switch 2 even more appealing to so many.
Won’t happen , I know, but I would love to have that ability and let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be hard to make it happen.

The only think stopping it is Nintendo themselves.

So Switch 2 is nearly at just 3 million sales behind PS5 lifetime sales in Japan? After 4 months. Thats insane

Hell yeah! Let’s have some Metroid and Mario!

This has to be one of the most pointless releases in a long time.

Strikes me as laziness from the devs. No excuse

@dartmonkey thanks for taking the time to reply. Appreciate it.

@dartmonkey Some Amazing games already and when you look at the list, it’s actually better than we thought.
The only issue or rather query I have is that a few games are on here that NL haven’t reviewed. Is that going to be rectified!

Darn you for this article. 😂

I really must get the N64 controller asap. Tried playing with my pro and it was awful. Couldn't seem to remap either. Weird controls

@AlanaHagues thanks. Still didn't bring up the Switch 2 version, but I've grabbed the S1 version and will just do the upgrade. Many thanks. Was just confused!

@BaldB3lper78 on the eShop it doesn’t have 2 versions. Just the OG Switch game

@AlanaHagues Are their 2 versions of the game? One for Switch and one for Switch 2

@Olliemar28 Thanks for this article. It puts a new perspective on the key cards and makes sense , reading the comments.

@PJOReilly I do feel that with Switch 2 the focus is more on the handheld side of things for the best way to play. I guess like with handheld PC’s it’s better in handheld than the big screen although this does sound decent and a great review. Glad to hear my fears have been allayed by this.

No point getting it on Switch 2 as it’s likely going to run with ‘performance issues’

Game key card……. No thanks then.

Love this game and now it’s back with a bang! Forget the ‘new’ game, this is how this is done. 👍

Downloading the update now

Just read the PS5 review now. Wow. Feel better now lol.

@Solid_Python Really?

@RiasGremory with a game like this though, it shouldn't even be an issue of power. Tablets and phones are getting to a point where they can run games better than Switch 2.
Nintendo’s complete reliance on 1st party games always serves them well.

@roy130390 exactly! It should run with no issues on the original Switch. Ridiculous that it doesn't tbh. That it has issues on Switch 2 is dumbfiunding tbh.

I may as well stick with Easy Come Easy Golf on my Iphone and Ipad that has zero performance issues at all.
Another 6/10 rated game. Another Switch 2 dud.

How can a game like this have ANY performance issues on Switch 2? That's utterly ridiculous

@SilverM Fair points. I just feel with better optimisation that some games could run better. Some of it is down to the system of course but a lot is down to laziness from devs, although Nintendo don't help themselves by not wanting 3rd parties to have dev kits and seemingly not that bothered about the Switch 2 that much at all right now.

Still. They know its selling well so maybe they are either not too worried to push it or are just being arrogant. If its the latter, they need to be careful. I am interested to see if the huge sales at the start of the life of Switch 2 will continue post Xmas or tail off badly.

I played the demo of this and it's a brilliant game. I'm holding off buying it through until its fully optimised for Switch 2. Its actually ridiculous that playing it on Switch 2 causes issues at times. Nintendo and devs on all sides need to get together over this because right now, it all seems a very blurry mess with Switch 2 and games.

@BrokenCiv Exactly the same. I may as well have saved another £400 and got a handheld PC tbh. I love Nintendo but they also frustrate the living hell out of me.

So basically the new Nintendo switch is just going to give us inferior ports of loads of games meaning there is little to no point buying them on Switch 2.
I was hoping for a really strong launch from
3rd parties and this far, Cyberpunk aside I’m really disappointed snd frustrated.

I actually thought Xbox would dive in really early - Indiana Jones comes 2026- with the likes of Forza for example.

I genuinely thought Nintendo would push harder to get some of the best 3rd party games over and of a very high quality but it looks like that isn’t going to be the case.

I’ve played the S2 beta and tbh was not impressed. It feels like , a legacy game again. All a bit awkward visually and certainly FPS wise, it’s a tough play on the big screen. In handheld it’s better due to screen size so I would stick to that if I do buy it, but tbh I would only get it once it drops in price.

Things may change of course but I don’t see anything that made it stand out at all.

So many key cards. Awful invention

Jeez! Would be interested but the price is insane.

I just feel like Switch 2 is going to keep selling well but we are going to get far too many of these ports that are not even acceptable.
I almost feel as if I’ve bought a bit of a dud.

I was really looking forward to playing much better ports in Switch 2 and it looks as if that isn’t going to happen very often which is frustrating.

I think I will look at a decent PC for major games and just use Switch 2 for 1st party games.

All just feels really disappointing.

Ah Drag X Drive. The Arms of the new Switch. Actually that’s unfair. Arms is a brilliant game and really will go down for me as one of the most underrated games of all time.
Anyway - moving on. Drag X Drive is actually a really decent game. The arenas are drab and dull though. That doesn’t make the game any different to play, but it’s unacceptable to have been so lazy.

He mouse controls are responsive and I enjoy them but it’s too much faff for long gaming sessions. The mouse controls should come into their own with games like Metroid Prime 4 hopefully. I can’t see many 3rd parties using them much sadly.

Drag X Drive is fun in small doses but it feels a bit like Nintendo’s approach to the Switch 2. The name will sell it alone.
