They should update their firmware. Many random Chinese-branded Switch 2 travel docks have already gotten firmware updates that make them compatible with the newest Switch 2 firmware...

Any word on fixing 3rd party dock support that the previous update broke?

Great, I've been waiting to hear about this...just wish they'd get an eshop listing so I could wishlist it already!

As many others have said too, if there's a game I'm missing, it's Metroid Prime Pinball, or a spiritual successor.

All sounds good to me, just hope one day they give us an "update all" button somewhere to trigger the system checking and downloading updates for all installed games, you know, like we have on phones.

I'm all for inverting both axis, and love that we can also finally fix games that didn't have the option themselves (looking at you, Rime)

Any time you mention performance issues on new games I just really wish or hope they'll patch it for Switch 2, or does it already perform better there?

I enjoyed them fine on Wii, but I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I never really cared to play them again, Odyssey and now DK are more fun

@Milk_ A Final Unity remains my favorite Star Trek game, and while it would be great to get a remaster, they'd basically have to , and I recently was able to get it installed and running under Windows 11 by following the instructions in one of the comments here, just need to use DOSBox, of course:

Or someone made an installer package:

Would be great if they released a Switch 2 patch for this, though I think changing from free movement was smart for a console and when playing with a controller. I also hear they basically eliminated any of the short combat sequences, which sounds good to me too, since they barely fit in the first place.

@HolyGeez03 There is a Switch 1 version, there are two listings on the eshop, this is just a review of the Switch 2 version, which I assume runs better and at a higher res/quality.

Guess your character has grown taller since the first game

Only tempted if they offer a cheaper Switch 2 upgrade path as I already beat and enjoyed the game on Switch 1...

So Yoshi's Story 2?

Kinda wish there was a Switch 2 release, or they were planning to have two versions so it'll properly run better on the newer console...which it might, I'll hold out hope!

It being a game-key card just means there's zero reason to buy it physically...go digital at that point

I beat it on Switch, but will happily revisit the new world with improved performance. I already appreciated the graphics the first time around, but smoother will be better still!

I just hope maybe other companies can figure out waking the Switch 2, maybe 8bitdo can release another firmware update to support that on their controllers...or maybe I'm dreaming

The visuals remind me of something else from Panic, the Play.date

I've enjoyed every other Shantae game before this, though the GBC original is still the hardest. Looking forward to this one, but I can't seem to find the eshop page for the digital edition yet?

They're fun, but it's almost impossible to use the new grinding mechanics with motion-controls in MKW, I always end up having to use the stick

Looks like it'd be perfect for the Play.Date...but also Switch

But can it wake the system from sleep? Also, that button layout across the bottom is awful...

I guess this also might explain why SO many Switch games were being sold off on Woot, Amazon had plenty of copies still, but couldn't sell them on their main storefront.

So why is the bird transformation that lets you FLY themed after the most-famous flightless bird, the ostrich??

I have this cart for Switch...would be great if they pushed a Switch 2 update/upgrade for it!

Oh, nice, I've been waiting to pick this up, and seeing that they'll be upgrading it for Switch 2 only encourages me to want to buy it. Hopefully other companies follow suit and provide performance updates for their games on Switch 2 where necessary (like Tunic for example)

Why aren't there symmetrical Z buttons, so they can serve as L1 and R1?!

My old, Logitech 720p C525 works when plugged into a USB-A on the dock...is there even any noticeable improvement in quality when using a 1080p camera?

First off, Mario Kart World...secondly, the ONLY 3rd party game only for Switch 2 that I've been interested in so far is Fast Fusion, and I bought that one

Hopefully they know all the serial numbers for the stolen consoles and Nintendo can ban them once they get resold...

Wonder what other first party games will get some sorta Switch 2 updates...would love to see it for Mario Party Superstars too

over 3" thick though...

I ordered a matte glass screen protector before the Switch 2 even came out, and immediately put it on before even powering it up for the first time...

Lack of HD Rumble support on 3rd party controllers is still a real shame, and also inability to turn on the Switch 2 remotely (though maybe that'll come later, since at least SOME 3rd party Switch 1 controllers can wake it)

Pretty much since 3DS it was never advisable to go online or update a system you used a flash cart with or otherwise modified to pirate games...

It's fun after a GP or online races and you want a break...or just to find new challenges and race around tributes to old courses before finding the next impossible P-switch to attempt over and over.

I'm just playing at 150cc, which clears all slower speeds if you beat that level.

I dug up an old Logitech webcam and plugged it into one of the USB-A ports on the side of my dock and poof, it works just as well. Anyone interested in trying video Game Chat should try whatever random webcams they might have laying about first, at least until there's a higher-res piranha camera

Wish they'd redeem themselves by updating this for Switch 2...

Delivery people do this to us sometimes, but that's to avoid walking up the steps of our tall stoop...this guy just didn't want to walk a few steps down a flat path?!

Eh, I basically only play on 150cc and have for the past few Mario Karts...when I tried 200cc I felt like it broke a lot of the courses which were designed around the other classes.

Does this fix the bug where the right joy-con can't pair as a horizontal controller?

You had me at pinballvania...also comparing it to Yoku's, which I loved.

I'd imagine even normal Switch games that do not get updates will run smoother on Switch 2 just because it has more power, and it feels like the dev kit for Switch 1 must have been running at a slightly higher clock speed than our retail Switches, which is why so many 3rd party games would have to send out performance patches for unexpected issues once their games launched. Also, as you can find on YouTube, overclocking the Switch fixes A LOT of performance issues in Switch 1 games, including Link's Awakening.

Maybe with more RAM reserved for the system it can keep something like the eshop or Nintendo Online app open in the background rather than always relaunching them. Also, as fun as folders were when they were finally added into the Switch 1, I wish there were better ways to sort your games, like by genre or year too.

@HeroEightBit The reason would be so that everyone's battery is protected from capacity loss due to full charging cycles. Some electric cars do this, where the "100%" reported by the car is actually lower so there's no way to harm the battery by fully charging it. This software option is helpful, but still means if you try to, or do not set it, you'll charge up to 100%, which wears on a battery more than stopping earlier.

As long as I can transfer over my Mii icon again I'll be happy

Boooo, this has all the problems of needing to insert a physical card, without any of the benefits of games you buy digitally and have downloaded onto the system. Just means more games I will never buy physically.

NO, absolutely no reason whatsoever. If I want to buy a game physically, I want the game on the cart, otherwise I'd just assume buy it digitally.
