@DonkeyKongBigBoy I remember enjoying of one of the games on Genesis during my childhood. (I can't remember which), but that may just be nostalgia talking because it's been about 30 years since I played it.
Playgrounds 2 was such a disappointment. I bought 2 copies of that crap for Switch back when it dropped to $20. I hope one day we get an NBA Jam/Hangtime collection.
I own Battlegrounds, but I never got around to playing it. So no comment on that.
I have an extra pair of joy lock grips from D Brand lying around. So, I'll buy these, to put them to use.
The grips make split joycon gameplay much more comfortable. They even make mouse mode bearable for more than 20 minutes without my hand cramping.
Split joycon is my preferred way to play while using the joycon, especially for games that support gyro (CyberPunk, RE Revelations 1 & 2, RE 5 & 6, ect)
Nice! I've owned the collection on Switch (physical) since day 1. I never got around to playing them. I'll upgrade to the Switch 2 version and hopefully get to them, someday.
I played the demo on both my PS5 Pro & Switch 2. Minus the ray tracing. The switch 2 version holds up surprisingly well. Both versions have gyro aiming. Love to see it.
Game key card means I won't be double dipping for Switch 2. I'm going with the PS5 version with a physical copy on day 1!
I bought 12 Switch systems over it's lifetime (5 Switch OG's, 4 Switch Lites, 3 Switch OLED's). So, I've done my part. I even encouraged some friends and family members to purchase their first Switch console.
@spiderman0616 I've been a fan of Xbox since the original. The 360 was easily my only console of choice during that generation.
I love PlayStation, but Sony needs competition. So does Nintendo, that's why I'm excited for the next PlayStation portable.
Series X would most likely be the last Xbox console. I buy, but if Microsoft can pull off a PC style box (Steam Machine). That's powerful and gives me access to my entire Steam library. I would be interested depending on price. Of course.
They clearly cannot compete with Sony any more. So it's understandable that they're trying to go another route. Next gen should be interesting.
I'll download the Switch 2 demo to see how it runs. But, I'm going with the physical copy for PS5 day 1.
Sucks that it's a GKC. Mask of the Lunar Eclipse & Maidens of Black Water look amazing on Switch OLED. I'd love to have a portable version of this. Oh well, I'll get it for Steam Deck OLED later on.
@Frozzik I'm sure it looks phenomenal on a high end rig. The PS5 Pro version is good enough for me. My only gaming PC at the moment is a Steam Deck OLED.
Does the PC version also have pop in issues? That 's my only complaint on the Pro.
I'm currently playing through Rebirth on my PS5 Pro, and it looks amazing. I know the game looked terrible on base PS5. It kind of reminded me of impossible Switch 1 ports where the screen looked like vaseline was smeared across it, it was so blurry.
It will be interesting to see how Rebirth runs on Switch 2. I'll be playing part 3 on my Pro. But it's nice to know that Switch 2 owners will be able to play all three games in the trilogy. The same goes for Xbox players.
Gyro should be a standard option for any game that could potentially take advantage of it. The fact that they grayed it out instead of fixing it is laziness.
Switch 2 even supports mouse controls. Between the hybrid nature and multiple controller options (Pro controller, split joy cons, gyro, mouse mode) A lot of these especially older titles, should be the definitive way to play on Switch 2 as far as consoles go. Minus some graphical downgrades here and there, of course.
I'm excited to see how it will look on my PS5 Pro with the Pro enhancements. Given Capcoms track record with Pro upgrades for RE, I'm sure it will look and run great!
I'll remote play it to my Steam Deck OLED with proper HDR and gyro aiming, and pretend it's a Switch 2 Pro or PS6 portable 😂😂.
I'd gladly double dip on Switch 2 for RE 7, 8, 9. But game key cards 🔑, so no I'll get RE9 for Steam Deck OLED, after a price drop for my portable fix later on.
I felt burned buying the Mario Sports titles on Switch 1 at launch (Golf, Soccer, Tennis) because they felt incomplete and added characters and additional content as time went on.
So I'll wait and probably pick this up later on towards the end of the year around the holidays.
I'd like to have this on Switch 2. Especially since it runs at 60fps but unfortunately, since it's a game key card. I'll go for the PS5 version instead.
An easy difficulty for an already easy game? Interesting. Great option for those who need it.
I had no problem playing through Cronos on my PS5 Pro. I even used my Steam Deck OLED to force gyro aiming and my aim was on point playing on the TV and in portable mode.
Great game! I need to go back and get my Platinum.
Multiple cartridge sizes should have been a thing since day 1. But better late then never.
Since there have been so few proper physical releases for Switch 2. It's been nice to save money, but I would like to build my Switch 2 collection somewhat similar to my Switch 1 library.
Until then, I'll continue buying most of my games for PS5 Pro, older and indie games on Steam with sales for SD OLED and exclusives on Switch 2.
@DennyCrane Oh no, so that means gyro will not work with RE Revelations 1 & 2, because only joy cons gyro work with those two games. Deal breaker! Thanks for the info.
I don't see anywhere about these supporting gyro? If not, that would be a deal breaker for me.
I'm currently using the kill switch from dbrand which is comfortable. But doesn't change the fact that the joy cons are terrible with certain games with their tiny thumbstick travel.
This seems to have full sized thumbsticks and back buttons, which I like.
It's nice that you don't have to slide the Switch 1/2 into the device. Because I remember people complaining about the original Nitro Deck scratching up their systems.
Guess, I'll wait for reviews and see what people say about it before I make a decision.
Pros- Bigger display and joy-cons with magnetic connection, Pro Controller 2, backwards compatibility with some performance improvements (RE 5 & 6, Revelations 1 & 2, Saints Row 3 & 4, ect), mouse mode, better Eshop browsing (no longer laggy), Switch 2 games look great (Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World) docked to my 4K OLED TV.
Cons- Game key cards, non OLED display, poor battery life, no VRR while docked, tiny thumb stick travel on joy-cons make handheld gaming less enjoyable, having to wait for more Switch 1 games to get upgraded (Xenoblade 1-3, X, please)
I hope to see a Switch 2 OLED and Pro style joy-cons with full size thumb sticks and buttons from Nintendo in the future.
Honestly, I'd probably be more impressed with the Switch 2 if the Steam Deck OLED hadn't been my go to handheld for the past 2 years. But with a much better display, full sized thumb sticks, back buttons, gyro with any game i want, ect. Steam Deck OLED will continue to be my handheld of choice.
I'm looking forward to all of the amazing Nintendo first party exclusives throughout the generation and with my massive back catalog of Switch 1 games (300+), Switch 2 will remain apart of my gaming hardware rotation for years to come!

Skip Switch 1/2 and pickup physical copy for PS5.
Purchase for Steam Deck OLED, after a sale for my portable fix.

Re: 2K Is Delisting Two Arcade Sports Games Later This Month
Playgrounds 2 was such a disappointment. I bought 2 copies of that crap for Switch back when it dropped to $20. I hope one day we get an NBA Jam/Hangtime collection.
I own Battlegrounds, but I never got around to playing it. So no comment on that.
Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection To Be Delisted Just Two Years After Release
@DonkeyKongBigBoy It's already worth more than I paid for it.
Not that it matters. There's just no reason to open it if I have the game digitally.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Switch 2's New Joy-Con Set Is Out This Week
I have an extra pair of joy lock grips from D Brand lying around. So, I'll buy these, to put them to use.
The grips make split joycon gameplay much more comfortable. They even make mouse mode bearable for more than 20 minutes without my hand cramping.

Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection To Be Delisted Just Two Years After Release
Glad I have my physical copy still sealed. I'll download it on Steam for my Steam Deck OLED.
Re: Subnautica & Subnautica: Below Zero Appear To Be Getting Switch 2 Upgrades
Nice! I've owned the collection on Switch (physical) since day 1. I never got around to playing them. I'll upgrade to the Switch 2 version and hopefully get to them, someday.
Re: Video: Pragmata Demo Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch 2, Xbox Series S, PS5)
I played the demo on both my PS5 Pro & Switch 2. Minus the ray tracing. The switch 2 version holds up surprisingly well. Both versions have gyro aiming. Love to see it.
Game key card means I won't be double dipping for Switch 2. I'm going with the PS5 version with a physical copy on day 1!
Re: Murder Mystery Goes Monochrome In This Time Loop Noir Thriller
There is a demo on Steam. I'll check it out on the OLED.
Re: It's Official, The Switch Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Console Of All Time
@eaglebob345 Understandable, but Switch is ancient tech at this point, Nintendo can afford to take a minor loss.
It won't happen, but at least they could say they have the number one selling console of all time.
Re: It's Official, The Switch Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Console Of All Time
I bought 12 Switch systems over it's lifetime (5 Switch OG's, 4 Switch Lites, 3 Switch OLED's). So, I've done my part. I even encouraged some friends and family members to purchase their first Switch console.
Re: It's Official, The Switch Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Console Of All Time
Come on Nintendo, give Switch a price drop. So it can pass up the PS2.
Switch 2 is already selling like hot cakes.
Switch OLED should be $300
OG Switch $250
Switch Lite $150
Re: 'Under The Island' Looks Packed With Minish Cap-Style Charm In New Release Date Trailer
Added to Steam wish list. I'll check out the demo on my Steam Deck OLED and wait for a sale on this one.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For February & March 2026
I'll pick up Mario Tennis Fever, Mario Wonder Switch 2 Edition, & Marvel Cosmic Invasion later on.
Dragon Quest VII, Fatal Frame 2, RE Requiem, & Re Animal for PS5 Pro.

Re: GDC Survey Shows Switch 2 Is Proving To Be A Desirable Platform For Developers
Switch 2 being a high priority for developers Isn't surprising to me.
I love my Steam Deck OLED, but it hasn't exactly set the world on fire in terms of sales.
Seeing it so high up on the list makes me happy!
PS5 Pro & Steam Deck OLED are my go to devices. I still like my Switch 2. But I haven't played it as much lately.
Such a shame for Series X. Because the hardware is great!
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Is Getting A Themed MicroSD Express Card
Almost double of what I paid for my 512GB Micro SD Express card ($75) at the Switch 2 launch. I'll pass.
Capcom could have put at least 2/3 RE games on a 64GB game card in the generation pack and I would have bought it.
Re: Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake Switch 2 Demo And Silent Hill f DLC Collab Announced

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake's Sequels Will Have "Exactly The Same" Gameplay As Other Consoles

Re: Random: YouTuber Combines Switch 2, PS5, And Xbox Series X Into One Huge Machine
All 3 machines in one box is cool and convenient.
But I already have a PS5 Pro, Series X, Switch 2, multiple Switch 1 systems and a Steam Deck OLED. So I'm set.
Re: Mystery Product Code Sparks Rumours Of A New Switch 2 Model
Bring on the Switch 2 OLED.
So my launch model can stay forever docked to my TV.
I'd even take a Switch 2 lite as long as it has an OLED display. But I doubt that would be the case.
Re: PSA: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition On Switch 2 And Switch Has Been Updated To Version 1.0.2

Re: Tales Of Berseria Remastered - Switch Performance And Resolution Detailed
So there is no Switch 2 version? Even if there was it would most likely be a game key card anyway.
I have the original for PS4 & Steam, but I haven't played it. I'll pick up a copy of the Remaster for PS5.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Latest Trailer Teases Bustling City Environment
@Solid_Python But the thing is I WANT to play the games on Switch 2. I'm just not a fan of game key cards, is all.
But no, I buy the newer more demanding games for PS5 Pro, not Steam Deck.
I just remote, play them to Steam Deck OLED, sometimes.
I have, and always will be a fan of Nintendo (30+ years). I just wish the third party support offered more proper physical releases.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Latest Trailer Teases Bustling City Environment
I'm excited to see how it will look on my PS5 Pro with the Pro enhancements. Given Capcoms track record with Pro upgrades for RE, I'm sure it will look and run great!

Re: Mario Tennis On Switch 2 Has 38 Playable Characters – "The Most In Series History"
I felt burned buying the Mario Sports titles on Switch 1 at launch (Golf, Soccer, Tennis) because they felt incomplete and added characters and additional content as time went on.
So I'll wait and probably pick this up later on towards the end of the year around the holidays.
Re: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Demo - Switch And Switch 2 Performance Investigated
I'd like to have this on Switch 2. Especially since it runs at 60fps but unfortunately, since it's a game key card. I'll go for the PS5 version instead.
Re: Bloober Team Is Teasing Something Mysterious For February
After Silent Hill 2 and Cronos: The New Dawn. Bloober Team has my full attention! Unless it's digital only/game key card, then they can keep it.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For January & February 2026
Most of the games I want are on Game Key Cards (Dragon Quest VII, RE9, Yakuza Kiwami 3), so I'll be buying those for PS5 Pro instead.
However, I am looking forward to ACNH NSW2 Edition at upgrade price and Mario Tennis Fever.
Mabey the RE9 Pro Controller, if it's still available at launch.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th December)
PS5 Pro- GranBlue Fantasy Relink, Overcooked 2, THPS 1+2, Zombie Army 4
Switch 2- Mario Kart World, Overcooked 2, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Super Mario Galaxy
Steam Deck OLED- Chaos Head Noah, Fallout 3 GOTY Edition, Mad Max, Overcooked 2, Shenmue 2, THPS 1+2
Happy Holidays!
Re: Review: Stray Children (Switch) - A Surreal, Captivating, Undertale-Inspired RPG
I love the art style. Added to Steam wishlist to play on Steam Deck OLED. Bring a physical release to Switch 2 for me to buy.
Re: Cronos: The New Dawn Is Getting An Easy Difficulty Setting In Early 2026
An easy difficulty for an already easy game? Interesting.
Great option for those who need it.
I had no problem playing through Cronos on my PS5 Pro. I even used my Steam Deck OLED to force gyro aiming and my aim was on point playing on the TV and in portable mode.
Great game! I need to go back and get my Platinum.

Re: Resident Evil Fans Are Convinced Another Veteran Character Is In Requiem
If it ain't Wong, it's wrong.
Re: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Updates Planned For Switch Platforms
Give me the fancy flowing hair physics, higher resolution textures, lighting, gyro aiming, and a physical release. Then, I'll purchase for Switch 2.
I have Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on my PS5 Pro, Series X, & Steam Deck OLED. So i'm not missing out either way...
Re: CRKD Announces The 'Nitro Deck 2', Compatible With Switch And Switch 2

Re: Surprise! Capcom Is Bringing Pragmata To Switch 2, Demo Out Soon
Nice of Capcom to show continued support for Nintendo however, I cannot support game key cards. So I'll be picking this up for PS5 Pro instead.
The same goes for RE Requiem.
The amiibo looks cute!
Re: Video: Skyrim Still Isn't 60fps On Switch 2, But Here's How It Fares Against Switch 1
Still 30fps? That's terrible.
I guess Fallout 4 will be 30fps on Switch 2 also.
I'll stick with my vanilla Switch 1 version and play Skyrim on my Steam Deck OLED for my portable fix.
Re: Take Yooka-Replaylee For A Spin In This New Switch 2 Demo
30fps on Switch 2. Yeah, I'll be picking up a physical copy for PS5 and digitally on Steam Deck OLED. 60fps all the way!
Re: Community: It's Time To Rate Your Switch 1 & 2 Games Of The Year
Donkey Kong Bananza is easily my Switch 2 GOTY.
I haven't played that many Switch 1 games this year.
But I'd have to go with Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 for Switch 1 GOTY.
Re: Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! Brings A "New Retro FPS" Experience To Switch 2 Next Year
Looks cool! Proper physical release with gyro aiming on Switch 2? If not, I'll play on Steam Deck OLED instead.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Adding Free Fan-Designed Costume "Mid-December"
I'll keep my physical copies for PS5 & Switch from LRG sealed. Hopefully, Switch 2 receives a standard physical non LRG release this time...
Re: Talking Point: Six Months Since Launch, How Would You Rate Switch 2?
Decent start so far. I'd give it a 7/10
Pros- Bigger display and joy-cons with magnetic connection, Pro Controller 2, backwards compatibility with some performance improvements (RE 5 & 6, Revelations 1 & 2, Saints Row 3 & 4, ect), mouse mode, better Eshop browsing (no longer laggy), Switch 2 games look great (Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World) docked to my 4K OLED TV.
Cons- Game key cards, non OLED display, poor battery life, no VRR while docked, tiny thumb stick travel on joy-cons make handheld gaming less enjoyable, having to wait for more Switch 1 games to get upgraded (Xenoblade 1-3, X, please)

Re: Poll: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Out On Switch 2 And Switch This Week, Will You Be Getting It?
Metroid is cool, but i'm not the biggest fan. So I decided to wait on picking up a copy for now, and save my money to go towards the Steam Machine.
I still have yet to play through the entire Metroid Prime trilogy, so I should probably get to that first.
I'm happy for those of you who have waited so long for a brand new 3D Metroid game. Enjoy!
Re: Review: Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Switch) - Up There With Best-Ever Arcade Marvel Games
Another great beat em up to add to the collection! I'm in no rush to play it though, so I'll wait for the physical.
Re: NieR:Automata Finally Lands Switch 2 Compatibility Update
So it still runs at 30fps even on Switch 2?
I'll play it on my Steam Deck OLED then.
I suppose It's nice to have a physical copy for the collection at least...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd November)
PS5 Pro- Platinumed Ghost of Yōtei last night and Astro Bot this morning.
I might start Chronos The New Dawn tonight.
Switch 2- Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 arrived in the mail yesterday. I'll start Mario Galaxy 1, Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma, Overcooked 2 NSW2 Edition
Steam Deck OLED- Bioshock Remastered, Shenmue 2, Mad Max, Zombie Army 4 (horde mode)
Re: ICYMI: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Estimated Switch 2 And Switch File Size Revealed
File size is irrelevant since I'll be picking up a physical copy for Switch 2.
Since it looks like a Switch 1 game, I think I'll go for 1080p @ 120fps on my OLED TV with gyro aiming!
This will be my first 120fps game on Switch 2. I'm excited!
