Who cares about a physical release for a game that's been broken for over a year on other platforms, without any patches to fix it. I don't understand the praise on this one. Will the Switch 2 version not have any of these issues?

That sucks. Glad I have two physical copies and the game runs at a locked 60fps on Switch 2 now.

Nope. Just 256GB and 512GB micro sd express cards, I bought for my Switch 2 around launch. I don't buy digital Switch 2 or game key cards. So I have plenty of storage left over.

I buy the bigger storage file sized games (Final Fantasy VII Remake & Rebirth, Pragmata, RE Requiem, ect) for PS5 Pro. Where there are proper, physical releases, and I have 6TB of SSD space to work with.

$200 for a 1TB micro sd express doesn't seem like a bad deal. I paid $300 each for 1TB micro sd cards for Switch 1, back when those cards we're new.

A whole lot of disappointment with all of those future game key card releases. To me, the Summer Games Fest was so much better. My PS5 Pro/PS Portal combo will be put to a lot more use, in the coming months. And next year as well!

I'm looking forward to finally playing through Xenoblade 1 & 2 plus Torna, with the Switch 2 upgrades. Which have been in my backlog for years. At least they will keep me busy for a few hundred hours.

There are some Switch 2 exclusives to look forward to. But for the most part, my Switch 2 will continue to remain in it's case, powered off as usual.

I won't be buying those Game Key card releases for Switch 2 anyway. So it means nothing to me. They will probably be announced at the Nintendo Direct, for those who want it.

PS5 Pro/Portal - CRYSTAR, Dungeons of Hinterberg, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, NTE, We Love Katamari.

Steam Deck OLED - Hogwarts Legacy, Red Faction Guerilla Remarstered, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, Ys VIII

Switch 2 - Mario & Luigi Brothership, Xenoblade Chronicles X.

The first year for Switch 2 has been pretty underwhelming, for me so far. The screen is a downgrade from Switch OLED. I skip out on most third party games because of game key cards. The Joy-Cons while bigger and a bit more comfortable, could still use improvements between the tiny thumbstick travel and small face buttons.

I've had my Switch 2 since launch and only picked up four physical games throughout it's first year. All of the other game key card releases that i'm interested in, I buy for PS5. Sometimes, I go weeks without turning on my Switch 2 and just pick up my PS Portal or Steam Deck OLED, instead for my handheld gaming fix.

I don't regret my purchase, because I have a massive back catalog of Switch 1 games that can be played on the improved hardware and i know the exclusives that will interest me are coming. It's nice that Nintendo added handheld boost mode. The Switch 2 is snappy and responsive, which is a major improvement over the Switch 1 slow chugging interface.

The NES was my first console, and I've had every Nintendo home console and handheld device since then. Most of the first party exclusives released within it's first year. Just weren't for me and that's okay.

Switch 1 was my go to device. Not only for Nintendo exclusives, but for a lot of 3rd party releases as well. There was something special about being able to play home console quality games on a handheld device. Times have changed, and there are so many other options available to us.

While, the first year of Switch 2 has been average at best, to me. I'm looking forward to the future. It may no longer be my go to machine for 3rd party releases. But the Nintendo exclusives are the main reason why I always purchase a Nintendo console.

I was looking forward to playing through this again, preferably, on a handheld device. Before Dragon Quest XII.

I own this for Switch & PS4, but with no upgrade path for Switch 2 and a game key card release for the so called physical. I think I'll buy this on Steam to play on my Steam Deck OLED, instead. It's usually on sale for $20. That seems like a much better deal.

Hopefully, Dragon Quest XII comes to Switch 2 with a proper physical release.

With the joy cons thumbsticks that have very short travel distance, smaller face buttons, bumpers, and triggers. It could never compare to the Switch 2 pro controller, as far as comfort and more precise controls goes.

However, I really enjoy d-brands Kill Switch case and joy lock grips on my Switch 2 & Steam Deck OLED (case). Not only for protection, but it actually makes the Switch 2 comfortable to hold in handheld mode.

If I played using my joy cons in a grip style controller like this I would be interested. But I never use joy con controller grips.

I'm a split joy con player, and the joy lock grips make that experience so much better.
If you can look past their snarky attitude in the way they present their products, I highly recommend them.

A proper physical release, mouse mode, and gyro controls. I'm still waiting for that PS5 Pro version (not complete on disc) to drop down to a decent price. But I may have to pick this up for Switch 2, in the meantime.

The only problem is, I'd like to play this in handheld mode only on Switch 2, and those joy-con thumb sticks aren't good for precision while aiming...

Make space for the update only, because I'm going physical.

D-topia? The name of my Animal Crossing island. I may have to check this out.

PS5 Pro- A Little To The Left (doing daily to unlock the Platinum), Pragmata (will take up the majority of my weekend)

Capcom deserves praise for once again including amazing gyro controls to both Pragmata & RE Requiem. I hope the gyro support continues with future releases.

Steam Deck OLED- Dying Light, Hogwarts Legacy, RE6, RE Revelations 2 (Raid mode), Zombie Army 4 (horde mode)

Switch 2- Mario Wonder, RE Revelations 2 (Raid mode), Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch 2 Edition (got distracted by other games, so I haven't been playing it).

I'd gladly double dip. Game key card makes my decision easy to go with a physical copy for PS5 Pro instead.

Same as with RE Requiem. It sucks but at least I'm saving money...

@westman98 Mouse support is nice to know. Using the joycons after about 20 minutes in mouse mode, my hand would start to cramp. But now, with the dbrand joy lock grips, mouse mode is much more enjoyable. Thanks for the information.

Still don't know if the Switch 2 version has gyro.

I'll go with PS5 Pro (physical) and Steam Deck OLED. Gyro is a must for me! I'm glad to see it supports 800p. It will look amazing on the Decks OLED display!

If the Switch 2 version has gyro, I'll probably triple dip for another physical copy.

Added to my PlayStation, Steam & Xbox library for free. $20 on Switch...

@the_beaver I already played Indiana Jones day one via Game Pass (Series X).
I've had Tales of Arise for PS5 since day one. So those games do nothing for me.

Lego Batman looks good but not at that price. I'll wait for a sale on that one.

Like I said to the other person, if Switch 2 is your only or main way of playing games. Then, it's understandable why those releases would be exciting.

@PurpleG if you're a Switch 2 only owner, then I could see why Indiana Jones would be a big release to look forward to. But I also own a Series X and PS5 Pro, Indiana Jones has been available on those platforms for a while now.

@the_beaver What makes next month so crazy? 007 and Yoshi come to mind. I can't think of much else at the moment...

Pragmata physical for PS5 Pro.

Mouse P.I. for Hire. I'll wait for the physical release.

Slow month for me besides Pragmata...

New outfit just in time for my Platinum run of Fatal Frame 2 Remake (PS5 Pro).

Silent Hill f runs great on Steam Deck OLED. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it comes to Switch 2.

@iNightfarer Agreed. These horror games (most games in general) look terrible on Switch 2 in portable mode. Which is why my Switch 2 stays mostly docked to one of my OLED TV's.

If Switch 2 is your only way to enjoy these type of games, then it's understandable.

I'm interested in Amnesia: Rebirth, but I would much rather play it on PS5 Pro or Steam Deck OLED.

Switch 2 OLED can't come soon enough!

Yomawari vibes!

Ohh, another game key card for Switch 2? Well, Steam Deck OLED it is.

This will look much better on an OLED display in portable mode anyway.

Maybe, the PS5 will have a proper physical release.

Bring on Yomawari 3!

A Hat in Time
DOOM (2016)
Final Fantasy XII
Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe

Nice to know these games I own have been fixed for Switch 2.

Besides Doom (2016), unless it gets a Switch 2 upgrade. Which was amazing at the time it released on Switch. I can't go back to that now. With the option to play a much superior Steam version on my Deck OLED.

PS5 Pro- Fatal Frame 2, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Monster Hunter Stories 1, Suicide Squad.

Steam Deck OLED- Hogwarts Legacy, RE Revelations 2 (Raid mode), The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky.

Switch 2- RE Revelations 2 (Raid mode), Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch 2 Edition.

Easy pick-up for PS5 & Switch 2.

Still waiting on a physical release of Shenmue 1 & 2 collection for Switch 1/2.

Shenmue 1 & 2 were a major part of my childhood. Hopefully, we see Shenmue 4 someday.

Another stack of game key cards. Glorious! I'll stick to Playstation on this one.

I'm happy for you Switch 1/2 only players...

@Joe11 There is an achievement/trophy for beating the game without talking to the merchant.

PS5 Pro- Fatal Frame 2, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Monster Hunter Stories 1

Switch 2- Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Raid Mode), Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch 2 Edition

Steam Deck OLED- Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Raid Mode), RE 7, Rage, Fallout 3 GOTY, Black Mesa, Prototype

Physical for PS5 & Switch.
Digital for Steam Deck OLED (after a price drop)

Any Switch 2 box that doesn't say Game Key Card at the bottom or code in a box at the top of it is adorable!

I'm assuming this will have a proper physical release in the US. Day 1, if so.

As long as it's not a game key card/digital only. I'm all in. Yoshi games are so charming and fun to play.

Phenomenal game and very well deserved! I earned my Platinum yesterday (4 playthroughs/33 hours) and loved every minute I spent playing RE Requiem.

Looks stunning on PS5 Pro at 60fps with ray tracing and feels great at 120fps with ray tracing off. I love how well Capcom implemented the gyro this time around. My aim was on point, haha.

I'll double dip eventually, to play on my Steam Deck OLED. After a price drop.

Then triple dip a few years down the line for Switch 2, when Nintendo decides to release an OLED model.

No mouse mode, no gyro aiming, no physical release. I'll pass on this one.

I only played a few hours a Fallout 4, years ago. So, I'll stick with my vanilla GOTY copies on PS5 and Steam Deck OLED for now.

I have LeafGreen on cartridge, so FireRed it is.

Debating on whether I should play on Switch 2 or OLED. Leaning towards OLED to play exclusively in handheld mode, plus, the better battery life.

RE9 at night. Pokémon during the day. It's going to be a great week!

Damn, I should have waited. Now I have to double dip on the Switch 2 physical.

I picked up the Switch 1 physical copy a few months back on sale for $50. I thought Nintendo would only offer a digital upgrade for this game, but I was wrong. Oh well. At least I'll be able to keep my Switch 2 copy sealed.

Kinda sucks that it isn't a free upgrade since it's a newer release. But $5 isn't bad.

Xenoblade Chronicles 1-3 Switch 2 upgrades next, please.

Same as with Master Collection Vol. 1
Skip Switch 1/2 and pickup physical copy for PS5.

Purchase for Steam Deck OLED, after a sale for my portable fix.

@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.

@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.

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)

Glad I have my physical copy still sealed. I'll download it on Steam for my Steam Deck OLED.

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!

There is a demo on Steam. I'll check it out on the OLED.

@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.

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.

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

Added to Steam wish list. I'll check out the demo on my Steam Deck OLED and wait for a sale on this one.
