Nintendo still doesn't get it. This subject is like a hydra. Cut one head, several more appear. See how many forks they are of the banned Switch emulators. If you want you can start playing illegaly Mario Odyssey on PC in 5 minutes just by using Google.

They win battles, but the war against the internet and preservation is unwinnable. So much wasted money on lawyers.

They did it at last. Amazing news, I can’t imagine going back to a non VRR display after 10+ years gaming with it.

I was going to wait the OLED revision but man, I’ll have to dip.

Crazy that no one has yet tested if the screen is the rumored new IPS panel with faster response times

Can any third party rival Capcom at this point acclaim/amount of releases? I think not.

Like I get it on NS2, but why is it launching on PC like something new? Didn't we get a remaster already with a full ray tracing suite?

Love reading these cultist comments. Some dudes truly worship a corporation

I, on the other hand, am glad we have options. Hardware emulation is technically not illegal provided you dupe your own games, and most EU countries, piracy is legal for personal use.

I love my OLED NS, but when I hook it to a 4K OLED games just looks ass, no way around it. That feeling when I can send my save files from ToTK to my PC and keep playing 4K60fps, is something wonderful. Also way above the capabilities of a NS2 and that screen should be banned.

We all know this isn't a 9/10, writer included. But it has the Mario name in it so...yeah.

@Dee123

That orange bro is just doing what higher orange juice powers tell him to do. It does not matter.

It’s about time

Best time ever to mod it then as firmware updates will be very rare after that and not needed at all for newer games.

Let me tell you, a modded Switch OLED is the best console I've owned and the second best gaming experience after PC.

The things it can do man, and I don't even condone piracy.

Full pricing on whats otherwise free when you upgrade your graphics card on PC.

You vote with you wallets lads. Extreme pass.

@JHDK

NS2 is in danger always, but NS is now not on the radar with updates anymore, after Metroid Prime 4 I doubt we will ever see a game again that requires new firmware, so we are way safer.

Makes sense, the geothermal valley hub area is notoriously demanding, back in the days it crushed my Vega 64 GPU.

I suspect they would have to go like 240p with DLSS but at that point, even Nvidia's amazing technology is just not enough.

This + a 15'6 or 13'3 OLED portable monitor is some really good gaming.

Edit: Yeah, got it.

Even Mini-LED would be better than what we have now but at this point, just give us a panel that has decent response times.

The blur in something like Silksong at 120fps is 2013 LCD monitor tier…

Literally the only reason I don’t own a NS2 is that screen.

I will own the biggest capacity there is once we can do magic on the NS2 :]

I still wish we had a hardcore difficulty. It's either too easy on Standard or a meme on Insanity where you almost can't finish the inital asylum section with Grace without unlockable NG+ content, which makes it boring.

Professional in RE4 or Madhouse in RE7 were so, so much better.

80 bucks lol
At that cash just grab a Switch 2 Pro controller bro

My 8bitDo dongle for the original Switch was like $20

What now, RAM prices affecting dongles too?😂

A joke in my eyes.

9/10

As a fan of horror, action adventures, souls-likes and obviously a 90’s kid that spent countless nights late playing OOT, I almost couldn’t ask for more.

For total perfection it just needed 1-2 extra games that I like.

Flexibility? Sure.
Creativity? Oh fk off

Wish they added a hardcore difficulty.
It’s either a breeze on standard or medieval torture on insanity (Rhodes Hill Grace).
Something in between would’ve been nice.

This is incredible news. The only reason I could swallow the original switch res was with a heavy overclocking and forcing docked in handheld mode...this is basically that but much easier.

Well done, Nintendo.

5.5h in, it’s a 9/10 so far.

Exceptional level design that makes the rather linear castle Dimitrecu look so mid. It’s a big step above Village for the Grace sections.

Haven’t played much of Leon yet, but I think it’s way too hectic and RE6 like, I hope his gameplay slows down a little bit further away.

Audio, graphics (with RT and no film grain mod) look incredible on PC and can’t wait to get in on NS2 on a discount.

Crazy to see HK actually winning. There's no contest here for me, Silksong is the superior experience in every single scenario.

Played it on PC and it looks stunning. Debating where to get it now but probably PC and Switch 2 on a very steep discount in 1-2 years.

There’s no campaign here, its an utter masterpiece.

Give me that OLED model so I can finally buy it.

Meanwhile here I am waiting for permadeath or something like AKUMU.

I have nothing in general against E33, but winning best RPG over Kingdome Come 2 is a blasphemy. Just shows how these reviewers play only what the mainstream tells them to.

I'm running it 720p native (overclocking) on an OLED model and it has dethroned Luigi's Mansion 3 for me. Early PS4 graphics.

@the_beaver

No, you keep making a fool of yourself. If Nintendo tells you the earth is flat, will you eat that?
I gave you objectives technicalities that a panel MUST have to properly show HDR. Again, if you support something but you can’t physically show it in action, are you supporting it? Answer me honestly.

Apple 20$ EarPods support 24/196 High Res Lossless. Don’t they?

@the_beaver

So do, 150$ IPS monitors. Support is one thing, having the actual physical capabilities to properly display HDR, like local or per pixel dimming, is a different story.

Don’t wrong me if you lack knowledge. And you do.

´´This also lacks the (excellent) HDR support of the NS2 Edition.´´

This only applies to the docked experience on NS2 as that screen is incapable of proper HDR, so the NS OLED version will definitely have the punchier picture when playing portably.

81 on Meta is underwhelming for the standards of this franchise. Will still play it but it’s obvious this will have nothing on Dread.

Picture quality is on point. Now to just handle a steady 30fps experience.

The Netflix adaptation would’ve looked vastly different. Thank god not everything is dominated by Hollywood.

@Friendly

Let’s see:

• I play lots of horror and dark games, IPS cannot go low enough in brightness and dark scenes look grey. On the OLED the pixels turn of and it looks perfect
• Response times are objectively much worse. It’s especially bothersome in darkish 2D side scrollers like Silksong. You see ghosting because the panel can’t keep up
• Contrast is objectively worse and things don’t “pop up” as much as on the OLED
• Overall brightness is inferior
  The only advantage is 1080p, in everything else, it’s a worse screen, both objectively and subjectively.

Plus my NS OLED is overclocked and performs much better than a stock unit. Absolutely no need until we get a proper revision.

I was about to, then I saw the display in person.

Yeah, coming from the NS OLED, I can’t go back to crappy IPS panels. But this way I’ll be much more hyped once more games come out along with the NS2 OLED revision, which is inevitable.

My 20 bucks Gamersir has hall-effect sticks, efectively being almost impossible to drift.

This is over 4x that and has regular stick we've had with the OG Pro controller from 8.5 years ago.

Well.

Contrary to most, I never found her performance good in RE VIII.
She always seemed to overreact like a spoiled child that didn’t get a brand new car from rich parents at 16yo. Just mindlessly screaming and trying too hard.

Heisenberg was infinitely the better antagonist.

@topsekret

Right, I should apologize to X360 devs.
Anyway, their cult members will buy anything.

It went from a Xbox 360 game to a Xbox 360 remaster.
EVOLUTION

A thousand bucks for IPS without micro dimming should be actually illegal in 2025.
Tolerable on the NS2, but that costs less than half.

Not the best candidate for that greyish IPS with backlight bleed, but more games the better in the end.

I did…on Wii at release price. Now again on my enchanted Switch OLED…in a “particular” way.

60h in, it cracked my overall top 10 and is the best indie I've played.

I absolutely agree. People are just lazy and want everything to be handed to them.

There was a mob rush room in The Citadel I had no chances of winning. So I just kept exploring, upgraded my tools, my masks, my damage output and the amount of silk I could carry. Went there again after 5-7 hours and demolished all the enemies.

Instead of trying 100x over, just keep going and come back later. It really works.

Super Mario Galakshi.

About 25 hours in, I can confidently say this is my favourite indie game of all times.
