@Jigu Yeah I was pondering on what the M could mean in Project M, and honestly it’s either got to be related to Eternal Darkness or Metroid given the particular phrase “could only exist on Nintendo hardware”, so it’s gotta be some Nintendo IP I would assume. Those two games fit best, with Zelda also being a possibility. Maybe Project M is Project Majora….. Majora would lend itself very well to horror. So yeah, either Mantarok, Majora, or Metroid are the most likely meanings behind M.
I also don’t believe this latest teaser is related to Project M, but more likely Onyx: Dark Grip.
Could be Eternal Darkness 2 if it’s related to Project M. The M in that could stand for Maximillian Roivas or Mantorok.
Apparently though Bloober Team has registered a new IP with the EUIPO called “Onyx: The Dark Grip”. So it’s probably related to that instead of project M.
Still holding out some hope for Oblivion Remaster, RDR2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Outer Worlds Spacers Choice and OW2, Avowed, Pillars of Eternity 2, and maybe some FO3/NV as well.
I love my wishlist abilities, but man they tempt me every time I get email notifications of sales. Steam has gotten me the same way. I’m gonna have to start selling kidneys…. 🤣
@Picola-Wicola Not a problem! Yeah when I learned to just take days as chill as possible and not worry about todo lists and stuff it made it a lot more enjoyable. Ended up loving the game! The first month is def a bit overwhelming, but unlike other titles in the genre nothing absolutely has to be done by any given time besides watering if you’re gardening. Which you don’t really have to worry about much the first year. Just focus on fishing, exploring, building friendships and mining. That’ll be enough to get you by.
Only worry about the garden aspect when you’re ready to tackle the community center packages….. otherwise it’s whatever.
End game you don’t have to garden if you don’t want, or you can automate the whole process basically. I always preferred just focusing on animals instead of planting and watering.
@Picola-Wicola I’m the same way. Large reason I never finished Majora’s Mask and the only reason I got into Dead Rising was finding out new game+ existed so I could just come to a fresh playthrough with a max level char and whoop on everything.
With Stardew it seems over whelming at first, so much to do with so little time. But it’s about managing that time, you don’t have to do everything every day. I suggest starting maybe 2 garden areas that are 5x5 and just focus on those two for the start. Then I go talk to the towns folk. On the day when the fishing shack opens I tend my gardens then make a beeline there. From that moment on it becomes Fishdew Valley for a while as that’ll be your best income.
On rainy days you don’t have to water, so watch the tv every morning then when you know a rainy day is coming prep to head to the mines that day. If you want earlier access to the mines materials pick the mountain farm, you can mine right in your own yard that way.
Once you can grow coffee beans make a bunch of coffee. Until then you can use the proceeds from fishing to buy coffee from the tavern. It’ll help you zip about quickly. I usually would buy 2 salads and 1 coffee every day or so and stock them up for mining trips, longer fishing excursions, or running around town doing odd jobs….
Game doesn’t really open up for you until around later summer or Fall. By that time you should have a bunch of tools upgraded and maybe even sprinklers in place to auto water.
Save stone, use it to build ladders to make descending the mine much quicker. And until you get a much better pickax it’s faster to just cherry bomb your way around the mine.
@johnedwin I can run BG3 on the Steam Deck in a playable fashion, yet Star Wars Outlaws I cannot without extensive file tweaking and then it looks like a Ps1 game…. The S2 can handle BG3 that I’m sure of…. Whether Larian or the publisher can be convinced to do so is another matter. I think CRPGs, Turn Based, and Tactical RPGs sell well on switch systems but I’m not positive if it’s enough to convince a publisher to make a porting effort
This Divinity however, depends on the engine it’s running and if it’s a simple job to port or not.
Devs just discovered that they can make a game in Unreal 5, and use a simple feature inside Unreal 5 to downgrade to Unreal 4 if needed, which runs better on most systems currently. U5 still needs some optimization to run across all systems flawlessly.
This series has been a fun romp while I was waiting for Tokyo Extreme Racer to make a come back, and thankfully it did. Was playing the early access version on Steam a few months back, so nice! Truly hope that comes to Switch 2 as well.
To everyone saying the “upgrade” is 53gb to the original 12-15, you’re missing something. 53gb is the WHOLE game.
If you have a physical copy, like I have, then it requires you to download an entirely separate game, aka the S2 version. It does NOT actually upgrade the S1 version.
It works just like Hogwarts basically, there’s an S1 version of the game and a separate S2 version. You can have both installed at once if you like.
I’m going to assume just like Hogwarts, this also applies to the digital version of Skyrim on S1.
I followed another posters guide on how to update the physical cart version, and afterwards removed everything S1 version related to free up space, chucked the cart in my bag, and can play Skyrim fully digitally now.
It’s odd to see this on switch as there haven’t been as many instances of it, but this works just like when you have a Series X or Ps5 and can choose to install a previous generation version or current gen version. The only really issue is getting your free upgrade if you have the physical cart + anniversary dlc. In which case just eject the anniversary dlc virtual cart - then boot regular Skyrim and select the S2 version now available link in the main screen.
@Res462 can confirm. I’ve got Skyrim S1 physical, with the S1 Anniversary upgrade.
Had to eject the virtual card for the Anniversary dlc, then boot Skyrim, and on the main menu you get a notification saying “S2 version now available, press Y for more info”. That’ll take you to the eShop page that grants you 100% off the S2 full anniversary digital copy. It’s a meaty 53gb download. After that you can remove your S1 Skyrim cart and boot the digital S2 version.
@Lizuka Thanks for posting the mini review there, I’ve been on the fence about this, but I enjoyed Rain Code and the first Danganronpa. Still have yet to get to D2/3 or Hundred Line, but if this is better than Rain Code I’ll surely enjoy then!
@Gamebits yeah possibly. Also some games I’ve noticed don’t get patched to fix an issue so much as the OS/S1 emu software gets adjusted to accommodate. Wish I could remember off the top of my head but I’ve had a couple that went from not working to working without needing a direct update to the game. Timespinners may have fallen under that banner. Either way I’m happy to be able to enjoy it now!
@The_Nintendo_Pedant As for the Tv, you can bet that Nintendo or the third party tv would say “well it’s not our fault the video source isn’t displaying, it’s theirs”. Actually had that happen when I’d bought a cheap replacement dvd player, and the hdmi port was jank on it. Called the tech support number on the back and they blamed everything from the HDMI cable to the tv…. Oy. Ended up digging the receipt out and just returning to Walmart to grab a Samsung blu ray player and call it a day. (Tv was Samsung, so if I had to call again it would be one of their products faults! 🤣)
As for corps doing that, oh I’m sure they do. It’s not as strongly suggested as it was in the past however. If you could go back to the 80s and 90s you’d find where every electronics company would have it printed on the box “Works best with our own brand accessories” and such. Sony would advertise that their VHS players / DVD players worked best with their TVs, Nintendo said use their controllers, etc. And they all said use the supplied cables to connect to your tv.
There’s plenty more examples - a lot found on various food packaging and stuff. Words meant to excite or instill a sense of “it’s the best version” when it truly means very little if anything.
A lot of the companies have dialed back what they say on packaging when it comes to electronics and compatibility as it was very anti-consumer, and close to monopolistic on their part. Look at Apple and IPhones now. Use to be they wouldn’t let you connect to anything that wasn’t an Apple product or pc. Nowdays you can buy any Bluetooth printers and connect to it.
Nintendo does/did suggest using Samsung Express Micro SDs on the Switch 2, and this time the biggest offering was a GameStop brand (Lexar) 1TB….. so I went with that. So far it’s held up, and the only reason I opted for it was the size and because it’s storage but doesn’t contain game saves. From what I understand though it’s ever so slightly slower than the Sandisk brand. Why Sandisk didn’t think to offer 1TB at launch is beyond me.
I will say also, buy direct for memory cards now days. Either direct from the maker, or go into a store. Don’t order from Amazon or other online outlets. There’s so many fake memory cards circulating out there saying they’re 1-2TB for $20-30 and they end up being a bios hacked 16gb card that instantly corrupts the moment you go over 16gb….
@The_Nintendo_Pedant I’ve had I think 3-4 problems with third party devices….
First back in NES days I’d gotten a third party controller that crapped out long before my official ones did.
Had 2 third party GameCube mem cards corrupt within a month of using em.. that really sucked..:
I bought a cooling kit for the 360, but it actually caused it to overheat faster (was an inline fan that attached to the back and drew extra power through the socket)……
That might be the only cases I had with third party stuff for sure. Otherwise it’s mostly been fine. Def wouldn’t make the mistake of replacing an important piece of my gaming kit with a third party thing again like I did with the memory cards however. Ugh
Some people didn’t grow up in the NES days and it shows. 🤣
At least these probs can be fixed with updates and such….. back then it was HIGHLY recommended you stick with first party accessories due to compatibility issues as well as quality issues.
I do get needing/wanting to save money…. Or if a design is just a better fit for your setup….. but the risk is on the purchaser, not Nintendo’s end, for buying such things. Always been that way.
One thing to note is you run into the problem of “well that’s not our fault, it’s their fault” and getting a royal run around when it comes to support for your products if you don’t use official or licensed goods. The reason to do so is so that it truly is their fault should problems arise, and they can’t just point fingers.
@Warioware It was a rumor going around earlier this year. Think I saw it on a reddit forum. Nier Auto sold really well on S1 and SE loves to support Nintendo when possible. So even as a rumor it made sense, but there’s nothing concrete on it yet.
It may have been a data leak or something…. Wish I had the source or can even remember where I saw it.
The only other thing I remember around that time was Octopath Zero wasn’t announced yet and I don’t think the FF1-6 Remasters were announced for S1 at the time, so I believe it was in a data chunk regarding those
Shame about Nier, glad I kept my OLED just in case.
Should get fixed at some point though, heard Nier Replicant 1.2 was coming to Switch 2 and that should bring with it support for Automata on Switch 2 if Nintendo hasn’t ironed it out themselves first.
Wow this is a game I’ve not heard in years. Originally played it on Saturn and remember enjoying it a lot at the time. Was also big into fighting games then too, so may have some rose tinted glasses.
Love its free for existing owners! This is one game I’ve needed to put more time into. Only just scratched the surface with like 30-45 mins put into it.
Also for any potential Bethesda / MS / Obsidian reps that might see this…. If FO4AE sells well on Switch 2 can we please for the love of god get Avowed, Outer Worlds Spacers Choice, Outer Worlds 2, Fallout 3&NV, and Pillars 2. Def need more love from those studios!
@MattmanForever I’d heard that next Gen update wrecked a lot of stuff for all systems, but especially on pc/steam deck at the time. Shame they haven’t fixed the issues on deck, though there’s probably a rollback patch or mod that fixes the issues. One big thing I do love about the Steam deck, there’s usually a fix for whatever problem, and usually well before official means - which particularly works out for Bethesda games. 🤣
@Discostew This explains why it says it was gonna take over an hour to download! 🤣 Thought my internet was being crappy.
Two things I wish Switch 1&2 would have… an actual file size when downloading not just a meter and percent…. And a fricking download/update history. Hate opening my switch just to see “blah blah downloaded, and 5 other things”
Not every Devolver game speaks to me, but those that have are truly great games. I’ve yet to find one that was bad or I didn’t like out of those I’ve bought. Their games are seriously good enough to pique my interest in picking up games I’ve not really been interested in like Ape Out or Olli.
Edit - Apparently I own 24 Devolver games on Switch. 👍
I really want this, but at the same time, I’ve got D7 complete S1 version…. I’m gonna hazard a guess there won’t be any discount whatsoever if I own that version too, which sucks massively.
Yeah it sucks, but I’ve been saying it to my friend for the last few years. Prep for a digital only future, because we’ve been hitting transfer bottlenecks that I doubt will get solved any time soon. And as games expand exponentially in storage and transfer requirements it’s only going to get worse.
Unfortunately even solid state drives are just a stop gap to the end, which will be a cloud only future. Which really sucks as someone who lives in a rural community with limited internet speeds.
But between the necessity for processing capabilities and piracy, eventually we’ll see that future….. blah.
I loved Witcher 3, and expected great things of Cyberpunk. Much like Witcher 3 it started out really slowly, and 10+ hours in I wasn’t sure if I was vibing with it or not… now I’m near end game - just have to meet with Hanako for main story, and halfway through Phantom Liberty, and I honestly can’t wait to start another play through. It’s been a long while since a game has made me excited enough to want to do that. Probably Fallout 3 or Mass Effect…..
Maaaaan I have been looking forward to this for the past 2 weeks…. So annoying. Still grateful it’s coming and they’re committed to a better experience, but still annoyed. Ugh.
I was one of the lucky/unlucky few to have a virtual boy and some games when it released. Unfortunately it caused me wicked headaches and vertigo… (even current VR does this tho) so it wasn’t enjoyable to me. Gonna pass on this, but nifty for those that want to check it out / enjoy it!
Never got the first game, but color me intrigued. I do wish when they did these things they’d port the originals alongside for those of us who missed out!

Honestly all these S2 upgrades (minus Skyrim) have felt like Christmas presents lately. Skyrim will too once it’s ironed out.

One big thing I do love about the Steam deck, there’s usually a fix for whatever problem, and usually well before official means - which particularly works out for Bethesda games. 🤣
Re: Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Brings The Apocalypse To Switch 2 In 2026
Still holding out hope for Fallout 3 and NV on Switch / Switch 2, but will def pick this up. Why not, quad dip here we come!
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Lands Another Update On Switch 2, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Discostew This explains why it says it was gonna take over an hour to download! 🤣 Thought my internet was being crappy.
Two things I wish Switch 1&2 would have… an actual file size when downloading not just a meter and percent…. And a fricking download/update history. Hate opening my switch just to see “blah blah downloaded, and 5 other things”
“What 5 other things dang it!!?!?”
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Increases Switch 2 Production To 25 Million Units For Year 1
Ok Nintendo you’re making a ton of money, now toss Eternal Darkness on the NSO+ service, and make a sequel. Sheesh. 🤣
Re: Devolver's Awesome New Skating Game Lands On Switch 2 This December
Not every Devolver game speaks to me, but those that have are truly great games. I’ve yet to find one that was bad or I didn’t like out of those I’ve bought. Their games are seriously good enough to pique my interest in picking up games I’ve not really been interested in like Ape Out or Olli.
Edit - Apparently I own 24 Devolver games on Switch. 👍
Re: FuturLab's PowerWash Simulator 2 Gets A Switch 2 Release Date
I still need to get back to PW1, but I’ll def be picking this up! The co-op / game share alone is worth it for me and the kiddos
Re: Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 Port For Switch 2 Really Does "Exist", It's Claimed
Would def get this again to have it portable. Love what I’ve experienced of it so far
Re: Review: Disgaea 7 Complete (Switch 2) - A Definitive Return For This Tactical RPG Giant
I really want this, but at the same time, I’ve got D7 complete S1 version…. I’m gonna hazard a guess there won’t be any discount whatsoever if I own that version too, which sucks massively.
Re: Poll: Will You Play Resident Evil Requiem In First-Person Or Third-Person?
I’m going to try both. But likely third person as first person is more likely to cause me headaches/motion sickness
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Director Highlights The Speed Problem With Switch 2 Game Cards
Yeah it sucks, but I’ve been saying it to my friend for the last few years. Prep for a digital only future, because we’ve been hitting transfer bottlenecks that I doubt will get solved any time soon. And as games expand exponentially in storage and transfer requirements it’s only going to get worse.
Unfortunately even solid state drives are just a stop gap to the end, which will be a cloud only future. Which really sucks as someone who lives in a rural community with limited internet speeds.
But between the necessity for processing capabilities and piracy, eventually we’ll see that future….. blah.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Trailer Highlights The Switch 2's Remarkable Versatility
I loved Witcher 3, and expected great things of Cyberpunk. Much like Witcher 3 it started out really slowly, and 10+ hours in I wasn’t sure if I was vibing with it or not… now I’m near end game - just have to meet with Hanako for main story, and halfway through Phantom Liberty, and I honestly can’t wait to start another play through. It’s been a long while since a game has made me excited enough to want to do that. Probably Fallout 3 or Mass Effect…..
Re: Borderlands 4 Has Been Delayed For Switch 2, Digital Pre-Orders Cancelled
Maaaaan I have been looking forward to this for the past 2 weeks…. So annoying. Still grateful it’s coming and they’re committed to a better experience, but still annoyed. Ugh.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
I was one of the lucky/unlucky few to have a virtual boy and some games when it released. Unfortunately it caused me wicked headaches and vertigo… (even current VR does this tho) so it wasn’t enjoyable to me. Gonna pass on this, but nifty for those that want to check it out / enjoy it!
Re: Pre-Orders For 'Simon The Sorcerer Origins' Open, Featuring Chris Barrie & Rick Astley
Never got the first game, but color me intrigued. I do wish when they did these things they’d port the originals alongside for those of us who missed out!
