I got Switch 2 today. It is amazing. Such an improvement over Switch 1. I only play Switch 1 and 2 in handled mode and Switch 1 games look so much better on 2. I have not purchased any Switch 2 games but can't wait. I did purchase Zelda BOTW $10 upgrade. Will try that next

If it had a brand new Mario game, it would be different. Also, Nintendo has not announced any huge and big games for next year.

Just charge $10 more for games on memory cards. Meaning offer a discount to GKC adopters. And companies won't lose money on memory card editions. Every one wins, problem solved

Ultimate Marvel Alliance 3 was just ok. Very PS2 like graphics. And I loved the 1st two games

@John_Deacon Umm, I immigrated to United States as a child and had to learn English. Stop making assumptions about people. I am very much liberal but still think this was not worth a post.

A couple of great announcements for Switch 2, but overall very weak night when comparing announcements for Switch 2 to the other consoles.

Faster loading is always a big plus for me. The review does not mention how it looks in handheld mode from Switch 1 to Switch 2. I only play Switch in handheld mode.

Great month for sure

It doesn't say if there any improvements to graphics from Switch 1 or how it now compares to other consoles

Get ready for huge monthly subscription hikes if this goes through

I will take faster loading any day. PS5 spoiled me with that. Huge improvement in that for Switch 2 version

But how does it compare to other consoles like PS4?

Fantastic game. Highly recommended. Definitely better to experience it on Switch 2.

Blows my mind that some folks will be getting the inferior Switch 1 version just because of physical release. I would rather have the better Switch 2 version.

@Dang_69 Or they could just erase an older game on their memory card to make way for that new game. Not everyone keeps every single game on their memory storage.

I don't care about Pokemon but I don't see game key cards as an issue. Sony and Microsoft are going that way too. All 3 companies would only do digital purchases only if they could, but they want that physical storefront presence especially during Christmas present buying season. These game card releases are not for everyday gamers, but for clueless parents/relatives who want to put something under a tree. This is a perfect solution.

We don't need a Nintendo Direct for a movie trailer drop.

It is neat that the game is coming but do we really need a second 1 hour long direct on this one game?

Just focus on Sonic. He's the real star.

Unlike others here, I am looking forward to it.

Can you still play single player offline? I know that they can't have multiplayer forever but 2 years is ridiculous.

If the game is available on a game key card, people complain and claim to boycott that game. But when a game is available only digitally (not physical or game key card), several break ranks and purchase the game as evidenced by Silksong. I think that the game key card is more for brick and mortar store presence than anything else. More of an advertisement. Yeah, some games like PT might be taken off the digital store, but that is a small percentage. And I will be too busy playing Switch 5 or PS8 to notice.

@LastFootnote It does have to do with the other. Just pointing out how the physical game only people are never truly going to boycott something whether it is digital or key card if they really want to experience something (like Silksong).

I wonder as to how many of the people who are complaining about the game key cards went out and bought the digital version of Silksong.

I wonder how many of the people complaining about the key cards went and purchased the digital version of Silksong.

Can't wait to hear people complaining about key card releases after the Direct, even though many of those bought Silksong digitally.

Wish list:
New Mario 3D game
Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 remaster
NHL game
Read Dead Redemption 2
Microsoft games
Assassin Creed games

People blaming Cronos low sales on key cards should examine why Outlaws is selling well on the very same key cards.

How about none option?

Looks great in the video above.

It looks exactly the same to me in both screens. It is still a fun game.

A lot of trash games

This is what the partner showcase should have had. Highlight for me for sure.

Hollow Knight was good, but you would think it was the best thing since sliced bread. I will play Silksong when it comes out, but not in a rush like some here.

@KociolekDoSyta LOL. I kind of laughed when I read your arguement about no internet. I am sure that are some small scenarios of no internet, but it is not as hard to get these days. You can even access the internet on your Switch through your cell phone. Do you watch Netfilx or other streaming services at grandma's? Maybe it is a sign that grandma wants you to spend more time with her and not on your devices.

Stop pretending that you guys (gals) are collecting physical games for the future generations (like one of the letters talks about). If you have kids, they probably will be more interested in future generations console systems not the current ones. They might not even like video games. I have 2 grown kids. They both like the games that I am not interested in. And they play much less than I do. Your hoarder plan for future generations might just be yours and not theirs.

I have a PS5 for the big screen gaming but I love playing in handheld mode. I have Portal in addition to Switch but it ties me down to having to have a connection for streaming. Switch 2 would be perfect to bring those PS5 (or Xbox) games on the go. And before someone says Steam Deck, not interested in that.

I don't care if they are key cards or digital only. I just want this whole list of games to come over, maybe I would also love to see NHL

@Razzy Unfortunately, the music performers/bands usually want tons of money for their songs to be used in games. Might be more greed from them than from the game maker (Rockstar).

Switch 2 version will most likely have better performance, graphics and quicker loading times. Well worth it even if it is a key card release.

Key card is not an issue for me. I will either get it digitally or on key card. People settling on an inferior Switch 1 version just because it is a key card just blows my mind.

This was great. In line with what I expected for an Indie Showcase. Partner Direct was a disappointment because I expected more AAA games from that one (more games like Cyberpunk 2077 to show off Switch 2 capabilities). So this is a good turnaround.

This game was the highlight for me from the Showcase. Looking forward to it.

I love how people will allegedly refuse to buy games. Guess what, people like me will continue to buy and play digital and key card games. You guys can sit on the sidelines and watch people like me continue to play and enjoy games. See how long this self ban lasts.

I hope that it's for unannounced games, not games we already know about like Silksong. I look forward to it but don't need a direct for it.

I participated in it and indicated that I have preference for digital over physical and that I don't mind key cards. But that sales impact my puurchase decisions the most

@BrokenCiv Some of us don't like to play on PC. I have a PC, but all my video gaming has been on consoles and various handhelds for over 3 decades now. I played on PS4, but I would love to play Shadow games on the go on Switch 2.

The EA ones should be remastered in one collection, but knowing EA (not to mention licensing issues), this will never happen. It would be awesome to see Shadow of Mordor on Switch 2.
