Splatoon and Fire Emblem are ok, but not Robust 🤣

I suspect some of this pricing increase is priced in from the removable battery switch 2 model that will have to be developed to meet EU Nanny regulations.

@Druidsbrook I found Stein’s Gate to be an excellent Anime. Not a fast paced series but very thought-provoking.

Perhaps part 2 is already finished (the article on the layoffs didn’t mention it either way) and they didn’t need a full production team anymore? Sadly for those laid off.

Yes, ASAP. Thank you for the update.

Very strong showing from 3rd party developers. Many of the games shown to be coming out the first half of the year were games I envied PS5/Xbox owners for having (Indiana, Rebirth Elder Scrolls…) and the fact that they’re porting to the SW2 is a great sign. HOWEVER … Gearbox’s debacle with Borderlands 4 on the SW2 is the elephant in the room that makes me nervous.

Maybe Nintendo and Gearbox will get Borderlands 4 working on the Switch 1 before porting it over to the Switch 2😏. Or maybe we’ll just have to be happy with golf and wrestling. 😏

Not something I’d ever be interested in, but nice to see a lot of interest in anything Nintendo.

Mouse mode may end up being an unnecessary Nintendo boondoggle, but buying something without it might also be a mistake if it catches on. So I’ll wait and see.

Sorry, but a slide show, no matter how beautiful is still a slide show. If this were a turn based jrpg 30fps would be acceptable, but it’s not, so it’s not. Give the player an option to turn down the graphics and turn up the fps.

The author starts his review off by trying to convince the reader that 30fps is OK in an action dominated game. Sorry, not buying it. It’s 60 in other consoles for a reason, it’s an action game, not a sim life game. If you can’t work it to something better than 30 (40/50?) why bother.

Seriously if that’s all you have to complain about, it’s time for a real vacation.

@larausjarod Absolutely, chip makers have $ signs in their eyes knowing an artificial shortage would bring in big money.

To me, another issue that goes hand-in-hand with GKC is the lack of a mSD Express card greater then 1TB. The games are getting bigger and its impossible to fit everything, old and new, on a 1TB card (for me at lest).

Started at 256, then 512 and now 1Tb. Mind you I wanted a 1Tb from the beginning but until a few months ago they weren’t available. But I’m really looking forward to the 1.5Tb Express cards so I don’t have to split my games between them (which Nintendo does not make very easy to do because they don’t allow you to name your cards and keep a filing system that tells which game is on which card☹️)

SW2 port? Or just compatible, and how well does it play on the SW2? Should be a question any post SW2 launch review answers, I would think.

Will most definitely get, day one+. But only after a few reviews indicate positive SW2 compatibility. Would love it better if SW2 ported vrs SW2 compatible.

No haptic feed back? That’s almost a dealbreaker for me. I might put it on the “let’s see if the price goes down next year list.”

That's great news as I'm an Switch 1 Red Dead Redemption owner with a switch 2, now release RDR2 already.

@nuff64 I have have the controller issue as well, the joycons are physically connected and STILL they drop out sometimes! That shouldn’t happen.

@Navi same as it ever was.

Not enough launch titles and third party accessory developers are way behind (Micro SD Express cards over 256G and docks come to mind). Really good hardware that needs more support, makes me wonder if Nintendo was stingy on the developer kits?

I’ve read the problem is the Switch 2 dock needs 20Vdc when outputting video, not the 15v needed by the original Switch.

Well it’s my turn to lament on the lack of Switch 2 release games. Is this the worst new console game release in history? I guess part of the issue is the two-headed monster of compatibility with existing switch games means third party developers don’t feel a need to develop immediately. But, I also wonder on the slow pace of developers to upgrade existing games to Switch 2 native support. Did Nintendo issue enough developer kits?

My issue with "Key-Cards" is right now Micro-SD EX cards are crazy expensive (If you can find any 1TB cards at all) and you will NEED 1TB cards to download all the games that use "Key-Cards"

Inside job, of course.

Some GC games had support for WS if you had the component video cable (supper hard to find and expensive today). GC games on the Wii also support it. There are lists of GC game titles that support it online.

@GrizzledVeteran, Amen Brother, my first computer was a Ti99. This is the worst system launch, game wise, that I can remember. Its literally a hardware launch with the potential of more games in the future. Great hardware, no games.

My biggest complaint so far is the lack of NEW first and second party games at launch. This has to be the the most thread bare launch I've ever seen. And a few upscaled previous backward compatible releases don't cut it.
