Can’t wait to play RE9 although I bought the bundle and haven’t played 7 or 8 so it will be a while before get to 9. Here’s hoping we get ports of 2-4 remakes too!
@dskatter a quick google search brings up BOTW/TOTK, the Witcher 3, mortal combat 11 and 1, Lego Star Wars, pokemon arceus as well as violet/scarlet, monster hunter rise and on and on. But whatever man
@dskatter well I may be out of the loop but it seems much more noticeable than the switch 1. To me anyways. Skyrim 60FPS mode is blurry in handheld and sharp and crisp in docked mode. AC Shadows has major graphics differences between docked and handheld. If IRC many switch 1 games performed WORSE docked. I could be wrong though.
Well I already pre-ordered fallout 4 and the resident evil 3 pack. Why not throw a Pokémon game in there as well! Turning into an expensive week! But definitely an exciting one for gaming.
Sooooo basically now you can see the game in 30FPS or you can have blurry visuals at 60FPS. Good job Bethesda! I put it back in quality mode because the visuals are terrible at 60FPS
I only bought it because I got it for $40. Played thru it once. Will more than likely never play it again. Meanwhile I’m itching for another run of Dread and Prime remastered.
I managed to pick up the game for $40 because of GameStop. With all the bad press around the game I wouldn’t have paid $70 for it. Upon playing it I found it to be…good! Not great. But good. And it’s the first game I sat down to 100% in a while because it felt manageable. 16 hours 100%. So to me it I’m learning more and more to ignore the online ranting. I’d say the 78 on metacritic is a good score. And it’s not a bad thing. Is the game genre changing? No. Was it good. Yeah. Was it worth $70. That’s a deeper topic.
Best Buy, Amazon, target and Walmart all had the Mario kart bundle for $450 for a while there so…yeah there was a console discount during the holidays….guess they missed that?
If I didn’t already have the physical I would’ve jumped on it. Still there’s some amazing games for cheap right now. Gonna pick up Kingdom Come for $5 and maybe a few others
Just picked up 4 switch 2 games and 1 switch 1 game in GameStop’s latest sale. All 4 switch 2 games are key card games. I also picked up a 512GB Microsd express card which made a massive difference. I think the issue going forward is going to be more of making the memory less expensive more so than the key cards. And I fully agree. Every other platform requires games be downloaded. I also find it funny how people are freaking out about game size. This game is 100GB on steam. It’s just the way of the world at this point.
Pretty terrible the input lag and watching as textures pop in. But the game is pretty in general and whatever it was free. I went in to just play test it and ended up playing for several hours lol
Personally been enjoying all these surprise free switch 2 upgrades. Now all I need is to pick up fallout 4 early next year. And fingers crossed for Witcher 3 upgrade and RDR2.
Pokémon Z-A switch 2 edition is playable on both consoles. Glad to see they did the same here. It will be interesting to pop into my switch lite and check the difference.
Again for me I’ll most likely be keeping to switch 2 exclusives and getting 3rd party games on my ROG ALLY X.
The switch tax in full effect. Got wild hearts on steam for $7 ($50 switch 2) Cyberpunk complete for $24 ($70). Final fantasy remake intergrade for $24 ($40). I understand not everyone has that ability so this is cool but not for me.
I have no desire to play this. I doubt if I will pick it up even on sale. But my kids and I still play Mario kart world on a weekly basis. It’s good to have competition so keep trying sega but yeah no thanks.
Honestly with 2 portable gaming consoles, a switch 2 and a ROG ally X, I’m really starting to prefer digital in general. My switch 2 case only carries 9 cards. So I’m constantly having to decide which games I want to take with me. The rest of my physical games sit on my desk at home. Those games would more likely get played if they were digitally on my system.
Having just beat the last judge last night I feel your pain. I fought him for 3 nights straight after work lol. And then I finally did beat him…and he killed me with his death explosion…and somewhere in the wind I could hear the game developers laughing…
So for me personally I understand physical media for preservation is critical. Also having an electronic back up is critical.
But honestly the older I get the more I like digital. I have had more than one occasion where I’ve been on a trip and really wanted to play a certain game but crap I forgot to pack it.
I have a ROG ALLY X and have 2.5TB of games on it. (Which by the way no one in the steam deck crowd is complaining about the lack of physical media). I have a 256GB express card in my switch 2. And honestly. I’m getting tired of taking games in and out. Being able to just click on a game and play it is super convenient. I will likely never buy key cards and just purchase a digital copy instead.
Some day I will look back and be glad I have a decent sized library of physical switch/2 games but right now I’m happy to have a digital library. I will still get 1st party Nintendo games physical but other than that I’m ok with digital.
I get that digital can be taken away and that should change but otherwise I’m happy with my set up.

Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade
This is starting to become an interesting trend with the switch 2. Lots of games performing better in docked mode than handheld…

Red Dead Redemption 2. Some Sony games would be cool. Lots of slightly older ports I wouldn’t mind seeing. And a release date for Fallout 4.

For those complaining about file size. It is 90-95GB PS5 and steam. Rebirth is around 150GB. So might as well get used to it.

Re: Mini Review: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Now A Legit Contender For Mario's Karting Crown
Regardless of how good the game is it sold 1 million copies its first month. Across multiple consoles.
Mario kart world sold over 5 million copies its first month. On 1 console.
I don’t see how this game will ever be competition for Mario kart

Re: Video: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Official Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2, Xbox, PS5, PC)
@Discostew yes but they will go on sale less often on the eshop and never as low as you can get them on PC
