@zockermiller yea of course. I just bought Raidou HD on Switch 1 even though I own a Switch 2

@zockermiller its also a free upgrade from Switch 1 to 2 so no real reason not to just buy the Switch 1 version physically

@Bizzyb its not like Cyberpunk ran that much better in terms of resolution and framerate but I get what you mean. (And like you said its just UE5 lmao)

@Bizzyb look at the comparsion. Switch 1 basically looks like a different game. Switch 2 Version is still quite comparable to the ps5 version visually on the other hand. They could've maybe just done the Switch 1 vers higher res and higher framerate on Switch 2 tho if they really wanted I guess.

@Nintendo4Sonic I really don't think Shadow Generations is any less automated than SA2. In fact if you took the boost away and make the base speed somewhat faster the levels would work pretty good as SA2 levels.

@Blast16 I mean both Switch and Wii U didn't have great third party support in the months after launch, but probably for different reasons than Switch 2 lmao.

@Blast16 Its not like most consoles launch with a ton of exclusive first party games. Most Nintendo systems only launch with 3 at most. And it gets worse when you look at original Japanese launch line ups instead of the beefed up US/EU ones from being delayed.

@Suketoudara Switch 1 games almost always specify if they require a download on the front cover. And just because a patch exists doesn't mean you have to download it.

Why did these type of comparsions always use composite video? They do know all 4 consoles from that generation are capable of much higher quality video, right? (I guess the publishers wouldn't really want a more fair comparsion though.)

Taking some inspiration from the Playdate I see

This is what we've all been waiting for from Nintendo.

Awesome for Digital Foundry. Anyways inb4 all the hate comments for them for stupid fanboy sh*t.

Yea this game looks great. Hope the physical release isn't too far behind.

@ShieldHero any confirmed censorship of games in there?

@Samalik believe or not HD 2d games are quite a bit better on higher end hardware. They tend to hover around the 720p 30 range on Switch docked with effects that don't look as good. Not that they're unplayable or anything, but they are more demanding games than theg look.

Wonder why its a $50 game. Is it gonna be shorter than the other two? And yea this sucks. Square Enix actually just did it right with DQ 3 HD having a free Switch 2 patch. And Tactics did it right as well.

Shinobi Art of Vengenace looks awesome and I definitely plan on playing Star Crossed Worlds. Although as a physical collector, I am somewhat torn on whether I should just get the upgrade pack or shell out the money for the actual physical since its so expensive.

@Nintendo_Thumb Original Super Mario Bros has a certain appeal that no other Mario games have due to its simplicity. The levels are pretty all built so you can just run straight through them without stopping much which gives it that speedrun appeal. And the runtime is just short enough to where the simplicity doesn't get old and again it makes it replayable. I have learned to appreciate SMB1 more as I've gotten older. That being said, I would never argue its better than SMW,SMB3 or Wonder. But hey I get it.

@KingMike Why did Jaleco do that for their NES spines? Who hurt them?

I don't know why a lot of these lower end indie games are struggling performance wise on Switch that shouldn't be having any problems. It feels like game optimization is a lost art at this point.

Fly swatting mini game is fun.

@Yozora146_ you can still play great in Mario Kart with a wheel if you get really used to the tilt controls. Most are more used to the analog stick and it is generally more precise.

@beltmenot Realistically you're going to need to delete it eventually for storage reasons though. And then potientially redownload it if you wanna play it again. And if anything happens to your console when Nintendo inevitably shuts down the servers you're f*cked.

@Kneppy18 its $10 more than other versions for a key card that eats up space on your storage is sh*t for preservation. Literally no excuse

JUST BE HONEST AND SAY AN ACTUAL GAME CARD IS TOO EXPENSIVE. MY LORD

@Zeebor15 oh yea crap I had a brain fart there. Sorry about that. Yea I loved having to spend an extra $30 to get Mario Kart World physically 😐

They really announced this 2 years in advance...

@Zeebor15 ? This is getting an actual physical worldwide. Are you thinking of the Pokemon ScarVio+ DLC bundle cart or something?

@electrolite77 like I said though, this would essentially allow people to pass their physical copy around and give all their friends a discount. For Hogwarts it just gives you the discount and doesn't even have a cart drm check for the download.

@electrolite77 All of those have upgrade paths for the physical copy? And like I said the Switch 2 Edition is Nintendo's way of offering an "official" upgrade path and it just doesn't work on games that are Key Cards. And that affects the digital version for parity's sake I guess. I think all this crap is kinda dumb, but as of now that's how it seemingly works.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy I mean if anything having access to the original version can be kind of preservation in another way. I do agree for a game like this that's going to be get a lot of updates that add content should maybe wait till all of that content is out and just do a physical release then.

I'm sad that this excites me, but it does.

@electrolite77 Ironically the Key Cards are the reason stuff like this happens. Only standard way for an upgrade path on Switch 2 is a Switch 2 Edition which cannot be a key card as they can't work on Switch 1. Some games use a workaround to get around this process like Hogwarts or Deltarune, but that enables essentially being able to share a discount around with a Switch 1 physical copy if they let it work with physical games.

Theres some fairly minor dips from 60 fps. It really isn't that big of a deal. (I've played the game myself so...) Unless it gets really bad later in the game or something... Most games that are at all demanding will have frame rate drops at some point.

@Ellie-Moo full game on disc for ps5 amd series x actually

@teo_o ok thanks. Yea its still cool. Just curious

Handheld mode has a performance mode? Ik bc I've played it

I'm guessing it doesn't run with Docked mode clocks with the HDMI out?

Nice to hear! Yet another sign showing Switch 2 Editions can't be "key cards" as they won't work with Switch 1. They either have to be an actual game card or a download code in a box (or just digital only all together.)

I figured this was a software issue tbh. Why would Nintendo post VRR support docked to everyone of their international websites if the hardware could never support it? Guessing a software issue cropped up which is why it was removed. Bet it will be patched at some point.

They've fixed this now. You can pre order Donkey Kong Bananza right now.

@Rayquaza3010 yep. You're right. 😶

When are they gonna patch Nier Automata. Edit:OH I JUST SAW IT ON THE LIST LMAO

@TheDragonDAFan lmao they really want ppl to play intermissions huh

@axelhander yea of course. I do feel like the issue has lessened over time though. I feel like they might've fixed the issue with Switch 2 at least to a degree. I know people like iFixIt say that any analog stick using that type of technology is vulnerable to it, but Gamecube, Wii nunchucks/classic controller, Wii U gamepad/pro controller and even the Switch Pro Controller use that similar tech and seem to be just fine for the most part. So I'm guessing the Switch 1 Joy Con stick was just a bad part that was more vulnerable to stick drift.

Dominus might also come with the latest patch on the cart that LRG did not so that would be a nice bonus

@axelhander Joy Con drift has never personally been an issue for me

This type of crap is why I for the most part only buy accessories licensed by Nintendo

@nightspades Nope it still has analog triggers

@SamusHunter182 that would be possible for the most part likely... It would cause worse battery life and weird glitches in game with more significant docked mode differences like Pokemon Let's Go.
