Really wish I could share the joy of seeing these kind of games on Switch 2, but as a physical collector it is clear that this console is not the place to stay. I'll still buy the amazing Nintendo first party games, but I'm moving on from Switch 2 in pursue of my own goals as a gamer and collector.
May the new generation of digital gamers enjoy the Switch 2.
This is clearly a design flaw of the Switch 2, it was Nintendo's job to offer a sustainable physical media solution. I don't applaud third parties like Capcom either, but Nintendo is responsible for this.
Bayonetta 3 is a masterpiece, best combat and level design in the whole series. Just because the ending didn't go the way you wanted doesn't mean is bad, deal with it.
@Olmectron do you have any idea how many corporate protocols, policies, maintenance, decisions, money exchange, financial results, etc. your game download goes through? Game availability can change at any time if any of the above fail to meet expectations. Not to mention your ISP, Internet comes from companies with policies too you know.
How can't they get this game running at 60fps on Switch, since the NS2 is out they don't want to bother with optimization anymore. I was hoping to play this on my Lite.
All these patents are just to make their lives miserable since Nintendo couldn't sue them for ripping off their creatures design. I doubt Nintendo will sue every single company using the mechanics.
@kmtrain83 problem is you'll run out of storage really fast forcing you to delete and re-download back and forth, a real inconvenience that costs your time, patience and additional storage, while they profit.
Also, this is Ubisoft we're talking about, the "physical" release require a download on ALL platforms to work.
I'm a Star Wars fan but first and foremost, a gamer and collector so I'm not getting it because it's a key card. It looks like a very good port though, I'm impressed.
Totally disagree, after playing the demo I'm sold on this game. I don't see the story being an excuse for fight as a con, If anything that's badass for a mecha game.
Game is really good, graphics though, not so much on Switch. CrossWorlds on Switch doesn't look nearly as good as Team Sonic Racing which is one of the best looking third party games on the console.
@Anachronism exactly, WiiU is ignored but Nintendo was at the top of raw GPU power back in 2012 until PS4 launched at the end of 2013. Pikmin 3, an early WiiU title, demonstrated the system and Nintendo capabilities.
Switch 2 is not at the top but is capable enough, regardless Nintendo seems to be sticking with old engines that don't take full advantage of their own hardware, MKW and DK look fine but the system is capable of much more.

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Director Highlights The Speed Problem With Switch 2 Game Cards
Ahh yes, FFVII Remake, a PS4 game that has no problem running on an HDD can't use a high speed Switch 2 cartridge.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake For Switch 2 Slips Into 2026, Game-Key Card Confirmed
Star Wars Outlaws, a current-gen game, was shrunk down to 25Gb, of course they could have compressed FFVII further to make it fit on a cartridge.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
I'm fine with my Wii copies, I love the Wii remote controls in these games.

Re: Mario Movie Domain Names Surface Online Ahead Of Mario's 40th Anniversary
@Croctopus man Rosalina's story book has to be Nintendo's saddest story to date.
Re: Mario Movie Domain Names Surface Online Ahead Of Mario's 40th Anniversary
If Galaxy 3 is the next 3D Mario game I'll absolutely lose my mind.
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Patch Adds 60fps Mode, But There's A Catch
@Ejadaddy this game must be at the same graphical level as the likes of Doom Eternal on Switch to run at 30fps.
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Patch Adds 60fps Mode, But There's A Catch
How can't they get this game running at 60fps on Switch, since the NS2 is out they don't want to bother with optimization anymore. I was hoping to play this on my Lite.

@Automated_Unit_4937 a physical release is better than saving some seconds on loading times.
Re: Nintendo's Patent On 'Sub Characters' Could Have Some Dire Ramifications
All these patents are just to make their lives miserable since Nintendo couldn't sue them for ripping off their creatures design. I doubt Nintendo will sue every single company using the mechanics.

Re: The Best Nintendo Switch 2 Games
Mario Kart World is a top 3 game, a beautiful crafted open world racing game that actually pushes graphics and driving mechanics, so underrated.
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
@Dr_Awkward it is when you pay for a physical cartridge, it is supposed to be plug and play with no downloads.

As long as is on the cartridge I'll buy it, otherwise don't care.
Re: Review: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion (Switch 2) - Decently Deep Mech Combat, But Clunky In Parts
