Unfortunately is not a "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition", so previous save files are not compatible, and the physical Switch 1 release is currently ineligible for an upgrade (which sucks as I JUST got my copy in today).
@Jessicolonthree That ain't how it works, that would be like saying the Let's Go games are Gen 1. The generations in Pokémon refer to the game engines and Pokémon available, so considering how there are Gen 3 Pokémon in FRLG, they are Gen 3.
Really hoping we get official confirmation that more classic Pokemon games are returning, I'll try FireRed out but man I really wanted Blue and Crystal.
@obijuankanoobie I did not even think about how much better it might look on the Oled. I may pull out my totk oled switch as a dedicated virtual boy setup.
Probably the only direct in years that I did not bother to watch, but it seems like a good game from what I've heard. Might jump in completely unspoiled.
I'm a big fan of the original FF7 but I have to admit that Remake is a much better experience. It's different, and it's part one out of three, but they're still so much more involved and full of life with the voice acting.
Chocobo GP is also incredibly underrated, it's good now!
I'm actually a big fan of these retro offerings, and I wish that we could buy them separately.
Not that I don't like Yakuza games either, I love them, but having the retro stuff easily accessible without running to an ingame arcade would be nice. Especially releases like these with third party titles, make a Sega Digital Eclipse collection.
I would say people are just getting their hopes up over nothing.. but I can't argue with the voice actors in the credits. K Rool in Mario Kart would have a lot of draw.
Eh, it's alright but when 95% of the games look and play better on my Steam Deck OLED then it's hard to justify buying very many games for it outside of exclusives.
I snagged a physical copy for $10 two years ago and have been holding onto it in anticipation of it looking better on Switch 2... needless to say I was disappointed when it ended up looking worse.
Completely new to Air Ride, and I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would. The gameplay is fun, although I wish there were a few more tracks.
The one thing really holding it back for me is that it just needs one more mode. We've got races, races again, city trial, and story mode. It needs like a battle tournament mode. I know you can do stadium event minigames without city trial or whatnot but a smaller, more concise Mario Kart-esque battle arena would be fun.
I don't think it's better than MK World, and I've yet to try online, just local multiplayer, so we'll see. Would've loved a playable Epic Yarn character or even just a reference of some kind.
I haven't picked this one up yet but I plan to, as I already have all the other 3D Namco titles. Aqua Jet's been my favorite so far, currently holding onto #1 on the leaderboard for expert difficulty.
@Moroboshi876 on their socials they said that they are planning a third complete physical edition but "not yet," implying more dlc is on the way. I've been buying the dlc on steam (thanks to the bundle discounts) and on Switch I'm picking up each physical version.
@BaldB3lper78 Sure it does, but for the past few years there have been so many games released on PS5/PS4 and Xbox that would've absolutely have come to Switch if the system was capable. I expected the floodgates to open and we really haven't had a ton of 2021-2024 ports yet.
Reload is personally the weakest entry of the big three Personas for me, but it's still a 9/10 game. Definitely worth playing if you've played any of the others.
Best Dragon Ball game and dare I say one of if not the best fighting games of all time. Hoping he's the first character in FighterZ Pass 4 with Gohan Beast and SSJ3 Vegeta
This is a 10/10 game for me, and Rebirth is an 11/10. $40 for the full game, DLC plus the original FF7 is a heck of a deal, if I didn't already have it on the go via my Steam Deck oled. Great game!
@Vyacheslav333 Man when's the last time you've played real kusoge, like Sailor Moon snes? Cotw has fantastic gameplay, mechanics and artstyle, just a small roster.
@Vyacheslav333 I think you're a little harsh on Cotw, the dlc is free, the guest characters are more "bonus" if anything, and the devs have already stated their intentions to bring every fatal fury character back into the roster over time.
I like how, since it was announced in that Nintendo Today app, we don't know how long it is yet lol.
Honestly I don't know what to expect. Hoping for some new Mario news of some type for the anniversary, I just beat Galaxy 2 on my steam deck oled and it would be a joy to run through that game again in 4k on Switch 2.
My #1 most played Switch 2 title right now (besides the big Nintendo Mario Kart and DK) is Aqua Jet. Really fun game with some cool speed tech; I'm at #1 in the leaderboards with over 10 hours so far, it's been surprisingly fun.
@Pillowpants If you think about it, these guys aren't making Switch clones, all the Switch clones (including the Switch itself) are just Neo Geo X clones

Would've rather had a port of the Gen 1 games.

I just want the old games I grew up on.

Re: "We Thought It Would Be Fun" - Nintendo Explains Why Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Aren't On Switch Online
I'm fine paying $20, I just wanted Gens 1 & 2 first.
Re: Review: Virtual Boy For Switch 1 & 2 - Is It Really Worth Revisting Nintendo's Greatest Folly?
I'm enjoying mine so far, especially Golf for some reason. Just a good game in 3D.
Re: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Officially Revealed For Switch
I waited 9 years for them to put the Gameboy/Gameboy Color games on Switch and they're starting with GBA???? why?????
Re: Gallery: We've Got The Virtual Boy Accessory For Nintendo Switch Online
I'm planning on slotting my Zelda Switch Oled into it as a permanent setup, as I haven't really touched it since the Switch 2 arrived.
I think the true blacks and vibrant reds of the Oled will more than make up for being slightly smaller than the Switch 2 screen.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario Tennis Fever For Switch 2?
The only Mario Sports game I'd ever pay $70 for is Mario Strikers Charged
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets A Brand New Teaser With An Iconic Boss
Looks like this might be the Super Bowl trailer, yet another victim of companies posting their big ads days or even weeks early.
Fury Bowser Jr. looks cool though, nice to finally see some Galaxy influence.
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Is The Closest We'll Get To Virtual Console In 2026
I'll add Rave Racer to my collection of 3D Namco ACA2 games. Glad they skipped Ridge Racer 2 for now as it was basically Ridge Racer DX.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Gets A Release Date For Switch 2
Very much looking forward to this game getting more recognition, I can totally see it launching at $40/50. Incredible experience.
Re: Preview: Five Takeaways From My Time With Virtual Boy On Nintendo Switch Online

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Moves In On Switch 1 This April

Re: Nintendo Announces Launch Line-Up For Switch Online Virtual Boy
So looks like a grand total of 17 games which is not bad considering only 14 were released in America.
Those two unreleased games are neat, Zero Racer I believe is an F-Zero game that's never been playable or dumped anywhere.
Re: Best Final Fantasy Games, Ranked - Switch 2 And Nintendo Systems
I'm a big fan of the original FF7 but I have to admit that Remake is a much better experience. It's different, and it's part one out of three, but they're still so much more involved and full of life with the voice acting.
Chocobo GP is also incredibly underrated, it's good now!
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade On Switch 2
Highly recommend, this will be the third time I purchase this game, even as a game-key card I cannot complain for $40 with the card pack.
I believe it has also been confirmed that Rebirth and the eventual finale to the trilogy will release on Switch 2 as well.
Re: Sega Is Adding Playable Bandai Namco Game Gear Titles To Yakuza Kiwami 3
I'm actually a big fan of these retro offerings, and I wish that we could buy them separately.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2025 'Year In Review' Is Available Now
My top 5 were MK World, DK Bananza, MK8D, Smash Ultimate, and Aqua Jet. 170 hours for the year.
Re: A Pokémon-Inspired RPG More Than 20 Years In The Making Is Finally Heading To The Switch
Looks like a Metal Slug game, turns out it's made by the same team. Neat.

Re: Review: DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO (Switch 2) - A Brilliant Brawler With A Colossal Roster
There's microtransactions? I could've sworn that the game doesn't have any, just the extra character DLCs
Re: Mini Review: Arcade Archives 2 TOKYO WARS (Switch 2) - Another Polished But Wafer Thin Hamster Port
I haven't picked this one up yet but I plan to, as I already have all the other 3D Namco titles. Aqua Jet's been my favorite so far, currently holding onto #1 on the leaderboard for expert difficulty.
After this they should add Rave Racer.
Re: Mini Review: Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration - The Namco Legendary Pack (Switch) - Another Brilliant Digital Eclipse DLC

Re: Reggie Is "Surprised" We Haven't Seen More Xbox Titles On Switch 2
@BaldB3lper78 Sure it does, but for the past few years there have been so many games released on PS5/PS4 and Xbox that would've absolutely have come to Switch if the system was capable. I expected the floodgates to open and we really haven't had a ton of 2021-2024 ports yet.
Re: Reggie Is "Surprised" We Haven't Seen More Xbox Titles On Switch 2
I'm surprised we haven't seen more third party releases in general, but I guess that's a good thing if devs are working to optimize them.
Persona 3 Reload looks and runs much better on my Steam Deck oled than it does on Switch 2, which is kinda crazy.
Re: "I'm Running On Fumes" - Digital Eclipse Is Scrambling To Address Issues With Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection

Re: Feature: "We Have Absolutely No Intention Of Neglecting Her" - Persona 3 Reload Devs On FeMC And Porting To Switch 2

Re: Surprise! Dragon Ball FighterZ Is Adding Another Fighter To The Roster In 2026
LET'S GOOOOOOO YESSSSS
Best Dragon Ball game and dare I say one of if not the best fighting games of all time. Hoping he's the first character in FighterZ Pass 4 with Gohan Beast and SSJ3 Vegeta
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Switch 2 Trailer Introduces Shinra, The Turks & Avalanche

Re: The Next Arcade Archives Release Will Have Mouse Controls On Switch 1 & 2
I'm more looking forward to next week's big monthly title, last month we got Mach Breakers and I was really hoping for another 3D title.
Re: Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection Details Additional Features In New Trailer
After this it's just Legends and maybe a mini-collection of spinoffs like the psp remakes or the sports games, then that's it.
Re: Feature: Ghosts 'n Goblins Hit Arcades 40 Years Ago, And Its Recent Resurrection Is The Perfect Way To Celebrate
@PJOReilly In the poll it calls Resurrection a remake in the first option, just thought it was funny.
Re: Feature: Ghosts 'n Goblins Hit Arcades 40 Years Ago, And Its Recent Resurrection Is The Perfect Way To Celebrate
Not to be that guy but resurrection is a completely new title, not a remake
