Their social media post on this had me dying. And really, even if the employees were doing that stuff...meh. Nobody truly works their entire shift. Nobody.
@ElRoberico no, on Switch 2 at 60 FPS it just looks like it's on fast forward. You can really tell the difference, especially when using Miraidon. The Benny Hill music plays in my mind when I'm going around the map with Miraidon because it's almost comically smooth compared to playing it on Switch 1.
I feel like this is one of those instances where I'd notice the difference. But will it be like Pokémon Violet where I play it on 60 FPS and I have the Benny Hill music playing in my mind as I move?
Tbh, this wasn't really on my radar until Switch 2 wad an option. Yes, I own an Xbox Series X, but I rarely buy games on it anymore so I kind of didn't care about it. But I plan on buying it for Switch 2, at some point.
We could very easily just get a Nintendo Today app release date announcement, which would be the most hilarious way for them to do it. People seem to care how we get information, but don't get that the Direct isn't the only way to get it anymore.
I always tell anyone who is considering a Switch that they might as well get a Switch 2. Nintendo's biggest games will be there going forward and the new or existing games you want on Switch 1, you can play on Switch 2. The latter is also not much more expensive than a new Switch OLED or even a base Switch. Really, anyone being honest would suggest the same to someone looking for a Switch.
And like PS5 was near its launch, Switch 2 is an investment. People had less of an issue with PS5, which had fewer exclusives than Switch 2 does at the same point in its life cycle does today, so I don't really get why so many people act like Switch 2 is so egregious or not worth it.
Oh look, official information and not speculation based on a retailer's listing. I guess this is what news looks like!
I saw this on Nintendo Today (with zero commentary) and will 100% get this to play on Switch 2. These games are always fun late gen Nintendo console games.
A $20 discount on each game for those of us who already have a Switch 2 would be awesome.
@JohnnyMind I'll never understand why people take the time to go to sites for things that don't interest them, but I also don't give them the time of day. Mute the dweebs and move on (the latter of which they should do, but never will).
Tbh, I'm fine with this as someone who's retired his NS1. This is a nice middle ground between a Switch 2 edition and using boost mode. It's basically like the update for games other than Mario Odyssey of Pokémon SV, where it's noticeable but not massive.
I'd say yes to all of this, even OoT remake because I haven't played it in ages. It would be fun to go back to it. 3D Mario is the least exciting because it's one we know is going to happen. Star Fox, that one is what I hope turns out to be true. It'd be nice to have an entry that's like 64 or Assault.
I think the best explanation, other than if that's what they wanted to show us than what else is going on that movie that might be better, is that they figured someone would spoil it before the official opening so they might as well get ahead of that. Kit from Kit and Krysta made that guess. To me, that's reasonable enough.
That reminds me, I need to beat the first game. However, Pokémon Pokopia has taken up a lot of my time. I'm just a ditto, trying to figure out what's going on in the world.
@wiiwouldliketoplay tbh, that is my initial feeling.
Fwiw, even as a digital buyer, I do think the option for physical is overall better.
@squiddu-real I actually agree since most of the native Switch 2 games go for $70 in the US. I don't think the split will be $70 digital and $80 physical because Yoshi was $60 on Switch 1, in line with most of the "big" first-party games.

Re: Overwatch Is Out Now For Switch 2, But It's Got Some Performance Issues
I can't pretend I really noticed a difference after the update. My takeaway is Marvel Rivals takes a lot of inspiration from Overwatch...

Great, no game-key cards to worry about!
Oh, crap...
Re: "Are You High?" – Xbox Co-Creator Believes Whatever Nintendo Makes Next Is Far More Interesting Than Project Helix
It's funny to see the Wii U redemption arc that was basically inevitable.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Dev Playtonic Seems To Be Teasing Something
It obviously means GTA VI is coming to Switch 2.
Re: Review: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream (Switch) - BREAKING NEWS: Mii Life Is Still Bizarre, Hilarious, And A Bit Samey
I don't think anyone wanting this expected it to be any different than how it turned out. This should sell fairly well, like the first game.
Re: Random: Diablo 4: Lord Of Hatred Nintendo Rating Surfaces Online
It wouldn't surprise me if this turns out to be real.

Re: Overwatch Lands On Switch 2 Tomorrow, Will Be 60fps Both Handheld And Docked
Welp, I'll give it a shot.
Re: Unsurprisingly, The Mario Galaxy Movie Is Already 2026's Biggest Box Office Hit
Well deserved, it translates what made the games great into a movie format.
Re: Review: Pragmata (Switch 2) - A Dazzling Puzzle-Shooter Driven By A Heartfelt Friendship
Of course it's great. Thanks, Capcom and Nintendo, for killing my wallet.

Re: Hades II Has Some Bonus Content Planned For Next Week
@puddinggirl Nice. I'm still feverishly working on finishing the dex. I also want to beat Fire Emblem Engage before Fortune's Weave comes out.
Re: Another Switch 1 Release Might Be Ditching The "Cloud Version" Label On Switch 2
This really makes me wish I hadn't "bought" (via MS rewards) it on Xbox.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Updated To Version 1.0.3, Includes Improvements & Fixes
They can't update it to make it less addictive.
Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Let's You Fight Joan Of Arc And Explore Notre Dame In New Trailer
I can only explore it in the trailer but not the game? What's the point in buying it?!
Re: Rhythm Heaven Groove's Price Is A Welcome Surprise
This is cheaper than the Wii game was at launch. With inflation, it's dirt cheap!
Re: 21 Best Switch 2 Games Under $25
@WiltonRoots as a matter of fact, they did!

Re: 21 Best Switch 2 Games Under $25
@WiltonRoots Pfft, Switch 2 is evil and the cause of all my problems. A YouTuber told me so, so it must be true!
Re: 21 Best Switch 2 Games Under $25
This list is fake news. Switch 2 is expensive and bad.

Re: Ratatan Dev Cancels The Switch Version
Meh, I'd have gotten it on Switch 2 anyway. If you're a Nintendo fan, you're going to upgrade at some point.
Re: Review: The Midnight Walk (Switch 2) - Atmospheric Walking Sim Delivers A Haunting, Stop-Motion Nightmare
I will resist the urge to buy this right now and wait for a discount.
Re: Nintendo Details The Benefits Of Playing Tomodachi Life On Switch 2
Tbh, I'm fine with this as someone who's retired his NS1. This is a nice middle ground between a Switch 2 edition and using boost mode. It's basically like the update for games other than Mario Odyssey of Pokémon SV, where it's noticeable but not massive.

Re: Nintendo Will Be "Absolutely Furious" About Latest Leaks, Says Former PR Manager
If the leaks are true, yes. But...why is this a story? It's obvious they would be upset about the leaks.
Re: Tomb Raider Series Pauses Production After Sophie Turner Suffers "Minor Injury"
Gotta be careful when doing your own stunts. Just ask Jackie Chan. Lol
Yes, I'm aware that they didn't say where she got injured. It's a joke and here's hoping she recovers quickly.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo's 2026 Plans Include New Star Fox & Zelda Remake, No 3D Mario
I'd say yes to all of this, even OoT remake because I haven't played it in ages. It would be fun to go back to it. 3D Mario is the least exciting because it's one we know is going to happen.

It's a Pokémon world and we're living in it. Or something like that.

I buy digital, so this is rewarding that decision and I'm more than okay with that.
