IronMan30

DK Banaza, Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, SF6, Metroid Prime 4, Hyrule Warriors and Kirby Air Riders are all looking great. Of course, Kirby and the Forgotten Land DLC as well (I'm paying $20 for it, it seems worth it).

All in all, Switch 2 is hitting the ground running like the OG Switch did.

Super Metal Dave 64 and others have been posting this over the weekend and NS2 is really impressive.

I'm not sure that is true for everyone, but I have been wanting a new Mario Kart for a little while.

And yet NL doesn't apologize when they post inaccurate information.

This is unsurprising, but I wish I hadn't "bought" it on Xbox.

So it's clearly Nintendo's fault that third-parties are opting to use them.

NL, you raise a good point about the 2D Zeldas on Switch. Nintendo probably didn't mention frame rates because they already target 60 and NS2 will give them the ability to deliver on that.

These are decent upgrades for free. I'll check out ARMs and maybe do another play through of Odyssey since back when it came out, my oldest ended up getting most of the moons on my profile.

Compared to what they look like on OG Switch, they're pretty good.

I still play Switch 1, because I'm trying to get 3 stars on Mario Kart 8 and doing missions in XCX:DE. But when I get Switch 2, I'll play my NS1 games on there.

Plus, I'm playing Deathloop on Xbox.

Also, why are you not talking about Hogwarts Legacy's Switch 2 upgrade path? Is that not newsworthy?

Where's the article about the upgrade path for Hogwarts Legacy? Or is it only bad news for Switch 2?

@AussieMcBucket right, but there is always the chance it isn't. Maybe they learned their lesson after Wii U and decided to only show footage of third-party games running on Nintendo hardware instead of PC.

Say what you will about Randy Pitchford, if that's Switch 2 footage of BL4 that's really impressive looking.

NL strikes again. You reported the opposite before you had all the information and are now backtracking after everyone already forgot.

Nice try.

It would be really cool if Nintendo allowed them to complete this game on Switch 2.

Eh, I will probably get used to the system sounds, but I wasn't expecting them.

@WiltonRoots same, I check it a few times a day as it seems to update by the end.

Mouse controls will open up a lot of possibilities, especially since they are a built-in feature of the console.

The way this is worded, I thought it was an old port. This is one of the main reasons I don't care about hearing about other consoles on a Nintendo site, it's not relevant to the subject matter on the site and makes it confusing when someone announces something new vice a late port.

Interesting how this is a very cheap upgrade, Rune Factory costs $10 more, and the Pac-Man Metroidvania has a free upgrade while Sega offers none of the above.

This is great to hear. Nintendo has been much better about supporting third-parties than in the Wii U era.

It's no different than GBC vs GB. Idk why everyone is acting like this is so weird.

Chris Pontius and Steve-O were both much funnier than him, but BAM is an actual skater so it makes sense to include him. It also helps his likeness has made an appearance originally.

No invite for me. Not really a big deal because I have a pre-order.

That Direct in June will be interesting.

David Hayter is a great VA so I could play this in the English dub and probably appreciate it.

As creepy as that is, it's sort of expected. Privacy is, unfortunately, dead. As others have said, it's also a security measure because they know there will be trolls.

The short answer is yes. While I can afford video games, since having kids, I've bought fewer. And I've never paid more than $60 (at one time) for a video game. While DK Bananza will likely be the first, I'm holding out for some kind of voucher program for Switch 2 before I start buying too many more video games.

Nice, now we just need a release date...

I'd pay no more than $15 for this game because I spent that on Mario + Rabbids Gold Edition.

I may get this if it's a good port. I was somewhat interested on Xbox, but I've been trying to migrate away from that ecosystem since last year.

I can't fault NL for doing this. Good on you guys.

There isn't a new entry because Microsoft hates fun.

I don't buy physical copies very often so it's of little consequence to me.

@Ryu_Niiyama well, that's not going to happen. Nintendo is the easy villain for the industry.

Suddenly, Switch 2 doesn't seem so expensive.

Publishers can always put everything on the cart. CD Projekt Red is doing that and so is Nintendo (currently).

According to Story of Seasons fans, that is Harvest Moon and Harvest Moon is also Harvest Moon. It's not confusing at all!

I haven't started this game, but it will be fun to play once I beat XCX DE.

@RobbWes that's the worst part about this update. No added stability!

I assume there will be a NS2 version, tbh.

This is a really hefty update, which one would expect from the number.

Splatoon, Xenoblade (or whatever from Monolithsoft), Fire Emblem, and The Legend of Zelda. I feel like those are my safe ones. As for the out there...maybe Star Fox, Wave Race or F-Zero.

I plan on getting it for Switch 2. In fact I skipped buying the XSX version for it.

How will we ever survive?!

Every day because it's better than reading useless commentary 90% of the time.

I'm keeping my OLED because my kids play on it.

I plan on buying this game because it's apparently awesome.

I will get the Switch 2 version of Sonic Generations.

I take a lot of this with a grain of salt.

@SalvorHardin it would surprise me.
