I haven't noticed any issues playing on Switch 2, but that's good. I'm sure whenever I beat it, Nintendo will announce the Switch 2 upgrade that will make it look nicer and run at 60 FPS.
@Luigia I've had the same thought, but competing hardware that already exists (PS5) is getting day and date Xbox games so that doesn't fully explain it.
Perhaps there are marketing agreements in place that are preventing their announcement but I'm sure there will be a lot more Xbox on NS2 starting next year.
Kirby's Return to Dreamland and DKR might be worth those asking prices since I haven't played either in ages.
If you're interested in Splatoon 3 I'd say it's worth it even though you missed the final splatfest. I find matches all the time in anarchy (ranked) mode.
The cadence of games for Switch 2 is very similar to Switch 1, from a first-party perspective. It will be interesting to see if Nintendo dips further into the back catalog with old GBA/DS games being reworked for NS2 later in the console's life cycle.
As for what I'm getting. Probably MP4 as I have a voucher and a way to get a gift card that will make the price I pay $55, vice $70, which is good. Kirby Air Riders is happening, but probably not at launch depending on what happens in politics the next few weeks (I work for the USG, look at the news for more information on the state of the U.S. Government right now, so I'm a pawn in a bigger game like I was when I served in the military). Mario Tennis is likely a get for me, as well. I skipped some big games on NS1 though, and I do plan on getting those before vouchers go away so I'm set as far as NS1/2 games go.
Driving around in free roam is enough evidence the soundtrack is substantial. Anyone who's played the game already knows it likely is easier said than done to add it right away but it will happen.
Methinks the audience is wanting to play MH on a handheld console. I think there is a new one on the market that launched this past June that would be a great place for the next entry.
Again, I will continue to point this out, a small studio publishes a full physical game on Switch 2 yet the bigger ones refuse to do it. There is no excuse unless the file size is bigger than what a cart would be.
Hard to say when they announce it, but I could see the Halo remake coming to Switch 2. Indiana Jones and Fallout 4 are coming, so it seems like it is only a matter of time before we hear about it.
@Maxz try around the time Sega dropped out of the hardware biz. Though the argument was less about console power and more about how poorly they sold.
I really enjoyed the other Hyrule Warriors games (though I got AOC at a massive discount because of a glitch, this will be an easier sell to my wife because she loved TotK), so I'm buying this.
@ElRoberico true. Though I played the original and liked it well enough but didn't really expect another entry. Maybe in another 20 years, Nintendo will make another game.
The worst kept secret in gaming is true! Tbh, that trailer was hype. I liked AC Origins and this one looks pretty nice. Given the publisher, I'll wait for a sale (like Outlaws).
First Fallout on Switch that isn't a mobile port. I'll buy this, for sure.
Note that this would be a double-dip for me. I never bought the DLC for Fallout 4 on Xbox and I feel justified buying this version because it's "play anywhere" on Switch 2.

Re: The Game Awards Nominees Announced, Donkey Kong Bananza Up For GOTY
Everyone says Nintendo wins at this show all the time, but they rarely do. Not that it really matters because there is no one "GOTY" award.
Re: Official Zelda Movie Photos Give Us Our Best Look Yet At Link And Zelda
I saw them in the app before articles came out. I'm one of the cool kids.
Jokes aside, the characters look good.
Re: 'Chromagun 2' For Switch 2 Is About The Closest We're Getting To A New 'Portal'
You guys had to sneak in mention of the new Valve box. Didn't you?
Re: Square Enix Switch 2 Launch Title Scores A Limited-Time Discount
I never beat this game on 3DS and, tbf, the asking price is not crazy but with my backlog I will wait for a steeper discount to jump.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Has Been Rated For The Switch 2
Part of me wishes I never bought this on other platforms, but knowing it would come to Switch would have required a time machine, so oh well.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
What a fun Direct and a great trailer. This movie looks like it will deliver.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Switch 2 Compatibility Update Released

It's finally happening.

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Gets March 2026 Release Date, Brand New Trailer Coming This Week
There it is. The March Switch 2 game.
Also, why does the internet pretend to be surprised every time a Switch 2 game is $70? That's the standard game price nowadays.
Re: Nintendo's Black Friday Offers Include Deals On Switch 1 Games, amiibo, And More
@Bizzyb both are excellent so I obviously can't blame you. Lol
Re: How Are You Finding Switch Game And App Compatibility On The Switch 2?
I'm greedy because I want more Switch 2 upgrades from both Nintendo and third-parties but at least most games I want to play work.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct Announced For Wednesday, 12th November
Hey, like the first movie. Nice!
Re: Nintendo's Black Friday Offers Include Deals On Switch 1 Games, amiibo, And More
Kirby's Return to Dreamland and DKR might be worth those asking prices since I haven't played either in ages.

Re: Kirby Air Riders Looks To Be Powered By Bandai Namco's New In-House Engine
I played some and it reminds me of the original, but it seemed refined. This will be a buy at some point, as I expect it will have some legs.
Re: Anniversary: 20 Years Ago, 'GUN' Brought America's Old West (And An All-Star Cast) To GameCube
The name of this game was very on the nose, but I remember having a good time with it.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
For me, this is the first time in a while I've felt Nintendo first and third-party are both great, at least this early in their console's life.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Gets Faster On Switch 2 Next Month
Gotta go fast!
Re: Service! Overcooked 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Is Ready To Eat Today

Re: Nintendo States Its Intention To Acquire More Development Teams
@GrailUK I mean, Sony has already developed games for Switch so Switch 2 isn't a stretch.
Re: Nintendo Releases A Storefront App For Android And iOS
I downloaded it right away. Now I can also check my play time on Wii U, again.
Re: Talking Point: Smashing Switch 2 Numbers Prove Nintendo's Strategy Is Super Effective
Given they didn't mess with the formula too much and this is what people wanted, I figured Switch 2 would sell well.
Re: Switch 2 Sells Over 10 Million Units, Nintendo Increases Forecast Even Further
But the internet said Switch 2 was dead on arrival. What gives?!
Re: Review: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment (Switch 2) - A Stunning Slice Of Musou, Worthy Of The Zelda Canon
Nice! I will get this down the line but it sounds like I won't regret it.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
The cadence of games for Switch 2 is very similar to Switch 1, from a first-party perspective. It will be interesting to see if Nintendo dips further into the back catalog with old GBA/DS games being reworked for NS2 later in the console's life cycle.

Re: Switch 2 Sells Over 10 Million Units, Nintendo Increases Forecast Even Further
@westman98 I came here to say the same thing about the DK commentary. It's selling pretty well, imo.
Re: Persona 5 Series Sales Just Won't Slow Down As Games Soar Past 13 Million
Idk why referring to one entry in a series as a series is just so weird to me even if I understand what it means. But it still sounds bizarre to me.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
Already pre-ordered the digital upgrade.
Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update
Given the price of the update, I'm not surprised it's relatively little. The free update is massive, however.
Re: Nintendo On Why The Mario Kart World Album Isn't Available For Nintendo Music
Driving around in free roam is enough evidence the soundtrack is substantial. Anyone who's played the game already knows it likely is easier said than done to add it right away but it will happen.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Getting Collabs With Lego, Splatoon, And Zelda
Well, this game was already pretty content-rich, but now it's going to be really stacked.
Re: Surprise! Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Arrives Next Year
Welp, getting this for sure. Now it's time to start my island again because it takes a lot of time...
Seems like this will also bring a lot of others back into the game. Should be fun to play online with friends. Especially on NS2.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment?
I won't get it at launch, but I'll get it.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Sales Hit The Brakes So Hard Last Quarter, Even 'Rise' Outsold It

Re: The Binding Of Isaac Is Heading To Switch 2 With A Full Physical Release
Again, I will continue to point this out, a small studio publishes a full physical game on Switch 2 yet the bigger ones refuse to do it. There is no excuse unless the file size is bigger than what a cart would be.
Re: Microsoft On Its Gaming Business Going Forward: "We Want To Be Everywhere"
Nadella has already said this before and based on their more recent moves, it sounds like he means it.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Updated To Version 1.1.4, Improves Gameplay On Switch 2
@Truegamer79 I haven't had any issues on Switch 2.
Re: 'Art Of Rally' Dev's Gorgeous Off-Road Follow-Up Drives Onto Switch 2 Next Year

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Scored US' Biggest Physical Game Launch Since TOTK
This is impossible, every Youtuber insisted this game would fail miserably!
Re: Xbox Reiterates Its Support For Switch 2
Hard to say when they announce it, but I could see the Halo remake coming to Switch 2. Indiana Jones and Fallout 4 are coming, so it seems like it is only a matter of time before we hear about it.

Re: EA Is Diving Headfirst Into Generative AI With New Partnership
Yay, let's relieve people of the burden of checks notes creative tasks. Wait, no, that can't be right.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Trailer Sets Up The Imprisoning War
I really enjoyed the other Hyrule Warriors games (though I got AOC at a massive discount because of a glitch, this will be an easier sell to my wife because she loved TotK), so I'm buying this.
Re: Sakurai Has No Plans For Kirby Air Riders DLC: "Everything Is Here"
@ElRoberico true. Though I played the original and liked it well enough but didn't really expect another entry. Maybe in another 20 years, Nintendo will make another game.
Re: Sakurai Has No Plans For Kirby Air Riders DLC: "Everything Is Here"
He also made it clear that he doesn't want this to be a series. Which...may not matter long term but it's wild he just came out and said that.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Sold 5.8 Million Copies Globally In Its First Week
Good numbers for a great game with weird discourse.
Re: It's Official, Assassin's Creed Shadows Comes To Switch 2 In December With Cross-Progression

Re: Nightdive's Excellent 'System Shock' Remake Is Getting A Switch 1 & 2 Port
This is apparently a legendary PC game. It sounds like the studio is working hard to make the NS2 version great so I'll support that.
Re: Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Brings The Apocalypse To Switch 2 In 2026
First Fallout on Switch that isn't a mobile port. I'll buy this, for sure.

Re: Elden Ring Delayed On Switch 2 "To Allow Time For Performance Adjustments"
Expected since no release date was given. I saw footage of it and it seemed pretty good but I guess Fromsoft was not happy with the general feedback.
