Happy for 60fps on Switch 2. Should be the standard.

Really could use a 60fps Switch 2 version for other JRPGs like Persona 5 Royal, Sega!

Can we get Valkyria Chronicles 5 already?

Deserved. These are my favorite gaming films.

Now that the 60fps has been enabled, it's really eye-opening just how beautiful Overwatch is. I've been playing the Switch version for 3000 hours and this is such a massive improvement on Switch 2.

I'd be interested if they adapted World At War or Black Ops 1 because those games had genuinely hard-hitting stories that would.make for great films.

So naturally I highly doubt that's what they're going to do.

I'm glad they mentioned they're aware of the problems but I'm really confused as to how this even happened. They announced the Switch 2 version back in January 2026 and have likely been working on it for a while so when it finally releases and doesn't offer performance enhancements like they promised, it's confusing.

This console is able to run much larger games like Fortnite and Apex Legends at 60fps with no problem so this is entirely on Blizzard for messing it up. Hope it gets fixed ASAP.

I have 3000 hours in Overwatch on Switch with its semi-30fps and can't wait for this.

For those of you that know anime, getting my hands on 60fps will be the equivalent of Guy/Lee unlocking the Gates in Naruto or 200% Deku from MHA.

For me personally it's gameplay > story every time. You can have the best story in the world but if the game itself isn't fun, I'm dropping it. It's why, even though both have their strengths and weaknesses, I still consider Engage the better FE game over Houses.

I don't really care how good FW's story is so long as it's fun to play.

So excited for Fortune's Weave. Engage was an amazing strategy game and I hope FW plays like it with less of the obnoxious social simulation fluff Houses had.

Yikes low-key feels like a scam at this point. Would rather they have just waited and release the game on Switch 2 instead of waste resources on the original Switch.

L5 is literally the "potential man" if gaming companies.

Always "if" and "might" but never "is".

Fanart incoming.

I'm also partially convinced that Game Freak is fully aware of their fanbase and knows that people love drawing fanart of their characters online. The designs feel as if they were crafted in such a way to where everyone could latch onto them and spread fanart of them which in turn helps market the game.

I've already seen plenty of art of Kitt--the farmer girl who gives you rental Pokemon in Champions.

My favorite had to be Wart's casino because it was a huge love letter to Mario Bros 2. Seeing Birdo and the Ninjis appear and fight Peach was both entertaining and served the plot well. I also love how it used Galaxy-like gravity mechanics whenever characters walked on a wall or ceiling.

Yup. Expected. Not a perfect movie by any means but it was a great use of Mario as an IP and deserves its success.

Good. Crossovers are boring now and I'm sick of them. I really don't expect a "Smash" movie to properly nail the nuance of characters from the Fire Emblem or Xenoblade Chronicles series. Ike and Mythra alone are extremely complex characters that would not be done justice in a film where they have to share screentime with 20 other characters.

Not everything has to be the MCU. Enough is enough.

Well it's free so I might as well give it a shot. I'm enjoying XD Gale of Darkness but there is no way am I spending 70+ dollars on any of the recent Switch Pokémon games. I just don't have the money for that.

Plus this has doubles battles so I'm interested for that alone.

@PtM
It's still a win because they aren't raising the price of digital games to match.

Surprised this hasn't been the norm for a while but it's cool that it's finally going into effect. A digital game should realistically cost less.

@GoldenSunRM
Updates are more consistent and they just released 5 new heroes. Overwatch is in a much better state now than ever.

Hopefully a Switch 2 edition because the Switch version of this game is a genuine travesty compared to PS5, lacking a lot of depth and detail in a game heavily based around its environments.

I have Overwatch already and it's doing really great right now on top of its Switch 2 version coming next month.

I've heard quite the divisive opinions about Marvel Rivals with how it plays and is balanced. I'll give it a try to see if it's as good as Overwatch but I'm keeping my expectations in check.

So there's 3 characters left in the free section. Really hoping that one of them is Billy Hatcher, Beat from Jet Set Radio, or Amigo from Samba de Amigo.

I also have a huge pipe dream that they'll add Welkin or Selveria from Valkyria Chronicles but it's one of Sega's more niche RPGs akin to Skies of Arcadia and Sakura Wars so I don't know how likely it is.

I think I'm just a bit disappointed that we're getting a 2nd Yakuza/Like A Dragon character instead of other Sega All Stars who were in previous racing games like the ones I mentioned in my first paragraph. Really hoping there will be another round of DLC.

@conditionals
Yup. It's one of those things I've heard mentioned by tech pros but I never figured Nintendo would actually do it.

Big help for a few games I play handheld like Smash and Overwatch.

Don't play Angry Birds much anymore, Majima is cool but it's weird that we're getting a second Yakuza character before Billy Hatcher, Beat, or Amigo, and I'm not familiar with Arle.

Overall, not really my thing but hey, they're free. Still hoping for some Valkyria Chronicles representation.

This is one of those things I simply never expected Nintendo to actually do because they sometimes just don't bother with these sorts of things.

But hats off to them for this one. Sounds like everything is working great. Will try with some games and update this comment later.

Update: Smash and Overwatch look much better handheld.

While I'm not super into DK, this makes me happy and gives me hope that Nintendo will finally give Wario a brand-new platforming adventure of his own. He's been stuck as the funny minigame guy for far too long because the last Wario Land was nearly 20 years ago with Shake It for Wii in 2008.

That and I hope they can do what they did with Pauline for Captain Syrup. The pirate lady herself is the first female main antagonist of the Mario franchise and she deserves her own Pauline-style comeback to the franchise as a mainstay character.

I got ROB today!

It looks ALMOST as good as Xenoblade.

@OdnetninAges
It's a bit different. Smash Bros is entirely about gaming and video game characters. Every character in Smash is from a video game.

Sonic Racing adding SpongeBob and TMNT just feels out of left field and doesn't fit at least to me. I have no issue with the Sega characters like Joker and AiAi but the Nick characters are genuinely out of place here because unlike Pac-Man and Mega Man, they have very little to do with Sonic at all.

I'm more excited for them than the entire season pass since I don't give a lick about Minecraft or Nick stuff. Tangle and Whisper are great characters and I highly recommend reading or listening to audio dubs of the IDW comics on YouTube.

Not sure about the rest of you, but I prefer playing as Sonic characters in my Sonic game.

I actually don't know who this is which has me more excited. It's more interesting when I don't recognize every big actor.

Maybe if they made Valkyria Chronicles 5 instead of bad mobile slop this wouldn't have happened.

@OdnetninAges
God I would love Valkyria Chronicles. Welkin in an Edelweiss tank car or Selveria on a Valkyria-themed extreme gear would be perfect. Persona and Yakuza are fine but Sega really needs to acknowledge their actual best RPG series again.

And that aside, as someone who grew up with the Riders games, it's nice to see Aiai back in a game with the extreme gear boards again.

@thenikdavies
There's a new Fire Emblem coming. We'll be fine. Nintendo has always focused on multiplayer gaming.

Good to hear that this is an option though I plan to just buy the Digital Switch 2 version myself.

I can't wait because I've been dying for a new monster tamer game.

Finally. I have 3000 hours in Overwatch on Switch. Finally having 60fps is going to be the equivalent of Might Guy unlocking the 8th Gate for me.

Well at this rate, we might get the game on Switch 2 with all the DLC included as a complete edition thanks to how long it's taking.

I'm in no rush and there are other games to play. Take your time.

Once again this really paints a picture of how colossal of a failure the Wii U actually was. This poor thing only managed about 13 million consoles sold in FIVE YEARS while the Switch 2 has casually beaten that in six months.

@Buizel
Sonic Riders too don't forget. Those games were peak.

Sonic just doesn't have the best reputation despite the movies being great. His games are not consistently good so a lot of people were hesitant to spend 70+ bucks on a racing game with his face on it especially after Team Sonic Racing flopped hard. Sonic is not Mario and will never be Mario. Shoving Minecraft abd random Nickelodeon characters into it just wasn't it either.

I just hope this doesn't mean they'll cut support for the game but I wouldn't be surprised.

Fire Emblem easily. It's one of the reasons why I got the system..

Doesn't surprise me at all. This game was technically impressive on Switch 1 but was borderline unplayable. The Switch 2 edition with 60fps is how the game should actually be played. I'm also happy that they at least kept it running long enough and offered players a way to keep their current account on their new console.

Much better than what happened to Paladins. Hi-Rez straight up deleted the game from Switch and we still have no way of playing it.

Uncensor the game and then I'll buy it.

If they drop a proper Switch 2 edition I would legit replay the game over. Eternal is one of the best shooters I've ever played and getting it to run on Switch 1 was a miracle but I'd love to experience it at 60fps handheld.

As long as we get Double Dash I don't really care.

Also hoping they can get permission from Sega to put Sonic Adventure 1/2, Sonic Heroes, and Sonic Riders on this service. The Sonic Advance Trilogy and Sonic Battle for the GBA too.

@Sindayl
But what upsets me is that as I said, there are loads upon loads of female Sonic characters to choose from. It's not like they just don't have any. There's plenty. I didn't even mention Sally Acorn or Bunnie Rabbot who are also fan favorites.

Nintendo has finally gotten better about this what with giving Peach her own game again (Showtime), putting Daisy in Mario Wonder and Smash, giving Rosalina big focus with the new movie, and giving Pauline a major role in DK Bananza. I just wish Sega treated their female Sonic characters with the same level of respect and care.

Please continue to add more female characters. The fact that the Sonic roster only has 6 out of 23 (Amy, Rouge, Cream, Wave, Blaze, and Sage) at launch is disappointing. Yes we're getting Tangle and Whisper but Sega can do better. It's not like there's a lack of Sonic girls to pick from or anything.

There's Honey the Cat, Marine the Racoon, Sticks the Badger, Zeena the Zeti, Ariem the Ram, Trip the Sungazer, and more IDW girls like Lanolin the Sheep, Surge the Tenrec, Jewel the Beetle, and Belle the Tinkerer. There's likely more I haven't even listed here either.

I like playing it, but this game's roster needs more variety.

Cool. I'll be heavily investing into games from other companies then.

Can't wait to see what they do with Silver and Blaze!
