Metroid Prime and a new Mario will be the launch games for the new Switch in March 2024!

Just TOTK for me this weekend…..

Am kidding, still haven’t played my copy of BOTW yet! 🫣

@JONOFTHEJONS Thanks. I don’t want it on mobile, but if it looks like this on Switch then I would be interested to give it a try.

Is that trailer footage from the Switch version? Looks too good/crisp to be Switch? 🤔

I really enjoy playing this game, even if it is very simple like Animal Crossing. In some ways it’s better than AC, much more to do and see.

Are we sure that was underground? Looked like a dark forest or something to me but then I don’t have the best eyesight.

To me it’s not what he says but his facial expressions and mannerisms as he says it….there is definitely a new game coming this year I would say and my guess is it will also involve Luigi.

Anyone saying the Wii version looks better needs to go and see an eye doctor. 🤣

Why do these Zelda games look so washed out compared to other Switch games?

I guess that footage is from PS/Xbox?

@Anti-Matter and there he is….

A company that was founded in 1889 wouldn’t still be around if it wasn’t professional.

It is 3pm….here anyway.

Would love to see even some sort of tiny tease that a DKC game was coming at some point.

They will have some surprises that they are not mentioning yet.

@antimatter, Jesus every post I see from you is a complaint….

“ If turn-based tactics aren't you're thing”

Your not you’re!

If there’s one thing I really hate about this site it’s the heello there you lovely people from Alex every single damn time….change the record!

Lol at the people here who clearly don’t understand what a fan-made homage is.

It looks great.

Tried the demo yesterday but couldn’t get into it, not for me. Don’t like those blurry graphics and too much dialogue for my liking. Hope it does well though for those who like that kind of stuff.

@MarsOne Me too so far although not played much on it yet. But for that price it’s a great little performer!

The Series S is capable of 1440P/60FPS.

After recently getting a Xbox Series S I often find myself wishing Nintendo would finally bring out a 4K Switch. They should launch it at the end of this year alongside BOTW2 or Metroid.

But will it stand the test of TIME? Only TIME will tell…

And yes, Skyward Sword just looks so dated! No thanks.

Have to say I am very disappointed. I wanted 4K and better performance more than anything else. Have always only had Nintendo consoles and probably always will but when I look at footage of PS5 or even PS4 games it frustrates me that we can't have that for Zelda, Mario etc. They could have released a Pro alongside the normal Switch and let people decide which one they want.

Have to say, even more underwhelming than I expected!

@sketchturner It makes me want to slap him. 😂

@Andy_Witmyer yep I know. But familiarity also breeds contempt haha. It's soooo annoying. 🤣

Honestly, I can't watch his videos because I hate the stupid hello there lovely people on every single video..... Give it a rest man.

Wow, it's everything I hoped for and more!

I had a go of the demo and it's not for me but I don't understand the comment about muddy resolution. It's one of the best looking games I have seen on the Switch so far.

Am I the only one who is is sick of hearing the hello all you lovely people line?!

Two things I never understand:

1) People saying they don't have a 4K tv yet. They're quite cheap these days.

2) People saying they can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p and between 1080p and 4K. If you look at a good PS4 Pro game like Horizon Dawn it's impossible not to see how much better it looks than a 1080p game.

3) Turns out there are threee things I don't understand! When people say the Switch games look rubbish on their 4K tv. Mine look great! I don't know if my tv is already doing some kind of upscaling but usually the graphics are crisp and detailed. When they are not it's down to the game itself, i.e. AC has parts that look great and parts that look more jaggedy/blurry. But that's because they were lazy in the programming.

@TryToBeHopeful I know, it baffles me! I've never played a game as much as I have played this one. Except perhaps for some of the Zelda series. I think it's amazing value for money even if I'm not playing every single day anymore. I still enjoy coming back in for the events even though some/most aren't very exciting. I would welcome more puzzle_based events similar to the one where you had to go through a maze. But otherwise, it's been great so far! I never played any of the previous AC games so I have nothing to compare it with but all this 'it should have this and why doesn't it?' attitude is silly to me. There's no written law saying it has to contain everything previous entries had. I just look forward to any update we get.

@Why_Do_I_Exist
Because you don't 'bring' it, you buy it.

True, but the gap will be a lot bigger by the end of the year.

Surely handheld technology for Switch could display 1080p and 60fps by the end of 2020/early 2021?!

I'm not saying the current switch has to have it but they could surely create a 4K dock or something that at least upscales to 4K while docked. Or they should just release a new powerful 'Pro' just like we have the PS4 Pro. You can still play the games on the normal PS4 and the Pro games simply Benefit from the extra power. Why can't we have the same Scenario with Switch?

Exactly, 4K when docked and 1080P handheld is my idea of a proper Pro.

I agree with jarvis, if they don't upgrade substantially then the gap with the new PS5 is going to be huge and developers will have less interest in trying to make games fit on the Switch.

The Switch is in its third year now so surely their next console must support 4K but whether that will be an upgraded Switch or a completely new console I don't know. All I know is come December and the release of the new PS and Xbox the Switch is going to start looking VERY outdated.

Well I would love 4K support. I think the Resolution on Nintendo's own titles is good (Mario Kart, Odyssey, Smash etc.) but when you see a PS4 Pro game running I can't help wishing for a Zelda with 4K and HDR support. I Play mostly on the tv for those Kind of games. For handheld I would want 1080p.

@Cyrax77

Never played them and you know they don't make you feel anything? Right....

@suikoden proven? Source?

I only got Mario Kart a couple of weeks ago. I figured who needs another Mario Kart, but it looks gorgeous and is fun even for someone like me who's rubbish at it.

It's so clearly the same person! His nose looks the same too if you put glasses on the second picture. His hair is even the same style but the second one seems to have been taken in a mirror of a lift so the parting is on the other side.
