I've been enjoying my time with Trails on Switch 2, but the framerate drops are noticeable. Let's hope that they can patch it. I'm about 20 hours in and game itself has been great (my first trails game).
On the other hand, have anyone had e-mail that their order has been shipped? Nintendo had charged my card, but now I'm wondering if I can get it on Thursday. Do Nintendo usually deliver pre-orders on time?
I don't buy that many 1st party Nintendo games that I can't afford to pay 80 or 90 euros for it. Like, one or two per year. All other games I can wait for price drop.
I finished Xenoblade Chronicles X this week, so I started Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. It's my first Atelier game (it was on sale). I'm about 5 hours in, and I'm not yet very 'in' the game. Let's see how it goes.
Well, Nintendo's business model is pretty simple. Games sell consoles. It didn't work for Xbox, because their 1st party lineup is not as good (as much as I love Halo and Gears). But Nintendo have so strong 1st party lineup that it sells consoles easily nowadays, when they don't have separate handheld division.
I may be weird, but I believe that successful launch only need one big, good game. And Breath of the Wild was awesome launch title (and I'm not even a Zelda fan). So I voted for Switch. I still think that Halo CE is best launch game of all time.
@Serpenterror That's very unlikely. I'll believe that Switch 1 will get MP4 and Pokémon Legends and that's it. 3rd parties, they may support it a bit longer.
I see no reason why WWHD wasn't released on Switch 1. So I don't believe that it will release on Switch 2 either. More so with NSO version. If they don't do MP2 remake, I hope that they at least put it on NSO.

Downfall started with 6th edition.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Play NES Games These Days?
Pretty much only NES game I play is Super Mario Bros 3.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (18th October)
I finished Trails in the Sky last weekend, so now I'm playing (reading..?) Fate/stay night remastered.
I'm about 2/3 in Fate route, if memory serves correctly.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (11th October)
Still playing Trails in the Sky. I'll think I finish it this weekend, I'm probably near the end.

Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Remain Steady Amidst Trails In The Sky Surge
I've been enjoying my time with Trails on Switch 2, but the framerate drops are noticeable. Let's hope that they can patch it. I'm about 20 hours in and game itself has been great (my first trails game).
Re: Anniversary: Celebrate Unova As Pokémon Black & White Turns 15
15 years ago. Feels like a whole different life.

Roaslina for the win!
Re: Review: Yakuza 0: Director's Cut (Switch 2) - A Series Highlight That's Never Looked Or Played Better
This is only Yakuza game that I have finished. I don't think that I double dib with this, but I highly recommend it.
Re: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Footage Shows 60fps Gameplay For Switch 2
But the real question is: what is framerate when you are surfing in the rain?
Re: Review: STEAM-HEART'S Saturn Tribute (Switch) - A Disappointing Return For A Notoriously Saucy Shooter
Yeah, no Japanese language, no deal.
Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Updated Mario Kart World's Switch 2 File Size
@MegaVel91 That's rough, man. Let's hope that everyone who wants one can get it as soon as possible.
Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Updated Mario Kart World's Switch 2 File Size
On the other hand, have anyone had e-mail that their order has been shipped? Nintendo had charged my card, but now I'm wondering if I can get it on Thursday. Do Nintendo usually deliver pre-orders on time?
Re: Feature: "We’re Very Confident" - CD Projekt Red On Delivering The Full Cyberpunk 2077 Experience On Switch 2
It's a good game. But I don't think that I buy it. I bought it once already (for a full price) and completed it, twice.
Re: Talking Point: With Prices Rising, Are Your Gaming Habits Changing?
I don't buy that many 1st party Nintendo games that I can't afford to pay 80 or 90 euros for it. Like, one or two per year.
All other games I can wait for price drop.
Re: Opinion: Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance
I'm very interested of quality of this port. Game itself, not so much.
Re: Oops, Yuji Horii Might May Not Have Leaked Massive Remake News After All
Well, I knew it. Can't they just release it as it is?
Re: Rumour: Yuji Horii Might Have Let Slip Some Massive Remake News
I'll believe it when I see it.
Re: Video: Here's Another Look At The Lord Of The Rings 'Tales Of The Shire' Game
Eh, looks pretty.. bad?
Re: You Can Now Hide Those Naughty Hentai Games On Switch
I fear nothing.
Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller
I hope that it's a good controller. But it is ugly. Why not all black like Switch 1 pro controller?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th April)
I finished Xenoblade Chronicles X this week, so I started Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. It's my first Atelier game (it was on sale). I'm about 5 hours in, and I'm not yet very 'in' the game. Let's see how it goes.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Update Now Live (Version 1.0.2), Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Well, I just finished the game this week. But only problem I encountered was some crashes. Good thing there is generous autosave.
Re: Opinion: Steam Deck Fans Are Seriously Underestimating The Switch 2
Well, Nintendo's business model is pretty simple. Games sell consoles. It didn't work for Xbox, because their 1st party lineup is not as good (as much as I love Halo and Gears). But Nintendo have so strong 1st party lineup that it sells consoles easily nowadays, when they don't have separate handheld division.
Re: Switch 2 GameCube Controller Compatible With Other Games, But There May Be Some "Issues"
@Serpenterror I agree. And analog triggers are only good in racing games, and very few others.
Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO
Would be lovely if we got Rogue Squadron II, but, well, yeah. Snowballs chance in hell.
Re: Tired Of Pro Controller Charge Times? The Switch 2 Model Is A Huge Step Up
Could have used those gl/gr buttons for Xenoblade Chronicles X for choosing arts in combat.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th April)
Xenoblade Domination X.
Re: MicroSD Express Cards Are Selling Out Thanks To Switch 2 Fever
I ordered 256gb card from local shop April 4th. And I'm still waiting.
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Party Jamboree Rolls Its Way To Another Victory
@UltimateOtaku91 I don't doubt that. I just assumed that Japanese sales would be higher. Like, much higher.
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Party Jamboree Rolls Its Way To Another Victory
Are PS5 gamers buying their games digitally, or is it as bad as it seems? Monster Hunter sales are.. bad. Very bad.
Re: Another Fire Emblem Soundtrack Looks To Be Joining Nintendo Music
Its not Three Houses, but I take what I can. Tbf, I think Engage have pretty good soundtrack after all.
Re: Review: Lunar Remastered Collection (Switch) - Two Of The Most Charming RPGs Ever Get A Fair, If Flawed, Port
@Orpheus79V Well, I understand enough to make the difference. It's been years from my japanese lessons, but still.
Re: Review: Lunar Remastered Collection (Switch) - Two Of The Most Charming RPGs Ever Get A Fair, If Flawed, Port
Does it have dual audio? "Hit and miss" English voice acting is not how I want to play JRPGs.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th April)
I will continue my journey with Xenoblade Chronicles X. Just completed chapter 5.
Re: Random: Nintendo Nearly Parked Mario Kart: Double Dash's Dual-Driver Hook
I rate it somewhere near bottom, below Mario Kart 64.
Re: Nintendo: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Is A "Canonical Tale"
Canon or not, I don't really care about this game.
Re: Talking Point: Does Switch 2 Have Nintendo's Best Launch Line-Up Ever?
I may be weird, but I believe that successful launch only need one big, good game. And Breath of the Wild was awesome launch title (and I'm not even a Zelda fan). So I voted for Switch.
I still think that Halo CE is best launch game of all time.
Re: Poll: Did You Get A Switch 2 Purchase Invite From Nintendo Yet? (Europe)
Got mine yesterday. Ordered bundle, pro controller and gamecube controller.
Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 'GameCube Controller Adapter' Compatibility Confirmed
I have two wired controllers. Probably will use them for Smash and some NSO gamecube games.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
@HaroGenkide I think gradually. There is queue after you click your invite link.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
I got mine. I pre-ordered Mario Kart bundle, pro controller and gamecube controller, total 670€.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
@TrogdorTheBurninator Yes or pre-order from finland, we have Mario Kart bundle for 649€ (over 700$), there's enough for everyone!
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
@ChessboardMan Same here. Let's just wait and see I guess.
Re: Switch 2 Game-Key Cards Aren't Tied To Nintendo Accounts
PC gaming has been all digital over two decades, and both Sony and MS have consoles without disc drives. Physical game media is coming to its end.
Re: Don't Worry, Hollow: Knight Silksong Is Still Coming To The Original Switch
@Serpenterror That's very unlikely. I'll believe that Switch 1 will get MP4 and Pokémon Legends and that's it. 3rd parties, they may support it a bit longer.
Re: Don't Worry, You Won't Lose Your Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island On Switch 2
@Novamii I believe it is all or nothing, but I guess we'll see.
Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?
I see no reason why WWHD wasn't released on Switch 1. So I don't believe that it will release on Switch 2 either. More so with NSO version. If they don't do MP2 remake, I hope that they at least put it on NSO.
