Quite often these individual game Directs have been paired with an Indie showcase or Partners Showcase within a week or so. Wonder if that's the case now as well?

I've been playing some Wind Waker as well through NSO and am I the only one who thinks the controls feel... off? Like, the analogue stick movement of character and camera on Pro Controller is just super finicky and accelerates super quickly even with a tiny movement.

@Dimey Nope, 50cc is awfully slow. I just play them on 150cc and thankfully it counts for 50cc and 100cc as well.

I'm not 100% convinced about this game yet. It seems fun but something that would get repetitive very fast. Hope I'm wrong, and to be fair, I'm sure there's still a lot that they haven't shown.

Misleading title since the update doesn't seem to have anything to do with Switch 2.

@karatekid1612 Perhaps. The performance was fine, but the online multiplayer had some serious warping. So they'd really need to improve their netcode.

FAST RMX had online multiplayer and it was... quite bad to be honest. I don't really mind Fusion being local multiplayer only.

How do you even manage to do that? 😅

No need, I already have over 4k coins without grinding for them.

@larryisaman I think a lot of the developers didn't even get dev kits before launch, so I'd expect a lot more 3rd party games in late 2025 and early 2026.

I think the game itself is fine, and arguably better than the Switch version. If you take price out of the equation, it would review favourably.

Okay, so after trying it out myself, I think it's fair to say that the performance is indeed perfect. Seems like the (first) video linked in this article had some issues with their capture card. Zero stutters in reality.

@Olliemar28 Weird question, but do you have HDR on? I've noticed that the screenshots from Fast Fusion are super bright and washed out, and I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I have HDR on.

We'll just have to wait and see how they last. Either way, I'm interested about the Pro Controller sticks as well.

Hardly convincing evidence considering that they were downloading a ton of games while playing. Does it have any impact? No idea, but I wouldn't rule that out.

I hope it doesn't try to download everything after doing the transfer. Can't fit 512GB worth of games to the system storage, and I'd prefer personally picking what it starts to download.

I will be buying Switch 2 but I will be keeping my Switch OLED. Should be great for indies and other lighter games even in the future.

I'd rather get Tetris The Grand Master 4 - Absolute Eye on Switch 2. It's been out on PC for a couple of months, so it would make a lot of sense to release it on Switch 2 when it's still fresh.

Mario Kart World, Fast Fusion and the Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition for me. Also need to get a Switch 2 carry case and Pro Controller.

The button switching is certainly a cool gimmick, but only a gimmick. That said, I really do enjoy my Gamesir Cyclone 2 (which I use only on PC though). Great controller.

@undeadly Come on now, sarcasm isn't necessary in this case. Codemasters has been doing pretty darn good job with F1 games.

I'm sure it could run it just fine, but the lack of analogue triggers is kind of bad news for racing games.

@BlueBCA Yeah, I know. My point is, wired is super convenient because you don't have to worry about pairing the controller (which can sometimes be annoying). Some controllers also have crappy USB ports that become loose over time.

I kind of like the fact that it's wired but lack of rumble and gyro ruins this for me.

I refuse to even consider the thought of Mario Kart Tour being Mario Kart 9. That game is the worst Mario Kart game by far.

I don't know enough about law to know if they have a case, but either way, I will not be supporting Epic about this.

@Dimey Well, it beats buying a very expensive arcade board and getting it working. It's not cheap, but the price doesn't seem that unreasonable.

@Ryu_Niiyama Well, 8bitdo does allow you to modify the button remapping in their software. So for example, you could make those bean shaped buttons function as additional directions. Not sure if they allow you to make them input arbitrary angles on analogue sticks, though.

By the way, leverless controllers are great for platformers in addition to fighting games. And Tetris. Well, most 2D games that don't require analogue control.

Looks excellent. I have a bunch of leverless controllers already, but this is very tempting because of the aesthetic alone.

Thanks, but no thanks.

@sanderev I'm sure some will but it's up to the developers to choose how they use their time and money. Mario Maker would make a lot of sense at least.

@PikaPhantom Give it time. Even if 64GB and Game Key Cards are the only options right now (which I'm not 100% confident is the case), I'm pretty sure they will bring at least 32GB soon enough as well. Hopefully some smaller cards as well for Indie releases.

I was worried that the new magnetic attachment system would mean waiting a long time for 3rd party accessories, but I'm glad to be proved wrong.

Kind of a necessary evil for a system used by kids. They couldn't add a video chat feature without moderation without it being used for shady things. As long as you can opt-out, it's fine.

Yes, it's a bit ugly, but also looks way more comfortable to hold than Switch and most of the currently available PC handhelds.

@RudyC3 120fps actually makes a big difference in 2D games by improving motion clarity. Arguably bigger difference than in most 3D games.

Seems like a very unprofessional translator.

Excellent addition!

Oh wow, I did not expect Split Fiction to be that big.

@Burning_Spear I don't understand why people assume Shin'en would want that. They have their independence, their own racing game series and full control over what to do with it. Sounds good to me!

@Andy_Witmyer People (including Digital Foundry) expect certain quality from DLSS that the Cyberpunk on Switch 2 doesn't quite reach. The fact that Cyberpunk is using it is not really a good sign, since the image quality seems pretty soft and the performance is not particularly stable. But I'm hopeful that they'll get it in a decent shape for release. That said, it's pretty impressive that a game of this calibre is running on a handheld at all.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy Far as I know, Nintendo has only confirmed Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom upgrades to be "free" if you have the NSO Expansion pack. They haven't said anything about Metroid Prime 4 Beyond upgrade being included.

You do know that Bioshock didn't invent diving suits, right?

@croz It provides a lot of value for those who did not own GameCube (or other systems) and do not have an existing library of games for it.

I would prefer the option to buy the games similar to Virtual Console, but it's silly to claim that NSO offers no value. There are over 300 games there if you have the Expansion pack (some of which through the Japanese app, though). Even the standard subscription has over 200 games these days. To me, online play is the main reason to subscribe, but the retro games are a pretty darn great bonus.

@molkom Even if these controllers had Hall-effect sticks and were bullet proof, they wouldn't say that "drift is a thing of the past" because they can't guarantee that. In the off-chance that Hall-effect sticks would start drifting after a few years, that would make their statement misleading and could cause legal issues.

@Anti-Matter Nah, it's going to be fine. Look, I get it, people are not satisfied with the pricing. It seems to me like people are trying to find something to complain about only to justify their own anger.

However, as we've already seen multiple times (with stuff like Game Key Cards etc), there's been a lot of misinformation about it. Yes, Nintendo has messed up with some of their communication. But people really need to learn some patience and wait a bit before storming the internet with their "Nintendo is doomed" and "this is Wii U again" rants.

It's already been confirmed that you can move save data from original Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom to the Switch 2 Edition, so this may just mean that you can't use the same save data directly but instead need to import it through game or something. Same note on DK Bananza's page seems like a mistake, though.

Anyway, people should calm down and wait until we have confirmation about it. This wouldn't be the first time people have jumped the gun about something Switch 2 related, only for it to turn out to be false information.

@TerribleTerabytes I suggest you take a look at the images on this article. There clearly are contained arenas, not just race tracks like in Mario Kart 8 (non-Deluxe). Far as I know, they didn't state anything about the available options for the two confirmed modes. They didn't even explicitly state that there are only two modes (and of course, more could be added as DLC).

I've had LG C2 for two years and I've been extremely happy with it. Don't see a reason to upgrade anytime soon.
