Re: LEGO Fortnite's Switch 2 Release Will Be Followed By A New Game Mode Next Week

Liam_Doolan

@Khwarezm89 @darkswabber To clarify, our game page on NL (at least for now) is simply 'Lego Fortnite' to cover this whole Lego game universe Epic has created - so the following is currently lumped under this:

  • Lego Fortnite Odyssey
  • Lego Fortnite Brick Life
  • Lego Fortnite Expeditions

@Chlocean I gave it a go earlier on - it's definitely a huge step up on the Switch version!

Re: Ubisoft's Switch 2 Physical Release Of Star Wars Outlaws Is A "Game-Key Card"

@vincentgoodwin As noted in the story, this might not be the most surprising news (to everyone), but this is the very 'first' game Ubisoft is releasing on the Switch 2 - so I'd say it is worth highlighting. It's also of general interest to the community as mentioned by @SailorDonut.

@Spider-Kev Not yet, but you can check existing listings on places like Steam and Xbox to get a rough idea.

Re: Switch 2's Dock Isn't Compatible With The Original Switch, According To Nintendo

@ProNerdy This info about the HDMI cable comes from GamesRadar+:

"an alternative accessory compatibility page specifically says you should use the Switch 2 "Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable" that's included in the box. That terminology is typically used to refer to faster HDMI 2.1 cables, but the one you'll be getting with the handheld will be HDMI 2.0 since the system won't be hitting 4K 120Hz like the PS5 or Xbox Series X."

https://www.gamesradar.com/platforms/nintendo-switch-2/nintendo-says-your-old-switch-hdmi-cable-isnt-compatible-with-the-switch-2-but-id-argue-thats-not-strictly-true-or-helpful/

Update: To avoid any further confusion, we'll go with Nintendo's official description for now "Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable".

Re: Did Donkey Kong Bananza Key Art Accidentally Leak A Big Surprise?

@N00BiSH You're not the first - it's definitely a common theory as @FishyS mentioned:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1js7zlx/pauline_has_been_spotted_on_the_donkey_kong/

https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-koreas-website-seems-to-spoil-a-huge-detail-about-donkey-kong-bananza.1156071/page-3#post-138092790

I'll always credit an NL user if they appear to have shared something (or a theory like this) first.

Re: Sega Announces Five Titles For Switch 2 "Launch Window"

Liam_Doolan

@HammerGalladeBro These are just Sega's "launch window" games for Switch 2. Keep in mind, the system launch is June and right now CrossWorlds doesn't even have a release date.

I will add, this is going to be quite the year for arcade racing fans with Mario Kart, Sonic and also Kirby now!
