@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!
@Fighting_Game_Loser I only tried out the offline mode initially, but now that I've tested the online mode I'm stuck "looking for an opponent". I also tried to get online with Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and got the same result. Offline modes seem to be working.
@John_Deacon As mentioned on EG, Harmony was believed to have been in development during the Wii U era and "all development stopped prior to" work on MP4.
@FragRed Vibrant Visuals (a new graphics upgrade) is now being rolled out on select platforms in this latest update. It's still in the test phase and Switch hasn't received it, so maybe we'll get it on Switch 2.
@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.
@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."
@YunoboCo That's not a mistake, that quote was taken directly from a Nintendo PR (in another part of the world) where the game is coming out in summer 2025.
For the sake of consistency (and to avoid further confusion), I have updated the quote to match the social post included.
@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!
@LadyCharlie Yes, it will be a toggle and runs locally - so you can have it activated while playing with others in the same server who don't have it activated.
@drypaphmrbro We can use different images on certain parts of our profiles. This throwback to Animal Crossing was made by a friend a long time ago (as far as I remember) - so it's kind of special, and I like being able to show it off on NL.

Re: Pikmin 3 Deluxe's New Update Fixes Screen Flicker Issue When Playing On Switch 2
I've updated the headline here after looking at some of the issues with the game on Switch 2.
As mentioned in the post (and by @DaGoldenBoo) this was marked on Nintendo's list of games with compatibility issues planned to be resolved.
It will be interesting to see how the game runs now that this new patch is live.
