Thank god they spent 69 billion dollar on Activision /s

You know, when I saw the thumbnail for the article I thought it would be for a Switch 2 version/patch for XCX

But anyway, absolutely deserved. Honestly has to be my favorite developer out there

@MicroMatscenes Not a fan of review bombing myself but I wouln't consider the inability to easily play the traditional tracks online as "insignificant"

All I can say is that it looks fine in action and that is all that matters to me

Rosalina in her Touring outfit for me. Used her in 150cc in MK8 as well (but not in 200cc, there I used Dry Bones)

You mispelled her name in the poll btw

@BlaizeV Maybe they simply prefer the bigger Switch (OLED)
Just because they like handhelds doesn't mean that they have to buy the handheld-only Switch

If I'd only play in handheld-mode and were to buy a Switch I'd buy the Switch OLED because the screen is bigger + better

Not adding a donkey transformation is a missed opportunity

@johnedwin Money

Boy, I sure hope they announce a new Smash Bros in this DK Bananza Direct

@batmanbud2 One of the very few times I've seen on Youtube where a sponsor actually made sense

John Marston for DK Bananza confirmed

No, I played all cups in order first (and managed to get 3 stars on some of them) because I wanted to see all tracks

After that I tried to get 3 stars on the remaining cups

"We believe PS5-level performance is required to achieve a great experience on big screens. And in this way, we have provided a unique offering for players and creators in this current console generation."

What does he mean by "unique"? The Xbox Series X is about as powerful as the PS5 and PCs can even be way more powerful, doesn't seem all that unique to me

"Strangely, no Mouse Mode support (though this isn't a Switch 2 Edition), but at least you'll be able to play with friends online regardless of whether they're on Switch 1 or 2."

I mean that would be a very heavy disadvantage for Switch players if Switch 2 players could use mouse controls

@Spaceman44 They are talking about the sales of Hogwarts Legacy on those plattforms, not the actual console sales themself

@johnedwin And here I though that the Switch 2 outsold the Switch in just 4 days

Jokes aside, yes while there are probably quite a lot people who actually bought HL for their Switch I still think that people bought the Switch version to upgrade to the Switch 2 version.

For example I could buy a brand new copy for the Switch for 35€ and upgrade for 10€, or I could buy the Switch 2 version for 55€. The former saves me 10€

"Hogwarts Legacy takes second place, though oddly enough, Switch 2 sales actually lag behind Switch 1 and PS5."

I'd guess that buying the Switch version + 10£ upgrade is cheaper than buying the Switch 2 version

I think they should have called it Xbox Rog Allx X because that way it would fit with the rest of their (ridiculous) naming scheme:

• Xbox One X
• Xbox Series X
• Xbox Rog Ally X

Anyway, I wonder how many people think that this is an actual Xbox handheld when in reality it is an Windows handheld with Xbox branding.

"Is your Switch 2 battery draining down to under 60% whilst in standby?"

I've noticed that downloading games drains the battery quite a bit, like 7% in 15 minutes or so.

But as soon as all download finished the battery drain is ok. Before I went to sleep my Switch 2 was at 100% and in the morning it was at 93%

The Switch Pro controller was my favorite controller because it is just so comfortable to hold

And the Switch 2 Pro controller is even better. It just feels so smooth to hold, is very comfortable + the new additions like the headphone jack and the back buttons are a welcome addition

It kinda smell like the Steam Deck vent (which means it smells good)

I had no clue how massive the Game Gear was. I knew that it was big but not THAT big

Thankfully mine already got shipped

@Joeynator3000 The lake which they show in the trailer is known to have an aweful framerate on Switch though

I think Reddit caps the framerate of video to 30fps because the video Serebii posted on Twitter looks a lot smoother

@Woodyshoe Yeah but the games on mobile are spin-offs specifially created for mobile and not the actual console games

@Woodyshoe Doubt it for multiple reasons:

1. I just cant imagine Nintendo putting any of their games onto PC, even if it's one of the lesser popular franchises
2. If they start putting XC or FE onto PC they'd open the floodgate to questions like "Where's Mario/Zelda/Pokemon on PC?"
3. Nintendo already has a big problem with piracy and putting their games onto PC wouldn't help with that, even if they come with something like Denuvo

MK World + CP2077 for me

Also will get BotW + TotK but I already have the Switch Online Expansion Pass so I'll get them for "free"

And also will check out Pokemon SV because I'm curious to see the game with an actual framerate

@PikminMarioKirby I agree that criticism is good

I just don't consider "product of this low quality" and "$80 would be hilarious, but $70 is still bad considering this is a rushed product" as criticism

@PikminMarioKirby Because many people like to enjoy video games instead of complaining about them

Announcing a Pokemon Presents 2 months prior certainly is a choice

One month earlier than expected. The last few Pokemon games (except PLA) all released in November

Very excited for the first Pokemon game on Switch 2

@TAndvig Probably because to most people it's a non issue

How many people who buy a Switch 2 (especially at launch) dont have access to internet?

@sanderev Yeah, I still can find multiple stores here that let you pre-order a Switch 2 and will delivery it on June 5th (at least that's what they say)

Seems like stock isn't an issue here

Man I'm so excited for the music in this game

Not only will we have song for the 32(?) tracks but also a ton of remixes of older songs during free roaming and the intermission tracks.
Like Sherbet Land in the second clip or during the treehouse gameplay I heard DK Summit and Vancouver Velocity

@darkswabber You didn't have to mention that Minecraft is 16 years old. I feel very old now

The most interesting part about this is the fact that they were actually working on an original Mario Kart for the Switch despite the immense success of MK8DX

I assume the framerate upgrade for Bowsers Fury means that the game finally runs at 60fps (or maybe even 120fps) in handheld mode. The fact that the game only ran at 30fps in handheld mode while running at 60fps docked was always a bit off putting

Also the fact that there is no confirmed update for any of the XC games (yet) is a tragedy

@LegendOfStewart I assume since those games are programmed to be able to run at 60fps (even if it barely hits that target on Switch) that the Switch 2 is simply powerful enough to run those games at a constant 60fps. Therefore no upgrade required

@Solid_Python I could definitely see Nintendo allowing devs to restrict GameChat in some way in the future in order to get more memory for the game if memory ever becomes a problem

For example on the original Switch Nintendo at some point after release started to allow devs to use a bit more power in handheld mode in order to get better performance

@Erigen Hi, I'm nobody

@Keyblade-Dan I mean isn't the fact that there hasn't been a new Pokemon game in almost 3 years a sign that they are trying to improve/take their time?

But I guess we'll have to wait and see how ZA and Gen 10 turn out

SV deserves to be the second best selling entry in the series simply because it means that SwSh isn't the second best selling entry anymore

I think this might be the first time the second Pokemon generation introduced on a console outsold the first one, no?

(although XY and SM were very close to each other)

In other words, Nintendo expects the Switch 2 to outsell the Wii U in less than a year

I really hope that there will be a Switch 2 version, or at the very least that the Switch version takes advantage of the Switch 2 (higher fps/res)

Wasn't that already kinda confirmed in the Direct when they said "Look forward to more news on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Project"?

Also it 'kinda' runs on Steam Deck and thanks to DLSS and being developed for a specific console (instead of being just the PC version) I'd expect it to run alright on Switch 2

I'm personally much more interested in a potrntial Switch 2 port of AC Shadows

Might get me to buy a AC game again (if it runs well enough), because I think they'd fit well on a handheld

No, unless its significally cheaper than buying it in the eShop

I never sell my games anyway so I dont see the point of buying a product that requires me to insert a cartridge and downloading the game instead of just downloading the game

Xenoblade

Just imagine what a XC game on Switch 2 could look like
