I'm so sad it got announced. I wished for it to be a proper Switch 2 title. It looks so good on Switch, I would have absolutely loved to see how amazing it would look on a more powerful hardware.
It launches in 2025, the year of the Switch 2's release. We waited 7 years, more like 8 by the time it releases. We can wait a few more months.

I sincerely hope it won't appear in June's Direct. I don't want this game on the Switch. I want it on the Switch 2.
We waited 7 years, a few more months is nothing.

Pfffffft

We live in an era where people, even journalists, trust and relay random false info from random sources...

After all these weeks people still don't get that Nintendo isn't after emulators, they're after Yuzu since it has been proven multiple times it's illegal. Not because it's an emulator (emulators are legal and Nintendo can't and will never do anything to delete them) but because they use pirated games and official stolen SDK from Nintendo during development.
No matter how much you cry in the comment section about the code being still there, no one wants it. It's toxic, radioactive, no sane person with enough knowledge and skill to continue development wants to spend thousands of hours on this.
Be grateful that there was a competitor from the start (Ryujinx) and therefore Switch emulation isn't dead. If Yuzu still works for your games, use it. It's not a problem. But it's dead and won't receive any meaningful updates anymore.

Cool. I don't believe it. The current dock does support 4k resolution. What doesn't is the switch operating system, it only renders and output up to 1080p. In fact, the switch hardware does support 4k resolution output as well, you can access these resolutions using another operating system like Android or Linux (some crazy people even played switch games on an emulator on Linux on the switch and it can play some games at 4k this way, crazy).

@LadyCharlie It's so easy to be biased on the Internet. « Yay Nintendo bad emulators good ». The world is never as simple as one wants. What you probably don't know is that Suyu is a very shady emulator. Not only is follows the work of Yuzu which was in parts illegal (using pre-released games to debug), but also some people of the Suyu team who were studying the code found that the Yuzu team used official Nintendo SDK to make some parts of Yuzu. This is highly illegal and an actual infringement of Nintendo's IP, and justifies their action no matter how much you hate Nintendo's legal team. There's a reason Ryujinx didn't get attacked by Nintendo at all. Nintendo can't kill a legal emulator even with their power. It's not Nintendo against the emulators, it's Nintendo against actual thieves.
Multiple Suyu devs are leaving because of that, it's a « radioactive » emulator as one of the devs said.

Therefore, any Yuzu fork will be as illegal as Yuzu. You should just run away from this emulator and use Ryujinx. Emulators are amazing and a must have in the current situation of companies not doing the job of preservation. But anything illegal should be shut down.

If you still support them it's your choice obviously, but at least be aware that you're supporting an illegal emulator (as opposed to almost all the other emulators which are legal).

Good bye friend 🫡

Reminder that Nintendo still hasn't done any price cut for the Switch. A $50 or $100 price reduction at the end of the Switch's life will sell a lot more than 20M units.
They probably don't care, but if they did, they have an easy way to be first.

Before: Buy the third version for $40 and get the best experience of the current generation
Now: Buy the base game $60 and another $30 for the DLC to get the best experience of the current gen

In 2009, the N64 was retro.
In 2024, the 3DS is retro.

Gen 10 is going to be a PowerPoint presentation for $70 and it will sell 30M copies.
Trust me my sloth works at GameFreak.

They won't comment because further investigation is needed. If the Pals were really designed by AI which has Pokemon images in its training dataset, then Pokemon can sue them. If not, they can't do anything.

Pokemon ripped off animals why isn't nature suing them?

Why do people gladly spend over $1k every two years for upgrading their phones (which is useless, you're not texting or watching YouTube faster) but not half of it on a video game console that will last over 7 years?

I hope this will be a cross gen title or at least that the Switch 2 is backwards compatible.

@Kienda You're forgetting two major points.
1. Hall effect joysticks ("drift-free") exist since the DreamCast, but they were bulky. Very bulky. You can't fit them in a joycon no matter how much you want. Part of R&D is to make these more compact and yet still reliable enough. Nuclear reactors are almost a century old technology and yet we don't have them in the switch to power it, screw Nintendo and their money saving cuts!
2. 20 years later (ie. not long ago) there's a single (1) company that achieved Hall effect joycons sticks, and if you ever used one you can see they are nothing like Nintendo's one in term of quality: cracking sounds, lower accuracy, first versions even had a hole that let dust enter in the joycon, ... Yeah, it doesn't drift, but that doesn't mean it's the ultimate solutions and doesn't have its own issues.

Nintendo isn't trying to cheap out on material with this one. They're trying to make a joystick that hopefully doesn't drift without using the Hall effect because of size constraints. And if this allows for dynamic resistance it's something impossible with a Hall effect joystick.

The current situation with the Switch is indeed poorly managed, but the fact they're fixing the issue and providing a new feature at the same time is at least a sign of progression. They could have kept the same sticks and keep selling joycons...
I don't think this solution is cheaper than a Hall effect based one. There are magnets in both which is the most expensive part. The difference is a Hall effect sensor (two in fact) for the latter, and a magnetorheological fluid for the former. Probably not much.
Nintendo likes to cheap out but this is definitely not such a case. The rumored LCD screen is however definitely a bummer after the beautiful OLED Switch.

The improvements of using a (let's say) 2022 Nvidia chip instead of a 2015 one PLUS using techniques like DLSS is obviously a big jump in performance without compromising battery life. But I doubt any handheld device could ever do PS5-like graphics even with techniques like DLSS. It's probably not far, as always what makes a game look better past a certain point of performance are in the details, but definitely don't hope for a portable PS5 anytime soon. There's a reason Sony's PlayStation Portal is just a streaming device.
What excites me the most is the ability to finally get GC and Wii NSO with that much more power. And if the backward compatibility is present this is also huge since the system wouldn't even try to run these games, we could get like 10+ hours of battery life on Switch games, and hopefully 5+ on new games.

What? A game studio is currently developing games? That's unheard of!

@Sentenza It's amazing how much they messed up even after delaying twice the pre-orders and seeing what happened in the US...

@Tom3 And even if you were able to pre-order, please complain to Nintendo. What happened is inexcusable and a terrible experience for both the lucky ones and the unlucky ones.

Maybe it's because I'm on the French My Nintendo Store but my order isn't marked as shipped, but as a pre-order, and it will start shipping the 21st. Also, I was charged 0€ for now, and my credit card will be debited when my collector edition will be sent.

It's the first time I'm ordering on the My Nintendo Store so I hope this doesn't mean that I didn't get the collector edition and it's juste Nintendo saying "you didn't pay, you won't get it"...

I wish the best of luck to everyone still trying to get their copy of the collector edition.

@Sentenza THANK YOU SO MUCH !
I managed to get it, it seems to be in stock in France at least !

@Inazuma_Jin They want us to be stuck in the endless now
