Every Wii game was compatible with Wii U. There was a complete Wii inside Wii U or the so called vWii. They actually used 1 of the 3 cores from Wii U CPU for the Wii. That was a special case and a very special hardware.
The Switch 2 is a complete new hardware and Switch 1 games are running through emulation on it.
It looks pretty nice. But playing that demo tutorial, I'm not convinced yet. Also Sonic Racing Crossworlds comes to Switch 2 soon. That's already 2 good fun racers. I don't think I will need this game here as well.
The fact, that coop is only online already annoyed me in the demo. This would have been perfect for couch coop. Another thing is the politics about the remaster of LN1. I'm a bit pissed and won't buy it at release
The imagination alone, that people prefer buying this in the e-shop instead of getting the cartridge is so weird. I don't understand why people do this. Is it just lazyness?
Very nice. So they are now finally doing more quality controllers on Switch 2 as well. Maybe I'll get one of these. I won't buy Nintendos overpriced controllers with no hall effect modules.
@The-Chosen-one quit day dreaming. It's not above Series S, it's below. I guess you didn't watch Digital Foundrys analysis of Cronos and Star Wars Outlaws. In both cases, Switch 2 can't handle it like the Series S. On Star Wars, objects and details are missing on Switch 2. In handheld mode, the world(like grasses) is just stale and not moving. And Cronos shows, how underpowered Switch 2 is with Unreal Engine 5, which was already clear before. Cronos on Switch 2 runs like on PC with "very low" details. Even Series S renders objects with higher details.
@The21zonz @Lofoten yeah I know, that it's a mobile device. And I do like the Switch 2. And the performance is a game changer compared to Switch 1. I actually now enjoy games more than before in handheld mode, because of the big and sharp display. It's just, the Switch 2 just started some months ago and it doesn't even reach the Series S. And the current Gen already reached its peak and Series S is weaker model for people with smaller budget. And Switch 2 even has issues reaching the power of Series S.
Even if the idea is kinda nice. This is garbage, people will maybe try it 1 or 2 times and that's it. Also, Switch Online expansion pass is needed. No way.
I will get it on PS5, even if prefer Xbox. But I'm collecting these on Playstation. I don't see a major shift, when the Nintendo version looks like crap.
Same is said about Little Nightmares 3. Cronos runs like on PC with details on very low.
Let's just face it. The Switch 2 isn't strong enough, history repeats. It's again or still the last tip of the consoles and it will be even worse in a few years.
@ZeldaFan83 what are you talking? Did you ever play them??? Gears 5 is one the best games ever made. The perfection of the whole series and a decade smash hit.
Not really. I would double on the 1st one, which would feel stupid. And Galaxy 2 wasn't that exciting to me. And it's not even remasters, just emulated games.
Yeah right, DK Bananza on 1st. What a joke, my biggest disappointment 2025. 😂 And why is Breath of the Wild higher rated than Tears of the Kingdom? Is it opposite day here???
@poyo_pie that's another thing. The collecting in that game is no fun and all you're collecting is for cosmetics. Even if I would complete that game, it would never return to it, I think. So I give it back.
@poyo_pie yeah absolutely. There were some short moments I enjoyed. But overall it's not satisfying playing it. I also heard from others in Germany, that they feel the same about Bananza.
@SirLink yeah, technically it looks awesome. That's true. Thanks for letting me know, that it gets stronger later. But after about 5h playtime, I don't want to go on anymore.

Didn't get it on XBox so far, so Switch 2 will be my version, I guess.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Been Updated To Version 2.0.2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Retrograde 100% true. Bananza sucks. And I felt this already in the first few hours, so I returned it.
Just a huge disappointment.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Been Updated To Version 2.0.2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Wake me up if they patch a good game into it. Like:
Version 3.0.0
Re: Video: Check Out Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 Evolution In This Side-By-Side Comparison
So basically, 60fps, less draw distance and a little bit sharper on Switch 2.
Besides that, looks almost the same.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
As every year, no interest. These are kids RPGs in my opinion.

Re: "Lighting Is The Crucial Factor" - How Square Enix Made Final Fantasy VII Remake Look Great On Switch 2
@Duncanballs I was talking about Series X and PS5, they reached their peak. I thought this was very understandable.

So yes, Switch 2 is the last place on consoles.

Re: SNK Announces ACA NEOGEO Selection Vol. 9 And Vol. 10 For Switch

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush (Switch 2) - DLC That's Ripe With Fun, But Could've Been More

Re: UK Charts: Nintendo's First-Party Switch 2 Games Continue To Dominate
DK Bananza is so disappointing. My biggest disappointment on Switch 2 so far.
It's just a repetitive game with no real Donkey Kong feeling anywhere.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 Edition and Sonic X Shadow Generations are my highlights so far, followed by Mario Kart World.
But hey, I played Metroid Prime 4 at Gamescom and it was amazing. So I guess, Bananza will be forgotten fast soon.
