Really enjoying MKW and definitely DKB.
But we need more first party AAA Nintendo NEW switch 2 games.
The only reason I have a switch 2 is for those Nintendo AAA games and I have that feeling it maybe slow coming, apart from Metroid Prime 4 there is nothing else for me.
Forget patched old switch games and small add on’s.

Third party games when you have a series x and PS5 Pro are absolutely nothing on switch 2.

They have had many years to get ready for this and unless we get a Direct showing us what’s next from Nintendo AAA in house studios it could be very dull end of 2025 and first half of 2026.

I hope they are not going the way of Sony and slowing down on first party new big switch 2 AAA games, just because they can sell consoles by doing not much and cost cutting on the way.

@SBandy1
Being honest even though a day one switch 2 owner.
I still get on my series x with GPU for those games that I want to play, like Doom dark ages and Outerworlds 2 and Ninja G 4.
It has its uses as my switch 2 will not touch these games and even if released for switch 2, nowhere near the performance of a series x.

Also a total lack of new items in the My Nintendo store to spend your silver points on.
I know the USA and Japan have new stuff.

But don’t forget the UK and I guess Europe NINTENDO.

Nintendo know it’s ready and the exact release date.
Let’s not forget the posters in the London train underground a couple of months ago.
Saying out now, mistakenly 🤣

I’m guess it is what you call
Owning a territory

@canaryfarmer
Correct as digital sales are not include and the switch 2 bundle is MKW digital download code not physical.

By far my favourite switch 2 game DKB.
Now bring on MP4
and a nice surprise of Mario Galaxy 2 HD
for the Mario 40th anniversary

@tjhiphop
Nintendo handhelds always do well in the UK.
So switch and switch 2 being handheld hybrid would do well in the UK.
The Wii Did well too.

Not my type of game souls like give me TOTK any day.
Also it’s 30fps so Boooooooo.
But glad switch 2 is getting the game for others.

DKB, so far at sub level 600 but need to go back to 500, but at 100% I think.

Let’s hope they continue to invest in studios and give us gamers some more amazing Nintendo AAA games for switch 2 like DKB.

Wow I remember my Neo Geo days going into mainly London to buy the games and exchanging some of the old ones so I could afford them.
I even had a TV that could run the system ok, which was hard to come by in the old days with the 50/60hz thing in the UK.

Towards the end of my Neo Geo days I think 2 of the last games I had was Last Resort and Top Hunter.

Well that makes a nice change someone going independent rather then getting bought up by a big firm.

Lacklustre and more so following the news of a 30fps borderlands 4 on switch 2.
I think Nintendo still have a lot of work and learning when it comes to third party top end support.
I shall continue playing the great MKW and amazing DKB and wait for MP4.

DKB, amazing game.

@Nalverus
Depends how inferior and how good the developers are with the switch 2 and things like DLSS.
60fps is so smooth and with so much less blur when panning.
TOTK looks so much better on switch 2 at 60fps when panning, and not a blur mess now.

@PolitiClank
Yep great idea

I’m very very disappointed with 30fps.
Shall not be buying now
Was looking forward to this.
Cut the cross play and give us 60fps
You have a lost a sale now at 30fps.

I’m die hard digital now a days it’s so easy no swapping out cartridges. Just grab and go.
If any console out of the big three switch and switch 2 suits digital most being a handheld as well.
I’m digital with every single bit of media I have games, music and video.
Even in my car all on a little usb stick.
Every thing is so easy and simple, push and play the convenance is genius.

@OrtadragoonX
I think like you said in docked mode you would need VRR working first then maybe try and target 60fps.

I don’t think it will happen as VRR is not working docked yet and also the developers would have to invest time trying to achieve 60fps.
Guess I will have to stick with 40fps which is ok ish.

They should get rid of the auto save stutter really, mildly annoying.

Also would be great to have a 60fps mode, currently playing at 40fps docked which is good but 60fps would be the real icing on the cake. 🍰

@Cakefish
All sounds pretty good overall with some hiccups.
Yes VRR in docked mode would be nice.
I’m getting VRR signal to my tv, but obviously not working I guess.
Shall see what FPS I get on the TV when I play the game tomorrow.

I think docked and that’s how I always play switch 2 it’s 1080p at 60fps of course there will be some sort of DLSS upscaling.

Anyway some small drops down from 60fps is not the end of the world.

The only thing that would help docked wise is if they got the VRR working as 60fps is in the VRR range.
My TV is showing VRR on with the switch 2 as I mentioned before so some sort of VRR signal is getting through but obviously not working as Nintendo stated.

@SwitchplayerJohn
I think the Europe base is in Germany
They could do some work in the UK like demo pods etc, but maybe it’s not cost effective for them.
They never really go all out in the UK.

No love for the UK demo wise.
Smyths Toys would be a fantastic choice for switch 2 and DKB demo.
The amount of kids and parents that store gets during the day would be a great promotion.

Then again you wouldn’t be able to buy a switch 2 because of stock shortages so it could be a missed hit.

Having said that Smyths Toys have stock of MKW switch 2 bundle and stand alone switch 2 for home delivery right now.

Anyway would still be fantastic for now and the future.

Had original switch pro controller and never had one issue.
Have a switch 2 pro controller and so far brilliant.

Between myself and my son and decades of gaming only one controller has given stick drift and we threw it away. PS5 duel sense controller, just once.

I’m glad they didn’t go cross generation and hold the game back and went full switch 2.

As for switch 2 in theory Nintendo studios should be able to get a game like horizon forbidden west on PS4 Pro graphics wise.
But time will tell.

@Member_the_game
You’re definitely a Bus Stop Wan**r 🤣🤣🤣

@Cakefish
My mistake did not know Nintendo totally owned Retro Studio.
Thanks for the knowledge 😊

@Oldstalk
Yep will be buying DKB and MP4 definitely
But outside of those 2 and the odd upgrade like Kirby what does Nintendo themselves have left this year.
Even MP4 isn’t Nintendo.
They need a very good stream of Nintendo first party in house studio AAA games.
They have invested in the last year or so, so I’m hoping they up their output.
We could get the Splatoon spin off game I guess.
Maybe Luigi Mansion 4, must be ready soon.

@Sambuc
Microsoft should get FH5 on switch 2 right now.
It really is the game that Sony and Nintendo sort of don’t have in that way.
Sony now have it and switch 2 should.

I really wish and probably only Nintendo studios could do this but I don’t know how.

But a game with Horizon forbidden West pure open world graphical performance on the PS4 Pro but with a Nintendo game in Nintendos style is what I would like to see.
In all its glory and texture and environment beauty, maybe in a Mario or Zelda world.

It would be a tough ask as at hand held the game would still need to run only using 1.7 tflops.

I think all companies rightly or wrongly really look at cost and what return on investment they are going to get.
Then as development time passes by, decide to keep the game developing or cut the game, relating to financial assessment.

It’s the same on the high street in the UK every month we hear of shop chain closing some or all of their high street stores in favour of better return on line or the shop is not making any money after rent and employee costs.

I think in gaming of course we get more attached rather than we do with a shop.

Those that haven’t got a switch 2 yet UK.
The MKW bundle with switch 2 is in stock at Smyths toys and Argos, store collection and delivery in some places. Good luck.

Playing this weekend MKW and a few friends over tonight for MKW and food of course.

@Max_the_German
Totally agree series x VRR is flawless and covers by types and works with HDMI 2:0 as well and has LFC range.
Goes to show the company that really isn’t a console manufacturer Xbox brings the best VRR on console and the other two that are better for console and entertainment manufacturer mess it up a bit.

I always stick to official Nintendo gear, no problems at all then.

@JohnnyMind
Thank you for pointing me out.
Bit late with this article and discovery, like you said I think I mentioned this on switch 2 release day when I got mine home.

I must get lucky, with decades of gaming and consoles including switch and now switch 2 never one issue with all makes.

Sometime and I’ve seen this the treatment of games consoles is terrible, most of it is youngsters or even parents that just don’t get it.

My consoles have always sat on a glass entertainment cabinet and well ventilated and given a clean sometimes.
Never had an issue.

@neil9000
Yes I notice on my TV the colour comes out with full RGB.
Just as well me got hdmi 2.1 with 48Gbs, plugged in.
Running A95L QD-OLED so looks fantastic

I use my own 2.1 HDMI cable at 48Gbps
Of course it’s way above switch 2 spec and everything works perfectly.

They did great in the UK preorder wise and stock on release day for a few hours anyway.

UK has had one good restock since at Argos, Smyth Toys etc.

So overall a well organised release.

@SuperBro64
I’m very satisfied with the game, totally awesome.

Yes I think an option to select three lap racing when playing online should be added.
They can do this easy and it would be great to have.

@turmeric16
I don’t hate what they have done.
But it is daft and stupid not to give your loyal customers the option.

For me it’s game companies not thinking about customers and just ticking boxes.

@BenAV
Add another random track option that is a standard 3 laps only.

More and more I think game companies are run by desk morons or corporates.

Last week there was some good stock activity in the UK but I don’t think it got mentioned on here.

Smyths toys, Argos and Nintendo UK stores all had stock of both, but of course it didn’t last a day.

All the clever stuff people have said above.
But also their game engine itself will probably help massively, and probably specifically produced and designed just for switch 2.

Thank god for Nintendo probably almost the only real game company left that knows what console gaming and exclusivity and getting the best from your console really is about.

Argos UK have switch 2 and the switch 2 MKW bundles in stock.
