@LastFootnote exactly that. Although this instance is different because you can't add Pokémon from home to leaf/green, so not too sure why it wouldn't be released at the same time
@HauntedMasque gotta say the first hour is truly one best openings in a resident evil game. Right up there with last of us in my opinion. Game is amazing
@darkswabber it's not broken. The original game has pop ins, that hasn't changed and a 'upgrade' is not going to fix that.
The update is for a enhanced resolution and higher textures with smooth performance. It's not going to drastically change the graphics, it's just going to upscale the image. This is pretty much what all of Nintendo's upgrade edition does.
Also it's £5, really going to complain about a little pop in for £5 when the game is just gorgeous to look at. Gamers really are just a bunch of princesses these days
@Bobb yeah I think the problem I have is, I've played most games on Xbox before, got the ps5 for exclusives, ff7r being one of them when I didn't need it lol. I'll go back to it at one point, but right now with most games I want to play coming to SW2, my ps will have to wait for its time to shine
Might be a minority here but i seem to struggle owning multiple consoles. I got a ps5 slim and the same time as my switch 2, bought silent hill 2 remake and stopped playing my ps5 entirely, switch is my console of choice, I play this little piece of magic daily and ps5 is collecting dust right now (although that is likely to change when gta6 comes out
Is this a unlocked frame rate? It seems so fluctuate depending on the environment your in. There is some choppiness but nothing game breaking. More worse in handheld, but overall and HUGE improvement and definitely worth revisiting!
Interesting. Have the fixed the frame rate from the demo. Also there was a lot of complaints about the AI being dumb and not helpful, glad that this sounds better now.
Switch exclusive? If this is good this could be a real head turner, but if it plays anything like efootball then we can lay this to rest, it's worse the fc26
Censorship really doesn't bother me. I play games for the gameplay and story, not to get excited about someone's private parts. On the other hand they really could have done something better than a silly black area
@foursider I thought you said 'halo' and for me thinking. Is this where Microsoft FINALLY starts supporting switch 2? They just had a showcase of their own after all
100% getting this and seriously considering a GC controller for the analog triggers. Between this, FF7R and resi 9, next few months looks busy for me. Kudos nindy
@michellelynn0976 I always said if our make a good port on switch, no matter how old, it will sell. Switch owners love to play games on the go rather than other consoles. FF7R proves this, and resident evil 9 will next month too
@RobertCorwen cancelled everything but the on going no show that is beyond good and evil 2. Maybe Unisoft needs to concentrate on finishes the games before announcing anything else
@Sonicka I would say that given how good lighting works on SW2 system, and rebirth is a VERY colourful game, I would imagine it will look great it most places. Although the open world aspect remains to be seen. I'm not that worried about the the actual graphics as much as performance
This and final fantasy are going to be keeping me busy for the next two months. But still there is so many games I want to get (and finish). Also looking forward to the next direct which should be around the corner. Hoping E33 is next for nindy. We eating good start of this year
Strange that pretty much all baldurs gate is on switch, divinity 2 is on switch and even want new new divinity game on switch 2, they wouldn't release bg3 on it. Doesn't really make sense. Pretty sure the new divinity is going to be gore galore so don't see why that would be a issue.
@Otimus still baffles me to this day that Nintendo never implemented analog triggers to their own controllers. Making us buy a certain one just for that really is Nintendo all over
@Pat_trick it's laziness because they released a game in such a state when they know it can be better (hence the patches). Clearly not really interested in something they made, if you are going to do a port, put the effort in.
Also this game doesn't exactly run great on some other consoles too, so yes it is laziness in my opinion
@Pat_trick yes the hardware is underpowered because it's a glorified handheld. But like is said studios have taken the effort to utilise the systems tricks, dlss etc to give us amazing ports of cyberpunk, outlaws, shadows...
They haven't, they rushed it out when they knew it wasn't ready, and now we wait for a day one patch to rectify it when it should have been when it was released.
@Pat_trick not true. We already have amazing ports so early in the hardwares lifespan, and they already have a patch to help with the performance so it's not the hardware.
@Max_the_German I guess it started as a indie. Started out as crowdfunding from the public, then they got more than they asked for and the hype went sky high so they outsourced.
Guess the question is when do we draw the line at indie nowadays?
@Kochambra so what are we classing 33 as, because it's for sure not a AAA game. Also would we call hades II and hollow knight a indie game now as it has they hype and trailers. They aren't small games anymore.
Personally 33 is just as much a indie game as anything else
@Max_the_German I agree it is broken, but the game literally only has around 30 people working on it. Okay if you class everyone that was outsourced then there's more, but the main bulk of people is 30. Indie stands for independent, and they company and people are unknown so to me personally, that is indie. It's not a AAA studio
@Axecon considering how many people actually made this game and how most of them has never played a video game this is the definition of indie. Not a big developer at all. I think only one person was from ubisoft, the rest literally came off the street
@Krull Amiga 500 was one of the first gaming systems I ever played. Absolutely fell in love with it the moment I put my kid size fingers around that old flight stick (sorry joystick). Still love Amiga's till this day

Re: Phasmophobia Brings "Genre-Defining" Co-Op Horror Madness To Switch 2 In 2026

No excuse for this. Honestly these companies should be ashamed releasing something like this in this state.
Re: GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Is Racing Onto Switch 2 In Early 2026
@Luigia to me is also sounds like 120fps handheld (furthers options handheld). Hopefully anyways
Re: GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Is Racing Onto Switch 2 In Early 2026
@Kulhy this is all I want. Say what you want about F1 games, but without those analog triggers, it really does lose something

Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

@Lady_rosalina it this confirmed for switch 2? Because if it is I'm in Dreamland and getting this day one provided performance wise it's good.
Re: The Game Awards 2025: Time, Date & How To Watch

Out now on Nintendo switch 2!
