@Zufolobelisk think youll find there are people who love these games. I'm one of them. Just because you do not like it, doesn't mean there isn't a following
@UltimateOtaku91 I'll bet my hat that it's coming to switch 2. I can see pretty much most Microsoft owned games to be ported now the switch 2 is capable of running them.
@Cipher36 generally speaking yes. It will load faster as the SD is faster and most likely the picture will be sharper. But if the game is 30fps, then most likely that will be up to the developers to patch it.
@Slowie ps5 is a much more powerful console but the switch 2 has so much other stuff going on in that CPU than realise. Honestly I'm so excited to see what they can do with it, it doesn't feel like the switch 1 in terms of power compared to other current gen consoles
I don't see why not. Pretty sure switch 2 would be able to run almost anything right now. If they really wanted to they just could lower the resolution and upscale the image to 1080p using DLSS. Less work for them and easy to port.
Honestly, I would rather them just make the same games as other consoles and have cross play. Alienating switch players is not a good consumer move. EA being the ***** ups as usual.
DLSS is there to help with third party games, running the resolution at 720p, maybe lower and upscaling it to 1080p. This will help SW2 run pretty much everything on its hybrid console
@Ulysses yeah that could be the case. It will sell better than download codes but it's just not the same.
I miss the days when I could go to a store, but a new game with the physical game inside, manual with it. Now it's just so cheap. I love physical games, but honestly I'm slowly moving more towards digital nowadays. It's just easier with a hybrid console
@Yoshi3 I'm not saying it's a good arguement I'm just saying how it is. Nintendo game prices have always been expensive, I think everything is going to go up now, Nintendo just got there first.
@Yoshi3 most games you will play for a year or two and that's it. Mario kart you know will be a good investment and pretty much will still be played to death 7 years later. I get the price, but can't complain about the price when most people spend 100's on cosmetic items on Fortnite, GTA or FIFA. At least with mario Kart you are getting a grade A full game
@Zealv2 these game key carts don't really make sense. You still have to manufacture the cases, granted it's still cheaper than a cartridge but still, what's the point
This sucks for physical collectors but unfortunately this is how the gaming industry is going. Most games are way bigger than 64gb, and even with some absolute miracles and cuts, most games won't come on the cart.
Honestly metroid prime 4 really does feel like the halo of switch 2. It will be the flagship game that most people will look back on. As they say, things will only get better from here, and if this is the benchmark for switch 2, it's going to an amazing generation.
How are people complaining about the lack of games at launch? Honestly gamers are so spoilt these days. Used to be 1/2 maybe 3 decent games on launch, the rest all crap.
@Tyranexx good point, didn't notice that. Honestly thought it would have been a launch title considering it's cross gen anyways. Surely would have released it by now if wasn't for switch 2
@kid_keo just to add to this, backwards compatibility really makes a difference here too. I would say most people still have a backlog on the OG so it wouldn't be like you would lose all that when you transfer to SW2.
Overall I'm over the moon with the direct and honestly cannot wait to get my hands on this thing
10/10 Nintendo made me cry. Honestly everything I had hoped for came true. Only critique was we only saw a glimpse of the UI on the system. Other than that you can tell our nindy has grown up!
@electrolite77 simply because most of the comments are invalid and make no sense. Considering what this console is coming with that is a good price point. Considering the newest next gen console right now is around 700 and isn't THAT much of difference you really are complaining for nothing.
@rjejr ff7 remake kinda struggled on my Ryzen 5 laptop at certain points. Honestly I believe switch will handle these games. With the upscaling technology the CPU has in DLSS, they could even lower the resolution and still make it look decent enough to run
@eltomo most likely will and before a Xbox version for sure. I've been the same, I was closed to getting a ps5 this year but now all I need is silent hill remake to come to switch and I'm set
For real those numbers are tiny considering what you are getting. 4k 60fps on TV and handheld that does 120 FPS for just over £400. Why are people complaining. Seriously too much clowns on the internet who doesn't deserve the time or oxygen
Honestly I think Nintendo actually made in blank on purpose in the reveal trailer. I think the leaks were correct when it said C. Maybe C is for console. Could be a way of entering chat mode?
@Pillowpants the more ports the better. This is exactly why in the last Nintendo consoles didnt do so well. Don't get me wrong, first party IP's will always make the console sell, but having more games that performance wise is on par with other consoles will make switch 2 the better console
I will deffo be getting this day one. So many games I would love to see with better performance. Also if it's true about upscaling to 1440p there is so many games I already have that I can't wait to play again

Re: Digital Foundry Dives Into Cyberpunk 2077 On Switch 2
@arkanjo29 40fps is alot closer to 60fps than the numbers look.
Re: Oblivion Remaster May Be Launching This Month, But Will It Come To Switch 2?

Re: Sony Vet Shuhei Yoshida Says Nintendo Is "Losing Their Identity" With Switch 2
Nintendo innovated the hybrid console market. They have just improved it even more. Why change what's not broke? They havnt lost anything.

Re: Vampire Survivors And Square Enix Team Up For Free DLC, But It's Not The Series You'd Expect
Man. VS is the game that keeps on giving. Now this is literally how you keep a game alive. Kudos poncle, I really wish more developers were like you
Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
@jetsetradion exactly this. 40fps although doesn't look like much difference by numbers, but it's a huge difference when gaming. Just ask Xbox owners
Re: Is The Switch 2 A Steam Deck Killer? Digital Foundry Dives Deep

Re: The Switch 2 Won't Have Achievements Or eShop Music
Honestly if nintendo would allow Nintendo music app to load in the background would be awesome. Not just the eshop or menus, but games too

Re: Switch 2 Game Cart Max Capacity Is 64GB, Says CD Projekt Red
@abe_hikura yeah they really screwed us over. Don't really have much chance tomorrow either with Nintendo.
I already see scalpers setting prices on eBay between 600/700. Doesn't look good
Re: Switch 2 Game Cart Max Capacity Is 64GB, Says CD Projekt Red
@gorkem86 considering companies aren't going to pay to huge fees that come with bigger sizes, this is very unlikely
Re: Switch 2 Game Cart Max Capacity Is 64GB, Says CD Projekt Red

Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Given Its Game Cases A Makeover On Switch 2
I mean its a good idea, although I'm not fond of the red border at the top taking up most of the space.
Also, most games will probs be download only except Nintendo exclusives.
Re: Hands On: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond On Switch 2 Is Staggering

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Direct April 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
@tdub154420 nothing like wii u. This is set up perfectly to sell like hotcakes. Some decent 1st party hitters and a host of 3rd party support.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
@Jarl76 let's not forget that most handhelds these days can't even run 1080p natively, not to mention 120fps. Win for nindy!

@SwitchplayerJohn if it's not a full game and maybe just like f-zero 99.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Donkey Kong's Redesign In Mario Kart 9?
Maybe they will have alternate versions? Maybe like a unlockable where you can have DK in mk8 or old (new?) version of DK
Re: Switch 2 Supply Chain Figures Reportedly Revealed Ahead Of 2025 Launch
@Sequel I remember when I first got a ps1, it had a demo tech disc and I remember a the t-rex demo. That was amazing.
Im kinda hoping this new mario kart is free and is basically f-zero 99, battle royale.
