While this is amazing news, problem is that 256/512gb really won't be big enough and a 1tb express as card will be far too expensive. This is new technology, so expect those prices to be sky high
@GrailUK DLSS is the game changer here. You essentially wont need a powerful CPU to get good image quality. I'm not expecting native 4k on switch 2. It's rumoured it's closer to a PS4 pro than Xbox series s.
A less powerful CPU means cheaper price for the switch which is good news! Exciting times for the big N
@Debo626 simply so they can announce a oled switch 2 revision further down the line. Nintendo know people will buy og switch 2 day one will most likely update later on
Great article! Brings back alot of memories from my teens! I miss going into a game store, unfortunately I only have cex and the usual independent stores that wouldn't know sonic from mario.
Being a young adult trade-ins really helped me experience so many games back in the day and I'm grateful I was part of the fun! My dad sadly passed January this year but I'll never forget always going into a game store and seeing a xfx 9 on th shelf and being pleasently surprised!
Simple answer is no. Without Mario kart, Zelda etc they will never be able to compete. These series are what has made Nintendo so special.
Also Microsoft have already destroyed the handheld idea with their play anywhere slogan. What's the point in paying all that money for a handheld when they have already pushed for the idea of play on any device.
@Doktor-Mandrake I mean it wouldn't be hard to port the older games, there already on android! I love the older games too, but maybe it's because of nostalgia
@nimnio I was the same. Always had to have that high resolution, ultra graphic setting on every game. Now I just want to play the game, anywhere. Switch is just perfect.
I used to be one of the those people that always had a high end pc and always wanted my games to look the best, then I got a switch. I love it. I've had it for three years and honestly I would take mh rise over world any day. When did games exactly become all about graphics and 60fps/120fps. Gameplay is everything.
Main game wasn't great. I hated the story. Couldn't care for it. I'm Pokémon fan so collecting all of them and getting shinys kept me going. Isle of armour was okay, introduced some new stuff. Crown tundra really is what the main game should have been.
@JohnnyC well I had it on PS4 first which I ended up selling, had it on pc just to see it in 4K. Now it's on switch with all DLC included and can take it with me. I can't say no to JP

Re: The Switch eShop Is A Nightmare, So We've Made Our Own "Better eShop"
@canaryfarmer yeah I don't think I can ever go back after using it for so long. Maybe Nintendo should just implement the website now

Re: Shiny Rayquaza Is Coming To Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
For me this kind of stuff has ruined shiny hunting for me. Shiny Pokémon just doesn't have the same appeal when you practically give them away.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Devs Explain The Method Behind The Menu Madness
@JohnnyMind that honestly sounds like a Nintendo gimmick. But knowing it's history it's going to have gimmick no one would have expected!
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Devs Explain The Method Behind The Menu Madness
@JohnnyMind dual screen switch 2 will fix this problem 😁

Re: Feature: 6 Huge Video Game Franchises Missing From Nintendo Switch
I would also like to add far cry to that list. Far cry 3 still one of my favorite games.

@Razer just because you don't play it doesn't mean to say other people won't. Ultimate is a museum for gaming icons. More the merrier I say

Re: Poll: Pokémon Sword And Shield Launched A Year Ago, Has Your Opinion On Them Changed?
Main game wasn't great. I hated the story. Couldn't care for it. I'm Pokémon fan so collecting all of them and getting shinys kept me going. Isle of armour was okay, introduced some new stuff. Crown tundra really is what the main game should have been.
