If we had euro here in Sweden, we would be paying around 615 euros for the Switch 2 without Mariokart. Yes, it's insane. And yes, I ordered mine from Amazon.de

That's the worst part of being 30+ and having full time employment etc. The years goes by so fast that a 5-year period feels like 2 years...

Im kinda confused by how low the Steam Deck sales have been. Seems like everyone talks about the unit, but it sells way slower than the Wii U did. 4M units is bout what the Switch 2 will sell in it's first 5 minutes on the market.

@sd7232

Switch Series One U.
Couldn't be clearer what it's all about.

It's so weird that "game" is actually up on the eShop. Doesn't Nintendo have any employees at all that actually does some checking on the games that goes up there?

Nope, I don't want Shenmue 3 on anything.
But I'd really want Shenmue 1 & 2 HD collection on Switch!

Gamecube+Dreamcast would be my dream.

Looks decent.
I didn't like the AW reboot-camp that much, it underdelivered with ugly graphics and no real online support. I don't care this looks very similar to Advance Wars, as long as it's functionally good and got online mode that works.

Bloober team, one of the most mediocre developers in the business...

Duke Nukem 64, with split-screen co-op

@Znake

It's just a bad made port. 99% of the games on the eShop would fit just fine on a cartridge, it's just cheper for them to put them on a download file...not really a shortcoming of the Switch.

@OldGamer999

Its not a valid point. Switch can basically render anything a PS5 can, just a downscaled resolution. Switch is not limited in the same manér as something like N64 or Playstation 1. The only thing that "holds back" Nintendo and other developers nowadays is the time and manpower it takes to develop large-scale games.

@OldGamer999

It's not hard to imagine. It would be the same games at higher resolution. Neither PS5 or Xbox Series has done anything I would call game changing and they dont do anything magic, it's mostly just PS4-games in higher res.

The fact of getting high-end home console games on a handheld is superior imo.

Got one of those. It's a bit on the heavy side to keep in the pocket, but on the flip side, that heft makes it feel like good quality.

It's a slow game, I probably won't notice the difference. On the other hand, I do like the graphical update, it's well worth sacrificing framerate for...in this case.

I really don't get some of these more expensive third party-controllers. They drop important key-features, instead we get these stupid led:s. There's no reason whatsoever to get one of these instead of a real pro controller...

This thing looks kinda great, it keeps the Switch somewhat "compact" design compared to a huge beast like the Steam Deck, while grip comfort seems to be superior compared to stock joy cons.

@graviton

It already have underside-buttons. Id say these two extra could come useful in certain games with too complex control schemes for stock joy-con controller button-layout. Basically, so that you got dedicated buttons for more game functions instead of one button being used for several functions in games like Company of Heroes collection etc.

lol, I just read that "the crazies" are doing a campaign against the Switch-release of this game. It's their old crazy stuff about not being black people or transgender represented in it... xD

Looking forward to see how this one holds up on Nintendo Switch. It run like crap on my base PS4 last time I tested it years ago, Im gonna wait with buying this 'til after the tech is revealed.

@MattAllsopp

It looks a bit muddy and janky, like most 3rd party UE4 games on Switch. But I don't think it's that bad, it looks much better than some other games.

Nice, it's a really nice F2P-shooter done right. Only problem is it can take very long to fill a game.

Level 5, would be great

@OldGamer999

Yep, I miss the pointer which made even mediocre shooter-games like The Conduit and Red Steel fun to play. As joy-cons already have an IR-camera (but at the wrong end), it should be fairly easy for Nintendo to use it on a updated joy-con model and just make the Switch 2 Dock compatible with the Wii Sensor bar. And as the Wii U Gamepad also had a built-in sensor bar, it should work in portable tabletop mode as well.

@BulbasaurusRex

Yep, and as they already built-in a infrared sensor in the joy-con, it would've been letterally free for Nintendo to include support for "Wii-style pointer controls" with a simple port for the old sensor bar in the dock.

I agree, and accessibility is the only type of "inclusivity" I advocate in video games, because handicap can happen to anyone. Everyone can lose a hand or get bad eyesight, it's not a made up identity.

@LadyCharlie

Botw/Totk sells something like x10 compared to any other Zelda release, "this is not what the fans want" 😆

Arkham City seems to be very well off on Switch, esp. as it doesn't seem to feature that ugly bright, yellowish look as the PS4 version...lucky me its the only Arkham-game I want

@Randinator123

Sure they could. But first Microsoft must agree to give Nintendo all the revenue from having the service on Switch.

@OFFICIALMichi

It depends.
Arkham Asylum and Arkham City will probably be more or less the same as on Xbox/PS4, Arkham Knight on the other hand will probably be downgraded.

No.
In the beginning of the Switch-era, I did miss a web browser and more streaming apps. Today, I don't really miss it, youtube on Switch is OK, I use it some times but not often.

With average IQ and education, I find pretty much all places of work hell, lol

Never used Twitch, ever. On any device.

Next, they should sell the MGS IP to a better company that can release a brand new, high quality Master Collection with proper HD ports, not emulation.

@Indielink

DF has been covering the game'soriginal release, I dont think they're bound by the left-extremist stands of EG

It sure will look muddy. Not interested anyway, it's a extremelly boring game.

Indie horror-games

Bloodwash
Stay out of the house

Nintendo gives Princess Peach a facial, lol

Looks like a decent port.
But I just can't play PC-Style RTS on console, I can't handle the "indirect" controls the controller sticks gives it, it's just too slow and imprecise.

No. I rather die than buying a digital-only game console.

Very nice, Blood money is the best Hitman game.

@Laxeybobby

Civilization 6 on Switch is an ios-port and works just great. There's really no reason for an android/ios-port not to work good on Switch as they share the ARM-aspects, as long as they don't use mobile UI like in many of them cheap mobile-ports on the eShop...

Why only 1,000 fps? Unplayable, its like watching slides.

Fine by me, was planning on buying it for christmas anyway

Yeah, I remember how much fuzz there was about this game back in 2007. It had some interesting DOOM 3-like gameplay, but overall I'd say it's a pretty crappy game that had some mild success on the DS due to the lack of portable horror-games back then. Today on Switch, choose another horror game.

Im OK with 30fps at 1080p, atlest its gonna be sharp. Acutally even less impressive it will only be 1080p on PS5.

@Truegamer79 As long as Nintendo sticks to the handheld format, ofc. they're gonna have "the weakest" hardware, compared to TV-consoles. If you want a handheld version of games like this, Switch is a great choice. Its also a decent choice if you only have Switch and no other console to play games on.

@Cronodoug

AMD:s mobile chipsets doesn't seem to fair that good. They sure are capable of performing much higher fidelity than the old Switch, but then it tanks the battery life so hard...

Interesting, it seems to be slightly higher quality assets in the Switch version in comparison to Steam Deck, doesn't Deck rely on PC-version assets?

URGH, designs of the early 2000s...

Nintendo could buy Walt Disney Co. and make them great again!

Looks good and all, but I'm not falling in the trap of buying a PC strategy game on console ever again. Ive tried with a whole bunch, Civilization, Cities Skylines etc...the controls and user interface just never works out. It feels like you're controlling the game with extremely slow and inaccurate prostheses.

@Henchdog @Henchdog

Probably bcause they refuse to reduce texture quality and stuff on series s-games, even if they should.
