Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?

Unlike previous additions I can't see myself buying this. The NSO controllers are good, because they can be used on original hardware and games outside of the service, which I think is cool.

If they did a release with games and the like, like an SNES classic I might be more interested. Also they didn't release the VB controller, which is a bummer.

Re: Opinion: Resident Evil Requiem Represents A Turning Point For Switch 2

I'm not so sure about that.

I think we are running in circles here. Sure, the Switch 2 will be good for awhile; but a new generation isn't that far off and we'll be in a similar position as we were with Switch 1.

We'll get some miracle ports probably once that happens, but it'll up to the developers to optimize the best they can for the hardware.

@Polvasti Shadow Labyrinth, which is odd given that it doesn't look particularly that demanding. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, if based upon the demo is disappointing. Initially Hitman as well, which was updated later.

Unfortunately since many games don't have Switch 2 native versions they don't perform as great as they could like Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden Ragebound although the former is getting an update at least.

Third party offerings have left much to be desired, especially in terms of performance. Its sad to see so many Switch 2 games with performance issues either do to lack of optimization or lack of a native Switch 2 version to begin with.

No one is expecting high end PC or PS5 performance, but consistent performance is apparently too high of a bar these days.

Re: Switch 2 Sales In The US Are Outpacing The Original Console By 75%

I've been left wanting with the Switch 2. Which is why I was definitely hoping for that general direct.

While the Indie/Partner showcases are neat, I only mainly purchases 1st party games on it so I've been wondering on things like Metroid Prime 4 and other Switch to Switch 2 upgrades.

I've held off on games in my backlog like Mario Wonder, Xenoblade X, Metroid Dread and Astral Chain for the future Switch 2 update. I hope Prime 4 still comes out this year.

Re: NIS America: Trails Beyond The Horizon Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release Is "Most Beneficial Option" For Fans

Ya'll are so wild for this. NIS of all people should know that people that buy their games are the type of hardcore collectors who care about having a full cartridge vs a key card. They're already in a niche market and they should be well aware of that.

And the key card releases they've been doing are more expensive anyway. I think it is very telling that right now their latest key card releases, Disgaea 7 and Beyond The Horizon are still sitting at 100% stock on their website.
