It's ubisoft so ofcourse it is. I have a feeling only fiirst oarty games are gonna be true physical games (and a few 3rd party ones) but most are gonna be this key card nonsense. If they make playing games physically this complicated/difficult then switch 2 is gonna be all digital for me and my last Nintendo console.
Why would you provoke the one Gaming company that is atleast in the public eye the most litigious company? Sure microsoft and sony have had lawsuits but nintendo has shown time and tiem again that they will sue you if they have even a smidge of winning/making a point. I genuinely don't know what certain companies are thinking sometimes.
We need the power of the switch 2 to make the eshop run decently. I mean the performance of that thing is an abomination it lags frequently freezes sometimes and is slower than slow. I dont care for the colors. Make it easy and intuitive to use and make it snappy. I understand some loading, fine. But as it is now its such a slog to use. Do better nintendo. If you want me to join an all digital future make the eshop usable.
Nope either full physical or full digital. But this halfway license nonsense isn't it. It makes things needlessly confusing. Edit: Also a waste of plastic/packaging.....
@RiasGremory I find tech analysis like these useless when they obviously arent able to test it fully yet. Its like me watching a screen recording and concluding, oh it looks bad. I think most people will be more than happy with the switch. I see it more like a switch pro... plus backwards compatibility is such a huge win for me. So now I can future proof my switch library while still getting the occasional switch 2 exclusive.
@Cipher36 Same here. How do switch games perform on switch 2 WITHOUT the upgrade. Is BOTW for example still all ove rthe place in terms of performeance or is it locked 30 stable? That's my big question. I'm gonna get it regardless (I'm still on my launch switch).
@Mz3player if you look closely underneath the famicom icon, theres another square hidden. I'm assuming that you can scroll down and then access genesis games. Or its a slider and you can slide it further to the right
@Polvasti I dismissed the game at first and then decided to give it a go together with my girlfriend. 10 minutes later we were in tears from all the laughing. The hiliarity of this game is something else. It's so unassuming and then bam.
@GrailUK switch 3? Sweet summerchild we are already on switch 4 pro. On a more serous note it's clickbait and it works. There are so many fear mongering takes on yohtube that I refuse to click on the vids out of principle. Enough is enough. The whole discourse around the switch 2 is dominated by misinformation fear mongering and just in general negativity, that Im gonna stay away from such articles. Let me make up my mind come launch. You wanna pre order? Do it. You dont wanna pre order? Dont do it. Wanna get it later? Sure. You dont wanna get it all? Also fine. But this whole trying to convince the other side is getting tiresome.
I haven't "upgraded" to the OLED version. I have a huge backlog and with the switch 1 joycons being as flimsy as they are, I'm gonna get the switch 2 mario kart bundle at launch. Already preorder via a big tech retsiler here as they get more copies. Now I've already gotten an email a few days ago that informed that the supplier may ship it later 17th at the latest. Im not in a hurry per se but I see it as future prooving my swit h library aswell as getting the switch 2 exclusives that I want.
I'm getting the switch 2 as a replacemnt for my launch switch so I can continue on the back log while getting the occasional switch 2 exclusive. I see it as a way of future proofing if that makes sense
My question is how do switch games run on switch 2 without the upgrade. Take botw for example. I wanna now is how does it run without the upgrade? Is it locked 30? Or is performance exactly the same as switch. Thats what I wanna know.
@andyg1412 It's not just about the gamecube games. Racing games are much better with analogue triggers. Just imagine mario kart but you can control your speed. You know like any other racing game? Its such a small thing but no nintendo gotta nintendo. This is just pathetic on their part. Every other console has analogue triggers. Mostnpc pads have annalogue triggers. Switch 2 the "improved" console in the year 2025? No analogue triggers .... you expect me.to cough up almost 500chf but give me a console thats basically the same as my current switch? Yeah no...the more I hear an think about the switch 2 the less excited I am for it.
Posted this in anothe article but its applicable here so: Wait so no analogue triggers? How will that work with the gamecube games on nso then? Please dont tell me I have to buy their gamecube controller too. If that's the case nah fam I'm out.

@Magician the fromsoftwsr subreddit is in full on crisis mode. So yeah its not just sony fans or whatever. Just dont bring up bloodborne and it's exclusivity in the sub.if you do they bring insane mental gymnastics how this time it's different and worse.
@Oracles_fanboi its insane, absolutely ridiculous at this point gaming is a luxury. No more games for all. No wonder key resellers are flourishing when you can't afford the hobby from the source. Thank god my backlof of switch games is huge so I'm probably gonna get the console. But man this is bitter. Oh and the upgrade cost for each switch game to get switch 2 benefits? Idk....😪
I know its my fault for expecting metroid prime 2 and 3. It's also my fault for expecting the Zehlda HD ports "confirmed" by jeff grubb way back in the day. "Oh they are definitely coming you guys believe me". Great job you wannabe insider. As for the direct imo completely forgettable. Bring on the switch 2 direct.
I didn't even sign up for the event as the nearest one to me is in another country, and im not taking a day off work just to travel there for a day. The direct will hopefully be enough for me.
@SalvorHardin Im afraid that this'll be the route nintendo will go down harder with switch 2. We've had several examples of this during the switch 1 era sadly. I hope I'm wrong but who knows. I just miss the days of games that stand aloen without a dlc but I'm aware these days are long gone. At least that's what it feels like to me. Now enough doom and gloom, I look foward to the switch 2 and what outstanding experiences Nintendo will deliver.
Zelda wind waker HD and twilight princess HD? This time? Please? NINTENDO? Ok thx bye 😊😊😊. In all seriousness though I'm looking forward to this direct let's see what they've been cooking.
Edit: Also I gotta say those new direct banners with the countdown are really really nice. Please keep them 😊
@Elbow Frontier was almost great. But the forced 2d sections killed it for me especially on the 3rd Island. Run 5 meters boom 2d. Run another 5 meters boom 2d. It was so bad for me that I quit the game there. So frustrating. Why is it so hard to look at what adventure 2 did and refine that? Even sonic 06 from a gameplay standpoint felt like the adventure games. Remaster that and I bet poeple would like it. As for the boost formula games. Unleashed is still the best in that regard imo. It feels like for evedy step foward they take, they take 3 steps back. Let's hope this new game is focused in its gameplay. Stop reusing old assets and stages.
Already tripple dipped on this (switch, ps4 and pc). Sooooo pumped for the sequel. I'm usually very reserved when it come to announcements but announcing the sequel has me hyped.
Wait are we switching from the doomer timeline to the hopefull timeline? All I ask for is no BS with this one capcom please. Okami holds a very special place in my heart.
@mothleaf Agreed this rumor articles are just speculation. I can go to reddit for that. I get it's nintendo related and it drives discussion and engagement. But tone it down. Not every small rumor deserves an entire article -.-. Maybe I should 3d Print a mockup, then I'll also get an article 😊.
C'mon where are twilight princess HD and Wind Waker HD on switch? So many "insiders claimed they are ready to be released amd what did we get?..... nada, nothing, zero. We get all sorts of ports but not the ones that would sell like hotcakes, instead we got skyward sword which wasnt loved as much. I bet metroid prime 2 and 3 will also never see a switch release. The only hope I have is pikmin since I never expected 1 and 2 to get a switch release
