@Serpenterror probably because there's 155 million Switch users vs 23 million Switch 2 users. Math isn't that hard.

I mean it makes sense, werent there multiple reports that Oblivion was practically sold out everywhere and Bethesda said that the new shipment will only come in September?

This looks fun as hell

Doesn't this also confirm that we should be getting Warzone as well?

2027 getting absolutely stacked for Switch 2 already.

You'd think after being one of the big indie hit titles (Untitled Goose Game) on Switch 1, that was also console exclusive for a bit, these guys would put priority on Switch 2 and give it the love it deserves.

But it sounds like they just quickly dumped the game on the platform without any proper optimization, just push every graphical setting to minimum, give it a minimal draw distance and lock it at 30 just to have it ready by launch. Sad.

2027?!?!?!? Are they mental?!?!? Are the Switch 1 and 2 versions handled by 2 people at Bandai in a basement or what? What reason is there for a 6+ month delay difference in release?!?

@Olliemar28 I think that's a wrong analysis of Nintendo. I doubt they're "fuming" that a big chunk of their customers still prefer physical as they're still a toy company at heart that is extremely traditional and conservative (in a good meaning of the word).

If anything I think Nintendo is pleased rn more than anything because they still understand the value and importance of public advertisement and being seen by everyone. Playstation/Xbox just handed them practical physical game monopoly and majority shelf space turning every gaming section in your store into basically a mini Nintendo Store lol

Not to mention Nintendo is a Japanese company and Japan is still very pro physical copies. Game key cards exist not because "Nintendo is an evil mastermind that wants to push you to digital" but because cartridges are a pain in the ass expensive format and they wanted to make the cheapest way possible for their partners to make a physical game to put on the shelf instead of all of them going digital.

@topsekret your whole comment becomes moot right from the first sentence because every Nintendo digital storefront still allows you to redownload all your purchases even from 20 years ago.

You have no basis to have so much blind faith in Valve keeping your digital purchases available compared to Nintendo. My Switch 1 games from almost 10 years ago are moving forward with me now on Switch 2 and Nintendo understands the importance of digital libraries - it's why they worked their ass off to make backwards compatibility work on Switch 2. Backwards compatibility that makes games run better than they did on Switch 1 even without patches mind you.

If you don't think your Switch 1 and 2 library will move forward with you on Switch 3 and so on then you've just created your own irrational boogeyman that you'll never move on from because "I cant buy NES games on Wii in 2026 anymore".

@DTfearTheBEARD Playstation goes full digital in 2028 so I guess you don't have much time left to be boasting about buying everything on it instead of Switch 2 under every article, huh? :')

I've been playing it all weekend and the game is an absolute blast, excited for Granblue Versus in September as well.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!

Since we're probably not getting Forza anymore - i'll take it!

@Nao120 @idkmyname Ubisoft confirmed they're working on an offline mode for the game.

Looks really neat, Gameshare is a great feature and building the whole game around it sounds interesting.

If this is how bad it looks on Switch 2 then what the hell does the Switch 1 version even look like? Did they forget to upgrade the game for Switch 2?

I love how the performance problems are "it takes 2 seconds for the map to appear", like wut? lol

After this week in video games - it feels so great to see so many huge AAA 3rd party games coming day and date to Switch 2. We're eating so much better than what we had during the Switch 1 era!

Got it on PS5 because I was too anxious to play it but I will double dip on Switch 2 for sure.

Glad I waited and didn't pick it up anywhere else lol

The 2nd game came out so long ago that I basically gave up on them doing a follow up. I was ecstatic when I saw this popup during SGF, can't wait to get my hands on it!

I'm really glad that the Tifa part was true from the leaks but it's really weird that every other character for Season 4 was wrong.

This was an incredible SGF, probably the best one in years. It was also an absolute treat to watch it as a Nintendo fan because we're FINALLY getting big AAA games day and date and we've got a stack of them from this show!

Got Remake, Rebirth on Switch 2 and can't wait for Revelation!

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thank you Capgods, Day 1 i'll be there no matter what!!!

So glad this is Day 1, first Alien Isolation was amazing!!! Maybe we'll get to wield a pulse rifle, at least for a little bit pretty please? lol

LETS GOOOOO, this is super exciting! I love this new era of Nintendo, big AAA 3rd parties day and date

Genuinely excited COD is finally back on Nintendo, I loved playing COD on Wii and hell even DS back in the day lol

@AI-Generation 60fps and crossplay confirmed.

They wouldn't take so long to release DLC on Nintendo if they weren't chained down by the Switch 1 port. Switch 2 version would've probably ran at 60fps as well.

The fact that it's locked to 30fps during gameplay is legit diabolical and at only 1080p docked to boot. Is it possible for Bandai to give their ports on Nintendo hardware any amounts of care? All their "remasters" might as well be demasters.

40fps/unlocked framerate was more than possible with this on Switch 2, they just didn't care enough to do it.

A 40fps mode would be nice.

Good thing Nintendo doesn't give a flying fudge about what investors want.

Waiting for the Switch 2 version, Bond and Nintendo are inherently linked together in my brain.

@Buizel but the pop-in for Series S is not that much better? I dont understand the comparison, it's not that much different from Switch 2 even in Quality mode as almost every patch of grass just pops up right in front of you.

I feel like they could've squeezed out a 40fps mode at least for Docked mode with lower resolution like they did with Series S. Otherwise great job from Hamaguchi and the team on the Switch 2 version, it looks and runs really good.

This is the year of banger 15-20 hour campaigns instead of open world bloat and i'm here for it.

Personally I want the Jedi games, port the previous 2 and give us the upcoming 3rd one!

@RickStar Jedi Survivor is on PS4/Xbox One and ran mostly fine there. Switch 2 version should be even better than those.

Someone at the preview should've asked what the hell happened to the Switch 2 version 😕

Awesome interview Ollie, always love to hear more from Hamaguchi!

Gonna be my main (and one of the only) game of May since 007 and Lego Batman were sadly delayed

I love that it looks like a live action playthrough of a Resident Evil game lol

Just finished the demo, really enjoyed it. Square did an amazing job with this port.

Where were all these options for Sparking Zero on Switch 2? 😕

@CorvoRevo you don't need to start it over....? You can transfer your character/progress to Switch 2.

Remains (and most likely will remain) in my Top 3 Games of the Year so far alongside Pokopia and Pragmata.

How the hell does this game run on Switch 1 if thats how it runs on Switch 2? lol

Hopefully the upcoming patches in question fix all these performance blemishes.

@Minako-Meleph yes, all servers are crossplay between all platforms.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Now give me FF15 and 16 on Switch 2!

One time Miyamoto cares about the story - he makes the most terrible decision.....

Fingers crossed for Switch 2....

Bandai Namco is on a generational streak of piss-poor Nintendo support, they are the absolute GOATs of it. Almost full year into Switch 2 and they barely released anything of note for it.

I'm not interested in their "wait 1-3 years later for reheated leftovers at full price" shenanigans from Switch 1 era anymore, i'd rather give my money to 3rd parties that actually support Nintendo properly Day 1 like Capcom, Square and Falcom.
