@LastFootnote where does it say in that article that the Switch 2 sales "dropped off quite precipitously"? Brand new consoles being outsold during November by an older console that is going on huge discounts isn't anything new, same happened with Switch 1 in 2017 which was outsold by PS4, same thing happened with PS5 which was outsold by Switch 1 in 2020 and 2021.

Obviously overall hardware in general is down because Xbox is out of the picture and nobody's buying them. Not to mention the fact that this is for 1 region for 1 month, in UK Switch 2 was 40%+ in November compared to last year, I don't even need to mention how much it's dominating in Japan.

They need to update the intro cinematic because it looks god awful on Switch 2, it's like they didn't update anything from the Switch 1 build besides output resolution. On a 4k TV the opening looks so low quality and pixelated which just ruins the whole vibe of what is otherwise a fantastic animation.

@OrtadragoonX the resolution is actually more than just "pure 1080p". The native resolution is 1080p yes but the game does use tiny DLSS docked as well. The DF Crew said that the result it provided was an image that was close to PS5 Performance mode(1512p) and that it looked sharper even than the Xbox Series S Quality Mode(1440p). Good old DLSS letting Switch 2 punch way above it's weight lol

Calling this "just a PS4 version" is categorically wrong on every single level because the only thing it shares with PS4 is a 30fps cap, everything else is much better including lighting, textures, asset loading etc.

@1970sGamer what part of "with all the improved bells and whistles that we previously saw on the PS5 re-release" was hard to understand?

Oliver said that the internal resolution is 1080p but DLSS is pushing it closer to PS5 Performance mode which is 1512p (and even sharper than Series S 1440p mode) and he can't put a specific number on it, so I wonder if the final output resolution target is more than likely 1440p?

If it is then I wish Hamaguchi kinda clarified it in the interviews because he made it sound like it's gonna be running at raw 1080p docked without any upscaling and that's it.

@AmplifyMJ yeah its not, idk why the list has so many errors on NintendoLife. There isn't a single PS5 game in the top 10.

Glad to see that Air Riders has very strong legs, we need as much people as possible in that City Trial mode!

@Pat_trick I don't need to "challenge" your points because your points are the same boring cliche people like you constantly parrot without any substance behind it.

You're not providing any riveting discussion or commentary here by saying "Switch 2 is less powerfull than a PS5" yeah no sh1t Sherlock, PS5 is a giant white coffin that eats 200w of power while constantly needing to be connected to a power socket.

And yet you EXPECT Nintendo to produce a hybrid hardware that pushes to the same limits as that coffin at 450$ at 10-25watts when even 1000$-1500$ portable PC's can't reach that power? Holy technically innept Batman. Switch 2 isn't "uNdErPoWeReD", you're not scaling it's power fairly in any way, shape or form.

But please, do remind us how glad you are that you didn't buy a Switch 2 yet you're still constantly on this website.

@Pat_trick yeah no, not gonna work here buddy. Your comment history shouldn't be ignored because it shows your clear constant focus on this website, it shows your intent and your Push Square comment history supports that as well.

Well would you look at that at the sister Playstation website - nothing but constant gloating about how Xbox and Nintendo are competing in who's the worst, how Switch 2 is underpowered trash, handwaving publishers saying PS5 is too expensive in Japan, YOU YOURSELF handwaving performance issues on PS5 with the latest one being on Borderlands 4 saying "I will just buy it when it gets patched in a year or two" and nothing else.

But wait, what happend about "criticizing the pipeline of development" in constantly giant paragraphs like you do about Nintendo? Where's your comment about how Playstation is an underpowered trash that can't handle games? Hmmmmm, but on the Nintendo website the comment history from you is nothing but constant pessimism and skepticism towards Nintendo, calling Switch 2 underpowered from the day it was revealed, posting nothing but negative takes and contrarianism yet i'm supposed to take you and what you say seriously?

You work under the clear agenda my guy and your comment history supports that, you're not fooling anyone here. Engaging with you or what you're saying is pointless because you're nothing more than just another boring concern troll that is here to farm ragebait talking points while trying to present himself as "holier than thou".

@Pat_trick considering your entire comment history on this website is nothing but constant skepticism and pessimism against Nintendo - no, you are the caricature of that guy online.

I don't believe you hold the same standards towards other platforms because there's no basis in me beliving you beyond your word, your word which is nothing but complaining about Nintendo 90% of the time.

Constantly parroting "Switch 2 is underpowered" is categorically wrong for the type of device it is. It's underpowered if you compare it to nothing but 200w giant coffins that are constantly tethered to sockets. It's a powerful hybrid device especially for it's price, that's not debatable.

@Pat_trick I love how whenever a game launches in a pisspoor state on PS5/Xbox/PC its "the developer/engine/publisher/literally everything under the sun" issue but when the exact same thing happens on Switch 2 it's "omg underpowered trash, developers already hitting the limit, Nintendo is cooked, they need taylor made ports" etc

The double standards are real and absolutely ridiculous.

@Kulhy I wouldn't be surprised if it's Nintendo's certification taking forever again, Nightdive probably expected this patch to be approved by Day One if not even earlier and it had to be delayed because of Nintendo's awful patch approval process.

The only one other review on Youtube is saying that the game runs great without any hitches at 60fps and the footage shows it, so who's to believe? lol

Lmao they want 7$ for each character, you can't even get a pass or something to save money meaning it's 21$ for 3 characters that are gonna be missing content from other versions.

For the amount of time they made everyone wait for these it should've been free, what's the point of buying characters for a game that is now a barren wasteland online because they took a WHOLE YEAR to update the game and the roster? This is ridiculous, ArcSys can choke on it.

I haven't even started Kiwami 2 yet 😫

That's awesome, I thought of bitting the bullet and getting it on PS5 but now I'm glad I waited so i'll just get it on Switch 2 instead.

@Lizuka I always wanted a Revelations 3 where it's all the heroes that we haven't seen or played as for a long time already like Rebecca, Carlos, Jake, Sherry, Sheva etc

RE has a tendency in reusing voice actors for multiple roles so I wouldn't bet on it being Sherry yet but it would be super exciting if it was.

Nice, hopefully the framerate is gonna be much more stable in docked play and crashes are gone because otherwise this is a really great conversion.

Dogsh1t ports like these is what ruins the reputation of the power of the console, you already have several people in this thread blaming the hardware when the obvious culprit is an awful port by a company with history of awful releases and optimization.

Doesn't matter how many Resident Evil 9s, Star Wars Outlaws and Cyberpunks we show to people that look and run fantastic, one bad port and people go "well gee willikers, I'm starting to question Switch 2! I sure am glad I bought a Steam Deck! (Nobody asked)"

@WiltonRoots funny thing is that the hair don't even look that bad. Yeah the hair are not individual strands like on bigger platforms but it looks good enough for me, nothing to lose sleep over:

Sounds great I just hope we get Mercenaries and DLC with even more content in the future.

@Anachronism Nintendo of America just tweeted out screenshots from Switch 2 and it legit looks great:

https://x.com/i/status/1999324603483644091

I GOT MY ROUNDHOUSE KICKS!!!!

That looked awesome, I love that the costumes are faithful!

LETS GOOOOOO, Capcom in full support of Nintendo this gen!!!!

That's awesome

It costs money

It's not that awesome

Yeah the villains all been pretty "Scooby-Doo villain of the week" ever since Wesker died. They're fine but we never got anything on his level ever since he took a bath inside a volcano in RE5.

I wonder if Capcom regrets killing him off because he's such a great villain that people still talk and rave about him to this day. I almost gotta give props to them because they're really sticking to his death and still not bringing him back, as much excitement that would bring to a lot of fans.

@PinderSchloss
Sonic Racing Crossworlds PS4: 900p 30fps
Sonic Racing Crossworlds Switch 2: 1440p 60fps

Red Dead Redemption PS4: 1080p30fps
Red Dead Redemption Switch 2: 1440p60fps

Star Wars Outlaws on PS4: Doesn't Exist
Star Wars Outlaws (with Raytracing) on Switch 2: 1440p30fps

It's not more comparable to PS4.

Somehow.....Skyrim has returned

@Kingy tbf at 51yo he should still be pretty good at throwing out explosive roundhouse kicks

@DarkTron it's not when you care about the story and lore of the franchise which a lot of people do with Resident Evil.

All the recent reappearances of Leon that we've got of him were retreads of what we already knew and played. I want other characters to pop in as well and get more stuff but we haven't seen him in-universe in a new instalment since like 2012.

Told ya that Rose thing was BS lol

@Spedfrom we haven't seen Leon in-universe in a mainline game since RE6. Remakes don't count.

Sweet, I should be done with Metroid Prime 4 and Skate Story by that time so I can finally get to Shadows.

I'm starting to lose hope on that 60fps patch materializing....

@Samalik no he said he wanted a new Tekken on Nintendo like a year ago. Also, not twice, thrice: Tekken Advance, Tag 2 and 3D Prime Edition.

This listing was an obvious AI gobbity goop because it also had a synopsis included before it was removed that made no sense and had no connection to anything that was shown of Requiem.

Beyond Rose being only like 6-8 years old by the time this game takes place, the synopsis that was written out sounded like a fanfiction sequel to 7 and 8 which doesn't make any sense to begin with as Capcom said that the "Winter's Family story reached it's conclusion".

It also doesn't make any sense because the deluxe edition doesn't include anything for Grace who's the main character, why is the synopsis write up only about Rose without mentioning Grace at all and every deluxe bonus is only for Rose but not the main character they've been showing for 6 months? lol

Neat, I always wanted to try System Shock so as good a time as any

But.....he promised he'd bring Tekken to Nintendo.......

@Theamazing1 they werent perfect, PS5 back compat had issues and games broken from launch, matter of fact it still has games that have glitches and bugs from their backwards compatibility layer that were never fixed to this day.

On PS5 Senran Kagura games have extremely distracting visual glitches and they have never been fixed. I booted up the first Evil Within on PS5 recently and it starts up with the "there might be issues when playing this game on a PS5" notice in the corner meaning it has some funk going with it that was never fixed.

Xbox is the only one you can say nailed it but even their back compat isnt playing every Xbox 360 game ever made.

Maaaan, I'd love to go there during the Christmas season

@Alcea the first sentence of the article literally says that it's coming to Switch 1

@SuperEndriu Yakuza 0 is on sale right now and it's the amazing and the best place to start so I recommend giving it a try.

@Dang_69 I attack because you're pushing the usual doom and gloom narrative by making conclusive "this is how the whole game plays out and it will be bad" type of statements from small pieces of advertisement material while blowing it out of proportion as the whole game experience that you pretend to know as a fact.

Again, you don't know what the whole experience is, you saw few marketing materials and twisted the whole thing into a giant negative push of "Marines bad because Miles annoying and marines meanes no muh isolation and the whole experience is ruined".

What I want is an actual story with meaningful stakes, lore development and characters that aren't mute cardboard cutouts instead of another Metroid Prime 1 where your whole story is just scanning everything for 20 hours. If you find that exciting then great but this series needs to move its ass forward in terms of story and lore progression already.

Alien Isolation(heh) felt more isolating than any Metroid Prime game and it had tons of characters besides Ripley in it. Same with Dead Space. Same with a huge chunk of Resident Evil games. Stop making conclusive statements before the full game is out.

@Dang_69 "What I want from this type of game"

You've had 15 instances of "this type of game" from this franchise for the past 30 years already, go play those.

I don't want another Metroid Prime where 98% of the story is Samus filling up her silent diary about alien plants for 20 hours again.

@Dang_69 I think you're overreacting way too much from seeing 20 minutes of footage of a 20 hour game. Stop making conclusive statements on how its "bad" and being a reactionary when you don't know anything about the full game.

People keep complaining but as someone who likes Metroid's lore and story and absolutely loves Metroid's manga and read all of it - I welcome this, give me more actual story and plot progression in Metroid god damn it. Hell I want Samus to actually start speaking in future games as much as that will bother some of you here.

Samus is an awesome character and the Metroid world is extremely rich and interesting but because of Other M everyone just now has instant reaction to story/Samus speaking/other characters as "HERESY, WHERE'S MY ISOLATION".

You all had 10+ Metroid games already doing the exact same shtick y'all want, it's time to change up the Prime series at least somewhat and have it sell beyond the usual 1-2 million units(especially if the budget being 100 million is true).

@Cotter1 the game isn't out yet, how are you playing it already? 🤔

So many god damn games to buy in December and February! 😩
