@jsty3105 it's unrealistic in every way shape or form, idk what kool-aid people are drinking when they yap about this stuff.
The 1100$ Xbox Rog Ally X can't even come close to a PS5 from 2020 yet people expect Nintendo to magically produce a 300$ handheld that will play Elden Ring at 4k60fps and have a 20 hour battery.
@Vyacheslav333 if your big examples of 3rd party support not being great are "they delayed a remaster of Virtua Fighter 5 for a month" and "no Call of Duty right away in year 1" then I think we're good my guy.
The demo is only for Switch 2, there's no Switch 1 demo. You can see it from the video attached in the tweet that you linked and in the follow up tweet by Atlus.
@Kwyjibo_Kitsune my guy, i've been playing classic MK for the past 20+ years, so I think I can tell the difference when it has input lag or not.
And no, i'm not "immobile like DarkSydePhil" like you're so desperate to claim, i'm playing the game like i've always played it for the past 20 years on original hardware and fightcade - doing air juggles and combo strings. No inputs of mine get dropped and i've already beaten MK1, 2, 3 and UMK3 arcade without any issues.
The problems are obviously hardware dependent, you just said it was miserable for you on PC but there's ton of reports of PC players who are long time MK oldheads having no problems on their end. Claiming that they're clueless and your experience is universal while suggesting "everyone else is just a blind shill that doesn't know how to play" is god damn stupid.
Also, online was literally a small blurb of 2 sentences and 10 seconds of gameplay in every trailer, 95% of the trailers runtime are about the documentary and games being preserved.
@Kwyjibo_Kitsune you don't even know if it has input lag, you're just parroting what internet told you. What's the point of you grandstanding as some consumer advocate if you haven't even played it yourself? The input lag issues are mostly on Playstation as was documented, i've been playing the Switch 2 version for 5 days already and had no problems with it.
This game was sold as a documentary/game preservation effort first, it's not an online EVO hub for tournaments. If you want that then wait for updates, the offline portion is great which is why people give it high ratings.
@JohnnyMind if you're gonna buy the Switch 2 version of Kiwami 2 i'd suggest you still get it in a bundle that comes with Kiwami 1 because you're gonna get Kiwami 1 for Switch 2 for 20$ in that bundle.
@JohnnyMind I don't think it's a patch for the Switch 1 version, if you get the discounted 10$ upgrade you're basically buying a whole seperate version to download.
@MARl0 9/10 was for the portion I mentioned but they could've easily docked 1 point and given it an 8 as a compromise to the online portion which again isn't the main point of this collection imo.
I feel like the points docked are way too harsh, this collection is first and foremost a preservation and documentary effort and from that alone I think it deserves a 9/10.
Yes online side of the the package is disappointing at launch but it was never advertised as the next big competitive tournament online hub for EVO, that was always secondary.
That Generation Pack is 90$ for RE9+RE7 Gold and RE8 Gold which means you get full editions of RE7 and RE8 for 10$ each which is an absolute steal.
When they announced them all during that last Direct I was wondering who's gonna pick up all 3 games on the same release day but with such a price it's an absolute no-brainer, Day 1 pick up from me.
@AussieMcBucket I kinda agree, I've already seen some people go "RE9 a miracle port for Switch 2"
No, it's launching on Switch 2 because we finally got enough power under the hood to get these big games on our platform day and date with others and 3rd parties wanna bring them to the broader Nintendo market(especially with Xbox going the way it goes rn).
We've kinda hit the plateau with visual fidelity and we're living in the diminishing returns era which Nintendo will only benefit from. Even calling something like RE9 a "port" is wrong, it's releasing on the same day as every other console!
@nhSnork I think the older AC titles we're missing will gradually release in the lifespan of Switch 2.
It's for the best to put your strongest foot forward in Nintendo support with a brand new entry in the series as the actual first game on the new platform.
@fenlix Star Wars Outlaws can't run on PS4 at all but it runs on Switch 2. Cyberpunk runs at 15fps on PS4 but it runs at 30fps on Switch 2 with higher resolution and textures. Sonic X Shadow Generations runs at 30fps on PS4 but 60fps on Switch 2. RE9 is gonna run on Switch 2 with raytracing but won't even exist on PS4.
Steam Deck can run this game at 50-60fps with concession, there's no excuse why it can't offer a performance mode on Switch 2 with the help of DLSS. Using PS4 is a barometer of what Switch 2 is capable of is wrong.
@Retrograde I never understand people like you "its the worst version" it's a freaking handheld hybrid, obviously it's not gonna run the same as the big giant coffins constantly connected to the power outlet, that's the trade off you get if you want a big AAA game on the go and it's a trade off a significant portion of players are willing to have.
If I remove my Switch 2 from a an electrical socket it still works and I can still play Cyberpunk on a smaller screen. Guess what happens to the PS5/Xbox version when I remove them from the socket?
What an absolute copout of an answer regarding the framerate and framepacing.
They keep talking about how their main priority was graphical quality yet they're pushing out a 1080p image in both portable and docked mode that is barely any better than the base PS4. They didn't even keep RT reflections which were so basic that Switch 2 would have no problem running them.
They didn't do anything impressive as they try to paint it here for themselves, you didn't achieve some herculian effort like Star Wars Outlaws or Cyberpunk guys.
Ninja Gaiden and DOA always were and always will be some of my favorite games of all time and I will forever associate them with some of my early days of gaming with Dreamcast and OG Xbox.
For the price of Ally X you can buy a Switch 2 and a Steam Deck together with both of which you'll be able to play practically everything on the market rn AND you'll still have a nice chunk of change left for games.
@TheExile285 Atlus can't even port Persona 3 Reload to Switch 2 properly(1080p 30fps with constant stutter and no RT reflections). Nowadays you can't have any faith in them from a technical standpoint sadly.
Aw yeah, i've been waiting for this. I held off on getting it anywhere else cuz I knew it was Imminent for Switch 2 at least by next year. Glad to see that it's release is even closer than I thought.

Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@Vyacheslav333 it's a new "hybrid console" not just "new console".
Do you expect Nintendo to break the laws of physics to bring you 60fps in PS5 games on a docked tablet?

Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
@Vyacheslav333 if you're expecting 60fps from every current gen PS5 game ported to a thin table then you're technically inept.
Re: Opinion: Third-Party Support For Switch 2 Is Already A Dream Come True
Here come the "there's no 3rd party support, every game is a fake game cuz its key card!!!11!!!1!" comments.

Re: Switch 2 Has The Largest Third-Party Software Lineup Ever For New Nintendo Hardware

"Fake game" what a childish mindset, get over yourselves. Y'all lose your mind over plastic than actually care about playing the games themselves.
Re: Raidou Remastered Is Getting A Free Demo On Switch & Switch 2
@topsekret yeah and they didn't make an Xbox demo because it sold extremely well there, obv /s

@metaphysician yes, they're putting out a demo on PS5 and PC because game key card, very big brain.

Re: Little Nightmares III October Update Now Available For Switch And Switch 2
@whitespy12 that might be true but the game is running at 30fps when it has no problem running at locked 60 on Steam Deck. That makes no sense.
Re: Little Nightmares III October Update Now Available For Switch And Switch 2
I'm genuinely baffled by how bad the Switch 2 version is, they didn't do anything to improve it - you're just playing the Switch 1 version.
