1440p with 4k textures?!? It genuinely looks amazing!

Looking great especially Mai, can't wait to play on Switch 2

Letherjacket Hypeman himself! This was a great little video, appreciate the Iwata tribute.

@neogyo which you have to completely buy again if you bought it on Switch 1, with no upgrade options available lol

I really don't wanna be mean because I think there should be games for kids in the launch line up, but every other 3rd party publisher bringing their A game for launch titles and Konami is giving us.....only this lol

Like couldn't you at least announce Metal Gear Solid Delta coming to Switch 2 as well or something? You were one of the first 3rd parties Nintendo trusted their devkits to and this is all you've got?

@YorkshireNed they already confirmed that their Bond will be completely original and not based on any previous actor.

This game looks adorable

@Ladasta physical is available only in Japan

@Medic_alert those 9 seconds stack up over your playthrough of the game so of course it's a big deal.

That's like saying "why people care about Animal Crossing loading times, it's only 30-60 seconds on Switch 1" while literally every transition in that game had a load screen, so in total you were waiting like 5+ minutes of loading in a single session of the game.

Day 1 on Switch 2, i've been holding off on getting it anywhere else because I knew it would come over lol

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT Jesus Christ, just dont buy the console, talk about overreacting. Gamers truly are the "most oppressed" lmao

@Vyacheslav333 yes, launch Xbox Series consoles were unusable until they were updated.

@IceClimbersMain Eshop is universal and i'm pretty sure Square would rather continue selling Nier and Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster to future Switch 2 owners.

They will get patched eventually, don't worry.

Very good update, a huge chunk of 3rd party games are now in the full dark blue zone and over 40 games like Doom Eternal, Ender Magnolia, Arcade Archives, Pizza Tower and so on are all confirmed to be getting updates.

There's still games left to fix tho and I hope they continue updating it every month, there's a chunk of games with issues that I own like Alan Wake, Alien Isolation, Mega Man, Street Fighter, Nier etc that still need updates but very positive progress in just a month overall.

@LastFootnote "There's no way I'm buying a piece of plastic that I have to insert into my Switch 2 but which still requires me to download the entire game and host it at my own expense."

Welcome to modern gaming, you literally do this on every single other platform. Yes not all games "force you to download" but every physical game on PS5 and Xbox force you to install the full game on your machine "at your own expense".

You complain about new expensive storage but refuse to acknowledge that it's expensive for 3rd parties to use that storage for full physical releases as well. Unless you want them to mark up games only on Switch 2 compared to other platforms with everyone online complaining about a "Nintendo tax" again?

I think i'd rather Bravely Default HD be 40$ from Day 1 on Switch 2 rather than 60$-70$ if it was "on a full cart" just to please a rabbid loud minority online.

@Anti-Matter I question why you're on this website whenever I see your comments because whenever I see them you talk about nothing but your precious PS5.

@PikminMarioKirby probably because the Switch 2 version wont be a sub 30fps vaseline experience.

The fact that y'all here care more about what's inside that plastic rectangle than the ACTUAL game experience that will be objectively better on Switch 2 is wild.

Getting Switch 2 version for legit OBVIOUS reasons.

Now how about a Switch 2 update? :3

Why is everyone so down on this? It's a current gen only game that was a technical nightmare on other bigger platforms and it's a pixelated mess that runs at 20fps on Steam Deck.

It's a miracle this looks and runs as well as it does on Switch 2 with so much action and 3 other players on the screen lol

Yakuza 0 Day 1 cop for sure!

Arfur.....mah boah.......have SUM GAH DAMM FAITH!

What a fumble, having VRR only in handheld but no docked support seems incredibly shortsighted. Like did they find out that it won't work just recently themselves and just never bothered to make sure it works docked?

That's the only explanation because leaving out such a massive feature and having it only for 1 out of 2 gameplay modes is, again - stupid.

First back compat game i'm booting up once I get my Switch 2 is Arkham Knight most definitely lol

@johnedwin the difference is that the budgets are higher than ever and you need to meet the player where they are nowadays, so building your game to be playable on as broad of a range of hardware as possible is the main goal now.

The likes of Square, Konami, Ubisoft and etc aren't gonna make money just on 2 pieces of hardware anymore, they're not bringing in enough revenue just to rely on 2 of them only. It's the whole reason Square went public with the whole "Screw Playstation exclusivity, we need our games everywhere especially Nintendo".

Even with PS6 out don't be surprised with most of the games to STILL be coming out on PS5 and even PS4.

@Max_the_German not for Square Enix lol

LETS GOOOOOOOOO, FIGHT ON!

Is NL getting a review copy for Fantasy Life? Judging by the latest footage during the Direct and Level-5 hiding the Switch version in general doesn't bode well for its performance.

As for me i'm picking up Capcom Fighting Collection 2 for sure.

Gamechat was a mistake, 3gb of ram taken up by OS out of 12gb just to have a video streaming option that nobody gonna care about?!?! Bruh

People yelled at Nintendo for like 10 years for how dumb they are because they "don't have voice chat, why are you using this stupid app, Nintendo why are you so archaic, I don't wanna use my phone or Discord".

Now that they gave everyone what they asked for y'all are going "who is this for, who asked for this, i'm not gonna use this, I have a phone/Discord".

This is why online discourse is dumb and no one listens to gamers - they're never pleased with anything.

@Vyacheslav333 you want a portable console with a giant blu-ray drive attached to it?

Game looks great and you can see it runs at smooth 60fps. Day 1 cop for sure!

@MirrorFate2 Switch 1 players would be able to buy Venom, what Bizzyb offers is basically if you pay 10$ for a Switch 2 version upgrade you'd get him for "free".

The Living Legend.......

"Up to 1 hour"

Just remove the timer at that point like...?

@Zeebor15 i'm a bit confused, Tantalus is doing all 3.....what? Characters? So they're just waiting on all 3 characters to be done before bringing them over all at once?

Cuz if it is then that's kinda dumb for a game focused on online battles, they just left this version out to die for like 7-8 months post release with no new content if we're waiting till Lucy is out :/

LETS GOOOOOOO, exciting times!!!

Too bad the Switch version is still missing Venom, ArcSys just completely abandoned the Switch userbase

@TheBoilerman it's also literally what we've all asked for, so i'm happy that it's "Switch but better" lol

@jwfurness @jowy_sw Nintendo actually already confirmed in the Developer Blog that while running Switch 1 games on Switch 2 it stabilized the framerates and improved loading times, so it's gonna work like the PS5 backcompat.

Games that ran with fluctuations on NS1 should now be stable on NS2 even without upgrades.

@UltimateOtaku91 but Crisis Core Reunion is already on Switch lol Or do you mean a Switch 2 version?

@UltimateOtaku91 Hamaguchi said in the video that Switch 2 is powerful enough to run the whole FF7 Remake series, it's not gonna be on cloud.

@joeyflannel Nate the Hate already said that Rebirth is coming to Switch 2 next year, its not a 5 year exclusivity claw.

FF7 Rebirth advertisement for PS5 literally said that they have only 3 months of exclusivity, after that Square has free reign to do what they want.

I mean....yeah, duh? Why would you bring only the first one in a story focused trilogy, that would be kinda silly lol

Don't care if it's a key card, buying Day 1

Are we gonna make articles about games being key-cards all the time now whenever there is one? It's already getting tiring reading the comments on NL under every story, spiraling into endless moaning and whining about these things without any actual discussion of games at hand.

Yes we know some of you aint buying them, stunning and brave, good for you, don't need to announce it every time.

On the more positive side of this news: Switch 2 is getting the full gold edition with all DLC as it's base version for 60$ which is really nice and bafflingly isn't even mentioned in this very news article.

@Tott its a keycard and it was obvious it would be one. The game is "key-disc" on every other platform without any data on disc and its too big for cartridge anyways.

@The-Chosen-one it's a brand new Switch 2 exclusive version rebuilt with tons of changes, including going from 3 to 4 players online, who would it crossplay with? lol

Yeah I dont really care, I already buy mostly digital and if I see a key card for a good price? I'll grab it without a second thought.

You know on second thought, Switch 2 doesn't look that expensive anymore lmao
