The game is obviously coming to Switch 2 if you watch recent interviews with Josef Fares, whenever people ask him about NS2 he's being very cheeky about it.
Here's hoping they'll update it for Switch 2 once its out, the current state of this game on Switch is unacceptable when even PS360 versions ran them at 60fps
@X68000 we already know the internals and clock speeds from the shipping data and leaks. This thing is more powerful than the Deck. The fact that you're even asking if the Steam Deck will be able to emulate Switch 2 is silly lol
This game is such a technical mess that I would rather they port and make some sort of "Monster Hunter World Ultimate" for Switch 2 during it's launch window, meanwhile they're working on a NS2 focused Monster Hunter like Rise which is probably still a couple of years away.
@SigmaNoire it looks like Nintendo was supposed to handle physical distribution in the west but now any mention of physical pre-orders is gone from the official websites, there must've been a falling out.
Only the Japanese website mentions getting physical copies on Switch and PS5 meaning Level-5 must be handling it by themselves and only for Japan.
So let me get this straight, they kept constantly delaying the game for Switch owners just so they could make it multiplat, now they announce a "Digital Deluxe Edition" that comes with 3 Day Early Access for literally every single new platform they announced - except Switch?
Is this some kind of joke?
Update:
Physical version is now canceled for the west and the game is now 10$/€ more expensive on Switch to subsidize the game going multiplat.
It's kinda f'ed up if they kept constantly delaying the Switch version just because they wanted to make it multiplatform, especially when everyone in their mother knows it will sell the best on Nintendo regardless.
@MirrorFate2 wut? I'd understand saying this when they added Iggy's Reckin Balls or whatever but not when its RIIIIIIDGE RACEEEEEER.
I wanted this and i'm happy, i'm pretty sure plenty of other people who don't play ONLY 1st party games on Nintendo consoles are happy about this as well.
@TomSupreme yeah, its now at a much more playable state and looks significantly better than it did on launch. After all the patchwork Shiver has done i'd even go as far as to say that its a better port than MK11 was.
I suggest you to look up videos on it, several people always make them on MK1 Switch updates if you wanna see the difference yourself!
@Lofoten they mention in the description of the trailer that it features late game spoilers so they knew what they were doing with this trailer, i'm just questioning why not put that warning right before the trailer starts so that the viewer knows? Ain't nobody reading the description before the trailer starts, this is so Nintendo archaic so I guess it's on brand lol
Next brand new MvC game better come to a Nintendo platform after how much support we've shown to this collection.
I hate when devs do this kinda thing, they make a rerelease of a classic, it sells overwhelmingly the best on Nintendo and then they make a brand new game that releases on everything under the sun EXCEPT the Nintendo console cough cough Visions of Mana COUGH
What is it with Nintendo trying to piss off literally every avenue of gamers online this year right before their next big console launch? First - everyone, from developers to players, are getting tired of them dragging the whole generation with their ancient Jurassic tablet this year, then the whole industry getting rilled up from Palworld and the whole lawsuit shinenanigans, taking down roms and emulators which rile up big youtubers to go against you(I understand them doing this, but it still creates a chunk of people yelling at them online) and now they're going after niche Japanese games again? I noticed this with some games recently like "Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Spring" being released on PS and skipping Switch in the US for no apperant reason but now it's becoming even more prevelant.
Neptunia games are so tame, they're rated T, why the hell would you block multiple games that are ready for release from a partner you were just showing off as "building relationships" with during your last investors meeting? I was waiting for proper Neptunia games to finally hit the Switch, I wanted to play the first 3 games and as soon as we're finally close to getting them - this BS happens, I can't play them anymore unless I go to different avenues like PC or PS Vita because Nintendo apparently wants to play my parent and tell me what I can and can't play. They allow literal garbage like AI picture hentai slop that gets rereleased every week yet real games get told to f&ck off.
Extremely dissapointed with this news and it's now a definite sour spot for the upcoming next generation of Nintendo.
The problem with these 2 making handhelds is that idk who they're making them for besides their diehard consumers.
The reports and rumors are saying that both of these are being made to play the existing Playstation/Xbox libraries, they aren't gonna be some kind of unique devices.
And I hate saying this cuz i'm tired of hearing it as a Nintendo fan myself but if you wanted that today, you'd literally just get a PC handheld. They get Playstation and Xbox games already because they both release their games on PC.
If somebody wanted a portable Xbox/Playstation experiences, the market is already completely saturated with options for that. I already have my prefered portable console in Nintendo and I buy Playstation consoles alongside it as well. I don't really need a portable Playstation.
@Arawn93 I know all that, i'm not asking for it to be ported to other platforms, I wanna buy it on Switch lol
It's just frustrating to constantly see NEO TWEWY on eshop for like 20$ almost every sale yet the original TWEWY, which I wanna buy, is just deadlocked to be forever 50$.
Square needs to get publishing rights from Nintendo to TWEWY on Switch as well, that game never goes on sale anywhere besides Japan where it doesn't have other languages available.
My friend works as a teacher in China rn and he said everyone basically buys the "region-free" Switches that they import from Japan or other regions anyways, so this isn't that big of a deal for Chinese console gamers in the end.
@Toastmaster moot point, your Legion Go and Rog Ally play games that released on PS5 but they don't play them at PS5 equivalent settings/framerate/resolution and those are 800$+ PC handhelds you can tinker with, not locked down console ecosystem.
This is talking about PS5 games playing natively, meaning the already fully existing PS5 library on PSN rn without any changes to them. As in this handheld will just boot up and it plays all your PS5 games at the same settings, settings that need a monolith sized console.
You can say "well they'll just patch the games to lower settings and resolutions to fit them for this handheld" but that still doesn't make any sense and makes this claim even dumber. They'd need to patch literally thousands and thousands of games on PSN for "portable mode" meaning games that arent patched are more than likely gonna be blacklisted from being playable.
Do you see Sony doing that and going thru this long process in any conceivable way while also telling 3rd party devs to do that? For a more than likely niche device like this? Do I need to remind you about Playstation TV? Devs couldn't be bothered just turning off PS Vita features to whitelist their games, what makes you think they wanna go back and literally rebuild the PS5 games around this portable hardware and patch them for free?
The games just got updated on my Switch and holy *****, is it me or they look so much better now? It doesn't look blurry anymore and the classic lighting looks so much better in general!
Y'all keep saying "it will affect all of gaming" yet Nintendo doesn't go after other monster catching games, this argument is so bad faith and just baseless fearmongering.
Now try and think why they're using patents to go after this ONE game all of a sudden? It couldn't be because it's a blatant copy of Pokemon design language to the point where everyone online called it "Pokemon with guns"? Naaaaaaaah, no way!
Uhhhh, did you guys take down your sponsored gameplay on your Youtube channel because of the poor review? I'm not tripping right? I'm not the only one who saw Nintendo Life post a sponsored gameplay video for this game today, right? lol
@epicgamner alright that's fine and dandy but then why is early access thru Digital Deluxe edition available on every single platform yet Switch is excluded?
It's hilarious because Nintendo did get "early access" in a way with all the leaking of the Switch version online. I guess that's our early access lol
Giving out early review codes for only 1 specific platform is beyond stupid. I guess that Playstation check was really good and reached beyond just advertisement rights.
Whenever a publisher does the "you wont get a code until it launches" also makes me feel like they're trying to hide something, especially when it's a multiplatform release on Switch.
I'm so tired of these giant multi-billion dollar publishers cheaping out on making their own physical print runs and working with Limited Run instead.
It makes sense for Indie games to work with them and LRG was made for those indie games to have physical runs to begin with but now Sega, Microsoft, Konami, Capcom etc are all just doing this regularly and it's so slimy and such complete BS especially to people from other continents of the world.
How the hell is there still no release date? There's only 3 months left in the year, how much more can they prolong this? Unless this is a shadowdrop game or something
@ZZalapski i'm sure SF6 is coming to Switch 2, Nakayama and Matsumoto said so themselves when they were interviewed by Game Informer that they want the new game on a Nintendo platform and that "there's a chance in the future".
