@LastFootnote I think it is intentional? If it were available at release, what would be there to stop people from just transferring high level Pokemon in to breeze through the game?
Kudos to Capcom indeed. I went from no interest in this game to buying the Generations Pack after seeing reviews were positive on both Switch 2 performance and the game overall.
Haven’t played a RE game since Revelations on 3DS. Excited to play this tomorrow.
Advertising the DLC costumes with a generic t-pose is hilarious to me.
Considering they quickly went from indefinite delay back to a firm release date, I am going to hope this is due to performance and not censorship. I never tried refunding my Switch 1 copy so hopefully the Switch 2 version will be worth the additional cost to upgrade.
Its so confusing to me how reddit seems to think this is a bad upgrade due to handheld performance but I can't notice anything terrible and most non-reddit places don't seem to either.
Also, as much as I love Xenoblade Chronicles 2 the most, I hope some kind of upgrade for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is next. That game would really benefit from a simple resolution bump.
I hope they optimize it with good performance and quality modes. The Steam Deck version seems to target performance so the visual quality (especially the character models) take a big hit.
Higher quality character/enemy models with slightly lower quality environment textures and 30 fps like FFVIIR would be ideal imo.
Huh, that is interesting. I had assumed Salmon was already getting re-run content. Pretty cool they kept it going with new stuff this long.
I just wish Salmon run was more fun for me to play with randoms. It seemed like once I hit "Professional" rank, shifts became more frustrating then fun due to the difficulty spikes. The long grind for shells didn't help either.
It’s frustrating how messy this situation is. I think both sides are at fault.
I really want to hope that Nintendo relaxes whatever new guidelines they have and just lets ESRB and other rating boards do their job. The only difference I can find between Cyberpunk and Dispatch is one has a realistic artstyle and the other has a cartoon artstyle.
Ad-Hoc should have simply announced that the Switch versions would be different ahead of time so that many of us weren’t completely blindsided when the game released and reviews came out.
This release should have been an easy win for Switch players. Instead, we get worry how much content is going to be restored and if the developer will even bother with the platform for future content in the series.
@LinktotheFuture Maybe yeah? It was highly discussed during its release on PC and PS5. Even before all this discourse, it was high on the eShop charts just from pre-orders.
Nothing about Nintendo’s statement says they couldn’t have simply told Ad-Hoc the game didn’t meet their standards.
That said, I’d like to hope that wasn’t the case because there’s already more explicit content in Cyberpunk and these kind of guidelines would absolutely affect some third party support.
Personally, I’m hoping we get a patch that removes the censorship but I guess I won’t hold my breath. I’m already on Chapter 4 but I’ll probably buy the game again when it goes sale again via Steam.
Edit: Also, that picture of Malevola that was edited for the eShop listing is NOT edited ingame. Monkeys paw. 🤪
There are a LOT of first party games that could use updates. I kind of expected we would get them more often but finding out that a bunch of these were outsourced rather than done internally was disillusioning for me.
This is one of those games that I had no interest in initially but now that I've seen the Switch 2 reviews, it actually looks really appealing in general. I'm gonna wait and try and get through Age of Imprisonment and Three Hopes before picking this up.
1) Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definition Edition
2) Persona 5 Royal
3) Fire Emblem Three Houses.
I thought at least Cyberpunk or Pokemon would make my top 3 as the single Switch 2 game lol. But yeah, even though I'm playing Switch 2 games, that Switch 1 backwards compatibility is a great benefit for Switch 2.

I think I am at the last stretch. The game is excellent.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite 3DS Model?
I really liked the XL models so the 3DS XL and New 3DS XL are my picks.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Team Consistently Aiming For 30fps On Switch 2 "Wherever Possible"
@Spoony_Tech But at a comparable image quality?
Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade
>Game comes out; releases close to Switch 2 so lots of people say they want a SW2 edition and 60 fps before they can play it
>Switch 2 edition comes out with 60 fps but people complain about the image quality
SIGH.
Hopefully they fix this soon. I'm tired of seeing nothing but discourse.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 8 Pokémon?
This is the Pokémon gen I started with. The Scorbunny evolution line are my favorite Pokémon.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Gets Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade, Out Now
I wish they could have had this available at Switch 2's launch but better late than never.
I am so happy for this and I already have the upgrade downloading.

Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Switch 2 Price Hike This Year, According To New Report
Well that blows. =/
While this won't affect me directly since I got one at launch, any price increase is not going to be good for system sales.
Re: Review: Ys X: Proud Nordics (Switch 2) - The Definitive Version Of Adol Christin's Seafaring Saga
I liked what I played of the Switch 1 demo awhile back. I'll be sure to pick this up eventually.
Re: Subnautica & Subnautica: Below Zero Appear To Be Getting Switch 2 Upgrades
Kicking myself for not getting Subnautica when it was on sale recently. Oh well, I'll grab it during the next sale.
Re: Tales Of Arise - Switch 2 Performance And Resolution Revealed
Tbh, I'm fine with 30 fps if it means native resolution in handheld mode.
They should have added a performance and quality mode like Digimon tho.
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch And Switch 2 Partner Direct Game In New Infographic
Personally, I thought the Direct was great and there was a lot of stuff that I'm interested in.
Re: Splatoon 3's New Job Scenarios Are Wrapping Up With The Next Eggstra Work Event

Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 5th February 2026
Cool. I hope that rumor on native Kingdom Hearts ports ends up true.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects (January 2026)
Just finished Dispatch last night. I really enjoyed the story.
Re: Poll: What Nintendo Switch 2 Games Are You Most Excited For In 2026?
Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave
Splatoon Raiders
Elden Ring
Pragmata (depends on the Switch demo)
Orbitals

Re: PSA: Dispatch's 'Visual Censorship' Settings Can't Be Removed On Switch
This is not setting a good precedent for the start of the Switch 2 generation.
The game was at #2 on the Switch 2 eShop charts. A lot of people (myself included) are going to be upset.
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct May Be Coming As Soon As Next Week
Yeah, I’m hopeful for a February Direct. Personally, I want to see some more RPG announcements.
Re: The Fable Reboot Is Reportedly "Under Consideration" For Switch 2
I watched the deep dive from yesterday and I think the game looks pretty good.
If it's not highly compromised, I'd be interested in a Switch 2 version.

You love to see it. Now give us native ports of the KH saga while you are at it SE.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade On Switch 2
Here's hoping the rest of the trilogy gets good Switch 2 ports.
I was gonna wait to play this but I think I'll just start downloading it tomorrow lol.
Re: Video: Nintendo Highlights Enhanced Switch Games On Switch 2

This is probably the new dripfeed. 🫠
Re: Review: Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Switch 2) - A Super-Solid Port Of A Fantastic Reboot
@3Dburn If that's true, playing Origins first will make it hard to complete the other two games later lol.
Re: Review: Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Switch 2) - A Super-Solid Port Of A Fantastic Reboot
Thanks for the review!
This is one of those games that I had no interest in initially but now that I've seen the Switch 2 reviews, it actually looks really appealing in general. I'm gonna wait and try and get through Age of Imprisonment and Three Hopes before picking this up.
Re: The Live-Action Zelda Movie Is Coming To Netflix
The headline was immediately worrisome to me but confirmation of the theatrical AND home media releases puts me at ease.
I guess this is good for exposure. Would have been better to wait until after the movie already had its theatrical release to announce this imo.
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Cheap Upgrade, But Lacking Substance

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2025 - Our Most Played Games
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition was my most played game of 2025 with 110 hours. Not even done with it either lol.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2025 'Year In Review' Is Available Now
99 games, 1236 hours.
1) Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definition Edition
2) Persona 5 Royal
3) Fire Emblem Three Houses.
I thought at least Cyberpunk or Pokemon would make my top 3 as the single Switch 2 game lol. But yeah, even though I'm playing Switch 2 games, that Switch 1 backwards compatibility is a great benefit for Switch 2.
I can't really decide on a favorite.
