Caves of Qud is my most anticipated and it was outside the direct but comes in a little more than a week.

I hated Zote's bounce. Now I'll finish the game. It certainly wasn't a skill issue....

@EVIL-C Sorry, I was making two different points. How I was screwed over preordering the most expensive edition of Horizon Forbidden West only to have no disc; and the Bethesda news saying that I love MachineGames, but I'm avoiding Microsoft, so these codes in box make it easier for me to avoid Microsoft properties.

No Amiibo mention, even though Diana has one. RE9 and no others!

After Horizon Forbidden West Regalla Edition had a code in box, I have been highly wary ever since. I have been trying to avoid ALL Microsoft properties, and this just makes it so much easier. Sorry Indy, I was curious about you...

Day one. I've been waiting to find out what the hype is.

I have a couple hundred Switch games and a handful of Switch 2 games. I saw this writing on the wall and I prepared for it. I like my Switch 2 but one does wonder if it was worth it? I think my backlog makes it worth it, but I've never had people be so obtuse to the idea of playing video games. I don't think the industry has done itself favors. Mergers, closings, cancellings, firings, dumb hats, overhype, live service, gacha, and Roblox.
Anyone I try to introduce to games, their eyes just glaze over. I think we've reached peak engagement. So I expect one of two things will happen:
1. The acquisitions stop and the existing companies respect their players time and money.
2. We pretend nothing is wrong and just throw more money on the dumpster fire and hope video games don't end.

@abbyhitter please don't be flippant. They can. They'll just lock the digital file.

$20 hurts, if true. I will not be buying that at that price, so probably never. I still have yet to enjoy the base game.

No Cult of the Lamb yet 😿

I've been waiting. My body is ready.

Has anyone seen Ebola Village?

It means we're all cooked. Look forward to bricked consoles and the like. Hopefully my cartridges won't be affected, but I'm pretty sure if Nintendo wants, my Switch 2 can be rendered inert at any time. Can't get my PlayStation though. Unless there's an update that bricks my console off a disc...

@FrenchVaniIIuxe Hundred Line was my most played game with a bullet. 185 hours, thereabouts.

@EriXz Thank you for your perspective! I will consider this. I hope you are human, but the Avatar isn't helping.

I, for one, am very curious about this. My 8bitdo Ultimate 2Cs are doing all the heavy lifting for me, but I'm always tempted to get something better. Perhaps during a sale....

I'd like to, but my 8bitdo controllers are a third of the price and have hall effect sticks.... Also, I don't think the joycons can be bought alone. I think they require the charging grip to be functional.

Sorry guys, I can't do three.
My number one, even if I have to fight myself, is:
1. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy
2. Ball x Pit Switch 2 Edition
3. Promise Mascot Agency
4. Kirby Air Riders (has to go somewhere)
5. Dave the Diver Switch 2 Edition

Can I put Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition somewhere? Or Skate Story?

@topher6490 Never change. Well, gradually change as necessary. It's hard not to be sold on these games that people gush about, but you need to take multiple viewpoints to determine if it will be right for you. I've bought many a game I regret because they sounded so good...

@nhSnork Not necessarily your point, but can we get that Xbox 360 era Final Fantasy XIII Switch 2 port?

@Lizuka I'm having trouble imagining this happening, but if it did, I would jump back in. Honestly, the other games are just filler upon replay.

@Doctor-Moo it'll just be a Stellar Blade skin

This dude is jacked! I can hardly get through the tutorial level without wheezing. But perhaps I should brush the rails off too and try again. I skimmed the article, but I feel like it went the whole way without mentioning the rhythm game....

@Res462 Thanks for not calling me stupid. Nintendo put out six Switch 2 Editions? BotW, TotK, Metroid Prime 4.... Does it count if they weren't cross gen?

I love the Alternative Awards!! I get not dragging an awards season for clicks, but it's so much fun seeing more games just under the mainstream get seen! Not necessarily better or worse than the premium Game Awards, but more win for the consumer!

Stardew Valley just dropped its Nintendo Switch 2 Edition yesterday. The test is wrong. Silksong, Kirby Forgotten Lands, Metroid Prime 4, BotW, TotK, Jamboree, Ball x Pit....

Pissed. I didn't miss it, I just didn't jump on it. I have the game physically, but wanted to know its performance on the system or MicroSD Express. I saw videos, but wanted to try. Oh well, it'll get back there eventually.

I love Cronos. I'm anticipating a third playthrough. I was sad to see the difficulty change, then realized I must be one of THOSE people. But I love this game so much, I thought maybe an arcade mode or something was being added. An Intergrade dlc, if you will, that might show where this title is going next.
But a difficulty adjustment that makes an extra easy mode? If it gets more people playing. How about during the same update, you bring an extra hard mode?

Great video if you like the game. I suggest you watch it.

@DashKappei Your point makes sense, I'm just saying that we are commenters on an article on a video game website. If someone accepts the limitations that a portable console has, I don't think it's right to say they are gaslighting everyone else. For example, I'm looking forward to Pragmata and I have since the beginning. I preordered a PS5 copy, but I would like to try it on the Switch 2. There are games I will only buy on PlayStation. But since this is a Nintendo forum, I come here for Nintendo details.
Criticisms are welcome by me. It's been this forum that informs me what is or is not a game key-card, and we definitely have apologists for those cards.
You likely never planned to stop posting but your posts are important. I only hope that my posts provide people with ideas as yours do. But I still don't think we need to attack each other over the limitations we accept. It's sad that System Shock has so many problems. But I fear this problem is about to get much worse... In 2026.

@DashKappei What the hell? If your opinion is valid, then so is his. And @JohnnyMind basically lives here. We wait for his opinions, even if we don't agree or relate. Who are you?

Edit: My bad, you've been here a long time. Surely if anyone could question him, it's you, but are we not all different people? We need to coexist. I don't think there's gaslighting going on here...

@PushMyGran86 I wonder what having the Switch 2 dev kit was like for them. They are Nightdive. Perhaps the kits aren't very compatible or that they used most of their expertise doing something else. Who ports the port studio? Or maybe it all just sucks and was gonna suck from day one. Switch 2: the port and patch system.

I will get this, but I'm waiting. I have way too much right now, it gets an "anticipated" marker in my book.

@geox30 I already own the game and I am also expressing my opinion.

@shonenjump86 I have the demo if I get bored, but there's no complete edition. Incredibly long story short, my PS5 is permanently offline. So I need completed games to play them. Although that didn't stop me from loving Cronos: The New Dawn, warts and all.

While we're at it, I'd like a Complete Alan Wake 2, and Elden Ring and.... Probably some others. Baldur's Gate 3!! I'd say Cyberpunk 2077, but I have it on Switch 2 now.

@Teksette You seem to be looking for escape rather than "an experience". Have you tried Lego Voyagers? I've been looking at that to play but everyone around me dislikes videogames. It's sad really. So I'll play the sad dad games 😹

@shonenjump86 I'm curious if I should get both copies... I bailed on Stellar Blade when that got popular, but this seems as niche as I had hoped. (I know, it's hard to live with 😹) I already have the PlayStation copy ordered, but now I'm looking at the Switch 2 version as well...

I've been in since Day One in 2022. But now, do I buy just the PlayStation copy? Or the Switch 2 copy as well? 🤔

@geox30 All the games are expensive. We can only pick and choose what to support. Or do you wish for Nintendo to do a Game Pass?

@MasterGraveheart They don't seem to have any interest in human characters for this game.

I prefer Kirby Kart, but it's good to have competitors.

@MathByThePixel I'm sorry you feel this way. I agree with conservation, but the Indies have been pretty great. Not all great, Switch 2 Edition debacle aside, but I'm happy I bought in when I did because this console will be my last for a while.

@KingChiliPepper Hundred Line. Enough said.

@Mariru Please leave my lolis alone. They've done nothing to you. If you find a child influenced by this in some way, let them know that adults are complicated and such outfits are not actually for them. Lolis are not children. Thank you.

I've come back around to say that I absolutely loved the first game, no question at all. I plan on buying the ultimate version of this, but a little birdy may have said that it goes on discount around Christmas....

@Serpenterror Yay! Someone else sees the connective tissue here! Ever since this reveal, I've been shouting from the rooftops that Reanimal is a spiritual sequel to Inside.

Fingers crossed it's not a key card...

I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2. Playing through the prologue still, but having a good time (again). I wanted to say something about the frame rate. Idk about these other games, but I think I'm running Cyberpunk at 30-40fps, and I feel like it's something about the portable nature or the Switch 2's screen, but the game looks more cinematic than when I played it at 60fps on PS5. I need to do a back to back comparison, but I think the Switch 2 has something that makes 30fps look gorgeous. Any sacrifices made for Cyberpunk or for FFVII Remake Intergrade will not be missed if you're traveling and playing these.

All in. All I needed was the first trailer.

Slow down guys. I've only seen forty endings from Hundred Line...

@RunGMhx You should play Animal Well, if you haven't.
