I'm still (falsely?) confident they will replace it with a new scheme once the generational transition phase is through.

@Medic_alert Confirmation bias reigns supreme.

But yes, pat yourselves on the back everyone. Well done!

Execs understand sales data, not complainy comments in fan forums. This is the way.

@Freek All good!

It's become rather reflexive … maybe I should stop posting for a while. 😅

@Freek ARMS, Big Brain Academy, Captain Toad, Clubhouse Games, Game Builder Garage, NSMBD, Pokemon Scarlet, Pokemon Violet, Splatoon, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Odyssey, LoZ Echoes + Link’s Awakening, tbc?

@Duncanballs That might very well be. Judging by the box art it‘s either a September or a November game.

Shadow drop during September Direct. There‘s already been enough hype and promo to launch a new Metroid game.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant "lol ok 👍"

And as I wrote, you're free to chose if it is worth it to you.

"yes, I was amazed to find out that your ~500.00 doesn't even buy you the performance upgrades for the games youve already bought, on the console you already bought. 🙄 (in some cases already bought TWICE, on two different consoles...)"

Almost all Switch 1 games run better on Switch 2 out of the box, purely on increased hardware power and the ongoing support work to increase compatibility. If additional work is required, studios themselves should decide if they offer their upgrades for free (like in the case of No Man's Sky and several of Nintendo's first party titles) or charge for their effort. And you in turn have to decide if it's worth your coin.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant BOTW and TOTK have the whole Zelda Notes thing (of which I'm not a fan and which I do not use) and reworked the textures. That classifies as additional content and light remaster work, I think. How you judge the worth of it to you personally is another story of course. Entirely free upgrades include ARMS, Big Brain Academy, Captain Toad, Clubhouse Games, Game Builder Garage, NSMBD, Pokemon Scarlet, Pokemon Violet, Splatoon, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Odyssey, LOZ Echoes and Links Awakening …

@OmnitronVariant Well, Pokemon always played to it's own tune … but congratulations, you found the exception.
But I have to say, you don't really seem to own your mistake or at least try to make the best of it. Instead you create an NL account for the sole purpose of suffering your decision in public and complaining about Nintendo/Switch2 … or am I wrong?

@OmnitronVariant Then you should keep to your PC and it's open ended design. Go tweak your games to your hearts content. But if you like a consoles' plug and play factor, that comes with certain concessions. As they are closed systems the games are specifically tailored to those and an upgrade in turn often means additional optimization work. Nonetheless all Switch 2 first party upgrades that were purely on performance are 100% free, only those with additional content you have to pay for. Is the additional content worth your money? That's the question here. You decide! But comparing it to PC gaming …

The Latte Float Canisters (what is a Latte Float Canister by the way? 😅) are just adorable!

@SalvorHardin Yes, it's never enough it seems. But I just tried it and it looks and runs perfectly and everything is just so snappy – you can be in the middle of the game in a matter of seconds and it's all just buttery smooth and shiny and crisp.
"The cut rate animations for background enemies in the original is impossible not to notice." Funnily enough I quite liked those animations (as a workaround) in the original. Gave the whole thing a cartoony vibe.

@OneArmedGiant All good my friend, let's keep our 🧠s nice and shiny. ✨

@ghooosty Thank‘s! It really felt rather dry at the beginning, but maybe I should give it another go.

@OneArmedGiant Well that‘s a bit rude, he/she/it‘s obviously trying.

Bounced off twice … maybe three‘s a charm? Or maybe I‘ll see if Silksong finally keeps me engaged?

@OmnitronVariant Well, obviously. I’m sorry the heavy irony in my post is not being picked up on …

@Ramouz Switch 1 = rubbish!? Hot take, I guess many here on NL wholeheartedly agree. 😂

@OmnitronVariant Probably better, them cartridges don‘t taste yummy …

Of course it does!! Happy to hear nonetheless.

Such a beautiful and fun game – and even more so now. Can‘t wait to go back to it! Thanks for the side by side footage.

@BaldB3lper78 Yeah, absolutely. I especially love the DK Banaza and MKW upgrades! And that‘s just first party games. Street Fighter 6 also received a hefty upgrade pack, not to mention Cyberpunk and Fast Fusion. They all ran quite poorly on Switch.

Already downloaded to my Switch 2, it hasn't been that long but I'm happy to jump back in come tomorrow! Funnily enough I bounced off of the demo twice before giving it a go when it went on sale last year … and the demo was totally lying, it's fantastic.

@Picola-Wicola It is, isn't it!? People seem to be forgetting they are on a Nintendo site. Is this game fun to play(?), should be the question to ask. I know performance plays a part, but it's not the end all be all. Leave the tech-spec-race to PC, Xbox, and Playstation gaming.

Great, I'm still missing Dream Buffet and the Forgotten Land. The Return to Dreamland theme is from my first Maximus Cup. Played every cup since, but this is still by far my favorite theme of them all.

A fan is someone who likes and supports something/someone, all the while being free to stop and part ways once this affection comes to an end. Modern "fandom" on the other hand is taking intellectual ownership of something/someone and therefore feeling entitled to bully them into submission should they dare deviate from a very narrow set of preconceptions. Nintendo caters to the former.

@MSaturn I fully agree!

The definition of fan and the (obsessive) degree of their fanhood should also be taken into account here … I’m certain that many of the very vocal nitpickers that are trolling the online spaces (who of course see themselves as the only true fans) are rather seen as a toxic byproduct and not taken too much into consideration.

Have seen this elsewhere already … just a filler to fuel the already heated discussion … because there is really not much to be gleaned from that video.

To each their own, but I'd say Suda51 can keep it.

Dressing up as Flash Gordon and going to a sci-fi themed birthday party. 😂 Some Switch 2 then probably tomorrow – Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, TotK, Hogwarts Legacy or some Mario Maker 2. Happy Gaming!

Both fantastic games, both well deserved! Love to see a title like DK ahead of RE Requiem. Watched the Opening Night and wondered what‘s up with gaming? All grimdark, all grey and brown color palettes, soulslike chasing war game (two tank games wtf?) chasing horror game chasing soulslike … quite depressing. DK and MKW have so much more charm and personality. And are great fun, both!

@Not_Soos Talking about hand drawn games, there is new trailer out (saw it on Steam) for the Eternal Life of Goldman. That has to be my most anticipated game atm. It absolutely looks to die for.

@DNL I want a Switch 2 version (or at least a patch to make use of it’s power) for everything coming out these days! So much potential …

Looks great, hopefully plays great too!

@The-Chosen-one It‘s still on for two more days until the 24th … unfortunately (or not) I have other plans for the weekend.

Hab leider zu spät dran gedacht, sonst hätte ich mir bestimmt Tickets besorgt. Köln ist nur 2 1/2 Stunden mit dem Zug entfernt … nächstes Jahr, ganz bestimmt!
I didn‘t realize it was so soon, otherwise I would have gotten tickets. Cologne‘s just a 2.5 hrs train ride away … next year for sure!
Like the subhead by the way.

All in all no biggie … It really gets interesting when we get to see how Indiana Jones shapes up. Machine Games got Wolfenstein II to run on Switch after all and – judging from the comments here – Fromsoft do not have the best track record.

Learning a new fighter is one thing, but learning a new way to control the game on top … well it's not for me, but happy for those who have been waiting for such a controller. I'm with @Pillowpants on this: quite happy with modern controls in SF6, though especially for handheld play (without the D-Pad).

Considering how prominently Fromsoft's titles were featured in the Switch 2 Direct (and Ask the Developer interviews), I can see Nintendo stepping in now and offering heavy support to whip this game into shape.

@Medic_alert Agree, the yardstick for what's possible (in the case of Fromsoft at least) on Switch 2 should rather be The Duskbloods which is being developed exclusively for the system.

@Suketoudara A new Extreme G? I'd be all for it.
Otherwise I don't know what to expect or who's behind the revived company. Most successful IPs were sold off when they went bust …

If it‘s 14,99 again I might get it and fall off again a few biomes in, or not (?)… just to play it on Switch 2 in 120fps. Happy for everyone who‘s been desperately waiting!

Out in two weeks, September 4th!

300.000 watching!

@Haruki_NLI Yes, I‘ve been asking my Switch for French Toast for years now …

Didn‘t change the controls. A was jump on GameBoy too. 😉

@Wakkawipeout Maybe I‘m mistaken, but aren‘t the MK Deadly Alliance and MK Advance logos also in the video (along with 4 and Trilogy)? Or is the screen just a historical overview?

@Mando44646 This game is six years old … but oh well, maybe you could start a petition?!

I‘ll gladly pre-order … as soon as a Switch 2 version / upgrade is announced. Thanks SEGA!

Sat on my whishlist for like forever, I think I‘ll bite!
