1080p in handheld mode is really surprising (even if it's through DLSS)

But I guess they are upscaling from a way lower resolution compared to docked cause otherwise I don't see why it would run at 1080p both docked and in handheld mode considering that docked has more performance headroom

If they don't add Lederhosn Luigi with his sausage cart I'll be disappointed

We already know that the Switch 1 Pro controller works on Switch 2 games but do we know if the Switch 2 Pro controller works on Switch 1 games?

Would be annoying if not

I like how the Switch 2 appears to be slightly smaller than the Steam Deck despite the screen being bigger

I like the Steam Deck but it always was a bit to chunky for me

@CheapCheepBeach Good luck trying to fit the specs of the Series S into the form factor of the Switch 2

It's always so confusing to read stuff like "The Switch 2 costs more than the PS5 Digital while being far weaker" while completely ignoring that the Switch 2 probably fits like 20x into the PS5

Kinda funny, I applied for both the Switch 2 + MKWorld bundle and the regular Switch 2 because I was hoping to get at least one of them

Got an invitation to preorder the Switch 2 + MKWorld bundle on friday and yesterday they sent me an email that I did not get an invitation for the regular Switch 2 and I was like: "Oh no! Anyway"

And the only ones who will use it are CP Red and big (as in file size) first party games

@Rykdrew Sorry but this is not true, I own an Ally X myself and there is no way the game runs at 900p 90fps unless you maybe run it at Low settings, FSR (Ultra) Performance with frame gen on

And you especially don't get 3:20h out of it, because with the 80w battery of the Ally the total power draw to achieve that would be ~24w and that would mean the Z1E chip only gets about 15w (since screen, fans etc also need some power) and there is no way to get 900p 90fps on 15w

They managed to get me hyped for their newest game only for me to find out that it has PVP/multiplayer focus twice within less than half a year

Not being OLED is a shame but having 120fps, HDR and VRR (which they didn't mention in the Direct for some reason) is a nice trade off

No surprise that it wouldn't effect early adoption since it's the hardcore fans who get it day one

What's more interesting is how well it does in the long run

@Duboiss Why would they get sued? Most publishers don't differentiate between the console versions in the name of their game

For example the PS4, PS5 and Steam version "God of War: Ragnarök" are all called the same. They didn't name the PS5 version "God of War: Ragnarök - PS5 Edition"

Don't really get why they would add "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" to Metroid Prime 4 (and probably Legends ZA)

I get that for already existing games like TotK but MP4 most likely launches the very same day for Switch 2 as it does for Switch. Just leave that "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" away in that case

The Switch version of Breath of the Wild wasn't called "Breath of the Wild - Switch Edition" after all

We finally get a performance patch for Pokemon SV and it only costs 470€

(but very nice though)

I wonder if this game is made by the 3D Mario team

Have already played through this game mutliple times but I'll gladly play through it again on Switch 2

I just wish I could preorder now to get it over with

This game running 4k60fps is insane (even if it's most likely upscaled 4k)

Finally I can play The Wind Waker at a higher resolution than the original. Oh wait

But very excited to see Gamecube games back

A brand new From Software game exclusive for Switch 2 was not on my bingo card

Dynamic day and weather and open world in a game that looks as good as MK8DX (if not better) is amazing

About the same length as the Switch presentation back in 2017. Very excting

"Dave The Diver: Remastered"
If Dave The Diver were made by Sony

Having a headphone jack is something I really like about PS controllers

Still hope that the current Pro controller works with Switch 2 games as well though

For a Direct that aired 6 days before the huge Switch 2 Direct I'd say it was alright

@OctolingKing13 "the voice acting is terrifying" that's part of the charm of the game

Can't belive we actually finally get a new Tomodachi Life. 9 years after release of the Switch nonetheless

I honestly only want to see missing ports/remasters like TWWHD+TPHD, MP2&3 Remastered, Mario Galaxy 2

New stuff I'd much rather want to see on Switch 2

Nintendo is a weird company

Xenoblade Chronicles (Se)X

Releasing the game now and then a 60fps a few months later when the Switch 2 releases would be kinda annoying

I mean sure, it would be very nice but if Nintendo actually releases a 60fps patch I'd have prefered it if they just released the game a few months later

I'm just happy that the game looks great in handheld mode

That's one of the biggest reasons why I wanted a port in the first place despite owning the Wii U version

I wish they'd ship one to me

All easily 10/10 including X.

Playing a sample voice sound file while announcing the voice actors would have been a great idea

Nah, I looks better than SV but not nearly good enough for Switch 2

Thx, I didn't feel old enough already today

Never used Chikorita since its type matchup in Johto is aweful so I might pick it here

Also there is a very likely chance that we'll get Mega-Meganium lol

Speaking of the flying theme: As much as I like it I really hope they include an option to turn it off. Kinda annoying that it would start each time you fly (even if it's only for a little bit) and therefore cuts of the overworld theme

Looks actually alright imo (for a Pokemon game at least) graphically and also seems to run fine.
Wonder what the gameplay loop/exploration will look like when the entire game takes place inside a city

Also two Gen 2 starters is an interesting decision. Wonder why they didn't go with a Gen 4/7/8 starter instead

Looking forward to replaying Sacred Cards.

Kinda a shame that WC2006 isnt included since I played that one a lot but I get that they want to focus on the original era, not the GX era

After BDSP I don't want remakes anymore. I have been waiting for DP remakes since ORAS but BDSP felt like a punch in the face

How's the resolution in handheld mode (if you even got to try it out)?
But running at 1080p in docked mode makes me confident that it may look decent in handheld mode

Cause the resolution in handheld mode is my biggest problem with the other XC games on Switch

I often see people recommending the N64 version to people who have never played MM before because they don't like some changes in MM3D.

But the thing is that a person who never played MM would not know what the changes are or notice them to begin with so why would they care? But they most certainly would notice the better graphics, framerate etc of MM3D

The LCD screen on e.g. the ROG Ally is so good that the difference in quality between it and an OLED screen is pretty minor

But if it as an LCD screen like the original Steam Deck, that wouldn't be great

@micke826 I agree, I play a lot outside during the summer and a LCD screen definitely is better for that than an OLED screen

@PikminMarioKirby I think a brand new Monster Hunter game will do good enough on it's own, without being an early Switch 2 game

Currently playing the first game, definitely will play this game sometime in the future

Also I don't get how some developers don't seem to understand that small text on a handheld may not be a good idea

Finally a good time for europeans, unlike the Switch 1 presentation that was at 4am lol

@HolyGeez03 I think a game like Mario Maker in docked mode would definitely be better with a mouse like device than a pointer

Kinda wild that they would announce Legends Z-A and than not show anything for a whole year.

Especially since usually the time between announcement and the actual release for a Pokemon game is shorter than the time between the announcment and the first proper trailer for Z-A.
