Annnd this article turned out to be click bait. According to Mat Piscatella that Switch 2 3rd party games did better than Switch 1, 3rd party games at launch. He said that it was a misleading article. Only one company said they had lower than expected sales. One!
I think I know who it is. WB games. Hogwarts Legacy hasn't done that well on the Switch 2 and it seems like it's not picking up sales.
No1, most people who want that game already own it. No2, key card games, enough said. No3, Joanne Rowling has lost a lot of support over the past year, so the game isn't getting any new fans.
Other titles have held up well like SF6, Yakuza, Split Fiction, Cyberpunk (duh), Bravely Default, etc., but some fans are skipping them because of the key card factor. Stop being lazy and bring the game physical to the Switch 2.
The skill level and RPG elements bring this up another notch. I was expecting this to be a good direct, but this way outdid my expectations.
And, I'm glad Nintendo gave Pauline a voice. It helps bring her to life. She has such a cute and sassy personality. Great job Nintendo! Another banger and we have more to come!
With almost 80 million sold, a lot of people know the PS5 exists. Lol
The Switch 2 will do better, because of the games, but also, 3rd party games will sell great too on the Switch 2. Look at Cyberpunk, SF6, Bravely Default, Yakuza, Sonic and Split Fiction. I can see more 3rd parties focusing on Nintendo and Sony in the future and pulling away from Microsoft. Poor Xbox.
@johnedwin Not necessarily. The drift became less common on the Switch as time went on. So, let's see before we jump the gun. Also, take care of your controllers. That'll help.
You forgot that all versions of Cyberpunk have the weird stutter when they were saving it at certain points.
Also, I've heard the mouse controls are incredible, so maybe that's a you thing. I don't know why CP2077 has the weird stutter in certain parts when you save.
MKW looks amazing and I hope people have fun playing it. I wish I could get a Switch 2, but I gotta wait until I get my bills caught up. I got my rent caught up, so yay for me.

Re: Best Sonic Games Of All Time
Sonic X Shadows is my favorite Sonic game. I loved the mix of old and new, 2D and 3D. It's amazing and I can't wait to play the Switch 2 version.
Re: Nintendo Prioritising Switch 2 Dev Kits For Indies Needing "Extra Oomph", Say Devs

@480frames-please Yet, people haven't complained about it. Do your own research before blindly trusting someone.
Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"
Yet, no one else is complaining about that.
Re: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong
We don't know if it's the full Odyssey team that made Bananza, so let's not jump the gun, but I'll wait until they make the next epic Mario 3D game.
Re: Random: Switch 2 Ad Claims Metroid Prime 4 Is "Out Now"

Re: Say Hello To Pauline In Donkey Kong Bananza
@Scarmucci Thank you.
Re: Reaction: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Instantly Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2025
Wow, even over Samus. That's high praise indeed. I think it's tied Prime 4 for me. Both games look out of this world.
Re: Say Hello To Pauline In Donkey Kong Bananza
@Scarmucci Uh I guess. Wait until the game comes out.

@YunoboCo Your loss. This looks amazing.

Mario Kart is a phenom. Wow! Also, good to see other Switch 2 games hold up. That's a good sign.

Re: As Switch 2 Breaks Records Worldwide, Sony Reminds Us That PS5 Still Exists
Yeah Sony, we know, you're still here. 🤣🤣
With almost 80 million sold, a lot of people know the PS5 exists. Lol
The Switch 2 will do better, because of the games, but also, 3rd party games will sell great too on the Switch 2. Look at Cyberpunk, SF6, Bravely Default, Yakuza, Sonic and Split Fiction.

Re: Review: Mario Kart World (Switch 2) - The Perfect Introduction To A New Console Generation

@Sindayl Funny how people think the soundtrack is amazing. Maybe you're not being fair.
Re: Review: Mario Kart World (Switch 2) - The Perfect Introduction To A New Console Generation
I love Mario Kart games, so I'll probably love this one too. I love the missions, and the open world mode looks fun to me.
I just wonder how many friendships I'll lose because of this game? 8 costed me 4. 🤣🤣

Re: Switch 2 Pro Controller Teardown Gives Us A Good Look At The New Sticks
Now, let's hope the Joy-Cons use better sticks and this will shrink stick-drift big time.
