Its honesly alot better than i was expecting (I still remember the terrible OG switch screen) but I do miss my OLED screen. However, I'm happy to play on this for years to come until hopefully an OLED model releases

As long as the hardware does us well for many years im happy, hopefully with some great third party ports coming over the years (as we all know Nintendo will provide solid games for its lifecycle)

I'd be happy with Modern Warfare Remastered, fond memories of the origional

@ViewtifulCool Yep I see this, I've definately had 90% before but then it stops charging, drains somewhat so when I pick it up it can be at 82%, assume at some point it'd start charging again to get to around 90%. Sounds like this is how its supposed to work.

Great the performance issues appear to be resolved, but this could do with a Switch 2 patch, but chances of it happening.....

@Indielink very interested to see how that game runs, will get it for sure. It should highlight what is and is not possible on Switch 2 as what I've heard that game is pretty demanding

Really interested to see how some of the games look in handheld on release

@Finntendo Glad they managed to take the funds in the end! I had a feeling it would happen with mine as the issue occured before with other things, never used PP before but was easy setup and to use with Nintendo store

FYI incase it helps anyone - my preorder with Nintendo store was failed to take payment last week as the pre-verification you have to do with the bank in the uk (using the app to approve a purchase) never happened at all in the process so my bank just declined the purchase - ended up using Paypal in the end which was fine for their retry attempt

Really been enjoying American Arcadia, almost finished (I plan to tonight - a rarity for me to finish games)
Some frame rate hiccups and low resolutions at times though make me think at this time Switch 2 would have been a better target platform

I’ve done everything but 1 Witcher contract in beauclaire and the Netflix dlc - I’m sitting on those to see if a Switch 2 update releases

Great that Switch players will still have games like these to look forward to, though I do hope they receive Switch 2 patches down the line

Loved this game back on the PS1, looking forward to revisting it

@Mattock1987 exactly same boat for me. I’m about 7 hours in but have decided to throw in the towel (I read the story online instead) as it’s take me months to finish, and with Switch 2 weeks away I know what would happen so decided to shelve it permanently

With Switch 2, we wont be leaving the generation with a backlog a mile long like alot may be with Switch - games we bought and never or rarely played. Might be a good thing? I remember when I was young I could only get 1 or 2 games a year and they were treasured and enjoyed to the end. These days im working and have a backlog of games that i'll never play, and rarely complete games now.
This is a good reason for me avoiding games now such as Borderlands, as I get bored of them so quickly, and just to be more selective about what I buy

@BynoShadow Totally agree - they'll have a business case for each game. I think their support of Switch has been pretty decent to be honest, they've brought quite a few titles when you look at it (LA Noire, GTA trilogy and Red Dead) though the way GTA trilogy landed, that stung

@BynoShadow I thought we might have gotten GTA 5 at some point on Switch, but then Red Dead was released so I sort of gave up hope at that stage

I really cant see GTA6 coming to Switch 2, if it does it'd be in a pretty butchered state I imagine. Realistically though Red Dead 2 and GTA 5 I could definately see happening and being really solid ports of the games - I'd be very happy with that as I've played neither

I see it as not a great move but I'm trying to look at it a little more positively. I'm someone who trades in games, especially if they turn out not to be great - I'm thinking if game key cards didnt exist, would all of these current game key card games therefor come to the eshop only and we'd never see a 'physical' release? Thinking like that, these game key cards give me the opportunity to get rid of games, especially ones I dont like, rather than buying via eshop and being stuck with them/all cash lost.
Dont get me wrong, I treasure physicals and Cyberpunk was a no brainer for me to pick up. During the Switch generation I really didnt like the games which required download, like LA Noire, a game I love - I really would like to have that game on the cartridge as a single example
The only issue is, game key cards seem a cheap and easy 'way out' for these developers to avoid paying costs for a true physical - its encouraging them to go game key card rather than true physical which I dont like at all

This reminds me of Guild of Dungeoneering from years back, quite enjoyed that one
Edit: 10 years ago :/

I've been passing the time with some old favourites like company of heroes and trying to get through Assassins Creed Black Flag. Trying to get The Hundred Line done too, but my time is limited so unfortunately I can see myself getting so far in then dropping it

Not my thing as it looks pretty pointless, but looks like it can be addictive to some

@MamaSymphonia indeed thanks for the correction! so it'll be sat there in the 3gb then no doubt with the OS etc

@EVIL-C I have a feeling that 3GB reserved includes RAM for optional game chat implementation, as thats a system level feature. If true, we'll probably lose that RAM in games that dont use game chat - it'll just sit there unused within that 3GB allocation which is a shame

I can see dev's choosing not to implement game chat to utilise the CPU resources more effectively for their game, its a shame but could drop by the wayside.
Of the 3GB reserved by Nintendo, im curious what portion of this is for game chat and if that could be free'd up for game use - my guess is no and that the RAM would just remain unused if game chat isnt implemented/game chat is just 'dormant' in the background when a game not supporting it is running.

I very much doubt i'll have chance to play GTA6 anytime soon, and I doubt it'll ever come to Switch 2, but from what they've shown so far I think it will be a phenominal game that will outsell any other games for quite some time (it will be multiplatform anyway so its a given)
I must admit from what I've seen, I'd love to be able to play it but I dont have space in my life at the moment for a home console bar Switch for portable
I think both games will be worth price of entry, due to the amount of time you'll be able to spend playing either. Interesting debate as I dont doubt Rockstar has put more time into GTA6 and have a denser game than Nintendo have MK, however 2 totally different games. I think it comes down to play time - if you get 120 hour out of both, surely they are both worth the cost of entry at the prices they are asking? Its just Nintendo are more savvy, lower development cost and time investment however they are only selling on 1 platform so natural wont have the bumper sales figures GTA6 will generate

@Pigeon it might come to retail, I picked up 1-3 from Amazon. IIRC that became available around the time Limited Run opened the pre-order window

Round of applause that man, right way to approach physical

I'd have taken a delay on Switch 2 for Nintendo to make more capacities available and do away with key cards. Either physical or eShop (though there would inevitably be the 'Download Required' games)

I fully expected this with the current trend, and it being an Ubisoft game. Buy those actual physicals and treasure them (Cyberpunk/first party) as I've a feeling they'll be few and far between

@kal_el_07241 that one does look good when I saw the trailer

I’m really looking forward to this as a Star Wars fan, I’m just wondering how it’ll run and look. I’ve watched a video or 2 from digital foundry and they think it’s the most ambitious port to Switch 2 and not sure how it’ll run and look. Still, I’m in no need of 60fps, 30fps with dips would suit me

I’d like the rumoured Black Flag remake. Assassins creed origins too.

I cant see this on Switch 2 myself, I think if it did come over it wouldnt look great. Now GTA5, I think there is a good candidate.
I do however hope this comes to Switch 2, however I dont think it'd do the game justice

@Cathalm Likewise, loved Astral Chain. At least Nintendo own the rights so they could have Clover/Eel develop it potentially rather than Platinum - here's hoping we see a sequel

I like this, much more convenient than logging into eShop each time

I’d be surprised if Switch 2 is a better experience than Deck. I (will) have both consoles and the game on each, I’m keen to see how they stack up against each other

Limited Run really shouldnt have anything to do with the Switch 2 release, surely - it seems the polar opposite of what they stand for. In the Switch 2 generation we might have to rely on them more than ever for physical game preservation

Id love the resident evil 2 remake on switch 2

i'd be surprised if we dont see this come over eventually

was really enjoying this but after 3 weeks of (for me) solid playing I had about 15 hours play time total. Knowing how large the game is, and Switch 2 on the horizon I decided to trade it in as I know I'll never complete it.
Instead I read the story online to get closure

Still cant believe this isnt included with the console, I just dont know what Nintendo are thinking.Sony included one I believe with PS5? There was the apperature desk job for Deck which was fun too and they got J.K. Simmons in to voice, that would have cost. I'm not angry or anything, just left baffled and confused by the decision

I’m fancying picking Pikmin 4 back up with spring being here, however part of me is saying to hold on and see if a Switch 2 edition releases, I hope so

@Splash_Woman I preordered from Nintendo and no money has been taken yet, probably not until week before release so you might be ok

To say how keen Nintendo appear to be with their brand and image, and the reams of paperwork they generate, the end product of all this has been a little sloppy with the Switch 2 info and marketing

I've not seen mention of anything from Saber Interactive yet - perhaps they dont have dev kits yet so arent able to line up to start a Switch 2 Edition? I'd love to see it come, as I've a hunt or 2 left to complete in Beauclaire and would love to do that on Switch 2 with higher graphics just to close the game out

I feel for me The Witcher 3 was the BotW moment for me in terms of an open world. Stepping into Xenoblade Chronicles X after both Witcher 3 and BotW make me realise what a fantastic achievement the game was, especially considering it ran on Wii U. I can see why Monolith Soft were brought in to assist on BotW, great team they have there

This was a disappointment for me from the reveal, I would really prefer analog triggers after using them for abit on steam deck in racing games

@NielsNL yeah agree. I have LA Noire physical, love the game - but I think only about 4GB is on cart with about a 17GB download. The game-key in effect to me is the same thing really - once the servers are gone both games are gone. However I can (most likely) trade a game-key game in like i could LA Noire

@MrBelmont hopefully Very have sorted it out since I got TotK (well, tried to get - I have standard now). It might be worth setting up notifications for other stores incase
