It's really impressive to see a recent AAA game like this running this good on the Switch 2. And I'm sure it will get even better with some patches, like Star Wars. It will end up being pretty much the same as the Series S version, which is amazing.
After this, RE9 and 007, it will be clear that, if a game is not announced for the Switch 2, it's because the company doesn't want to, not because the machine is not powerful enough.
@Denoloco You said that the Nintendolife sentence about the Switch 1 not supporting the HDR, unlike the Switch 2, "only applies to the docked experience". And that's NOT true, no matter how you see it, as the Switch 2 screen also supports HDR, even though it's not as great as it could be.
Already preordered! Even though my expectation have lowered a little bit after the reviews here and there, I'm still looking forward to playing it. Actually, going with lower expectations could be better, as that affects the way you enjoy things.
Metroid Prime 4, Assassins Creed Shadows, Red Dead Redemption (Switch 2 edition), Octopath Traveler 0, Sonic Racing Crossworlds (Switch 2 edition), Marvel Cosmic Invasion... What a week for Switch 2 owners! I'm interested in literally all of them...
I'm so glad they delayed it, it's looking really good. Elden Ring is such an amazing game, although I've never played the DLC. I'm definitely getting the Switch 2 version if it's good enough, and playing the whole game again plus the DLC.
Fantastic game back in the day! I liked it even more than the first one.
However, I really hope they make a GOOD port this time, and also that they fix the first one... What a mess they're doing with such an amazing series.
It's still hard to believe this is running on a Nintendo console... I'm convinced this will be patched to avoid fps drops when undocked, as it's the main way people will play the game on Switch 2. Also, it's certain this will get a cut in price pretty soon (Ubisoft being Ubisoft), and this is the week of Metroid.
Therefore, even though I really want to play this game, I'll wait a couple of months before I jump in. By then I'm sure it will be AWESOME. Same as Star Wars Outlaws.
Replaying Bowser's Fury at the moment (with the Switch 2 upgrade it looks great!). Eagerly waiting for Metroid to come home already!! Just a few days, guys!
I'm glad the game turned out well, same as Fantasy Life i. Now I'm more confident Professor Layton and Decapolice will also be great games, which is good, very good. Level 5 is definitely back!
That's great to hear! I'm not getting the game yet, as other ones have priority (and I just got the Switch 2 lol), but I'll get it eventually for sure. I'm sure it'll be so much fun!
This is gonna be HUGE. I'll get the game eventually, but not now, Metroid comes first. I hope they release a demo though, I'd love to see how impressive it looks!
Finally! A Switch 2 upgrade would be nicer, of course, but this is enough reason to give the game a shot (it's been sitting in the backlog for a while). Although I'm afraid it'll have to wait until I'm done with Metroid...
I'm sorry, but 30 fps for a fighting game and a racing game is unacceptable. I'll wait for the performance mode upgrade, otherwise I'll pass. Same with Sonic Racing when in 4 players split screen. Companies should start adding the performance mode from now on, or else they'll lose a lot of potential consumers.
@OldGamer999 Even though it isn't, Metroid Prime 4 does look like a Switch 2 exclusive. It looks and runs INCREDIBLE and uses all Switch 2 capabilities. And it's an AAA game.
Very strange that Blue Prince won the Best Indie Game over Silksong and Hades 2, and that Ghost of Yotei won the Best Console Game over DK Bananza... But I guess it's all a matter of tastes.
With this game, same as with Mario Kart, I'll wait till it's complete and on a good sale. No rush. And in Sonic's case, I'll play it on Switch 2, of course. Let's hope they add 60fps when in 4 players mode by then!
Kirby is the only one I'll get as soon as possible.
PS: Metro Game Central SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN! No way they give a score of 4/10 to every Nintendo game... That's insane. How can we complain to Metacritic?
@BlackenedHalo You talk like that because EVERY game is translated to, at least, English. If you weren't from an English-speaking country, you might think differently. By any chance do you speak any other language? Fluently, I mean, not just a few random words. English speakers do not NEED to learn anything else, you lucky people, but the rest of the world do... Be at least a bit considerate.
@RainbowSplatter Well, basically because Spanish is the world's second-most spoken native language, with over 630 million speakers, while Dutch only has about 25 millions... That's the difference.
@BlackenedHalo You are joking, right? Imagine you speak Spanish, and a game you like it's NOT translated to English for any strange reason, and not an indie game, no, a game made by Square. Would you still buy it...? Square has been translating games since FFVII, back in the nineties, they can't do this now. We have to fight for out rights, dude!
@BlackenedHalo I personally have no problem, but I know A LOT of people that won't get the game for this reason. And even I refuse to pay until they treat us better. It's terrible we're still like this in 2026...
The top 28 are basically must play lol. Crazy series, the best by far!
On the Switchs we've got a lot of great stuff already, BotW/TotK, LA/EoW, the HW spin offs... Fantastic games all of them. Now on Switch 2 we just need: remakes of OoT and ALttP, a new 2D Zelda and a new 3D Zelda (with a different setting).
That would be everything to make me more than happy haha.
I knew this already from the day this version was announced, but anyway, it's always good to remind us to buy the game as soon as it's on sale during the Black Friday lol.
And I certainly hope we get RDR 2 by Spring next year!
Awesome, we won't have to wait long for the sequel!
Next year will be great for Falcom games, although to make it perfect, they could release a Switch 2 upgrade for Ys VIII and IX. They don't look and run great on the Switch, honestly...
It would be nice to have a Switch 2 edition of this one, but they'd better release it along with the sequel!
EDIT: Oh well, I forgot to mention: "unless the upgrade is free", which is the case LOL. Nicely done, Rockstar!
Talking about all this, there are some games I'm pretty sure they'll come to Switch 2 at some point:
-RDR2 (now more than ever)
-Metaphor ReFantazio
-Silent Hill 2 remake
-Baldur's Gate 3
-Expedition 33
I would actually get all of them, sooner or later!

Re: Mini Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch 1) - An Impressive Version If You've Yet To Upgrade

Therefore, you were wrong.
Re: Mini Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch 1) - An Impressive Version If You've Yet To Upgrade
@Denoloco Wrong, the Switch 2 screen supports HDR as well.
Re: Mini Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch 1) - An Impressive Version If You've Yet To Upgrade
I'm really glad they released it on the OG Switch as well, but honestly, this is a game to fully enjoy on the new hardware.
Thanks for the review, though.
Re: Surprise! Another Square Enix Switch Game Is Now Compatible On Switch 2
@Sindayl Well, next year we'll get The Adventures of Elliot. Isn't that enough for you?
Re: Surprise! Another Square Enix Switch Game Is Now Compatible On Switch 2
Nice Nier and this were the last ones I was waiting to get patched! I'm glad all the games are now supported.
Now please, release more Switch 2 editions, even if we have to pay a bit for them. RDR looks amazing in the console.
Re: Poll: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Out On Switch 2 And Switch This Week, Will You Be Getting It?

Re: Mini Review: Red Dead Redemption: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Update That This Epic Deserved
Alright, time to finally buy the game and play it for the first time!
...After Metroid.
Re: Video: Check Out Red Dead Redemption's Switch 2 Improvements In This Side-By-Side Comparison
Metroid Prime 4, Assassins Creed Shadows, Red Dead Redemption (Switch 2 edition), Octopath Traveler 0, Sonic Racing Crossworlds (Switch 2 edition), Marvel Cosmic Invasion...
What a week for Switch 2 owners! I'm interested in literally all of them...
Re: Here's Another Look At Elden Ring Running On Switch 2
I'm so glad they delayed it, it's looking really good.
Elden Ring is such an amazing game, although I've never played the DLC. I'm definitely getting the Switch 2 version if it's good enough, and playing the whole game again plus the DLC.
Re: This PlayStation Platforming Sequel Makes The Jump To Switch Very Soon
@Jhena They're still very unique games. There's nothing like Tomba out there, not even among indies... I still don't understand why.
Re: This PlayStation Platforming Sequel Makes The Jump To Switch Very Soon
Fantastic game back in the day! I liked it even more than the first one.

Re: More Switch Games Receive Compatibility Updates For Switch 2
I can't check it atm. Can anyone confirm if Chrono Cross is fixed?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (29th November)

Just a few days, guys!
Re: Review: Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Packed To The Rafters, Level-5's Football RPG Returns
I'm glad the game turned out well, same as Fantasy Life i. Now I'm more confident Professor Layton and Decapolice will also be great games, which is good, very good.
Level 5 is definitely back!
Re: "A Very Polished Experience" - Digital Foundry Checks Out Kirby Air Riders

Re: Co-Op Horror 'Reanimal' Launches February 2026, Demo Coming Soon
Another one for February...?? Come on, give us a break! Hahaha.
Dragon Quest VII, Yakuza 3, Ys X, Mario Tennis, Tales of Berseria, Reanimal, Resident Evil VII, VIII and IX... What else do they want to release?
Anyway, Reanimal looks GREAT. So it might even come home day one...
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat
@Ampelmann Actually, I believe Rebirth was split into two discs on PS5. I guess they could do the same here.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat
It's A LOT. Between this and Assassins Creed Shadows (62,8 GB), they'll eat up over 150gb... Insane.
I don't want to know how big REquiem will be...
Re: Shuten Order - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Announced, Upgrade For Switch Owners Confirmed
It's nice and all, but it's definitely not the game I was expecting to get a Switch 2 upgrade lol.
Didn't even know the game myself.
Re: Reminder: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds SpongeBob SquarePants DLC Now Available

Still shocks me that the game is not translated to Spanish... Unbelievable.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Kirby Air Riders?
What about asking this after the reviews? Lol.
Re: Official Zelda Movie Photos Give Us Our Best Look Yet At Link And Zelda
Green tunic but no hood... Strange haha.
But more strange will be to see him talking!
Like Mario, you know...
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Almost Had Mouse Controls, But It "Confused" The Gameplay
No need, gyro is good enough.
Actually, I hope 7 and 8 will also have gyro aiming, as that's a great feature, and they would benefit a lot from it.
Can't wait to get all three. And hopefully the remakes as well, later on. I want them all!

Yakuza week! Also some Hyrule Warriors still.
And next week, Kirby!
Re: Trails In The Sky 2nd Chapter Scheduled For 2026 Release
Awesome, we won't have to wait long for the sequel!
Next year will be great for Falcom games, although to make it perfect, they could release a Switch 2 upgrade for Ys VIII and IX. They don't look and run great on the Switch, honestly...
Re: It's Official, Red Dead Redemption Is Coming To Switch 2 This December
Wow, a free update, niiiice! I think it's now the perfect time to get into this game, finally.
I hope now the sequel will not take long to follow up!
