I'd be really surprised and shocked if it didn't run well on the Switch as this game was developed with Switch 1 machine in mind.
I'm glad that, from now on, there won't be many cross-gen games so that we can really see the full potential of the Switch 2.
Must say...so far so good Seeing this pics now confirm the leaked videos published earlier where we see ... you know who. Can't wait to see more of it!
Maybe I was playing it wrong but I bought RDR1 and found very confusing on what to do and the controls were not so great either. Got bored really quickly and didn't play it again.
@the_beaver I think Nintendo managed terribly the IP since the announcement of MP4, they had plenty of time to release the whole trilogy and nothing happened. I'm one of those players that didn't get the chance to play the trilogy when it was originally released and I see now that I will probably only be able to play the first game and the new one.
Now that we approach the release there is barely any marketing and before that everything shown seemed like an afterthought.
I'm concerned that it will not sell well enough and Nintendo will put the IP again on the forgotten land.
These games for me all look like the same. If they publish on this page a bunch of images from all the games I couldn't spot from which games they are from. To my eyes they would all be images from the same game. It's shocking that they keep pumping out the same low quality games year after year just like EA was doing with the Fifa games.
@Clammy 100%! After getting it since day one, I regret my purchase. Got it with the MK9 bundle which I played for a week to never again and been playing Cyberpunk since then. I think Nintendo missed the mark with their launch games and they certainly had plenty of time to offer some better games.
I really hope this is not Pikmin related, I mean, I know it has is audience but we had a brand new game not long ago, I'd rather have Nintendo spending their time bringing back other IPs that are forgotten.
Like the previous entries...it looks horrendous! Can't they improve the graphics just a little bit? Every entry looks like a copy and paste from the previous one.
@MrPerson0 I didn't say that people cannot re-download online purchases. I meant that if you didn't buy it when it was available and the game is removed, then, you can't get it anymore.
It's crazy that Kirby gets two directs and Metroid doesn't get anything after waiting for it so long. I still feel that a 'killer' game is still missing from this library and, my God, enough of sims games, there is one after another announced.
To be fair, it does look like more interesting than MK9. I bought the console at launch and I finished all the maps in the first week of purchase and haven't played it again since. I will wait for the reviews for Sega's and might get it if it runs well.
@MrPerson0 it's not only eShops. It's the fact that licenses can expire and games can be removed without any notice. As an example I can give you Capcom with MvC2 that was only available online and removed from one day to another due to license issues. It took many years for it to be released again and I think might not be always the case.
I'm still on the the side of the fence that says 'game key card = 2nd hand purchases only'. If they release the game in the cartridge, then, I get it day one, otherwise, just 2nd hand.
It would be amazing to have a surprise (i.e some dormant IP), imagine having a new Star Fox, Pillot Wings, Wave Race or 1080 for the upcoming winter season!
Honestly, it's been a bit disappointing.
MKW was less exciting than MK8 was for me and shortly after I finished the maps, I stopped playing it.
Luckily I've got Cyberpunk and that game saved the Switch 2 for me. I've been playing the game since the release and taking my time to do and find everything.
Haven't got any other game so far and can't see myself getting it anytime soon.
At some point I'd probably get DK but for now I'm okay.
Regarding the console itself, I feel that it was not worth to get it at the release. Would not buy one now.
I hope we'll get Metroid release date and that it will still be this year. Honestly, I haven't been much excited for the games released so far for the Switch 2. Only have MK9 because got it as a bundle and Cyberpunk 2077 which I play daily. All other games either don't interest me or I'll wait for a discount as they are key card games.
@BenAV agreed! There is such a contrast when you compare it with Arms that was also aiming to show case the console capabilities! I love Arms, it had so much character. This one, for me, has zero.
It was a very weak Direct. Perhaps the weakest I've seen from Nintendo in a while. If their intention was to entice ppl to buy more Switches, I doubt that this Direct will persuade them to do it.
@Truegamer79 started Cyberpunk for the first time a week ago and I'm enjoying it very much. There is so much content and so much to do! If you like FPS games you are gonna love it!
That's really a great start for the Switch 2 but I have an impression that on the Nintendo side of games, things are a bit obscure at the moment. I might have missed some games but I can only think of 2 from Nintendo on the horizon (DK and MP4). I wonder what they will offer on the second half of the year to keep the sales going.
It's shocking that these games look like copy and paste. There is no improvements graphically. People should stop to buy them so Game Freak would put some effort to attract players back.
It's coming home! Got the bundle plus Cyberpunk! I really hope that Nintendo will bring back some forgotten IPs. It wouldn't hurt to get a new Wave Race 😁, a 1080, a F-Zero or a Star Fox!

Shame MP2 and 3 are not available and, because of that, I will wait for a discount before getting it as I have a huge backlog.

I have such a huge backlog so this one will have to wait.
Will be a good buy on a discount 😁

Doing a lot of marketing about Metroid and yet, no sign of the MP2 and MP3.
Great job 👍

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer
I'm still not convinced that the bundle is worth it.
Also, why Nintendo doesn't update Galaxy 1 from the previous bundle for those who purchased it?

Getting it day one for sure.

Re: Mario Tennis Fever Hits Switch 2 Next February
@sixrings same feelings, also have Ace and it really felt abandoned.
Don't know if I'll get this one.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Bundle Confirmed For Switch, Launching October
Still a bit annoying that Galaxy 2 didn't come together on the previous bundle.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (16th August)
I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 since the release of the console and can't see me playing anything else any time soon.
Totally worth my money.
Re: The Next 3D Arcade Archives Release Is Available Today On Switch And Switch 2

Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out

Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist
For me it was so boring, one of worst ones I've seen.
Really, a 'game' to make fire?
Are they expecting to sell consoles with games like that?
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Partner Direct Switch 2 Game In New Infographic
It was a very weak Direct. Perhaps the weakest I've seen from Nintendo in a while.
If their intention was to entice ppl to buy more Switches, I doubt that this Direct will persuade them to do it.

and, yes, where is Wave Race!!
Re: Feature: Every Switch 2 Launch Game, Ranked

There is so much content and so much to do!
If you like FPS games you are gonna love it!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st June)
Cyberpunk 2077 for the weekend!
Never played it before and I'm loving it 😁
Re: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Kart World?
Solid 8 for me.
For sure, not yet better than MK8.
Hopefully some future updates will make it better.

Re: Publishers Are "Thanking" Nintendo For Game-Key Cards On Switch 2

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Guide: Ultimate Resource
Does anyone know how to make the Switch 1 Pro controller work wireless on Switch 2 ?
It seems to work only when wired
Re: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Footage Shows 60fps Gameplay For Switch 2
It's shocking that these games look like copy and paste.
There is no improvements graphically.
People should stop to buy them so Game Freak would put some effort to attract players back.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For June & July 2025
Switch 2 bundle for me + Cyberpunk that I never played.
Does anyone know if the OG Pro controller will work on the Switch 2?
Re: Nintendo Updates 'Switch Online' Trailer With New Switch 2 Footage
It's coming home!
Got the bundle plus Cyberpunk!
I really hope that Nintendo will bring back some forgotten IPs.
It wouldn't hurt to get a new Wave Race 😁, a 1080, a F-Zero or a Star Fox!
