Well it's been a few months, what's the verdict?
switch (2 games)
>>724191809The verdict is the only reason to get a switch 2 is to play is to play switch 1 games at an acceptable framerates. If your switch catalog is big enough that might sounds enticing get one. If wanted to a switch 2 for new games I would wait. Mario Kart is half baked, Donkey is looks fun. Is it enough to pull the trigger on console probably not. Metriod Prime 4. is going to be Metroid Prime again, what did you expect it to be.
>>724191903I still don't like the redesign.
>>724191809Haven’t played it since July
>>724191809No OLED, bigger screen stretches games without upgrade patches and makes them look (even more) blurry, worse battery, paywalled joycon button, still no Big Maring... It's a disaster.
I play mine daily since I ignored the switch 1 since every game was like 240p 30 fps and I work remotely as a software developer so I don't want to be at my PC all the time anymoreIt's fun
>>72419190322*
>>724191809No games
>>724193779>games not released yet>shovelware>remakesyikes
>>724191809Fomo slop
How does it actually play switch games? I know it's not natively so is it just through emulation basically?
>>724191809/vr/ called it super switch
>>724193945>>724193832>>724193779None of you play game?
>>724194335esl
Playing KOTOR 2 on it nowIts pretty comfyJust being able to take it around my house, on my patio, is great.
>>724191809Worst console ever. Nintendo will go bankrupt by 2028
>>724194335Saar
More games than the ps5
>>724194609this console generation fucking sucks
>>724194701why are you surprised? so did the last one. consoles are dead.
>>724191809Pretty ok so far, but it's not even been half a year.
>>724194351>>724194532>poo hand
Switch 2 is literally just an upgraded Switch. Sure you can use mouse controls but not a lot of games take advantage of that. If you were hoping for a new system with a surprise gimmick then the Switch 2 is not it.Sucks that most of the library is re-releases of Switch 1 games but with better performance.
I want more updates. The games run better on the xbox ally x. They are gimping the games on purpose and it is pissing me off.
>>724195131>>724194701How did both console sold beyond one million?
>>724195303>no u!you lost
>>724191809god tier platform, desu. reminded me why i liked the switch so much in the first place. the biggest downside is the screen not being oled.
>>724194195I guess? I know it loads them faster at least
>>724191809I really like it. I hope Metroid Prime 4 is good. Not that interested in Kirby Air Riders.
4 months later and only 1 (one) extra S2 upgrade since the launch upgrades, it's so over xenobros
>>724191809Boring system for serfs.
>>724194195not entirely. somewhere inbetween because they have the same type of ARM architecture. somehow its like processing natively and running the rest of the game through a compatibility layer. idk im not a nerd lol
>>724195768Don't get your hopes up. None of the original Prime devs are still at Retro
>>724195786>it's so over xenobrosthis is my biggest complaint so farwhere the FUCK are my xenoblade upgrades?
>>724193779Should have shorted Nintendo stocks back in the summer, but didn't have anything set up.Nintendo had all the time in the world to make the Switch 2, and they come out with mediocre titles. The last good Nintendo game they made was Smash Ultimate, and even that is obsolete when a 20+ year old game has better mechanics and better internet (by mere Melee enthusiasts).Even if I could pirate Swtich 2 games, I still wouldn't do it. They all look like trash.
>>724191809The one thing that really pisses me off is how bad the connection seems to be for online GBA games. Also apparently the ethernet port on the Switch 2 is prone to just being shit out of the box and my friend can't get his to work, which is pretty annoying.
>>724195980companies change, anon. seniority mentor the newer hires. there is more than one person who can make a good video game. platinum games shifted a lot of talent out but still did a good job on Ninja Gaiden 4.
>what's the verdict?Like every new console release these days, it's boring and unexciting. People who say its good were gonna buy it no matter what just to upgrade. No different to a PS5 or Xbox, Nintendo lost their soul.
>>724195512-to Nintendochads
>>724191809It's great but it needs more games
>>724191809Unhackable/10
>>724195980My hopes are pretty low. Gonna wait for reviews. If it ends up being bad the switch 2 is going to end the year pretty poorly. At least first party wise
>>724196164you're saying a bunch of nothing. people were going to buy it to upgrade? well ill be, what a fucking concept. im glad nintendo made a normal upgrade instead of doing pants on the head retarded shit like the Wii > Wii U upgrade
>>724191809not buying one unless it gets cracked
>>724196426Now, post what games you play along with your own gameplay.
>>724191809I regret buying. Not sure why I did. I think I was really just bored and hunting one down was kinda fun. I only have these two games: >>724191903
>>724191903how come dunkey kong doesnt have his bananza blast detail in mkw?
>>724191809rubbish
>>724195510good morning sir
>>724191809I thought it looked really cool at launch, and I was excited to get one. Then Nintendo shat the bed and it killed my interest in the console. It still looks cool, but I can't justify paying that much for one between their recent business practices and the current library.And it STILL won't get a Wind Waker HD or Deus Ex: Human Revolution port like the WiiU. >>724193779>Chillin' by the FireI know Directs are usually nothingburgers, but I never thought I'd see voice chat: campfire edition featured in one, especially for the Switch 2.
>>724196119I don't disagree with your point on companies but NG4 was co-developed by Platinum and Team Ninja. Current Retro is far removed the original Metroid Prime which Retro was already bleeding talent back then. Metroid Prime Remastered exists to give the MP4 team experience on a Metroid Prime title. MP4 is the first Prine title of their own they've built from scratch.
>>724197374for what its worth, Tanabe is still producing the game. nintendo throws so much of Retro's shit into the toiler i feel like they wouldnt let them release a game if it wasnt good
>>724197820Kinda wish the Harmony project didn't suck. That looked interesting for what it was.
It's never worth buying a console at launch
>>724191809Love it in every way. I can't wait for the OLED to arrive though, that's the final piece to perfect it
>>724191809Not buying one until Xenoblade 4
>>724200193Please die
>>724200193I don't think there will be a Xenoblade 4. Let alone a new Xenoblade title.
>>724191809We are still boycotting. We do NOT support Nintendo. Game key cards, $100 games, Palworld, etc. Switch 2 numbers are looking very grim right now, so good work everyone. Just a little bit more and soon all Nintendo games will be put on Steam. Based!
>>724203613Are you a Nintendeen cultist?
I like Bayo 2&3
>>724191809It seems great, but I'm waiting for a revision to get one
>>724203798Nintendeen wants the Switch 2 to have a forced price discount. Furukawa being fired is optional.
>>724205195One of his fans compared him to Jesus lol
>>724191809it's ok, bananza was fun. more updates would be nice but i think most devs are just gonna settle with the bc instead of optimizing stuff if possible. im patiently waiting for the actual kino to come out (air riders, mp4, and rhythm heaven)
>>724191809Still not worth it. And I say this as a consoomer with some 300+ Switch games>overpriced everything>no fucking games besides Dong Banana and MKW>screen isn't OLED
>>724193945>umm if you dont count 20 of the games the switch 2 has then the switch 2 only has 2 gamescope snoy
>>724209482>Still not worth it. And I say this as a consoomer with some 300+ Switch gamesIt absolutely is worth it just to play your older games with better hardware
>>724210789Not all Switch games are playable on Switch 2. I still get freezes from Dragon Quest Builders 1.
>>724210874>stillI bet it's been fixed, I couldn't start crypt of the necrodancer but now it works great
>>724191809I like it.
>>724191809Has it really been that long?Anyway, I think Nintendo will likely start losing more and more of it's market share to PC handhelds w/ steamOS and cell phone games. The next system needs to be much more powerful or a much more creative toy. even their game licenses are losing a lot of steam. Nobody would care about most Nintendo games going tl3rd party except for Mario kart, smash, Zelda and pokemon.
>>724191809It's nice but doesn't have a developed enough library to be more than a Super Switch just yet. Much in the same way that PS Vitas were basically Super PSPs for much of their lifespan. If your existing Switch 1 is crapping out and you have a decent backlog, it's a no-brainer for an upgrade since a number of Switch 1 games have patches that make them run noticeably better.I like mine on balance, but wish they had more colorful Joy-Cons. Also, the screen's material is pathetically prone to scratching. Either get a screen protector or a dock sock if you buy one.
>>724191809dont have onewaiting for prime 4but honestly the majority of the "physical" games being fake physical media pisses me off this whole era has been so ass on the console side i became pretty much PC only outta spite desu
>>724191809>verdictIt's a great console, I'm having so much fun with it and I can tell it's going to get more third party support than ever. It's too bad it's kinda impossible to have a normal discussion about it without some brokie sperging out about "NINTENDO IS EVIL!" and "EVERYONE IS A CULTIST!"
Mario Kart World's open world is criminally fucked up by Nintendo not actually rewarding players for exploring.I went full autism and 100%'d the game recently, all stickers.I actually enjoyed hunting out the Switches, panels as well as the missions. The problem is your average player has no need to. No one cares about some shitty little sticker.
>People bought Switch2 to upgradeWAS it an upgrade? Glad I waited long enough to realize this console wasn't going anywhere.
>>724191809As someone who fell out of gaming during college and hadn't really gotten back into it since, the Switch 2 has been nice. I actually feel like picking up and playing the thing, and I'm slowly getting past whatever mental block was stopping me from enjoying gaming for so long. Gradually nabbing various games I've had my eyes on for a long time and getting them when they're on sale, which is surprisingly frequently for everything that's not first party. Aside from Mario Kart, which I've put about 80~ hours into, I've been playing Phoenix Wright for the first time, just started Celeste, and grabbed Spiritfarer a couple days ago.
>>724213992>the majority of the "physical" gamesIt's not the majority
>>724216646>WAS it an upgrade?yes
Games I'm buying on Switch 2 later this year:>hyrule warriors age of imprisonment>kirby air riders>metroid prime 4Games I'm buying on any other platform later this year:>404 not found
the funny thing is all e bootlickers acting like the system is 5 years old, and not 5 months.
maybe cool if ur exclusively a tendie but as someone who was choosing either a steam deck oled or this, im feeling pretty dissatisfied, especially since none of the switch 1 games are getting FPS boosts and thats annoying. kirby air riders looks cool though
>>724191809Glorified Pro Switch model with all the new console bullshit with a bunch of Nintendo Jewry bullshit chucked in. Maybe by the time they bother to make these with an OLED the library won't be so abysmal and I'll think about picking one up.
>>724205565It was probably a kid. A religious kid at that, but if not that sounds fucking hilarious and makes me want to go around comparing random youtubers to Jesus in general.
>>724213992I have one already and Prime 4 is the only game I'm waiting for now.I love game key cards, they are a good litmus test that tells you whether a publisher is worth buying from or not.>>724217591>glorified pro modelYou people are fucking retarded, true proof of damned if you do damned if you don't, it has backwards compat so people complain that it's a pro model, if it didn't you 'd be complaining that it didn't. Never a consistent moment.
>>724191809I might buy one around Black Friday.No real hype for it, more just something to use my credit card for since I haven't used my credit card for a solid 6 months since paying it off, and to stay a little ahead.If/when they release a """good""" game for it I don't want it to be out of stock with everyone else buying to play whatever """good""" game comes out.I'm getting Wii U deja vu though.Nothing seems that better, the games carry over. I haven't touch my switch in a while, and when I do it's usually just for smash.I'm done buying GayStation. PS4 is the last console I'm buying from them. Its just gonna be Nintendo and PC from now on, and thats really all you need. Nintendo games will only be on Nintendo games, and any game worth a shit will be available on PC or exclusively on PC.Never bought an Xbox, never wanted to, and Xbox is officially dead, dead, DEAD. Since 2012 Xbox has never had an advantage over their competitors (they never did). Halo was over, and thats and Stubbs the Zombie was the only game worth buying an Xbox for. Now Halo is coming to GayStation, so its over, over OVER.Astrobots is the only thing PS5 exclusive people even remotely like. PS6 might come out, and its going to bomb like the Dreamcast and Wii U. It will have NOTHING. FF7 Remake 2-3 will eventually come to PC, hell it'll be funny when FF Remake 2 comes to Switch 2. God of War isn't cool anymore, and if they continue it, it'll be elderly Kratos in Egypt, or playing as the unlikable Atreus. And even then, that'll get ported to PC as well. GTA 6 is gonna be gay, figuratively and probably literally, and will get ported to PC as well. The next Rockstar games will too.Keep buying Nintentdo because you have no choice, and save up for a Gayming PC for everything else.When I move I'm gonna buy a Gayming PC, a basic bitch pre-build. I just don't have time for Gaems except for weekends anymore, so I don't need a le epic gayming PC made with my own hands.
>>724194701Consoles haven't been good since 2002.
>>724191809Part of me wants to buy one, but I really don't think it'd be wise to drop $500 right now, at least for me personally. I can just throw it on the credit card, but don't want it on my conscience there really isn't anything I just HAVE to play on it. I don't really give a shit about Pokemon, Donkey Kong, or Mario Kart. I'd like to play more JRPG's on it. We're not getting the new Fire Emblem till like February 2026, and then Metroid is in December. If I was to buy it now, then I feel like I wouldn't play it very much, so it is kind of a waste to get one. The other thing I'm upset about is a lot of games haven't gotten Switch 2 "upgrades" but I do know some games run better on a Switch 2, even if the developers didn't directly announce an upgrade for it. Digital Foundry showcased that, like I know Ni No Kuni 2 ran at 30 FPS on Switch 1, and now it runs at 60 FPS on Switch 2. They also showcased some other games with the same feature. It feels like a shot in the dark, like you might replay a game on Switch 2 and it'll run better. I personally would want more JRPG's to get upgrade treatments, like I don't know if any of the Xenoblade games or Fire Emblem games got performance enhancements. Engage is WAY more fun and enjoyable to play at 60 FPS, and I know because I played it at 60 FPS on Yuzu and same thing for XBC3. I do know those games were locked to 30 FPS on Switch 1, which was absolutely retarded for games with so many attack animations and movement. A lot of games on Switch are also on console, except first party titles desu>>724200047It took 4 1/2 years for the OLED model to release, so you'll be waiting at least until 2029 most likely before it launches. Nintendo just let the Switch 1 LCD run for over four years, and from what I remember, not a lot of people even bought or cared about the OLED model, probably because they already had a Switch 1 and didn't want to rebuy it for a better screen.
>>724219903>Black FridayI find it hard to believe that Nintendo will run a sale on the Switch 2 for Black Friday considering it would have only been out for four months. It's too early to run a sale on it, even if it does get a sale, it probably won't be a huge one, possibly $50 off. You're not going to get one for like $100 off or some shit.
slow start but it picked up for the first 6 months. imo it's still missing a killer app to sell consoles. evergreens are games you pick alongside one big game you want. DK or MK aren't system sellers imo but they will sell forever. Mario and Splatoon are gonna be the real deal
>>724219903>I just don't have time for Gaems except for weekends anymorenormalfag why are you here?leaveleaveleaveyou people dont belong here, go back to your normalfag wagecuckery obligationsleaveleaveleave
>>724191809Its two games are greatHardware is excellentBut its weaker than Switch 1 when it comes to exclusives. The Switch 1 lineup from Z-A to Rhythm Heaven is more exciting than Switch 2 Mario Kart to Yoshi. I think it will start ramping up by the later half of next year with Splatoon and Fire Emblem.
>>724196658Post proof you own one frognigger.
>>724212327>Anyway, I think Nintendo will likely start losing more and more of it's market share to PC handhelds w/ steamOS and cell phone games.
Hardware wise it is 100% just a better Switch, there's nothing "new" with it, but also that's all it really needed to be. Switch 1 was pretty feature complete and didn't need expanding on.So far I've bought>Mario Kart World (pretty good, generally good tracks and has what you want out of a Mario Kart + a neat open world that is fun to fuck around in, I think it would really have benefited from some sort of post-launch support, not even track DLC or anything, just something like themed events would be nice).>Bravely Default (other JRPGs took my focus, but I've enjoyed it so far, it feels like a pretty 1:1 port from what I remember of the original, no complaints)>Pokemon Legends Z-A (if you can get over the flat looking city, the gameplay changes are a really fun experiment for the series, it feels very different and actually exploring the city is cool as its designed very densely, Switch 2 version is nice as it runs at a clean 60fps and at 4k when docked)>also been playing some of my Switch backlog (Tsukihime Remake, World of Horror, Taiko Rhythm Adventure, Metroid Prime Remastered) on it and had fun with thoseThe GameCube collection has been huge for me as well. I've done a full playthrough of Wind Waker (just under 40 hours) and unlocked the AX tracks in F-Zero GX (also got about 40 hours in that). Excited for Luigi's Mansion next weekWill be buying Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4 and Fire Emblem as well
>>724221334>hes renting to emulate in 2025tendies are whipped
>>724221737bruhdder, the prime excuse for piracy was always "they aren't producing this anymore and i don't want my money to go to scalpers, so it's morally correct to pirate"what is your excuse now?
>>724221737I like playing them portable and on one system>you can do that on a steam deckI don't own a Steam Deck. Considered it a couple times but not super interested.
Not buying one until they bring back virtual console/ ease up on nso over dependency
>>724193779The fuck is splatoon drivers
It's a nice upgrade, but it needs varied software desperately
>>724212327ZA sold bazillions. Keep coping more gachafag/steamie.
>>724222407Anon, that's what he said, the main franchises are carrying the console
>>724222351I'll be honest, I wouldn't say desperately. What it has is fine for three months after launch?
>>724212327>Has it really been that long?5 months is long?
>>724223720Is it 5?I thought it was only 4
>>7241918090/10 locked down piece of shit, avoid like alienware
>>724191809Best console ever made.
>Nintendo exclusives>better performance than $1000 equivalentsNo wonder it's breaking sales records.
>>724191809It's great. A straight upgrade to Switch in every aspect.There's too many games to play
>>724193005ESL
>>724193005When the year is over, Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4 will be considered amongst the best games of the year. Pull your head out of your ass.
>>724193005Not even that. Switch 2 doesn't run Switch 1 games natively, it's got a shoddy emulator that literally breaks some games. Splatoon 3 had to have multiple patches to stamp out broken movement techs and netcode anomalies like "your rank does not increase if you have Switch 1 peasants in your lobby", and they even had to patch Splatoon 2 once to remove a Switch 2-exclusive bug. And that's a game fortunate enough to be eligible for patches like that. Your Xenoblade 2 will just break. You might as well emulate on PC at this point.
>>724224215Remember all the screeching about Switch 2 being too expensive?
>>724224732>Not even that. Switch 2 doesn't run Switch 1 games natively, it's got a shoddy emulator that literally breaks some gamesComplete disingenuous bullshit. Some Switch titles simply require optimisation to run better on Switch. Those have been identified fairly quickly. And the games which have updates (most of them free) is a night and day experience on Switch 2.

>>724223612It has no strong launch lineup, surprised it sold that much with MK and DK as spearheads, they haven't even released any of the big ones or a breakthrough game, this is an omen.
>>724225162>It has no strong launch lineupNeither did the PS2, and look how great that turned outWhat does that matter anyway, it's only been out a few monthsIt just sounds like you're coping and seething

>>724225767I don't get it man. How do you regret a purchase like this in this day and ageYou have internet. You have google. You have literally every possible bit of information you could possibly have on what this thing does, what games are on it or will be on it in the immediate future. You then bought it specifically for a game to perform better and for a game you don't actually know exists yet (a Xenoblade port/patch). And within months you're already saying you regret. Are you stupid? Am -I- stupid for not understanding here? How are you surprised by this situation? What is there to regret that you couldn't possibly have known five or so months ago?

>>724226428I mean I get that, but I thought that was typically smaller purchases. I don't get how someone can buy a game console at full price irrationally. Unless they're rich and is therefore a "smaller purchase", which the anon did state, but then that just raises the question of what is there to regret in the first place? Just wait for it to have stuff you want on it, nothing lost.>>724226575Engage in the discussion, faggot.
