Mostly Kirby and the new Katamari. Bandai-Namco's been catering to me persoly this year.
I have Metroid on order at my local library though, will probably get it over Christmas and play it as quick as possible With all voices and subtitles turned off

I wish more Switch 2 games were dated. Just having Mario Tennis and that Pokemon life sim is brutal.

Oh nooo I can't play aaa slop on an expensive pc and play l4d2 mods with Peter Griffin

>>728725597
I picked up both Air Riders and Prime 4. I've been getting annoyed by how hard Metroid is, should I just switch to Kirby for now? I heard it was casual.

I wish I could have got it for that price >>728722226

>>728726859

The controls are simple, but the game is not casual.
Play through Road Trip twice to get the true ending and learn the basics before touching online or you'll get giga rekt.

That's Game Freak. Nintendo has nothing to do with their quality control.
It's like confusing Naughty Dog for Sony, just because Crash Bandicoot was on PS1.

>>728727319
Yeah don't bother with that game, wait for the next mainline game. It's supposed to finally be something substantial to be on par with the likes of Breath of the Wild. In the mean time, I got Lets Go Pikachu and it's really neat, an actual competent reimagining of the first game in the franchise. It's co-op.

No chance, after the last few games Game Freak aren't getting any more of my money.
SV were truly horseshit. I liked Arceus, despite its flaws, but this new one looks terribad.

>>728726595
>he doesn't think there will be a Nintendo Direct early next year

>>728727803
I’m actually replaying Arceus.
The switch 2 lineup is so shit I found myself wishing for a $10 performance patch for the game and other switch 1 titles lmao

>>728727803
I only played Arceus and Snap.
No desire for any of the others, least of all Z-A.

I disliked Arceus but enjoyed SV and ZA. Arceus was such ass that it’s the only Pokemon game I haven’t beaten.

>>728727767
The water gimmick.
but seriously, you can go to the final boss at the start, you can tackle the game in any order, you can go anywhere, gliding, boating, that sort of open world freedom stuff.

>>728727952
>Snap
Isn't it disappointing? It's almost good.

>>728728086
I don't recall seeing Snap on the shelf. Half a dozen Lets Go Pikachu copies though, so that must be pretty ever green.

ZA easily has the best gameplay out of any Pokemon game. The action combat is perfect, the catching mechanics are amazing, it just feels great to play.

>>728728204
I have no idea what you are talking about.

>>728728245
What other games do you think feel "perfect" to play?

>>728728086
The only thing wrong with Snap is the lack of mid-level evolutions like the N64 game.
The free update levels are exceptional too.

>>728728335
Uhh, maybe KH2.

>>728728391
And the stupid gimmick mechanics...
And the needless character dialogue...
And the cutscenes...
And the boss levels are dull...
There's a lot of issues with the game. But the simple fact of the matter is its not as fun as the original, for these reasons.

Just finished MP4B, was playing Air Riders with my friend's kid and asked me if I had already gotten the true ending, told him I hadn't, got burnt out after finishinf the game on super hard but he doesn't believe me and nowhere in the game says I did, no milestone, nothing, now he's bullying me about it.

>>728733652
You didn't notice how much damage enemies do?

>>728733796
Ah yeah, even at full tanks they can get you to low life quickly but I mean it's not that bad, Samus has two dodging methods which is side stepping and morph ball, also the missiles and elemental weapons do tons of damage so it balances out.

>>728725597
I just got mine. Playing Super Mario Wonder and Pokemon.

Is the Nintendo PSN supposed to have some discounts for "Nintendo" games this Christmas? Really want to get the two Fire Emblem games.

>>728733432
If you care for gyro there's a setting under camera in options to turn it on. The lock-on is shit when it comes to targeting specific points quickly. I just use gyro without lock-on half the time.

Based

What kind of game is Animal Crossing?
I just pretty much got all big first party titles other than AC and Smash.
Not interested in smash.
Think the Isabelle is cute.

Do you guys prefer to get digital or physical?
I'm mostly buying physical, but the 256gb memory card I got is OK for a large collection, right?

Also, due to my Boomer neck, I usually play in bed in handheld mode. It's not worse for the battery, right?

>>728735348
>Do you guys prefer to get digital or physical?
Full digital. I only bother with cartridges for renting or as gifts for others, as there are no advantages for me otherwise.
I'd say the 256GB microSD express card (in addition to the internal 256GB on Switch 2) is good enough if you're starting up, but also to avoid choice paralysis by having too many games installed in case you're that kind of person too.

>>728735695
>but also to avoid choice paralysis by having too many games installed in case you're that kind of person too.
Lol, I got about 10 games and I'm having this problem. Mostly physical.
My memory card has tons of space.

In my defense, this is my first nintendo system since the first Gameboy and I'm mostly a Sony guy (have the PS5 too, but got the Switch 2 for the first party games)

>>728735348
50/50, depends on the availability and price, when the Switch had just came out delivery took about a week so I just got them digital, I ran out of storage fast, delivery got better and now it takes a day or two and for some reason physical went for lower so I've been getting those.

>>728736016
If you're only going for first-party titles (and maybe the occasional indies), I'd dare to say you won't even need a microSD since Nintendo games are hardly heavy in size digitally (so far it's the latest Zelda musou title with its 43GB then MP4 for ~28GB, while the other titles don't go above 15~20GB).

>>728735348
Call me autistic but there's something about the games on the shelf, or even about the cartridges lined up in a case that digital can never replicate. I always go for physical when given the option.
I also don't like managing digital storage so I try not to have more than two or three games digitally in a console.

>>728736368
Did you get more than one memory card? Is it possible to do it like in the PSP and have multiple ones with different games?

>>728736424
Planning mostly on going for Nintendo exclusives.
That said, I was surprised that third parties are not more expensive on the Switch than on the Playstation.

>>728736692
I only have a 256GB one for the Switch, haven't gotten one for the 2

>>728736692
>That said, I was surprised that third parties are not more expensive on the Switch than on the Playstation.
Anyone who pretends multiplats or ports are more expensive on Nintendo than on Playstation or Steam are nothing more than liars. Recent Switch ports only take longer to get the same price discount as elsewhere but that's it.
Like I've just purchased Blacksad Under the Skin on sale for 2€ in the european Eshop (I've read the game is either is a hit-or-miss but at this price it's fine, and it seems the Switch 2 fixes the performance/visual issues)

Katamari
Fortnite (grinding Victory Wings with my kids)

What do people want the next smash game to be like anyways? I can't see sakurai and team making a completely new smash game that can surpass ultimate

I mostly want changes in gameplay for Smash.

>>728727073
this is low quality platinum slop and it's by far the worst ninja gaiden game btw.
indie & classic console games are a better reason to have a PC than this garbage.

>>728726595
Big game is Duskbloods, but that's what's been announced, half of Nintendo's yearly lineup is announced that same year.

>>728746571

Daemon Machina Titanic and Metal Gear Solid 3.
>Looking forward to anything?
Resident Evil Geneology, Mina the Hollower, Hollow Knight Switch 2 edition, and tales of Besaria. I'm probably going to get burnt on both Mario Tennis and Pokepedia but my best friend is getting it and I'll be damned if I leave them hanging out to dry.

>Any games you hoping Santa to bring you?
Don't really have anything in particular I want to buy, it will mostly depend on how the winter discounts are. Though Mario Wonder and Kirby and The Forgotten Lands do interest me a lot.

Metroid Prime4 will beat you ass in all the way because suit upgrades don't offer extra defense unlike usual.

Who df doesnt like mario kart. Only a vocal minority is complaining about it. Me and all my buddies think its the best in the series. Best gameplay, best physics, best music, best production value, best handling, etc. Does it have issues sure, hopefully nintendo keeps updating it.

I love Air Riders. I was kinda regretting my purchase and sunk-costs as I didn’t like Mario Kart World and Bananza was alright, but Kirby Air Riders? It’s a good game. I love it, I love playing with /v/ and I played City Trial so much that I got rainbow rank.

>>728754695
I agree with that take, It feels like there's just this cavalcade of people who are just mad at Nintendo trying to take it down a notch for being on Switch 2. I liked it as much as MK8, I'm looking forwards to Karts, Kharacters and Kourses.

>>728754695
different anon. You're right, but I want more. The game would be perfect if there were boss fights akin to MKDS, but in the open world. That would've been so cash. Maybe the DLC

>>728754872
A Diddy Kong Racing style single player would be great but the game is already great on it's own merits.

>You're right, but I want more. The game would be perfect if there were boss fights akin to MKDS, but in the open world

I agree I also want more. The world is actually beautifully designed. Just that its lacking in content. Also the online is terrible. Air riders has tons of unlocks, ranks etc to keep you invested. Kart has fuck all and its sucks cause the game is awesome.

>>728754667
If you say so, anon. I'm not going to consume the thread arguing the point.

SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, awesome, I don't ask for gifts, no
Even if I wanted one, I'd feel so bad being gifted a Switch 2 or anything for it because it's all insanely expensive. I can't ever justify paying collector's item prices for games that will massively depreciate in secondhand value a year from now and have no legacy. The most I've ever paid for a game was 86 dollars for Symphony of the Night, and I'd have to be on crack to drop more than that on fucking Mario Kart

MHS2 is very soulful. The story is simple, but it has its charm and the gameplay is fun. I was thinking about getting the first Stories, only to remember I already have it on my modded 2DS. The added voice lines are nice. MHS3 is my most anticipated game for next year.

Been playing Switch more since I learned my library gets new releases in quickly. It makes the Switch 2 more compelling for me.

>>728758119
It's originally on switch and no region locked on switch, so it's possible we can get more active player in switch. Also in past thread MHRise digital sale on PS5 is increased and surpassed MHWild few months after MHWild released.

>>728761434
Possibly, but extremely unlikely. Steam just has way more active users in general. If what you want is an active playerbase and longevity, Steam is by far the safer bet here. If only Nintendo showed their numbers.

>>728727709
>It's supposed to finally be something substantial to be on par with the likes of Breath of the Wild
On a budget of 30 fucking million and with game freak's lack of talent? Good luck with that.

>>728761086
Aww that's so cool

>>728761086
I always hear this from people and it makes me with my wasn't too shitty for that but since my brother just got the system and having a shared physical library is a core part of each generation I guess it's close enough

>>728762928
>wish*
Forgot I had this tab up and I'm drowsy as fuck excuse me

>>728762928
I also appreciate a physical collection but I did love the Blockbuster generation and this is like a modern (free) version.

I'll still probably buy the ones I know I'll return to or enjoy too much.

>>728763156
Yeah no I miss that so if mine did this I would get a card in a heartbeat. I go my local one every 2 weeks to work on projects in a quieter environment anyway so it would be like those old times.
Kirby though I knew I would be playing a lot so I just got it digitally. Brother will probably buy Bananza down the line and that's how I'll get to play it lol.

on red dead redemption, if I use the cartridge, does the switch 2 upgrade install as an update or does it install the whole game digitally?

>>728765189
This and another Tomodachi Life happening is so shocking to me.

>>728765015
Like >>728765198 said, it's a small patch

>>728765189
this better be $40 or less
I love rhythm heaven but I don't see myself spending a whole $60+ on it

>>728765295
I think it's unlikely to be more than $50 at the max. (That's what the last Wario Ware game was priced at)
Fever and Megamix were both $30 so I doubt this will be $60.

I swear I'm not really complaining about having more things to do, but it's kinda stressful when it all comes out at once.

>>728765252
I know some people are upset nintendo hasn't announced any "heavy hitters" lately but it makes me happy seeing decade old games getting sequels like Tomodachi Life and Kirby Air Ride

Whoever at Nintendo asked Sakurai to make a sequel to Kirby fucking Air Ride is the most based person on the planet objectively.
Riders existing at all is a complete enigma and I will always be grateful for it.

How's the Pikmin 4 update? Is the game now challenging with the new higher difficult mode.

>>728765467
>maybe new event in Kirby Air Riders, though there wasn't one last week
sakurai-kun please do a 8 person top ride event please I'm begging you just 1 weekend pleeease

>Switch 1 port of Blacksad has extremely low quality on flat textures even on surfaces you're supposed to examine
>despite the game is a whopping 22GB in size
I got the game for 2€ on the Eshop and bought it out of curiosity so I can't exactly complain but wew
And It's not like the game is apparently well optimized elsewhere anyway, people were reporting bugs even on the PC version.

>finished Star-Crossed World already
pretty good

>>728765189
Soon

I'm thinking about getting Drag x Drive later.

>>728774114
I need to try the demo first

So how would you feel about a Switch 2 TV that's only the dock or a Switch 2 Lite that's handheld only?

>>728777052
>Switch 2 TV that's only the dock
Seems too complicated. The plug and play design is for the best.
>Switch 2 Lite that's handheld only
though an exception can be made. Plus, it's likely already in development.

Dispatch is coming to Switch and 2.

>>728777372
That's what I mean by dock only. You plug it into your TV, plug in power, and plug in ethernet and you're good to go. It'll come with a Pro Controller with bluetooth. It's a Switch 2 with no screen, no battery, and no joycon. Course if you want Joycon then you can buy the charging grip seperately.

How's Sonic Crossworlds Switch 2 Edition? I'd like to get the physical release when it comes out next year. I already have Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders but that's not an issue, the more fun racers the merrier.

>>728756702
No
Tendies unironically have this mi dset

>>728725597
I played my time at portia on the switch for 50 hours and gave up, moved on to sandrock on pc, it was like 4 bucks from humble bundle resellers
While the performance is much better I miss actually playing it on a portable.

>>728761551
I already said MHRise start in switch, do you think people want double dipping on Steam, you overestimate Steam active player number. Someone in old thread even mention when MHWild get maintenanced the active player still 100k because player who trying to enter the game but failed is still counted.

>>728725597
I'm at 99% item completion in Metroid Prime 4, and don't see anything left to collect in any of the zones, including the desert. I have all the mech parts and am ready to go to what I assume is the final boss fight. So is the last item completion % something you get after activating the mech or am I missing something that isn't marked by any of the survey bots?

>>728777667
Oh I see. The Switch's identity is centered around being able to switch between tv and handheld, so making it a hard console would lose the magic. The Lite is able to get away with this as it still retains the magic of playing whenever you want. As far as a true, hard console goes, Nintendo seems to see the writing on the wall and knows it's best to make something fun than powerful.

>>728778181
There are no items in the final area, only two scans. You must be missing an item icon that you're not seeing. It might be overlapping one of the elemental icon for the shrines in the desert, or it may be in an out of the way room on another area map. I suggest opening up an area map, pressing up to highlight all floors/zones at once and zooming out as far as possible to see if you spot it before starting to check individual portions. Remember that you can check the whole world map from wherever you are so you don't need to physically go to an area first.

>>728761551
You can estimate the sales by using capcom own annual report, MHRise released on Switch in March 26,2021 and Windows in January 12,2022 and in Capcom 2021 annual report they mention MHRise sold 4.8 million as of March 31, 2021. Capcom 2022 annual report mention MHRise shipped 10 million as of June 30, 2022. All sale before XboxOne/X/X, PS4/5 version is released.

>>728725597
>Whatcha playing? How is it?
Octopath Traveler 0 has been pretty good so far. It has a more regular story structure instead of 8 individual stories like the 2 other ones, and it's easily the best change they've made (although I know it's because it's a enhanced port of the gacha).
Finished Metroid Prime 4 who was really mediocre. It has some great parts in the first half, but then the game becomes extremely boring in the second half so it just ended up a 6/10 for me. Hopefully they can figure out what worked and what didn't and make a much better game for the fifth entry because it's not even like the new additions (the Federation NPCs and the desert with the bike) were bad ideas on paper, they were just terribly executed.
Otherwise, I've been replaying Resident Evil 4 since it's been fixed recently for Switch 2 and I'm still having a blast as usual. And I'm also planning on finishing the post game of Age of Imprisonement, especially since it got all its free updates that widen up the post game.
>Any games you hoping Santa to bring you? Looking forward to anything?
Nothing planned for Santa, but maybe I'll be getting FF7 Remake by trading MP4 in my local videogame shop. Other than that I'm looking forward to the new Fire Emblem and that's about it. I'm hoping that the January/February direct will be substantial (new 3D Mario and new Monolith Soft game please), otherwise the next year will be pretty calm for my wallet.

Anyone played Warrior's Abyss? How's it and how does it perform on Switch 2?

>MH stories 2 is now clean 60fps on switch 2
Why did I only know about it by randomly launching the game today???

Thinking on getting Mega Man 11. It's currently on a massive discount.
Thing is, I don't know if I should get it for the Switch or for PC. I'm leaning towards the former based on form factor alone.

>>728785338
It's fine on Switch but if you want mods then go PC.

>>728784464
There are similar cases of Switch 1 games that were never capped to 30fps in the first place so the Switch 2 can easily run them at a steady 60fps now, such as Trials of Mana, Ni no Kuni, Resident Evil 5 and 6.

>>728786008
Are there even any worthwhile mods right now? Or is it just the modding potential?

>>728778181
Check Fury Green, on the area you started there's a cracked statue leaning on a tree, it has a power bomb.

Should we expect Concerned Ape to drop a ton of download codes for Switch again here?

>>728787148
I've never heard of any MM11 modding, but with the new game coming up, maybe it can be used.

>>728789796
No. I think he'll focus on PC first and Switch 2 last.

I’ve started playing BotW again after not touching it for a few years, and I’m noticing a weird effect around link and other characters when I spin the camera around. I don’t remember this being a thing the last time I played. Anyone else experience this?

Wario world is surprisingly fun. I only found out that he had a whole ass 3D GameCube game a few years ago.
Kinda burned myself out in Xenoblade X unfortunately.
The best game out for the system atm is the waiting game.
