Nintendomination!
bit the bullet and decided to buy a pair of these. the default joycons always sucked ass.
>Switch 2 – 247.880 (5.833.462)>PlayStation 5 – 8.673 (7.574.589)
>>739895051What the fuck is this shit?!
>>739895051Sadly I have heard that this shit had a lot of problems with updates, I hope that they fix it in the future

>>739895051looks like shithow's the gyro and rumble on them
I'm going to try to finish DK Bananza. I remember it took me a while to finish Mario Odyssey as well.
I am playing everybody's golf hot shots. It is cute and fun.
>>739896719gyro is acceptable. vibration is absolute dogshit though.
>>739897332Lgood HD rumble is like having a third sense on top of video and audio
>>739897157I say this as Dragon Quest VII Reimagined S2 version is on sale for 25% off
800 dollar paper weight
>>739898085but enough about the PS5
>>739898225They're both the worst consoles ever released post 80s crashWii U had MH4 ps3 had demons souls these piles of crap have literally nothing
Does the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 and/or Pro 3 support Gyro on the Switch 2? It only specifies Switch on their website, not Switch 2.Gonna pick up Smash, SF6, and some other fightan games and would rather not incur drift on my joycons or pro controller. The gyro would be nice for Splat and other games though.Also, playing a new island on New Horizons. This multicrafting and crafting from your house storage shit they finally added (should have been in to begin with) completely changes this fucking game. Holy shit it's way better.
>>739898315one exclusive per month is great actually, sorry that you can't see that.
>>739898315MH3U you mean (and Tri with backwards compatibility)
>>739894360if it has the 'cons i lift them by that or i slide my fingers into her dirty little grooves and lift her up
I don't love my Switch 2, but I will admit that whilst having to care for a friend's needy senior dog, it's quite nice to have it to play Tears of the Kingdom in 60 fps on. Also the Classic library is quite neat.
>>739894230Just started TTYD in boost mode and kinda disappointed it is only 900p but better than nothing I guess. Nintendo needs to get off their lazy nip asses and drop patches for all first party switch 1 games. If they don't I'm afraid someone might burn down their headquarters.
I'm ready to expand dong next week. It's been too fucking long since I've played DK64.
What recent and upcoming visual novels releasing on switch (2) are worth checking out?
4 days left..who boughted?
>>739898927Oh shit it's coming it that soon? For some reason thought it was in August. Fuck I still haven't played remake, was planning on picking it up next time it was on sale.
>>739894230>What are you currently enjoying today on your Switch 2 /v/?Lego Star Wars TSS>What are you looking forward to, or most excited for in 2026 so far?So far Splatoon Raiders >Did you get anything from the current eShop sales?The aforementioned Star Wars >Playing anything on handheld boost mode?Nope
>>739895068>5.8M in one year vs 7.5M in 6 years This is going to be a bloodbath.
>>739898874I never played DK64. It seemed a bit weird and not its own thing with games like Banjo-Kazooie and Mario 64 being an option. And that is the opinion kid me had. I had to mow lawns to buy those crazy ass expensive games so I was pretty picky and looking for new things only. Now I did play Donkey Kong Classics, Donkey Kong GB, Donkey Kong Country 1/2/3, Donky Kong Land, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Konga, Mario vs Donkey Kong 1 & 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze featuring Funky Kong, and Bananza. Somehow never played DK64. Is it actually any good? It seems like such a weird game compared tgo the rest.
>>739899250It's weird, you would think it would be Banjo but with DK, but to me it seems to somehow feel way different. Personally I love it and think it's got a lot of charm to it, as well as fits right in with the Donkey Kong series. But it is the collectathon to end all collectathons. It has a reputation of being a little too much collecting, and I definitely get that even though it never bothered me as a kid since I rarely got new games so the more content the better. It's definitely worth a play. Probably not a marathon but just something you pick up and play every now and then when you need something a little more fun to run around in.
>>739899250Fuck off avatarfag
>>739899685Thats not avatar, thats frieren, beyond journeys end.
Seriously though, why would I pay €80 for a children's game? After The Duskbloods it'll probably accumulate dust like all Nintendo consoles do.
>>739899780You are just as bad
still gotta beat bananza, im gonna be out and about later and wanna pick up something on physical, maybe super mario rpg or cyberpunk. most of my current switch library is digital, unfortunately ( mk world, smash, botw, mario odyssey, etc)
>>739899984Badass maybe.
Is there any Square Enid switch 2 release that isn’t a key card?
>What are you currently enjoying today on your Switch 2 /v/?I'm currently enjoying some "summer like games" to get ready for this hot summer:-Zelda: Windwaker Gamecube Classics-Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 edition-Strife: Veteran edition-Telenet Shooting Collection-Sonic Crossworlds Racing (there is a festival right now)Anyone can rec me other games for this summer?I'm thinking on playing FF7: Rebirth (on PS5 tho), Lil Gator Game and DK64 N64 Classics>What are you looking forward to, or most excited for in 2026 so far?Splatoon Raiders and Rhythm Heaven new game, Nintendo's first party output has been disastrous>Did you get anything from the current eShop sales?Telenet Shooting Collection, Deadzone Rogue and Sephonie>Playing anything on handheld boost mode?Nope>>739894901Is this any good?

>>739899250Stay but only if you post more Frieren
My three year old an I played Pokémon Snap cause there's a Pokémon craze hitting daycare. I wound up getting more into it than I expected. It's pretty simple and it's hard to get actual good pictures but it was fun bonding
>>739899917Since pc gaming is imploding and doesn't have much of a future I'm preparing to sell all my components to panic buyers and make bank. Everything I play is on Switch 2 anyways and it's comfier playing games handheld instead of at a desk so may as well move there while the rest of gaming explodes/has cloud gaming forced like jewvidia and microshit want. Plus Nintendo is the only one making good games anymore, and Japan only cares about the Switch 2 so they're going to focus on releasing to it. Just makes perfect sense to hunker down on the only platform that has a secure future.
>>739895051gonna be honest, im not really that into microswitch face buttons.
>>739900575i just sold my steam deck on ebay the day prices went up and osmeone snatched it up in 5 minutes, im mostly on switch 2 as well for nintenkino and other big releases/backlog is on my gaming pc
>>739900575I had high hopes for "mouse" mode on the switch 2 but it's actually awful to use, even with a special "mouse" joycon mount. A shame really. I was looking forward to playing first person games on the Switch from my couch.
>>739899250Having to go back to tag barrels every time you want to change kongs is annoying. But the game was designed around that. If you emulate on PC there's a tag anywhere mod. However your first playthrough I urge you to play without tag anywhere so you can get a feel for all the little details in the level design.
>>739900247You have to play Bananza like a platformer to greatly appreciate it. If you play it just like a destruction sandbox then you'll get bored quickly.
>>739894230Currently replaying Final Fantasy IX. Looking forward to Rebirth, and the inevitable OOT remake. Looking forward to seeing what else is coming on this thing.
Felix the Toy DXNew Pokémon SnapStreet Fighter 6
>>739901641I kinda wish the OoT Remake was more like A Link Between Worlds where you revisit OoT's Hyrule but its a new game. I'd like to visit OoT's map without loading zones. Including a fully exploreable castle.
about to pick up and marathon yoshi
>>739901185>Having to go back to tag barrels every time you want to change kongs is annoying>emulate on PC there's a tag anywhere mod>don't use it first runNeat, I was just gonna play it on Switch 2 online since I have the family plan for my wife and I. That does sound kind of annoying but will definitely play it stock the first time.>>739900292>only if you post more FrierenDone>>739899685>Fuck off avatarfagI don't think I will.>>739899616Hmm, didn't think it would feel unique but I'm happy to hear that it does. Looking forward to it now. Though I have grown out of the lust for collectathon games. The early assassin's creed games really burned me out on that.That is the plan though, play maybe 30 minutes a day for a few weeks on my lunch break. Thanks for the insight anon.
>>739901641>Currently replaying Final Fantasy IXI remember buying the port a long ago on Switch but the pre-rendered backgrounds looked like ass in addition of the long loading times (which i assume may have been fixed on Switch 2 at least) so I didn't play it much
i literally just got a switch 2 and my brother happens to have all the main games alreadyis there more convenient way to share games other than BEGGING him to lend me each game manually when i want it?this shit is making me only wanna play one game at a time
>>739894230not getting a switch 2 until it gets cracked
Is there anything people can do to help shed the stigma “Japanese-looking” games have on the switch?
>>739902879Why would you buy a Switch if you hate Japanese games in the first place?
>>739902972Look at how Nintendo fans react to anything remotely “anime-looking”
>>739903094Nintendo's niche is that they are a platform for Japanese middleware games. If they don't like Japanese games then they are free to not buy Japanese games.
>>739902420No, the backgrounds look like shit on every platform, unless you mod them on PC. They lost the files years ago.
Is gundam breaker 4 or deamon ex machina titanic scion worth buying for online play? They're both on sale.
>>739895051I tried a lot of 3rd party joycons on switch 1 and the thing they all lacked was good feeling rumble. I'm probably just gonna skip on 3rd party joycons on switch 2. Maybe a satisfye grip or something.
>>739902879It clearly doesn't need to do that considering 150 million sales. If anything it's not filtering enough retarded normalfags.
>>739903857Hello?
Will the NS2 figures just keep going up and up each week as panic sets in before the price increase?Honestly announcing the price increase future date was 4D chess.
>>739904037With 150 million sales, why are so many “Japanese-looking” and “anime-looking” struggling so hard to sell on Switch and getting hated by Nintendo fans all the time?
>>739904178Because all they care about are exclusives made by Nintendo themselves.Its fucking sad how loyal they are.
>>739894230>grew bored with MKW after two hours>Bananza is some ADHD nonsense>not interested in Yoshi or building games like PokopiaAt the very least, Switch 2 is very relaxing to play as a handheld. Switch 1 handheld was painful because the joycon buttons were small and beady and stabbed your fingers.Playing Wind Waker and TTYD remake in bed is great.
>>739902628>is there more convenient way to share games other than BEGGING him to lend me each game manually when i want it?No just man up and ask to borrow ganes.
>>739898927The reversible cover looks pretty cool.
>>739894230>What are you currently enjoying today on your Switch 2 /v/?Finishing the dex in Pokopia and terraforming for decoration. Also a bit of Salmon run since there's a golden rotation>What are you looking forward to, or most excited for in 2026 so far?Raiders in 2 months>Did you get anything from the current eShop sales?NothingStill waiting on more reviews of Mina. I don't know if it's my own paranoia, but it feels like it's getting pushed a lot because the studio claimed they'd go bankrupt if it didn't do well
>>739904329>exclusives made by Nintendo themselvesWhat about Fire Emblem and Xenoblade then; I feel like they get far more hate from Nintendo fans than stuff from Square Enix or Capcom
SF6 is on sale, I still think the game looks ugly but Mai and Ingrid are sexo, I wonder if I should jsut buy it.
>>739904734They still sell well
>>739894230>What are you currently enjoying today on your Switch 2 /v/?Pokemon Leafgreen.>What are you looking forward to, or most excited for in 2026 so far?Waiting for 2027' Pokemon or another $20 GBA rom.>Did you get anything from the current eShop sales?No>Playing anything on handheld boost mode?NoNice pokemon machine overall.
>>739904831I have it. The controls are difficult on the switch 2's dpad. Might be easier if you plan on using modern controls but I use classic and I miss alot of inputs.
Is anyone getting Steins Gate Reboot?
Mina
>>739904021why not just get a pro controller?
>>739905383I do have a pro controller. I mean joycon substitutes to be used in handheld mode.
>>739905251Boughted her game already.
>>739905472.......... why........ it comes with the best joycons........
>>739904021if you're not a limpwrist pansy you should get the newdery battery case. it's pretty comfy despite the obvious weight gain.
>>739904937Is world tour any fun or just a gimmick that gets old fast? also do you mean with Joycon or Pro controller?
>>739900247>>739900247Name of this qt White woman?
>>739904021You should check Dbrand joycon grips whatever they are called, I like them, you can just buy those grips and not the whole package, you can still dock the console with those on, the only problem is that you will have to unplug the left joycon if you need to use the USB ports.
I just bought a Switch 2 bros, is the Pro controller really necessery? Are the joycons really that shitty to play on TV?
>What are you currently enjoying today on your Switch 2 /v/?Fire Emblem Path of Radiance. GameCube service is fucking rad. Never played this one as a kid and very much enjoying it. Approaching what I assume is the final parts of the game.Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. Pretty early on, but it's fun going back to this and seeing the ways its designed without certain standardisations in the series since. Having a lot of fun with it.So mostly been on the GameCube stuff since there's not been any big new stuff recently. But they're coming in the next few months so there's that at least.>What are you looking forward to, or most excited for in 2026 so far?Star Fox. While I don't think we needed ANOTHER SF64, I can't lie that I'm interested in the concept they're going for here.Rhythm Heaven Groove. Will be my first time playing the series, always thought it looked fun.Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave. It was actually Engage that got me into the series in a big way (Three Houses didn't land for me but I did finish it), and i've since played Sacred Stones and now PoR. So this will be the first FE game I'm ACTIVELY excited for before release.>Did you get anything from the current eShop sales?Whenever I see it I'm tempted by the GTA Trilogy because I want a portable San Andreas, but the fact it's the dogshit Definitive versions sucks so I haven't bought it.>Playing anything on handheld boost mode?Nope, but I have considered buying the Switch version of Fate/Samurai Remnant since I hear it runs a fair bit better on Switch 2. I absolutely fucking LOVED that game, already own it on PS5 and finished it 3 times + all DLC, but I'd love a reason to play it again.
>>739905774World tour i haven't played much but its awright. You get fun little text messages from characters that are cute. And I mean Joycon. Haven't used pro controller.
>>739906237Even with Switch 1 I always thought the grip for the joycons was perfectly usable and it is only better now since they are bigger, just play with that for a while and see if it is enough for you, but I'll say Pro 2 is easily my favorite 1st party controller, now if you have a Pro1 I don't think is it that much worth the upgrade.
>>739906237I mean it's not necessary but the joycons do kinda suck. You could always put them in the controller grip and see if you can make do with that. If not 8bitdo has a cheaper controller. The pro controller is pretty nice but it's pricey so it's understandable if you want to skip it and save a few bucks.
imj trying to enjoy games in handheld mode but text size is so small like wtf, can't developer add slider to change the size? FUCK YOU!
>>739906239The GTA Definitive Trilogy isn't that bad anymore, I mean, it's still way inferior to the originals but they aren't as terrible as they used to beThey're decent enough, but yeah, it still needs to big updates or patches maybe for them to be good, but we know that Rockstar of David won't bother anymore, let alone put the removed music
>>739899917As someone with a good pc and a hacked switch 1, im in the same boat. Literally 0 reason to buy switch 2 and the games for it are overpriced. Looked up the list of upcoming games and shit is grim.
>>739905673>get the newdery battery caseCringe.>>739904021Get this case: https://www.savage-raven.com/collections/nintendo-switch-2/products/savage-raven-by-skull-co-fissiongrip-revolutionary-split-grip-design-for-switch2?variant=51222966370596 (30 on amajew or cheaper here with coupons)and this front cover: https://www.savage-raven.com/collections/nintendo-switch-2/products/savage-raven-by-skull-co-the-hardshell-front-cover-for-switch-2-standgrip?variant=50574670889252The case allows for use of the kickstand, detachable joycons, has a brace for the joycon-to-switch connection to prevent damage from holding the device by a single attached joycon, and a covering case to provide the switch 360 degrees of protection while traveling without adding an INSANE amount of bulk like 99% of other grip cases. About as thick as the cursed skin you linked that makes face buttons impossible to press.In addition to this you can do some fancy shit like doubling the battery with a few things.Magnetic ring: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CY1ZB8YB (any ring between .5 and .8mm should work, these are .7mm and what I used)Magnetic battery (45W output via usb-c for max charge speed): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMP8N3D92cm USB-C angled cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FL82DWSJWith this you have double the Switch 2 battery life without any dangling wires.$43 for case/cover (coupons or amazon)$4 for magnetic rings$32 for 38.7Wh battery that can output the peak W input charging on Switch 2 (which only has a 19.75Wh battery)$9 for 2mm USB-C cable$88 for the ultimate travel switch. Throw in a JCally USB-C amp/dac dongle so you can use headphones (10-20$) and you're really gaymen. See pic related for setup.
Half my fucking wishlist is on sale I'm trying to save for a move you can't be showing me this
Whose dick do I have to suck at Nintendo for the 3ds Fire Emblem games to get ported
Ball x Pit makes me feel like a brainlet since I only last one minute. How do I get good at this?
>>739906740Yeah, I remember they did a fairly significant patch but IIRC it fixed just the glaring technical bugs or very easy to fix stuff, and still left a ton of problems including the ones that just completely changed the intended visuals. Unless it gets another big patch to fix those, I won't bother.>>739907634Having only more recently gotten into FE, I'd love an Awakening and/or Fates port for sure.
So uhmWhich third party games would you like to see on Switch 2?Me:>Genshin Impact>Dark Souls 2 and 3 >Code Vein 1 and 2>Scarlet Nexus>Dragon's Dogma 2>Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remakes>Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (will never happen tho)>Silent Hill 2 and f, also a Remastered Silent Hill collection
>>739907868How come the Zero Escape trilogy (999, VLR, ZTD) haven’t been ported yet? Stuff like AI Somnium Files is on the Switch and the Zero Escape trilogy have all already been on Nintendo systems in the past
>>739907868Remnant 2, all of the Bayonetta games at 1080p 120FPS in handheld mode, Dead as Disco, Alabaster Dawn, Darktide, both Ori games, Esoteric Ebb, Gunboat God, DMC5/DMC4 SE at 1080p 120FPS handheld, Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33, Armored Core 6, Prodeus, Valkyria Chronicles 4 CE, WARFRAME at 1080p 120FPS handheld, Zero Ranger w/ Tate, Vanquish at 1080p 120FPS handheld, Danmaku Unlimited 3 w/ Tate, Furi 1080p 120FPS handheld, Transistor 1080p120, and so much more.
>>739907818You just play it over and over and you level up. It's designed to just grind it like a retard. Shit game. No skill is required you eventually get to high enough level that you win
>>739907868Ghost recon wildlands
>>739907868Vanillaware collection would be welcome, but if I had to pick just one, I would LOVE a Dragon's Crown port.
>>739906237Joycons suck on both the S1 and S2. I was dying for a Pro Controller but didn't want to justify the price on the S1 since it seemed outlandish for a controller but bit the bullet when I grabbed by S2. No regrets. Going from a PDP Rematch (Picture related) controller to this is like night and day. I basically only have that thing now because it's a gorgeous controller but I will never touch it again.
>>739894230playing cyberpunk. switching from playing at my desk to tv soon. looking at comfy chairs
>>739900575You deluded people who think consoles are magically insulated from PC are in for an extremely rude awakening. If PC actually implodes consoles would already be dead by that point.
Why did the switch 1 not get a price cut after the switch 2 came out? Why did the price go up instead?
Is it okay to start xenoblade with xenoblade x? im not playing 1 before gets an switch 2 update. that shit still looks too blurry and 30fps
>>739908856The cost to produce hardware has gone up near universally thanks to mega companies hyper-investing in AI. This has reached the point where it has become so impactful that one of the worlds largest producers of RAM has stopped selling to non-corporate audiences because all of their production will be allocated to corporate data centers, and changes like that have resulted in hardware prices increasing, including RAM being 5x what it used to cost a few years ago.The PS5, Xbox Series and even Steam Deck have all seen price increases because of this, as has the Switch as you said. This is also why a price point is STILL not confirmed for the Steam Machine
>>739908826That's master race cope sorry to say. PC gamers are at the mercy of part manufacturers who are dropping like flies to cater to big business instead of consumers. Big names like Micron already made it official that they've dropped out, and Nvidia doesn't even bother to report on its gaming sector anymore. It's only a matter of time.Consoles have the luxury of not being dependent on individual components. Manufacturers will strike up a deal for their parts and it's done. In the current climate those parts will become more expensive and the consumer will see a bump in price for the console as seen, but that's the end of the struggle.And the grim reality of it all is pc userbase is a dwindling one. Newer generations don't use computers at all anymore, just tablets and phones. Younger generations do all their gaming on consoles and mobile devices, while the pc gaming scene is dwindling down to a shrinking older userbase. What remains of the part industry will see less and less sales until it fades away.
Stray just got a surprise Switch 2 porthttps://www.polygon.com/stray-switch-2-upgrade-release-annapurna/
>>739909119It’s alright, just be warned that Xeno X plays differently from the rest of the series in how it’s an actual open world with much higher freedom of movement (and mechs!) compared to the other games; for example it is the only one of the games that actually has a sprint buttonAnd as a result of the open world, much of the narrative comes through gameplay and exploration and worldbuilding compared to the other gamesAnd playing Xeno X first might make Xeno 1 difficult to get through because X’s battle system is mostly a faster-paced and more fun version of 1’s
>>739909119It's unrelated to the XC games and is much more open world than the other games.>im not playing 1 before gets an switch 2 update. that shit still looks too blurry and 30fpsYou'll likely be waiting years like everyone else because the XCXDE S2 update was not received well at all.
>>739908517The money I would pay for their action games, all we have gotten form them in the past years has been nothing but tactical and turn based : ( I want more of their combat goodness.
>>739909568For me, the 60fps still trumps the drawbacks due to how much smoother it made actually playing the game and moving around feel; and personally when playing in TV mode i never really noticed the drawbacks much
>>739909407Console gaming literally would not exist without the PC market. Consoles are entirely redundant wastes of compute with dogshit margins as far as these market conditions are concerned. I get that you just want to fanboy, but you better pray for Nintendo's sake that PC does not implode.
>>739909627I absolutely loved Unicorn Overlord and 13 Sentinels, so while I did love their action games, I'm more than happy to see them experiment more.That said I would really appreciate Muramasa being ported in particular. It being stuck on Wii and Vita, and the DLC on Vita specifically, is insane.
>>739907868All I want is the rest of the final fantasy series even if it's the mostly mediocre ones. 13 collection, (real) 15, and 16.11 is of course out of the question but if ever they want to do an offline one it's welcome.
Deckies got BTFO so badly they went from saying it was more affordable to dropping the "just build a 2K PC bro".
>>739909407Dude what do you think is in the switch2? Rocks and glue?
>>739909407>Consoles have the luxury of not being dependent on individual componentsWhat? They are extremely dependent on locked in components. PCs can be slapped together with whatever, but a console has to stick with the same parts its whole life. The only reason consoles haven't gotten completely slammed like the deck did is because they had preexisting contracts and ordered far more upfront, so they could slowly raise the price over time and raise the prices on their other products to offset it. The switch 2 only having 12gb ram and a weak cpu is also helping in comparison to the deck's 16gb.Not to mention if the pc market implodes, nobody is going to have the compute to make video games, let alone the compute to lock down in a console. You're awfully irreverent to the very thing that's actually used to develop the games you fanboy for. They're certainly not being made on switch 2's.
I'm worried Nintendo's next console will be cloud streaming only via nVidia Geforce Now type service. I digress. Like a retard I pulled the trigger on DQVII Reimagined digital for 25% off. I planned on getting it digital anyway.
how do I get the flower guys to give me a flower crown? Ive fed them apples, they made their own, I havent groundpounded them, what am I doing wrong
i wasn't going to buy one until an exclusive came out that I give a fuck about.As it stands, they're raising the price to $50 in september...and the choose-your-game bundle was tempting. so I have a switch 2 and pokopia, now. Maybe I'll pick up prime 4 for $40 from best buy
Willing a Nintendo direct to happen this week. Stand back everyone.
>>739912226It's pretty much a given, it's no-longer-but-still-basically E3 week next week.State of Play on the 2nd, Summer Games Fest on the 5th. Xbox Show on the 7th. Wouldn't be surprised at a Direct around the 10th.
>>739912226My bet is directs will be anually from now on. So no direct until September.
>>739912427Yeah, I think we will get a Direct announcement next week, most likely on Monday or TuesdayI hope they announce some good stuff, Nintendo's 2026 has been pretty weak so far
>>739902270>>739899616Im looking forward to play it again after like 20 years. I hold good memory of it nd, yes, it was extra long. But back then it was a perk. I think most criticism comes from completionists because indeed the game has a bit too many collectables. I have never cared ro pickeverything up if there wasnt a good reason for it so i was immune and enjoyed the game just fine. Or at leastthis is my memory. I was just content with reaching the end and i have to say that you can totally tell the game used the expansion pack. People believing that shit story about the expansion pack just fixing some bug is out of their minds. Some og dev already confirmed DK64 used advanced vertex lighting that needed extra memory and you can absolutely tell. Storms and enclosed areas that have torches look extra nice.
>>739909873Cry harder, steam could go bankrupt and the entire pc market collapse and nintendo wouldn't even notice. The P stands for PERSONAL, btw.
Seriously, every fucking lightgun game that was released before the ps4 and xbone came out needs to be ported to the switch platforms. What the fuck is holding up nintendo from pushing that shit?
>>739913312There was a lightgun console that released but I forgot the name of it.

The Lite has really been the only ergonomic option for portable play for me
>>739913312Name three
Somehow I feel owning a Switch 2 will be alright in regards to smaller AA games and indies. Its just powerful enough for good games but not too powerful to ignore optimization.
>>739915780Switch 2 is just a Switch 1 on steroidsI don't mind but I wish we could get better and more innovative, fun games

>>739910368It's more that the deck could emulate sw1 and run all the pc games but that was because the sw1 was extremely underpowered even on release and had a day 1 unpatchable hack. Since there is no sw2 hack and even if there was one the sw2 specs are 3x higher than switch 1, that drops the value proposition of things like steam deck and pc gaming a lot. Because there likely won't be an emulator for the first time in many decades so everyone will have to buy the console
>>739906237I recommend getting the switch 1 or 2 pro controllers because the joycons are uncomfortable especially if you plan on playing for hours at a time
>>739894230>What are you currently enjoying today on your Switch 2 /v/?Still on a pokopia phase. Been shuffling buildings around and redecorating my palette town>What are you looking forward to, or most excited for in 2026 so far?I'm very hype for Star fox and splatoon raiders>Did you get anything from the current eShop sales?Bought darkest dungeon.

>>739907868bloodstained scarlet engagement, original dead space, and castlevania requiem collection

Been playing Sonic Mania. Some of the later levels are meh. So overall a good time. Bought Irem Collection 2 for the Gun Force games since it’s by the Metal Slug guys early work. Other games were on sale. Already have Star Fox preordered.
>>739894230>What are you currently enjoying today on your Switch 2 /v/?Fire Emblem 3H>What are you looking forward to, or most excited for in 2026 so far?Fortunes Weave. Might get Star Fox or Splatoon Raiders for $50 if I feel like spending the money.>Did you get anything from the current eShop sales?No, but I am interested in Hollow Knight/Silksong.>Playing anything on handheld boost mode?3H. I feel it is the best way to experience the game in an official capacity. The battery life is unfortunate, however.>>739919835Boost Mode lets you run the docked mode of S1 software on a handheld S2.
>>739894360I have a screen protector so yes
>>739919835What the fuck, dude?Are you depressed?
>>739920302Nice
>>739912226I'm not expecting this week. Nintendo likes a stage to themselves, they're not going to "compete" with the State of Play or Summer Games Fest. If there is one this month, it'll be after all the others. Same reason they always had their show last in the E3 days as well.
>>739921097No, I'm just selective with the games I buy and there's nothing interesting to me on the horizon. Maybe if Nintendo announced a new Xenoblade or Astral Chain I'd be excited, but excuse me if I don't jump for joy at the chance or repurchasing the Lylat Wars for what, the fifth time now?
>>739912901I'm cautiously optimistic. Hopefully it is as fun as people seem to suggest. I'm not bothered by missing a few bananas luckily.
Still playing Cosmos
>>739921831Its not golden bananas. Its collecting everything else from N64 and Rare coins, banana medals, banana fairies, banana coins, blueprints (which lead to golden bananas but are important for spoilers), etc.
>>739894230I'm not sure whether to play 3rd party JRPGs on Switch 2 handheld or my PS5 Pro and 4k OLED TV. Obviously PS5 will look better, but handheld is easy to pick up and play, especially with having kids.
>tfw never played that much of XB3 on Switch>Can now play it on Switch 2I imagine it will run and look significantly better.
>>739923387If you play handheld you need to turn on boost mode in the options menu to make it look decent. Otherwise it'll stretch the low resolution screen and make it look blurry. Unless you care about preserving battery power.
>>739913298Hard to tell whether anons like you are 60 IQ or just underageb&.
>>739894230playing Tears of the Kingdom, excited for Adventures of Elliot
>>739904121i mean, it pushed my purchase date up (to yesterday!).I was going to just wait until an exclusive I wanted released...
Bros, I want a general direct so bad… the last one was forever ago.
>>739923332This decision paralyzed me from playing several games I wanted to for like the past couple of years and it makes me angry I ever got like that.My beefy pc has spoiled me because I know how nice 4k/120fps gaming is, but I also work on a computer 40+ hours a week and I just want to be far away from computers after work. On the other hand the Switch is my dream device because of it being hybrid, but the low res/low fps gaming was off putting to me. Eventually I just kinda forced myself to get used to it and now I game on my switch 2 without even thinking about it.Of course this will all boil down to what's more important to you. I just like being able to take my games to work or chill in bed or put it up on the big screen.
>>739914798Resident evil chronicles duology along with RE dead aim, dead space extraction, the house of the dead series before any of those shitty remakes, that obscure far cry arcade spin off paradise lost, and silent hill arcade just to name some.
>>739925224I'd like an actual IR lightgun pointer accessory.
I'm kind of sad the tomodatchi thread died, i liked stealing ideas from there
>>739925909I just figured they were unusable like most /v/ threads these days because of the nonbuynary ritual posters so I stopped popping in those threads
>>739926116Nah the threads just died out in interest. I'm still at 22 OC miis. But I'm taking a break. I'm thinking about starting all over and remaking almost all of my Miis.
>>739926305Why do that? Couldn't you just edit them?
>>739894230Dont got a switch but I just finished SSBU adventure, pretty good
I miss Arms
>>739926359I can, but I learned some more tricks that hopefully make me a better artist this time. Also a reset is kind of warranted sooner than later.
guys how is the mario tennis game? i want something switch 2 exclusive, a comfy game i can play before going to sleep
>>739927138Its not as technical as Aces. And it's single player is crap. Fever rackets add more chaos to matches. Not sure if chaos is your thing.
>>739927616i mean is it fun? is it comfy?
>>739894360phone's more powerful, lol.
>>739894230>What are you currently enjoying today on your Switch 2 /v/?Persona 3 Reload. Pretty fun, though I'm still in June.>What are you looking forward to, or most excited for in 2026 so far?Star Fox, Splatoon, Rhythm Heaven, Fortune's Weave and Duskblood. There's more but I can't name them.>Did you get anything from the current eShop sales?I'm eyeing Atelier Marie Remake and Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.>Playing anything on handheld boost mode?Nope.>>739907868Vanillaware. All of them.I will also post Frieren.
>>739927835Fun? Possibly. Comfy? Doesn't seem like it with the chaotic fever rackets.

>>739928950Nice.>>739922612What kind of game is this?
>>739928592Damn I full on forgot there was a new Rhythm Heaven announced. Nintendo just straight up pulled Sony and announced three games a year ago then mentioned nothing about them since.
>>739894230>EnjoyingTomodachi Life mostly. Starting to slow down some on playtime, but it'll be an often revisited game since it allowed me to marry and have a child with the most beautiful girl in existence.>Looking forward toElliot and a new 3d Mario mostly.>eshop salesI looked at a couple, but nothing I feel that inclined to get. Taking suggestions though. Would love something like simple rpg with a decentish story.>handheld boostI legitimately have no clue what that is.
>>739928928I miss him, bros...
>>739929397We all do.
>>739929092Its a remake of the two PSP R-Type Tactics games, it actually works pretty well even if its a little jank in places
>>739894230>enjoyingSplatoon3>looking forward toSplatoon raiders, Culdcept, Honogurashi and Relink DLC which all comes out in july
>>739894230Still playing through Yoshi. Damn, I was not expecting it to have this much content. It's not my favorite game ever, buts it's a damn good one and it has so much creativity it's kind of wild. A shame so many have just dismissed it as a "baby game".
Square not offering an upgrade path for the switch 2 version of DQ11 is actually such bullshit. Greediest piece of fucking shit ever. (I will buy it anyways, I'm part of the problem)
>>739930602I'll probably pick it up one of these days when I've got nothing else to play. My backlog is too crazy right now, I need to get ahead of it before new games get announced. It does look super charming.
I bought shadowverse since it was on sale on the eshopThe card art is all over the place. Very funny clash of these highly detailed western style drawing of knights and dragons and skeletons and then there's these little anime girl doodles. Story is retarded tranime nonsense, I wish there was less of it since it's constantly getting in my way and preventing me from playing the card game. The Card Game is fun though, good little hearthstone clone and I like the way you use prebuilt decks instead of being allowed to cheese the game with beatersFire Emblem and Splatoon Raiders are day one buys for me. I'm hoping for something good from the Summer direct as well, Pokopia is the only "new" game I've bought so far this year.
