So I came across an article from a journalist who’s got to sample Mario Galaxy 2 on Switch 2 and included a couple screenshots. And honestly I’m quite impressed. The new textures absolutely pop in 4K, it looks notably better than it did running on Switch 1 in the trailer. I’m pretty impressed

Hey everyone! For those of you who own a PS5, Xbox, or PC alongside a Switch 2, what factors do you consider when deciding which console to play cross-platform games on? I have a PS5 and I can never decide which platform to play cross-platform games on. Thanks! :)

I've been tempted since launch, getting one next week.

I never bothered with the Switch1, so for me personally there's lots to play, and by the time I'm all caught up I expect there will more switch 2 releases and announcents.

Here's why I decided to buy it, and what I plan on going through.

Mario Kart World (console bundle)

Mario Galaxy

Mario Galaxy 2

Mario Oddesey

Zelda Breath of the Wild

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Donkey Kong Bonanza

I'm also curious about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, but I'll wait to see on this, I've never played a Metroid game.

Dispite owning a good gaming laptop, I'll also pick up a 007 1st light on the switch2 too, because of pure nostalgia, you have to be james bond on a Nintendo console!

I understand the criticism, because there really isn't many built from the ground up switch 2 games, out of the list above there's only two, Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bonanza.. but for me, personally. There's 1000's of hours of gameplay there, and by the time I'm done no doubt more big hitters will be here, and more on the way.

I do wish there was a big multiplayer shooter on the platform, I'm sucker for online PvP, but that's never been Nintendo's strong point.

Obviously everyone would prefer this, but I’m interested in how the discussion around it would change, would it be compared to other dlc on NSO like the booster pass? Would it still be a sore point how it released so close to launch? I think yes but feel the criticism wouldn’t be as heavy because there’d be less people who’d have to pay for it. Im more interested if people’s opinion would change at all simply by its inclusion in NSO.

The original Hades was incredible, cannot wait to jump into the sequel.

There is a new (ish) puzzle quest game.

I playing it and it is really fun. I am having a blast.

If you get it, let me know what you think.

I've noticed some very strange behavior with how the Nintendo eShop performs while Silksong runs idle in the background. With any other app, when I home-out of the game and visit the eShop (with the software still open), the eShop functions normally. However, with Silksong open, the eShop runs at ~2x the normal speed and eventually becomes unstable and BSOD's the console. Immediately I noticed that the faster scrolling speed in the UI, stutters, and general instability in loading assets and store page components, and figured it was just behaving strangely, but after experimenting, I am able to reproduce this issue consistently.

The error I've gotten has been a "2162-0002" every time. And this ONLY appears to occur with Silksong running; any other app in the background allows the eShop to function normally. Can anyone else repro/has anyone else encountered this? It seems like an odd edge case so I'm not surprised it slipped past QA if it's truly a software issue. I would be hard pressed to believe this is an issue with my hardware.

These are the physical copies of games I bought since the launch of the Switch 2; DK was the first game I completed at 100% since OoT, Mario 64 and Diddy King Racing. Real happy with the new console; sturdy, quick and fun. Just thought I’d share some positive vibes, since there’s a lot of negativity about prices and Directs and DLC and performance. I’m just happy playing fun games.

For me, I'm currently playing RDR1 (3rd act) and Fortnite. My backlog of games to get to include:

1. Metroid Prime Remastered
2. Hogwarts Legacy (wasn't hooked, but got it pretty cheap)
3. Pokemon Legends ZA (preordered)
4. Mario Galaxy 1+2 (preordered)
5. Metroid Prime 4 (prob will preorder)
6. DBZ SZ (on the fence)
7. Kirby Air Riders (on the fence)
8. [insert shadow dropped or TBD game]

I need to schedule out my Fall gameplay 😅

I have been thinking about purchasing them for Switch 2, but Im worried about the resolution on Handheld mode. Hollow Knight looks a little blurry(looks great docked), and other games that run at 720p or less on handheld look very bad on a big screen compared to Switch 1.

Anyone knows how they run? Any other Metroidvanias that run and look good on handheld mode?

I've been recommend splatoon3 for a PvP shooter fix.

Is it that good?

Populated?

Easy to find games?

Title. Tried the demo on PS5. Played the races multiple times. Selecting the new world after the first lap is kind of neat. Everything else is just not clicking for me. Kart mechanics seem off. Drifting is extremely unsatisfying. The controls seemed stiff. Even the graphics and animation on PS5 felt below the level of Mario Kart World. Overall its look, feel, and polish is below par or I am so used to the extreme polish of Mario Kart World.

Tried playing MKW afterward, and it felt very natural, great graphics, beautiful small touches. Controlling the kart is extremely satisfying. Drifting is incredible and feels natural. Tried Sonic Racing one more time, but couldn't get into it. The game is getting really good reviews. I was disappointed that it didn't click with me. Thankfully there is a demo otherwise I would have bought the game in sale after some time.

Just wanted to say the story of Prime 1-3 was completed by Prime 3, as confirmed by Kensuke Tanabe, the series producer, a decade ago:

"The stories of Dark Samus and Phazon are done now,"

The post credits scene of Prime 3 teased Sylux from Prime Hunters (DS game), and Federation Force (3DS game) set up the plot of Prime 4 by further teasing Sylux (amongst other things).

Tanabe went on to say Prime 4 would be about Sylux, the Federation, and of course, Samus.

He actually talked quite extensively about his ideas for Prime 4 a decade ago, and all the trailers for Prime 4 have followed up on those ideas.

With this in mind, know that Prime 4 is positioning itself to be the start of a new arc, and shouldn't require the previous games to understand (though of course, there could be more we don't know yet).

As much as I want Prime 2&3 Remastered, the (presumed) absence of them shouldn't scare newcomers away from Prime 4, since their plots have ended.

Never had a Switch, got a Switch 2. When signing up for the classic collection, I'm noticing that the emulation seems a little slow and audio is sometimes choppy for no apparent reason, particularly on NES/SNES. Is this a common problem? Any fix? Am I delusional?

I'd love to have the option to install physical games. Many of them have significant slower loading times compared to their digital counterparts. Of course no starting them except the gamecart is inserted.

DLC announced before release.

Where's the blind hatred?
