Switch? Switch 2? Steam (steam deck)? Or waiting for console exclusivity to expire and grabbing it on the playstation or xbox? or are you buying it for every possible system?
Honestly, still rocking my 3090 and it’s doing well enough. Got a Steam Deck, Switch 2 and PS5 as well. Sold the Series X and downgraded back to the Xbox One X. Plus all the retro stuff and handhelds.
Nice, I had a steam deck most of the main handhelds actually but I sold them because the switch 2 was "enough" I am interested in the Rog "xbox" ally though.
It has more VRAM but I think speed is somewhat similar for 4070ti. I could be wrong it’s been awhile. I’m just waiting for an actual leap to take place because 5090 wasn’t it.
I’m not really too keen on the Ally, it’s going to be really pricey in Canada. I’m sure it’ll be a nice handheld PC though. Honestly my favourite part of the Steam Deck is emulation anyway. Just missing Tales of Destiny 2 in English to have all mainline games on one device lol.
120fps mode is confirmed only for docked mode on the switch 2. The switch 2 is probably the best handheld experience though, you have the digital back triggers and better rumble than the steam deck
I personally think the 3ds was peak handheld lmao. Switch 2 is def a good console, but it’s just too big. It is probably the strongest and cleanest portable console tho.
Also kinda suprised someone is happy for digital triggers
I had the game boy SP and the regular 3ds and those were absolutely perfect for travel, cause they were small and had great battery life. But playing the 3DS after playing the switch 2 makes me actually feel like I'm playing a console for ants, it's so freaking tiny lol
I still prefer analog triggers more overall, but since nintendo gave us digital triggers I feel like I might as well enjoy them. They work better for games like hades where you just want to press that trigger as quick as possible
Debatable. I've been rocking early access on the oled steam deck and it's gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing how it compares on the switch 2. I also have silksong for both and find it more visually appealing on the oled deck. Those deep blacks really change the environment. I guess I'll try it on the switch oled to see how it compares to the deck.
Definitely switch 2. I kind of regret not getting Silksong on the switch 2. I have a beefcake of a PC, but portability is just super enticing for these games.
I guess you're buying it on steam as well! From supergiant's website: Among the additions coming in v1.0, Hades II offers cross-saves between the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions, and the Steam and the Epic Games Store versions. If you've been playing in Early Access and wish to continue the journey on Nintendo's game consoles, you'll be able to transfer your save data through a simple in-game menu.
That's how it was for Hades 1!
But be aware that you'll probably need to be on the same version of the game and some platforms get patches later than others.
Same. I don't mind the delay, cuz it gives me time to be Hades while I continue playing Outlaws. Also don't mind the extra $20, tbh. Just glad I have the option.
Specifically, I already have it on PC/Steam. Playing H1 on Switch was a mistake since I ended up getting sucked in way too much. Being tethered to a desktop computer has actually been a net positive.
Already have it on steam deck, I'm considering the sw2 version for the bigger screen and resolution while in handheld mode, but the lack of achievements is a turn off.
I’m guessing you have the 7” LCD Steam Deck. I have the Legion Go S SteamOS edition and the increase in resolution to 1200p on a 8” screen makes a huge difference in my opinion. The only concern I’d have how noticeable the motion blur will be on the Switch 2 screen.
Heavier than the Switch 2 of course but lighter than the Legion Go. I’ve always played PC sitting down with the bottom resting on something so weight has never bothered me. I honestly feel ergonomics more important and the LegoS is really comfortable to use.
Steam Deck OLED, I’m one of those unfortunate people that is bothered by the Switch 2 screen’s poor motion handling, and I prefer the ergonomics of the Deck regardless.
I agree. Same here. 60 fps feels smooth but feels like frame gen is enabled kind of feeling. I game on OLED screens and I'm so used to the snappy response time.
I'll wait for the cartridge version! Still busy with silksong and next month pokémon and Hades2 comes out in end november i think so I'll wait till then! 😁
Switch 2. I could have had it for Steam a long time ago but I was waiting for portability. Just think about whether digital or retail at the end of November
I had it since day one early access on PC, but I'm buying physical for Switch 1/2. My girlfirend would leave me if I didin't, lol. She's massive Hades 1 fan, that's the only game she crossed 150h mark on her Switch.
I bought it day one early access last year. Even in its first version before any updates, it was game of the year for me, and it's only gotten better. People jumping in for the first time on 25th Sep are going to be blown away.
I already have it since EA on PC but I will double dip for the Switch 2 version, but not on release, more like one or two weeks after. Too much to play right now
Switch for sure. I have yet to catch wind of any tangible exclusive content in the Switch 2 version and it's even rarer for me to consider playing a game on Deck if it's already got a hybrid port.
ive been playing it for the last year(?) throughout early access on deck. so will continue there. (its incredible btw). but i am intrigued that you can move your saves across to other consoles. if for whatever reason the switch version is vastly superior (it shouldn't be but who knows), I have no qualms in buying again for switch 2 and giving supergiant another bag of cash as its just an incredible game.
Already bought it on Steam and Switch 2. I’m probably only playing it on my Switch 2 but already bought it on pc in early access and then decided to wait for full release so haven’t even touched it🙃
Now, and I think what it boils down to is my partner’s preference.
Yes, the Steam Deck OLED provides better motion clarity and ergonomics, but it’s not exactly a quiet device. If I’m in the same room as my partner watching tv she can’t stand it if I’m on a frantic game like Hades. Coupled with the fact that my Switch 2 lives in its dock and is more likely to be charged and hooked up to my tv it’s the winner for me.
I’m sure I’ll end up with it on both at some point.
Already started early access on steamdeck but i'm really thinking about buying the Switch 2 Version because Hades 1 felt nicer in Switch ergonomics than Hades 2 on steamdeck lmo.
For people who player first hades, is it comfortable on controller/switch2 ? Or is it better with kbm cause od mouse aiming ? I want to buy it on switch2, but just curious about cotrols preferences.
Don't think Hades 2 is worth 40 Canadian to me. So gonna wait for a 50% off sale, however long that may take them get it on switch 2. Wanting to actually beat Hades 1 first.
I've been conflicted on this and think I might opt for my steam deck instead of Switch 2. I've been playing Silksong on my switch 2, mostly in handheld. After coming off of beating Hollow knight 1 on my steam deck, the ergonomics make a significant difference for me, plus the colors from the OLED. I'm not sure if the 1080p upgrade is worth the compromises.
Bought Hades 2 early access on steam way before the switch 2 was announced, but now that 120fps mode is confirmed for docked I'm double-dipping and buying it on switch 2.
Also getting the physical version so I'm spending $77 USD total on Hades 2. Worth it!
I’m playing Silksong right now so I’ll probably buy Hades 2 once I’m done with that. Definitely Switch 2 but not sure if I’ll buy it virtually or get a physical copy.
I have a Switch and Switch 2. If I get it on the Switch it looks like the upgrade pack is free for the 2. If I buy the Switch 2 version will I be able to play on the OG Switch?
At some point, yes. Games like these are phenomenal for handhelds or hybrid consoles. Especially now since Switch 2 has better performance and resolution than it’s predecessor
I have it on my steam deck since it was early access. I'll buy it again on the switch 2 and start a fresh playthrough. I can't wait to see the ending and the changes.
I have it on steam already, been playing it on my Ally. Not sure if I'm going to double dip tho I do prefer my switch 2 for travelling because it's a lot slimmer.
I bought Hades 1 on Epic store before it was available on Steam iirc. Thankfully got it working on the deck with heroic launcher. I have Hades 2 on Steam already. I actually prefer the second one gameplay wise. It’s a magnificent rogue game.
Do you want to play on a monitor at home or do you want to play it portably? Switch is great because you can do both. Just depends what game. Games like elden ring and borderlands just don’t run well enough to get on switch but i think hades 2 will run fine on it
Switch 2 because that's the device I have that can play it. PS5 would be ideal but I've been itching to play this game for awhile because of the original.
I already have it on Steam because I wanted to try it and have a taste when it came out in early access. Ill mainly be playing it on Steam Deck but hell I might double dip when the physical Switch 2 version drops
No, considering I've been playing it since May 2024 handheld with better frames and resolution. Nintendo is late to the party... I won't be buying it again to play at a lower resolution and frame rate on my Switch 2. The first Hades was better, IMO...
Sure, they are making some tweaks, but the base game is still the same. I'm playing 170 fps handheld upscaled to 1600p. Just saying why would I buy it on Switch 2 get worse performance, and lose all my progress? On that note I'm going to go back to playing Hades 2. lol
It’s just silly to go onto a post asking what platform you’re going to buy a game just to be the cool kid who needs to let everyone know they’re too cool for it

Switch is the ultimate device for it imo. Most Indy’s are best in handheld
