Are some digital Switch games now crossing bundles?
I just bought. The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy digital . My receipt showed.
Device Type Nintendo Switch / Nintendo Switch 2.
Required Space Nintendo Switch: 13.3 GB Nintendo Switch 2: 13.3 GB . If I wait to play it on the Nintendo Switch 2 will it be a Switch 2 version with fast loading times?
I look forward to finally playing these 6 games, been waiting for their Switch 2 updates.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Pokemon Scarlet/Violet
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Super Mario Odyssey
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019 Remake)
@KidRyan I agree with you about the Zelda games if you haven’t played them at this point, it’s probably worth waiting for the switch 2 update Echoes of Wisdom in excellent.
I’d be surprised if Pokémon Violet’s open world Jank is fixed by a hardware upgrade. It can’t hurt so I wish you luck with that one.
Super Mario Odyssey is already a 60 FPS game on switch. It’s one of the greatest games of all time. If you haven’t played Super Mario Odyssey I would recommend playing it now and not waiting for switch 2.
Bowser's Fury also worth playing it’s far better than the rest of 3-D world. But nowhere near as good as Super Mario Odyssey. No idea how much an impact switch 2 will have at this point.
@Ryall 4K docked/1080p upgrade on the tablet for SMO, I imagine. Also, they're implementing HDR, so I'm curious to see how that changes the look of the game. Zelda definitely looks like it'll be benefiting from that.
Screenshots for Pokemon show improvement to draw distance and environmental density. If the game can manage a solid 60fps, it'll be so much better than the slideshow the game currently is lol.
I think I'll be waiting for other Nintendo Switch games to get updates as well. Need 4K/60 for Xenoblade, mouse controls for Pikmin, etc.

@Bentleyma All of the "Nintendo Switch 2 Editions" have new content. Nintendo is charging more for ones with more elaborate additions ($20 upcharge), whereas the Zeldas only get a $10 upcharge because their new content is comparatively thin. That said, the footage seems to suggest the Zeldas don't just have resolution and performance enhancements, but also lighting and probably texture improvements as well.
The free ones seem to be relatively basic resolution and performance uplifts that probably don't require a ton of work.

Thanks you for all the tips/advice, will try and remember after I get the Switch 2!
Which won't be for a few years, I never buy a console or handheld at launch.
Playing the original Super Smash Bros makes me appreciate Melee so much more. Controls are fairly inconsistent even with my N64 controller and physics are a bit off. A lot of staples began in the first game which was cool to see but Melee improved so so much.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner I played V and VI on Switch - and yes they play absolutely fine! (as you would well hope/expect considering the games are decades old!!)
I think these games really lend themselves to portable play, and the Switch is perhaps a better 'home' for those kind of titles vs PS4.
Started DK Country Returns
I died a lot
It is more difficult than I guessed, playing it in classic mode
My biggest complaint is rolling not having a dedicated single button, it is really annoying and the main reason of my deaths mostly
Wii is coming to RetroAchievements and with it, any free time that I possibly have. As much as the Cube was my first console and I have incredible memories with it, the Wii saw me through a solid 7 years of let’s just say ‘turbulent’ family life and it was where I played a whole lot of series for the first time. Even just achievements for Brawl and Wii Sports Resort will give me a great reason to go back to them.
I finally decided to shelve Hollow Knight: Silksong. I have completed it twice, with my second playthrogh actually getting 100% without a guide. I think it might be my new favorite game of all time—a feat that I never thought possible. I’m now playing Hades 2 on the Switch Lite and it runs surprisingly well. The story is starting to pick up traction, and it’s also subverting my expectations. It’s more or less more of the same from the first game, but expanded on and has a lot more intriguing mysteries. I’m excited to see where it goes, if I can it out alive.
I’m really hoping I can pick up a Switch 2 in the near future. I’ll be doing a lot of traveling in the coming months, and that handheld will be perfect for my gaming experiences, particularly with RPGs; i.e; Persona 3 Reloaded. I also have Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter but it is very blurry on the OG Switch, so I am going to go back and that game on hold until I get an S2.
I've been watching a streamer I like play Pokémon Legends Z-A recently and I gotta be honest, it's the first exclusive that's made me feel a slight stab of regret at not owning my own Switch. I'm having a good enough time watching it as and when, but I kinda wanna play it for myself someday!
"If I let not knowing anything stop me from doing something, I'd never do everything!"
I am just over a week away from my yearly trip to see my family, which means I have to make a choice between my Switch and my SteamDeck to take with me (five weeks and no gaming? No way!).
This year the choice is deffo my Switch 2. I had some serious buyers remorse for my Switch 2 for almost six straight months. I just thought in the world we live in, if I didn't snag one on launch and waited to pick up one when the exclusives started to mount, I either wouldn't be able to get one or I'd need to take out a Mortgage to buy one from a scalper, but it seems like for whatever reason that didn't happen, the Switch 2's have flooded the market just waiting to be bought.
However, ZA and Age of Imprisonment both game out close together and are some of my favourite games I have played released this year. And now I don't feel so bad about being an early adopter of this thing, even if it got no use for months on end. I feel like it is easy to forget just how much cool stuff is exclusive to Nintendo, even minusing their traditional mascot IPs.
I've got three Pokemon games to work through (ZA, my first playthrough of the Switch 2 version of Scarlet and I wanna replay Shield for the sheer joy of it).
Age of Imprisonment and the Switch 2 versions of BOTW / ToTK, not to mention Hyrule Warriors DE which is now locked 60 fps without a patch (come on Age of Calamity, please get patched!).
I am finally giving Xenoblade DE a proper go, I have played all the others but really struggled to get into this one, but I am committed this time.
Every time I take a good half a year away from my Switch I end up booting up either Engage or Three Houses, thinking I'll just do a quick mess around and focus on something newer. Never works. Fire Emblem is like a drug to me for some reason and I've already played about as much Three Houses in like two weeks as I did in Pokemon ZA in like a month and a half. After already playing this for hundreds of hours already.
I also picked up Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter on the Switch 2 as well.
There is also so many Switch 2 launch titles, or Switch 1 games I have bought previously and just never put significant time into. If I was disciplined I could probably just exclusively play my Switch 2 with all the titles I have on it already between Switch 1 and 2 for like two years and never need to buy anything new or run out of stuff.
I am sure once I get back home next year and have access to PS5 and PC again, with all those big tentpole releases that usually come in the first three months, demanding the power of the most high tech thing you own, the Switch 2 will once again go on ice for probably a good chunk of the year, at least until the new Fire Emblem comes out and takes over my life.
But for the purposes of travel and time away from home, I am very glad I got a Switch 2 in the end.
@Werehog Did you play Pokemon Legends: Arceus? Or watch your partner play it?
@Pizzamorg Nintendo gets a LOT of decent exclusives, so the consoles are pretty much always must buys for me. And if absolutely nothing else, I'd want one for the next Xenoblade, Mario, Zelda, and Fire Emblem games regardless!
Although my Steam Deck has absolutely taken precedence as my primary portable console over my Switches in general.
