@Buizel I never had the 3DS version so I’ve been holding off for this Switch port and my brother’s let me borrow it. I think he enjoyed it more than I am!
@nessisonett I actually downloaded the demo for DKCR on Switch... I genuinely couldn't believe the input lag. Felt like I was waiting forever for a jump to occur, long since pressing the button! (nb. definitely not a joycon issue, used same joycons to recently beat Nine Sols - which is utterly reliant on Sekiro-like reflexes and reliant button inputs)
Pretty cool playing Xenoblade X on Switch in handheld mode with good image quality and quality of life improvements across the board. I think I've repurchased almost all of my Wii U games at this point!
@nessisonett DKCR was designed to be a bit... basic, thematically, but the 3DS version (never played it on Wii) was very tight mechanically. Sad to hear they messed up the port so badly, somehow.
It's not as good as Tropical Freeze, but I'd still play the 3DS version over the SNES games any day. Just never found them to be particularly fun.
Seeing rumours of a potential Persona 4 remake connected to this Switch direct. A Persona 4 Remake wouldn't shock me in a general sense, but why do people think it would be announced at a Switch direct, do they think it'll be an exclusive? I dont think P3R was even on Switch was it?
P3 Reload wasn't on Switch @Pizzamorg and I don't see why Persona 4 Retuned (What I'm calling the remake cus tv's and stuff) would magically be on Switch but P3R wouldn't.
Switch 2 though? That seems like a no brainer.
I think it's cus of that potential domain being made for P4R recently and I think the ports for P3P and P4G were shown at a Nintendo Switch show first if I remember right? 🤔
I found the direct useless, they could have just made a blog post - I am really not the audience for most of what thrives on Nintendo systems, though, so maybe some of you found this exciting.
I was just gonna ask what your opinion on it all was @Ralizah as well.
You mean you weren't impressed with the app that tells you new info about the Switch 2 on a daily basis (I think I got that right?)... Or the Switch digital game card system? What a weird direct that was from the bits I've seen.
And what's with Bandai Namco having licences for Patapon and Everybody's Golf alongside Freedom Wars earlier in the year? The wild speculation it's seem to have awoken is just silly too
@HallowMoonshadow lmao you can currently fully share game libraries with someone else by making their console your primary, and visa versa. Now I'm wondering if this stupid game card overhaul is gonna ruin that. It's not a big deal if my nephew can keep 'sharing' my games over and over, but if there's a limit, that would suck so hard, dude!
We'll see. If the 'shares' are limitless and there's no restrictions on software usage, it could be a decent system, but we'll see.
I dunno. Hopefully they license out Gravity Rush next, though. Those games would thrive on a Nintendo platform, I think.
Or people could just ignore them again. Seems like that happens a lot with Japan Studio games -_-
Where the heck is Professor Layton? That rumored Fire Emblem remake? Prime 2 and 3 remasters?
They really dropped the ball here. Nobody cares about Tomodachi Life. Might as well end the next Direct with Chibi Robo while they're at it.
Yeah I'm still confused on how that digital card system is an improvement on the old system at all @Ralizah, it sounds like a massive downgrade in every aspect.
I know I said the Switch 2 reveal a couple months back was really dry and lacking that Nintendo "Innovation" but I didn't mean for them to do something as boneheaded as that!
I actually looked at Metroid Prime 4 trailer (I've never actually played a Metroid game before, prime or mainline) and... You weren't kidding in your original post about the direct. Weirdly low energy and... The voice over came off as kinda edgey to me too?
And yeah... Tomadachi life? The absolutely nothing of a game besides being meme worthy? And it's for 2026 too?!
Well... Hopefully they're saving it all for the Switch 2 presentation for ya!
At least Raidou looks decent (And coming to other platforms) with ACTUAL combat mechanics this time beyond a three hit sword combo and his dinky little gun.
Seriously... The fact the combat is completely OVERHAULED makes this so much more appealing to me. I genuinely would not have touched it if it was just a slightly tarted up port.

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.
Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2); Corpse Factory (PC)
@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.
