I’m probably there day 1 for switch 2, but i’m enjoying my switch more than ever right now and there were a lot of games today that appealed to me.

Like dq1-3, dkc, zelda…

Content on switch has been firing on all cylinders just these past 2 years where the quantity feels like it’d hitting the levels of where it should be for a combined portable+home console strategy.

I just got a Switch Lite used in very nice condition for €80, and it’s ultra nice in fairness. Being able to play all these games natively on a portable that tiny is still ludicrous to me. Why do we need a switch 2 exactly? Better gwaphics?

[nial]

Dragon Quest 1-3 are multi-platform Square Enix games, and DKCR is a $60 Wii port, sir.

 

[AV]

Why do we need a switch 2 exactly? Better gwaphics?

There ain't gonna be much that's cross-gen. Metroid Prime 4 will probably be just about it.

 

[Schmendrick]

k

 

[Imtjnotu]

The switch is dated. That's why we need a new one

 

[Tomi]

Not really

Bye

 

[Calverz]

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Nah, not really.

Switch is an amazing platform, but this Nintendo Direct didn't change much about it.

 

[Švejk]

Still no Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Oracle Remakes, ports of OoT and MM 3DS Remasters or Xenoblade Chronicles X. Still pretty limp to me.

 

[RoadHazard]

Nah. A bunch of pretty lazy remasters, a stop-gap Zelda built from LA remake assets, and MP4 as the only big new thing (which also looks a bit too familiar to me).

(DQ isn't Nintendo.)

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Why do we need a switch 2 exactly? Better gwaphics?

Play with Steam Deck for 5 minutes then we will talk. I refuse to buy anymore games on a shit ancient hardware that will run it at sub-20FPS because Nintendo wants to sell MK8 bundle one more time.

 

[Aldric]

I'm really interested in what they have in store for Switch 2.

Say what you want about them but at this point they're the only ones who still come up with interesting gameplay concepts among the big devs.

 

[DonF]

Nintendo put a killer show, microsoft...a great show...sony, the market leader, lol no.

 

[GymWolf]

Wow weekendGAF hitting early this week uh?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Why do we need a switch 2 exactly?

So they can finally release some new games and put the remaster machine to rest.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

The remasters are getting a bit much

 

[ResilientBanana]

The new content is good, the remasters are dull. The resolution is not amazing. Sure. These games are all fun, but it would be nice to have at least 1080p standard with a tad bit more fidelity.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Stop ruining this circle jerk thread you meanies.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

The new Zelda game and Mario party game has me intrigued but sometimes I feel like I live on a different planet when it comes to Nintendo output. Their mainline Mario/Zelda games, while still great, aren't as great as previous gens. I know marvel vs Capcom was a new announcement but counting that they showed off 3 remakes.... And not to mention their last game released was, you guessed it a remake.

I personally wish switch had more and better games on it. Nintendo always seems to be absolved from any type of blame or criticism and yet, it's been my least play Nintendo console ever. Hoping switch 2 has some bangers because I feel the total opposite OP. The last couple years, my switch has been a paper weight outside of the release of ToTK.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Game I'm most excited for from what was shown is DragonQuest 3 HD-2D which I'll play on PS5 in 4k and 60fps.

 

[nowhat]

Since so much shown was remasters/remakes... is this like an elderly beast mode?

 

[jufonuk]

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

nintendo has been in beast mode since 1882

 

[TheGodfather07]

Too many re releases. I mean, they're good games but they ain't new and Nintendo will sell them at full price. I can't really praise them for that.

 

[Deerock71]

They just need to announce a price cut already.

 

[poppabk]

The remasters are getting a bit much

Better get ready for a whole bunch of new ones for Switch 2.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Nintendo put a killer show, microsoft...a great show...sony, the market leader, lol no.

I don't see what Sony is supposed to counter exactly.

Donkey Kong and Zelda on Switch with a very specific demographic, or Xbox games that will come to Playstation as well.

As market-leader, they are in no rush whatsoever.

As for this Nintendo Direct, I don't see anything compelling. Although my gf might like the new Zelda.

 

[FalconPunch]

I swear, there's a subsection of the Nintendo fan base that are Arsenal fans. These dudes always out here overhyping the smallest things.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

That wouldn’t surprise me. GameCube era in particular

I feel the exact opposite. It's entering the final legs of life...

Some remakes and new games that use to be relegated to their handheld back in the day.

Hardly beast mode.

 

[ShirAhava]

Beast mode? This is normal the competition just sucks

 

[Tsaki]

Metroid 4 looked like ass, so yes Switch 2 was needed last year

 

[Zheph]

that kind of beast

 

[ManaByte]

Three new games, two multiplatform releases, and a mountain of shovelware is not beast mode.

 

[Dacvak]

I'm smellin' a new 3D Mario for the launch of the Switch 2. I hope it's Odyssey 2... or Galaxy 3.

Ending the console with a new Zelda and Prime 4 is an incredible swan song for the Switch, but I feel like they're saving most of their big-hitters for the Switch 2. I expect Mario Kart 9 and a 3D Mario to be launch titles, or close to it.

 

[Shut0wen]

I dont mind remasters if its never been done but yeah donkey kong took the absolute piss, 3 consoles its been out for now

 

[Dacvak]

Assuming the Switch 2 has BC (which it almost certainly will), I'm happy that DKCR is getting a rerelease. The Wii version sucks nuts because of the forced waggle, and the 3DS version is, well, a 3DS version. I'm pretty happy to add DKCR to my digital Switch collection so I can properly play it on my TV for eternity.

 

[nowhat]

so I can properly play it on my TV for eternity

...provided that you load the game and don't delete it from the console. You're assuming the Nintendo eShop for Switch (2) will stay online forever? I have some news for you.

[nowhat]

Don't worry, Nintendo will happily resell you the same games (with maybe a graphics bump, but maybe not) at full price on their current system later on.

 

[adamsapple]

I love GAF reactionary threads.

 

[Chittagong]

Are we LIVE?

 

[Robb]

When even Nintendo’s own titles have frame rate drops etc. that indicates to me that we are well overdue for a new system.

I’ll enjoy what they bring out, and I’m very happy that the Switch’s final year is looking very solid, but if I could get a “Switch 2” today, I wouldn’t hesitate for as second to move on.

 

[Dacvak]

Are we LIVE?

I don't want to be LIVE again until M Mooreberg comes back to reclaim his throne.

they dont need to counter, they just need to show something! Good thing is that both MS and nintendo had good shows, so this should force sony to show more games.

 

[recursive]

Still no Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Oracle Remakes, ports of OoT and MM 3DS Remasters or Xenoblade Chronicles X. Still pretty limp to me.

Why beg for remasters and remakes? Let's keep the new games coming.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Nintendo right now

 

[Azelover]

Nintendo entered beast mode when they set foot in the Switch generation. Will that continue in the future? I have my doubts..
