Switch The Official Nintendo Switch Thread - Part 2

[Spider-Fan]

The direct sort of sucked to me. Nothing I am interested in showcased. Sort of wish they would at least have put out Prime 2 so I could get some time to play that before Prime 4's hype train starts. But I guess we ain't getting 2 or 3 until next year either.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

That said, they did get me with that final announcement. I adore Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door much more than the N64 original and I'm glad it's coming to Switch.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I know that's a popular game, but I never played the Paper Mario series, so that was meh for me personally. Prob the most interested I was in anything was the Tomb Raider collection, but even there it's mild interest at best.

 

[Sithborg]

Rather shocked Miyamoto is letting Thousand Year Door get a new release.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

Beyond stoked we're getting such a thorough remaster (remake?) of Thousand Year Door, one of my absolute favorite games of all time, it looks gorgeous, and I cannot wait to play it again with the new graphics.

DLSS is gonna do wonders on the next Switch for sure.

I wonder if DLSS 3 will be in play for it, or if Nvidia will artificially block it like they do for 30 series and lower. That would potentially result in some pretty insane framerates not just for a handheld, but for a console in general.

That Mortal Kombat Switch version suggests new hardware is needed.

 

[Sithborg]

Or its just a bad port.

The Switch is on par with the PS3/360 as far as I know technology wise. The Switch 2 is supposed to go to PS4/X-Bone level if rumors are true.

 

[Sithborg]

Nah, it sounds like it cheats to get the visuals, but not the underlying processing power.

“To put Nintendo's incredible continuity into a bit more perspective-Super Mario Bros. (1985) was made by a team of five people, *38 years ago*. Of those five people, four of them worked on Super Mario Bros. Wonder.”

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Despite the occasional Switch 2 rumblings, I may actually and finally bite the bullet and get a Switch this holiday.

Nintendo is once again moving to destroy competitive Smash.

Finally complete. Glad one more Rainbow Road is on there.

Pauline is a welcome addition... I'd rather have Bowsette than Peachette.

 

[Sithborg]

So, having seen a few of the people I follow stream, I picked up Suika Game. It is a little $3 puzzle game that is stupidly addictive.

 

[Sithborg]

Gee, I wonder what dropped in may.

Spoiler

Yeah, that tracks.

 

[Iceman]

Some rumours out there that Hi-Fi Rush might be coming to Switch.

 

[Iceman]

Seen it in articles now (still just a rumour though).

Xbox Series X|S exclusive Hi-Fi Rush could be coming to Nintendo Switch

New rumors suggest Microsoft will bring an Xbox exclusive that was met with "high critical acclaim" to competing platforms sometime this year.

I am going to die of laughter if GameShark actually leaked the release date of the Switch 2.

What date did they say?

 

[Sithborg]

What date did they say?

September.

 

[Iceman]

September.

Are you planning to get it anytime near launch?

 

[Sithborg]

I hope I can. I just am not looking forward to trying to get it.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Switch 2 is a day one purchase. I'm dying for an official reveal. Hopefully soon.
