You know. I'm feeling pretty good about it.

I am curious of how the first year will compare to year one of the first switch.
Time will tell I suppose.

>>714039670
I need to learn what Monolith are working on.

>>714038843 (OP)
Yea yea, but the 3rd party game key cards shit is killing it for me.

>>714038843 (OP)
Why do you have a Switch 1 game in there?

>>714038843 (OP)
FUCK! I need a Switch 2 for Splatoon Raiders. Best Switch game of the year!

What's the probability of kirby air riders actually releasing this year? I'm predicting a delay to mid-2026

>>714038843 (OP)
>MKW
Was pretty meh at release, the patch put it firmly into 5/10 territory
>DK Bananza
Looks really, really good. Potential GOTY for me.
>Splatoon Raiders
Looks meh. Spin off to tide over Splatoon fans that got a Switch 2.
>Metroid Prime 4
The gameplay I saw really did not impress, but I’m sure it’ll be a 7 or 8/10

new Luigi game confirmed btw.
I hope it’s a new Luigi’s Mansion

metroid prime 4 this year

>>714041036
The gameplay wasn’t impressive or interesting

>Nobody mentions pokemon za
Its only gonna be the second best selling switch game this year after kart

>>714038843 (OP)
Metroid Prime 4 is a Switch 1 game.

>>714038843 (OP)
I just hope that it doesn't take long to get Metroid Prime 4. Realistically it should be in August, but we will have to see.

>>714041226
This might be the first one I buy since X and Y. I’m sure it’ll be dogshit but I want to give the real time combat a try

>>714038843 (OP)

When I look at Metroid Prime 4, this song always come to mind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67tKNEsJjTI

>>714041356
If you have a switch 2 you should get SV. Its better than the legends spinoffs and better than XY

>>714041586
SV looks shit though, even with the better performance something about it is off. I’ll take my chances with ZA

>>714041036
If they ever give us a fucking release date

>>714041679
Its not shit.
t. I just finished it and both dlcs on the switch 2

>>714040707
It's a crossgen game. As much an NS2 game as Twilight Princess is a Wii game.

>>714041226
I am actually pretty excited for both it and Age of Imprisonment.
I really liked Legends Arceus. For ZA though I'm really bothered by the game presumably all taking place in the city though. And I kind of hate mega evolutions. But the premise of the night time street fighting sounds fun and is exactly the kind of thing Legends Arceus was missing.

Similarly Age of Calamity is easily my favourite musou game.
But for Age of Imprisonment I really couldn't give less of a fuck about the past sages. They were nothing-characters and I'm unsure of to what degree Koei could change that even if they tried to. But being able to play as Mineru I'm very much looking forward to, and I kind of hope we get to play as some kind of hybrid-dragon Zelda at some point. And I'm sure that most of the AoC characters will return for AoI anyway.
I do hope AoI makes strongholds and allied NPCs more relevant than in AoC though. But I'm fairly hopeful for AoI in general.

>>714040779
It will release this year, especially since there's a good chance next year a new mainline game will be coming out.

My fucking SD card that I ordered in April is finally coming.

>>714039670
Switch 2 in my opinion looks just as good or slightly better than switch 1.

>Mario Kart World
Amazing, been having a blast playing it with the nso gamecube controller with all my buddies. Its been kino as fuck. (The update did fuck all)
>Donkey kong bananza
Looks fucking amazing after that direct. Potential dark horse for game of the year
>Kirby air Riders
I trust Sakurai hes a fucking icon
>Metroid prime 4
This game will be by far the most mechanically in depth game of the year with stellar level design. Barring retro isnt retarded
>Hyrule Warriors
More excited for this now cause it wont run at fucking 10 fps like the original

All this plus better third party support and game such as silksong, marvel cosmic invasion, terminator 2d no fate, ninja gaiden, shinobi etc. Seems great to me

>>714039670
I'm guessing we'll get a new Mario mainline around the holiday season, likely a November release, Nintendo will bank on that being their big holiday seller. Other guesses for franchise releases I have are (aside from Kirby where there's two games on the horizon, rest are all just mainlines):
>Kirby
Air Ride - October 2025
New mainline - Spring 2026
>Zelda
Spring 2027
>Splatoon 4
Fall 2026
>Paper Mario
Summer 2026
>Luigi's Mansion
Fall 2027
>New Mario Party
Fall 2026
>Smash
Holiday 2026

I really only care about finally playing Prime 4

I only care about Metroid Prime 4 and a hypothetical Xenoblade 4/Monoltihsoft IP desu

What are they cooking? I really want more 2d metroid

>>714048998
didn't they just reveal a blade of fire game or something

Who cares the real surprise will be which 3rd party will push the system to it's limits

>>714038843 (OP)
This is the first time in my life where I look at a row of brand new Nintendo games and feel, at most, indifference to them. I don't know what happened.

>>714041679
well, it looks like shit because it is in fact a shitty game

>>714040910
Source?

>>714046083

You actually paid for the 1tb? Shit is expensive as fuck, I'm waiting for it to go down.

>>714049758
I've been down this road with the Gamecube. I was going to just stop with video games after that, but then Nintendo made the Wii and that kept me in. I'm back in the same mode I was in during the Gamecube era except now instead of stopping with video games, I'm just going to be PC only with older and retro thrown in.

Me too. I'm only buying the next Zelda and Mario though. Maybe Kirby too.

>>714038843 (OP)
Mario Kart is Mario Kart, I got what I expected. I'm looking forward to Donkey Kong and I just really want Metroid Prime to get a fucking release date already

WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO DOWNLOAD SHIT ON THE SWITCH 2
I COULD DOWNLOAD 200 GB WORTH OF GAMES ON MY PC IN THE TIME IT TAKES TO DOWNLOAD MARIO KART HOLY SHIT

>>714038843 (OP)
Honestly I did get switch 2 for donkey kong, kirby, and mouse look metroid prime 4 (I can get metroid prime 1-3 mouse look on pc)

Nah. Fuck Nintendo and their shitty console and asshole corpo structure ruining the gaming industry. Fuckers copyright game mechanics like any of it is original. 100% dead company in 15 years

I wonder how much the pacman metroidvania will be hurt by releasing at the same time as bananza.

>>714056054
I still find it stupid that you don't actually play as Pac-Man

>>714038843 (OP)
You left out Kirby :(

>>714054358
thanks for the laugh

>>714046784
Solid line up for 2025 but what about the rest of the fiscal year? That’s what I’m wondering. They must be hiding something

>>714041149
NoA just makes shitty trailers.

>>714041036
Wonder if they’ll do a dedicated direct for it like DK

>>714056054
Had no idea it was releasing that soon. But also I don't think a better release window would help. Bamco is determined to make flops and they're very good at it.

>>714056801
God I hope so. If there's a game that needs more marketing it's Metroid.

>>714056430
I aim to please

Literally donkey kong is the ONLY game that the switch 2 has upcoming. Explain this shit.
Everything else is ports or "also coming to switch 1!" like metroid/pokemon so it's not required to have a switch 2.

Kart and Kong is all it has??? what th efuck

Im excited for GOTY

>>714054202
>mouse look

>>714057453
Kirby Air Riders and Splatoon Raiders are S2 exclusive

>>714056510
Hyrule warriors is "winter" which means probably January or February. I'm not expecting another major title reveal for this FY

>>714038843 (OP)

Seriously
Also, as a switch 2 owner, MKW kind of sucks and I really hope MP4 is the god tier game I’ve been waiting for.

FTFY

>>714058525
ARMS was great and is still to this day one the most visually impressive games on a Nintendo console.
It just needed more content (perhaps a story mode with levels and bossfights) and a player base that didn't die so quickly.

>>714038843 (OP)
Splatoon Raiders doesn't look like it's even coming this year.

>>714039670
Well that's depressing, Switch 2 has like half the games coming and Nintendo don't seem to be interested in announcing new games either.

You forgot both of picrel.

>>714059097
>duskbloods
PvPvE shit dressed like bloodborne as bait

>kirby air riders
the sequel might be good but the original isn't and is only sucked off by GC nostalgiafags

>>714046784
Don't underestimate KT's amazing ability to fuck up even the smallest thing, this game should be slam dunk for stable performance on Switch 2, but watch as they waste those resources on shit that isn't at all necessary.

>>714059097
>everyone always forgets my nigga Layton
his game is also coming out in 2025

Are there any good third party controllers for Switch 2 yes? Looking for something with sticks that won't drift and which will wake the console.

>>714059668
Gulikit supposedly has one that can wake the Switch 2.

>>714059845
I heard they announced one but didn't release one.

>>714059051
>Switch 2 has like half the games coming
That we know of.
>and Nintendo don't seem to be interested in announcing new games either
They typically announce more games though. So they'll probably do it again. And it will probably include new announcements for games releasing this very year too.

I kinda wish there was more coming out that I really want other than splatoon raiders and maybe DK, I am lucky to have never bothered buying a switch 1 so theres a ton of games I want to play but I wonder how others feel about the s2 lineup. i feel like it would be a waste of money to buy a s2 now if you had an s1

Good news, guys, you'll have a new kart racer to play once you inevitably get bored of Mario's World.

>>714041036
I remember when I was as optimistic as you. Before the dark times. Before the March Direct.

>>714059668
in general, no third party controller is going to be better than the official.

>>714039670
Damn those 6 first months were rough, and yet people act like the switch 2 is the one with no games already...

>>714062102
Weird post.

>>714041036
Doomposters will not dissuade me

>>714059051
New hype cycle is way shorter then previous gens. Expect game reveals a few months before release.
The hellish days of gen 6 and 7 where they showed a hype trailer 5 years before release dont work anymore, too much shit coming all the time

>>714062291
Yeah, like on the pro controller drifting in mario kart is automatic on third parties I need to hold a direction

>>714039670
Seems fine, especially considering Switch 2 dropped 3 months later into the year.
There's also still quite a bit of Switch 1 games coming out into next year.

Nintenigger dick riders that geek out over Jap made goyslop like you are the reason why gaming is going to shit

>>714059051
We know what games are coming until the end of this year.
2026 games will be announced in September Direct (Splatton Raiders and Duskbloods are some of them)

>>714058081
>downgrade from MK8

KEK

>>714056054
I hope so. It looks like such generic ass and it flopping will hopefully convince Namco to not do dumb shit like that with Pac-Man again.

>>714063951
Silk song is this year too. Not exclusive but still notable.

>>714063951
I doubt theres gonna be a full 3 month gap between bananza and october. Theres gotta be some filler release in there. Or at least one big dlc upgrade of a major switch2 title

Yes it is. First 6 months
>Mario Kart World
>Donkey Kong Bananza
>Pokemon Legends Z-A
>Metroid Prime 4
>Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment
>Kirby Air Riders
And that's just the first 6 months. PS5 and Xbox still don't have this many games after 5 years

>>714046784
Kill yourself.

Are you anons excited for your ONE NEW drip-fed Switch 2 game for July? Maybe you'll get another one in August! Maybe...boy that $500 console sure was worth it though! I'm sure the Mario Kart fatigue is setting in slowly, so DANKEY KANG will come and help out a bit, but what do you do when DANKEY KANG fatigue hits? Oh no...there are no more games to play till the next one drops? We just have to hope and pray that one comes out in august, I guess?

Oh great NINTENDO GODS please bless us with video games in the month of august, as we will be bored of DANKEY KANG after a week or so. Well, in the meantime I suppose you can replay the Switch 1 games that you've already played several times or enjoy the emulated services you pay for. I'm sure that $500 could have gone towards other things, but hey, we all have buyer's regret. It's too late now. You're stuck with it. You spent $500 on it, so you might as well play it. It won't do you any good to let it collect a fine layer of dust as it mocks you from across the room.

>>714038843 (OP)
I'd like to know why since mk world isn't even good

>>714065837

That doesn't work, sir.

>>714063951
You don't know that Raiders is a 2026 game.
It very well might be, but we really don't know.
Between July and December we've only got a release date for Legends ZA.
Prime 4 is due sometime. And then there is Age of Imprisonment. But do you really think Raiders is any less likely to be a holiday game than them? I think it's entirely possible.

Then again. I suppose an even more likely scenario is that they'll reveal some big game we don't even know about yet due for November or something. But I still think it's very possible that Raiders could be a 2025 game.

>>714038843 (OP)
Buy an ad.

hand crafted lighting > lazy dynamic real time lighting
HQ textures > shitty low res, low detail textures.

digital troondry continuously make excuses for dogshit games with bad art direction as long as they have the latest volumetric this and dynamic that.
but when a game blatantly looks bad and has lower quality art work no amount of listing modern rendering techniques will excuse it.

>>714038843 (OP)
Do Metroid and Splatoon even have a release date?

its better already

like, thats what people consider a good launch?

>>714067680
BotW, Splatoon, Mario, and Xenoblade all in the same year was extremely strong. Yeah.

>>714067435
Metroid has a release window of 2025 but who knows when in the year it'll actually be.
Splatoon doesn't have a release date at all though. Might be 2025, might be 2026.

>>714068005
true, for the year it is good.
but the switch 2 isnt that old, were at that month for the swtich 1 where we had nothing for a month, following one game and a port.
/v/ wants to act like the switch 2 failed, but if anything its the same if not better

>>714062393
>Damn those 6 first months were rough
I'm sorry? BOTW, MK8, and Splatoon 2 is rough? That's one game worth 200 hours and two nearly infinitely replayable multiplayer games.

>>714048228
We would know about a new mainline Mario by now if it was coming out this year.

>>714068125
>BOTW, MK8, and Splatoon 2
>Port
>Port
>Lazy sequel
Yes, it was rough.

>>714068058
>Metroid has a release window of 2025 but who knows when in the year it'll actually be.
I have a strong feeling that window ends up being pushed back to 2026. If it's going to be released within the next 6 months why can't they nail down a firm date?

>>714066123
Prime 4 is also on the Switch 1. The killer app for Switch 2 so far is DK Bananza.

>>714062291
there are dozens of third party controllers which are better than official switch 1 tho

>I can get SMT 5 Vengeance for $20USD/$30 AUD due to a sale
Is it worth it? How’s the performance on switch 2?

>>714068125
Mk8 was a failed game on wiiu and stayed a hated game untill the dlc packs yes. And botw was just a wiiu game that ran a bit better but not much, and was akward without the tablet.

>>714069409
>Prime 4 is also on the Switch 1
Nobody wants to play the objectively inferior version, Prime 4 is essentially a Switch 2 exclusive.

>>714069705
IMO it depends on how good the mouse controls are, because the switch 1 performance already seems like it's going to be fine

>>714069639
If you're a fan of SMT games there's plenty there, it's worth the price.
There's no patch but performance is much smoother on Switch 2. It was pretty uneven on Switch 1.

>>714038843 (OP)

>>714038843 (OP)
>6 major Nintendo games in 7 months
>everyone's bitching about the Switch 2 despite having a similar trajectory
I'm curious to see how things will look by the year's end. With Bananaza coming out, I doubt a new 3D Mario will release anytime soon, and if it does, it'll have to change the formula.

>>714070053
Haven’t played an SMT game but i’ve played persona 3-5 and itching for a metaphor port. What are the chances Atlus pulls through and gives us a switch 2 update?

>>714070392
It's been 8 years since the last new 3d Mario game and 4 years since the last remastered one, surely another one can't be too far away.

>>714069705
I don't care about playing Prime 4 with the joycon mouse on my leg sometimes. Prime 4 will be just fine on the regular Switch.

>>714068078
Yeah. Donkey Kong, Raiders, Prime4 and World is already a strong start.
And we have likely not seen all the year has yet.

>MKW
Its not as shit as people say it is but its pretty anemic for a launch title. If the open world had more shit in it I would let it slide
>DKB
Complete coin flip for me. Either its gonna be great or pretty bad and no in between
>Kirby AR
Is this just a racing game? I know literally nothing about it and I feel like I should have no expectations for it
>MP4
The one and only game i'm truly looking forward to. If this is genuinely good switch 2 will be worth it once its out
>Hyrule Warriors
People think the performance of this will finally be good, not realising switch 1 games are already pushing switch 2 beyond its limit. Just a few small graphical upgrades and its going to be switch 1 once again
>Splat raiders
Almost every splatoon single player thing/spin off has been pretty interesting so i'm sure it will be good, but way too long a wait to get me interested for a while

>>714071010
it took 11 years for a new mario kart game, never underestimate how slow nu nintendo can be

Odyssey looks great on Switch 2

>>714071103
I was pleasantly surprised that they added Gameshare. I hope more games use this.

>>714071051
Why do people pretend to care the throw the stupidest nonsense mid post like nobody will notice? Why is it always about bad false flags in these threads.

>>714046784
holy tendie

Why are people pretending that anyone played Wii U games?
Wii U ports on Switch 1 were new games to 99% of people

>>714071103
looks a lot better on emulator.

>>714071212
newfag, /v/ was a wii u board

>tendies count multiplats as games when they’re Nintendo games
>tendies count a fucking dynasty warriors game as something notable because it has Zelda in the title
>tendies don’t count multiplats for Sony and MS
lol
Lmao

>>714071707
>multiplats
What do you mean? You mean Metroid Prime? It's a cross-gen release not so much a regular multiplat title.
Also if you discount cross-gen releases then over 99% of the Playstation library is instantly disqualified. Probably true for Xbox too.

>>714071985
All I’m saying is that tendies don’t count crossgen games or multiplats as games for the other platforms but when it comes to Nintendo games that suddenly isn’t a factor.

Never understood why Nintendo fans here and on reddit likes to brag about how much more exclusive games are already planned for switch 2. Half the planned exclusive release for this year is ass anyway. I’ve always seen a playstation 4/5 as a way for poorfags to play multiplatform games, the exclusives are just a plus. BOTW>MKW and I do not care if MKW sells 100 million copies, it is a shit launch title.

>>714072302
This wasn't a thing before the Switch btw.

>>714072483
>the exclusives are just a plus
You've got it completely fucking backwards though.
Why do you choose one platform over another? The exclusives. Because they're the only games that gives your choice of platform any strength over another. And what actually expands your potential library of games available to play.

You can already play multiplats. So what reason is there to get a new system? Exclusives.

>>714072302
I don't care about other platforms.
If MP4 and Pokemon Z-A don't count for Switch 2, then BotW doesn't count for Switch either

>>714072638
If that’s the case then the Xbox and PlayStation have a ton of games the switch 2 can’t play. But lemme guess, those also don’t count?

>>714072483
By that logic you might as well play games on fucking xbox. The zero exclusives ever system.
Why would you ever do that? Fucking Americans. You're retarded.

>>714071040
Lmao, can't wait for Switch 1 niggers to cry about the FPS dips and the lack of high quality textures.

>>714072638
It's really funny. Everyone knew 20 years ago what "PS3 has no games" meant. It meant it had no exclusives.
But now suddenly they don't understand.

>>714072747
Yes, those games can be played on either Xbox, PS, or PC. They aren't a selling point for either od them.

>>714072880
20 years later the switch 2 has no games so we need to change up what does and doesn’t count.

>>714072747
>If that’s the case then the Xbox and PlayStation have a ton of games the switch 2 can’t play.
Yes? Everyone knows this, no?
But they're also coincidentally games that you don't need an Xbox or a Playstation to play either. And you ignore this why?

You get a Switch to play the games exclusive to it as well as to get another option for handheld play.
You don't get a Switch to play the games that aren't on it. Which are many. You do it for the games that are exclusive to it. Which are also many.

But why get an Xbox or a Playstaiton? They've got games the Switch doesn't have yes, but you don't need an Xbox or a Playstation to play those games.

>>714072863
My brother in Christ, nintendo fans are defending games getting sub 25 fps and think it’s fine, do you seriously think they’re going to cry about low quality textures?

>>714073026
>the switch 2 has no games
Why are you being deliberately retarded?
The OP image alone visually showed you several. And the thread since then has mentioned many others.
And you're going to pretend like it's comparable to the PS3 launch?

>>714073089
Don’t forget that these same drones are laying $20 for fps patches lmao

>>714069409
The last metroid game on switch was unplayable 20 fps garbage.

>>714073262
false

>>714073262
both dread and prime remastered were 60fps. what are you talking about?

>>714072880
Nta. PS3 exclusives are superior in that generation to nintendo and xbox though? The last of us, God of war 3, infamous 1 and 2, demon souls, heavy rain, uncharted series, metal gear solid 4. Tales of graces f, It was only inferior to multiplat games due to cell architecture

>>714050071
He paid for a 1tb LEXAR drive. Literally the worst brand name you could buy. Might as well buy chink shit instead like ADATA.

>>714072638
The reason is a stronger switch with a bigger screen being the ultimate handheld for me.
>b-but muh tech autist said screen bad
Not in my experience

>>714073063
Because not everyone spends $1-2k on a pc, they just get an xbox/playstation. Pc gaming wasn’t even a thing in Japan until 2-3 years ago and is still considered a niche.

>>714073330
Not in handheld.

>Performance is also solid overall. During gameplay, Metroid Dread aims to deliver a smooth 60 frames per second experience ... During my experience with the game, Metroid Dread hit its target at nearly all times and it's remarkably stable to the point where it feels as if the rendering is effortless .... This entire performance profile is also true of portable mode, which essentially runs like docked mode, albeit at 720p resolution instead.

>Performance is very straightforward, which is a good thing. I didn't spot any noticeable frame-rate dips across my testing, with a locked 60fps throughout in both docked and portable modes.

>>714073163
Good job omitting the part where they literally come with new DLC content, retard.

Tendies everyone

>>714040779
if it wasn't going to release this year, they wouldn't have announced it was going to release this year. the announcement was intentionally vague and lacked a release date simply because they don't want it to keep you from buying other switch 2 games. it will probably be a winter release after kirby in late summer and metroid in fall.

>>714073571
Even if they don't have a PC, it doesn't change how a Playstation completely invalidates an Xbox and an Xbox completely invalidates a Playstation. If you don't have exclusives. Because the exclusives fucking matter.

>>714049123
they gave astro bot GOTY even though it's for young kids and no one actually played it, so i think donkey kong has good odds if the same people are judging.

>>714074510
It’s not winning against Expedition 33, which is the real goty, or Death Stranding 2, which is the equivalent of an oscar bait movie.

>>714057453
>Everything else is ports or "also coming to switch 1!" like metroid/pokemon so it's not required to have a switch 2.
this might be hard for you to grasp so put on your thinking cap...
normal people do not emulate switch games. their options for playing a game on switch and switch 2 is to play it on a switch or a switch 2. the switch 2 is obviously significantly less of a turd and will run every cross gen game drastically better, so they want to play these new games on the switch 2.
people are treating them as if they are switch 2 exclusives because you would need to be a poorfag without a switch 2 to seriously consider playing them on the switch 1.
hope that helps.

>>714059606
level-5 is pretty damn bad at releasing games on schedule, i wouldn't put down money on it.

>>714038843 (OP)
it's ok, but they really need to show 10 games to build enough momentum to make the switch a must have system

but since stores have trouble getting switch2s in stock, it's ok for now...

>>714074369
I'll pay $20 to have that voice actor killed so I never hear that broads voice again.
they should be paying me to have to listen to that cunts garbage voice acting.

>>714075074
They’re safe until christmas imo. I won’t be surprised if the recent success will make them too confident and drip feed the games slower next year

>>714072880
I've also noticed this, it's grim

>Mario Vroom Vroom
Great game despite controversy. The way they handle the intermission and 3lap thing is really retarded, but they'll be milking this shit for the console's lifetime and probably the next's too. I wanna see where it goes.
>Monke Kong Banana
I want it. Looks like it would be able to contend for GOTY if Exp33 didn't exist to mog the entire industry.
>Splatoon Raiders
My GF wants it. I don't like the series at all but if it's to spend time with her.
>Metroid Prime 4
Trailers kinda look average? I can't say it looks bad but I don't really care from what I've seen.

>>714073338
The PS3 had great exclusives. Such as
Folklore.
2nd SRW OG.
Demon's Souls.
Dragon's Crown.
The Guided Fate Paradox.
Katamari Forever.
Puppeteer.
Disgaea D2.
and tons of other games.

And then there are all the games such as Ni no Kuni or whatever that were exclusive for the entirety of the PS3's life cycle.
Half the games you listed are fucking disgusting though. But no matter the case. You should check the release dates of all the games, be it the ones you listed or the ones I listed.
The no games meme is and was warranted.

>>714039670
There's no way Switch 2 can match the first Switch year. Nintendo threw their hands in the air and gave up on the Wii U, quickly moving all their stuff towards a new console launch. What Nintendo can do to maintain their momentum is to announce a new game with an update to a previous IP.

IE they announce Luigi's Mansion 4 and announce 4K 60FPS patch to Luigi's Mansion 3. The Xenoblade games, like 2 and X, should already have a 4K 60FPS patch.

>>714076128
>There's no way Switch 2 can match the first Switch year. Nintendo threw their hands in the air and gave up on the Wii U, quickly moving all their stuff towards a new console launch.
This is such an odd sentiment to me. Panic launching a new console with mostly ports is a great year, but delaying a console for years and years so you can have something at launch isn't?
What I find actually surprising is that the Switch 2 is so late and they still didn't have much to put on it.

>>714038843 (OP)
Ive put mine down for a while to emulate FFX but Im still very happy with it. On the fence about bananza, but still want to play cyberpunk on it, plus the with bigger screen I can finally read furigana in portable mode without getting a headache.

>>714040434
I dont even need a new game from them, just announce franchise-wide 1080/60 patches for the Xeno games

>>714075895
i'm worried they'll do no support at all and MK9 will be late 2026

>>714070156
hey but it might hit 30fps this time. Honestly arceus catching was pretty kino, as long as game freak doesnt game freak too hard this one should be fun too

>>714076476
>but delaying a console for years and years so you can have something at launch isn't?
people move to another console or PC while you expect them to wait around and be loyal

>>714075196
they probably have something new for christmas, and I think they'll show it in september

really wish they'd show us what all the dev teams have been cooking the past 2-3 years

>>714076865
>they probably have something new for christmas
I bet Monolith has been working on something amazing.

>>714078376
imagine what they can do now that the switch 2 is on ps4 level

this combo (or any light character) >>>>>>>>> all

and it's the cutest

>>714076476
Switch 2 wasn't delayed for years

>>714078436
Hopefully they are inline with what else we are getting from the Switch 2, I want 60fps as the new standard and for games to push more interesting finer detail features like improved water and grass, or large crowds, Mario Kart World already shows it, those crowds are fully 3d.

>I'm feeling pretty good about it.

2 games

>>714083147
it seems like it is, since you're confused about the world you live in when it's obvious to everyone else. best of luck.

>>714083247
I don't buy a console so "the world I live in" can play it. I buy it so I can play it. I'm not buying a fucking console for 2 games and a shit stream of emulatable switch 1 games, retard.

AKA: your console has no point

>>714083147
Your whole argument just fall down with that comment. Go be a schizo somewhere else.

>>714083356
you asked for an explanation and got one. not sure why you're having a melty. drink some warm tea maybe. best of luck.

>>714081764
Bananza is easily the game I am by far the most interested in. But I'm still fairly interested in all of Bananza, Shadow Labyrinth, Word Play, and He is Coming.
And they ALL release at the same time!

Bananza -> The 17th
Shadow Labyrinth -> The 17th
He is Coming -> The 17th
Word Play -> The 14th

What the fuck?

>>714084539
damn I totally didn’t realize that lmao. but August releasing is pretty empty right now. We will have enough time to play through those games until the next big drop.
Hopefully we will get a direct in July

Direct this week?

>>714086731

At this point its really obvious its just the same games over and over again. At least with the switch we were coming off the wii u which was coming off the wii so gc nostalgia babies had a lot of "new entry" begging to do. With the switch having the best selling iteration of every franchise and furukawa refusing to push the envelope everything nintendo does just looks stale.

>>714069680
MK8 was the best selling Wii U game and sold gorillions on the Switch as well. In fact, MK8D outsold BotW and TotK combined. It outsold Smash, Animal Crossing, Mario Odyssey, and every other Switch game. And that was BEFORE the DLC.

>>714089006
>furukawa refusing to push the envelope
Oh hush, now run along to your Mario Kart World thread so you can complain that it was a bad idea and a waste to make the tracks share a seamless interconnected world.

>>714089079
Why would paid dlc boost sales? Wouldn't a game having dlc make people less likely to buy it, since they have to pay more than full price for the full experience?

>>714087772
>that pic
I had a feeling something was off. you just saved me 90 CAD + tax + tip anon.

>>714041036
It's the only game I'm looking forward to from Nintendo this year and it's on the Switch I already own. I wonder if it'll top Xenoblade X and E33 to earn my personal GOTY.

I really don't understand the fps metroid appeal?

>>714041226
Pokemon hasn't been good since 2012.

t. longtime Pokemon fan who desperately wants to like the series

>>714063074
Whats wrong with that? I never understood these add riddled gamers who can't keep something in the back of their mind. Even as a kid I could tolerate waiting years for a game its not like knowing one is coming beforehand means you can't play other shit out in the meantime. And there were way more big releases back then now its mostly just indie shit.

>>714089079
No it wasnt before the dlc.stop this revisionist bullshit it shows.

>>714068125
ugh imagine wasting your life on these

>>714089661

MK8 was and has been the best selling Switch game since 2018.

>>714089481
Yeah, I'm confused by you not understanding the appeal as well

>>714041149
it's just more metroid prime if you didn't like the previous games then you will not like this one.

>>714076476
Just goes to show what they've got cookin. The new mario and smash will be immaculate.

>>714089661
NTA, but this is extremely easy to verify.

>>714089481
It’s a unique Metroid title that at least the first two were immersive, engaging, filled with secrets, and for the first time included lore and an encyclopedia, it has that item required to solve puzzle flow that new Zelda games have completely abandoned, and the 3D designs blew your mind compared to what we were used to.

>>714088819
What is the name for this type of person? You always see it on /v/. There so inauthentic.

>>714089239
Bro mkw has been in development since the beginning of the switch, planning stage even earlier. At least shut up if you don't know what you're talking about.

>>714042225
Anon be real, I’m replaying it right now, and the shadows are still garbage, the skybox still cycles between night and day in a funny way during some cutscenes, articles of clothing and bags sometimes disappear and reappear immediately, there’s still loads of pop in, albeit from a longer distance now, and no graphical patch can improve the stale and delayed animations of character models in the overworld. I’ll admit that battling is much better now, slowpoke doesn’t have dodecagon eyeballs before snapping into circles once the battle starts and there are no frame issues (usually)

>>714089481
They tried tps but it didn't work so now they're going back. Even though it was all a coincidence.

>>714092708
Age of Imprisonment isn't a crossgen title. Switch2 exclusive.
And considering of much Age of Calamity struggled, understandable. Though honestly I'm expecting Age of Imprisonment to struggle too, but we'll see.

It'd kind of Koei Tecmo's style to just push their musou games furhter whenever they get access to stronger hardware. Not always, but most of the time.

>>714048998
Didn't they just have like a massive loss of talent and replaced it all with DEI hires like a year or two after Dread came out or something like that?

>>714092708
I ain't playing Prime 4 on a switch 1, faggot.

>>714096057
me neither I'm playing on a PC :)

>>714093862
That's tragic. Dread was great and Metroid 6 could have been so good.

>>714038843 (OP)
I'll buy a Switch 2 when they announce a new Fire Emblem or a new Xenoblade

>>714039670
Looking at this
>Breath of the Wild - also on Wii U
>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - enhanced port
>Pokkén Tournament DX - enhanced port of a port
>Fire Emblem Warriors - also on the New 3DS
>Bayonetta - port of a port
>Bayonetta 2 - port
>Dragon Quest Builders - multiplat

Splatoon 2, Odyssey, and Xenoblade 2 were the biggest truly original releases, no matter how many people want to pretend BotW was an exclusive.

>>714073262
Prime remaster is not only the best looking game on the system (until prime 4 comes out) but also runs at a solid 60fps, you're a retard

>>714089481
Prime games are the only true 3D metroidvanias. They also didn't abandon the exploration this series was built on like the modern 2D metroid games.

>>714074510
nah it’ll be E33. Would cause an outrage if they picked anything else

>>714068058
>who knows when in the year it'll actually be
Or if it'll even make it this year. I'm really hoping they get off their asses and lock in more release dates after Bananza comes out, but knowing my luck, we'll get another Development Update video saying Prime 4's delayed (and in effect, basically being sent out to die against GTA6)

>>714063951

Crazy to believe it's actually happening. With mouse controls too?

I've wondered about the name recently. Do you think the actual Metroid Prime will just be a passing scan mention or something? Feels like it just being mentioned in a Fed computer is about all you can do with it, and that the game is likely just called Metroid Prime as a subseries now, which is fine.

where can I get splatoon 3 for a decent price?

>>714110765
Game world.

>>714110765
Look through physical retail stores, including mom & pop shops.
Physical retailers will often sell old inventory just to clear up inventory space. Be it because they bought too much inventory or bought it too late or whatever, whatever.
Now Splatoon 3 is a fairly popular game and the NS2 has boosted its sales to a degree. But it is years old already. So some physical stores ought to sell it for cheap.
Otherwise your best bet is to buy it digitally from the eshop itself after it gets a 40% discount around Christmas or something.

Is the next Monolith game a Xenoblade game or something new?
I'd love either to be fair. But what's more likely?

>>714103272
It's not dead whatsoever though?

>>714114223
Someone from Monolith said a couple of years ago that Nintendo won’t greenlight anything else unless it’s Xenoblade. I think we’ll get XC4 as their next game.

Can't go wrong with either, it just depends on whether you like linear or open-ended experiences better. Both games are great at what they're trying to achieve.

You can just turn on notifications so you get buzzed when an announcement goes live like a new direct

>>714120263
No, the only thing right now is rumor mills about how the B and C team are working on something. In any case, XC1, 2 and 3 need more then just a patch to take advantage of the Switch 2's higher specs. X just needs them to add in the code to turn on 60 fps. I wouldn't be shocked if we get announcements for 1, 2 and 3 as Switch 2 versions. 2 needs it the most considering it still goes down to 320p for handheld mode.

>>714038843 (OP)
what are the chances nintendo will fuckoff with key carts?
that's the only thing stopping me from buying like 10 switch 2 games currently in my cart on play asia

>>714132467
Once the bigger cartridges are cheaper for the third party guys so give or take 3 years.

>>714132467
Eventually i’m sure. The reason they’re doing what they’re doing is cause of the new tech they’re using for the new carts, which is why they’re as pricey as they are. Overtime once the price of the tech goes down and/or more cartridge size options are available then 3rd devs will be able to put the whole game on the cartridge more feasibly. Hell some may even rerelease games physically with the full game on the carts once they can

>>714132467
>3rd party sales for key cards are very low
>they're complaining to nintendo about low sales
>but they don't want to pay for the $15 cartridge
>at the economy of scale the costs of the cartridges will eventually go down
>then nintendo will eat the cost of the cartridges for the 3rd parties as a sign of goodwill
>but the games that launched too early on the switch 2 will never get a proper release

>>714122482
September direct most likely. I could see them announced all at once and if Monolith soft were based, they would do a "Xenoblade Switch 2 collection" upgrade pack for 15 bucks if you wanted to get all of them. If they do it though, I doubt it will simply be just the games but to Switch 2 specs. There will be something else, because Monolith soft seems to love to add things that they feel like they missed or weren't able to do when they have an excuse to work on it again. Fucking perfectionists.
>>714132467
0% The only reason they made it was because they wanted an option for devs to have a means of taking up physical space on the shelf. Without the ability to make lower sized carts for the new format, this was the only cost saving measure they could think of. Otherwise they would have to tell third parties it was digital only if they didn't want to pay the premium price for the 64gig cart. Blame third parties for being fucking cheap skates. Nintendo's only fault is that they couldn't get a 16gig cart and is instead limited to a 7gig cart that is still more expensive then just getting a key cart. For reference, the 64gig cart is 16 USD per. Fucking ONE is 16 bucks to manufacture. Can you believe that shit?

>>714132697
>Rerelease the game
HAHAHAHA
What? No, they aren't going to do that. By the time the format has established itself, they will already be working on other titles. Which probably still won't sell. Third parties forget what actually makes their games sell and they provided us with literal garbage or rereleases from the fucking DS era. They aren't getting anything if they can't pony up NEW and you can bet your sweet ass that companies like Capcom or SE are still going with Key Cart, because cheapest option for manufactoring will beat out any concern about people not picking up the game because of a lack of true physical. The majority of people (60-75%) are digital sales on the Switch and the trend will continue for Switch 2. People hate carrying around carts or getting up out of their chair to switch the game. Game carts exist as advertisement on store shelves, nothing more.

>Xc3 noah and mio as blades in 2
>More classes for 3, maybe even a kosmos class
>Flesh out rex and shulk in xc3 base game
Would be willing to spend for an upgrade pack if there is actual content included

>>714040875
Played the demo for about 10 mins, I had a fun time smashing everything. GotY obviously

>>714118398
>MP4
>Z/A
Those aren't exclusives, they are on Switch 1.

>>714046784
HW doesn't run at anything below 60FPS now

>>714133349
>Because Mio is also a Twin Ring Blade, they rebalance the entire weapon set to make it better. Dromarch gets a Blade Quest to redo his Blade Chart to make him end game viable
>Noah gets suck with Hammer animations, like the Monado. Which makes them redo a lot of the Hammer Blades to make them better
>3 gets a total class rebalance, removing a bunch of stupid shit like "bleed" for the archer. Lots of stuff gets nerfed, like the arts regen from Miyabi
>Rex and Shulk give actual classes and not just be there as heroes.

>>714133726
The first Hyrule Warriors, but Age of Calamity was made to cap at 30. I'm sure it could run faster if they uncapped it though and they might do a Switch 2 edition when Age of Imprisonment gets it's release date. I'm hoping that Age of Imprisonment is set to 60, the Switch 2 can handle it.

>>714039670
Switch 2 had all these day 1

>>714050071
It won't go down anytime soon.

Are you going to get any 3rd party games this month?

>>714136829
Everyone and their fucking mom tells me how great papaton is so i’m gonna check that out

>>714136829
I'll probably get shadow labyrinth

>>714136829
PON PON PATA PON
nothing else though, that and DK will be plenty to play for July

>>714038843 (OP)
I will never for the life of me understand the popularity of Splatoon. Hideous aesthetics and repetitive, boring gameplay.

>>714137106
Pedophiles unironically

>>714070053
>It was pretty uneven on Switch 1.
Pretty uneven is being very generous. I played through it and I don't think it ever hit 30fps. It was usually around 20-25

>>714137139
I kind of got that hint back when they had a trailer with the squid thing walking in slow motion in a skirt and it zoomed in on her misshapen ass. Bizarre.

>>714137106
Kids.

>>714038843 (OP)
I'm excited for Bananza and a couple of Switch 1 games that are coming out this year.

>>714137139
>>714137337
>>714137357
Bit like the Sonic community honestly.

>>714136829

Maybe Patapon, maybe Wild Hearts S if there's any kind of significant improvement and it revives the online. I just like whacking monsters with my umbrella like a British nanny.

>>714137413
These or 3rd party?

>>714038843 (OP)

Wow, look at that. Actual EXCLUSIVES.

>>714046784
>Potential dark horse for game of the year

>>714136829
>Donkey Kong Bananza
>Ninja Gaiden Ragebound
>Patapon Replay

It's gonna be a fun month.

>>714132916
>Blame third parties for being fucking cheap skates
You dumb fucking niggers had an aneurysm over 1st party games going up $10, you think 3rd party should pay jewtendo $15 for a cartridge for their $20-40 game? They'd have to sell for $50-60 to keep reasonable profits.

>>714133219
>nooooo no one actually wants physical!
LRG's entire existence proves you're a brainless faggot. People drop $100+ on older physical releases when they're like $10 for digital.

>>714129380
no more warioware, we have enough of those. what we need is a new wario land and remaster shake it too.

>>714140692
>remaster shake it too
The issue with shake it was the bland level design. If you wanna fix it you’d have to redo all the levels, and at that point you’re better off making a new game. Besides at least style-wise shake-it was gorgeous, if they remade it they’d go with something far less sovlful

>Won’t get a direct until the 22nd at the earliest
Jfc…

>>714142553
Aren't there enough games announced? Or do you want a partner/indie direct?

>>714143101
Really. They've announced enough games to fill the time from now until the holiday season, we need actual releases.

>>714039670
Give us a FE Echoes Duology for 4 & 5 and make 5 not ass to play and I will be the number 1 warrior

>>714143101
We really need a switch 2 update direct, lots of 1st party switch games need em bad

>>714039670
I still can't believe how much Nintendo was holding up the Switch on their own during the first couple of years. Third parties had so little faith in the Switch that Nintendo had to go out of their way to publish some of their games themselves, like you can see Dragon Quest Builders in that image but there was also Builders 2, TWEWY 1, and DQ11S (all happen to be Square Enix by the way). Hopefully all the astroturfing going on by western game journalists (who didn't get any early access or exclusive coverage) doesn't cause publishers to make the same mistake twice, because the Switch 1 has proven that audience actually buys games for it.

>>714146489
>all happen to be Square Enix by the way
This isn't really new with the Switch. Nintendo had to be the one to publish Square Enix's games on their platforms to the west since the fucking GBA. It's almost necessary because Square Enix half-asses the marketing for any of their games that aren't their biggest budget blockbusters. You can immediately tell when you compare how much exposure a Square Enix game that launches as a Nintendo exclusive gets, and compare to when a game is multi-platform.

Do you remember how the marketing went for Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy or even the 3DS Bravely Default games? Of course you do. Do you remember how their marketing went for The Diofield Chronicle, NEO: The World Ends With You, or Valkyrie Elysium?

>>714142553
Its weird how people act like the system is old and not barely 3 weeks old.

It's gonna be amazing.

>>714046784
>This game will be by far the most mechanically in depth game of the year with stellar level design

>>714098578
They should port Awakening and Fates to Switch 2

>>714038843 (OP)
it must suck being a console owner these days, all the 3rd party games are not physical you gotta buy that shit, you cant play the console without the fucking internet shit must suck dick

>>714148690
yeah sucks... at least you don't have to pay $2500 for an initial cost lol

>>714148690
>you cant play the console without the fucking internet shit must suck dick

If you don't have internet then video games are the least of your fucking problems.

>>714148783
>buy 5700x3d bundle with a used 3080 for around 600 bucks which is cheaper than a switch 2
Faggot retard lol

>>714118546
dong and pokemon are $70
>>714129461
ESL? "a piece" means one unit of something, yes.

>>714149003
>used
lol enjoy your ancient relic cryptomined to shit
>*buys used switch 2 for $400*

>>714149003
>just buy 2nd hand PC parts.

The absolute fucking state. I'll never sit at a desk to play video games because I'm not a mentally ill virgin who lives with his parents.

>>714149062
>put a new cooler and replaced the thermal paste
Wow so hard, fucking console retards, also you can buy a 9060 xt for dirt cheap anyway and a switch 2 is not 400 bucks lying faggot

>>714039670
God I remember how dry that first year was
All the years really.

I had a Wii U so the only game on it was zelda, then nothing till June when I actually fucking bought ARMS

I didn't even have a steam deck at that point so I just went back to my 3DS

>>714149127
So you'll play on your couch in front of a TV instead? The fuck does this dumb shit even mean

why this pc vegan tranny always in switch 2 threads? make a pc gaming thread sis

>>714149305
>you'll play on your couch in front of a TV instead

But you're not, are you?

>>714149352
>poopy diaper tendie pedo
Nah I'm good

>>714149403
Seething every day. 16 days till Donkey Kong, which you will never get to play XDD

>>714149440
Oh no, anyway...

>>714149205
>9060 xt for dirt cheap anyway
If only you only needed 1 part for a PC
Sidenote I really should upgrade my 6600xt at some point

>>714149523
If you have a microcenter they routinely bundle cpus, mobos and ram together, all the other shit you should just be reusing. I've had the same psu, keyboard, mouse, monitor etc for over a decade

>>714149463
Have fun living in Donkey Kong threads farting blood. I will be there, gloating.

>>714139810
NTA. the vast majority of LRG's customers are collectors who never open or play their games and they've repeatedly printed unplayable games that went unnoticed for months because of it.
retards who buy video games as an investment buying a limited edition reprint of the three stooges for GBA is not strong evidence of mainstream demand for physical games.

>>714038843 (OP)
mario kart world tour is ass. lets predict what will make the other 3 ass

donkey kong, smashing shit gets boring quick
splatoon 4, nintendo fucks up the online again
metroid prime 4, in development for 8 years, everything will be wring with it

>>714148927
thats not the point and you know it, its about ownership, the whole point of consoles back in the day is physical ownership you can play whenever you want no loopholes of needing internet, needing to download shit to play your game, you as console players are being fucked over right now

>>714148783
its not that much, its 2000 for a PC that will kill any console out and will be good for the next 8 years easy, i mean how much are playstations and xbox's nowadays anyway? last time i checked that shit is 6-800 each not including the internet you pay for it ontop of that plus the games you need the internet to play all that shit sucks

>>714150715
You can build a PC that shits all over any console for way less than 2000 dollars bro

>>714150880
most people cant build PCs, i can get a prebuilt 9800x3d amd cpu and rtx5070 for 2k

>>714150715
>its about ownership
I still own my digital games on the Switch console (just like with the Vita back then), even after the storefront eventually closes down as that only stops buying more shit.
What's up with you outrage-addicted people parroting words and topics you have little grasp about?

And there is zero incentive for me to spend money again on a gaming PC unlike decades ago, since all the games I care about these days is on Switch (and soon Switch 2 too) and I prefer the dumb-easy convenience of the consoles.

>>714148471
GODkey kong WON

>>714152935
>What's up with you outrage-addicted people parroting words and topics you have little grasp about?
is this the cope you fags come up with "OUTRAGE!" im not mad i play on PC im just saying to you console fags that the whole point of consoles has been removed since you dont own the game physically and you copy what happens on PC however you go through more bullshit with less freedom there is zero point in owning a console if you are just going to go digital and or buying a piece of plastic to have something digital that can be removed if your console bricks, on PC this is not the case

FOUR GAMES
I DON'T KNOW WHY

>>714153565
>Switch 2: 4 games in 6 months
>The competition: 0 games in 5 years

>>714153164
I mean yeah that's technically a tantrum and a big fake outrage you're throwing out there.
And I'm an ex-PC user who doesn't see much the point of gaming PCs anymore as they no longer have games of my interests, let alone the troubleshooting worth the hassle.
Whereas on a console like the Switch ones, I actually get more vidya while the hybrid console is braindead easy to use and versatile. Which is the whole point of consoles: being convenient and focusing on playing games.

>>714153565
Those aren't the only games of the year. Also. Four games is already better than what the competition has got.

>>714153858
whatever fag keep coping you are literally the own nothing and be happy mindraped

>>714136829
I'm getting Shadow Labyrinth. It's a bit annoying how it releases the same day as Donkey Kong though.
But I suppose swapping back and forth might be good for a change of pace every now and then.

>>714153565
IT STARTS
WITH
ONE MEME
I DON'T KNOW WHY
NO CREATIVITY SO I STEAL FROM THOSE GUYS
KEEP THAT IN MIND WHILE I STEAL THIS RHYME
I AM JUST A SNOY I JUST MAKE PORTS

>>714057710
what's the big holiday title you think

>>714155661
I dunno why you keep projecting, digital games you legitimately purchased don't magically disappear regardless of the platform. It's only a problem with subscription services or multiplayer-focused titles. Again it sounds like you're just parroting opinions from others on the internet without actually understanding the meaning of words.

Actually Switch 2 GOTY already released but EOPs will never get to enjoy it

>>714156445
Whatever monolith is working on

>>714158926
Monolith are a great studio and Xeno games sell alright, but it’s not exactly a system seller or holiday title that would normally be relegated to a big Pokemon, Mario, or Zelda game, something that would sell a ton

>>714159189
Their weights are off
They have actual hardware now

>>714159189
>>714159442
Yeah I'm expecting something great from them in 2026 or so. It'll have been 4 years since XBC3 so I'm sure they're cooking.

>>714159189
I'm hoping for their new IP action RPG

>>714153565
>drag x drive
FIVE GAMES
I DON’T KN-
>kirby air riders
SIX GAMES
I-
>pokemon legends: z-a
SEVEN GA-

people will bitch about <current stuff> while lionizing <last gen> despite it being demonstrably as bad or worse.
people have short memories, and time is a flat circle

>>714068125
If we're gonna count multiplats like botw then
>Mario Kart World
>Donkey Kong Bananza
>Metroid Prime 4 (likely September)
>Pokémon Legends ZA
Switch 2 has a way better first 6 months.

>>714153164
the point of playing a game on a nintendo console is to play nintendo games. most nintendo games are regular game cards, not key cards.
i never stopped being a tendie even after becoming a pcfag. once upon a time, when japan studio was publishing games like ico, gravity rush, and bloodborne, you could buy a playstation for good sony games too.

>>714153565
it's gonna be so funny when someone updates this when the switch 2 has like 10+ games within the next 8-12 months
