DO NOT enter this thread if you don't own a switch 2. Have you finished DK yet? Still getting online races in on MKW? What else are you playing on the new hardware? Expectations for the rumored direct?

>Have you finished DK yet?
no

no, I just play 8 online now lol

World of Goo 2

Kirby Air Riders trailer

Faggot.

>I just play 8 online now
How does it feel to play after playing World?

>>716331069 (OP)
What if you had a switch 2 but returned it because it uses 20 year old LCD tech?

the pic that destroyed the switch 2

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Don't even have it nor want it.
> Still getting online races in on MKW?
Don't want bingslop Burnout Paradise either.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Fast Fusion, Bravely Default, running around in Pokemon and finishing my backlog of JRPGs leftover from my Switch 1 while I wait for Xenoblade patches.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
Xenoblade patches or upgrades, more backwards compat patches in general would be nice (Unicorn Overlord, Metroid, PLA), anything from MonolithSoft utilizing the new hardware, a new F-Zero as always and literally anything that isn't Mario or Zelda related would be appreciated.

>>716332605
lol, no you didn't
>>716332820
ZOMG OLED LOOKS CLEARER THAN LCD NO FUCKING WAY

>>716332605
>>716332820
rent free

>Have you finished DK yet?
Didn't buy it. Nothing against it, I sincerely think it looks great. It's just not what I'm after right now. The thought of another big open "find stuff on your own" kind of game when I have three others on the backlog that I want to get to isn't enticing.
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
I had connection issues a bunch last I played but no idea if that was just me.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Doing the Wo-Chien raids in Pokemon Violet. It's nice getting to play this without it running like dogshit.
Also playing Metroid Prime Remastered, it's fun as fuck. Just got the Wave Beam.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
More GC releases, a date for Kirby and Metroid and maybe one more thing for the Winter period.

>Have you finished DK yet?
No I'm too busy digging mindlessly like an autist
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
I'm so fucking bored of it already, I don't even know what I could ask for in another Mario Kart but it isn't this.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Disgaea, going to see if Marvel UA3 plays better.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
More fucking retro games for the retarded online service.

>>716332605
>>716332820
When the inevitable model update drops it's gonna be hard for me to not at least consider trading my launch model in for one. The screen compared to my Deck is just night and day but I can live with it to a degree because I can just play docked but what really gets my goat about the Switch 2 is the battery is abysmal so even if I want to play handheld and can deal with the low quality screen used I still have a worse battery life than my Deck too. I know eventually there will be games on this thing I'm gonna want to play but this launch has been rough for anyone who doesn't care about Mario or DK.

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Not yet. I've been grinding for maps. Fantastic game.
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
Bananza has been stealing my time, so no MKW.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Just testing out other Switch games. Scarlet running at 60fps is still wild to me. Bakeru at 60fps is also cool. Not much else, really.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
I thought there was going to be a third-party direct in July, but with the Pokémon Direct showing nothing we'll have to wait a little more to see what Nintendo's doing in the later half of the year. As far as 3rd party predictions go
>Monster Hunter Worlds
>Persona 3R
>Metaphor
>Digimon Time Survivors
>Expedition 33
As for 1st party
>Metroid Prime 4 for late October
>Kirby Air Riders for early November
>more info on Daemon X Machina
>Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment for mid to late November
>more Level 5 focus
>Fantasy Life i DLC
>Professor Layton and The New World of Steam info
>return of an old franchise Star Fox
>or a new franchise that uses mouse controls

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Nah I backlogged it since I have too many games to get through and I want to focus on Wu Chang soon.
>Still getting Online races on MKW?
I play one race every so often online and then I go back to the games I'm playing. Usually stick to /v/eekends when I want to play with fellow anons.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Bayonetta 3, Astral Chain, Spark the Electic Jester 3, Pennys Big Breakaway, Cyberpunk bombrush, prince of persia and the list goes on. It's kind of unreal that so many games are smooth at a solid 60 even without patches.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
Patch for all the Xenoblade games to run at a locked 60 fps with 1080p resolution at the very least.

>>716331069 (OP)
I dont have MKW nor DKB because im not paying 90$ for them here in my country.

Right now im trying to 100% the hidden gem on the switch 1 that is DC Super Girls with the switch 2 i got gifted.

Japanese devs really know how to make good western capeshit games.

Im loving it.

Going through the post-game, collecting the few bananas I have left.
It's a wonderful game, I don't know how Nintendo manages to keep delivering like this.

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Plan on getting it in the future.
Still getting online races in on MKW?
I'm currently working on the open world collectibles and challenges. Doing a few a day.
>>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Clubhouse Games 51 and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy mainly. My next Switch 2 game is going to be pic related, which is out tomorrow.

>>716331069 (OP)
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Modded minecraft.

I own a switch 2 but I skipped DK and sold MKW. I like the imporved performance for switch 1's backlog, but fuck me, the next exclusive better be a masterpiece

>>716336278
DK is a generational masterpiece

>>716336387
Admitedly I can't rate the gameplay since I haven't played it but visually speaking I'm not a fan

I got the MKW bundle and also bought DKB last week. I haven’t finished DKB but it’s fun MKW I haven’t even tried online yet but I don’t hate the single player. Mostly I’ve been playing TotK. TotK I never got into past the tutorial so I restated and I’m at the wind temple now. Using ultra hand made the FPS chug on the original switch and it was needed so much it kinda ruined the game but now it’s perfect and looks so smooth and sharp. Been enjoying it a lot as this is my first play through (not counting the earlier attempt where I stopped playing at the first village)

>Legends Z-A is basically exactly what I wanted them to do after SV (open world again but more focused and dense)
>will run well from day one cause cross platform
>already know my Bro-mon is in and he can Mega again

I'm excited

>>716331069 (OP)
haven't finished DK, I have 500 something bananas. MKW sucks I dont play it anymore.
What I want is Xeno games switch 2 updates and new fire emblem.

Cool fantasy world bro

PS5 and PC are you need these days. Those and a solid high end Android.

Finished DK, Haven't had time to sit down at home and play anything since this weekend. The older i get the busier i get.

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Trying to decide between playing that and finishing Deltarune at the moment
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
I actually still need to try out Mario Kart World. Maybe during the next /v/eekend.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
I just finished the Wild Hearts S demo and was plesantly surprised by it. Have the full game preordered now.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
Hopefully some info on one of the projects that Monolith Soft is working on.

>>716331069 (OP)
The only good game this has is open world mario kart, but its not special, its just open world racing game.

>>716331069 (OP)
Can't stop playing Cyberpunk. Send help.

>>716336634
I've been replaying BotW and it feels good to see Hyrule run so well

>>716339232
I dropped TotK part way through due to just not being up for a big open game at the time. Looking forward to get back to it for that reason.

Do you recommend any of these games? Planning to get them on Switch 2

I’m playing Tears of the kingdom in handheld and it looks incredible and gameplay is super smooth, both in big battles and when using abilities. I launched Breath of the wild on the original Switch yesterday to see if I could tell a difference in looks and performance and it’s night and day there’s no going back.

>>716339287
I forgot to mention Metal Slug Tactics in the list

I’m glad I waited to play it, it starts off really slow but now 15 hours in and I’m enjoying it as much as I enjoyed Breath of the wild when it first came out. It’s gorgeous even though it’s not using DLSS and it’s a last gen title.

>>716339660
Heard that game as disappointing. I found Dave the Diver really disappointing despite everyone telling me how great it is, haven't touched any of the others or heard much about them. Get Streets of Rage 4 if you haven't already.

>>716331069 (OP)
I'm debating if I should buy DK, it seems neat but for $100 Canadian I'm not sure if it's good enough to justify

>>716339287
I really liked World of Horror on PC. Seems like a great fit for switch

>>716337727
>share all but 2 games in their library
>1 of which is slated to come to PC later anyway
literally what's the point

>>716339895
I already played Streets of Rage 4 on Switch a while back, and I did like it, but I still appreciate the rec
>>716339987
Noted

>>716339287
Bombrush Cyberfunk is the only one I can vouch for out of that list. Game is a treat to the ears, eyes and soul.

i keep hearing great things about the new pro controller but apparently it still has that thing where if you let go of the stick and it swings back too hard you get brief opposite direction input, so as long as i have a working pro controller 1 i don't really see the need

i swear to god a stick deadzone setting would fix half the issues with modern nintendo controllers

>>716339962
how much did you like mario odyssey

>>716340971
I thought it was fun but not quite as good as galaxy, needed to be a lil harder

>>716340334
The point is when you sit a desk on front of a computer all day for work, some times you don't want to come home and sit at another computer all night.
PS5 is a good system and great for sitting in a recliner with some bourbon.

>>716341343
i think you're gonna feel similarly about bananza then, just gotta decide if that's worth 100 bucks to you

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Nope, don't have it
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
Nope, don't have that either. I could only find the console itself, and I ain't paying $80 for Mario Kart
>What are you playing on the new hardware?
F-Zero GX
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
Honestly, I'm either expecting it to be a Partner or to not be real at all. Keeping my expectations low will make it that much more exciting if it is a real Direct (Just gimme my psychic space lady already, you fucks)

>>716342597
My library of games is around 700 titles but I can post three screenshots of recent games I've been playing.

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
No, I'm still early in the game.

>Still getting online races in on MKW?
I never played the online races. I did the grand prix cups, kinda noticed that I wasn't really playing any laps on the actual courses, then read online that this is programmed and kinda got disgusted by it. I tried freeroam but got lost in the savannah and wasn't really having any fun, and I know now that if I try online I'll likely just get curbstomped by people who know all the trick routes when I'm just racing on the actual course. Plus the knockout tours I did were really tough and apparently you can 3-star them by just hanging back?

Honestly in retrospect if I had known all this I wouldn't have bought World and have just stuck to 8D instead. I'll play it if any of my friends ever want to play, but I have no desire to return to it otherwise. Still would've bought a Switch 2 though.

>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Pokemon at times. DK is fun but nothing else has hooked me and I refuse to buy game-key carts. I'll pick up ZA when it comes out, and then Prime 4.

>Expectations for the rumored direct?
I don't expect we'll get one.

I'm playing Bravely Default HD, how do I deal more damage, feels like I spend a good chunk of boss fights just going through the motions as I've already defused whatever threat they could pose by enacting a perfect counter to their strategy but I still have to whittle away at 8/10ths of their HP.

Thats a lot of games, are you a switch only gamer?

I was told to turn on the battery saver option in the settings to help preserve it in the long run. I've noticed that the battery's been capping out lower and lower over time. Used to be 95-ish but now it stops at 80%. I know that's expectef buy i dunno how normal 80 is supposed to be

>>716331069 (OP)
I'm not a Switch 2 owner (yet) but I want to say: thanks for beta testing. I will reasonably enjoy playing games on it when I finally buy the Switch 2 Pro in a couple of years.

Once again, thanks.

>>716343819
Nah I play on Playstation, PC and Xbox as well. Switch is something else though compared to them. Last year Splatoon 3 had more hours then the entire library of PS5 games I had played that year. I think it was around 600 for PS5 v.s Splatoon 3 700.

80% is standard when you turn on battery saver on a smartphone so its probably fine.

Unacceptable.

I have two Eshop accounts, one European and the other Japanese. The latter requires to use prepaid cards (that you can easily get from Play-Asia but they charge an extra compared to the actual value). My bank card never worked since I had a Switch in late 2020, but Nintendo Japan recently banned foreign cards to be used and only allow Paypal accounts made in Japan (which require an actual JP phone number).

It's an extra hoop, if a little bit inconvenient, but better than nothing.

>>716349548
okay yeah. I only tried Japan, so that checks out.
I'm probably not gonna spend money on prepaid cards, but do you know if other regions might work?

DK should arrive tomorrow, today I got the Gamecube controller, I play Wind Waker with it and MK with the Pro controller. I‘m at 7900 in knockout!

I’m in Bananza post game right now. The difficulty picked up a good bit for Grumpy’s fight rushes, both the fight rush and boss rush took me a few tries but the boss one was easier when I remembered glare exists. Blusterwing and the Goop guy in the rush should’ve been the real fights but I get why they didn’t do it for bluster. The rehearsals I’ve done so far were pretty easy sadly.

>>716351312
Here are two pics of time spent playing some of the games. Can't show everything.

>>716353172
How is RDR on the Switch 2? Any performance boosts?

>>716353260
Pretty much the exact same as the Switch 1 which is 30 fps. Still an impressive port but I hope they patch a 60 fps mode someday with the rumors of RDR 2 being rereleased.

>>716353509
I hope so too. I got the physical at $30 and haven't touched it yet.
It's all going according to plan, Anonthur.

I REALLY want a portable version of the GTA PS2 games and it annoys me so much that that means having to buy Definitive Edition.

Even with the patch a year or so ago, it's still compromised heavily in so many ways. Could I still enjoy them? Probably. Do I want to support a dogshit port that got slightly but not really cleaned up? Not particularly. It's currently 60% off too.

Frustrating.

>>716353619
You will wait for GTA6 and watch it skip Switch 2 and like it and be happy

No one is expecting GTA VI on switch 2

>Have you finished DK yet?
No, just got it 2 days ago, taking it slow.
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
Yeah, now and then. Still playing offline too as I haven't unlocked/seen everything yet.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
I have the full online version now with all platforms. Playing Metroid Zero Mission for GBA. >Expectations for the rumored direct?
Hadn't hear about this, we'll see I guess.

>>716354108
I expect it to skip Switch 2 and don't care because I'll get it on PC. Or PS5 if they're not doing a PC version on release I guess.

But I just wanna play San Andreas in bed on Switch for now.

>>716354207
I am

>>716354108
GTA6 will be delayed again for a Switch 2 day one release.

switch 2

Trying to decide between one of these or DK Bananza right now. Which should I play?

I bought the Switch 2, and I am having so much fun playing Mario Galaxy 2.

>>716343580
Found 1, only a single fucking p switch is left. I'm going to have to comb the map AGAIN

>>716353109
I never doubted you anon, it was some other faggot stirring shit as usual.

>>716359861
Personally, I'd go with Bananza.

>>716359861
Bananza.

>>716359861
Cyberpunk is pretty good, especially the stan-alone dlc.

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
no
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
only on /v/eekends
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
F-Zero X with the N64 controller. Amazing game, having the time of my life, but it fucking still has slowdown on Switch 2 which is unacceptable.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
FE4 remake

>>716331069 (OP)

I play a couple hours of DK on the weekend. I'm playing Pokemon LGE until Kirby drops next month, then I'll rotate back and forth.

>>716359861
Bananza now

>>716337243
>Star Ocean 2
Does Star Ocean run above 30FPS, or is it locked? I didn't test it closely.

Are pokemon s/v worth a shit as someone who never played pokemon really now that they're fixed?

>>716362578
They're improved a lot by being 60 fps but they're still scarlet and violet. If you' e never played pokémon please for the love of god don't make scarlet/violet your first experience with the series.

>>716362578

No, play a better pokemon game.

Bananza!

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Nah, I'm taking my time with it.
> Still getting online races in on MKW?
Yeah, I still get some. It's fun but I might play some more 8 now that I have all the DLC tracks I missed out on.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
No More Heroes 2. Tried to play Deadly Premonition Origins, but the sound keeps fucking up.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
I don't really know. I mostly just want a release date for Tomadachi 2 and the new Rhythm Heaven.

The 120k padding at the end was totally unnecessary.

Just got a pro controller and it's really good bros :)

>>716365313
If I already have a Pro Controller, is it worth getting the upgrade? Is it compatible with PC? Does it feel good for PC?

>>716362578
I was in your shoes and tried playing them but I still don't like them. The people look awful and the popin is terrible.

>>716365470
Haven't tried the Pro 2 on PC so I can't give an opinion, but the controller itself is super nice. It's well worth the upgrade.

>>716365470
Depends on whether you want the two back buttons, they're useful for some games.

>>716365470
Pc doesn't really work right now since nintendo changed everything for some reason, it is being worked on though (not by nintendo obviously). Check back in a couple months.

Elderly mom got sick. I got sick. Barely managed to get Bananza with the amiibo yesterday. Think I'll finish my replay of Dragon Quest Builders 2 first with a little DK in between.

Instead of a sandbox I've been playing DK like a platformer and having a blast so far.

>>716337453
I’m also waiting for a patch. The fact that ARMS got one before the Xenoblade games is a bit questionable.

>Have you finished DK yet?
Feels like I'm only 60% in.
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
On hold.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Finished Metroid Prime. Probably not playing anything else outside of DK until Prime 4 or Majogami, whichever comes first.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
Prime 4 release date, some vaseline-smeared remasters, EO6 (kekeke)

>>716350036
Online or game key card?

>>716365313
Is the imput delay better with a pro controller ?
Using the joycons in docked mode is pretty terrible.

>>716366756
Wired yes. But not by much. Gamecube emulation has bad input lag sadly.

I'll start it when they unlock the 60fps option update

Crow Country is a nice contained homage to Silent Hill 1 if you're into that.

GTAVI will absolutely be on the Switch 2. It has a reported budget between $1 and $2 billion dollars. They’re going to want to recoup as much of that as possible. Yes it will be an inferior port but it will be less of an impossible port than Witcher 3 on Switch was.

Final more or less finished with Bananza.
For a DK game it's hard to rate because they're all so different but its definitely the one I could see myself replaying the most besides DKC1.
For a 3D Mario game, I am kinda strongly opinionated on these but I'd rank it as:
Galaxy 1 > 64 > Galaxy 2 > Bananza > Bowser's Fury > Sunshine > Odyssey > 3D World.
So I definitely enjoyed it overall. My biggest criticism of it is one I share with Odyssey: You can buy infinite Bananas, which make them lose a lot of their collectability and the satisfaction of finding them, albeit at least Bananas feel a little harder to buy than moons did. Otherwise I just wish it had some more challenging bosses. The final Void Kong fight and the Final Boss in general were a solid difficulty but it didnt feel like the game ramped up to that level properly. The big bat boss and the rolling fireball guy at least felt like they were at a galaxy level of difficulty where I actually had to use my brain and do a thing, but the grumpy and poppy kong fights were all disappointingly anticlimactic and it would have been nice to get a secret postgame version of each on the same level as the final boss for difficulty.
Also very happy with the level of platforming, it wasnt QUITE as much platforming as I would like but after getting basically zero platforming as Mario in Odyssey, I was surprised at how many platforming challenges DK offered, especially since the marketing made it feel like it would probably have even less, so that element of it tickled my Galaxy fan brain.

You mean as a game key card. At that point just buy it on PC.

>world of goo 2
is that worth getting?
I really liked the first one
does it have touchscreen/mouse/gyro controls?

anyone else has a joycon making cracking sounds when moving the joystick around?
there is no drift but its a nasty sound

>>716354108
By the time GTAVI is released, the Switch 2 will have already sold more than half of the XBS X/S install base. There will definitely be a Switch 2 port, just not in the first year. Rockstar needs to sell as many copies as they can as the budget is well over a billion dollars. This isn’t like GTAV with the 160+ million combined install base of the PS360 released after the PS4 and Xbone launch with ports for them coming a year later. It will be lucky if it’s 135 million and most of that would be PS5. With not next gen any time soon. A Switch 2 port is a sure thing, none of these pre-conceived notions about Rockstar avoiding Nintendo in the past are applicable. It’s happening

>>716369041
A friend of mine claimed they had something like that for an evening but then they woke up and it stopped happening forever.

>>716369041
if it were mine I would pop it open and take a look

I bought welcome tour and fast fusion
did I fuck up
the minigames in welcome tour looked fun

Do regular micro sd card adapters work with micro express? I went to go get one at GameStop but they only had the Samsung ones which don’t come with an adapter like the generic GameStop brand advertise

>>716369074
There's no way Switch 2's PS4-level CPU can handle GTA6. I'm sure the GPU with some DLSS fudgery could manage something similar to Series S output, but the Switch 2's CPU is a massive bottleneck, it's why we see frame drops in Bananza, and GTA6 will surely be making heavy use of CPU for traffic and crowds.

>>716366756
There's input lag?

>>716368595
It would probably be a download code since that’s still cheaper than a game key card and they want to save as much money on physical packaging as they can given the game’s ridiculous budget

>>716369184
>I bought welcome tour

>>716369184
Minigames are pretty neat and it’s overall a lot more robust than “$10 manual” as people would say, but it’s not something you drop $10 on, it’s more like something you use spare cash from an eshop gift card on. Only reason I even bothered was cause I had $7 left over in my account and another $4 in gold points

>>716369184
I got Welcome Tour because I'm a sucker for tech demo shit. I think it's pretty neat and I really like the overall presentation, but it really should've been a free title all things considered. Free with an online subscription at the least.

>>716369216
It’s going to be compromised but it’s still going to happen. The CPU is technically still more powerful than the PS4 but still quite a bit below that of a Series S. Reduced traffic and pedestrian density, reduced CPU-reliant physics and particles and anything CPU intensive will be culled but anything that relies on the GPU will run absolutely fine. I assume the game targets 30fps but in the unlikely event it does target 60fps on a Series S, then it will unquestionably run at 30fps on a Switch 2. Nobody would have expected Witcher 3 to run on a Switch either.

>>716369720
What I want to know is if GTA Online would work. I know it can get pretty intense even on some PCs for 5's online, so I bet 6's will be even more intense. Knowing Rockstar, if they can't milk their online service, they'll probably avoid it.

Just beat DK. It was really excellent. Post game was pretty shirt, but when the main game is that long and good, I can’t really fault it for that.

Will be returning to Mario Kart more. It’s really my favorite entry in the series with KO Tour, the open world and particularly the new movement mechanics. But I hope it gets an update soon, particularly adding new KO tours, cause there’s plenty of options to quickly make them and the selection is a bit small right now

Will be doing the play test, and catching up on my backlog. More Ace Attorney. Maybe finishing 13 Sentinels, if I can push through this shit cat plotline

Excited for Air Riders gameplay. Prime 4 getting a date, I hope. And more info on Splatoon Raiders

>>716369720
I mean if it has to be that gimped to even work then, to both the consumer and rockstar, why bother at all? I can’t imagine anyone wanting to get it on switch 2 if it’s gonna run so much worse and be gimped to hell. At that point just get it on a different console for a “proper” experience

>>716340971
Snapback is bad on it. It’s a shame, cause it’s otherwise an amazing controller

>>716340971
>>716370550
snapback has existed since the gamecube, it goes away if you break the controller in by actually using it

>>716370945
I played a fuckton with the first pro controller, and that shit never went away

>>716370550
>>716370945
>>716371128
what is snapback?

>>716373417
It’s described here >>716340971

>>716368387
>basically zero platforming as Mario in Odyssey
What a retarded post.

>>716371128
play with it more
or alternatively just keep your thumb on the stick when going back to neutral
I don't think it's possible to not have snapback on something with a tight spring, it's just the nature of a brand new controller and you'd basically be playing the lottery trying to get a new one that doesn't have it

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
No, but that's because I'm too lazy to go up and change the cartridge from Mario Kart to DK. Been loving DK so far and the endgame(which I am aware of) has me stupid excited.
>Still getting online races in MKW?
I haven't really touched Online, save for me testing my ethernet connection with my friend via free roam.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Deltarune, though I took a break from it following drama with my friends that was admittedly largely my fault. Slowly building the courage to pick the game back up and finish Weird Route(already finished main route).
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
I have no expectations, but it would be cool to see Lethal Company, the Persona Remakes, and some DOOM Switch 2 updates(including Dark Ages).
This is also the only image in my image folder left after OneDrive wiped out all the images I've collected over the past 3 years. Thanks OneDrive, go suck a rancid cock.

I'm playing mostly Switch 1 titles. My original Switch 1 became ummmmmmmmmmm..... "non-obtanium" somewhere 2021 hehe , so I had to buy a new switch 1 couple of months ago to test waters if my account was still stable (turns out it was). So past 3-5 months I've been buying 50-75% sales on eshop and discovering some "new" games. I'm on a honeymoon period with "scarlet tower" now, top-down view action roguelite game (a game I like, but which I struggle to find new game for since I don't know how to search for these tags), and it costed me only 4,99$ which is a steal for such great game. Other games I've liked playing recently are tower defense games like Dungeon Warfare, and Defense Grid 2. I'm also trying to buy as many dynasty warrior style games that are on sale (would appreciate if someone could list them all, I know of only hyryle warriors and one piece games) ever since I tested out one of the one piece games on my "first switch" and found it was very addictive gameplay wise (and since many of those games get performance boost on Switch 2 backward compatbility). Yeah basically any games that gives me action, I can turn my brain-off while watching some video on second monitor, is a great game in my book

>>716374805
what happened to onedrive? I'm confused

>>716375254
It cost you only $4.99, costed is a different word.

>>716375315
I desynced One Drive from my laptop, I didn't want One Drive backing my shit up automatically. But when I did so, it also deleted every image from my image folders. I also though I had my images backed up to a separate flash drive already, but I guess I forgot to re-back it up after transferring everything to my new PC.
I'm not super heart broken, but it's still kinda annoying.

>>716375516
I remember that happened with my brother a month or two ago, but he was able to get everything back somehow

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Beat it, in the post game now. I could simply abuse my absurd wealth and buy my way to 100% but it's very satisfying going around and destroying shit. It's practically catharsis, especially after the workday.
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
Haven't hopped in a while, will probably go back to it after DK. I'm hoping they add new costumes for DK and Pauline now that the new game came out.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
I have my huge ass backlog of Switch 1 games to work through, which is great because I get to use the performance boost on Switch 2. Made me appreciate picking up Hyrule Warriors back up since the framerate's much better now.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
I'm satisfied for now but it would be good to know some other series are making a comeback like DK has.

>>716375578
>It's practically catharsis, especially after the workday.
What other good catharsis games are there?

>>716375562
It's technically still on my old PC, but my old PC's motherboard failed, so the only way to retrieve any of it is to extract the hard drive and bring everything on it manually, and I don't feel like doing that right now because I'm a lazy bum.

>>716369184
>did I fuck up
Yes, you could've bought Ridge Racer instead of those two obvious sloppas

>Have you finished DK yet?
I finished the story and will be taking a break from it for a bit. I'll probably go back to it and find bananas and fossils sometime.
> Still getting online races in on MKW?
Didn't buy Mario
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
Going to try out Arkham Knight next probably.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
Literally nothing.

I hope the Forgotten Land DLC is good. I thought the base game was really excellent, and the post game had some really cool challenges and bosses, so I hope they keep up that quality

Any of you guys had any system crashes? Had my console since launch and I got my first crash browsing the eShop tonight. Besides that it's been fine

>>716331069 (OP)
Got my S2 just last weekend. Addicted to MKW but multiplayer keeps disconnecting a lot of times.

>>716376658
No. Maybe stop downloading porn on ur S2 my guy

>>716375941
>ridge racer
what is this and why do I want it

I keep hoping they will do a switch 2 update for Pikmin 4 and Astral Chain, I have those on my shelf but never played them.

Have you finished DK yet?
No
> Still getting online races in on MKW?
Did not buy it, MK is not my jam
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
SOUL CALIBUR 2
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
Silksong delayed to 2029

>>716376536
I hope they add enough to sell it for $20. I'm hoping for around 5 to 10 hours of fresh content. Though from the trailers, it does seem like the previous levels, but with new paths. I'm not sure what to expect length-wise.
>>716376965
>>716377279
Hopefully the Switch 2 update improves the anti aliasing. Those jagged edges can get distracting.

>>716362549
30 FPS unfortunately. Mother fuckers need to get in gear and release patches just to unlock FPS for Switch 2. Too bad there is practically no chance of old 3rd party games getting updated.

>>716377967
Seeing how they botched this transition so hard has made me realize I'll only ever get nintendo games on these things. When I get a new graphics card or CPU everything just automatically gets better, was kinda expecting it would be like this given nintendo's big touted "single account and purchase" thing.

The switch was my first console since the gamecube so as a PC-focused gamer it's bizarre people put up with this.

>>716333904
I will do the same.
2d games are terrible on the switch 2, where I used to buy them on my switch 1 I know pirate them on my ally. 100% because of the screen, I have no problem paying for games before people take that cope.

Where are the games?

>>716377967
Of course not. Shitbag companies want you to buy S2 versions of old games on game key cards.

>>716377140
Maybe you shouldn't play Ridge Racer. Just consume the slop and don't think too hard about it.

faggots acting like the switch 2 is the greatest launch for nintendo. the nintendo switch 2 is NOT a powerful device and WHERE ARE THE GAMES??? tendies starting to sound like P-Ass-5 fanboys, bragging about cross-generation games. there are only 2 fucking games, the GC emulator is trash, consoles are being bricked regularly, wht is there to be celebrating??? I'm fucking seriously curious.
>it sold 4million
>Sold Out
As if anyone of you are benefiting by going out and buying this trash with NO GAMES. the NS2 sucks ass thru a straw. there are games that don't even run on it properly, then there's the game key faggot shit. even if you want to take advantage of the backwards compatibility, you MUST go online. Advertised as a 4k 120FPS device and barely getting 40FPS and no 4K game. Mario Kart isn't a graphical showcase game and isn't even 1080p 120FPS wtf is wrong with you people? you guys bought into this scam

>the pirates made a Metroid in Prime 1 that caused psychotic episodes if you got too close
Imagine if this specific Metroid is why you have psycho powers in 4

>>716377851
same energy

>>716378096
you’re genuinely tech illiterate. Nintendo didn’t botch it, this is just how games are designed for consoles

>>716378096
>The switch was my first console since the gamecube so as a PC-focused gamer it's bizarre people put up with this.
I can endure 30fps just fine, especially when it's stable.
Some third-party games could benefit from an increase of internal resolution though.

My thoughts on the Switch 2.

Im on sublevel 401 now, winter zone. Comfy shit, enjoying it quite a bit. Also havent updated fmw since launch, they try to get my everytime eith pop up, but good luck to them.
I also hope direct rumours before end of month are true, i really fucking hope all xenoblade games will get upgrades. That trilogy is some of my favourite titles on switch, also X upgrade please

>>716331069 (OP)
>Have you finished DK yet?
Yes. Game is fucking incredible and this is coming from someone who was mildly disappointed with Odyssey.
>Still getting online races in on MKW?
I stopped getting those ages ago due to the dead lobbies so I don't even try anymore. I dunno if that's from Nintendo's shit matchmaking or the playerbase dropping off a cliff, but they haven't even bothered to fix it so fuck 'em.
>What else are you playing on the new hardware?
TotK Switch 2 edition. Fuck the haters, game is a masterpiece.
>Expectations for the rumored direct?
Kirby, Metroid, and then a lot of shovelware/3rd party crap.

>>716378391
You didn't read the OP. If you don't own a Switch 2 please leave. Your presence degrades the quality of the thread.

>>716377279
Same. Highly recommend Astral Chain, it's one of my favorite games on the Switch 1. It'd look beautiful with some upgrades.

>Jamboree doesn't have a higher resolution/framerate
The niggers at NDCube should be killed

Wish we had a release date for MP4.

>>716383605
the paid switch 2 edition upgrade that came out yesterday lists resolution improvements (nothing about framerate though lol)

wenz kirby

really weird to me how most bananza threads seem to be about how it fits in the "timeline", what a bizarre thing to care about

>>716384357
august 28

>>716384879
Yeah, I can't imagine caring about that shit. The game is a prequel to Odyssey. I'm satisfied with that

Are there individuals who really bought jamboree tv goyslop lol. I could smell the rancidness from a mile away.

I CAN'T STOP PLAYING FANTASY LIFE I! SOMEONE STOP ME!

Not buying it until the hacks are ready next year. Thanks for beta testing.

>>716383858
Wish we had a Direct next week that had that

>>716331069 (OP)
>Finished DK
Yes, 100% it even. Hope it gets updates like Odyssey did for Switch 1.
>Mario Kart World
Yes I’m using the discord it’s fantastic
>What else are you playing
I played some SMM2 levels, might finish Xenoblade X and play some of the updated games like Captain Toad.
>Expectations for Direct
Metroid Prime 4 release date, Splatoon Raiders in-depth trailer and Mario Kart World Bananza DLC

>>716350609
>free emulation requires some work on your end
literally doesnt, with EmuDeck everything is auto-installed and configured
>$399-$649 with $100 dock not included
thing is ANY dock works on eck, i am using my Dell workstation laptop USB C dock and even got a $15 chink USB C dock that i carry when traveling
>game console is not a desktop fucking shocker
having extra features is le bad, COPE

>>716390763
Thanks for the bump :)
