Tears of the Kingdom
Metroid Prime 4
I would like it if they made Totk run 120fps at 1080p or even 720p

>What are you currently playing?
Replaying Xenoblade DE after being disappointed as fuck thinking Gamefreak would actually change, including a year of delays btw.
>What are you looking forward to?
Kirby Air Riders™, directed by vidya legend Masahiro Sakurai exclusively for this console launching on November 20th.
>Any games that you would like to see updated or more improvements and performance?
Red Dead Redemption 1, can't believe its still locked to 30FPS on Switch 2.

Persona 4 Golden. I recently picked up NEO: TWEWY at a local store too.
>What are you looking forward to?
Persona 3 Reload, Kirby Air Riders, Splatoon Raiders, and Metroid Prime 4
>Any games that you would like to see updated or more improvements and performance?
I'd like to see performance improvements for some Switch 1 Atlus games, e.g. P5R and SMTV:V.
Regarding future updates, I hope they add custom game options to Mario Kart World. Air Riders showed off the extensive number of options you could mess with in the direct, which is to be expected; SSBU was the same way. MKW could really benefit from custom lobbies. I wish I could make races where you drive to the track but complete a full three laps too.

Legends Z-A, having a good time with it, always did wish they explored Kalos more as a location so I'm very pleased with it so far.
>>What are you looking forward to?
Kirby Air Riders and DQ1+2 mainly
>>Any games that you would like to see updated or more improvements and performance?
Still fucking begging for Astral Chain, and maybe Xenoblade. I'd also like for SE to get off their asses and patch up NieR, same with TouHou 17.5.

Fucking Paper Mario TTYD, Brothership and XB2

I'm alternating between Ball x Pit and Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost

I'm currently playing the SMT Vengeance game trial. It's my first time with the SMT series and it's been fun so far.

A Switch 2 OLED

Something for the Switch 2 OLED

Howdy faggots, I have this doubt:
I have a niece (14yo) and a nephew (6yo). My niece had a Switch OLED, but my sister got divorced because my brother-in-law had an affair with a 20yo hot blonde, and he took the Switch with him lmao.
I’m thinking about Christmas and unsure whether to give them the PlayStation 5 bundle with AstroBot, Gran Turismo 7, and a second DualSense controller. However, I don’t think a PS5 would be a good gift for them but it's the most affordable option, so I’m considering getting a Switch Lite and a Switch OLED with Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Super Mario Wonder, and Metroid Dread, letting them share games and play co-op. But with the cost of both the Lite and the OLED, I could afford a Switch 2 and a Pro Controller. The issue is, they might end up sharing the console, and I’m worried they’ll argue and cause trouble since they’re young and immature.
What should I do? Which console should I get for them?
>PS5 with a 2nd controller and 2 games (cheapest option, by a mile)
>Switch 2 with a 2nd controller and Mario Kart World
>Switch OLED; Lite and 3 or 4 games?

>>723566164
PS5 sounds like a miserable option (and an actual waste of money even if it's "cheap") because there aren't much games for the two individuals you mentioned.
Switch 1 at least has games that could interest the both of them between Animal Crossing, Katamari, Minecraft, Pikmin, Mario Kart, Kirby, Deemo, Plants vs Zombies, 51 Worldwide Games, Good Job!, Part-Time UFO, etc.
In case you're worried about the eventual sibling disputes, try to discuss about this topic with their parent(s) first.

>>723566164
>The issue is, they might end up sharing the console, and I’m worried they’ll argue and cause trouble since they’re young and immature.

I think it's a fact of life that siblings fight over toys and videogame consoles. I remember some friend of mine had consoles x2 because they were 2 brothers and played in their own room.

I thought it was extremely spoiled of them. Wasn't even jealous.

>>723566164
>I’m worried they’ll argue and cause trouble
real talk, there's a simple solution to this. DO NOT get them a video game until they grow up. This idea that video games are for kids is for the birds, games are for young adults who are mature enough to understand and appreciate them. They ARE NOT for kids who will argue with each other over them, they're too expensive for that shit.

>>723563427 (OP)
>>What are you currently playing?
Luigi's Mansion (Wii U, Nintendont)
Mario Kart Wii (Wii U)
Taiko no Tatsujin Wii (Wii U)
Notice no Switch 2 games. It's been covered in dust ever since MKW seemed awful to play and DK disappointed me terribly as an EAD Tokyo game.
>>What are you looking forward to?
Hyrule Warriors, loved the first one, I hope it's not another fucking Switch 2 disappointment.
Metroid Prime 4, but I will play this on my hacked Switch 1 as it will surely leak a week prior to launch.
>>Any games that you would like to see updated or more improvements and performance?
I don't care. I won't buy your Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 for $70 because I would never think of playing them without the controller that God intended, with a Wiimote that doesn't need to be recalibrated every two minutes. As you can see, I'm not allergic to previous Nintendo systems.

>>723567239
>PS5 sounds like a miserable option
To be fair, it is.

>>723567727
I believe co-op games are great for building connections and strengthening bonds. When I was 6 and my sister 10, we spent a lot of time playing Jet Force Gemini, and I developed this mentality of being her wingman while I shot things as Jet. The same went for Smash Bros and Mario Tennis, teaming up against the CPU and playing together as a team.

I'm planning to buy an OLED and a LITE. Thanks for the heads-up, I really appreciate it.

>>723568913
Sure, but how do you measure maturity in children. If you know they're prone to fighting then you can forget the co-op stuff.

>>723569163
>If you know they're prone to fighting then you can forget the co-op stuff
They'll figure out how to work together just as my sister and I did.

>>723563427 (OP)
Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World with the kiddos and some Fantasy Life.

I'm getting the itch to play BOTW again. I ordered a nicer expanded game guide for it on super sale $12) since I'm at that age where I don't have time to really dig into every last thing lol.

>>723568913
You can buyva Switch for them. But do not give it to them. Instead tell the kids this is your's or their parents' property. And they are only allowed to play on your or their parents' terms. If they want a console of their own then they can earn it or buy it themselves.

Bump

>>723566137
Same.

Nothing until I get one

>>723563427 (OP)
Z-A. It's pretty fun. I'm looking forward to Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4, and Age of Calamity. Give me Xenoblade updates or give me death!

>>723574449
>Xenoblade updates or give me death!
The textures on Xenogames are already pretty good as-is on Switch, aren't they? Asking since I think they really could just get away with upping the dynamic range to 1080p at least and the games'd look great without further tweaking, honestly. Still surprised they haven't pushed out an update for any of them, I can only assume Monolith is busy with higher priority projects

Collecting dust.
No battery charge.
No games.

>>723563427 (OP)
Pokemon ZA
Pokemon Pokopia, gen10
Xenoblade

>>723574449
I've not played a pokemon game since XY but loosely kept track of releases for if any look interesting. The previous legends and this one seem far more interesting.
Is the new battle system good or does it just come down to spamming stuff to their cooldowns?

Still buying a Switch 2

>>723575590
i hope pokopia supports bank, i have transfer autism

>What are you currently playing?

I bought a Switch 2 with Mario Kart World and I ordered a Samsung microsd express card and it arrived yesterday, but I am not gonna use my Switch 2 until November or Holidays, currently rocking my Switch 1, just finished Shantae and the Seven Sirens, might try Ball X Pit later

>What are you looking forward to?

Not too much stuff, only MP4, Kirby Air Raiders and maybe Age of Imprisonment. Still need to pick up Bonanza.

>Any games that you would like to see updated for more improvements and performance?

Would like to see the DOOM and Wolfenstein games getting updated also mouse controls, also Xenoblade Chronicles games too. Also Chrono Cross Radical Dreamers should get updated too.

>>723575830
Don't expect too much.
See: mystery dungeon

Having fun with Z-A, but mostly still on my first playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. I loved the base game, and am almost done with Future Connected. Straight into 2 after. Can someone tell me about the season pass?
>>What are you looking forward to?
Kirby Air Riders and Hyrule Warriors.
>>Any games that you would like to see updated or more improvements and performance?
Any would be nice really.

Does anyone else feel like the bump up to rank F is the biggest load of bullshit in Z-A? And kinda goes against the whole premise?

>>723575304
I'm more looking forward to 60fps patches the Xenoblade series, especially XCX. I got the game, but my old Switch died and I got a Switch 2. Now I'm waiting to experience it in 60fps.
>>723575596
I would compare it to Xenoblade's tutorials. Sadly, positioning isn't a factor to how battles go, but it still activates the neurons that makes me enjoy Pokémon games. Arceus is way more fun though.

>>723576143
Real shit is in the online battle i guess.

Bump

>>723566164
The Switch is designed with two people in mind. The joy-cons are effectively two controllers in one, making co-op games pretty easy to try. You should check out Snipper-Clips. It's a fun co-op game that launched with the Switch.

>>723572408
That's a based advice, I do appreciate it.

>>723580961
If the toy is borrowed kids have to be more careful with it. Otherwise they'll have the guilt of making the toy owner upset.

Trails in the Sky 1st is pretty fucking good.

Monster Hunter Rise, Shin Megami Tensei V/Vengeance

>>723563427 (OP)
Just the Xenoblade, Bayonetta, and Astral Chain games need a Switch 2 patch upgrade.

>>723566164
All you'll get is biased opinions here about how the switch is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Buy them a PS5 a game that is both on PC and console, and play with them.

>>723563427 (OP)
>What are you looking forward to?
Majogami and Once Upon a Katamari. I'm probably going to pick up Echoes of Wisdom, Earthion, and Castlevania Dominus Collection too.

>>723587941
The OG Switch yes. The Switch 2 is an overpriced piece of shit.

>>723589687
Who are you kidding, it's not overpriced at all unless you live in a country that still hasn't got fibreoptic internet.

>What are you currently playing?
Pokemon ZA. Great game, I genuinely don't understand the shitposting surrounding it
>What are you looking forward to?
I'll be buying Air Riders and Age of Imprisonment next month
>Any games that you would like to see updated or more improvements and performance?
I've been meaning to replay Luigi's Mansion 3, so that would be nice

I am really loving my switch2 pro controller. I love it a ton.
But valve still haven't added switch2 drivers to steam have they?

>>723589687
>overpriced piece of shit
I would try to disagree with you but, um, spot on. Barely any games for it as well so....

>>723575756
Pipe down, macaco. The feds are coming.

>>723590193
Switch 2 should have been $400. Not $450. And Mario Kart World should have been $60-70 not $80. Anyway Switch OLED is now $400. It sucks to support Nintendo right now.

>>723589687
>>723590634
Simmer down macaco. The feds are coming for you

>>723590616
Nintendo blocked using Switch 2 Pro controller on third party devices. You'll probably have to wait for a hack to use it on PC eventually.

>>723590834
>crying over $50 diffrence
Lmao, lol even

>>723591315
Seriously. You buy a console at launch and it should last you years. I bought a 3DS in 2011 and I was still playing it in 2019. I bought a Switch in 2018 and I was still play it in 2025. I bought a Switch 2 this year and I'll still have it fives years from no.

Crying over small amounts of money just shows that the average anti nintendo poster here is either a third worlder or a child

>>723589687
>People still think the switch 2 is overpriced
Get a job

>>723590994
>Nintendo blocked using Switch 2 Pro controller on third party devices.
No they didn't. That's some bullshit you've read.
The reason it doesn't work on PCs isn't because Nintendo has some special DRM in the controller. It's simply because neither the controllers nor Windows have got any drivers for them.

Just ordered this bad boy, is it any good?

>replay Pikmin 3
>decide to go with ultra spicy, a bit of challenge sounds nice
>still end with like 10 days to spare, the only day I was crazy about collecting fruit was the day Louie steals your juice supply
>only thing 60 Pikmin limit did was make me accidentally go into the one cave in Twilight River that needs 20 yellows to light up unprepared because I forgot it took 20 and left some space open for when I unlock the winged Pikmin
I wish Nintendo wasn't so scared of difficulty

Hell yeah, Switch thread.
>What are you currently playing?
Bananza, Z-A, and Process of Elimination.
>What are you looking forward to?
Kirby Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4, and Decapolice. I'll mainly be playing through Switch 1 games after I get to the end of Bananza and PoE.
>Improvements
Fucking everything needs the Splatoon 3 treatment. At least native resolution and higher frame rate caps. If we can't get 60, give me 45. Get these developers devkits ASAP.

Has anyone played Front Mission 3 on Switch 2? I'm curious about picking it up, but Square has really been shitting the bed in recent years, so I can't trust it.

>>723590392

Wish I liked musous more. Gameshare and co-op sound nice, but I CBA with most musous.
>>723586628
>Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion
Have you had the chance to try cross-play? I'm curious as to how well it works. I have a friend with the game on Switch 2, but I have it on PC.

>>723592726
>Has anyone played Front Mission 3 on Switch 2?
No but just a fair warning that it has worse battle animations and the CGs have also become nonsensical because the dev studio behind the remake used an AI.

How's legends ZA? Is it as fun as PLA or do I skip it?

>>723586628 (me)
>>723592947
No clue, I haven't gotten around cross-play yet. Might give it a chance once I'm comfortable playing online.

SMT, DKB and finishing Outlaws

>>723593135
I elected to skip Arceus, so I can't compare gameplay, but it looks and runs better, at the very least. I like the premise so far. You can do a bit of exploring after you get through some of the early tutorials. Battling is fun, but not hugely different from past games. Timing and distance is actually important for some moves, though. Characters look good, and there's plenty of customization options. So far, I'm liking it quite a bit. I've only played Let's Go Eevee on the Switch, though, so I'm not familiar with recent pokemon games. There's multiplayer too, if you want to battle people.

At least Switch 2 runs Paper Mario TTYD well despite not having an update. I wish Dragon Quest Builders 1 would stop freezing on Switch 2. Maybe later updates fixed it. Haven't tried it yet. Been playing Builders 1 on Switch 1 instead.

>>723595601
>At least Switch 2 runs Paper Mario TTYD well
It already ran fine on the switch1, but it would be better if it ran 60fps like the original gamecube version

>>723592058
They are solid for the price. I've been using one for many years on switch and pc

>>723595820
I don't think Intelligent Systems is going to update Paper Mario with a free 60fps patch. A lot of physics are tied to framerate sadly. That and IS will prioritize Fire Emblem.

Is Chrono Cross still incompatible with Switch 2?

>>723595601
>At least Switch 2 runs Paper Mario TTYD well despite not having an update
Coping for a 60 fps update before picking this up.

>>723566164
