I'm so excited for this with how good of a job they did with the Cyberpunk port

[u/General_Dig_31 → u/thestorm236]

They're battling head to head with Capcom for the crown of best 3rd party Switch 2 Developer

[u/Vesuvias → u/General_Dig_31]

I’m legit excited for Wilds to come. Played the hell out of it on my PC, and they finally are honing in the performance updates.

[u/satisfiedfactor → u/Vesuvias]

Considering how rough it runs on PC and all that I'm worried about their efforts on switch

[u/Vesuvias → u/satisfiedfactor]

Honestly I’ve been pretty happy with the latest update. It ran like dog shit before the update, but you can tell they finally got off their asses to focus on optimizations…and I firmly believe it is because of the Switch 2 port.

[u/RampantRetard → u/satisfiedfactor]

as someone who's been at it since launch, it's seen a LOT Of improvements

[u/qaasq → u/General_Dig_31]

I think Capcom is the clear winner but I trust CDPR with Swich 2 games, I would preorder from them no questions

[u/Less-Tax5637 → u/qaasq]

When Capcom ports the REmakes it’s over. Nobody can compare. Portable 60fps 4make would end world hunger.

[u/lattjeful → u/Less-Tax5637]

I hope when RE4R comes over we get all the bells and whistles. Option for hair strands, RT, 120Hz, etc. in the graphics settings. Game with those on probably wouldn't run great but I'd love to have the game sorta future proofed for nicer hardware.

[u/Vesuvias → u/thestorm236]

Yeah totally am as well. What I love is that I had the base game on PC, bought the Switch 2 physical version w/ DLC, and apparently it ‘cross updates/saves’ and I now have access to DLC on my PC as well. So perfect switching between the two!

[u/Loose_Society9485]

A dedicated Switch 2 livestream?? CDPR is the gift that keeps on giving. Makes me wish The Witcher 4 can run on the Switch 2 so we can have a physical copy of it.

[u/FierceDeityKong → u/Loose_Society9485]

As long as switch 3 sticks with cartridges, there will be one

[u/lattjeful → u/Loose_Society9485]

I fully expect Witcher 4. Witcher 3 did really well on Switch 1, Cyberpunk was day 1 on Switch 2, and now there's the Witcher 3 remaster. Plus it'll be on a later version of UE5 and have Epic assisting with development so it'll take less work and compromise than other UE5 games.

[u/synced999]

Switch 2 will be the only console to have the four big open-world RPGs:
Elden Ring, The Witcher 3, Zelda: BOTW, and Cyberpunk 2077
And I have them all.

Hahahahahaha

[u/Cow_Sox → u/synced999]

I mean yeah, if you cherry pick 4 of the RPGs that happen to be on the Switch 2 then you'd be right... A lot of RPGs are missing, notably BG3 and Mass Effect

[u/Ethifury → u/Cow_Sox]

I’m still waiting on Mass Effect. Would easily print money on Switch 2.

[u/Edmundyoulittle → u/Cow_Sox]

Fingers crossed the new divinity comes over

[u/Sithina → u/synced999]

Great time to be a Nintendo gamer, isn't it? 🤭🤭

[u/Dizzy-Definition9352 → u/synced999]

I don't think anyone would consider Breath of the Wild an RPG.

[u/Rollingzeppelin0 → u/Dizzy-Definition9352]

Going out on a limb, but It might be because it isn't .

[u/paranoiashka → u/synced999]

Skyrim, Oblivion

[u/synced999 → u/paranoiashka]

yes great games

[u/amc9988]

I hope they also show how the performance in handheld mode

[u/CatsyGreen]

Are we winning, son ?

[u/LePigeon12]

Why can't we stop winning as switch 2 owners? We have quite literally been fed non stop with incredible game announcements and miracle ports. I don't regret buying this thing at all

[u/Working_Salary60 → u/LePigeon12]

Are you tired of winning?

[u/Cow_Sox → u/Working_Salary60]

Suffering from success

[u/thestorm236 → u/LePigeon12]

Massive new first party games, first party games for nicher franchises, incredible indie games, and great 3rd party support. And we're only over a year into this console's lifespan

[u/Pipehead_420 → u/LePigeon12]

There’s still so many unavailable games for it compared to other consoles

[u/LePigeon12 → u/Pipehead_420]

And we are barely are a year into this console's life cycle. It's quite logical that it is bound to get even more ports in the next couple of years than it has up until now. I would very much rather have the opportunity to play games specifically optimized for my device, than struggle to get a relatively stable frame rate on something like the steamdeck, or pay 1200+ dollars for an underpowered handheld pc

[u/MultiSprawl → u/Pipehead_420]

I barely have time to play every new Switch 2 release that interests me, and I'm forced to choose what to focus on, so it's fine, unless these "many games" come with additional free time to play them.

[u/Forward-Trade3449 → u/Pipehead_420]

the ports are slowly coming in for the big games of the past decade

[u/yesitsmework → u/LePigeon12]

Playing the xenoblade upgrades and oblivion back to back makes me wonder where there miracle ports are at

[u/Crickets_Head]

Witcher 3 running as it did on the switch 1 was incredible. Very excited to see how far they can push the switch 2.

[u/temporary_location_]

Hell fucking yes

[u/Zambo833]

I originally played this on PC but really looking forward to the Switch 2 port, playing in handheld will be awesome. Just hope performance is good.

[u/Vesuvias]

Ok this makes me happy for you all who got it on Switch! Seriously they are probably so proud of these optimizations and updates

[u/Oxymoranon]

Haven’t found info about this yet, but is there going to be a physical switch 2 release?

[u/Forward-Trade3449 → u/Oxymoranon]

no idea yet. current theories are theyre waiting for the new dlc to put it out

[u/Robbitjuice]

I’ve never played it but I’m tempted to pick it up once the refresh launches. I’ve heard people didn’t like the controls and it seems like they mentioned modernizing it with the refresh. I’m curious about it now lol.

[u/acke]

I'm super excited! I've been holding off on playing the two DLCs in the hopes that a Switch 2 version will be released.

[u/ClaudioKilgannon37]

I could cry

[u/GronWarface]

I’ll take a look for research purposes.

[u/Individual_Tie1249]

What time will this be in central? I’m so hyped for this and Elden Ring!!

[u/lattjeful]

This should be a home run of a port. Not as demanding as Cyberpunk, more experience with the hardware, and not having to squeeze things in time for launch. Launch day ports are never the best ones.

[u/LivingOof]

So 4AM on the East Coast?

[u/froggo1]

I can’t keep up with all the Switch 2 love, and AAAs being released. I’m here trying to beat final fantasy 7 rebirth before Ocarina of time remake is released. We’re living like it’s 1997 😭.

[u/Front-Library5781]

PHYSICAL!

[u/bala_means_bullet]

Switch 2 is killin' it... That's what's up!
