Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon or bust!

It's true that I would like a device that could fit in my pocket, even if it had to fold in half to do so, but the Switch 2 is an appropriate size nonetheless. Wouldn't want it to be any bigger because then it basically becomes a tablet.

I guess we're going to hear this after every movie.

Shouting out Lady Red is wild.

So this was the one.

Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are welcome to join the Switch library, please and thank you.

The mClassic has its uses but I never bothered using mine to be honest. IIRC it can do 1440p60 but unfortunately my LG C1 OLED doesn't support that resolution. So it basically became a $100 anti-aliasing device.

My wife and I played It Takes Two on Switch a few months ago. It is a really great game.

Thank you for everything!

I had a blast playing this on the GameCube as a kid but I never beat it. Maybe now's the time to try again!

@Markiemania95 I think that happened a while ago, man. I missed 1514-1517 when they dropped in January and had to wait until like May for them to show up, but my point is all 1528 spirits should be available on the spirit board now.

Either way, guilty or not guilty: not lawyering up is crazy.

@somebread I knew it had to be something like that. I just think the story of how they found hidden data while breaking down the source and what they had to do to uncover it would have been as interesting to include as the button combo itself.

Wish the article would have said how they found the button combination in the first place.

Now those are patch notes! Really great stuff!

1) I'm not upset at all, and I doubt anyone is so hungry for this game that they're fuming about the delay, either. It will just make for a better product in the end.

2) Several fighting games have gotten rollback netcode on the Switch. This makes me very, very hopeful that the next Smash Bros game will get rollback netcode as well.

@Diowine Totally true. Reading from system memory is faster than reading from a game cartridge and/or SD card. Not going to be a night and day difference, but it helps. Goes for BotW, TotK, etc.

Don't worry! People don't care about frame rate! It's true. I read it in the comments on Nintendolife dot com.

"the **Blur** Blur isn't getting a whiff of attention"

Looks like you made an oopsie.

Really disappointed to hear about the frame rate. That was one of the big issues I just couldn't look past in Link's Awakening, and I don't even consider myself someone who notices frame rate dips at all. A locked 30 fps is better (imo) than a constantly changing 40-60 fps.

Look, I'm a Smash Bros/Nintendo fan so I'm sure I'll get the successor console eventually, but if it's essentially just a more powerful Switch - a Switch Pro, if you will - I'm not gonna lie, I'd be a little disappointed. It's gotta have a gimmick of some sort to keep up the momentum. If we were going to get a Pro model it should have been the OLED.

I've been speculating this for a while now, but I think/thought the "Nintendo Switch VR" could be the next iteration. With Nintendo's history of motion controls combined with a reasonably priced, reasonably spec'd home VR setup, I could see it being a winner even if every AAA game doesn't make use of it.

Another name idea is the "Switch Up" but that's just to give it more flavor than the Switch 2 / Pro / Super Switch, etc.

I just upgraded to the OLED a couple days ago so it would make sense for Nintendo to announce the Switch 2 now. Please, Nintendo, spite me! I want to see the new hardware!

Never played it, but maybe one day.

Oh goodness, I don't know. But I hope so!

I knew there had to be a catch lol

This game is right up my alley. The cherry on top would be a <$60 price point, but either way this is definitely something I'm picking up.

@yohn777 Ah, good catch on the PC version not having Remastered in the title despite being 1080p (and above?).

But yeah... This is really looking like a mess up. Don't get me wrong if it's somehow the PS4 Remaster getting a port I will pre-order it immediately. But let's be honest, there's no way. 1080p? On the Switch? Like... Smash Ultimate and a handful of others. 60fps? No chance. That is Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. The switch port is "Valkyria Chronicles (for Nintendo Switch)" AKA the PS3 version + DLCs.

It sounds so immature but I fear LRG could get in legal trouble for this. This would be blatant false advertising unless 1) The "Remastered" title got blended into the aether of the game and every version is kind of the remastered version now or something, or 2) this physical release is somehow actually the remastered version of the game.

I'm really curious if this is the Remastered version or not.

The Switch version is the standard game + DLCs. It's not marketed with the Remastered title. That's only for PC & PS4 which run at 1080p 60fps.

IMO looks like false advertising.

$300 again and I'll get it day one.

$400 and I'll pick it up somewhere within the first year. I don't mind waiting.

$500 and I'm definitely not getting it until a nice holiday sale comes along.

Unless the 'Switch 2' does something really novel with its hardware I think it's unlikely to outsell its predecessor.

Snagged a digital copy of MH Rise + Sunbreak Deluxe! Thanks for the heads up, guys.

Lost Odyssey!

Gavin knocked it out of the park! That's exactly what I want to see.

900p while docked is unfortunate. 30fps is acceptable. Not being locked at 30fps is bad.

Summing up the file sizes for 1-6 I got: 4.955gb. Wonder where the extra half a gig comes from...

I'm at least picking up FFVI if not the entire collection. Might give SE a couple days to knock out any day one bugs, but definitely purchasing at some point. Never played 1-3 & 5. The EXP modifier has sold me.

Okay, weird. I've had It Takes Two on my wishlist since it was announced for Switch, and in my wishlist it has never changed from "Release date: 11/4/2022, Not Available for Purchase". Not even today. I assumed something fell through and the port was canned. But lo and behold when I searched for it in the eShop just now it's available, and probably has been for some time. Very strange.

I think I will pick it up while it's on sale and play it with wifey.

I have no idea what the next generation console will be. TBH I'm really happy with everything the Switch provides, and I'd be sad to see the next iteration return to a home-only situation, not that I've seen that speculated. I'd like to see modular parts, such as the Switch itself and the dock, being upgradable separately to offer different benefits. Maybe the "new" dock and "new" Switch together can reach 4K, but a "new" Switch and old dock can still function together but at a better performance than the Switch can currently output? And vice versa. And my disappointment will be immense if the new console isn't backwards compatible with current Switch game cartridges.

I kinda thought that was the idea when we got the Switch OLED before it was confirmed that it still topped off at 1080p.

So, yeah, idk. I guess a Switch "Pro" is exactly what I want, but we'll see what Nintendo has to say in the coming months/year.

Breath of the Arceus.

@paya Thank you for your comment/review. Very helpful. I prefer watching anime subbed so I'm a bit turned off by not having JPN voice actors, but the game not just being a quick cash grab will keep me interested. I'll probably still wait for a sale.

Never played the game but I love the cover art. It looks like something Hayao Miyazaki would have drawn.

But Pot of Greed only lets you draw 2 cards.

The base game as well as the Super Edition or whatever are on sale on the eShop for the next several days.

Interesting timing. I wonder if this is in response to WB MultiVerses.

Below the Let's Go games? Yeah right.

Even I do not know if I will buy BD/SP on the 19th.

@Broosh This has nothing to do with The Witcher 3.

How did this make news on a Nintendo website?

Thanks for letting me know I guess.
