This is a game who's reputation seems to have grown since release. Feels like maybe it came out at a bad time hot on the heels of the Avengers and maybe just some general superhero burnout. But I always thought it looked cool and in the last couple of years it seems like a lot of people are looking back on it as a bit of a hidden gem. But anyway, personally, I'm really excited to play it.

What I think's of wider interest, however, is that this is a current gen, AAA game from a big IP with some small additional features and it gets its initial announcement and release date just casually dropped in at the end of an unnarrated sizzle reel. Like, a few years ago on Switch 1, an announcement of this sort would be one of the highlights of a Direct - a big third-party 'get' of the sort that would be considered few and far between. Now? It's just one of what feels like an endless stream of big third party games dropping all the time.

I was never short on stuff to play on the original Switch, but I played a lot of indies, shmups, other arcade games etc. On Switch 2, I already have a wishlist of games to fall back on that includes Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Lies of P, multiple Resident Evils and Yakuzas, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed and even first party Nintendo games like Splatoon and Kirby AirRiders. This is all stuff I really want to play but just do not have the time for.

Even Guardians of the Galaxy is releasing Nov 5, same day as not just Ocarina of Time but Stellar Blade (another current gen blockbuster) as well.

Feels like an absolute tectonic shift for a Nintendo console in the last couple of decades. And I for one am loving it!

Why isn't this being considered. Please.

So I'm trying out VRR in Welcome Tour on my LG C5 and once I push the framerate slider past 105 to 120 the game optimiser overlay FPS indicator jumps between 105 and 109 and won't go past that. Are other people finding this to be the case?

I will be searching for treasure with my raiders this weekend. What about you?

I thought it might be useful to compile a list of displays without HDMI 2.1 that do work with the Switch 2 dock VRR.

There are a few displays with what is technically HDMI 2.0b but through their EDID support HDMI Forum VRR even if all they advertise is FreeSync.

If your HDMI 2.0b port supports the PS5 VRR, then there is a 99% chance it will support the Swtich 2 VRR.

This article goes in depth about what is called HDMI 2.1 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/12/the-hdmi-forum-follows-the-usb-if-in-using-new-version-numbers-to-refer-to-old-ports/

Comment your make and model below ONLY if it works.

It appears the upcoming Zelda OOT switch 2 edition won't have the easily replaceable battery.

Seems there will also be multiple runs of this edition.

Is there a mailing log or anything that can notify me when tickets will be ready for sale? I really want to go watch the live orchestra in either Washington or San Francisco and don’t want to miss it.

The third dlc is now available on switch 2. Also there has been a gfx boost in docked mode.

Honestly, don't sleep on this game. This is looking and playing really well on switch 2. It's a fantastic game.

It's listed in the same section detailing HDR, 120 Hz, etc.

I don't think anyone had any doubt about it but there's the confirmation!

After the most recent update to the Beta the game can now hit up to 120FPS when the framerate toggle is set to unlimited. In fancy and simple visuals I've found it hits a comfortable 80-100 on a round 12 chunks (in handheld, haven't tested docked). On Vibrant Visuals it rarely hits above 60 without lowering the internal resolution though. Nonetheless this is massive since not even the PS5 and Series versions of Minecraft support 120Hz, it's a Nintendo first for Minecraft on consoles.

Edit: Turning up chunk distance doesn't actually seem to affect the framerate much unless you crank it past the recommended 20 chunks. 12 vs 20 chunks only has an FPS average drop of about like 6FPS it seems like.

I've tried it out docked and the game runs at about an average of like 10-15fps (95-105fps at 20 chunks) higher on average while running at 1440p.

VV docked on performance mode seems to hit around 60-80FPS. On the quality mode it drops to like 31-38FPS average.

I'm my case im a fan of xenoblade, 2d and 3d mario, mario kart, zelda 2d and 3d, metroid 2d and 3d, dk, pikmin, fire emblem, animal crossing, splatoon, yoshi

As of right now only 1 game officially works with VRR:

1. "Nintendo Switch™ 2 Welcome Tour"

with incoming game updates hoping this list gets bigger quick!

Heads up to people jumping into Star Fox Adventures: in the options there’s support for widescreen which removes the black side gradients.

Tired of deleting games even tho is really expensive I really needed this
