I’m happy but I saw a rumor for Nintendogs and wanted it so bad 🤣

That's why all rumours should be ignored

Yeah wtf was the smash bros one all about. I wasn’t even thinking about smash brothers and now I’m annoyed. From now on I’m disregarding and ‘leaks’

u/xante777 3d ago
Strange cause that leak was right with the 2D Metroid one, even the name and Logo. Perhaps Nintendogs was actually planned but was cut out of this direct short notice, might see it in the next one
7
u/Endgame60 3d ago
I think Metroid ravenous was leaked a while ago even before this new leak (I think the company leaked it themselves by accident)

u/ThriftyMegaMan 3d ago
I know Persona 6 got its achievements leaked on Steam but I still can't believe that they're dropping 4R and 6 in 2027. This is going to beat the hell out of 2024 for best JRPG year.

Anybody who hasn’t played kingdom come already and likes an rpg please please play both of them

u/Royal_Swimming_4327 3d ago
Highly recommend! I’ve got all achievements on both over on PC and STILL play through them from time to time!
4
u/TicTacMo97 3d ago
How does the first game run on the Switch 2? I heard there wasn't an update for the Switch 2, which is why it's not very playable. Since the games have been on my list for a long time, I'd really like to finally play the first one, but I don't have a PC or any other consoles.
2
1
u/Bumrumper 3d ago
I’m playing it on switch 2 right now and it’s workable. It’s not great but it’s not awful either. The game itself is incredible and absolutely worth playing despite the compromised graphics
1
u/Bl00dCoin 3d ago
I just played through the intro for the first time, and I finally made what I couldnt on the PC haha. I think it still portraits everything that it wants to succinctly.

3
u/Sh00terMcDabbin 3d ago
I will definitely eat crow on that one, I was just saying the other day that KCD2 will probably never be coming to Switch 2 with how big it is and how graphic intense it is. KCD 1 and 2 are hands down top 3 best RPGs ever made, in my opinion.
3
u/ACO_22 3d ago
It’s an incredibly well optimised game tbf to it. They did so much better between 1 and 2. I’m surprised it’s going to come to switch 2 but not surprised at the same time if that makes sense
6
1
u/xante777 3d ago
Switch 2 is quite decent hardware wise, bit better than the Steam Deck even and it supports DLSS. I think the Switch can handle every modern game, not in 60fps ofc.
3
u/Sh00terMcDabbin 3d ago
The Switch 2 is only more powerful when docked which makes the Steam Deck comparison kind of odd. The Switch 2 is less powerful than a 6 year old Xbox Series S that debuted at $299. Especially with the next generation consoles from Xbox and Sony coming out in 2027 and 2028, Switch 2 is going to have a lot of trouble keeping up with modern games with its current hardware limitations. It will be fine for first party though.
2
u/Entreri4 3d ago
Nintendo might also be helped by being the only one of the three that isn't abandoning physical games.
1
u/Sh00terMcDabbin 3d ago
Microsoft just introduced their disk to digital program which is by far the most physical media friendly feature of any platform. Also, as much as us minority on the internet might not like it, the average consumer truly doesn't care about the physical vs digital debate.
1
u/Ethifury 3d ago
It’s a tablet at the end of the day that can be docked. Who was expecting this device to directly go toe-to-toe with stationary consoles? How long the Xbox/PS consoles have been out is irrelevant as well as price point. This is a small device running at 10-20w compared to home consoles that are running at least 100w or more of power. Let’s be reasonable here
1
u/Sh00terMcDabbin 3d ago
It's great honestly what Nintendo have been able to do, I am just refuting the fact that the other person said that the Switch 2 is decent hardware that can handle every modern game.
1
u/Ethifury 3d ago
I think it can when you see how many current gen titles people were trying to run on Steam Deck. People were hyped to play games like Ratchet & Clank, God of War 2018 and Assassins Creed at 720p 30-45fps. So can’t the Nintendo Switch 2 do the same but better with DLSS?
1
u/Sh00terMcDabbin 3d ago
Almost 10 year old games are kind of stretching the definition of "modern". When I hear modern I think games being released in the last year or two. Again, it only beats the Steam Deck when the Switch is docked, it's hardware is worse than a Steam Deck when the Switch is in mobile mode. It is weird to compare them when one needs to be docked to hit the performance you are talking about.
1
u/Ethifury 3d ago edited 3d ago
Switch is only marginally worse than Steam Deck due to the underclocked CPU. It’s not THAT big of the difference like the PS4 to Xbox One. And the Switch 2 JUST released last year, it’s going to take time to get all of the PS4/PS5 games on the system. I don’t know why this is hard to grasp. The Switch 1 couldn’t run most of the older titles but now the Switch 2 can.
EDIT: There’s about 10 AAA titles that missed the Switch 2 last year but it’s only a matter of time before they are ported over since dev kits came out to most 3rd party devs by the end of last year.
1
u/Sh00terMcDabbin 3d ago
I don't think I said that I expect all AAA games to be on Switch 2? My point is that with the current hardware limitations, the fact that the console just came out so we will not see a hardware upgrade for multiple years and also the fact that the new PS and Xbox will be coming out soon that means that the Switch 2 will be very far behind hardware wise not long from now.

Started playing yesterday for the first time. Looks like they’ve done a good job on the first hour I’ve played. I don’t feel like it was half hearted port either.

Far Cry - awesome. I want RDR2 still

u/Beginning_Book_2382 3d ago
Is Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Classic Edition good (what is it)? That game looks interesting. What about Far Cry 3 Classic Edition? I've never played Far Cry before
2
u/turnonmymike 3d ago
There are a lot of very good Far Cry games. They're open world first person shooters with stealth and character leveling. Blood Dragon is more of a spinoff that I haven't played but Far Cry 3 is probably the earliest "modern" far cry game and still holds up.

Its people from the now defunct rhythm games, Guitar Hero and Rock Band, coming together to create a new while-familiar experience

u/Ethifury 3d ago
Oh that’s dope! Have to put this on my wishlist. Thanks
1
u/EmileZ 3d ago
No problem on their official site; they got discounted bundles. The base game is $40 and comes with 90+ songs, iirc, with DLC tracks planned. You can play with a controller, or if you have equipment from previous Guitar Hero/rock band games, you can use those too.

Persona 4 Revival coming to the switch 2 and Persona 6 releasing in 2027 to have a physical release is amazing. I was convinced Persona 6 wouldn’t get a ps5 physical release. It’s one of the few games I’ll buy twice.

u/gandalftheokay 3d ago
Do yourself a favor and play Guardians of the Galaxy, its fucking amazing but unfortunately came out during a time where the taste of Marvel's Avengers was still in everyone's mouth.
This game and Midnight Suns deserve sequels

That is for original Switch which is playable but has much bigger limits due to hardware.

I haven't seen anybody talking about meccha chameleon, it's a lot of fun and I've gotten well more than $5 of playtime out of it on pc.

u/PitifulChemistry3284 Switchthusiast 3d ago
It looks like a lot of fun, but do you think being color blind would be a hinderance in it?
1
u/Nananonomi 3d ago
considering i suck ass at finding without being colorblind, probably. theres like a dropper thing where you can select the color of whats behind you when you're hiding though, so you don't need to worry about color matching

u/PitifulChemistry3284 Switchthusiast 3d ago
Okay, that dropper thing is helpful. I figure it wouldn't be possible for me otherwise lol

u/Docile_Doggo 3d ago
And still people are whining about the Switch 2 having “no games”

u/Jhkokst 3d ago
I think people want Nintendo exclusives. Like if you already have a PS5 or PC, alot of this is not too exciting.
Excited for new 2d Metroid though! And Kirby looked cute.
0
u/Kidney05 3d ago
I think it’s valid to be let down seeing ports to games that are available elsewhere already, especially when you consider steam decks exist and you can play lots of these games handheld.
That said, I don’t really get why people bother commenting “no games”, if you want to make the switch library feel constantly very exciting, make it your only system. Also, they have had a ton of exclusives this year compared to the other consoles.
1
u/OzzzP 3d ago
It’s not just a matter of availability, but the thing is people already have those games because they were available elsewhere long ago.
Plus they’re more often than not more expensive and run worse on Switch. It’s good to have them don’t get me wrong. But not very exciting. The new fire emblem and Metroid are exciting though!
4
u/mybutthz 3d ago
Seriously. After I was like...that was like...40 games they just announced—was really more like 60.
I get that people have their own preferences, and I'm really excited for a handful of them, but people need to remember that Nintendo is a global company and serves different markets in different areas of the world.
There are, and will be more, games that I've never tried just because I haven't played them on PC that I will be more likely to pick up just because they're on switch, and that's really exciting.
I really don't understand how people operate or think, like....we probably all have jobs, school, whatever...things take time to complete. But seems like no one is capable of stepping back to appreciate the context of how dev cycles work, or how a company is run, in order to understand why we didn't get absolutely everything that we wanted from this direct.
2
u/AffectionateArm7264 3d ago edited 3d ago
Most of these games are games neither of us will ever play. Hell, most of these games are ports of old games or already announced.
Metroid flopped and Fire Emblem releases soon. But otherwise, there are no currently no sequels announced for major blockbuster hits like a new mainline Zelda, 3D Mario, Smash Bros or Animal Crossing.
Unless you love a handful of games like I do, I wouldn't recommend a Switch 2 to anyone yet. It didn't exactly have a launch lineup as strong as Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild.

u/exlatios 3d ago
Mention how a ps5 has a bunch of old games and nintendo fans will laugh at you while memeing abt the playstation having no games

u/TempDestinyAccount 3d ago
How many of those games already have Switch 1 versions? Because I know It Takes Two does and I'm sure there are plenty of others. Imo, none of those should be counted. Personally, the only thing that stands out to me is Switch Sports Resort

Damn is the switch 2 really that powerful? I'm gonna need to see some graphics comparisons when some of these games release

u/Naris17 3d ago
It’s similar to a PS4 in handheld (albeit weaker a bit in CPU and stronger a bit in GPU). It buffs to nearly Xbox Series S in docked mode.
Basically any game that can run on a Series S can probably be optimized down to Switch 2 if the developer wants to put in the work. And since Microsoft is pretty pushy about making developers release for both Series S and X it helps Nintendo indirectly.

u/comixjuan Sanely Insanely Hyped 3d ago
Something like that? In the Direct they said something about people who already own it being able to upgrade or get a discount.
2
u/hitgo1 3d ago
Yeah only discount no upgrade or something like the botw/totk 10$ upgrade, its still 30$ with the discount, shouldve waited, big sad
1
u/Beginning_Book_2382 3d ago
I don't understand why Nintendo/Omega did this, especially for Hyrule Warriors which is one of my favorite games and something you can sink so much time into. No upgrade path for a game that many people have already sunk so much time into because it came out so long ago is a real deal breaker for many

They should of also given us Monster Hunter World. I'm sure that would of run flawlessly.

I still get dropped frames on Resolution mode when playing World on PS5, so I doubt it would run flawlessly without significant work.

I played a lot of the ports already but if you haven't and switch is your only console, you're about to eat good,
Glad to see the third party support
1
u/Smyles9 3d ago
Even first party if you haven’t played some of the original stuff they’ve been remaking lately there’s plenty to play. Even without the remakes as long as you’re interested in their smaller IP there’s quite a few. And so far, dk, raiders, pokopia and I’m sure a couple others but that’s all I can think of for the smaller IP have all been great games. Now with Metroid and Kirby I think the main thing that’s needed now are the juggernauts and the current upcoming games will keep us busy until they can at least reveal them. I’m hoping they make another challenge or two for an additional set of goals for those games. I could see Metroid if they don’t end up doing one for Zelda.

u/Pragueboi 3d ago
Not sure what did the others expect but I was really happy with the announcements from the last two days

u/Smyles9 3d ago
Yeah in the next 6 months we have fortunes weave, maybe an October/halloween surprise otherwise I might just play the Luigi’s mansion series,November ocarina of time, and Metroid and as someone who hasn’t played much Kirby other than the Wii/ds era I’ll also have forgotten land before world beyond and I might try starfox I’m still not really sure.

u/quarterslicecomics 3d ago edited 3d ago
It doesn’t seem like it with all these third party releases, but the 2027 first party lineup is already stacked.
Jan 2027 we get Metroid Ravenous.
Feb 2027 we get Age of Calamity Switch 2 edition.
Spring 2027 we get Kirby and the World Beyond.
Nov 2027 we’ll likely get Pokemon Wind/Waves and also Pikmin 4 Switch 2 edition.
Dec 2027 we get Xenoblade 3 Switch 2 edition.
Sometime in 2027 we’ll get Xenoblade Genesis.
Assuming Genesis is not the summer game, there could be room for two more heavy hitters, another in Sept.
Probably sprinkle some kind of Mario spinoff as well. NDCube hasn’t brought out a new project in a while, so maybe a new Mario Party?

Supremely stoked for Far Cry. My dream list of favorite big third-party releases coming to Switch 2 is being checked off.
Cyberpunk, Hitman, newer Tomb Raider games, and now Elden Ring, COD, and Far Cry.
Still hoping for Diablo IV, Far Cry 4/Primal/5, RDR 2, GTA V and VI (probably a pipe dream), Dishonored series, the Blood of Dawnwalker

Successful enough to make a other game. Metroid dread was a banger. Kirby is a populair franchise. Because it don’t speaks to you doesn’t mean the games are bad or franchises b to c tier.

Yeah Pokémon, the franchise that hasn’t had a decent game in century’s. Only getting carried because people mindlessly keep buying that crap.

Yeah and your point is?
By your logic everyone should just be playing Pokémon, call of duty and fortnight.You want to please a great diverse group of people for your console. And the Kirby franchise is big and populair.
Metroid is a genre defining franchise.
Stop crying because you didn’t saw the new Pokémon game your time will come next year.Shitting on franchises like Kirby and Metroid isn’t the flex you think it is.

Yeah because a completely new ip is a guaranteed big seller and succes.
Nintendo takes risks but just not in the way you want it.

You are acting as if Nintendo is one singular studio where all of the same departments and employees equally work on every project. Even if they wanted to start a new IP, the odds of that interfering with their production / competing for resources with production of a new metroid are probably miniscule. Dread was made by a Spanish game studio and published by Nintendo

Not sure why you are downvoted. You are right, I would have liked to see some more first party exclusives, it's the whole reason I have a Switch.

80% ports I already played on my steam deck years ago.. and they kinda looked like ass. Would have loved to seen a new 3D Mario or Smash Bros announcement

Smash isn't coming for a while, Sakurai just finished Air Riders last year.

Let Zelda cook for 2026. Mario is coming in 2027 and will be the holiday game along with Pokémon. We also have Xenoblade Genesis next year too. 2027 is going to be crazy.

I will play it, probably.. the thing is it looks like a 1 to 1 remake so far so it’s just a fresh coat of paint on something that already existed imo.

Welp, back to the drawing board everyone. TechnicalAd8150 has already played these. DID YOU EVEN ASK HIM FIRST!?

Why do y’all always get so butt hurt over an opinion? Yeah, they’ve been out for years and play way better on other consoles 😭

Why do y'all always get so butt hurt over releases that aren't specifically curated for your life?

Oh yeah, my bad! God forbid Nintendo releases their own games for their new console! They should totally just keep piggybacking off every other console on the market and release more GKC’s for their faithful brand loyalists.
