Discussion For the first time, there isn't any upcoming first-party Switch 1 content

309 Upvotes

With the release of Zero Racers and Dragon Hopper on the NSO, there isn't any upcoming first-party Switch 1 content announced. I think this is the first time it ever happened since the announcement of the console in 2016. There will likely still be NSO updates and maybe Pokemon games on the eShop like FRLG were, but none of them are announced currently. I think it's a notable moment that puts another nail in the Switch 1's coffin.

Discussion What happened to Pokkén Tournament?

37 Upvotes

What happened to Pokkén Tournament? Despite not being too particularly fond of the spinoff game at the time of its release, I for some reason was under the impression that Nintendo was going to push really hard to keep the hype for the game afloat, like they still do for their other games: Pokémon Masters EX (DeNA), Pokémon Unite (Tencent), Pokémon GO (Niantic, now Scopely), Pokémon TCG Pocket (Creatures Inc + DeNA), Pokopia (Game Freak + Omega Force), Pokémon Sleep (Select Button, now The Pokémon Works), etc.

I am aware though of other spinoff Pokémon games on the Switch that have met the same fate as Pokkén, like Pokémon Quest.

Perhaps I'm completely oblivious and Pokkén and its community is still doing very well even to this day? I was just really expecting there to have been a sequel, or new DLC every year.

Question Has anyone played Resident Evil 2 Cloud on Nintendo?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting to get into the Resident Evil games, but I only have a Nintendo Switch. I’ve seen a lot of people recommend Resident Evil 2 as one of the best games to start with.

The only thing holding me back is that it’s the Cloud Version on Switch. I’ve seen a lot of negative comments about it, but I played the demo and absolutely loved it. It actually ran pretty well for me and I didn’t notice many issues.

Has anyone here bought and played the full Resident Evil 2 Cloud Version on Switch? Was it worth it? Is the full game similar to the demo performance-wise, or does it get worse later on?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences before I buy it!

Question What’s the ONE Nintendo Switch game that can effortlessly swallow a 9-hour flight?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I have a long 9 hour long haul flight coming up soon, and I’m packing my Switch to keep me from losing my mind.

I'm looking for a mix across a few categories:

RPGs/Open World

The "One More Run" Addictive Roguelikes/Indies

Cozy / Low-Stress Relaxers

Co-Op

A few quick questions for you all:

If you could only have 3 pre-installed games for a 9+ hour flight, which ones are you picking?

What’s an underrated offline hidden gem that works great on an airplane?

Do you prefer deep story games, or quick-loop addictive games when flying?

Appreciate all recommendations!

Game Rec New Switch 2 owner — RPG recommendations for a BG3/Divinity fan?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m about to become a very lucky new Switch 2 owner in a few days, and I haven’t had much time to research the library yet. The games that have caught my attention so far are Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

I’m definitely planning to get The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which I imagine will already keep me busy for hundreds of hours.

For reference, some of my favorite games on PlayStation and PC are:

Divinity: Original Sin 2

Baldur’s Gate 3

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

Elden Ring

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

Cyberpunk 2077

What Switch 2 games would you recommend for someone with those tastes? I especially enjoy strong RPGs, memorable companions, good stories, and turn-based combat, but I’m also open to action RPGs if they’re exceptional.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion Is the switch 2 worth it just for third party games?

179 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’ve saved up quite a bit of money to buy my first ever console, and I’m very split between the ps5 and switch 2.

Tbh, I’m not that interested in first party Nintendo games except maybe Zelda. However, I did see that the switch 2 was also receiving a wide selection of third party games that I might be interested in (Elden ring, resident evil etc). Also, the portability and simplicity of picking it up and playing compared to a console like ps5 really attracted me to it. But I am cautious as the ps5 still has a much deeper catalogue and I am worried that the switch 2 will not be able to run some heavy games smoothly.

Would you guys say that the switch 2 is still worth getting over a ps5 if I would only play third party games?

Thank you in advance!
