*** Nintendo Switch ***

Ouch. Those controls

Yep, they were rough. That's what put me off the game.

 

[Noxia]

That would be cool, but what makes you think that will happen ?

Just like the switch 'Pro' itself, it's been rumoured every single year since the switch came out. So eventually it may be right and then people can say told you so (despite saying so for the last 7 years)

I've been hoping for Windwaker HD for so long. If it does come out this year then that's enough for me until the Switch 2. Got loads in the backlog anyway so I'd be set for a good while.

I have to say I play the Switch handheld about 99% of the time but plugged in last night; Mario Wonder looks gorgeous on a big screen!
Who needs massive, 3D visuals!

The Nintendo first party titles generally pop on a big screen. Mario vs Rabbids was another one I seem to remember. You don’t need 4k for a game to look amazing.

I wonder will we get any news on XB games. Hi-fi Rush could be amazing on Switch.

Grounded (16/04) and Pentiment (22/02) are incoming as the first two Xbox Game Studio titles from the four mentioned to be coming to other consoles.

The only thing I got excited from the Nintendo direct is Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance going multi-platform.
My body is ready to jump back in to replay it with better performance.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed! Really excited for that.

 

[Spacedeck]

Out of the games shown, this is the one that captured my interest the most. I never played the previous games but this looks super relaxing.

If anyone hasn't got it yet, Portal 1+2 are about £5 on the eshop at the moment.

I don’t think I’ve ever sat their and used the Switch as a handheld for more than a few minutes. Much prefer it on the TV.

Exactly the opposite. TV just highlighted the technical shortcomings more.

 

[Plainsong]

Yeah same probably spent 80% hand held with this console and most of that TV time was Mario kart and Zelda.

 

[fez]

I spend 90% of my time with it on the TV too. A good game means the GFX failings fall into the background quickly and the Nintendo AAA first party games have brilliant GFX. They know how to make stuff look great without taxing the HW too much generally.

 

[kakarott]

Apart from killer instinct, couldn't care. Where's banjo, dk64, perfect dark and diddy kong racing?

Wanted to enjoy this when it was first released on Switch, but the poor performance/low frame rate was disappointing. I think I'll end up picking this up on PS5, unless Nintendo make an official announcement of the Switch 2 ( with backwards compatibility ) !
