Nice try anon. That game was trash and you don't get to clean its rep by pointing to recent disappointments.

>>10400
Super Mario Odyssey was critically acclaimed.

>>10289
Because I don't use CPUs with government backdoors built into them and sadly the power necessary to emulate more recent consoles is just too much for my old 2014 CPU.

>>10400
Except it was kino
>>10401
It was shit, fuck the critics, fuck modern baby games.

>>10408
Bad platforming due to squirtgun gimmick, gimped physics compared to SM64 (Galaxy shares this downgrade sadly), restrictive levels compared to SM64, and extreme lack of content padded out with blue coins. It was trash you shit-eating toddler.

>>10401
So was Gone Home.

>>10408
>It was shit, fuck the critics, fuck modern baby games.
A little kid would have a lot of difficulty 100%ing SMO, it has the right balance of challenge.

>>10214
They finally uploaded something about Wario Land!1!!!11 a fucking rom dumped into the Shit's Online Services they cracked the code and just release the same fucking game over and over.

>>10410
Wrong but it feels rushed towards the half

>>10410
I don't know how to call this, but there's a moment when you had it enough and yet the game keeps delivering missions that are total bullshit, GTA games are also guilty of this, overwhelming slop? Fuck the French Pinball and the acid lake levels, I don't think anyone would miss them if they go unused.

>>10521
>rushed towards the half
Perhaps every Mario mainline suffers from this. In Odyssey once you reach the last level: all the NPC's from the other worlds are scattered around clashing the shit out of the stage's artstyle, something done by a child when shitting out random assets in Unreal Engine.

Odyssey fans be like
>Yooooo this shit is fire!!!!!!

>>10214
Dup fucked over the slave owners at Chayna with his tariffs and now the Nintendo will raise the price of the Switch 2.
YOU WON'T BE ABLE MORE TOYS
IT'S OVER

>>10819
Switch 2 will be $349, they are keeping the price low to boost early adoptions.

>>10819
I hope so. The seething from the nintoddlers is the shitch 2 got a massive price hike would be fun. They'd still pay it though.

>>10820
>>10819
>>10821
lowest leaks estimate $400

>>10836
Mario Kart 9 bundle will be $399. The core system will be $349.

>>10819

rofl, did a butthurt CEO make this? Luigi is actually a folk hero in prison.

>>10854
That or someone who identifies as a communist revolutionary while worshiping corporations that put pedophile flags in their twitter bio for one month a year.

>>10871
>Marxists sucking off to corporations
Definitely.

>>10840
>The core system will be $349.
Will it still be an underpowered piece of shit that can't run the games made solely for it?

>>10914
What games made for it didn't run well on Switch?

>>10917
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet performs really poorly and is near og Skyrim levels of buggy

>>10918
To elaborate, Legends Arceus and Scarlet Violet, like many switch games, have a target FPS of 30. Arceus typically runs around 25 and SV typically runs around 20.

>>10918
>>10919
Any other examples besides pokemon shovelware?

Average Nintendo enjoyer

>>10919
Didn't the open world slop Zelda games run like shit too?

>>10922
No.

>>10923
Yes they did pretendo shill, Fire emblem would crash from loading and Smash ultimate had to make collectables all jpgs cause the soytch can't handle to many polygons.

>>10922
>>10923
Runs at a buttery smooth 30ps… while looking much worse than Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess. Breath of the Mild has to be one of the most overrated games of all time

>>10924
Spirits were 2D art as a design choice, and since they're not actual characters in the gameplay, it wouldn't have made sense to create thousands of 3D models of them for the menus.
>>10926
>Runs at a buttery smooth 30ps… while looking much worse than Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.

>>10920
witcher 3 runs at 20 fps in populated areas, but that game is a miracle port

>>10931
Witcher 3 is regarded as one of the best if not the best optimized downgrade ports for Switch.

>>10932
Yeah that's right, and it still runs like shit.
FUCK PRETENDO!

>>10933
>Yeah that's right, and it still runs like shit.
It's not perfect, but it's not bad. I own it. Picked it up on sale. They utilized the hardware to its fullest extent. I respect that.

>>10932
>>10934
>Witcher 3 is regarded as one of the best if not the best optimized downgrade ports for Switch.
>They utilized the hardware to its fullest extent. I respect that.
I love lasagna too

>>10926
>looking much worse than Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess
I'm guessing you're talking about the HD remasters of those games. Yeah, they look nice upscaled to 1080p (native) and retextured. Much nicer art styles as well. Nintendo sucks ass.

>>10940
one switch port (and sequels) that have really bothered me is xenoblade, the original wii game is incredible in every way, but the remake and switch sequels look so bland
I can at least appreciate Xenoblade X for trying to do something new

>>10942
so I just looked it up and xenoblade x port also looks worse compared to the wii u original
the artistic vision is completely gone

Switch 2 has an extra USB-C on top, this is going to be for some kind of dual-screen setup, perhaps for playing DS and 3DS games.

There's a new Mario Kart lego set coming out May 15th, so some people were speculating that the Switch 2 launch may be coinciding with that, with Mario Kart 9 as the flagship launch title.

The price of the Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the hottest topics within the video game industry. Analysts have told IGN they expect Nintendo's next-gen console to launch at $400, and a new Bloomberg report reaffirms that price range, based on Japan-focused analyst predictions.

A $400 price point would be significantly higher than the original Switch, and another analyst told Bloomberg they wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo went even higher, potentially to $499. But the analysts expect Switch 2 to enjoy a massive launch, maybe even the biggest console launch of all time, "regardless of price."

"They will sell boatloads of Switch 2 in the first months in particular, almost regardless of the price," Tokyo analyst Serkan Toto told Bloomberg.

One of the reasons Switch 2 will be so popular during its launch period is because of huge demand for its launch line-up of games. Toto expects a new Mario Kart, as teased by Nintendo itself when it revealed the Switch 2, a new 3D Mario game, as well as the already announced Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4, all released during the Switch 2's first year of life. Toto also expects third-party support to include Call of Duty from Activision.

There is a long list of rumored third-party titles coming to the console, and in an interview with IGN, Civilization 7 developer Firaxis called Switch 2's apparent Joy-Con mouse mode "definitely intriguing." French video game and accessories maker Nacon, publisher of the likes of Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City, has said it has Switch 2 games ready to go. The long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong is also rumored to be set for Switch 2. And last month, EA said Madden, FC, and The Sims would all be a great fit for Switch 2.

It's worth noting Activision has yet to announce its Switch 2 plans, and Nintendo hasn't commented on the report.

When will Switch 2 release? June 2025 is increasingly coming up not just online, but in games media circles. One Japan-based analyst, Robin Zhu of Sanford C. Bernstein, told Bloomberg the Switch 2 is expected to release in June, with first-day inventory of 6-8 million units. If Nintendo burns through that stock the Switch 2 will have no problem selling faster than its predecessor and the PlayStation 4 and 5, breaking records along the way.

According to Nate the Hate, a number of Switch 2 games are coming from Ubisoft, including a port of Assassin's Creed Mirage in the console's launch window. The upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows, currently only down for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, is also reportedly coming to Switch 2, although at a later date outside the launch window.

Other Ubisoft ports allegedly include games from The Division series and Rainbow Six Siege. The Mario + Rabbids games are also reportedly coming to Switch 2, potentially in a single package, which wouldn't come as much of a surprise given the Nintendo link and previous comments from Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot.

Nate the Hate also reported that Konami is preparing a Switch 2 port of Metal Gear Solid Delta, which is due out at some point this year. Nate the Hate suggested it may launch day and date on Switch 2.

In a previous podcast, Nate the Hate said a number of Xbox games are coming to Switch 2, including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Windows Central's Jez Corden subsequently corroborated that report, saying it's likely that most, if not all Xbox games, will launch on Switch 2 if the console is able to run them well enough.

We can make some informed speculation ourselves about what to expect on Switch 2. It seems likely that games Nintendo has announced as coming to the Switch this year and beyond will also make their way to the Switch 2. Metroid Prime 4, for example, is a safe bet. As is Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam. The question is, will these games look and play significantly better on the Switch 2 compared to the Switch?

Are they seriously not pulling actual lego figurines only those brick abominations?

>>11039
Nice pictures, anon, sometimes it's interesting to see the rare kino that pops up on twitter.

Gamecube games for Nintendo Switch Online all but confirmed.

>>11044
Oh wow, I mean you could get a decent 64-bit laptop and play them on the get go including the stuff they don't have rights to or from defunct companies, the Shitcube has been cracked for a while and all you need is to figure out Dolphin's choppy audio.

>>11045
It's an option but the emulation on NSO is 100% accurate, there's no glitches or messing around with trying to get it to work properly. Plus, you get it all on the go in a handheld. The only problem I have with NSO is its limited library, although I've had a good time with some N64 games on there I didn't get around to completing in my youth.

>>11045
>all you need is to figure out Dolphin's choppy audio
There's no choppy audio. Gamecube games were designed to run at a refresh rate to 59.94hz (NTSC standard), so configure your monitor accordingly.
>>11046
>emulation on NSO is 100% accurate
That's absolutely not true, the input lag is abysmal and the games are upscaled to an ugly degree.

>That's absolutely not true, the input lag is abysmal and the games are upscaled to an ugly degree.
I would've liked a CRT filter on the N64 app like the SNES one has. As far as the controls, the only game I've had a problem with so far was Turok 2, it just doesn't seem right, the experience might be improved if you buy the N64 controller.
