Nintendo Switch 2

[Mike S]

An interesting story but it doesn’t explicitly mean what’s happening is what we all are wanting to happen. This article doesn’t really go into the details I’ve seen brought up in some videos namely RGT85.

Switch 2 to get bigger, better game cards

Macaroni to use a mix of its MLC NAND and outsourced 3D NAND, depending on how much space is needed, for upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game cards.

So Drag X Drive is out today for $20.

I think I’ll spend $15 to get the Turok trilogy instead.

So Drag X Drive is out today for $20.

I think I’ll spend $15 to get the Turok trilogy instead.

Wait, Drag X Drive is only $20? Still not gonna get it but I assumed it would either be 40 or 70.

I’m still just playing Minecraft and Bananza postgame. I’m so ready for Prime 4… also still praying they shadow drop 2+3 remastered at the next Direct and announce the Prime 4 release date so I can catch up.

Also Animal Crossing… I’ve started a new Wild World town, which is usually a sign that we’re in an Animal Crossing drought. Surely it’ll be Spring 2026, there aren’t that many series that make sense to get new games rn but New Horizons is almost five and a half years old and the AC team has historically started development on each new game almost as soon as the last one releases.

It would be literally the PERFECT game to market GameChat with, they could show it in every single ad and people would immediately understand what GameChat is for. It’s most likely the only game I’ll ever use it for.

I wouldn’t mind waiting on Prime 3 Remastered. All I’d need on the remaster front is 2 with a free Switch 2 update for both it and 1 like they did with Mario Odyssey and other games.

With a date now confirmed for Kirby (November 20th) that leaves September or December as the only choices for Metroid Prime 4 if it’s not delayed into next year.

Kirby Air Riders coming 20th November

Masahiro Sakurai announced during the content-packed Kirby Air Riders-themed Nintendo Direct that fans will be able to get their hands on Kirby Air Riders on 20th November. The game contains a wealth…

We have seen quite a bit of the game already so technically they could just drop the date soon if it’s next month but I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Edit: I’m also loving how so much of Nintendo’s games are being given actual songs with lyrics lol

I'm surprised we haven't gotten an announcement of Sea of Thieves for Switch 2. Of all the current Microsoft games, I definitely feel like that would have an audience on the platform.

Hmmmmmm…. True.

Off the top of my head? All the talk of not every dev getting dev kits seems true. Putting a little more thought into it, what if they’re currently in the process of porting it but can’t show it just yet because they want to showcase it with heavy GameChat integration? It seems like one of the most perfect games for it and it could potentially get more attention if announced and released next year.

Not good. Bandai Namco can’t seem to make good Switch 2 ports.

Very nice. I was prepared to buy this digitally but maybe now I might go physical. I didn’t even know if it would be physical or not at launch.

Donkey Kong Bananza is my only physical Switch 2 game so far and the only other one on the near horizon is Metroid.

Yooka-Replaylee seemingly includes full game on the cartridge

One game which has seemingly steered away from the controversial Game-Key Card format is Playtonic’s upcoming Yooka-Replaylee. The remake of the original 3D platformer appears to contain the full game…

"I'm going to say it right now, this is the best looking thing I've seen on Switch 2. Seeing that game running at a stable 30 frames per second, with that excellent motion blur especially, it looked fantastic.

It was completely stable. It looked on par, actually, I would say it looks better than the PS4 version at a glance... It's going to fall somewhere between the PS4 and PS5 versions... The image quality was absolutely superb. It matched the 1080p screen. I was really, really happy about that."

Thoughts on FFVII Remake have come with Digital Foundry.

I wonder which big devs still don’t have one. It seems like every major company has at least one game coming right now.

Gamescom 2025 has been and gone and it seems a lot of developers who attended the large gaming show have been unable to get Nintendo Switch 2 development kits. Digital Foundry said that it spoke to a…
