Branded switch backpacks? Oh kay. This is getting ridiculous.

What do we want?!? Games! When will we get them?!? Sometimes in the future, but buy our branded gear for now!

Having official cases for mobile consoles has always been a thing. Why single the Switch out for this?

Also, launch lineups are very rarely good. What matters is the game support on the long run, and we can't say how it will go for the Switch yet. (Although I think it's safe to assume western third party support will be close to non-existent as usual).

As far as third party support, Nintendo's publishing Zelda Breath of the Wild, 1 2 Switch, Snipperclips, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (although I feel this one will be delayed).

And that's only announced titles on the Switch event. Remember, E3 is 3 months after the Switch launches, so it wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo still had a few games in store for this year, and / or early 2018.

Not a spectacular first year, but not a terrible one, either.

Having branded gear typically happens post launch. And the Switch software support is worse than the wiiu, which means it's the worst in decades.

The issue is that this is a very common issue with nintendo, a focus on products related to gaming rather than the actual games. Amiibos, Pokemon Go wrist devices that didn't even work at launch, branded products up the wazoo. Nintendo is not showing even close to the same level of support for games but they focus more than Microsoft and Sony combined on branded products.

All I want for Pokémon's birthday is Pokémon Ranger on the Switch 2

The Switch 2’s release and Pokémon’s 30th anniversary could create the perfect storm for a Pokémon Ranger revival after 15 years of silence.

nice improvement to the clarity. Really makes everything look less blurry, especially in the distance.

really hope we see more free improvements like this on Switch 1 games.

First game I played on Switch 2. Much sharper and cleaner image compared to the original.

A lot of games that have no official Switch 2 update already run WAY better just from the hardware itself. It's fantastic getting to play all these games in a much better state. So glad I hardly played any of my Switch collection over the years, lol. This will make experiencing them for the first time so much better.

A nice resolution upgrade to one of my fav games but i’m still not buying the Switch “2”

darthv729h ago(Edited 9h ago)

This and Mario/Bowser are ones I will pop in later. I hope other devs offer some patches, like xenon racer on SW1 is 30fps and it really is better at 60.

Great it was 60 frames on switch 1 though. Definitely sacrificed resolution however.

Neonridr7h ago

I mean it targeted 60 on the Switch 1, but it wasn't always solid.

I’ll never know why fans let Nintendo get away with not competing graphically and never putting their games on sale.

Chard4h ago

Unfortunately the games are fun. They’ve got us by the balls

GhostScholar2h ago

I’m a fan of their exclusives as well but if the hardware had the same capabilities as the x and ps5 and I could have all the third party stuff plus the Nintendo exclusives it would be my main console
