VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Switch isn't aimed at the hardcore gamer, often characterized as a basement dweller whose only non-gaming priority is a steady supply of Mountain Dew. Neither is Switch aimed at the casual gamer, seen as a nursing home resident or soccer mom with a severely impaired frontal lobe. Switch, like every other video game system on the planet, is aimed at both groups, which are far more amorphous and unpredictable than forum-goers and incendiary columnists might suggest. Importantly, it's also aimed at what could be described as lapsed gamers."
"
Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is undoubtedly the best way to play one of the greatest games of all time. The visual and performance enhancements remove any issues that you may have had to endure with the original game. It's practically flawless from that perspective.
Sadly, the Zelda Notes app really brings the whole thing down. Useful features that should have been implemented in-game have been relegated to your smartphone, and using it completely breaks immersion in this incredible world. I'm only thankful that it's not even remotely mandatory. Leave Zelda Notes to one side, and you've got the definitive presentation of a modern classic." - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
Super Mario Odyssey gets a major technical update for Nintendo Switch 2, featuring upscaled 4K resolution, improved visuals, and stable 60 FPS performance.
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”
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.
I’ll never know why fans let Nintendo get away with not competing graphically and never putting their games on sale.
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
@GhostScholar - if the Switch 2 had the same capabilities as the X and PS5 it would cost over $1000 and the battery would last for 5 minutes.
NE: "We're looking at every single Nintendo franchise on Switch and evaluating how they grew and changed during the Switch's life cycle."
I don't really agree.
Hardcore gamer for me is someone who wants to play great games on any system, which gamer wouldn't want to play games on a Switch, I can't wait to have a go, I haven't been this excited about a console since the original PlayStation.
* I play games on PC,Wii U,XB1,PS4,Vita,3DS,PSP & soon to be Switch.
Not sure what class that puts me in but I love games and play the ones that interest me.
It just so happens that a ton of games on multiple consoles/handelds & PC interest me.
Not sure how anybody can call themselves a "hardcore" gamer when you play like 3-4 games ever.
like every other balanced gamer on earth, ill wait for games i want to be exclusively available there, mostly rpgs. If not, ill pass. got plenty on my plate as it is.
