A new 3D Super Mario game and a Zelda remake are rumored for Nintendo Switch 2, alongside Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Console Creatures writes, "The Nintendo Switch 2 Experience came to Toronto, and fans could get hands-on with the Switch 2. It's a solid machine with some logical upgrades, and we're eager for June to arrive."
The official Nintendo magazine in Japan has received a special Switch 2 issue to celebrate the console's upcoming launch.
Skewed and Reviewed have posted an Opinion Piece covering why they are not on the hype train for the Nintendo Switch 2 and will not be buying a system while recognizing it will appeal to Switch fans.
This article reads like it was written by a 15 year old fan boy.
Jesus.
"There are also concerns about the P.R. side of things as their P.R. firm has a history of playing bait and switch (no pun intended) with us and other sites but that does not factor in for me it is simply a mater of I am not a fan of mobile gaming and for me, the Switch 2 is an overpriced and under-powered system compared to my PC and PS5 and I would rather wait and see what is offered by Sony for my next console as I believe there will be far more compelling titles that are going to feature more advanced graphics and online play."
the longest run-on sentence ever.
Funny considering most feedback agrees with my points on Facebook and the other platforms. It is also interesting that people who do not agree with a viewpoint opt for personal attacks versus intelligent discourse and valid rebuttals.
if this is your article then you need it to come across as less fanboy-ish. You need to be able to take criticisms and not blindly defend your points of view as "matter of fact"
I don't like the Switch 2 because it doesn't have photo-realistic graphics? So I assume you reviewed Astro-Bot very poorly, right? Nintendo has never been in the power game, not since the Gamecube days (and even then the original Xbox was more powerful). Metroid Prime 4 looks awesome, and while it's not going to compete with Halo or Horizon, the visual style looks perfect for the game that it is.
Facebook is a cesspool of conspiracy theorists and online hate, so I wouldn't use that as a valid backing point. People on FB thought that covid was fake and that the vaccines gave you 5G.
You used poor 3rd party representation of the Switch as to why you won't like the Switch 2, which makes no sense as we are seeing plenty of 3rd party games running on the system and looking just fine in the process.
You could have simply said that you weren't getting a Switch 2 because you are a PlayStation gamer, and it would have made more sense than what you wrote. Sorry for bursting your bubble.
I mean Nintendo has taken this route for literally decades now, just seems like an odd reason to write an article about especially when their products don't appeal to you to begin with.
That's the thing about those platforms you find users exist in a echo chamber and don't actually see what the rest of the world thinks
That’s due to you seeking validation in other places. Here you will have to try a bit harder. Facebook is an echo chamber social media. This is a video game website.
You'll find that Neonridr is the first poster in many Nintendo / Switch 2 threads that have a negative slant or set Nintendo up for criticism, trying to get the damage control in before anyone else can comment.
I've noticed it many times over the last few weeks but refrained from commenting until now, as this time it's a grammar police angle.
Of course most feedback agrees with you, since you targeted the same dumbass fanboys that have plagued this site and many others for years now. If you aren't a Sony sponsored shill then God damn you sure know how to act like one. Is my take too offensive for you? Will i get "canceled" for having "an opposing view"?
ZERO F**ks given. Sick and tired of trying to enjoy gaming and talk to other like minded gamers, but have to wade through waves and waves of you Brainrot Corporate brand headpieces that think that by Catering and Pandering to the Fanboy masses, you wont have your "boat" overturned at some point. There is no reasoning with people like you (or at least who you "support". they have been conditioned over years and years of: "We are the good guys, the coool guys, and we will always give you what you want" You know when was the last time a company adhered to the frame of mind, AND delivered: SEGA and look what happened to them. Sony for years watched how both Nintendo operated and always wanted that crown for themselves, and emplyoyed every dirty tactic in the book (including creating you blind gullible subservients) to reach to this point. Now where has that gotten you? Paying $700 for subpar PC clone that has you playing last gen titles with few embellishments and buying the same remastered game (every time more expensive) for you to gawk over the added res/effects. As far back as PS3, (when you decided xbox was the target) Sony and the PS brand has only left in its wake a legion of zombie trolls that always resides in places like this to spew more BS like its some sort of magic bullet. Dont worry, Sony fans games and new systems will come, Since Switch 2 is coming out soon they will have something to copy (or buy someone to copy) cause they sure as shit cant Create anything. If their life depended on it.
@rage77 I'm feeling that about n4g a lot lately conversations are one sided and becoming fairly toxic were no longer posting about the games but seemingly in a perpetual console war.
User engagement seems to have suffered to I've barely engaged and commented on n4g this month and in top 20 in engagement that to me isn't a good sign.
Great articles just don't get approved if they are negative of Sony or pro Xbox this article is a good example it's just flame bait article.
I'm getting so over the hostility on this site after close to 20 years I've never been close to just disengaging.
The article that I just read had a period after "not a fan of mobile gaming." The next sentence started with "For me,"
Also, the next part about "wait and see" is in another paragraph. And please, leave Jesus out of it. Thank you
Good article.
I have zero interest in any of the Nintendo consoles. I view them as family console.
If you knew some of the adult visual novels on Switch then you're idea would change quickly, lol
I think, as the author says himself at the end of the article, this system isn’t aimed at him, fair enough. If you prefer PlayStation and PC gaming and flashy graphics over portability and Nintendo first party games, then you are certainly not the target.
Personally I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I have a PS5 Pro, PlayStation Portal, Series X, gaming laptop, Steam Deck and Legion Go in the current generation and I like them all for different reasons.
The Switch 2, much like its predecessor will primarily, but not exclusively, be for Nintendo first party games. Having spent well over 200 hours with Breath of the Wild on Switch, not to mention dozens of other games I’ve really enjoyed at home and away from home, I don’t doubt there will be similarly enjoyable games in the S2 lifetime.
To start, Mario Kart World, Fast Fusion, Donkey Kong Bananza and even Cyberpunk (despite already owning it on 3 other platforms), have all been pre-ordered and Metroid Prime 4 has been a long, long wait but I’m glad it’s almost here.
I enjoy a beautifully rendered, fully ray-traced game world as much the next guy, but hell, I started with Pong in 1978, graphics take a distant second place to enjoyable gameplay to me, then and now.
I didnt find the switch 1 amazon, its still Nintendo doing what Nintendo does. So after a year of owning my switch it went in a draw and did not get used much.
I much prefer the route of the steam deck, so i don't see myself getting a switch 2 any time soon.
I like Nintendo console/handhelds generally. The 2 problems for me is not the console itself but the game prices and the key cards with no games on them. That’s a big turnoff
Thats my biggest gripe as well, at this point the prices and key cards is a dealbreaker for me. Time will tell how many games are just a key on a card though, I might reconsider down the line if key cards are a minority.
Come on Ocarina, Majora's Mask or Link to the Past.
Yeah... that'll definitely make the switch 2 hit close or more than switch 1 in its first year if these were to be launch or close to launch games. Mario Kart 9 would make it for sure.
Hoping for a new 3D Super Mario game on NS2 launch, just like what they did on Switch.
Damn imagine if all of this is true and Sliksong as a launch title or at the very least a NS2 exclusive that will launch in the same year. Nintendo has won. I don't even know what they won but hey goddamn WON son.
i dont mind this at all, ive always wanted more zelda remakes that are not 3ds games ha
