The Nintendo Switch 2 is so popular that even MicroSD cards are selling out in both online and physical stores.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "PAX East was remarkable for a lot of reasons this year, but the appearance of a playable demo of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake made it truly special. For approximately 30 minutes, I played through select scenes from the revamped versions of both Dragon Quest I and II, to get a grasp on what role-playing adventures await us on October 30, when the package arrives on all current-gen systems, including Switch 2."
No physical Switch 2 cart pass. Had to tell them off on Bluesky:
1nfernus.bsky.social
"Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD-2D Remake coming to Switch 2, but physical version is just a download key"
2 words FUCK YOU Square Enix. Shove your Key Card bullshit up your ass. No Denuvo then, I'm torrenting your game on PC. If buying isn't owning piracy isn't stealing."
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time offers a cozy single-player experience with flexible jobs and lots to do.
Shin'en weighs in about Fast Fusion, including new rendering tech for the game and how it implemented GameShare, which was "difficult".
Imagine this stubborn nintendo-fan dev would release their games for pc, playstation and xbox and realizes how much power is there to use for the games instead of the ages old nintendo tech.
Interviewed him years ago and was surprised how much of a fanboy he is.
Poor 👶. Shame on the dev for continuing to do what works for them and not what some faceless armchair analyst thinks they should do. Apparently your interview had zero impact. Get serious. 🤣
Aye, just like his games had and have no impact on my wallet, or on any gamers who do not want to buy a Nintendo console for a few exclusive games :-)
Gameshare is a nice feature! You can use Switch 1 to play this game using the power of Switch 2? Let's wait if the game will be stable using that feature.
These devs do really good work with lesser tech. It reminds me of the old days, where figuring out new ways around limitations was the real test of a devs creativity. That was when you saw amazing games on hardware you never though was capable of delivering.
Would love to see a proper physical release... like Fast RMX before it, but without the FOMO
1tb cards appear to be hitting the market now I'm going to hold off the internal storage should be sufficient for me personally for a few months most of my switch 1 games are physical
So popular, that STILL in Australia you can preorder both Switch bundles. They are not sold out here.
I'm not saying because it's like that here that it's the same in other places, but I am saying it's not the best sign. Hold your horses on saying how popular it is at this point.
Forget the PS5 and covid and what entailed there for sales. BUT think about the PS4, that sold out in minutes in Australia.
This Switch 2 is not that much different than the previous one, and it's friggin expensive to boot. I know Switch one sold so well, but the jury is out on this one until real sales numbers start coming in after launch. That's when we can judge how "popular" it is.
but ...
people are gonna have a rude awakening when they realise that they need micro express sd cards and others wont work for the switch 2 ha.
