The Switch 2 Has Big Shoes To Fill

The Nintendo Switch’s impact on gaming is as obvious as it is undeniable. Currently the third best-selling console of all-time, it has an impressive library of hundreds first and third-party games. But perhaps its biggest contribution to gaming was its ability to amplify indie games. There are no hard numbers, but the Switch is perhaps the best place for indie developers to list their games. The only contender for better marketplace for indies is Steam, with a huge and varied audience that are willing to try new and unique games of all types. Many indie developers have repeatedly said they sell more games on Switch than anywhere else, with others not even bothering to release their game on PlayStation or Xbox consoles.

I don't care for the games that are going to run kinda crappy (Cyberpunk) that could easily look far better visually and in smoothness on my PC, Switch 2 needs to bring the first party games with plenty of content.. The third party games that run well on lightweight hardware are fine.

The key cards are gonna bite Nintendo in the ass and I won't buy a single one, what's worse is that to get a proper physical release of a game it would mean buying a Switch 1 version instead, and then what? Limited to max resolution of 1080p on unpatched games (there'll probably be loads) and lower textures. You'd think at least all the 2D games would get an auto resolution boost on the Switch 2 if playing a Switch 1 game..

not all PS4 games get boosts when running it on a PS5. It's still only select titles.

Ok, cool, so, you're totally fine with a digital library!

I'm hoping it gets cracked faster than Switch 1 and the game ROMs will be up to torrent, even though I'm in the Nintendo preorder queue.😂

You are a thief, like you want to go to the park but you don't want to pay so you climb over the wall like mice. Imagine you opened a store and someone came in and took your stuff without paying, would you be happy ? You would be happy if you were a thief.

There's a good chance that the Switch 2 will have the biggest console launch ever, based on the reports we're seeing. Like in japan alone, 1.2M pre orders are massive if you compare to the title holder's launch sales which is the PS2 with 600k units( Nintendo Switch 1 is 330k ).

Switch 1 may have been a massive success but it hasn't been all great for the consumers at all. S2 js definitely already filling the shoes of switch when it comes to charging the hell out of you - the welcome demo, $80 Mario kart, etc.
