Hopefully it'll finally realize the full potential there is for a kickass single player experience instead of the glorified tutorial we get with regular splatoon games.

I wanted an open world rpg/shooter type thing.

To see more of inkling culture. This seems to be set on barren islands. I hope they make it big and not just a DLC type short experience only sold separately at full price.

Koei Tecmo Wild Hearts interview said:


In terms of raw computing power, is it closer to the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox Series S?

There are a lot of characteristics when it comes to raw computing power so it's difficult to generalize, but I think it can be thought as closer to the Series S.

Are you using NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution for your game? Is it essentially the same as DLSS SR on PC?

We're not using it for this game.

What resolution and frame rate options are you offering for the Switch 2 version?

Since it's before the game's launch, right now we're refraining from talking about the resolution and frame rate.



That's two Koei games that aren't using DLSS.

Both games with seemingly image quality issues going off the last footage I've seen.

I don't believe we have really discussed the joy cons and what an awesome job Nintendo did with refining them. Obviously, the new size is great but the magnets are fantastic. I seem to recall that some of us questioned their choice of using magnets to attach the controllers, including me, but they are pretty much perfect.

Yeah, I do like how they snap into place and they easy enough to take off. Feel sturdy attached to the system in handheld mode. Bigger size is more comfortable as well.

I can't believe that in this day and age, with how well Switch2 games manage to look, Nintendo believes that the level of detail on the rigging below is acceptable in any way.

The magnetic docking system works like magic.  I am however not that much of a fan of the joycon themselves.  Because of how they are larger, they are actually more difficult to use horizontally when playing with only one joycon.  The analogue stick design bothers me as well, the indent on the top is so pronounced as to be intrusive during play I feel.  And the detach button on the back interferes with how I've always held the Switch, namely with my index fingers on the shoulder buttons and my middle fingers just below, supporting the console.  Now that's made less comfortabel by the positioning of the detach buttons on each joycon.

So yeah, not much of a fan.  I know a lot of people felt that the original's joycon were too small and resulted into cramping, but I never had any problems with them.

Last night and today we're miserable. Hay-fever swelled up my nose. And wa up at 3am.

I like the extra size of the buttons and sticks on the new joycon, the magnets are awesome too.

However as someone with small hands it's made the console less comfortable for me to hold in handheld mode. I used to be able to slip my little fingers under to support the weight.

And the edge that's magnetised is a bit sharp to use in split offscreen play.

I used silicon shells with OG switch, need to get a decent pair for mouse mode too.

Dying Light isn't on the eshop in PAL areas because of German anti violence censorship.

Has anyone tried switching eshop region to buy games?

How do you do it and does it work?

Nintendo sold 3.5 million Switch 2 consoles in four days. Unbelievable.

Didn't Nintendo mention getting around scalpers by having enough units in stock?

I guess it's because they produced them en masse before launch. Overstock?

I miss winter except for the driving on icy roads. I don't mind the cold so much, but it was 91° F here yesterday and it's awful. Cold > heat

Nintendo sent me an email letting me know it's my turn and I can order my Switch 2 from them. I'm not going to, but it was nicer them to let me know.

Someone in the tropics complaining of the cold, responded to by someone complaining that 32c is hot...

So Digital Foundry did a FAST Fusion video up. I own it and it's impressive in 4k in particular.

What's interesting is that they seem to able to output at 4k from fairly low rendering resolutions.

4K60 DLSS Mode - 648p render resolution
4K30 DLSS Mode - 720p render resolution

Making me wonder why more 3rd party games can't achieve this.

RIP Brian Wilson.

Brian Wilson, cofounder of The Beach Boys and the creative force behind the group’s surf sound, orchestral arrangements and perfect harmonies, has died, his family announced on Wednesday.

He was 82.

“We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,” his family wrote in the statement “We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world.”

DF basically says the resolution is a mess and the reconstruction doesn't work.

So yeah, a lot of 3rd party games should be able to achieve that same lofty goal.  LOL
