So what do you guys think of MKW as a launch game? How does if rank compared to previous Nintendo launch titles? Which one was the best? (BotW)

For me, Super Mario World is still the best launch game.

Oh man, tough call. Would probably go with Super Mario World as well.

Super Mario World was pretty amazing. But I think Tetris still takes it for me.

I'm witj Robio. Although Wii Sports would be a good choice as well. It might not be the best game per se, but it definitely sold the ideas behind its console the best.

[nintendolife.com]Little Nightmares 3 And Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition Announced For Switch 2

I heard there was also a VR version announced?  I wonder if it'll be something akin to Moss where the gameplay isn't altered, but you see the action from a vantage point and get to slightly bob your head around to really take it in.  It'd be very cool -and unsettling- to see the 'adults' from the avatar's point of view, but I'd assume it'd completely change the game and I don't see the developer going to such lengths as to make that work.  Unless the VR bit was about a short standalone game.

So I beat the first campaign in Advance Wars ReBooted some while ago, turns out it was developed by Wayforward.  I wasn't aware of that and that's pretty cool that they got handed a 1st party franchise to remake.  Ok, it's a very straightforward remake with little in the way of creative imput, but perhaps this is a forebode to them getting to work on some other Nintendo IP.  Their games are always great fun.

I see GG touched on this but apparently I'm supposed to hate the switch 2 screen now? All these reports of horrific frame refresh, terrible ghosting, completely garbage even compared to switch 1! I didn't notice anything but ok. Sure I would love high quality stuff, seems Nintendo saved some money... still looks fine to me. And I play mostly docked anyway.

I'm becoming a bit numb to gaming problems these days.

I won't even notice things and then it breaks out that something is really bad and I'm like, what's this?

Sometimes some 30fps games seem to feel like 60 to me. I can tell if they're side by side, but a smooth 30 I don't really have a problem with.

I think some eagle eyed people are saying ghosting happens in 2D pixel art games? I personally refuse to play virtually all my unpatched swith 1 games on the switch 2 screen.

Because of the resolution scaling. I have a feeling this is more the problem as scaling causes artifacts.

I have no problem with the image quality, vibrancy or smoothness of the screen playing games actually made for Switch 2 so far.

I was a little underwhelmed at first as it didn't pop for me. But the more time I spend in free roam, you realise just how much variety there is and interesting things to discover. The open world format is very fun and had a lot of potential.

It needs a few tweaks here and there. I also appreciate the £35 price, as I got the bundle.

But, I do something else to play with it, a deeper story based game like Cyberpunk. There are other alternatives but you guys probably played them already on other systems.

If I only had MKW and another racing game, Fast Fusion I'd be getting a little bored right now.

Cyberpunk is the perfect compliment to this launch for me. And I'm glad DK Bananza is quite close.
