Nintendo Direct announced for Fridayshowcase is set to kick off at 2pm BST / 3pm CEST / 6am ET / 9am PT and will provide 60 minutes' worth of news and announcements on games nintendolife.com news gamingeek
On Amazon the same card is being sold at wildly different prices.
I have seen the 512gb price drop to £99 at the cheapest at the moment, an Integral brand card.
They were also the cheaper brand of normal sd cards, I bought them for switch 1 and they did crash a fair bit. So I switched to Sandisk and barely had any crashed.
If you shop around you can get two 256gb, so 512gb total for £80
If you're okay swapping between cards.
I was going to wait for a 2tb model but the prices are so high, even for a 2tb model I don't think its feasible.
I feel the internal storage is large enough that I can hold out on purchasing an express micro SD card in hopes that the price will come down a bit.
Mind you, by transferring our Switch1 data nearly the whole 256GB has been filled, but there are a lot of games there that we haven't played in years and which can be deleted to free up room. Out with the old, in with the new!
Some insane screenshots of Star wars Outlaws Switch 2 in the Resetera thread.
My game key card comes today. I assume the download will take a couple of hours lol.

I only have Mario Kart and Hogwarts and a small smattering of other stuff and a couple of demos. But I've already hit the capacity limit several times and had to delete stuff.
I don't even know if I'll be able to fit Outlaws without deleting, Mario Kart I guess.
I thought I'd be excited for FC7, but not really. I was excited for 6 and waited a while to buy it. When I did finally purchase it, the excitement quickly went away.
My only problem with a sequel is that we will be too familiar with Hogwarts having explored it so much in the first game. Will they keep the same basic map and change things similar to how TotK did it? Or maybe we visit a different school of magic.
Nah, I think it was the right call to allow you to create a new character during a different time period.
Yeah Im fine with Hogwarts Legacy as it currently exists, I just would like the same care put into the movies that inspired it.
Kind of like Star Wars, they're obsessed with making original games in the SW Universe. But I'd also like a proper Star Wars game which follows the events and characters from the movies.

They'll Dark world it, Nintendo style.
There's a lot of stuff clearly Zelda inspired here, but not as good.
I played 15 mins of Star wars Outlaws in handheld.
Not impressed so far but I think its because I can't get the colour how I like it.
With Cyberpunk and Hogwarts I had to tweak display settings in game or just turn off HDR on Hogwarts legacy and reduce the brightness.
Turning off HDR does nothing to the colours in handheld on Outlaws.
Usually when you lower the in game brightness the colour gets boosted and you lose that washed out look.
Maybe its because of the time of day, but the colours seem quite muted to me.
The textures are pretty good, solid. But Cyberpunk textures are waaaàay better and as a texture inspector Im not jazzed to look at them here.
The ray tracing section which I could notice in the one part with metal walls looked awesome, gives surfaces a more solid look.
The performance is rock solid, immovable so far. 30fps that's near locked feels so much better than the 30fpa on Ps2 or 360. If the framepacing is solid it feels really good.
Kays hair seems better after the patch, I hardly notice it.
The handheld resolution is supposed to be 1080p but to my eyes it looks 720p softish. Hogwarts looks 1080p and Cyberpunk is slightly under but graphically smokes them both.
Still need to see it in the big screen or just get into daylight in portable.
The audio is the most impressive thing to me, the sound mix and music, background dialogue feels as rich and diverse as a movie.
Cinematic screen ratio in handheld shrinks the display a bit making it sharper.

Edit: Doom Eternal is 33gb FFS with all the DLC
Far Cry 7 is coming day and date with other versions. That Avatar game is coming, Beyond Good and Evil 2.
And 2 Rayman games, the first is a remake the second is Rayman 4.

Been hearing a lot of negative chatter about UE5 on Digital Foundry and on resetera.
Spotty performance, frame rate drops, bad Lumen performance etc.
One that mirrors the films and has as much content as possible in game. One where you age from year to year and have muggle world excursions.
Also have lots of side content.

Looks great on Switch 2, even handheld.
Mines downloading...
New Nintendo Direct on Friday!
My body is ready to be disappointed again. They're not fooling me anymore to get my hopes up for some big announcements.
Same here. I really just want to know the Metroid release date but I'm preparing myself for zilch.
