I'm likely to keep my Switch 1 forever. Switch 2 is using emulation for Switch 1 backwards compatiblity. In the video below, MVG's (he worked with Nightdive Studios for a number of years) take away is that Switch 2 will not be fully backwards compatible, especially for third party games similar to how Xbox 360 couldn't run every OG Xbox game.

These cards weren't cheap. I feel like I'd have to raise the sales price then.
I left it too late to make the Wii to Wii u transition. Now my VC games are all locked on OG Wii.If you get switch 2, I'm guessing I'll have to transition my account over from switch 1.
Would I still be able to access my collection on switch 1 after the transfer?
I've always been curious and now they are becoming more accessible to Nintendo platformers I might pick one up when cheap.
It's always looked like Shenmue with beat em up sections? Is that right?
Apparently some sources are saying it runs at 120 fps.
We know it has a 2k mode, is 120fps for 1080p?
More exciting is that it may have a Diddy Kong racing style adventure tire mode. Nintendo are hinting that there's more to free roaming than we think. There may be missions, boss fights and collectibles.
Now final thought, this is an open world with individual tracks formed into one mass. So what happens when they add tracks as dlc?
Does the world become larger and larger with each track? Do they add regions instead that have several tracks within them and the free roam area becomes bigger?
What if they merge Mario platformer elements and make it more like Lego City?
Ivwould assume the world becomes larger. Exciting news about the game.
In a video, on the ocean someone drove into a ? Block inside a ship. You then started driving the ship.
Apparently you can also drive inside a lorry and start controlling it.
One more thing, I don't if you can do this, but because your cart can transform into a plane or jetski, could you freely change in free roaming mode?
Turn into a plane, fly over the world freely, land and transform back into a kart?
Even if you can't I imagine there will be a plane you can fly into and control. Then maybe you eject and parachute back down to land.
Didn't we see someone drive into an eighteen wheeler and control it?
I haven't played Shenmu, so I can't give you a accurate comparison, but you're probably right. It's similar to a lot of GTA/open world games, though it's been scaled down in size compared to most others, there's no driving, and there's a decent fighting system in it. Nothing real over the top, but more complex than the simple punch mechanics that other games like it have.
There's usually a main storyline that's presented in a serious fashion, (which tend to focus on real estate scandals), and those a paired with side missions that are usually there to give your character a bump in experience points or money. As the series went on, those side missions became increasingly bizarre and ridiculous, and in turn became sort of a hallmark of the series.
I enjoyed the series a lot, but I played through about five of them through 2023. Kind of and invertently burn myself out on the series. But I'll get back to it one of these days.
I'd likely play a Yakuza game like I did Shenmue: Play until I found the local arcade and never leave.
How many games are in the series?
GG, I read that transferring to switch2 leaves the games on Switch as well, save for your AC island.
In regards to World's likeliness to DKRacing, there better be a Wizpig easter egg in there somewhere!
That question is a little more complicated than it used to be now that they've done so many spin-offs.
The main series has seven games in it, Yakuza 1 - 6, and a prequel Yakuza 0. All feature the main character Kiryu, who retires at the end of 6.
Then the game basically spins itself off into a new series called Like A Dragon, and turns into a jrpg and features a new main character. There are two games in that series.
Kiryu is brought back in between those two games though in a side game called The Man Who Erased His Name.
And most recently another side game was released featuring a different reoccurring character called Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. The character in question is kind of batshit crazy, so the concept of the game seems to work just based on him.
Then there were two other side games - Ishin, which takes all of the characters and reimagines them in 1800s, Japan, and then some zombie game that most people prefer to forget about all together.
And finally there is another spin-off series called Judgement that is basically a cross between Yakuza and Phoenix wright. Two games in that series.
So the answer is either 7 or 15.
Golf Story is pretty fun and it has HD rumble.
I forgot about that game, started bu tdid not finish on the Switch.
Yakuza Zero is a good place to start.
Not a Game Under listener I presume?
They are phenomenal, every single one of them. Start with Yazuka Zero then. Don;t start with any of the Like a Dragon's they are completely different - RPGs.
You have a wonderful expereience ahead of you.
Yes I saw the footage this morning. It was in the trailer but I wasn't paying attention.I'm starting to get this feeling that Mario Kart World is going to end up being this huge all encompassing, generational lasting behemoth of a game.
Like Nintendo GTA, updated for the next 7 years or whatever. It's the pricing that makes me question it.
It occurred to me that the Switch 2 Mario kart digital bundle means you get MKW for £30 here in the UK versus £75 physical.
Part of me is thinking that there's something about the physical price, that maybe this is Nintendo's deliberate push to get us gaming and buying more digitally. There's the benefit of digital games for them.
But given that this is Switch 2s big marquee game, maybe its meant to be stored digitally. As I've found, I rarely get up and break out a cart from a game case. But if a game is stored on the menu and is one click access, I'm more likely to play it.
If MKW is going to be consistently updated throughout the generation as this all encompassing open world, maybe there's some thinking at Nintendo; how do we encourage consistent engagement with this game? And the answer, or part of the answer may have been, make it more likely to be stored digitally so it's always easily accessible.
That also works with this gameshare feature. One Switch 2 can locally share the game with like 3 other people.
sweet. I'll still probably sell the OLED. It's depends on what games won't transition over.
