I don't think any vehicle will match the coolness of the R.O.B.H.O.G.

Have you tried any of the Xenoblade games yet?  I was in half a mind to restart XB2 on the Switch2.  I don't think I got half way through it when I first played it, and the resolution didn't bother me, but it'd be nice knowing I'm playing it in the most optimal setting.

I haven't. Xenoblade 3 has a new patch but it doesn't say its a switch 2 patch.

You should give 2 a second chance. I gave up like everyone else, but if you play it regularly instead of bouncing from game to game it becomes really enjoyable. It's my favourite in the series.

I'll try 2 and 3 later. I ran X3 through Mclassic at 1440p and it looked awesome.

Good impressions, GG.

Free roam feels like a combination of MK and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. You are just trying out new tricks and challenges. I do like how you csn earn new vehicles and costumes.

I wish you could just jump, rather than prime your jump first.

Oh BTW, when I said Arkham, Witcher 3 a d Bayonetta ran at  better framerates, thats info from YouTube videos.

GVG, Nintendo Life a d Digital Foundry.

Not sure I can play Arkham Knight and Witcher 3. The framerate is sorted but they still look a bit ass like.

But it's like $20 for the Arkham trilogy.

Decisions.

Blunty on YouTube did a ps5 performance mode vs Switch 2.

He didn't say what mode he was using on switch 2. But he didn't label which side was which. They looked so similar I lost track of which version was which and which one I thought looked better.

The margin was so slim I reached the point where the perceptible difference was so small, it wasn't even worth thinking about.

Amazing how games scale these days.

So a week ago I decided to scrap my playthrough of Phantasy Star 1 on Sega Ages difficulty (2X EXP and Gold, fewer random battles) because the game felt too easy; restarted it from the begining on the Original difficulty; the only QoL feature I'm using now is the automap. I'm on the 5th(?) dungeon, and I'm starting to really feel the difficulty. I have the best gear my party has available to them at this point in the game and I've grinded for hours and hours but I always run out of magic and health halfway through the dungeon, saving only enough to use the Noah's EXIT spell and the Alis' FLY spell to the nearest church and hospital. Rinse and repeat. There doesn't appear to be any way to regenerate magic points outside of town without healing at a hospital, which is kinda odd. I've been chipping away at this multi-level dungeon all week. I normally wouldn't be enjoying this but I am. Happy

Okay, bad news.

Apart from Mario Odyssey, all the Switch 1 games I tested portable.

Links Awakening and Mario Odyssey which have switch 2 patches look great.

Otherwise, all the switch 1 games haven't been patched and render at their original portable screen resolution.

On the switch 2 LCD screen they all look worse, there's colour loss, it's blurrier. I even tried 2D games like Miles Edgeworth investigations and it looked bad enough compared to the OLED screen that I just don't want to play it that way.

All these games will look the same, if not better docked on the tv. There won't be the difference there compared to how they originally looked.

But offscreen, unpatched switch 1 games look worse than on the OLED.

I really like exploring Mario Kart World in free roam looking for those P blocks and doing the missions, looking for the Peach coins, looking for the ? blocks, etc. The water physics are great and it’s quite fun driving on the water.

Looking forward to trying a bunch of my Switch 1 games on the Switch 2 as well. Got a bunch in my backlog that I haven’t played through fully yet.

So apparently Monolith Soft helped in the development of Mario Kart World. Not surprised.

Really strange when you look at the history of Monolithsoft and their early switch games. How they've become pivotal to help in Nintendo games and open world games too.

For sure. They’re such an immensely talented developer.

I don't usually bounce between games.  Just wasn't enjoying X2 as much as I had hoped and got distracted.

Good news people!  Advance Wars seems to have broken my apathy towards gaming!  I'm currenlty about halfway the first game's campaign and am enjoying it a lot.  The original is still the better game, with better artwork, more charm, and no saturday morning cartoon voicework (seriously, you can recognize the performers from their work on well known cartoons).  At least the Dutch translation is pretty good.  And the gameplay is still as good as it was nearly 25 years ago when the series first hit the GBA.

Hai guys, Capcoms Switch 2 games are pretty cheap compared to others.

£35 so like under $40 ?

That’ll probably be one of my next purchases in the near future. The one for the Switch 1 is a fantastic controller.

I agree with that. I know I didn't spend a lot of time with my switch, but the pro controller was awesome. Without that, I doubt I would have even spent as much time with the switch as I did.
