For now on, yes. Since Nintendo's official emulators aren't trustworthy.
That could be a bummer for my application (Daughter's Switch is on Aeroplane Mode by default to keep her from getting onto YouTube or initiating large downloads). Similarly, it gets used a lot in the car and other places...
It's not a deal killer, I'll just have to be thoughtful about how we manage things, I guess.
And it leads you to a general area and makes you look around, everytime to find whatever you're looking for.
So you'll often have to just clear out all the enemies so you can walk and jump about freely to look for a terminal or shaft.
Everything transfers to switch 2 but your digital library also stays saved on your Switch 1.Unfortunately the game key icons are all set to switch 2.
If you go back to switch 1 you have to load the key card icon back onto your OG switch.
It's a bit of faff but not too painful. Then you don't need a net connection to play it.
You can. Also lend out your digital games to anyone for 2 weeks, provided you have real world contact with them. If your friend lives in Mexico he can't lend you anything unless you live next door.
I hope the demo includes that rather than the short, linear opening 30 mins of the game.
I think seeing is believing and it recalibrates your expectations of Switch 2 visuals and performance.
I'm slowly getting more into the game and its become a lot more fun.
My biggest problem so far is the objective path finding, its very manual. There's ko tracking line or radar.
SW Outlaws with and without Ray Tracing enabled (PC). DF mentioned this in their DF Weekly show. Kind of a trip.

Yikes!
Of course the difference is huge. Games withourt RT will have different solutions to mimick lighting. If you turn RT off Outlaws has none of that.
It seems to forget switch 2 whenever I take the dock to a different tv. Forgets all the settings.
So I have been using game mode for weeks now. I assumed it would be better for gaming. But you can layer non game mode stuff on top. But of course my TV forgets these everytime.
So I randomly turned off game mode and cranked up the sharpening. And holy shit, what a difference.
SW Outlaws now looks pin sharp and all the OLED settings applied looks just awesome.
I was wondering why Cyberpunk looked "off" to me compared to a few weeks ago. Screw game mode to hell and back.
15.09.25 - Sony is recording a historic decline in physical game sales at its PlayStation division: According to the latest corporate report, the company generated only 3 percent of its PlayStation sales with disc versions for PS4 and PS5 in the past fiscal year.
This corresponds to around USD 945 million with total sales of USD 31.5 billion. Even before the launch of the PS5, the share of physical software was twice as high. Since then, it has fallen steadily, from 6 percent in 2020 to 5 percent and 4 percent to the current low.
Despite the shrinking share, absolute sales remain more stable as the division's total revenues continue to grow significantly: The gaming division grew by almost 10 percent year-on-year and is considered a central pillar for the group as a whole. One possible reason for the decline in disc share was the lower number of Sony's own games, which are traditionally bought more often in physical form.
Wonder what the statistics are for Microsoft and Nintendo?
Man, that's way lower than I'd have assumed. I guess that also includes stuff like DLC and microtransactions which would skew the metric a bit.
And offer a made on demand service to print discs and box art like Disney used to. I got a couple of rare dvd sets that way.
Remember, MS tried that. Now I think they're trying it but just quietly.
They were just too early with it.
All of my Switch 2 games are digital.
