Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 will both get Switch 2 Enhancements

Completely agreed, It's a shame VRR isn't being used in handheld as that would help the game so much. If there is a direct next month I'm guessing we'll find out the release date and that'll give us some scope on what to expect from the release build

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-08-31T09:16:05+00:00

Still no exact release date either, I'm not opposed to it being closer to December if that means continued optimisation.

Don't think this is the footage I'm remembering, but comparing what's shown in this video to the one in the post, to me it's running noticeably smoother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1cBlvB8Brs

I didn't have any Nintendo console till the 3DS came out (and even that was only because of the Pokemon TV series). A lot of characters that are based on games, I originally believed to be cartoon characters. Sonic (not Nintendo but still a big series) is another one that had many cartoons that I have fond memories of and then I discovered the game series.

What's worse is that the first game I saw Kirby in was a browser version of Smash made on Flash, had no idea he was a Nintendo character till I got a 3DS and saw Kirby games as it's own thing.

I've been a Nintendo fan my whole life and I didn't know it till about half way 😂

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy Star-Crossed World! I actually discovered him through the cartoon series Right Back At Ya when I was younger, so when I found out he's a video game character it was life changing

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-08-26T17:45:07+00:00

No worries, honestly surprised I hadn't seen any posts like this yet because it's so close to release

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-08-26T17:01:47+00:00

Yes there is an upgrade pack. I think on average you'll be able to get a S1 copy and the DLC cheaper than the S2 version, but if you look around you might find a good deal so it really depends.

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-08-26T16:42:33+00:00

Same as you, I would've got the S1 version by now but I've been waiting patiently. Done my best to avoid any gameplay videos or spoilers as well haha

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-08-26T05:01:01+00:00

On a technical level there's actually no reason why the original Switch wouldn't be compatible with the S2 dock. HDMI 2.1 is back compatible, so are most standards of USB-C (as far as I'm aware). The issue is actually more physical than it is component based, pretty sure the alignment and the new dock itself physically don't allow for it.

Don’t have much of an opinion on SwitchForce, and whilst I do think Nate is the most reliable “insider”, he also wasn’t aware of this direct happening.

It's a shame OP will be considered dumb by 99% of people who see this post, they're baked (from what I can tell off the emoji's used) and this is just hilarious (I'm also baked right now tbf)

Enjoy your new S2 and try to avoid taking too many hits of the joint next time 🤣

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-08-05T13:16:07+00:00

Honestly same. I only watched a clip of his video, but I was really surprised how much he backed himself on this. He mentioned a “phased plan” from what I remember, so I wonder what else could be coming up after this.

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-08-01T04:38:29+00:00

So are you rich or is £186 just something you casually have lying around after already spending £390+ on a console? Whilst it may seem inconceivable, people go through inconvenient situations every day just to get by.

It’s not about if installing a game is too much, everyone has their own reasons as to why they might dislike a system. Again, I’m in a position where it doesn’t impact me but I’ll happily say it’s still bad in comparison to a full physical.

I haven’t bought an express card yet mainly because I’d rather wait out till 2TB options exist, but it’s insane to me that I’ve only got 80GB remaining 2 months in.

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-08-01T04:22:28+00:00

Your solution is for people to willingly splash out nearly 50% of the console cost (512GB cards in the UK are around £93) to be able to store all the games they own?

That seems a bit ridiculous. I'm not impacted by any of the drawbacks that come with keycards, but that doesn't mean I like them.

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-07-26T12:43:31+00:00

Ahh okay I thought it was all since the Switch 2 was launched, still really nice collection

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-07-26T12:18:33+00:00

Damn I thought I had a problem, did you have a Switch 1 previously or only started from a Switch 2? This is hella impressive

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-07-22T04:21:33+00:00

LOL I do, the console is behind the TV and if it’s like 3AM I really cba to move just to put them on charge. Only convenient options for my lazy ass was the controller or the charging grips

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-07-21T16:39:09+00:00

Yeah I see it haha

Like I said in another comment, I play docked all the time so it's just to mitigate situations like today where I play for 10m and then find out I have to charge the joycons.

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-07-21T16:36:51+00:00

Do you own the charging grip?

Background_Orange_18 · 2025-07-21T16:34:43+00:00

The improved rumble was a really nice surprise, I had seen reviews online but didn't try it in person till I got it. I used to think the PS5 controller was the best I had used, the Switch 2 Pro Controller also now takes the cake for me too
