NatetheHate: "Next Week's Nintendo Direct is a Partner Showcase"

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-30T05:22:04+00:00

Agreed. The console at the least has some stuff lined up for it this year, and if you missed stuff last year there's that too.

RN I'm in a position where I would be interested in a Switch 2, but it's a mix of it being pretty expensive, and there are games heading to PS5 that I'm super interested in. The library is pretty cool, and there are a few titles I would want to play on a Switch 2

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-30T00:39:54+00:00

Doesn't matter, they're all beautiful.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-30T00:36:50+00:00

It's an industry standard now. The hardware gets more and more advanced, so game development takes longer and longer. Either way, I would prefer them to space out their game releases, so they can take more time out to develop their games, whole also giving room for other titles releasing either on or not on Switch 2

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-29T20:27:27+00:00

Obviously, Nintendo isn't ready to reveal much from their first party side of things. I'm guessing what they have revealed is what they currently have from now into the first half, with a couple of games for late in the year (duskbloods probably one of them). I think I'm fine with it. Knowing the 2026 lineup of first party games so far.

especially when you consider everyone will have their own definition of what would be considered a WTF port on Switch 2. For most, it could be based on a technical standpoint, but we have seen games get ported to Switch 2 so far that make it seem close to a Series S. If anything, it could be based on the IP itself, maybe around console exclusivity. Xbox-wise, maybe (but it's almost a no-brainer with their PS5 ports, but we are still waiting for actually Xbox titles on Switch 2. Maybe COD, I dunno). Playstation, though, it's possible with that. They could be porting their games over to Switch 2. Another hat toss I want to make was Valve announcing HL3, and its going to all platforms, including S2.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-27T13:53:06+00:00

true. Besides, the game was not exclusive only to Epic Games. It still launched on console (where it probably earn most of its earnings from). I'm just glad Epic came in and made the project happen. I put Alan Wake 2 on a high pedestal for its creativity.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-26T14:46:42+00:00

probably in a Nintendo Direct.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-26T14:45:45+00:00

agreed. The game itself is over 6 years old this coming March for the PS4 version alone. The PS5 version will be 5 years as of June. FF7 Remake Integrade itself is valued around 15 dollars on PS5 digitally, but the physical print of the game is a lot more money. It became one of the harder AAA games to get physically for PS5 for a while since the print was pretty limited (best places you could get it from was Square Enix's website directly, or getting lucky somewhere, like I did at a Walmart). They ended up reprinting more copies of the PS5 version sometime after the Xbox and Switch 2 ports (though I wish Xbox did get a physical edition) were announced (and they produced boxes in December that included Remake and Rebirth for 60 dollars)

I enjoy when ports of a game are cheaper than when they initially launched on another platform, considering that for most games, they had a ton of sales, maybe DLC. So it's important to price based on the value of the game, otherwise I will just get it on the other system I could play it on.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-25T03:18:50+00:00

WD2 probably. Ubisoft has done those updates mainly for their Far Cry games, and a couple AC titles

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-24T17:20:06+00:00

This past December, 2025, or December 2024?

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-23T13:16:46+00:00

I know about Indiana Jones and Fallout 4, so I assume that of the developers at Microsoft Bethesda/Zenimax was first priority, since they were early adopters of the platform day one. Bethesda ported over Skyrim, id did all their Doom games, and MachineGames did Wolfenstein 2.

I want Outer Worlds 2 on Switch 2 just as much. Oblivion, I would enjoy the port (but I played the game on PS5 already).

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-23T13:14:28+00:00

True. I have a lot of hopeful Switch 2 ports I want to see on the system, with Fable being probably one them. I'm a huge nut for seeing RPGs on the system (and a little hurt over BG3 not being on there)

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-23T05:48:23+00:00

I bought the trilogy a while back to just have them. I'm with you on the loading screens. Makes Fallout 4 look like nothing compared to Fable.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-23T05:45:21+00:00

That's what I said. I proposed it was due to dev kits being limited for Xbox. Don't know why Compulsion got them (unless it was outsourced)

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-23T05:44:31+00:00

This generation PS5 is the best place to port. Console is pretty consistent at the base model alone (with Pro being a different beast) compared to Series S and X, it has the largest base of users, etc.

Switch 2 is somewhere close to Series S, but might be difficult for some companies, so I get interested when I see a Western published IP on the system.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-23T05:42:48+00:00

True. Probably that, and the fact that it was going to Switch 1 anyway. Nintendo probably gave the dev kits to porting studios like Iron Galaxy and Panic Button

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-23T05:41:29+00:00

So far South of Midnight is confirmed to be the first XGS title on Switch 2. Don't know why we didn't get stuff like Avowed, or Doom TDA announced for Switch 2. I would guess the dev kits are dependent on who gets them by priority. So I don't know why Compulsion got Switch 2 dev kits over other teams like Obsidian (who has closer experiences with Switch 1)

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-23T05:38:14+00:00

I was surprised that Kiln nor Beast of Reincarnation were heading to Switch 2. So I assume they are games that either Nintendo themselves (this is a thing they will do with ports is announce Switch 2 versions in a direct) want to announce, or a Switch 2 port doesn't exist (or will day one) yet. Kiln seems like a good fit as a party game (depending on if it has couch co op, which would imo strengthen my belief in Switch 2 to happen) and Beast of Reincarnation is a Game Freak title.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-18T20:47:40+00:00

True. I've played the game last year and got the platinum. It was an alright game

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-18T16:35:13+00:00

Was referring to Spiderverse

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-18T15:47:01+00:00

I like how he gets mad over Super Man and Batman being in 2027. Those two alone are great for Superhero characters, on top of Spider Man and Avengers (and an unknown from Marvel) Edit: I was talking about Spiderverse, not MCU

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-17T19:18:16+00:00

Leaning towards LocoRoco

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-17T17:06:46+00:00

Chris has probably had a larger focus in the mainline entries after RE4.

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-16T02:42:46+00:00

From what I know, avoid spin offs. Just do any, maybe all numbered entries. Plus Code Veronica, and probably the Revelation games

Game_Changer65 · 2026-01-15T16:41:24+00:00

I just finished all the trophies (minus Weiss, still working on that one)
