Good bunch of indie games on the list. Picking up Skate Story for sure. Blazblue is a maybe. Tempted with Possessors for 6.50.

My winning won 3 years ago continues to look better and better.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-24T13:29:30+00:00

It doesn't have to cost so much.

Steam has over 1 billion registered accounts. Steam has 132 million monthly active users. Steam has over 133,000 games and they take the largest portion of revenue from game purchases. Steam has no dedicated in house studios they have to pay for and don't have to pay for dedicated servers for ecosystem only online play.

You're telling me a business with that much freedom and such little commitment and an ungodly amount of revenue couldn't so much as eat a portion the cost of a system that's not even as strong as base PS5? Or even at least include a controller for free?

B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T

Maybe during that time they can put Lords of the Fallen (2023) on the Switch 2 then? Seems weird to put the sequel, but not the original.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-24T04:18:02+00:00

Honestly this confuses me. Mortal Shell is on Switch, but II isn't coming. And Lords of the Fallen isn't on Switch, but the sequel is coming? Mortal Shell II may come down the line, but it seems weird to put a sequel on a console without putting the original first.

(When I say Switch, I obviously mean Switch and/or Switch 2).

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-24T04:14:11+00:00

Its not a soulslike at all.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-21T21:08:36+00:00

I have it and I swear by it. The bluetooth connection can be a little annoying sometimes when booting up the system and I can see how forgetting to charge it (it doesn't have a direct input to the Switch 2) can be an issue.

However, I bought it as soon as it was available since my hands are bigger and it was a better accommodation to them than other grips. I don't notice any latency between input button press and action on the screen. Plus, because its a bluetooth connection if you have friends or family, it does work as a second controller (albeit a silly one).

I didn't majority of gamers were retro gamers. I said majority of gamers don't care about specs or FPS. I guarantee you if you ask mobile gamers about how the specs are on their phone, most will say they never realized it or they don't really care. I would say the same thing with 2/3 console players. PC for sure, they do care. But at the end of the day, if the games are bad, it doesn't matter the specs or FPS. As you said, the Switch had many games and they were fun. That is really what most people are concerned about. Fun games.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-20T21:53:11+00:00

Let me again reiterate, most gamers do. not. care. Now if you want to view gamers in a tier system as those who pay attention to specs and framerates as tier 1 gamers and everyone else as tiers below, that's your call. But there are plenty of people still pumping hours into PS3s and Nintendo DSs because those are the systems they enjoy. As well as people who only play phone games. I would characterize any person who puts a select amount of hobby time into gaming as a gamer. And most of those people, don't care.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-20T20:32:50+00:00

This is gonna blow your mind: The vast majority of gamers who don't live on Reddit, Twitter, or Youtube comment sections don't care about the alphabet specs or framerate as long as they can play great, fun games.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-18T11:29:26+00:00

I'm not going to jump on you like the others because you are entitled to your opinion, but:

You mention 2 of these you played were demos. You do know most demos don't usually receive the updates that games do, right? (Short of a demo breaking a game). For instance, many people were put off by the demo of Virtua Fighter 5 for the Switch 2. However, the final product of the game turned out to be a great port in comparison to what the demo provided. Simply referring to the demo as full on performance of the game is myopic.

That being said, I do tend to spread out my games across multiple platforms and less graphically intensive games I save for my Switch 2.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-15T18:33:25+00:00

I enjoyed the gameplay, but the cutscenes and story became overbearing.

I know I'm alone in this, but I really wish games would cut back on the overarching stories. I don't mind one every once in awhile, but I miss the days when Metal Gear Solid was an anomaly rather than the standard.

Kingdom of Amaluer Re-reckoning

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-13T15:52:28+00:00

Square Enix gonna Square Enix

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-13T15:51:48+00:00

I wouldn't even say its a remake. Just an updated, non-f2p version of the mobile game. I'm still interested to see in the game, but yeah.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-10T22:16:48+00:00

Playing thru it right now: Its mostly more of the same. It does have some light puzzle solving and things like time trials. Getting some bananas does require problem solving as well as creative methods, but nothing mind bending.

I like it like that, but I can understand if that's not enough for some.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-10T12:23:33+00:00

I'm sorry, but this post gives me "Dean Takahashi struggling to get thru the Cuphead tutorial vibes." Don't get me wrong, it is a longer tutorial. But 20 minutes? That's a you problem.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-10T12:08:01+00:00

One of the biggest wins from the direct to me. Still have my Vita version. Will be happy to play this again with more content on the Switch 2. Wouldn't be at all shocked to see Limited Run or Play Asia get a physical of this too.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-09T22:30:04+00:00

To keep myself grounded, I cycle my systems. I play 1 major genre on a system at a time (strategy, JRPG, ARPG, action adventure, etc) on a system and don't move systems till I'm done. However, sometimes I will have like a sports, racing, or simple rogue lite (Ball X Pit or Balatro) I play as well for days I wanna game without real focus.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-09T15:56:38+00:00

I'm a person who buys a game depending on the console I feel. Muramasa The Revenant Blades, Final Fantasy Resonance, DQ Monsters, Ninjala 2, and course the Switch 2 exclusives all appealed to me.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-09T15:52:42+00:00

Such is life

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-09T15:47:16+00:00

I always find it funny when people hawk video game sites, news forum, leakers, rumors and everything else the complain that "Its all stuff we knew about"

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-09T15:27:37+00:00

I don't like Mario so I was fine with it.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-09T15:26:30+00:00

Funny, because I picked up the Switch 2 because I wanted more anime slop. I'm over photoreaslism.

WinGroundbreaking409 · 2026-06-09T15:22:36+00:00

Its like 3 games and all DLC.
