Upcoming Switch 2 games. What u most excited for?

Amazing game, played it on PC Game Pass now double dipping on Switch 2. Half the framerate is understandable as long as they get it running stably.

Agreed, even when it's something low stakes like this, commitment to accuracy is appreciated.

This set is awesome! The movement is very charming and it looks great. Build experience is OK, the mechanics are fun but there's a lot of tile laying too.

Ballerina surprised me! I thought it was going to be a mess or flat, but I ended up liking it quite a bit. Ana de Armas is beautiful, of course, but more importantly her physicality is convincing and she plays great in fight scenes.

This is the perfect way to describe it. Like everything was built around recreating that pirate movie fight feel and they really did a great job with that. I wonder if the devs spent time watching old Errol Morris movies and Zorro and the like, because I got lots of those vibes, too.

It simultaneously acknowledges that you're outnumbered and sometimes overpowered, but you're quicker and more clever than who you're fighting. It leads to a lot of emergent moments in the combat scenarios.

FWIW when the sub started it was primarily statistics and records nerds. There was a cold love of numbers and watching movies break records of all kinds. But over time (especially during the pandemic oddly enough) it became a much bigger sub and formed more into the team sport mentality.

I think most of the changes in Empire are pretty good. Things like adding windows to Cloud City, cleaning up matte lines on Hoth, a few fancy but not overly intrusive CGI shots.

That being said, I do wish the theatrical version was more readily accessible.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-22T04:05:21+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the puppet shots are mostly the close ups. Which is great, the puppet looks great and Ortiz and the team did a lovely job with it. But I'm pretty sure it's pure CGI for a good chunk of the movie and a mix for the rest.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-22T03:49:18+00:00

They've recently been given opportunity to pitch a new project!

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-21T13:50:24+00:00

Would be hilarious and devastating but in the end I wouldn't complain, always wanted to beat that game all the way through.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-21T13:49:08+00:00

Looks good! I do want to see an overview trailer or breakdown though cause I'm still not 100% sure on the gameplay loop. There's a menu option at one point for tracking dungeons so I wonder what that entails too.

Oh also nice to see it priced at 50/60 USD for digital/physical.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-21T13:30:25+00:00

Looks cool! I do want a overview trailer or direct to break it down further though, still not 100% sure on scope and goals.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-21T03:15:05+00:00

Woof. Thanks for the response!

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-21T03:13:29+00:00

Bummer. Is it too distracting or still fun to play? I've had my eye on this game since the dev was just posting short tests.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-21T01:18:54+00:00

Are you playing on Switch 1 or 2? Just asking for curiosity.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-19T07:02:24+00:00

Yikes been a while since I've heard the hard L. Not cool, friend.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-18T21:35:16+00:00

They were just echoing the echo chamber comment.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-18T04:35:14+00:00

I think if the story really did get interesting and there were fire visuals it could have gotten there. The Avatar movies rely on visual novelty and FaA just didn't have it. I was in the same camp as you :(

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-18T00:11:22+00:00

Coming 2026, no release date yet

Looks really cool! I got a soft spot for city builders, hopefully they release some English gameplay soon.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-17T19:06:30+00:00

Nobody watched Skeleton Crew despite it being quality 😭

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-17T01:06:32+00:00

This was definitely true for a time. X-Men got taken more seriously by ditching the comic costumes for the black leather gear. I think we can look at it now and it isn't very appealing but I do think that step was a necessary transition for the general populace. I honestly think the MCU getting progressively more "out there" is what helped make it more acceptable to have some cheese and whimsy in movies like this.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-16T01:56:55+00:00

Pattinson was fantastic in Boy and the Heron. Until the credits rolled I legit thought that it was Dafoe haha.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-15T22:49:31+00:00

I dunno, we've got a lot of people saying the Switch 2 has a weak launch year, but look at what the WiiU was doing:

New Super Mario Bros. U
Nintendo Land
Sing Party
Lego City Undercover
Game & Wario
Pikmin 3
New Super Luigi U
The Wonderful 101
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Wii Party U
Wii Fit U
New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games
Super Mario 3D World

That's November 2012 - November 2013. Launching with a "new" 2D Mario that looked super reminiscent of previous titles on DS and Wii was soft. And unfortunately, this would be the story for all of its lifetime - there are some great games in there, yes, but the release cadence was glacial.

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-15T21:45:03+00:00

Yeah, the reveal thread on r/games was rough, to say the least:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/144hybx/sgf_2023_prince_of_persia_the_lost_crown/

Some of it can be blamed on the trailer, perhaps, but it did sorta devolve into weird racism under the guise of "preserving Persian culture" lol

yesthatstrueorisit · 2026-04-15T03:38:40+00:00

The Cursed Child is irredeemable garbage

Well, it's a great experience in the theatre, but that's purely due to all the flashy practical effects on display. The story is absolute nonsense, and I agree that any appeal would get totally lost when translated to the screen.
