What are your games you really want on the system? Mine are Forza Horizon 6, Path of Exile 2,Helldivers 2, and Halo (Any mainline form of it. Example is halo campaign evolved).
I was expecting far worse performance from the comments tbh and strongly hesitated before buying the game. I honestly caved due to the kind of limited Switch library right now and needed a break from BOTW / TOTK / Mario Kart World lol.
I’m not an Oblivion fanboy, I played Skyrim as a kid but I can’t force myself to replay it at this point, so I wanted to check out Oblivion.
Overall, having a lot of fun. Very good game for its time. Most of the jank I’ve run into has been classic Bethesda stuff or what you’d expect from a game from 2006.
Did I run into issues? Yes… but not horrible.
Game froze during the very first loading screen, and then again during intro scene after I rebooted, so I couldn’t talk to the first character I needed to speak with. Rebooted and it was fine, fortunately not much time lost on that. Haven’t run into other issues yet.
Both issues happened after clicking the home button and putting the game on switch during either cut scenes or times where you’re in the middle of interacting with a character, just fyi.
Otherwise, frames did dip a little when I got to the open world, but manageable and nowhere near as bad as I was expecting.
Do I expect better far performance and quality from a billion-dollar company charging $50 for a 20-year-old game?
Yes, absolutely…
But I’m having fun with the game. Haven’t run into any other major issues that I’ve noticed yet (fingers crossed), but it’s playable. Still pretty early, but I’m enjoying it.
I’ve heard about issues if you have auto-save enabled - I still have that enabled and no crashes from that yet, but we’ll see if I end up having to turn that off.
I think it likely helps that I’m playing the downloaded version rather than a cartridge, and I play almost entirely handheld either way. I hear performance is pretty bad in docked mode, but haven’t tried that yet.
Figured I’d make this post as someone who was on the fence about it, didn’t have high expectations and was half-expecting it to be really bad lol.
Was my first Kpop concert & had a blast!!! Only used it before and after, but got scolded for bringing it with me 😅
Edit:
We also got there a couple hours before to beat traffic, so had time to kill before & after
P.s Kinda sad I didn't get to hear House of cards, but they at least ran DNA & Butterfly.
I had multiple switches and loved the handheld/tv capabilities. But always felt it was lacking in performance.
Now i just got my switch 2 today and it feels like this is finally what Nintendo should have made all along. Granted the tech wasn’t completely there yet when the switch 1 was released. But I can see myself just exclusively using the switch 2 for my gaming besides the occasional pc game I play.
We all wanted a switch pro and the switch 2 seems so far that I’ve had it in my hands that this is peak nintendo. Yeah the games are slightly more exoensive but at least we have physical copies. Im 100% team nintendo now :)
What are your thoughts on the switch 2 as an end game console?
I an starting brand new and never played a similar game except from Tekken on PSP! I always loved it and now that I have bought this jewel, I am trying this game.
I’ve been really enjoying Oblivion on Switch 2 so far. Played it on Xbox when it came out (performance could be better there too) but being able to play it anywhere is awesome. Highly recommended for anyone still on the fence.
Voy a vender mis joycon de switch 2 para comprar los hyperion 3, eh escuchado problemas con la vibracion, pero la verdad yo la tengo desactivada en mi switch 2 ya que me incomoda un poco, me recomiendan comprarlos? algo que deba de saber de personas que ya los tengan?
I have this SD card in my switch 1 and m'y switch 2 says it's not compatible, is there a way to still get the data that is on this card ?
I recently found the Star Wars: Heritage pack game cartridge due to a short someone made, forgot the channel name. What are some cartridge games that have more than one game? I am interested in getting some more haha. Thank you for any insight.
I dont currently have any local friends with Switch 2. Would be open to play any games, story games/multiplayer coop.
I can also buy some games that I dont currently have! Any suggestions?
Need someone to play Orbitals with I’m buying this game day 1 my friend code is SW-5141-5328-9230 hit me up
Hello,
Dbrand or Mobapad HD ?
Just to clarify, I already own the NYXI Hyperion 3, but I really don’t like it at all. The plastic quality doesn’t feel good to me, the D-pad is just awful, and don’t even get me started on the vibrations. 😅
I also already have the Savage Raven grips, but they don’t really work for me either, as I still experience hand pain when using them.
And I’m not interested in Satisfye, Nitro Deck, or similar bulky grips/controllers. That kind of design just doesn’t suit me.
One more thing regarding the Mobapad : I’m guessing they’ll eventually release a Pro model, but if that’s still a few months away, it would probably be too long for me to wait, since I’m already experiencing pain when I play.
I think the main issue is that the standard Joy-Con simply aren’t comfortable enough for me. I feel like I’d be much better off with properly designed, ergonomic Joy-Con, because I don’t have this problem when I play with a regular controller.
So that’s why I’m trying to find a comfortable Joy-Con solution now rather than waiting for a potential Pro mode
Thanks 🥹🙏🏻
I always have liked how vibrant the switch one and OLED joy-cons were and wanted to change up the look of my switch 2, I don’t use it a lot but I love tinkering and so me and my gf shell swapped a joy-con each (from ExtremeRate). The price was about £18.99 for the two joy-con sets and it took us about an hour but well worth it!
I believe this is the first time since the launch week of the Switch 2 that the console has had any stock issues in Australia.
It seems pretty clear that the price increase in two weeks is causing people to ”panic buy” the console. I think August will be a HUGE month for Switch 2 sales worldwide.
I haven't had a non-Nintendo console in many years so there are a lot of high-budget games I'm looking forward to be able to play that I haven't experienced yet. What is your favorite 3rd party game for Switch 2 (including those planned that haven't been released yet)? I can only buy one right now, and I'm leaning towards Elden Ring but I'm hesitant because I didn't get into Dark Souls and I keep hearing how amazing Cyperpunk is as well..
Been running my Joy-Cons in a controller-style mod for a while now. Great idea on paper, but two things keep bugging me, and I'm curious if it's just me.
1. The grip angle feels off. Fine for short sessions, but past an hour my hands never quite settle in and I keep shifting my grip mid-game. Close to right, but not right.
2. No charging. The whole point of a controller setup is long sessions, yet I'm still swapping Joy-Cons mid-game or pulling them out to charge. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Below are my real‑world test results for the product in the second image: the magnetic connection feels solid , it has played nice with a lot of case brands I've tried, and it charges while you play.
Does the grip angle bother anyone else, or have my hands gone soft?
Roast my take if I'm wrong.
I finally got Pokemon Pokopia and I am really excited to play this game. What things should I know or what in game settings are good for the best experience.
I found Three Houses a few weeks after its release (my first Fire Emblem title) and I was just blown away by how much that game included. I fell in love with the immense cast, and the combat, and the monastery components (though on NG++ those segments tend to be a slight chore to get through) and when I saw Fortune's Weave coming out, it seemed a no-brainer.
However, I'd rather this not be a console for a single game.
Things I'd be pretty interested in: Visual Novels/Exclusives (even JRPGs)
Cross-Platform games don't interest me, because I have a top-tier PC. I don't particularly love VN's on my PC, though. They're something I'd prefer to read in bed before sleep.
As for exclusives, I have Odyssey and BoTW/ToTK on my Nintendo Account (loved all three) but I have no real history with Nintendo games, so would greatly appreciate some titles to fill out my library a little more.
Hey, my Nintendo Switch 2’s right speaker has started making a repetitive clicking/buzzing noise whenever the built-in speakers are active. It even happens with the system volume turned all the way down to 0.
The issue started right after the system software updated during the initial first setup.
A few details:
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Would really appreciate any troubleshooting ideas or repair suggestions.
This 9 minute video shows both docked and handheld live gameplay footage. Docked looks smooth while handheld it looks like the fps is stuttering which isn't a good sign tbh. Also I think this video confirms that 30 fps is the max cap and not 40 fps which some people were expecting.
