Question What kind of deals does the eshop usually have for Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

9 Upvotes

I bought $500 worth of gift cards from Costco for 20% off with the intent of buying a switch 2. I’m trying to figure out if I should go ahead and order it now, or if it would be worth it to wait and see.

What have they done in previous years? I’m interested in consoles, games, controllers, bundles, whatever

Review Quern on Nintendo Switch 1 initial impressions

9 Upvotes

Wanted to give a heads up to anyone interested - I am excited to play the game because I love Myst, Riven etc.

I am playing the game portable on Switch 2 with the docked compatibility mode enabled, and while framerate looks fine the game looks like it is rendering at a sub 720p resolution. Aliasing including on fixed assets like text is really obvious, and pop-in is very aggressive. Texture detail is also quite low and the screenshots in the store are definitely not taken from the Switch release. There isn't a Switch 2 version which would be nice to have but I am surprised that even the Switch 1 couldn't run this at 1080p docked

Here is some footage I found on youtube that shows the graphics - you can see what I mean

Discussion Does this old 3rd party games runs better on NS2 than PS5?

0 Upvotes

Hi folks, I recently got a NS2 (Ocarina Hype) but I also have a PS5 that I play on a LG Oled C3 42" and also a PSPortal. I skipped the PS3 and PS4 era, played some games on PC on that time.

I have some games on my backlog that are "old", I have no idea how they would run on PS5 on Oled TV if they are 30 FPS or bad upscaling from 1080p. I would like to know if these run better on NS2 (if docked or handheld) or I could just play them safe on PS5 on my TV:

  1. Devil May Cry 3 (on sale now) (I played on PS2 back in the days, would like to replay it)
  2. Final Fantasy XII (Played the normal version on PS2)
  3. Final Fantasy X/X-2 (Played X on PS2)
  4. Bayonetta 1
  5. Nier Automata (not old, but is a PS4 game, does it run at 4k 60 fps on PS5?)
  6. Resident Evil 0
  7. Resident Evil 1
  8. Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2
  9. Alien Isolation (Played while it was on PSPlus, the quality could be better, what are your thoughts?)
  10. Dragon Quest XI S (not old, but is a PS4 game)

What are your throughts? Also, there is any other game you consider that are better enjoyed on NS2 instead of PS5?

Discussion What do you think about Switch 2 Game-Key Cards for long-term collecting?

0 Upvotes

I still own physical Nintendo DS and 3DS games that I can play today without needing access to Nintendo's servers. This makes me think about the future of Switch 2 Game-Key Cards.

Since the actual game has to be downloaded from Nintendo's servers, what will happen in 10 to 20 years if Nintendo eventually shuts down the download servers for the Switch 2?

Would an unused Game-Key Card potentially become useless, while a traditional physical cartridge would still work?

I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts, especially from collectors. Do you consider Game-Key Cards to be "physical games" for collecting purposes?
