My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
On Switch 2 you get only HDR and 4K,no new textures or better graphics. You pay $10 to utilize the console you bought over a game you have.
On Switch 3 you will need to buy it again, only for $ 120.
The flood of remakes and remasters shows how the innovation in large gaming corporations has run dry.
That's a little disingenuous. There are other gameplay features added for the Switch 2 version.
You mean the app guide and building sharing through QR? That's on your phone. I speak for BOTW and TOTK.
What does it being on your phone matter? As I understand it, you cannot do it on the switch 1 version of the game. It is a new feature added to the switch 2 version of the game.
1st, they could made it to Switch too, there is no need for extra console.
2nd, both games had companion apps free from community, so its a minor improvment to that
3rd, jesus christ
This is integrated to the point the app is aware where in the world you are. It’s okay to charge for new things, one reason being that people eat and food costs money.
If you want to pay, go donate to the guys that made the companion apps, not multibillion companies offering trinkets...
Oh, why i even bother, Nintendo fanboys..
Nintendo employs people who eat. Go explain why you want to freeload to someone who believes it ;)
Freeload? I had payed 70€ for TOTK, if i ever buy Switch 2 that's another 450€, and you call that freeloading? So 520€ is freeloading and not the 10€ they ask to run the game. If this was not an anti consumer tactic, you could play the fucking game no matter what in Switch 2, and ask 10€ only for these "upgrades".
I would like to know if even you would pay for this, fanboy.
PS Thanks Playstation fanboys who made this a today norm.
You can play your copy of TOTK on Switch 2 without paying. Upgrade with enhanced graphics and new features is paid. Nobody is taking anything away from you. Nobody promised anything more.
No you can not play ~~any~~ some Switch 1 games without paying for upgrade pack costing 10€. Good morning, welcome to reality. Also there are no new graphics. Its the same game in HDR and 4K, even if you pay.
Source? Switch 2 is backwards compatible. Why would this game not work?
Other big companies offer bigger free upgrades for years without demanding more money from who already bought game (Minecraft says hi), indie developers have less sources of revenue and lots of them still offer updates for longer than even a console life cycle - and neither are tying the updates to buying a brand new console.
You pay $10 to utilize the console you bought over a game you have.
I've read this sentence like 10 times, and I just don't get it. What are you saying here?
just don't give this company any more money at this point in time.
Just buy a PC. Then you don't have to wonder about this sort of nonsense.
E: you can safely ignore this exchange, I was wrong, Switch 2 is backwards compatible and the "enhanced editions" are only $10 for the upgrade.
Games don’t get upgraded releases on PC? That sucks.
You just turn up the quality settings in the menu. You already paid for the texture and models, you don't need to pay again.
Of course they do. They just don't require you to buy the game again (typically). Or if they do, it's at a deeply-discounted price via DLC.
Patient gamers FTW!
Im going to emulate this. Recently I was able to afford me a new PC with a Ryzen 5600X CPU with a RX 7600 GPU, it's time to gaming for me.
I bought it at release and emulated it 2 days after. Much smoother on PC, even with shader recompiling. Only reason I did it was to remove the duplication patches, but the improved graphics fidelity was a major side benefit.
It runs and looks SO MUCH BETTER on the computer. And MODS!
Any guides on how to get started? Would love to do a totk and botw run on pc
Ugh I only have a link to the guide I used on Reddit, but since I did this, both emulators have been taken down.

It will still work if you can get the software tho!
Either wait for the switch 4, or just port it to pc and enjoy
Emulate it. I'm pretty sure that there are active forks of Switch emulators that lay low.
Nintendo has always had my favorite exclusives. My whole life, I’ve been guiding Mario, Link, and Kirby directly into pits hundreds of times a day. I just don’t think I can keep feeding Nintendos greed anymore and I’m a little sad that that part of my life might be over.
Pirate it, then store it? Then you could keep all your favourites forever.
If you already have a Switch then play it now. If you don't, then wait.
Nintendo fucked me over with the WiiU and Zelda BotW... won't buy anything from them ever again
What did they do?
They released a game for a console you already owned, and then released it again on the new console, and people got mad? I dunno.
I loved my Wii U, and loved playing BotW on it. I guess it wasn't designed to use the control pad in any special way, which was a bit of a drag, but it played great.
They didn't release it again. It got delayed and delayed, then optimized for the Switch and released on both consoles at the same time. It runs bad on the WiiU and you can see that some game mechanics where designed with the 2nd display of the WiiU in mind but then got stripped down to work on the Switch.
Switch 2 is a dud. No OLED
I imagine they expect releasing a version without OLED first and one with OLED later will give them double sales with many nintendo fans, just like what happened to the switch.
Yeah, i expect a Switch 2 OLED model in 2 years. Maybe 3 years, if sales keep going.
It may be a miniLED since it supports HDR which honestly wouldn’t be terrible. Would even make it brighter than an OLED
They chose VRR over OLED, which is, in my opinion, a good choice.
OLED VRR is a big problem and holding a small OLED screen close to your face when VRR flickering is happening would be very annoying.
I'm still waiting for xbox 12 before getting skyrim...
For me the answer is pretty clear, right now with my overclocked Switch 1, I get above 40 FPS most of the time (60 in certain areas) with BOTW and also I am using Fizeau to improve the colors to make it look more like a Switch OLED (it even looks great on the TV), I don't expect TOTK being too different.
