I don't think so, the successor is just too far away to bother with a 2 year old late port. And the launch window is expected to be stacked as hell...Probably a Switch 2 game
Doesn't matter. This can't run on Switch because it needs 60FPS.I don't think so, the successor is just too far away to bother with a 2 year old late port. And the launch window is expected to be stacked as hell...
I mean, Pentiment is a 2022 game and they're porting that in 2024 ... why would it be so weird to port a 2023 game to Switch 2 in 2025 as a launch-window game?I don't think so, the successor is just too far away to bother with a 2 year old late port. And the launch window is expected to be stacked as hell...
...those aren't bad games at all...Nintendo: Pentiment and Grounded
Sony: HiFi Rush and Sea of Thieves
Not fair.
Yeah the reasoning doesn't really make sense to me, why wouldn't microsoft attempt at getting a piece of the pieI mean, Pentiment is a 2022 game and they're porting that in 2024 ... why would it be so weird to port a 2023 game to Switch 2 in 2025 as a launch-window game?
Still I just can't believe this to be saved for the successor. If we have just HALF of games with "I think this is coming for Switch 2" comments on the successor's first year, we'd literally have the greatest first year in the console history, ever. Just half.Doesn't matter. This can't run on Switch because it needs 60FPS
PS5 games of these haven't confirmed yet but I expect all 4 to be on PS5, only those two plus Psychonauts 2 on Switch.Nintendo: Pentiment and Grounded
A port's a port, who cares how old it is. Also we know nothing about the launch window so saying it is expected to be stacked is premature for the time being.I don't think so, the successor is just too far away to bother with a 2 year old late port. And the launch window is expected to be stacked as hell...
If the decision to "delay" the Switch 2 was as recent as it supposedly was, chances are they greenlit the Switch 2 version back when they expected the console to launch this year.I don't think so, the successor is just too far away to bother with a 2 year old late port.

Why exactly "needs 60fps"? There are a ton of games that everyone thinks 60fps is essential but are 30fps on Switch and play super fine.Doesn't matter. This can't run on Switch because it needs 60FPS.
Besides those things will have minimal effect
Pentiment is arguably the best game on that list and HiFi Rush/Sea of Thieves are probably more trouble than they're worth to port to Switch 1. Grounded looks like it's gonna be a bit of a mess as it is.Nintendo: Pentiment and Grounded

I just can't believe in that "uber launch window lineup" thing with Switch successor. We literally anticipated an explosive Switch first year with tons of ports and we didn't get it. Some games will be there, but I don't expect all of them.If the decision to "delay" the Switch 2 was as recent as it supposedly was, chances are they greenlit the Switch 2 version back when they expected the console to launch this year.
As a series x owner, trust me, Nintendo is getting the good games here.Nintendo: Pentiment and Grounded

Not fair.
It's an action game that relies heavily on timing and rhythm. It needs a really smooth frame rate to feel good (and even then...).Why exactly "needs 60fps"? There are a ton of games that everyone thinks 60fps is essential but are 30fps on Switch and play super fine.
Also after Mortal Kombat 1 I really would never say "it'd have to look way too bad to run at 60fps so they wouldn't find it worthy".
I mean the very same sources that were spot on Pentiment and Grounded for Switch, and on Xbox games going multiplat, said Hi-Fi Rush would come as well, as late as last week when Famitsu called the 4 games coming and The Verge said it's coming for Switch and PS5 this quarter.
If anything, it's turning into a late port. I don't believe they were planning to hold it until Switch 2 even when Switch 2 was supposed to come this year, let alone wait a full year after the PS5 port(likely more since they wouldn't send it to die on launch day alongside many titles).
It's a rhythm game. They'd have to basically remake the whole fucking thing to get it working, and it's frankly not worth it compared to waiting a bit longerWhy exactly "needs 60fps"? There are a ton of games that everyone thinks 60fps is essential but are 30fps on Switch and play super fine.

Combat has a rhythm component. That matters a lot. If they couldn't get it to run satisfactorily, they'll wait a bit and make it a Switch 2 launch game or something.Why exactly "needs 60fps"?

Who is this we? The Switch had a slow start buoyed by the excellent BotW, nobody expected it to explode out the gate with tons of ports after the disappointment that was the Wii U.I just can't believe in that "uber launch window lineup" thing with Switch successor. We literally anticipated an explosive Switch first year with tons of ports and we didn't get it. Some games will be there, but I don't expect all of them.
Yeah that's what I'm talking about. I don't think they thought "This didn't work on Switch let's wait for the next system" or anything like that. They tried on Switch it didn't work out and they moved on. After the next system is out and build some big install base they might consider bringing it but I expect by that time Hi-Fi Rush 2 could come out and they would choose to bring that instead. Or whatever they'll make after HFR.Who is this we?

Also not everything has to release on the Switch 2 on launch day. I fully expect third parties to space out their releases over time; no need to bunch everything together at once.
I don't think it's possible for Switch to handle Sea of Thieves tbh
It's an online only game, in this case alone, cloud version makes sense. There's no advantage of having the game natively, you'd still need a stable internet connection.The game runs on Xbone, so it's not impossible. I'd imagine that they'd still do a native Switch 2 port regardless though, given that they want to keep this game ongoing for another 10 years.

Well those comments happen all the time because the number 1 reason/excuse studios have used why they don't release their games on Nintendo platforms is the low power of the Switch, meaning if they were truthful in that regard the Switch 2 should get much more of those titles. Of course its entirely possible the low power of the Switch was just an excuse and not the actual reason why they didn't release their games on a Nintendo platform, if that is the case sure Switch 2 will get bad support.Still I just can't believe this to be saved for the successor. If we have just HALF of games with "I think this is coming for Switch 2" comments on the successor's first year, we'd literally have the greatest first year in the console history, ever. Just half.

Yup that's really what the trailer title told me besides PS5 lol.Probably a Switch 2 game
Got your wish:Needs a physical release badly.
Got your wish:
Limited Run Games is doing a physical release on both PS5 and Xbox Series at an unknown later date.
edit: seems its coming to switch 2 instead.
Looking forward to play it on the Switch 2.
Tom Henderson, a very well known Playstation leaker, is saying so.Wait, where is it announced for like "upcoming Nintendo machine"?
I mean it's a rhythm based game. Can't exactly have stuttering for that game. Should check the PC specs for the two to get a better feel for what they need to perform.hows this more heavy than Grounded?
edit: seems its coming to switch 2 instead.
"It’s currently unclear if Hi-Fi Rush will be making its way to the Switch or not either, but sources have suggested that the game will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, rather than the original Switch, so it could be a few more months before an official announcement."
Seems like at this point LRG are unfortunately to be the top, and only dogs of physical in the coming future.Limited Run Games... the monkey's paw curls.
Welp.
we can't? I just reposted the link? do i need to take it down?Tom Henderson, a very well known Playstation leaker, is saying so.
Just can't post his stuff directly here.
