Well, an XBOX port just got announced, so maybe a Switch 2 port?Do we know if that team is still around and what they're working on? If I recall correctly, Kena was their first video game.

Ah, I forgot about the news about the Xbox version. (From what I'm finding, I'm only seeing an ESRB leak and not an official announcement. Perhaps it'll be at the upcoming ID@Xbox IGN showcase?) I didn't realize there were signs of activity around the game. In that case, I totally agree about a Switch 2 port being possible.Well, an XBOX port just got announced, so maybe a Switch 2 port?
Xenoblade Chronicles Yor Xenoblade Chronicles X2 is the game, Monolith Soft is gonna release next year
NVIDIA discontinued 3D Vision some years ago, but they could bring back a custom version for Nintendo.If your concern was screen resolution on the 3DS, then you weren’t really doing yourself any favors by not using 3D, because the resolution is literally doubled width-wise on 3DS in 3D mode due to the autostereoscopic screen with its half-width pixels sending a 400x240 resolution image to each eye, creating an effectively 800x240 image. You’re literally seeing a bigger, better picture in 3D mode, and you lose that in 2D mode.
Also, the relatively low resolution worked in the 3DS’s favor when it came to its capability to display 3D, because two viewpoints have to be rendered at once for 3D, and it’s a whole lot easier to render two 400x240 viewpoints at once than it is to render two 1920x1080 viewpoints. I say this as someone who would very much like to see the return of autostereoscopic 3D on a new Nintendo system, too, but I recognize it would be rather difficult to realistically implement, unfortunately…
TBF some games did super-sampling in 2D mode, like OoT 3D. So in that case you weren't losing pixels.If your concern was screen resolution on the 3DS, then you weren’t really doing yourself any favors by not using 3D, because the resolution is literally doubled width-wise on 3DS in 3D mode due to the autostereoscopic screen with its half-width pixels sending a 400x240 resolution image to each eye, creating an effectively 800x240 image.

3D Vision was great to have in the driver for playing stuff in stereo 3D that wasn't even built with it in mind, but probably unnecessary if all of a console's games were built with stereo 3D being standard.NVIDIA discontinued 3D Vision some years ago, but they could bring back a custom version for Nintendo.
Yeah, that's the dream. I did play X, and I've been hungry for more from that setting for nearly ten yearsI've never played X (eagerly awaiting a remaster), but getting a trilogy that ended with Z would be very appealing to me personally.
I have only played the Xenoblades and this isn't a shape, but perhaps they could subtitle it Zohar? I've seen that term pop up in Xeno discussions.X Y Z is funny to think about, but the (last) X in Xenoblade X was supposed to be "cross". I can imagine Y having another shape-based meaning, but less sure about Z.
But, if they've decided to change meanings cus it's been a while, "Xenoblade Why" is a perfect name for a follow up to XX Y Z is funny to think about, but the (last) X in Xenoblade X was supposed to be "cross". I can imagine Y having another shape-based meaning, but less sure about Z.
Oh, I didn't know about that, but it was still to low for me, even if you go into the details like "it was actually better with the 3D on because the resolution was doubled". To my eyes, it was still looking bad, and added to the very small screen. This is one of the reasons I stopped playing my 3DS very early in its lifespan, the screen was too small and the console itself was just too small while I was becoming an adult. That's why I hope the Switch 2 buttons are even bigger than the Switch 1.If your concern was screen resolution on the 3DS, then you weren’t really doing yourself any favors by not using 3D, because the resolution is literally doubled width-wise on 3DS in 3D mode due to the autostereoscopic screen with its half-width pixels sending a 400x240 resolution image to each eye, creating an effectively 800x240 image.

wonder if Pragmata will even releasewonder if capcom's Pragmata will end up on switch 2?

Deep Down, I think we already know the answer to that question.
That joke is truly a Dead Phoenix at this pointDeep Down, I think we already know the answer to that question.
usually involves pizzaI sometimes randomly think about the moment my Switch 2 and a launch game get delivered at my home.
Having a day off, excited to recieve my package. House is cleaned, chores are done. Hearing the door bell ring. Opening up that box. Setting it up. Hearing a jingle and looking at the main screen. Opening up the game, smelling that fresh game smell. Popping it in. Getting a hot drink and a snack. Press A. Hmmmm, yes.
Does anyone have a 'new console day' ritual?

Xenoblade Y but the Y is pronounced crossroad to denote the choices you make in the game heavily affect the story like Law/Chaos in SMTX Y Z is funny to think about, but the (last) X in Xenoblade X was supposed to be "cross". I can imagine Y having another shape-based meaning, but less sure about Z.
No. No sense.I've been thinking, Switch got a lot of Wii U ports, presumably due to the fact Wii U didn't do so well.
Do you think there are certain Switch games, that didn't do probably well or are a bit niche, that come to Switch 2?
Like, I kinda like to think that games like Another Code, Endless Ocean, Famicom Detective Club and maybe Advance Wars coming to Switch 2. Endless Ocean is not out yet, but I doubt it'll sell like a Mario or Zelda game.
Isn’t the Switch 2 likely to be backwards compatible? If so, I can’t see new versions of such games being ported.I've been thinking, Switch got a lot of Wii U ports, presumably due to the fact Wii U didn't do so well.

Yeah, that's true. Forgot about that. My thoughts process came from the fact that EO and AC came right at the end, and players might've wanted to wait for a similar Wii U - Switch effect of those games. But yeah, likely Switch games prolly BC, so never mind I guess?Isn’t the Switch 2 likely to be backwards compatible? If so, I can’t see new versions of such games being ported.
Honestly, at this point, I could see them try to sell Wind Waker and Twilight Princess as 4K showcases for the Switch 2 and that’s why we haven’t seen them yet. Just porting the Wii U HD releases wouldn’t “surprise and delight” enough I guess.
Following this thought, I could see them use Xenoblade X to help showcase their new memory tech in their internal storage and game cards.
We’ll see soon, I guess.
lol wdym 4K showcases? They are GameCube gamesHonestly, at this point, I could see them try to sell Wind Waker and Twilight Princess as 4K showcases for the Switch 2

Beyond that, we expect to be in Early Access at least through the end of 2024 in order to build out the remaining content we have planned.

I always believedOh hey, this mean Pokemon Z-A has just shot up in the possibility of being cross-gen from "maybe" to "extremely likely".

I wouldn't get your hopes up.I always believed

in eight years on Switch 3
To answer the question posed in that closed thread, i do believe the Twitter announcement is basically Nintendo beginning the production process and knowing leaks will happen and getting ahead of it. They also know that with the media cycles ramping up for 3rd parties around the former E3 months in June, games are going to get announced where Switch 2 is one of the platforms so i think 3rd parties wanted/nintendo wanted Switch 2 to be mentioned along side.
It's about time they give us a Rosy Rupeeland sequel. I'm tired of hearing people ask for it.Now I know the reason for the delay: They have to launch Switch 2 with a Tingle game.
