It's Saturday morning in Japan so no Switch 2 news this week. Damn. I guess we will see it in Oct then.

If I knew Monster Hunter Wilds would run at 60 FPS on the Pro I'd trade in my Series X and base PS5 for it and get it for like $200. I know there's the PC version, but my place is set up that I can't use an ethernet cable for remote play and using Wi-Fi for an action game is kinda iffy IMO.

I think I'm about halfway through the new Zelda game. It feels like Link's Awakening 2 but with some open world Zelda mechanics thrown in. The summon ability is cute but it feels like there is often only a handful of ways to approach a situation and is more restrictive than BotW and TotK (or maybe I'm just uncreative).

One thing I will mention is that it has old school Zelda dungeons which I love. I greatly miss those in the open world games and the shrines simply don't scratch the same itch.

Since my old "desktop" died (it's like 10 years old so it was expected), I decided to just buy a PS5 "slim", and I might move back to mac for work. I still got my Steam Deck for pc gaming even though it's not optimal, maybe Valve will release something within these few years.

I have a windows laptop and I have not been particularly that happy with Windows 11, so that really killed most of my enthusiasm in building a new pc, thank Microsoft I guess.

Now I'm waiting for Sony to discount their PS4 exclusives like The Last Guardian and Infamous Second Son, since I skipped out on an entire PS4 gen.

I suspect a lot of the game's features will have online capabilities, locking many of the game's features behing PS Plus.

Been playing Stellar Blade, it's a fun game but it also has its share of tedium in terms of exploration, holy that Great Desert place is a chore, so much running around.

 

[Cacher]

Looks so delightful. My god. I still haven't played Dream Team and Paper Jam but now extremely tempting to jump into this one.

 

[Arc]

Brothership will be out by the time I finish Metaphor. JRPG overload.

Finally, confirmation on backward compatibility of Switch 2

Finally, confirmation on backward compatibility of Switch 2

Thank goodness. I have a ton of physical Switch games (not a literal ton). I hope Nintendo offers upgrade patches, but I won't get my hopes up.

Same, I want my 1080p Xenoblade and 60fps Zelda but at the end of the day it is big N.

I was going to get Mario & Luigi Brothership, but according to Digital Foundry the frame pacing is bad. This is a deal breaker to Mario games so I am waiting to see if it will be enhanced on Switch 2 before purchasing.

The Switch XenobladeX listing is up on Amazon.jp. 7700 JPY (~$75 AUD approx).

Also, this version is based on the US/EU version, so coomers will have to cope by playing the JP WiiU version instead if they want to see Lin's risqué swimsuit.
