Nintendo Switch 2 - Magnets, how do they work?

[Bweigelt]

Yeah the notion that Elden Ring was/is fine on PC is hilarious. That shit still stutters to this day and is still ridiculously heavy for a game that looks like it does. And yeah the only way to play with a stable framerate and minimal stuttering is like Kran said, ps4 game on ps5. Sekiro also has had shader comp issues although most of those have been cleaned up by now. All the dark souls games have had serious frame pacing issues even on pc even the new ones. The fact that people are willing to accept their shit is one of the reasons PC ports these days tend to be horrible. Everyone just makes excuses for them or says shit like "well I can't notice it or It didn't affect me". I have very low hopes that the Switch 2 exclusive they are making will run any better.

ain't exactly making excuses if it doesn't effect one is it, i'm not out here relating other people's experiences on their behalf, but i experienced few to no issues with Sekiro, DS3, SOTFS, and played Elden Ring about 6 months after release but much the same there, they p much all rolled 60 FPS with minimal stuttering or frame dips (Elden Ring occasionally if too many bears on screen). much more a YMMM situation than say, Dark Souls 1, which objectively ran like shit, or a Monster Hunter Wilds or Dragon's Dogma II.

Intergrade wasn't on PS4 ;p

Yeah, for some damn reason SE didn’t make the DLC available for PS4…when it (at least pro) ran the base game flawlessly.

I day 1’d Elden Ring and played the game entirely on PS4 Pro, it was an excellent experience with no noticeable performance issue…huge shocker to see it running poorly on Switch 2, at a time when Switch 2 needs to be demonstrating its power.

Seeing how it runs Cyberpunk 2077 and how it’ll likely run FF Remake I’ll chalk this one off as a poorly optimized game.

I feel like half the time this stuff comes from people with bad PCs

[Drai]

Surprised no one was talking about the Direct today

[Gokulo]

DQ7 heck yeahhh

[Drai]

didn't have Virtual Boy classics on my bingo card ngl lol

[Tyrath]

DQ7 fuck yeah

[Drai]

New Fire Emblem, DQ7, Pokemon ZA stuff and Kirby Air Rider's stuff is what I'm most looking forward to

[Mayareira]

Started off meh ended pretty good.

Metroid Prime set for holidays, looks awesome.
Resident Evil Requiem, Village and 7 early 2026 - was sure they’d be announced in this direct, RE Engine is phenomenally efficient, will probably look and play great.
FFVII Remake Intergrade - Early 2026, good excuse to re-play but why so late
Pokemon Legends
And of course, DQVII remake.

And finally, Fire Emblem.

‘Twas a good direct.

[Gokulo]

RE7-9 on Switch will be a really strong addition for the console.

New Fire Emblem definitely has my interest.

Very disappointed we still have not gotten any S2 patches for Xenoblade games... I bought S2 hoping those would come immediately, lol

[Obsidian]

Prime 4 also got a release date, so now I know when I actually need a Switch 2 by.

Edit: I'm slow

Funny, I was at the tail end of the DS version of DQ7 and kinda got bored.

This one looks intriguing; depending on what additional QoL (3DS got a ton over the original) I might consider.

Too bad the hero still looks dopey.

JP direct also had this:

[Tyrath]

I own it on both PS1 and DS and still never finished the whole game. Hopefully third time is the charm lol

[Ayn]

You and I both homie.

Started off meh ended pretty good.

Meanwhile, now I've got ten days to decide if I want to run the Kyoto marathon..

[Andalusian girls]

Edelgard did nothing wrong

[Zealot]

Actually kinda interested in this Pokéminecraft game.
