Black Ops 2 on the Wii U was legitimately perfect for playing while laying in bed.

Hopefully they can port 6 without downgrading too much.

Its available on last gen, i'd expect it will be roughly the same as the PS4 version.

 

[Mattyp]

What? Nintendo games sell so much because they are classics. MCC is not, particularly not a platform where FPS games barely exist.

A combination of games that have sold over 80 million copies isn't a classic?

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Halo MCC on PS5 is day one for me.

Loved playing Halo 2 online back in the day, peak Xbox!

The number of leaks surrounding the Switch 2 is unprecedented for Nintendo. The company is usually known for keeping its reveals under tight wraps, but with the Switch 2, we've seen an unusually high amount of information leak. I've never seen anything like this from Nintendo before, not even with their games.

 

[Kotaro]

I just want to hear Elden Ring and Sekiro for Switch 2 please (with extra bonus for Nintendo)

 

[baphomet]

Its available on last gen, i'd expect it will be roughly the same as the PS4 version.

In handheld it most definitely won't.

 

[Moses85]

No Halo, Gears or Indi?

 

[clarky]

In handheld it most definitely won't.

Wont be far off i'd expect.

They began mass manufacturing before they announced the product. I don't know why they thought they could do this without leaks.

Bring in Halo MCC, put it all on the cartridge, and I'll happily buy it on Switch 2.

 

[Darchaos]

Omg, cant even imagine how downgraded thoose games will be Hopefully not as comical as it was on Shiit U and Wii

 

[clarky]

Bring in Halo MCC, put it all on the cartridge, and I'll happily buy it on Switch 2.

Will be a download, far too big for a cart.

 

[Robb]

Will be a download, far too big for a cart.

That's what I assume will happen, in which case it's a skip for me.

Make them run 540p internally in order to fit and scale them with DLSS, or something.

A man can dream.

 

[GoldenEye98]

The most consistent themes I've seen about Switch 2 third party support is:

1. It's a lot easier to port PS5 games to Switch 2 than it was to port PS4 games to Switch
2. MS is going to be the platform's biggest third party

So this lines up with that.

I mean most of the games rumoured here are actually cross gen or outright PS4/XO gen games.

 

[Windle Poons]

So…is microsoft simulator basically monoply?

You get to simulate buying companies for up to 70 billion and then raise the prices on all your Office 365 products to compensate.

 

[Fake]

Imagine GTAV on NS2...

 

[Mr Moose]

Ah yes, eXtas1s, the farmer. Stop giving him attention.

 

[bighugeguns]

Fallout is cool! Might pick it up on sale, otherwise going to refrain from Xbox products going forward.

 

[Radical_3d]

Thank fuck for Mario Kart 9, otherwise its launch list would be depressing.

 

[Kvally]

they are classics. MCC is not

 

[BlackTron]

How are Starfield and Flight Simulator supposed to run on a 1.1Ghz 8 core Cortex A78 when they sometimes struggle to run on a 3.4Ghz 8 core Zen 2? I know the Cortex A78 has superior IPC but it's not nearly enough to offset a 3x gap in CPU clocks.

On the one hand, no way. That alone proves it's fake!

On the other hand, nature finds a way. And a force even greater than nature, is Microsoft in thirsty mode. They probably would have cornered them into a Game Boy Color version if they felt it necessary to get their money back.

 

[Horseganador]

Most of them should be released on PS5 and Switch 2 over time, there's no need for a fake insider like "extas1s" to say it.

 

[Robb]

On the other hand, nature finds a way.

Wouldn't literally any game be a possibility if cloud versions are an option?

Switch 1 already got waaaay more cloud-version support than I would've thought initially. I doubt that'll just stop with Switch 2, if anything I'd imagine we'll see even more of it going forward and that Nintendo has prepared their hardware more for that kind of thing this time.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Thank fuck for Mario Kart 9, otherwise its launch list would be depressing.

Still crossing my fingers for either F-Zero/WaveRace/1080 Snowboarding

 

[Roman Empire]

What I'm curious about is how the Nintendo crowd will react to ports in general as most are Nintendo-centric gamers by large.

 

[Landr300]

I only believe in starfield on the 1,1ghz arm when see it

 

[AmuroChan]

Ah yes, Microsoft Simulator.

Is the main character Bill Gates?

Yes, and you get to fly to Epstein Island as a side quest.

 

[Woopah]

I mean most of the games rumoured here are actually cross gen or outright PS4/XO gen games.

Some are cross gen, but Starfield, Flight Simulator and Tekken 8 are not. Neither are other rumoured games like Rebirth or MGS Delta.

Thank fuck for Mario Kart 9, otherwise its launch list would be depressing.

We have no idea what the launch list is.

 

[Det]

Switch 2 getting Starfield before the PS5 after all the port begging.

And he won't even sell it to pay the port.
Imagine playing on the subway and seeing a loading screen.

That's why the Xbox became third party, the game is completely shit and will be a bomb in portable mode with a loading screen all the time, but the guys "what about Sony, what about the PlayStation?"

 

[bundylove]

Would belive it more if indy jones would be on that list

 

[adamsapple]

No Halo, Gears or Indi?

• Halo The Master Chief collection (at Full Price it seems)

 

[Radical_3d]

We have no idea what the launch list is.

I was just being harsh to the listed games on this news.

 

[Fabieter]

Will they support cartridges. I prefer that on my switch.

 

[coffinbirth]

Thank fuck for Mario Kart 9, otherwise its launch list would be depressing.

They have announced exactly ZERO information on launch games so far though...
Also, are we just gonna pretend Metroid Prime 4 isn't launching with this thing?

 

[Generic]

Can Starfield run on the Switch 2?

 

[clarky]

Thank fuck for Mario Kart 9, otherwise its launch list would be depressing.

?
What list?

 

[Radical_3d]

?
What list?

Diablo IV, Starfield, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Fallout 4, CoD

 

[clarky]

Diablo IV, Starfield, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Fallout 4, CoD

Right so not a launch list at all then. Just some games that may or may not come to the console at some point.

 

[Radical_3d]

Yes. As I said, "the listed games on this news".

 

[clarky]

Yes. As I said, "the listed games on this news".

Missed your post later, but these are not even confirmed games, never mind launch games.

Besides if they did launch the Switch 2 with these games plus MP4 and Mario kart, id say that would be the best launch day line up of all time.

Oh, I see, I was answering to other person. Anyways as I said I was just being harsh to the listed games, not the launch line up.

 

[Woopah]

I think these are just some ports MS are working on. Not all will be at launch.

What I'm curious about is how the Nintendo crowd will react to ports in general as most are Nintendo-centric gamers by large.

People were fine buying third party games on Switch so In sure they will be fine here. Most games sold on Switch were third party.

 

[DenchDeckard]

The award for most out of touch post of the day goes to you, sir!

Just you see how well MCC sells on Switch 2.

 

[Draugoth]

Can Starfield run on the Switch 2?

100%

 

[Deerock71]

Master Chief Collection is coming to Switch 2. Who cares if it's full price? That's a Nintendo W.

 

[Roman Empire]

Playing Halo on the go sounds neat. I'll probably sell my switch to my friend and get a switch 2 down the line.

 

[Boy bawang]

No, the power gap with PS5/XSX is about as big.
But it doesn't matter as much this time since games are already optimized for the weaker XSS and Switch 2 will have DLSS.

In terms of GPU power both Switch to Switch 2 and PS4 to PS5 are roughly a x5 jump, plus architectural improvements.

DLSS is a huge equalizer.

And let's be honest: diminishing returns are clearer than ever this generation, hence the very long cross generation period. Combined with the xss, as you mentioned, and the rise of portable PCs, we can agree that the effort to port modern games to switch 2 will be much less than it was for switch 1 at the time.
