Ridiculous

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Just like the first game. Can't wait.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

This'll help move Switch 2 units.

 

[Robb]

Huh, unexpected.

Looking forward to playing it though. Feel like it's taking forever to come out. I enjoyed the first one a lot.

 

[Baemono]

I can't believe they did the same thing as they did for the Switch 1, how surprising

 

[Hero_Select]

The hits keep on coming

 

[Impotaku]

I can't believe they did the same thing as they did for the Switch 1, how surprising

Indies know switch is the perfect place for their games. Can't blame them for doing the same again, they want people who actually buy games and don't wait for it to appear on the peasant game rental schemes.

 

[balls of snow]

Its also on the original Switch guys.
Oh and pc where I will be playing.

 

[justiceiro]

A exclusive I can play right now on PC?

 

[roque-swarm]

A exclusive I can play right now on PC?

When it comes to The Great Console War
A console exclusive (+PC) might as well be a full exclusive

Riiiight…

I'll wait for the PS port then.

How will it launch first on Switch when it's been playable on PC for like a year now?

Console exclusive

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

It's not even finished, I guess the exclusivity window may end in time for 1.0 release.

 

[Trunx81]

Oh, also for regular Switch? Nice! Loved the first one. My go-to "I dont know what to play right now" game.

 

[Topher]

And timed exclusives are still shitty

 

[DenchDeckard]

Timed exclusives suck but nintendo has the weight and user base to compete with Sony on these deals.

Massive get for nintendo.

Cheers mate

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I think they are the actual bane of gaming to me

Well, them and QTE's.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Hopefully this one will be on the cart and not be one of those game-key releases like the Bravely Default Remaster. Else, I'm not buying it and will patiently wait for a proper physical release.

 

[Duchess]

"Thanks for beta testing it."

 

[Little Chicken]

Well they need something.

 

[StueyDuck]

firstly, i have it on steam already, but secondly who cares.

Hades is one of those games (and the sequel) that is waaaaaaay overhyped and overrated.

they are totally fine roguelites with too much gabby gabs

 

[SmokedMeat]

Wait…the game I've been playing since June is a timed Switch exclusive?

Eh, I'm fine with the console makers slugging it out over games PC has had access to for a year.

 

[saintjules]

Nintendo finally playing some hard ball.

 

[Arachnid]

Is it really exclusive it's already on PC lol

Hopefully this one will be on the cart and not be one of those game-key releases like the Bravely Default Remaster. Else, I'm not buying it and will patiently wait for a proper physical release.

Holy fuk a Bravely Default remaster? This is the first release I care about lol. No shot of this coming to normal Switch, right?

 

[Draugoth]

Bruh, Nintendo is going all in on thirdy party exclusives

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Damn Sony moneyhatting tactics...

Wrong thread, sorry.

So Hades 2, Bloodborne 2, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Bravely Default, gamecube online, Switch 1 upgrades.

Enjoy that PSSR update for ACShadows I guess, lol.

Look, I own all the consoles. I own a gaming PC and PSSR PS5 Pro. I just cant abide watching yall suck ACShadows dick and shit on Nintendo when they are giving us gold "Hades 2, Bloodborne 2, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Bravely Default remake, gamecube online" and you are talking to me about AC Shadows. You lost all credibility with me. I've chosen a side and my side is "Hades 2, Bloodborne 2, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Bravely Default, gamecube online" and you can keep your AC Shadows. When you are setting around playing AC Shadows thinking you are better than me, I'll be playing "Hades 2, Bloodborne 2, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Bravely Default Remake, gamecube online" who honestly, which one of us should feel sorry for who? Especially when the graphics are pretty great all things considered. https://twistedvoxel.com/street-fig...h-2-visuals-surpass-xbox-series-s-comparison/

 

[Spukc]

if we needed more reasons to buy this console..

like hot dang

 

[GymWolf]

Console exclusive so pc still gets it day one right?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Console exclusive so pc still gets it day one right?

It's been on PC as early access for a while now.

 

[GymWolf]

It's been on PC as early access for a while now.

I know, i already bought the game.

I was thinking about the devs maybe waiting to release the 1.0 version later if it was a total exclusive but it is just a console exclusive so there should not be any problem.

 

[Sooner]

Hopefully this one will be on the cart and not be one of those game-key releases like the Bravely Default Remaster. Else, I'm not buying it and will patiently wait for a proper physical release.

Physical is dead. Time to move on.

 

[vodka-bull]

Wait what? Didn't the game release like 2 years ago??

 

[Lunarorbit]

I'll just wait for ps5. Bought it on the switch and Sony last time. Great great game.

My hands cramped super fast in handheld mode playing hades. I wish Nintendo would think of larger joycons for men

 

[Kacho]

I wonder if we'll see a similar deal with No Rest for the Wicked.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Physical is dead. Time to move on.

 

[nowhat]

Bloodborne 2

Oh that's adorable. A game we've seen basically nothing of, and that will be a multiplayer experience of sorts (those always do gangbusters on Nintendo platforms, right?) is Bloodborne 2.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Physical is dead. Time to move on.

I counter your point with this:

Physical is alive.

Hades 2 will receive a better version on PS5, it's just a timed exclusive.
We don't even have Bloodborne Remastered yet.
And comparing Switch 2 with shitty Series S isn't that impressive.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

But it's on Steam Deck for over a year now.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Seems like an odd waste of a money hat for Sw2 when most people are going to just be balls deep still in MK$. *shrug*

 

[Punished Miku]

Not buying any indie games for Switch anymore. They all come over eventually.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I'm in if there's a fully on cart physical release.
