Absolutely Cozy
Nintendo fans are going to eat good. Some might bemoan that it's a lot of "old" games that are coming, but I was very happy to be able to play several PS3 era games on my PS5. Not to mention all the PS4 era ones. So the ones who are solely gaming on Nintendo's consoles are going to have a blast with everything they've missed, hopefully RDR2 too. Having that game in handheld on one's long trips must be amazing.

How are they doing the always online stuff for Nintendo?

This is how I felt
But I got the game anyway. Good value for a launch title and some care went into this port. It's not being talked about much unfortunately

How do you know? Is there more footage of it running on the Switch2? Or some info from devs?

I played Hitman III on the Switch through cloud so a game key card is the least of my concerns

Search this guy palanix on YouTube he had some videos that looked great…comparable to the ps4 version…
…That said, i may have spoke too soon…there's a Reddit thread where the opinions are mixed.
The early consensus seems to be it's a good experience in handheld but a subpar one docked.
Inconsistent frame rates esp docked however quality visuals. VRR helps in handheld. HDR is not well optimized. Unlocked 60 fps which hovers between 30-50 unreliably.

I actually don't mind the game key. Now if it was just a download code inside the box then I'd be pissed but at least you can still sell and trade in the game like a physical game. The only difference being you have to download the game the first time you play it.

Thanks for the info. These 30 second clips are not what I would base a decision on honestly. I'll have to wait and see, in the meantime, I take a look at the reddit thread you mentioned.

lack of a true offline mode for a portable console…

So, this port has terrible performance and HDR? Uncapped framerate between 30 and 60?
Fuck. The switch2 use the same buttons of the ps5. Not expected that.

There's something OFF on this video, it looks like the saturation is WAY over the other game versions...
PS: and no, this is not a troll post, my S2 arrives today.

The only newer stuff is from Hitman 3.

They're fake videos with increased saturation to trick people into thinking it's a new comparison
Even the ai voiceover in one of them

But they remade each levels for Hitman 3 (as they did for Hitman 2 back then) alongside Hitman 3 levels, and then changed the name, so this is basically Hitman 3

Isnt this release (world of assasination) for switch 2, Xbox, ps5, steam a compilation of "next gen" hitman 1-3 trilogy? That's how it's advertised. All the campaign missions from hitman 1,2,3.

They renamed Hitman III to Hitman WoA several months ago and launched new missions and modes, and this release is basically a rerelease of the game with extra stuff if I understood correctly.
When I launch my cloud version of Hitman 3, it is now WoA with extra modes as well, but not the full package like this release

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
My man really fell for an AI voice narrated youtube clickbait.

IOI made that (bad imo) decision to tie progression to being online when they made Hitman 2016. Since then they had to stick with it, even in sequels (since all 3 games are connected) and later re-releases. It's simply how it's built.
Their new 007 game should be free that, but you never know.
