Well, they are not wrong.
Always was.IGN is a Joke!
You're a 4 to me.One of the worse launches I can recall in a while. 7 is too high. It's a 4 for me.
Exactly, i mean for now 7 is a good score. IMO when more good games from Nintendo drop it will go up in rating.Well, they are not wrong.
Is it controversial though? I think 7 is a perfect score for the Switch 2. It's just a Switch 1 with modern specs and that means it inherits basically all of the positives while also fixing some of the negatives.
BUT it has a mediocre launch lineup and it's not exactly exciting. Once the novelty wears off it's just another Switch. A score of 7 is by no means a bad score.
I'm gonna elaborate on the launch lineup comment because I bet people will have issues with it.
27 games
It's still a good console and I still bought one day 1 (midnight release) because I know I'm gonna get good exclusive titles.
- Mario Kart World
- Two ports of previous Zelda games. One of which is 3 years old and the other 8 years old. Great to see them at 1440/60 but they are the same games we played on Switch.
- 3 shitty ports of GameCube games from 20 years ago.
- 1 new JRPG, 1 remaster of a JRPG from the 3DS, and a collection of old JRPGs that were on other platforms for months.
- 6 month old Sonic game
- 5 or more ports of games that were on other platforms a couple months prior
- 5 ports of games that are anywhere from 1-3 years old and are on every other platform.
- A couple indie games
- 33 year old racing game port
- $10 manual
IGN is retarded, so...I'm not sure it should ever be legal to review a games console.
They gave the PS5 an (8/10)First I've seen it. Doesn't make any fucken sense.
How long do you propose they wait to review the product that is available now to consumers? Should products get annual reviews as the devices are updated?![]()
Reviewing hardware that is out for what, 2 weeks? How is that of any help to anyone, boggles the mind.
The Switch 2 OLED will probably get a 9 too. Better and slightly larger screen, lighter, better battery life.For anyone wondering how it compares …

Steam Deck OLED Review - IGN
The Steam Deck OLED brings a fantastic, vibrant screen to Valve's handheld gaming PC, but its most impressive upgrade is the much-improved battery life.www.ign.com
LCD got a 7 … OLED got a 9.
The flat ergonomics are certainly intentional. But I think it would be fair to include optional joycon grips for those who prefer comfort over the slimmest possible form (which is probably most people tbh).A rare fair take from IGN. The console is a fine upgrade, if a little uninspired and safe. I'm surprised they also didn't put more effort into ergonomics of the Joycons after all these years. Always found the flatness to be really uncomfortable to use, never mind the use of non hall effect sticks, again. Which is a lost opputunity from Nintendo. I'd sacrifice some space savings for some proper grips and a bigger battery for more performance on-the-go and battery life.
And yet it was MS's best selling console....My first launch 360 died before week 2. I wish we had a review that showed some failure rates.
I'm sure they can figure a way to make it at least a little more ergonomic and fit for human hands. And still be able to use as solo Joy-Cons and with separate accessories. Just feels a little lazy in design tbh.The flat ergonomics are certainly intentional. But I think it would be fair to include optional joycon grips for those who prefer comfort over the slimmest possible form (which is probably most people tbh).

The people that are considering buying a product today have the right to know what that experience is like now.
Now my FOMO is making more sense.Xbox Series S equivalent confirmed

NVC - Nintendo Voice Chat is their most popular platform specific podcast.
They def care about Nintendo, it drives traffic, traffic brings money, they like money.
Whats weird is that Unlocked(their Xbox podcast) has become more popular than Beyond(Playstation podcast) in the current generation.
Playstation not announcing enough stuff??

Funny how the most offended users have a Mario related profile pic.Leana Hafer a Trans Woman at IGN gave Dragon Age: The Failguard a 9.0!!!
IGN is biased and a f****** Joke!
