So they've done the new DOOM on Switch. Sort of. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... t-analysed Despite all the compromises if you watch the videos of the game in motion, it's kind of OK. Ish. Not sure it's the type of game you'd want to play on a Switch though, the whole point of Nintendo consoles is the Nintendo stuff, really. |

I completed Mario Odyssey a week or so ago so that's just in time for me to take in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 tomorrow. I'm not entirely sure that it'll be my sort of game but I am looking forward to it. |

Kinda mean that Bayonetta is a download in the special edition. It's on the cartridge on the Japanese special edition (not sure if it's one big cart, or two smaller ones). |

According to the Zen Forums, PFX3 is nearly unplayable in handheld mode, due to sub 30 fps. I would say that it's better to wait for a patch, but since the game is free it doesn't apply. I was really excited about the concept of the Switch, but apart from Mario and Zelda most games are really struggling with technical issues. Even Slain! and Rayman Legends, which were the kind of game that seemed tailor made for the switch, don't work properly. At least, good news, seems like Stern Pinball works fine, and it's already released in cartridge. I'll wait a bit more before I make my decision about the switch. |

Some games are only struggling because of rushed releases and, as a result, very poorly optimised code (which hastily released patches have mostly corrected). |

Even Xenoblade 2, published by nintendo, has terrible performance in handheld mode. To be honest, i don't mind about that one, because i don't have time to play a game like Xenoblade nowadays. There are many indies being converted to the switch as we speak, so lets see how the next batch fares. |

I agree that compared to the Xbox one version, Pinball FX3 hasn't quite got the frame rate nailed but to say it's nearly unplayable is a bit of a stretch. |

| Post subject: | Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX") |
@ruysan, that is not really my experience at all.. btw . digital foundry calls xenoblade the first game which doesn't hold up in handheld mode, http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... de-too-far While other games are apparantly even smoother.. (remember not that much is happing when docked, it doesn't have to take energy usage into account, but there isn't additional gpu processor or anything) About pinball fx3... since it felt a bit like a present., i haven't looked into it that way, but i certainly didn't find it unplayable |

| Post subject: | Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX") |
Yeah when docked, it ups the clockspeed of the cpu and gpu. I forget whether the fan works at all in handheld mode, or if it just works slower. Then it has to contend with running the same game at a higher resolution. At least in most games, some have resolution parity across both modes. Kind of surprising there isn't the option to force games to run in handheld mode even when docked. In cases where handheld mode has smoother performance but lower resolution, it might be preferable to have the option of just sticking that on your telly instead of switching modes. |

This is one thing that kind of puts me off about consoles. I value FPS more than graphical details, and details much more than resolution (this 4k craze is ridiculous), and at the pc i can at least make the game run my way. I wish consoles gave at least these options even if simpler (e.g. 60 fps vs more graphics) @romanista, I was basing my observations on what i've seen on the Zen Forums. Or maybe they've already patched it. There are already many nice downloadable 2d games released for it (shantae, mummy demastered, axiom verge, steamworld dig), but in most cases is difficult to know how they fare because they don't get the same coverage. |

Re: frame rate options - with the advent of the PS4 Pro developers are offering different options for a lot of games. Obviously if you go for the 4k resolution you're going to be stuck with 30fps but, taking the Naughty Dog games for example, if you choose 1080p you can then also plump for 60fps rather than other extra graphical pretties. I presume the same thing is being done on the Xbox side of the fence as well. |

Not really anything new. That's been a thing in PC games as long as I've been playing them. I do hope we're not going down a path of having to buy a new console every couple of years if you don't want to experience performance problems. |

It depends how you play the Switch but the pro controller is lovely. Apparently the new version that came out with Xenoblade chronicles 2 improves the D pad slightly so that's worth bearing in mind of you do buy one. |

The Hori wired pad is pretty good too. I've started using that for Rocket League and I'm finding it much easier to use than the Joy-Con. Doctor Glyndwr wrote: This thing is lovely. And I haven’t even started up 50% of my games yet. It really is. With my gaming time being at a premium, I'm glad I went with the Switch instead of the PS4. I still haven't started Mario Odyssey yet either, so I have that to look forward to. |

There's a surprising amount of built-in storage, although I'm not sure how much of that Mario Kart might have taken up? I'm not seeing the need to get a card for it in the immediate future. |
