See that’s the problem

The only reason to buy a Nintendo console is first party games

Whereas a Ps5 or PC is better for 3rd party games

So if the 1st party output isn’t there my switch 2 is going to collect dust

I feel like they were just clearing out announcements that won’t be in the main direct. They did this before the April direct too

Direct next week

They did it before in 2020

Partner direct one week, Nintendo direct the week after

Vibes are back

Hades 2 1.0 ain’t coming this year is it?

I feel like it definitely is

Im a huge Katamari Fan, and Octopath fan 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Point wasnt that all of these games is something im gonna play. But that there was at least something out there for a bunch of ppl.

Im not a Madden fan. But im sure some kid is excited to play Madden on their switch.
I already have Persona 3 on PS5. But a lot of Persona fans were holding out on Reload because they wanted it on Switch

🤷🏾‍♂️

Lmao gotcha

I really wish I kept up on it but I have been just playing other things. I have a friend who keeps showing me new shortcuts but he still hasn't even bought a switch 2 lmao. Im sure I'd have more feelings on the VS talk you mentioned but so far I just kinda don't care yet

Pokemon gen 9 on the other hand I've been going hard af on. The event is so good for valuable items farming, I played through the main game of scarlet for the first time, and am now ev training for a comp team while also trying to complete the 3 Pokedexs in violet. I never did the whole dlc 2 so I finished that too

The update makes it like an entirely new experience even if I dropped like 70 hours into violet on the original switch anyways. In total of gen 9 I'm at like 130 or so now

dropped the game after that god awful update

• Monster Hunter Stories 3
• Madden
• Pac-Man World RePac 2
• Final Fantasy Tactics
• Persona 3
• Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment
• Yakuza Kiwami 2
• The Adventures of Elliot
• Octopath Traveler 0

All games that interested me during this Partner Showcase

HELA was the highlight for me. Looks like a cool 3D platformer. 2026 though which sucks! Game looks dope

My only issue was it weirdly didn’t have anything PS / Xbox 1st party ports which I think we all assumed was gonna be here

I played the Elliot demo earlier. Game is pretty dope so far. Def copping that

And yeah I’m excited for Madden as well haha. Gonna be nice to play it handheld. I’m just a casual player tho

Game awards shadowdrop

I had pac-man world 2 on my hypothetical for something that would happened I was entirely shocked to see it actually did lol.

Outside of that nothing else really moved me. No desire to play persona 3 again anytime soon, all the other ports I have on my steam deck.

The 2nd ever Switch 2 physical game to go on sale!

Wack direct, but Adventures of Elliot looks really cool and has piqued my interest definitely
I love the 2DHD style man

F*** this new ninja gaiden seems to be peak, im honestly happy it don't got a switch 2 patch yet so i wont get tempted to buy it anytime soon, but its high up in my priorities when it does get one in the future

These games are surprisingly enjoyable imo so this will be good to pick up on Switch 2
