    Personally the only thing I was really interested in was Hyrule Warriors, but we already knew about it. I was disappointed they didn’t have a release date yet, which makes me think this’ll be released in 2026.

    I could be interested in Star Wars Outlaws if they weren’t releasing it as a game-key card. Expecting Ubisoft to complain again after it doesn’t sell that well on Switch 2 either (release the full game on a cartridge!).

      The GCK situation is really sad. :/

      I collect physical games so in my case they’re the worst parts of physical and digital combined and I’d rather consider them “digital only” releases… and since I only buy digital games heavily discounted any game announced in this model has a 1+ year delay for me.

      It’s the main reason I’m not buying a S2 anytime soon… not worth it for the small number of physical exclusives I can play right now.

        Yeah, I collect physical games too, and game-key cards (or the even scammier “code in a box” physical releases) are terrible. I really hope they don’t sell well and publishers reconsider. The only games I have so far for Switch 2 are Mario Kart World and DK Bananza. I got Fast Fusion Neon because it was rather cheap. It also reminded me of playing the Wii U one which was also one of the first releases and digital only.

        The only two third-party games I’m considering to get are Cyberpunk and Hyrule Warriors which I hope is also a proper physical release since it’ll be published by Nintendo.

          There’s a post in the NSCollectors reddit front page joking that they “love GKCs”… because it’s ending all FOMO for collecting and making them save money.

      Yeah I also like the Hyrule Warriors’ take on musou games but I felt kind of burned by Age of Calamity’s dreadful performance. I ended up not playing that much of it.

      Is there any indication that there will be a performance patch for Age of Calamity on Switch 2 ?

        I don’t know if a patch is planned, but I played it on my Switch 2 and there’s a massive difference in performance. Particularly the stages where you drive the divine beasts. On Switch they drop down to like 15 fps or something, on Switch 2 it’s super smooth and feels like a completely different game. Here’s a video.

        It’d be nice to get a patch for extra FPS and more enemies on screen for the Switch 2 though!
