Nintendo has detailed what’s included in the free Switch game updates which curiously omits frame rate improvements for Link’s Awakening and Echoes of Widom.

Link’s Awakening and EOW are staying at 30FPS? Really? At least it will be stable now, that was the biggest problem with both games

A real head scratcher.

A real head scratcher.

Both games already have an unlocked framerate. When being emulated under the right conditions, they are able to run at 60FPS without mods. Theoretically, the power of the Switch 2 should be enough to reach that threshold.

Very expected and appreciated as someone that buys first party way more than third party.

When your less than 13 days now.

I'll be able to grab mine on day of, but it is going to force me to wake up and walk for a hour to grab it. Don't mind it, but it will be a long morning.

Switch 2’s are in the back room at work.

We’re almost there ladies and gentlemen.

A long listen but it really gives more context for pricing and how foolish it is to think “it’s just Mario Kart!”

Nintendo has updated their backwards compatibility list and it confirms DOOM: Eternal’s previous start up issues will be fixed by an update of some kind. I’m hoping that it and DOOM 2016 basically get upgrades to the “real” versions like Hogwarts Legacy is getting. I’d even pay $10 for each.

At least with mine it says it won’t charge me until it actually ships. That stinks.

I wish I could be more excited for this thing, but I feel like every new announcement I hear about this thing goes like "Switch 2 Charging Cable to cost $95, New feature where it burns down your apartment building".

I'm hoping it can stick the landing, and that the new Mario Kart is recieved well. I also hope I'm able to get one soon, but frankly, I've got other things to pay for. I'd love to get one before Bananza at least, cause that's a game that I'm still totally hyped for, but who knows what stock is gonna look like by July.

This whole thing just kinda stinks.
