Nintendo Switch: 7 Year Switch

Red Rox: Aug 24, 2004; Motel Midnight off the hook

I bought Doom Eternal on the recent sale and man I must be getting old because I really suck at it. Maybe it's cause I'm playing it in handheld mode, but I just can't seem to get into the right flow, I'm struggling to hit anything. It's like it moves too fast for me, and stuff like how the left trigger is for a secondary mode, rather than aiming, really messes with me for some reason.

I had to turn the difficulty down to actually get anywhere - so shameful. It's like there are too many options for battles and I end up mostly just zipping around using the flaming shotgun hook, which is still a lot of fun, but maybe kinda boring. Also I sometimes feel sorry for the old ladies when they sit next to me on the bus - the glory kills are pretty gruesome lol.

The music is hilarious though - prob my fav part.

My kid bought Mario maker 2 with his saved up money and Im proud to say he got some likes and even a comment on the goofy little kid levels he uploaded. I have no idea how people are finding his levels but good for Nintendo for promoting them in whatever way they're doing it. Proud parent moment

I only watched an LP of Eternal and even from that I can tell that the game is too fast and visually busy for me. It was just an overstimulation nightmare even trying to watch that game being played by someone else.

those other things aren't really options, the game fully expects you to juggle all your cooldowns like an MMO if you want to get anywhere. you really get shoehorned into using them

This is definitely why I�m struggling. My tactic in most big battles is to fly around the arena like a headless chicken shooting one gun until I run out of ammo, then switching to the next.

The thought of switching between grenade and ice bomb and using the flame thrower and the quick swap to skip reloads, and trying to do it all at the same time, gives me anxiety.

Luckily I just picked up the BFG which solves a lot of my problems.

"no load times" is such a stupid claim even for clickbait

Maybe on a first party nintendo optimized game but man they are underestimating how badly a game can be designed

It mostly works fine for PS5, yeah you occasionally get a poorly optimised indie game or Atlus deliberately slowing loading down so you can read the loading messages but 99% it does as advertised.

There's a "new" playlist that I'm sure you've seen, and I think it kind of gets rotated out very often. There are people in the MM2 community who just want to rack up "first clears" (which is a stat for how many times you've been the first person to clear a level), and also world records. Not saying they weren't interested but it's a lot easier to get a level played by randoms if it has a 0/0 clear rate (successes/attempts) than if it has anything higher than that.

Also, post the codes!

Edit: here's our official SMM2 thread.

at least on medium difficulty you can think of the secondary weapons as powerup dispensers with an extra step. low on ammo, it�s chainsaw time. need armor, out comes the flamethrower

Switch 2 rumors coming fast and furious these days.

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-ampere-powered-soc-for-next-gen-nintendo-switch-2-handheld-spotted/amp/

quote:

Discovered by @Kepler_L2, it looks like NVIDIA has worked on at least two custom SOCs based on the Ampere GPU architecture which might possibly be integrated within the Nintendo Switch 2 handheld. These two SOCs include the T234 and T239 and were spotted within NVIDIA's GitHub "Open-GPU" section. The interesting part about these listings is that both SOCs are featured under the Ampere architecture so we are looking at GPU features that are on par with the GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards.

�

Recently, we have been hearing a lot of rumors regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 handheld. These rumors basically come after Gamescom 2023 where the device was showcased to select media & behind closed doors. According to rumored details, the Nintendo Switch 2 handheld was running various games at 4K 60 FPS natively and is also said to offer full support for Ray Tracing & NVIDIA's DLSS technologies. The Switch 2 handheld was shown to run the Unreal Engine 5 Matrix Awakens demo with NVIDIA DLSS 3.1.

Just to point out that the NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction technology is supported across all RTX GPUs so it should also be compatible with the Ampere architecture featured on the Switch 2 handheld however, Frame Generation is something that might be missing from the handheld since that feature only works on the newer Ada Lovelace GPUs. In addition to the tech features, Nintendo is said to feature up to 12 GB of RAM on its Switch 2 handheld but the exact type isn't mentioned yet.

Here�s the tech demo it was allegedly running at gamescon.

The Matrix demo's an impressive headline but how much does it actually tell us? Unreal's really scalable right? I don't know if that demo's publicly available but presumably you could turn down the settings and have it running on much weaker hardware than the XBSX/PS5 demos that footage exists for, just at lower resolution/detail/framerate etc

True, but if that was done with the Swutootch (Sw2tch), wouldn't the headlines read "Switch 2 runs matrix demo at low settings/barely at all"?

I'm not like a tech guy but the immortals of aveum game runs unreal engine 5 and on the Series S it basically maintains 60fps while turning parts of itself into a crazy looking PS2 game

Spring release would be dope.

If they announce it's backwards compatible I'm not sure how that'd cannibalize their game sales.
