Digital Foundry on Hogwarts Legacy Switch 2 version confirms:

- Running at PS4 Levels.

-720P(internal) 30FPS.

- Closer to Base PS4 than Series S.

-Lower Textures, Lower Shadow Resolutions than Series S.

-Using alot of PS4 Assests.

- Huge difference in assests between Switch 2 and Series S(Series S being the better versions of those assests).

-Switch 2 version is using upscaling Tech That is worse than Any DLSS and FSR version in the market.

-Did not look as impressive or have the same splendor as the PC,PS5, Series X versions.

-Has concerning Framedrops during battles.

All this was in 'Docked mode' which is concerning.

In Conclusion:
Switch 2 is nowhere near a PS5, it's clear that it's closer to a Base PS4 more than anything else.

I used to do midnight/early morning releases, but too much risk nowadays. Having a bunch of tired happy nerds holding expensive electronics while filming themselves walking back to their car = honeypot for thieves.

Even in the best parts of town it's really easy to get mugged in the parking lot.

edit: Stay safe for anyone going out for midnight release. Keep those eyes on a swivel!

I mean, nobody is buying a switch 2 to play 3rd party titles....

NOBODY.


That said, i think 450 for 80 dollar nintendo games, based on the above, is a tad overpriced.

I got a Best Buy preorder that I will pick up that morning (frick going to the midnight release) and also snagged a Target preorder that will come in the mail

Anyone else planning on selling their extra unit if you were able to secure multiple preorders?

My kids play plenty of 3rd party titles on their switch and will on their switch 2 as well. I’m fairly certain we’re not the only people in existence who do this.

I think hades is all i ever played on my switch. It was an amazing game and it ran fine. But other than that, why?

I usually only ever play docked, i bet next year i get a used one for 300 and i'll replay zelda's with a pro controller and have a blast.

Honestly I'm pretty stoked about the Zelda Notes app. I'll 100% my existing save of TotK and start a new BotW file.

I got 2 preorders (delivery from Walmart, pickup from Best Buy). I'm driving 600 miles to surprise my Mom with the extra one.

Any extras I get are going to friends/family.

Safe travels getting back home with it. You may need to take a plane black garbage bag with you to disguise your haul.

Gun to my head, I couldn't tell you where a Staples store in Metro Atlanta is in 2025.
