On Nintendo Switch 2, Elden Ring doesn’t bring significant alterations, but it marks the most substantial FromSoftware game on the platform since Dark Souls Remastered. This version is optimized to leverage the enhanced capabilities of Switch 2, such as 4K resolution, improved performance, compatibility with a mouse using Joy-Con controllers, and a feature similar to Discord called GameChat, accessible via the console’s ‘C’ button.
A slight drawback with the Zelda Switch 2 editions is that fans will need to spend additional money to access these new features. In a manner similar to Sony’s recent PlayStation updates, fans will need to purchase these improvements to experience improved resolution and frame rate. Although it may be disappointing, this move isn’t entirely unexpected.
The eagerly awaited sequel to Hollow Knight often serves as a running gag during presentations, especially when a Direct is involved. Silksong was initially announced in the year 2019, so fans have been patiently waiting for more than six years now.
Many enthusiasts anticipated that the latest portable gaming device would debut featuring an LCD screen, considering Nintendo’s history of introducing alternative models boasting OLED screens down the line. Indeed, this approach worked well with its predecessor, as players appreciated the variety of options available for selection.
As a gaming enthusiast, I was anticipating the debut of this latest handheld console, hoping it would come equipped with an LCD screen initially. After all, given Nintendo’s history, there was a strong possibility they might introduce an OLED version later on, just like they did with its predecessor. That move turned out to be a hit among fans, offering us the luxury of choice between models.
