I feel like switch games are now playable. Playing BotW for the first time (beyond the 1h my first attempt) and its fantastic.

How easy is it to play your digital games that you bought on the switch on the switch 2? Do your saves move over?

Bluetooth with virtual sound on to headphones or earbuds is much more impressive than it was on Switch 1.

You think that's bad?

Rune Factory 5 ran fine on the Switch. Come at me.

maybe not your launch Switch, but my switch OLED that I got last year with only 15 games on it is running fine.

im coming at you so hard right now

as the biggest potd rune factory fan, the switch version made me wanna cry. they only could cache one zone back at a time man. if you warped from one building to another, loading the open world afterwards took ages, boy. also the responsiveness felt lacking

and i'm currently playing guardians of azuma at 30-40fps thinking it's silky smooth

i get why there's growing pains but augh. i wish they'd took time to figure out 3d with side games before attempting to transition from 4 to 5. which is kinda my complaint with gamefreak, actually (though even RF5 puts S/V to shame)

Oh, don't get me wrong, it wasn't good. But it was certainly playable and really didn't bother me beyond a background "this should be running better than it is" hanging over the whole experience, knowing how many better-looking and more demanding Switch games were optimized well enough to run so much better (which is also roughly my opinion on S/V, though I consider RF5 more excusable because Game Freak should be held to a higher standard than a recently-resurrected/rebranded Neverland).

I was more bothered by how mediocre a game it was at its core than by the performance issues.
