Took advantage of some birthday offers and got Echoes for next to nothing, and being a Zelda fanboi and collector - have zero regrets getting it, but I'm going to try and hold off as well in the hope that Switch 2 is around the corner.

The game looks playable, but those constant FPS drops to 30 in the overworld look so jarring. No idea why they didn't lock to 30 fps.

Wasn't that bad on Links Awakening (just had a quick play now) but the videos I've seen of the overworld are enough to hold off.

I suspect the unlocked framerate is precisely for ease of backwards compatibility with the new console - they absolutely should put in a locked 30 mode though, the current performance simply isn't good enough.

You'd think they could have just had a detection in the game code so if it's run on the OG Switch then it runs in a locked 30 FPS.

I'm not even asking for that much - just let it be a capped/uncapped toggle and let the player decide. 60 with drops to 30 is just no good for anyone.
 
Surely we would see an announcement soon then?

I just saw that the new Pokemon game has been subject to a data breach, apparently it may be the launch game for the Switch 2.
There was nothing in the breach about the next Pokemon game being a launch game for Switch 2, just that it had been tested on both the current and next console.

I'm new to the switch, normally I play Xbox. Any decent controller I can get that's similar to Xbox? Struggling with the change
The switch pro controller is the best feeling controller of all consoles imo.

Ohh didn't know that they had a proper one, would be a lot easier than the joycon small buttons and sticks



This should actually let you use the Xbox controller on the Switch. Won't have the gyro in some games that may need it, in which case you can get this;

Sounds like a good options, thanks
