It look good just wondering what price switch 2 games will cost hopefully the same as switch 1 games.

Dam wasn't expecting that seem expensive usually just buy first party Nintendo games.

Assume this will be like Mario Kart world and won't be playable on original switch?! Damn you Santa for bringing the switch in December, why didn't you wait one more year?! Stupid Santa

Does anyone think this game will have some traditional platforming elements to the gameplay such as challenging jumps and sequences, puzzles etc or will it just be smash your way through to the end of each level while digging for bananas?

Seems to have been made by the same team as Mario Odyssey, so I'd imagine there will be a lot of platforming and they really haven't played their cards yet on what's available in the game.

But, just wait and see the reviews when it's released.

I have this pre-ordered but sad that it isn't quite a launch title, some four weeks later.

Still, looking forward to it.

I'm very tempted to pick up Cyberpunk though, but it is pricey compared to the versions available on my other devices.

I don't think it makes sense to get 3rd party games on Nintendo hardware if you can play them much better and cheaper elsewhere. It does look like CP is superbly optimized for Switch 2, and it all comes on the cartridge (sans patches). And you can play it handheld of course. CDPR know if they get it right, it'll be a constant seller for the lifetime of Switch 2.

One selling point for the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk is the fact it's got cross save/progression so you can play the other versions at home and then just use Switch 2 on the go.

Though wonder how it would work with mods, such as character creation mods. Does it somehow keep the character appearance or do you get a default character. Do you ever actually see the character? I guess there are mirrors.

It does. At least from the time I got to play the opening level it has those kind of challenges and puzzles. Pretty sure also some Bananas that I would have to come back to later with new skills or abilities.

I wonder if they will throw in some Nintendo specific items, a sword from Xenoblade, the tablet device from breath of the wild

I hate stuff like that because it breaks the "universe" the game is in and takes me out of the game. And feels like product placement. Astro bot on PS is like that. And then there was Zelda stuff in Skyrim on the Switch.

Same with the Mercedes car in MK8, looks crap and out of place.

Astrobot doesn't really count, it is pure Playstation fan service, all about it's heritage as a gaming platform.

Pity Nintendo hasn't followed suit, given it's even longer history in the business.
