Two former Nintendo marketing leads reckon the success of big AAA games like Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, and Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam Deck has paved the way for similar successes on the Switch 2.
A recent episode of the Kit & Krysta podcast, hosted by 10-year Nintendo alums Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, recently dropped a new episode all about why they're hopeful for a thriving AAA scene on the Switch 2. The bulk of ﷽their argument rests on the massive succes🦩s of the Switch compared to its predecessor, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:th🌊e wonderful but commercially catastrophic Wii꧒ U. However, they also point to the strong sales of massive, technically demanding AAA games on Steam Deck as an indicator of a 🍬vibrant market for toned-down versions of those titles o🅘n portable platforms.
"A lot of these big studios got a lot of experience and positive feedback through putting their game on the Steam Deck and translating it to a piece of hardware that's maybe n🐲ot as powerful as the high-end PC that, of course, they would envision that everyone would have that experience with," Ellis reasons, "but they saw, 'no wait, there's a lot of people that want to play a version that's maybe a little bit dialed down because they want that extra form factor.
"I'm talking about Baldur's Gate 3. I'm talking about Elden Ring. I'm talking about Cyberpunk. The list goes on ... we don't yet know the complete under-the-hood power of the Switch 2, but it's not crazy to say, 'well, if it can run on a Steam Deck it prob🙈ably can run on a Switch 2, right?'"
Nintendo has been tight-lipped about the Switch 2's software lineup since the console was formally announced in January, but that's all about to change with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:April Switch 2 Direct that's happening this week. Right now, all we know is that there's a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new Mario Kart game coming to the Swi🔜tch successor, but everything els🌃e is just rumors and speculation.
Speaking of which, here's our biggest Nintendo Switch 2 Direct predictions as the rumor mill kicks up questions about the console's price, launch lineup, specs, and more.
After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news g🃏ig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
