For this week, my 2 Cents Nintendo/Gaming for the week of February 1 to 7, 2026, I give my thoughts on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds didn’t do well, Nioh 3 could be making its way to other systems, Nintendo released their latest financial report, & My thoughts on the Partner Showcase - https://youtu.be/rbPl3ZZ2YGg

34:16 - Part 4 Partner Showcase
35:40 - What I like (Partner Showcase)
40:14 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Partner Showcase)
Square Enix shows its support with The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales & Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Capcom shows its support as well with Monster Hunters Stories 3, Pragmata & Resident Evil Requiem (with amiibo out this summer)
Tokyo Scramble looks interesting
Falcom Kyoto Xanadu looks interesting
Nice to see Ganblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Rangnarok & Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn Edition are coming to Switch 2
Bethesda shows us Oblivion Remastered, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (now confirmed to be in a Switch 2 cart) & Fallout 4 on Switch 2
What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure
While Bethesda's announcements were good, some games (like Doom The Dark Ages) were missing (not to mention Fallout 4 & Oblivion Remastered are a code in a box)
Missed opportunity for Microsoft (outside of Bethesda) to show some of their games for the Switch 2.
Knowing that a majority of 3rd parties games on Switch 2 will either be a game key card or code in a box (code in a box is the worst)
No real “WOW” moment for this direct (since most of these games a lot of folks knew they were coming to the Switch 2)

14:32 - Overall
Pro
Visuals and gameplay/combat still hold up well
Runs fine at 30fps
The open-world part is still enjoyable
The online part isn’t bad
Cons
While the visuals are an improvement over the WiiU version, it still doesn’t look as good as Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, & 3 (1 being a remastered/remake of the Wii version)
The arts combat is still good, but it would have been nice if given the option to change the arts combat to the ones used in 2 & 3
No Switch 2 enhancement so far
Some missions felt like I was stuck until I turned on the online mode

Difficulty spike might turn some folks away (though there is an assist mode)
No Switch 2 enhancement
