I don't usually bounce between games.  Just wasn't enjoying X2 as much as I had hoped and got distracted.

Everyone hits the wall around 13 to 16 hours.

And I had to watch a couple of combat explained videos. Once it clicked it was fun all the way. And X3, really to get the full meaning you have to have played 1 and 2.

It's still its own thing but prior knowledge of past events boosts your enjoyment to max.

So I got in a good session earlier.

Prior to this I'd mostly been interested with seeing how my Switch 1 games would look on the new screen.

Some disappointment with unpatched games but very suprised with patched ones, Odyssey looks nuts.

So I played offscreen Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk 2077.

Yeah this is a next gen upgrade. The screen looks awesome with Mario Kart, blazingly bright and colourful.

Cyberpunk has HDR with a toggle and you can clearly see it working. It's brighter with it off but has a greater contrast and deeper darks and colour when on.

It's not as good as my TV on hdr content but it's still there and works.

Image quality is great, like I expected some baggies but every edge in Cyberpunk looks clean and its so smooth even in quality mode. Everything looks detailed, it looks full console quality only played on a portable. There are a shit ton of options to wade through, once I spent 30 mins tweaking things and adjusting my genital size it was great.

It's got this free camera gyro mode, it almost feels like VR as when you move the screen about to look at things it's like seeing through a window into another world.

Mario Kart I was kind of ambivalent on, I thought I knew everything, didn't think it would impress me. But one grand prix in and it had me grinning ear to ear. It's just fun, I don't even feel it needs a review, it just makes me laugh and smile.

There are some switch 1 games on sale, I might Lego City again as s2 should fix the frame rate on tv play. Im wondering if I buy a game on my OLED will it pop up on the switch 2 and vice versa?

BTW are we using NS2, or S2, or Switch 2 to refer to this console? I'm tired of typing Switch 2.

I really need to test Snowrunner but I don't want to redownload the like 40gb of DLC I bought again.

Can't remember the real figure, at least over 25gb.

Gamers are reporting that unpatched Switch 1 games seem sharper when played on TV.

Probably because the dynamic resolution scaling doesn't need to throttle it back anymore.

And smoother frame rates. A fully customised Animal Crossing island now has no lag. Age of Calmity seems smooth etc.

But they are also saying, like me that in portable mode the resolution sucks with NS1 games in handheld mode NS2

I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 docked. It looks so good. Nice and crisp. Need to tweak gyro sensitivity though.

Our original Switch stopped charging the left joycon. :/ luckily we have an OLED as well, but since the joycon can be used with Switch2 as well I'm now considering buying one of those charger docks.

I bought a very cheap 3rd party charging grip on Amazon. It was £7 with free postage. It's basically a V shape with a usb c cable. But it does the job.

I had a session yesterday where it all just clicked and I had a blast playing. The world is really fun to explore, there are some great challenges, even full hidden mini races. The knock mode is the absolute best, as is driving down a high way on the way to a new track and it's total chaos. It's like Fury Road Mario style.

I had a decent session in free roaming last night and felt the same. It's awesome, I'm going to be using this as the main mode. Don't know why it's hidden on the menu screen under map.
