You look at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. You look at Xenoblade Chronicles. You're like, what the fuck happened? How is this possible?
all that stuff right i think it serves a particular sect of the nintendo audience that is very important for like that hardcore side of gaming totally story number four nintendo fans surprised to find switch 2 edition game cartridges also work on switch 1 this comes from tom phillips at ign Nintendo fans have known for some time that Switch 2 is backwards compatible with Switch 1.
But what happens when you do the reverse and stick a Switch 2 game in a Switch 1? God, people are fucking weird, but I get it. Yeah, you know? Insert a Switch 2 only game. This reminds me of back in the PS1 days when I was just... You know? I know exactly what you're going to say, by the way. I know, I know. But I want to take it a step further. Yeah. There's nothing cooler in the world than CDs.
Yeah. In the 90s. I agree. Specifically. Like, CDs were so cool. That Monster Rancher game, so fucking cool. Turned CDs into monsters. Are you kidding me? AOL giving out these things in the streets. Me and Kevin using them as Frisbees towards each other. Weapons.
But, you know, they're cool as hell. And some PS1 games, you put it into a CD player and it would play music.
So cool. Really cool. Twisted Metal, man. Never forget. Insert a Switch 2-only games like Mario Kart World and Switch 1, and Nintendo's last-gen console will simply display an error message saying the software is designed for Switch 2. But pop a Switch 2 edition cartridge of games also available on Switch 1, like Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild, and it works. Whoa. What's going on here?
Well, Nintendo itself hasn't gone into detail, but packaging for Switch 2 Edition games looks like absolute ass and does note that cartridges contain both the original game and the Switch 2 upgrade. I editorialized a little bit in there. You can guess what part. This Nintendo Switch 2 Edition comprises the Nintendo Switch game and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack.
The upgrade pack is also available separately. So in other words, when you put a Switch 2 edition cartridge in the Switch 1, the older console knows to ignore the Switch 2 bit and just play the original game. Nintendo doesn't appear to have ever stated in plain English that this is how some Switch 2 edition cartridges operate, but it's a useful feature to be aware of. I...
Didn't realize this, but I did realize something kind of similar. Yesterday, I was playing Tears of the Kingdom a little bit when Mario Kart wasn't ready to download or anything yet, and I just had it on my monitor, which isn't 4K, but it was running way better, and I was very impressed with it. I was like, I can't believe it looks this good.
And then I realized, I was playing the Switch 1 version. It wasn't even the upgrade pack on the Switch 2. Then I got the Switch 2, and I was like, oh my god, this is even better. So, Switch 1 games just playing on the Switch 2 are better. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. I saw people's Smash Ultimate loading way faster.
The placebo switch. Smash Ultimate already ran.
flawlessly all things considered in terms of the gameplay but I was watching videos of it loads faster into levels and the thing that was really impressive to me of like oh I see the difference is when you're on the character select screen cycling between colors of outfits it's instant like literally fucking instant so it's like alright cool does that matter no but like it's just cool to know it's like alright cool these games are better even without any type of patch or update so cool
I love that. Yeah. Any thoughts? I mean, yeah.
interested in the next month of coverage of nintendo as a whole and like all the digital foundry videos of breaking things down like actually getting the numbers of things just because i'm interested in that stuff uh but i'm also interested in just like the weird things that come up or like the stories that we're gonna learn because something i've been fascinated by is nintendo's insistence on transferring your switch one to your switch two and then it just like deletes everything from your switch one
Yeah, if you do the system transfer.
Yeah, all your stuff. Yeah, you're right. Like your whole account, all the stuff. And I'm like, that's cool, I get it. But I imagine there's a lot of people that still want their Switch Ones for some reason. You know? So it's like... Wait, your account's getting deleted from your Switch One? All the data on your Switch One is being transferred.
Kevin, could you do me a favor and grab the white Switch OLED from my desk? Yes, sir. Because I actually haven't seen what happens afterwards. Let me check.
Yeah. Because those, that's, those are the games that don't have cloud saves.
correct so that's the only like the only way that save exists but outside of that like i think maybe as far as the virtual game card stuff yeah like i probably wouldn't be able to play my digital games unless i switch the game cards back i presume yeah but like everything's still the same yeah here's my thing like someone in the chat says timby spreading lies i'm trying to not spread lies i want to like fact check right now to figure this out but what i will say is that's what the thing said when you're transferring it says it will delete your stuff from your other switch interesting so maybe nintendo's lying everybody wouldn't be the fucking for
Hold on though. To play this game, you'll first need to load the virtual game card on the system. Yes.
