Was chatting to a friend about how it's a shame there's no big single player story experience on the Switch 2 at launch. Obviously I'm super excited for Mario Kart World, but it's not the same as say BOTW for the original Switch. But today I found out that Raidou Remastered is actually launching a couple of weeks earlier than other platforms on Switch 2 so that it can be a launch title. I was planning to buy it for Switch 2 anyway as with big games like that being able to play it on the go makes up for no trophy list and whatnot; it still took me ages to beat Shin Megami Tensei III on the Switch so I can only imagine how much longer it would have taken me to beat it on a PS5.
Where Raidou is a remaster of a PS2 game it's also priced around £40ish which isn't as big of a hit as many of the other Switch 2 games-but it's good of them, I remember spending full cost price on games like 1-2 Switch and Super Bomberman R (which I definitely got my money's worth with as I played that to death around the launch and still play it to this day). I'm in two minds about whether to cancel my Metroid Prime 4 Switch preorder (£39.85-I preordered it when it first went up in like 2018) for a Switch 2 Edition preorder (£66.85). I don't yet know how much the upgrade will be but I guess even if it's £20 (which would be ludicrous) I'm still saving a bit of money by keeping my Switch preorder.
