Spoke to one of the first people to boot up a Switch 2 and the reason why Nintendo is keeping the consoles locked down with a day one update.

Vibe check: how are you feeling about the Switch 2 launch? Does this feel like a major, once-in-a-decade release? Is the online super fan hype matching your IRL feelings? Getting the growing sense things just feel very OFF (pre-launch) for the arrival of a big new Nintendo toy

Keep the feedback coming! My take is that Switch 2 will still feel (and be) huge once it's out and the TL is flooded with people's pics and Mario Kart World highlights/discoveries. But the lead up is indeed weird, partly because Nintendo has nothing to prove this time.

New Nightreign patch is already making solos a lot better (you get an extra revive at final boss plus way more Runes) Still think having no one to trade aggro with will make it impractical for most players plus the repetition of the grinding phase with no one to chat with.

CDPR stresses that Ciri's character model remains consistent between Witcher 3 and Witcher 4. A new trailer included raised eyebrows and a "relaxed" eye area for improved animation, the latter of which has already been changed again. kotaku.com/witcher-4-ciri…
