Fallout 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 arrives to strong reception, offering three graphical modes (Quality/30fps, Balanced/40fps, Performance/60fps) that leverage the Switch 2’s 120 Hz screen with VRR. Docked play targets 1440p/30fps or 1080p/40fps (with dynamic 60fps in many cases), while portable mode sticks to 1080p. The 30fps mode provides the clearest image, 60fps interior runs well but exterior areas can dip; there are no gyro/mouse controls yet. Stability is solid and load times are on par with recent releases. Overall, a surprisingly good port that bodes well for future Bethesda titles on Switch 2.

Square Enix says Final Fantasy 7 Remake isn’t feasible on Nintendo Switch 2 without game-key cards because loading from a cartridge is too slow and cart storage is insufficient for the full game data; the key-card format allows high-speed storage access and data swapping during play. The company notes that, with Switch 2’s performance, a large-scale design like the game’s can be optimized per platform, which is why they released FF7 Remake as a key-card title and plan to bring FF7 Rebirth (and its trilogy) in a similar fashion. The Switch 2 version is already available, with Rebirth due in June.

Kotaku’s review calls Mario Tennis Fever a barebones, perfunctory entry on Switch 2: a short, dull adventure campaign, mostly forgettable modes, and a hefty $70 price tag. The tennis gameplay is the best part but lacks depth, and while online multiplayer works, it doesn’t offer standout features. The reviewer suggests waiting for a sale or opting for Mario Tennis Aces instead, as Fever mostly misses its mark.

Overall, it’s an improved, content-rich entry for fans of Mario sports games, especially those who value multiplayer chaos.
