Oh. My. God. The Nintendo Switch 2 is REAL, you guys! And apparently, Sega, yes, *that* Sega, the one that brought you Sonic and then tragically imploded, is back from the dead to grace us with their presence. Prepare yourselves for a launch lineup so amazing, so revolutionary, that it will make you question everything you thought you knew about gaming. 🤯
Remember the console wars of the ’90s? Sega vs. Nintendo? Good times, good times. Now they are bffs and ready to release some bangers together. Apparently, they’ve decided that instead of, you know, competing, they’d rather team up to sell you the same games you’ve already bought, but this time on a slightly shinier piece of plastic. 🤑
I, being the incredibly important and influential games journalist that I am (my mom thinks I’m cool), got to play these games early. I was hand-delivered the Switch 2 in a briefcase. Here’s the lowdown on Sega’s master plan to take over your Switch 2. 😈
Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut – Now With More Eye-Poking!
So, *Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut* is coming to the Switch 2. Yes, the same *Yakuza 0* that you probably already own on at least two other platforms. But this time… it’s *different*! It’s the *Director’s Cut*! Which means… uh… more cutscenes? Maybe? Who knows! Who cares! It’s *Yakuza* on the Switch 2! I mean, sure, it’s already on the Switch, but this is *Switch 2* so it’s like, 2x better. 🙄
Apparently, the game plays just as smoothly as it did in 2015. Which is great, I guess, if you’re into that sort of thing. Personally, I prefer my games to be choppy and unplayable, because challenge. 💪 The graphics are slightly better, I think. I mean, I *think* they are. It’s hard to tell, because I was too busy marveling at the sheer audacity of releasing this game *again*.
But wait, there’s more! They’ve added a new mode called “Red Light Raid.” In this mode, you can beat up hordes of enemies with your friends! Online! It’s like *Streets of Rage*, but with more eye-poking! I mean, who wouldn’t want to spend their hard-earned money on *that*? 🤷♀️
And the best part? You can use Game Chat! So you can yell at your friends while you’re beating up virtual thugs! Fun for the whole family! 👨👩👧👦
RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army – Because Why Not?
Okay, so this one’s a bit more obscure. *RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army* is a PS2 game that nobody remembers, except for maybe like, five people. But hey, Sega’s bringing it back! For the Switch 2! Because… nostalgia? I guess? 🤔
You play as Raidou, a detective who solves mysteries with the help of demons. It’s like *Pokemon*, but with more trench coats and existential dread! I mean, I’m not complaining. 😈
The graphics have been “noticeably enhanced” from the original. Which is good, because the original looked like it was made out of potatoes. 🥔
They’ve also added a fast travel system! Because walking is for peasants! 👑
All in all, I only played this game for a short time. 🙄
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S – Multiplayer Mayhem! Or Just Plain Mayhem?
Alright, here we go. *Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S*. Because the first *Puyo Puyo Tetris 2* wasn’t enough, I guess? 🤪
This game is exactly what it sounds like: *Puyo Puyo* and *Tetris* mashed together into one chaotic mess. But this time… it’s *more chaotic*! Because it’s on the Switch 2! And it has a “Versus Mode Doubles”! Which means you can team up with a friend to… uh… play *Puyo Puyo Tetris*? I’m not really sure what the point is, but hey, at least it’s multiplayer! 🤝
The game features a variety of Sega characters, including Sonic! Because Sonic is in everything now! He’s like the Mickey Mouse of Sega! Except, you know, not as iconic or beloved. 🦔
And the best part? You can use the Switch 2’s mouse controls! To play *Puyo Puyo*! Which is… an experience, to say the least. 🤪
So there you have it, folks! Sega’s lineup for the Nintendo Switch 2! It’s a mix of old favorites, obscure titles, and games that nobody asked for! But hey, at least it’s something, right? 🤷♂️
Overall, Sega’s offerings are shaping up to be… well, they’re shaping up to be. Let’s just say that. But hey, who knows? Maybe these games will be surprisingly good! Or maybe they’ll be a complete disaster! Either way, it’ll be fun to watch! 😈
The Switch 2 is out in June, so get your wallets ready. You’re gonna need them. 💸
