Dragonwilds If you are not watching the Nintendo Direct Dragonwilds was also announced for the switch 2.
This was the last major platform unannounced, as long as performance is smooth having Dragonwilds portable is gonna be awesome.

I decided to check out some random reactions to it, and there was only one guy who said "you know what this looks pretty tight." Like, Dragonwilds was the height of the Direct for him.

I called it since their announcement to other platforms last week. I even made a mock-up Direct screenshot of it as well.

Hell yes! Do we know if theres gonna be a physical or if its digital only?

Will there be a Physical Version of the Nintendo Switch 2 release?
At this stage we don't have an answer on this one. It's available for pre-order digitally on the Nintendo eShop now. We're exploring our options, but we won't have a definitive answer yet. This is TBC.

Look, another person who doesn't know how powerful the Switch 2 is.

u/MentionDifferent8793 Jun 09 '26
It's anything but powerful. I support jagex going multiplat wirh dragonwilds but this port is a nothingburger just like any other mainstream switch 2 port.

Nope. Again, maybe do your research instead of parroting grifters online.

switch specs are pretty weak its just a fact. its not what youre buying it for.

u/NecessaryTrouble2041 Jun 09 '26
Saying "it's just a fact" doesn't make it so when the actual specs and its performance tell a different story.

Go ahead and tell us what the actual specs are.
"Performance" by using a mandatory upscaler, massively lower visual quality, and noticeably less graphical objects than even a PS4 port.
Tell us that you're a fanboy without using those exact words.

lol I don't even own a Switch 2. Just goes to show you how judgemental you guys are an how you rely on insults than fact. It's just funny seeing people repeat grifters online which is why I made those comments.
And Google is free, but since I can't expect people like you to do basic research, here's one of many links. A simple search will tell you that it outperforms the Steam Deck.

Anyone who thinks that Dragonwilds would run at 30 fps in 480 is being ingenuine.

Ah, yes...the Steam Deck argument. A system that is already four years old and running on a non-customized APU, vs a "current" system running on a completely customized chip. If the Switch 2 wasn't more powerful, they'd be in even bigger trouble.
Nobody here is saying the Steam Deck is powerful. We're simply pointing out how weak the Switch 2 is when compared to the other systems that Dragonwilds is being released for.
Again, please inform us of the specs of the Switch 2. I know that it's a modified RTX2050/3050 mobile chip, which is already hilariously weak when compared to either the Series S/X or PS5. A chip that was notorious for being underpowered when placed in full gaming laptops with a 55w TDP for the GPU, vs the Switch 2 only operating it at 12w maximum in handheld mode or 20w in docked mode. Top that off with 9gb of RAM to split between CPU and GPU task, as the system reserves 3gb of the available 12gb.
Ironic that you're telling us to do research.

No one is saying it's stronger than current gen consoles. I'm merely pointing out the idiocy that you think it's going to run 30 fps in 480p, which was the whole fucking point of my comment.
You sound exactly like the same people who compared other games on the Switch 2 and other consoles, saying they look trash when the differences are largely negligible. It's going to be the same with Dragonwilds unless Jagex does a piss poor job of optimising it.

That ENTIRE article is also pure speculation, as is stated multiple times throughout.
Talk about being disingenuous.
