• Don't expect Switch 2 emulation to hit as fast as it did for Switch 1, as fan devs are already warning "THIS PROJECT WILL NOT BE READY FOR A DECADE MINIMUM"

  10-11-2025 23:56 via gamesradar.com
  
  The original Switch had a piracy problem. Most gaming platforms do, but the Switch was pretty unique in that some robust emulators were available during the platform's life which allowed pirates to play improved versions of official releases from the day they launched – sometimes even earlier. While some devs are trying to get Switch 2 emulators up and running, they're already warning that this could be a much, much longer process.There are currently two Switch 2 emulation projects of note

  Well, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is suddenly even higher on my list of most anticipated games for next year, despite being a remake, as Square Enix has revealed that its notoriously slow start will be remedied somewhat.I can't think of much that I don't like about the original Dragon Quest 7, but I definitely think there's a correlation between my reluctance to replay it as much as some of my other favorite games, and the absurd length of time it takes to get to the first combat sequence.Thank th
