Reggie Fils-Aime is surprised Xbox ‘has not yet embraced the Switch 2’

With the Nintendo Switch 2 having been out for a few months, there aren’t many people we’d like to hear more from on the matter than former—and legendary—Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé.

Fils-Aimé recently shared his thoughts on the Switch 2’s launch and how it has performed so far, applauding many of the decisions that Nintendo has made. However, one aspect remains a head-scratcher for him: he doesn’t understand why Xbox hasn’t been more aggressive in porting its games to the platform.

Reggie Fils-Aimé spoke about this and more during a recent episode of *The Game Business Show* with Christopher Dring. When asked about the Switch 2’s launch, Fils-Aimé offered several insights, but his take on the relatively lukewarm software support on the new console stood out the most.

During the discussion, Dring pointed out that titles like *Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4* have already made their way to Switch 2, and *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle* is set to arrive soon. However, he also noted that Xbox’s presence on the platform has been very light, which is surprising given that making games available on Switch was a key condition imposed by trade authorities to approve Xbox’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

This cautious approach from Xbox raises questions, especially considering the potential of the Switch 2 as a gaming platform. Fans and industry observers alike will be watching closely to see whether Xbox intensifies its support for the console in the coming months.

### Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Review
*Reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox*

If I may really channel my inner Toreador, I have a complicated, love-hate relationship with *Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2* that feels almost impossible to boil down into a simple thesis statement—or certainly a single-digit number.

At times, I want to be alone with it in a moment of passion, and at others, I want to strangle the life out of it. Nested within the things that bug me about it are bits that I love, and in the parts I like the most, I can detect the subtle whiff of things I loathe.

There is a story well worth experiencing that nevertheless let me down brutally in the end. It gets so much right about how it should feel to play as one of the Kindred through every stolen bite and scrappy brawl, while completely ignoring certain crucial aspects of it.

Did I enjoy it? Certainly. That’s an easy yes. Would I recommend it? That’s a much more complicated question.

The thing is, I could say the same about the original *Bloodlines* as well, despite the two being such different animals. Both are deeply flawed, yet unique and remarkable bites at the apple. Or, I guess, the jugular. And that may be the best compliment I can pay it.
