Let's have a comfy Switch 2 thread lads

Is that a thing? Where is that?

The only game I'm interested in so far is Bananza, so I don't care if I don't get my order for a month.

Southeast Asia for example. Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines ... 26 June

nintendo.com/sg/switch2/index.html
June 26 for Singapore, yet somehow no price or pre-orders yet

That sucks but at least it's 2 weeks and not 6 months

It's so close even to Japan, wtf. I will have some sriracha in honour of your sacrifice.

I'm getting the MKW bundle. I still have Switch games I haven't finished (Xenoblade X most notably), so they'll stave me off until Bananza.
I'm considering Kunitsugami and Rune Factory too

I got an email saying it was delayed and that I will be getting it on... release day, so I'm confused.

Wake me when it has a display worth giving a shit about.

there will be plenty in supermarkets I'm sure of it. They would't advertise so much if they didn't have some stock ready

PS5

900$ (800$ console + 100$ online) for 480p 35 fps and zero games

Xbox

850$ (730$ console + 120$ for online) for 360p 25 fps and zero games

Steam Deck

PC but with 50% performance for 90% price

Switch 2

470$ (450$ console + 20$ online) for 4k 60 fps for shitload of kino games

I’m going to Japan soon but the shops there probably aren’t going to be selling the global switch 2 models…

bricks at the slightest change in voltage

LOL

Shitch poo is 360p, 12 fps

Are you also from the region? I’m having a lot of trouble finding literally anybody else online who’s also from this region and unhappy about how we’re being treated with the switch 2

It's 4k 60 fps tho

I'm not bro, I'm from Europe. but I understand it sucks. you are so close to Japan and you still have to wait longer. not fair

what did you preorder?

I got the MKW bundle, Donkey Kong Bananza, and a screen protector. Part of me says I should also get a case, the Pro 2 controller, and an SD Express card but I'm not 100% sure on the last two items (I'll more than likely need the SD card even with the Switch 2 having 256 GBs of internal space and I'm not sure how the Switch Pro 2 Controller compares to the Switch Pro Controller).

Will you get everything on release day?

I'll be picking up the console bundle and the screen protector on Thursday (DK Bananza will be next month), the GameStop I preordered from is doing an Eastern Time midnight release which means I'll get my Switch 2 around 9-10 PM.

did you take Thursday and Friday off from work?

I'm self-employed so I can take as much time as I want off. That said I should be busting my ass off to make some scratch for Worlds, I already have a multi-day spectators ticket for that and I'm working on getting a hotel room.

Thanks for the understanding, bro
But you see the issue, barely anybody from this region (I’m from Singapore) seems to care about the switch 2 delayed release, I’ve asked in multiple threads and nobody else from the region has said anything. Furthermore, Singapore is a fully developed country and one of the most well-known global economies, it’s important enough to Nintendo that they opened a pop-up shop here as well as a permanent Pokemon Center, in addition to the Mario Kart track; yet not important enough for Nintendo to open an official eshop or access to NSO; or even any kind of official subsidiary?? (Singapore is the only one of the 4 asian tigers to not have any of the aforementioned, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea all have official Nintendo subsidiaries and eshop/NSO access, and they didn’t get the Mario Kart track)

How do you get the upgrade? Is it cheaper buying a Switch 1 version + upgrade?

Xenoblade X

Makes me nervous that Nintendo hasn't said how any Monolith game will run on Switch 2

so how do you access the eshop and NSO? strange decision

X has a hidden 60fps mode, it is practically confirmed. also Nintendo owns Monolith Soft, you can be sure there will be updates. soon I hope, I want to replay XC 2 and 3 and play the first one for the first time

Monolith are the KINGS of optimization. If anyone can do it, they can. Imagine Xenoblade games in fucking 4K on a big screen

I got the Mario Kart bundle with a procontroller and the camera (it was all part of a bundle)

Also bought a GameCube controller. Buying Cyberpunk 2077 and Fast Fusion at launch.

I have NSO so I'll get the BotW/TotK upgrades and GameCube titles. Plenty to keep me busy.

People here (including me) just create an American nintendo account with a fake address set to a tax-free region of the US to access eshop and NSO and nobody has faced any consequences for this
Also, if you look at the Nintendo SEA facebook page:
(facebook URL)/NintendoSEA/
They initially said that “we are working to set up nintendo eshop and nintendo switch online”, but the recent announcement now only mentions NSO (because of how it’s tied to gamechat), does this mean that they gave up on setting up an official eshop for whatever reason? It’s never made sense how Nintendo treats this region, especially Singapore
I was also worried about whether everything I bought on my (American) nintendo account would smoothly transfer over if they opened a Singapore eshop, but looking at the disappearance of the mention of setting up an eshop for the region, I’ll probably stick to my American account

I'm pretty immpressed that they managed to keep so many things secret until the very last release week. It really shows how unreliable journos are. they are the ones feeding the leakers and not the other way round.

Pre-ordered the base console, will get Yakuza Zero DC and Kunitsugami as my first games and probably the tour demo too
It's because these games are handled by different studios even if they're technically Nintendo's IPs, so they may be doing the upgrades at their own pace

Astral Chain & Bayonetta were developed by Platinum

Fire Emblem is from Intelligent Systems

Xenoblade games are created by Monolith

There were also partnerships with Bamco, MAGES, ArcSys, etc. amongst other Nintendo games

But following that logic, Pokemon SV is developed by Game Freak and it’s getting an update

I kind of understand you because in many countries in Europe we have the same problem with Microsoft. we have official support for their services and software, but we don't have official support for Xbox. if you want to use it you have to choose another country, UK for example. retarded to the extreme. and this has been going on for years, since the first Xbox and they still haven't done anything, like they don't want our money. if you ask them why they say "they keep expanding markets blah blah blah". just shut the fuck up and DO SOMETHING FOR REAL

no problems with Nintendo and Sony here

MKW Bunduru
Pro2 controller
512GB Lexar MicroSD Express
BoTW (only had it on WiiU before)

Probably not getting it until week after next, since BigW are Big Gay.

Nintendo owns 100% of Monolith Soft

Mario Kart World bundle

gonna get Bravely Default digital

gonna play Wind Waker and F-Zero and the Pokemon Violet patch day one too

I've got the Thursday and Friday off work so it'll be mega comfy.

Can you buy the digital games on the online store yet? Probably couldn't hurt to get BD ahead of time.

I've been playing a bunch of classics out of hype and enjoying them a lot, but after getting the alt title screen on Mario Kart 64, not sure what next. I started Goldeneye but then they announced that they're adding button remapping next week so I'll wait for that.

I've been playing a bunch of classics out of hype and enjoying them a lot, but after getting the alt title screen on Mario Kart 64, not sure what next. I started Goldeneye but then they announced that they're adding button remapping next week so I'll wait for that.

I just recently found out that there's an extra N64 app for mature games. I'd been missing out playing Perfect Dark.

I guess Nintendo is just weird about my country like Xbox is with yours, why aren’t they putting in the effort to truly set up global access and build a proper global customer base?
And another thing, look at the Nintendo Today press release:
nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2025/250327.html

40 countries and regions, including Japan and the US. In full: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, United Kingdom, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, United States. Planned for release in 2025:

Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan
Why the hell are they not making it available in SEA or Singapore? What possible excuse is there for them to not make the app available in Singapore when every other Asian major economy gets it? Even weirder is that Singapore does have access to Mario Kart Tour, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete, FE Heroes and Mario Run, but not Nintendo Today, Nintendo Music or the official NSO app and i don’t understand this

My GameStop preorder online is now saying its processing the order now, do they actually deliver on release day?

Is Hitman World Assassinations worth picking up?

Well, I'll have to wait an extra week cuz shithole logistics, but I have MK bundle and new Dong pre-ordered. And of course Prime 4, the SW2 version. And I'll have to pay for online to transfer data from my switch. I want the pro controller 2, but that can wait.
Still thinking which brand SD card I should get. Probably Sandisk. Bro has a bunch of lexar cards and flash drives and I don't hear him complaining, but then I see the stuff laying on his desk, collecting dust. I wonder if built-in storage can last until samsung rolls out their cards.
Still, it really sucks that only launch game is MK and even DK is a whole month away. Have 0 interest in CrippleBall and paid Astro Playroom. ffs a paid demo. And it will sell well, I'm sure of it.

MKW Bundle

Switch 2 Pro Controller

Gamecube Controller

Big Carrying Case

Third-party Screen Protector

Third-party small hard case

Rune Factory

Donkey Kong Bananza

Raidou

TOTK Switch 2 Version

CyberPunk 2077

stupid. have you ever asked them directly?

What do you hope we'll get in the Direct?
Since Pokemon is October there's pretty good chance they will announce a big Holiday release there.
Or it could be a Monolithsoft game like Xenoblade in December 2017

I'm not worried about hardware optimizations, I just think it's odd no Xeno game is mentioned in any improvement list provided by Nintendo.
Yes we have "Switch 2 edition games" like BotW, but Mario Odyssey is getting a free resolution and performance patch too.
Xenoblade is not listed in either category.

Remember that Red Dead 2 is 30 fps even on Series X and PS5 because Rockstar hasn't unlocked any framerates, despite hardware capabilities.

what did you preorder?

MKW cartridge, console and pro controller. MKW and the games I've saved will be plenty.

will you get everything on release day?

I don't think so unless Amazon sends it on Monday. Might have to dip offline to avoid spoilers. What I want right now is a June direct and for them to talk about upgrades for Smash and Splatoon 3. I've also haven't bought Wonder yet because I'm sure they're gonna announce some kind of expansion for that. It's gonna be a great year for gaming. Gonna upgrade my setup too. Buy OLED for my PC setup and later get a big oled for console gaming in general

Is Hitman World Assassinations worth picking up?

Only if you're really into Hitman. Otherwise I'd recommend Cyberpunk 2077 if you've never played it.

Forget whatever shitposting you saw about Cyberpunk at launch. Those days are long gone. The game has been worked on massively since then. Switch is getting the full 2.0 next gen version AND the expansion pack - which another whole 20-30 hour adventure seamlessly blended into the main quest.

Anyone picking this up for Switch is getting one of the best single player games of the past decade by far.

I heard Perfect Dark is even worse without button remapping than Goldeneye, but haven't tried it myself. So glad they're adding it for N64 man

I have the N64 pad so it never really occurred to me. But it's good they're adding the button mapping now.

I doubt that will work, but I’ll just see what they do for switch 2 release; but the lack of mentioning Singapore as a place where the Nintendo Today app might release doesn’t give me high hopes (I really don’t see why they aren’t making Nintendo Today available worldwide without restriction since it doesn’t require NSO or a nintendo account or any purchases to use)

just the bundle for now, thinking about getting procon 2 later

famiboards.com/threads/switch-2-is-set-to-release-in-singapore-thailand-malaysia-and-philippines-in-july-september-up-release-date-moved-up-to-june-26.13282/
"[Nintendo Switch 2] will be released in July-September 2025 in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. [Nintendo is] working to launch online services, including Nintendo Switch Online and the Nintendo eShop in these four countries."

I cannot rest until I see that shipping notification.

Fuck off retard

Hit the gym PC vegan you don't want to be dropping your troonheld

I doubt anyone cares but Amazon just leaked that Star Wars Outlaws launches on September 4th, and it comes with seasons pass.

I guess keep an eye out for more leaks

completely forgot i preordered one

i don't even fuckin want it, will just send it back prolly

nintendo.com/sg/hardware/switch2/index.html
Yes, but I already said earlier that all mention of the nintendo eshop being prepared for these regions is now removed and the recently updated official webpage as well as the newest facebook post only talks about NSO being prepared for launch, no longer any mention of the eshop

Console, Pro Controller, the 4 new Zelda Amiibos, Mario Kart, Dankey Kang, and then also a console+mario kart bundle for my brother.

Nintendo saw Singapore on the world map and thought it said Singapoor, sorry dawg

The Nintendo website store (UK version, not sure if other ones are the same) is a little scummy about the game key card thing

lists format as "Physical"

doesn't mention anywhere in the body of the text or in the main images that it's actually a Game Key Card version

the only give away is that the tiny cover art lower down has a barely visible banner at the bottom

isn't even mentioned in the product details lower down

Does anyone feel like DK and Prime 4 are done and the are staggering the lineup out? In general the launch lineup feels sorta slim

Never mind, I'm retarded, it is mentioned in the paragraph under the main pics. Still feel like it shouldn't just be listed as "physical" though.

Nintendo does stagger releases because Switch 2 will be sold out anyways. Same reason why they wouldn't release every big hitter launch year because there's no point.

All big companies stagger their releases, so yes, absolutely.

i have a really long train ride later in June, I hope I'll have a Switch 2 by then because I missed my preorder window like a dumbass

Releasing games one at a time, even if they were done long ago, allows each game you make room to breathe from each other and ensures a steady stream of releases throughout the year.

Does anyone feel like DK and Prime 4 are done and the are staggering the lineup out?

Yes, Nintendo does this with their games.

In general the launch lineup feels sorta slim

We're missing one more big Switch 2 exclusive, but it might end up being Age of Imprisonment. Which would be a lame way to close the year but oh well.
I say this because Pokémon got pushed to October from its usual November release date. Which means they have something bigger than Pokémon in November.
I think we will see MK in June, DK in July, AirRiders in August, Metroid Prime 4 in September, Pokémon in October, November : ??? ( unless it's Air Riders on Age of Imprisonment), December Age of Imprisonment

Nintendo are known to hold onto games in an almost complete state for a very long time, hell Totk reportedly was fully playable a whole year before it released, they just spent the last year QA testing and ironing out bugs.

live in Japan

couldnt beat preorder shut-ins

scalpers already trying to sell preorders on JP Amazon

Hopefully I can get one before that new DK comes out.

Yeah they delayed TOTK a whole year to polish it but that's a huge open world game with complicated game mechanics. I still think media takes Nintendo polish almost for granted because tons of other games come out buggy and it doesn't affect the scores at all.

Im just wondering when I should pick one up , Like will there be a direct that announces more first parties soon?

There is nothing comfortable about child molestation.
Kill anyone that advocates for nintendo.

Just SW2+MKW bundle for now
I still have some backlog Switch games

and then we have gamefreak who just says fuck it and doesnt care a bit about optimization.

There will be a June direct.

Like will there be a direct that announces more first parties soon?

Reliable leakers are saying a Direct this week or the week after release + Switch 2 announcements at Summer Game Fest.
There's a reason why Nintnedo decided on June 5th to release the Switch 2. This was always their E3 week to announce new games, expect the launch to be crazy

Has nintendo confirmed if they are gonna release any games on switch 2? Bought switch 1 on launch and I'm still waiting for the first title to be released.

Do you mean exclusives?

Mario Kart, DK Bananza, Air Riders and Age of Imprisonment are all Switch 2 exclusives

Why does June 5th still feel like forever? Ffffffffffffffffffff

Also, wonder how badly their servers will be with everyone online AND downloading MKW.

Why doesn’t Nintendo want to fully support this region even though they’re already opening pop-up shops here?

It will feel much closer once May is over

They've invested close to billions into these type of services, it's not gonna be a problem.

I think Nintendo are cautious in general.

Just preordered today at the Nintendo Store. So I doubt I will get it at release day, more likely 3-4 days later if I'm lucky, and I don't have any time off work planned.

I will play the fuck out of Mario Kart World and pick up the updated version of TOTK, since I didn't finish it on the Switch 1. Also really curious about the Pokemon Violet update. I liked the game but the frame rate and poor graphics were very distracting.

The only Switch exclusives on launch were 1-2 Switch and Snipperclips

holy based post

nope
i'm afraid i won't be able to secure this for a few months at least
i'll just complete botw and mario odyssey meanwhile and get this by the end of this year

I still think it makes no sense, everybody knows Singapore, it’s a major Asian country and economy, every other major Asian economy already has an official Nintendo presence, even South Korea despite the huge amounts of bad blood between them and Japan, how is it still not important enough for Nintendo to officially expand into?

in india, it won't be shipped for like 2-6 weeks
i talked to the seller and he's a complete retard too
i don't know how to buy this thing
i bought the switch 1 from amazon so it was a reliable purchase, but this one will be tough to acquire for a few months

really?

Nintendo went through N64/GC/Wii U and it's run by actually smart people who understand they can fail and they have to keep improving. One of the original Nintendo bosses kept telling employees "Don't think we can't fail, we have to do better" etc. So it's not about Singapore in that sense. But Nintendo has been expanding this generation and the whore theme park, bigger buildings, movies, is all about reaching more people

anon the launch list is not a definitive list
we might have to wait months for a second wave of updates, but it'll come.

Remember that Red Dead 2 is 30 fps even on Series X and PS5 because Rockstar hasn't unlocked any framerates, despite hardware capabilities

Rockstar is literally a live service company. They don't have to worry about selling hardware, Nintendo does.

I'm getting survival kids

Why do we need to have these constant fucking LE COMFY SWITCH threads

Because a new Nintendo console will release in a couple of days and we are in a videogame board.

they need a safespace because every other thread shits on switch 2

So do we know what else this day one patch will have besides Switch 1 emulation and external SD Express card support?

less likely to get raided by retards and console warriors
yes, in light of the extremely high frequency of getting raided by retards and console warriors

video game board

"why are you having video game discussion ahead of a major industry landmark event"

Do you go to Anon Babble and ask why they're talking about football the week before the world cup

football

You mean soccer

What is there to raid? Switch 2 is obviously a horrible value proposition when Ally X and Legion Go exist. There is no argument.

Ill get it when DK comes out, I have zero interest in Mario Kart and I have a Switch for the rest of the games.

If Walmart doesn't charge me by the 3rd, I'm just going to pick up from Best Buy at midnight or Gamestop at 11

were your parents related before they were married?

no argument

ehhh

Speaking of a theme park, Super Nintendo World is planned to open at Universal Studios Singapore, again showing that they value Singapore as a market, yet not enough to properly offer their online services here?

I prefer to stick to an actual Japanese console instead of gaming PCs, let alone the bastardized umpcs.

MKW Bundle. Want to get NSO expansion as well.

Does anyone know if my OG GC controller would work on GC Online?

MKW Bundle + Pro 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Rune Factory collectors edition, Skull n Co Switch 2 Joy con grips, and a screen protector. Was going to get skull n co/Savage Ravens case but they are going the greed route with poor materials and $30 just to buy in so I will be giving my money to Mumba when I get 3 months into the Switch 2 without it. Waiting to see if they will have the 512gb sd cards ready by launch before buying into either that or just going with the 256gb. Going to do both Zelda's upgrade packs and Kirby tomorrow. This is going to be a comfy generation.

Check the Dbrand Killswitch 2 case if you like the idea of the joycons being detachable with grips still on, more expensive ($60) but I think that extra feature is probably worth it over the Mumba. Mumba however would be a much more immediate option

Got the MKW bundle + Guardians of Azuma and the Pro Controller 2. I have Thursday and Friday off. After I spend most of the first day transferring data and downloading patches I'll play MKW and test out Pokemon SV's performance patch. Maybe I'll buy Deltarune too.

getting the MK bundle so that's digital

getting my other games digital because the "physical" is game key cards

This is gonna be my first time going digital-heavy I guess. Suppose it was inevitable some day

If it makes it more digestible to you, and i don't know why Nintendo isn't disclosing this, but the Game Key cards won't be a thing for Nintendo first party physical games.

Also, Game Key cards themselves run on a different server from the eshop, and will work for years on end. Same server that still lets you redownload Wii games you own or 3DS games you own. It's not ideal, but it makes the blow suck less.

twitter filename
emulator running at 720p, steam deck does not have the overhead to run most switch games at 1080p docked
bad gaming experience

no 'ick

Must be photoshop.

Cyberpunk

I'm getting the MK bundle, but I'll never understand why people play shit like that on switch, which you can experience a million times better on a PC,

There's something to preorder other than console?

Yeah, I'm just saving up for one. Might start setting aside $100 from my paycheck every time I get paid.

You are probably not running Cyberpunk a million times better on your PC because it's a janky piece of shit oriented towards consoles.

damn that nigga fat

I'm getting the Switch 2 just so I can play TOTK in 60fps without the constant shader stutter happening in the emulators.

How does the key card shit work? I want Raidou Remastered, but I don't know if it's gonna be a significant bump from the Switch version.

Getting

Mario Kart via bundle

Bravely Default

RMX Fusion

Switch 2 Pro controller

Gamecube controller for NSO

Have several games for Switch I'm waiting on Switch 2 for like Link's Awakening and Fire Emblem: Three Hopes.

I am running out of space and more accepting that there's only a few games I'll care about in a decade so I'll definitely be going digital more. Honestly a lot of B titles like the Mario vs Donkey Kong remake or Wario Ware would have been digital if it weren't for wanting to share with my brother and nephew. Guess a lot of people had that idea so that's why family plan sharing exists now.

Hell, I actually rebought Metroid Dread and Pikmin 4 digitally so Switch 2 will fix the loading times and I'll probably do that with Smash Ultimate as well so it's always on me for when I go to Japan and presumably run into other tendies on tour groups.

For better for for worse, Nintendo considers themselves a premium brand. They don't release broken games but they don't believe in discounts either. That way, you're conditioned to buy everything right away.

DK is 100% done. Nintendo sits on games for years and likes having one notable title a month.

I live in a 3rd world country so I only get one week off in the summer for my bottom tier job. Might bank it for DK.

You have to download the game files and keep the cart in to play it.

The answer is obvious. Lots of people want to game on the go. It's the advantage that nobody else can beat no matter how much they cope about it.

It's a physical copy that acts as a sharable key for the digital version. The cartridge just prompts the system to download the game from the E-Shop and that version will only work if the cartridge is plugged in but it's tied to the cart, not the account so you can share/resell it.

brother you ain't leaving your apartment

Okay, so kinda sorta how Batman Arkham Trilogy works. Arkham Asylum and Arkham City on Switch are underrated.

You say that as if it's not comfy to lay down on a sofa or go outside on the veranda to game. Personally I've only brought it long distance a couple of times but for the people that sit 1 hour 5 days a week going to school or work? That's why Nintendo has dominated since Switch came out. All of the gimmicks with Switch 1 and 2 were just useful.

which you can experience a million times better on a PC,

Because concessions between dedicated home systems and portable consoles are becoming less and less obvious for each generation that goes by.

Yeah ultimately the game key card thing is a legitimization and a specific name for the niggerdry publishers already do with backending a Blu-Ray print or cartridge print onto the consumer via download. It's probably gonna get really common with Switch 2 because of the stupidity of the cartridge model they've got (I think it was 64GB and Game Key Card are their only size options so it's not economically feasible for a lot of publishers to actually have the game on the cartridge just yet, maybe in a couple years when printing prices come down) but it's nice you get the fair warning.

Don't embarrass us Deck chads, most of us are getting a Switch 2 to play TOTK in 1080p60 with HDR on the go.

Effectively it's a physical cartridge with a key on it. Having the cartridge in the system allows you to download the game from the store digitally, but you can only play that digital version with the key card in the system.

The reason they're unique is that they have no use limit. You're not limited to activating them on one system. So if you're done with a game, you can resell the key card.

Sony and Microsoft have been doing the same with SOME cross-gen ports, so it's not entirely new territory. For example, if you own a physical copy of Cyberpunk on PS4, and play it on a PS5, they let you download the PS5 version for no cost, but to play it you must have the PS4 disc inserted. Game Key Cards on Switch 2 are essentially the same concept applied to more stuff than just cross-gen ports.

Personally not a fan since the reason I want physical is the permanence (I want to buy a game and know it'll still be there in 10 years when the store is gone) and I never resell, but I see the value for some.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into Dbrand.

fat nigga

Was going to get skull n co/Savage Ravens case but they are going the greed route with poor materials

Wait what? I already ordered it. I loved their Switch Lite and Switch OLED grip cases.

Bought the PS4 version for dirt cheap when people were dogging on it and got the free upgrade on PS5. Played around 60 hours before just doing a new playthrough with the 2.0 update. Never bought the DLC and enjoyed the game so buying a complete edition on cart for portable console that also has gyro is perfect for me.

my switch 2 order says arriving June 9. is that placeholder date?

major industry landmark event"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU DONT ACTALLY BELIEVE THIS

Where did you buy from? Amazon France says June 11. At least I'm getting mine and it's not getting cancelled like some are

digital games from nintendo will outlast physical games, physical cartriges degrate. nintendo still lets you download wii games lol

nta but the Switch 2 is the beginning of the 10th generation of consoles just like how the first Switch started the 9th.

Switch 2 is more in line with the PS4 generation if anything.

Yeah, Amazon.

Gaijins coping by deliberately arbitrating what define console generations by hardware power alone will never cease to be funny.

The successor of the best selling home console of all time is about to come out? How is that not a big deal?

PS3 already came out.

Based if true
Kill yourself if actually scalper

He still believes Snoy's made up number.

You can't reasonably post like this about a new Nintendo console release, man, come on, now you're just being dumb. "A new Nintendo console is not a landmark event in the video games industry" is a comically stupid statement.

In case you're ESL, I'm not saying you personally have to care. But it is a landmark event.

This is not a landmark event in any way. It's a fart in the wind with a few social media posts and a cheap TV budget.

If you want to look at a landmark event launch, look at the PS4 and PS5 launches. They were worldwide phenomenons.

When they lit up the Burj Khalifa

Cancelled my pre-order after I learned that you cant play games on it if you're not online.

actual sincere console warring instead of trolling

Oh never mind I'll just laugh at you

Literally lit up Japanese shrines which is forbidden to literally everyone else.

You need to connect once to activate it, you don't need to always be online. Still sucks but isn't the same thing.

You connect once on boot up. Same shit as PS5 and Series.

you cant play games on it if you're not online.

you can play offline but thanks for giving up your pre-order so someone not stupid can have it
who am I kidding, you're probably lying and too broke to have pre-ordered in the first place lol

Switch 2 is a bigger phenomenon in Japan than what the PS5 ended up to be

I saw some peoples Walmart pre-orders got canceled so I’m kind of on edge but assuming it goes through I’m exited. I never played Tears of the Kingdom so I look forward to playing that enhanced, Mario Kart World, and the GameCube games.

Switch 2 is a bigger phenomenon in Japan

pre-orders capped at 70k

"phenomenon"

ok

*on first boot-up.

PS5 and Switch 1 don't need to be online ever in order to play single player games. Xbox won't even let you get to the dashboard on first boot without internet connection because they want to push you ads.

I saw some peoples Walmart pre-orders got canceled

I've been looking through this reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/comments/1kyyoho/the_order_update_megathread_share_updates_about/

I'm waiting on hold for a manager and the very salty/rude rep keeps coming back on the line every few min to tell me about their high call volume, and he said they have over 2000 calls in their que all listed about Nintendo!! WTF Walmart...

they are getting mass cancelled, it's looking like walmart massively oversold

Pulling shit from your ass isn't proof dude.

How? Who the fuck is buying this thing at launch? There is zero buzz about it online yet apparently they are selling out of pre-orders in the states? I don't get it

in Japan

That inbreed island is irrelevant.

I'm not preordering anything. I am walking in to GameStop on Thursday. No, not Wednesday, because it's in the hood. If there is no Switch 2, then I'll give GameStop a mercy: I'll come back on Saturday, or perhaps Sunday if I skip church. If there is no Switch 2, then I am NEVER buying it.

Respect the average consumer or get bent. I am not going through the Wii fiasco again. It was inhumane and anticonsumer. Americans should stop kneeling to the Japs. We didn't do it in 1941 and we won't do it again.

Saw a review on Amazon stating how flimsy it was compared to the OLED grip they had prior. If it's anything to go by they also stated that any critic of the product was removed with only positive reviews being pushed through. It's fine though since I'll either go with Mamba or look at D-brand for what they are offering up.

Wii-U tier flop.

Yeah, it's supposed to be an anti hacking protection, but 37% of early switch 2s have already bricked, likely from this

I preordered one, but this will definitely feel as bad as owning the 3DS and Wii U at launch for at least the next couple of years.

he's referring to the genki "covert docks" which nintendo is presently suing the shit out of for producing because their piss poor voltage regulation fries nintendo switches

Considering there a lot of great stuff coming out this year alone I don't think so

There are two games schedules to come out this year, that's not a lot.

Why did Platinum die before Astral Chain 2 could be made?

Blame Inaba chasing the GaaS trend

I highly disagree there’s a lot to play at launch especially with Switch 1 compatibility. Mario Kart and Donkey Kong are solid launch titles. I’m sure there’s a few more tricks up their sleeves they haven’t shown off yet.

talent bleed and awful management
scalebound's cancellation was probably what drove off hideki kamiya, who never really wanted to do anything but have clover studios back, which he now has as clovers

the console with MK and an extra pair of joycons

tricks up their sleeves

I just want games, Switch 2 has no games. If you're not a huge Mario Kart fan, there isn't a reason to buy this thing at all.

sorry this is how you find out your fantasy isn't reality, I'm sure you'll figure out some cope

Just the bundle, might try to get a Pro 2 when I pick up the console. I just hope they actually have it the 5th, but Im trying to prepare for a "not yet" welcome

I want the Pro Controller 2 for the eventual Steam compatability. The original works great and fully supports gyro, while the 2nd one is just that but with three more buttons to remap (C, GL, GR). It'd be perfect once it's officially supported.

Much, MUCH worse than the wiiu

i'm excited for mine if the d-pad is supposedly fixed in feel and functionality
i'm actually kinda mirin' the big dickitude of specifically saying "no analog triggers" and calling them useless for the vast majority of games because they're right

...you repeat to yourself to stop the tremors

it is true, I'm not a scalper

I ordered it if only for pro comfiness plus having Gamechat in to play Mario Kart with my niece.

Hope they end up making special editions of this controller. Always kind of regretted getting a standard pro controller instead of the Xenoblade 2 themed pro controller.

I have a good 8bitdo controller that should tide me over until they announce a nice lookin Pro 2 controller.

Doesn’t make sense to be rushing to buy a switch 2 if you don’t want to play Mario Kart then. Just wait a year or two for more titles.

I just want games, Switch 2 has no games. If you're not a huge Mario Kart fan, there isn't a reason to buy this thing at all.

Good thing most people enjoy Mario Kart then since Mario Kart keeps a near 1:1 attach ratio.

fuck me i wish that leverless arcade controller they announced recently had been a pro 3 instead
or for valve to get off their ass and release that steam controller 2
the children yearn for symmetrical controllers

what did you preorder

hmm let me look at my options

remasters

reboots

ports

donkey kong odyssey

oh seems like i dont have any

Thing is while everyone plays mario kart, no one actually buys the system for mario kart, it’s just a game everyone gets alongside it. People want the next zelda, the next mario, the next splatoon. As of now the switch 2 has none of that, not even on the horizon

saying donkey odyssey like it's a bad thing

Boring bait

no one actually buys the system for mario kart

Are you fucking retarded

odyssey was a baby game with no real challenge or skill to it and terrain destruction/limitless climbing will make it even more braindead

I wonder if just being a trustworthy seller who has earned guaranteed customers ends up being more profitable than scalping.
Like sure, when you scalp you get massive returns - but there's always a risk with it just not selling.

Yawn

all the hard shell cases are thick as fuck and not good for any bag that isn't just a big unstructured sack like a backpack

all the thinner cases are fabric ones that won't provide meaningful protection

I’m happy those hackers got their switch2 bricked immediately. Nintendo is learning from their mistakes

ni hong bong u wan suitcase for switch two?

Speaking of which, does anyone know if the old pro controller still works with the Switch 2?

it does

Yes
en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68426/~/nintendo-switch-and-nintendo-switch 2-accessory-compatibility
For your future accessory questions

Yes all the Switch 1 accessories are compatible with Switch 2, you just need to find a way to charge old joycons for stuff like Ring Fit since they won't click into Switch 2.

Except for LABO VR inasmuch as a cardboard box is an accessory.

I'm so glad it does. Still have the Smash Bros one I bought that I ended up using near constantly and it was well worth it in the long term.

The new one doesn't really seem worth the upgrade.

That's good, thanks fellas.

so ot doesn't brick the system due to power outages, right? just the dock from that company, right?

i accept your consession. you might want to tell your janny friends to wordfilter the word "baby" as well to protect your nintenxisters btw

I do this so that customers trust me and are happy and come back to buy games and other things in the future. I will open the shop for them at midnight

picrel, they're already on the shelves

Seethe, forever.

cool store

wait a minute that sword....

yes your switch won't fry from a power outage unless it's some scenario that would fry any other electronic attached to a wall outlet, genki's covert dock fries your switch because it's not the correct voltage output

Implying the fourth Splatoon game in 10 years will move the needle more than a new Mario Kart

"Hardcore gamers" trying to downplay the significance of Mario Kart is honestly fucking embarrassing at this point, you should know better.

Mario Kart World

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity

Donkey Kong Bananza

Kirby Air Riders

and then you have Prime 4, Silksong, Legends Z-A and Tomachi Life and Rhythm Heaven next year

Genuinely, your bait has gotten really boring lately. I think you've just been trying too hard over these last few weeks. Your posting style has become so immediately recognizable that I just roll my eyes whenever you post.

exceedingly comfy store

All those replies and no one gave a fuck to answer kek

You just did.

thanks

i hope you buy a switch cartridge second hand that someone already has in their mig switch, and you get banned for playing it since two people are playing it at the same time

I already have a perfectly usable original pro controller but all the talk about the d-pad and overall quality from people who tried this thing out is making me want it. If by some miracle it works on Switch 1, I'm definitely replacing my old one

My old one will still be useful for having my one friend over for Mario Kart if he finds the time.

Xenoflop X is coming to consoles? Nintendo's killing their new handheld before it's even out by going 3rd party.

same but for ryujinx
incredibly pleased that official switch controllers just werk on eumlators

seethe harder poorfag

I guess we won't be needing that switch 2 emulator. The end is near.

but anon you said the emulator is already working, yet you didnt link it.

it's real

What was this list written by AI?

Yeah Microsofts AI scraping is getting lazier and lazier.

lazy indian tasked with making the article asks copilot to write it for him

pulls xenoblade out it's ass like AI is known to do

yeah "it's so over"

Xenoflop slopped.

microsoft doesn't even bother to double check the shit their ai bot craps out.

Terrible look for them

"Okay what game has the most Xbox-like branded name with as many "X"'s as possible?"

"U-Um Xenoblade X!

"Wonderful Rajeet, you get promoted to the shit street department!"

Olímpio coming up with fresh copium

This nigga lives in a fairytale kek.

Duh you know how much of the internet is AI generated garbage these days

it's one of those things where they can get in a lot of trouble if the AI hallucinates (which it did) which is the funny part

github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/115762
Microsoft has gone completely insane with AI.

MK bundle

by 9am yes

pfft yeah, I took the days off...

Not really interested in any launch games aside from Mario Kart, will be renewing my NSO to play GameCube games specifically WW and SC2, and TotK should hold me off for a while since I never finished it.

Right but you think they'd hire an editor? That's what the AI is for.

Finally someone with the balls to post actual FACTS

shitload of kino games

damn where are they

Based MS doing the needful, unprecedented tendie meltdown incoming!

Genuinely no idea what to play for the next week. I was playing Tales of Graces but I'll probably be putting that on hold when Bravely Default is out on Thursday.

It's actually fucking insane to me that this kind of shit would get a person fired but companies are more than willing to not just accept this but also shove straight up fake information (AI answers on google/bing) ABOVE the actual information just because the words "AI" make them money from shareholders.

Anyone else getting this at launch?

In Olímpio's ass.

The girl who steals time

So you play as little girl? This is what you play on the Nintendo switch...

Yeah I'm waiting for a switch 1 price drop or switch 2 release, whichever is first

I don't think it's going to get a price drop in the next 5 days.

Wait did the announce a release date? Is it coming out on switch 2 day one?

Either this or Rune Factory. Leaning towards this unless RF makes a strong comeback after 5

Yes the upgrade will be available June 5

Yup, $3 to upgrade from Switch 1. So cheap you wonder why not free for goodwill.

The fivver Pajeet that Microsoft hired to write this assumed that the X in Xenoblade Chronicles X stood for Xbox

Looks kinda comfy.

OH NO NO NO TENDIES

Ninja Gaiden 4 is either gonna make or break Platinum.

I live in Kazakhstan no one here gives a shit about nintendo except me so I'll have no problem buying it... in a week

still no pre order confirmation

I just hope it comes to Switch 2

Lol, can't run it

Look at Nintendo store website

order still preparing to ship

Lol, can't run it

If it run on Series S it will run on Switch 2.

Olímpio in shambles

It's a Platinum game. Obviously it will be able to run on Switch 2.

LOL
Tendie delusions are funny

Launch lineup is okay. I really want more new games instead of multiplat ports. That said I hope Dragon Quest Builders 2 gets an update patch for framerate. I'm kind of putting off playing Switch games until Switch 2 comes out.

beating the allegations that everyone on Anon Babble that uses "tendies" is an idiot

I imagine DQB2 will get a brute force framerate boost as it's already unlocked 60fps

Bros I don't know, it seems all a bit too expensive to me

Nice, hopefully that's true so I can just replay that instead of putting down $70 for Fantasy Life

Your system is already emulated before launch, has a 37% brick rate (in just the first two weeks of testing), and your "games" are being ported

Post the emu

Any footage of any of this?

It's out there. Why do you want it, so you can report it to your corporate overlords you worship like the brainwashed cultist religious bigot zealot you are?

MY WAL-MART ORDER SAYS "DELAYED" WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK IT'S OVER FOR ME

Post a mirror of it.

One of the most intensive benchmark games of the generation runs just fine.

zip and upload it to catbox

Your system is already emulated before launch, has a 37% brick rate (in just the first two weeks of testing), and your "games" are being ported

She has the cheek to call others "delusional". lmao

I have Cyberpunk on PS4 but never played it
I will get the switch 2 version once it's 50% off or less, so in about a month or two from now

Yeah it's kinda pathetic how weak they are lul

bigot

oh eric your glowie mask is slipping again, let me guess you will post "youre mentally i'll" or post your whole "obsession" copy pasta? Oh and lets not forget you promised to suck a dog dick for every switch sold (not switch 2 specified mind you) past 10 million.

Based scalpCHAD bankrupting tendies!

Game in UK cancelled a bunch of orders

mfw

Thank fucking god I got in early thanks to the Nintendo invites oh my god

I have Cyberpunk on PS4 but never played it

PS4 never got the next gen build that Switch 2 has. Best to play on Switch 2 if that's your only option.

I have the game on my Xbox Series X, I might pick up on Switch 2 due to its cross-platform save options.

Delivery arrives as early as June 05, 2025

It's over...

Olímpiobros...

360p

drops below 20 fps regularly

"just fine"

Ps4 image looks better anyways

In your delusional mind maybe

Nothing you said was true. Remarkable.

could have easily just lowered the fidelity a bit and got 60FPS

Fucking lame. Fuck graphicsfags.

weekend ruined. I'd be so mad

Ooft. Sony sisters don't look.

Wrong, it got confirmed to be 240p by a random German news site. Impressive nintendo kept it under wrap so long

Do we have performance videos for anything other than Cyberpunk? Is there any analysis of the GameCube games (eg what scale they up res to)?

They are higher res, Nintendo said as much and they're blatantly crisper then on GC but they haven't given numbers and Nintendo's life stream footage isn't the best way to judge for specifics.

youtu.be/tXwTnto130s?si=yZaoB3Xtu-qr-sfC

140. MILLION. DOG. DICKS.

amazing not only is ps4 blurrier but the model/texture quality is lower

Nintendo shill

Let me guess, he's huehue or Indian?

probably 2x or 3x native resolution

I know the 360p one is bullshit, but

drops below 20 fps regularly

Where's this?

Don't show the empty streets with no cars or npcs.

Hopefully they update the N64 emulator on switch 2 to internally render at a higher res before upscale. Proper scanline filter is a pipedream but would be nice

but anon the npc and vehicle density in the switch 2 version is better than PS4/Steam deck.

what did you preorder? will you get everything on release day?

just the switch and nothing else, not sure about MK world sine I wouldn't have anyone to play with anyway
Im planning to finally play trough zelda TOTK and just wait for DK bananza

Update for the N64 games on Switch 2 release day is adding per-game button remapping to both Switch and Switch 2, as well as CRT filter and rewind feature on Switch 2 specifically.

Explain why should I care about subtle graphical differences

three-day workweek and four days with Switch 2

I can't believe it's happening

N64 internally renders at 720p then upscales to 1080p. Would be nice to have that internal render bumped up since the switch 2 should be able to handle more.

And games?

had a dogshit work week and doing overtime this weekend

but got a three day week next week and a four day weekend for Switch

planning to get omega comfy with Mario Kart, Bravely Default and Wind Waker

Just gotta make it

I think the remapping function is exclusive to Switch 2 too

is mario kart actually a fun game when you're not playing it with friends and you're sober?
It seems it'd only be fun that way but I never played so

Mario Kart is the one Nintendo I.P with good net code which helps.

Don't worry, Steam Deck 2 will fix that, but it'll probably cost $550.

Sorry but I have to know where this is from my yellow fever is insane

We are lucky if its below $800 at this point.

that doesn't tell me anything

As in even friendless, it's worth playing online.

it is

oh, i don't really think as my friends as "multiplayer" so that's not what i meant
i meant the unique dynamic you get with friends where every game is more fun

At least I'm getting mine

Amazon

Don't get too excited, Amazon employs thieves. Enjoy your new shampoo, canned dog food or anything that weighs roughly the same as the switch 2.

Switch bros I'm so excited

how the hell don't you know Haerin? singer from the South Korean band NewJeans. she has the most perfect eyes

youtube.com/shorts/29MVz5uPKX4

When will 1, 1.5 (my size I want), and 2 tb micro sd express cards come out?

a bit sus talking about some twelve year-old like that

Years from now, I'm just holding out for 512.

you're mentally ill

Valve will just use the success of the Steam Store, Steam OEMs, and SteamOS to subsidize costs, they'll be able to get it down to at least $550 following a similar strategy that they did with the OG Steam Deck using custom Zen 5 UDNA in 2027.

Switch 2 (base)
Switch 2 Pro controller
256GB sd card
Mario Kart World (physical)

Will buy digital on launch because fuck gamekeycards:
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy
Fast Fusion
Yakuza 0 Director's Cut

You’re online now
What’s the issue?

Is it cheaper buying a Switch 1 version + upgrade?

yes, the switch 1 version goes on sale for $15-17 and the upgrade is $10 so you can get the switch 2 version for less than $30

bump

what did you preorder?

Nothing, just gonna fuck around with my unfinished Switch 1 games and Gamecube Classics on launch day

did you take Thursday and Friday off from work?

I'm not working Thursday so no need

Honestly I think Nintendo fucked up not releasing DK Bananza, Mario Kart is never a system seller

lol
Deck 1 OLED costs $550 with the same old ass hardware and you expect the new one to cost the same?

Yes,

16GB of RAM

512GB of storage

7-inch 1080p display touch LCD screen

new Aerith (Zen 5 UDNA)

2017 release

The base model should be able to get down to $550.

Just Mario Kart and FAST for me, kinda weak launch but what can you do.

If you want me to get really crazy with this, Valve can bring it down to just $500 using the Steam Store, SteamOS, Steam OEM partner handhelds, other Steam hardware, and first party games to subsidize cost for this.

Do you need a system seller day one though? Even the Wii U sold out initially

kinda weak launch

Finally someone says it
Aside from Mario Kart there's literally nothing else NEW to play
I do think they're relying on MKW being strong enough to carry the system for a while but it sucks for people who don't care about Mario Kart or old third party games

Do you need a system seller day one though?

Yes, and Mario Kart is that despite what anyone here says. People bought a switch just to play Mario Kart and the numbers don't lie.
Unironically releasing a new Zelda or Mario on launch won't sell as much as a new Mario Kart and Nintendo knows it

have you seen any other console's launch?
series x and ps5 had nothing worth playing on launch
xbone didn't either, and the ps4 had fucking knack for launch
the switch 2 having mario kart and then dk one month later is one of the strongest launch catalogs in years

Donkey Kong looks cool but that's a few weeks away

Pretty much and one game a month is more than enough for most people in this economy and if you're not into Mario Kart or DK then why did you buy a Nintendo system in the first place?

Someone post Cow butt.

GameCube games to look forward to regularly from now on

new Pokemon that will actually run decently

new Metroid Prime after all these years

Man I'm so happy

new Pokemon that will actually run decently

Unless Gamefreak goes into the next Pokémon with high ambitions and coding purely on their hopes and dreams again.

Legends Z-A is already a Switch 1 game that is just getting a Switch 2 enhancement so we know at the very least that'll run decently on Switch 2.

But yeah whatever they do after that might run like dogshit. I don't have much faith in their ability to optimize, that's for sure. Hopefully they learned SOMETHING from SV.

Poorfags. Are you willing to wait for a right moment to buy Switch 2?

Gonna be a mall rat on the 4th waiting for 9pm at EBgames when they'll give tickets out for midnight launch (because no preorder)

Will have my Switch Lite with me to pass the time

I think it'll be a fun day but I'm worried I'll be there too early by coming in the morning. I don't want to leave any possibility of me not getting it open. It's a small road trip for me to get there. The problem will be if they kick us out of the mall from 9-midnight, I guess I'll have to just sit in my car.

Gamefreak

high ambitions

You're talking about the morons who deliberately cut content like the battle tower because people use their phones too much
Gamefreak is genuinely some of the laziest greediest and biggest hacks in the industry

what did you preorder?

Console, physical Mario Kart, camera, pro controller, gamecube controller, 528GB express micro SD and physical Cyberpunk

will you get everything on release day?

Everything but the EMSD card, Cyberpunk and the Gamecube controller, my area is shit for shipping, I'll get that stuff the following Tuesday probably. Also my gamestop is retarded and cancelled their midnight launch so best I can do is 8am.

did you take Thursday and Friday off from work?

No I took a vacation for about 9 days.

528GB express micro SD

Where did you find this?

Launch is certainly weak. But at least there's a backlog of Switch 1 games to play.

Amazon but they are dealing with shortages, it was supposed to originally arrive before launch but now it's arriving the next week, they probably oversold on the first order of them. Ironically this won't even fit all my Switch 1 content I have a pretty filled up 1TB card on there, thankfully I'm not moving every single game to Switch 2, just starting with the ones that actually get upgrades.

A Switch 2 Lite would do insane numbers, would chips and batteries for this be ready by 2027?

battle tower

I would never wish the Battle Tower and it's equivalent facilities on my worst enemy.

I can't find any. Are you sure it's express? Not even the official Nintendo licensed ones go up to 528

They're ready today, whether Nintendo is read to pay for it is another question.

preorder

keep hearing walmart are delaying/cancelling preorders

each day comes a new wave of cancellations, each bigger than the last

my order is still fine and set for the 5th

I guess it’s lucky my order managed to remain secured at this point, but I don’t know for how long

Using Paypal forced me to pay it all up-front, no delayed payment, so I'd fuckin better get it.

It's not available now. You have to make sure it's the right category of speed (PlayPro 900MB/s) they are no longer available in that category on there. I think only the non express ones are available now.

$300 deposit at fucking Gamestop so better not get cancelled.

You mean to tell me Nintendo can get this shit out by next year?

What I heard was that these are all because people don't have money on whatever is being charged.

can

sure

will

no

But enough about the UK

nah, some Walmart orders were canceled with that as the reason but people's card issuers confirmed that there were no payment attempts made by Walmart to be declined/denied, and this morning there were reports of other people who did have charges from Walmart denied who then got the opportunity to correct/change their payment methods (which apparently anyone with an order still can do now too)

it might be that they oversold from the store/warehouse those people's orders were coming from and just made up an excuse to cancel them

I totally see them releasing the lite version Q4 next year to go alongside the pokemon gen X games

It's spelled YOOKAY

Also I'm retarded and typed 528 when I meant 512. Apologies if that was why you were confused.

If the Steam Deck 2 comes out next year with Zen 5 RDNA 4 for $500, would Nintendo get a Switch 2 Lite out to maintain dominance?

The Deck hasn't sold 10% of the Switch one. Nintendo does not give a shit about the Deck.

Fuck that, I want an HDR OLED version

well you'll be waiting a few years for that one

muh sales

it's afraid

True but the funny thing is, you want to know the biggest losers out of all of this is, Microsoft and Sony.

Is there anyone else from the SE regions who can’t get it at launch?

So fuck Nintendo, the Legion Go 2 will have that and be more powerful than the Switch 2 and come out this December

I own a Deck, it's just pointing out the truth.

Square Enix regions

It's actually customers that lose because no system is directly competing with each other. And yes it is customer, not consumer. The customer is always right. The consumer is always wrong.

You were the one that posted that, Olímpio

and the Legion Go 2 will be like 1400 bucks, the first one is still over 1000 in most parts of Europe.

Legends Z-A is already a Switch 1 game that is just getting a Switch 2 enhancement

Do we know why it's $10 extra for the switch 2 version?
Is improved resolution and framerate the only additions? What exactly are the extra $10 for?
Gamefreak realizes resolution and fps bumps are free for other games right?

It's an anti-customer experiment. It's to see which retards pay for the Switch 2 version and which ones just buy the Switch 1 version.

Making it clear that any right-minded individual made their Switch 2 purchase with Costco Wholesale. Simply a top notch retailer, might even treat myself to a slice of pizza on the way out

Everything on a Switch 2 cartridge is $70 or more including 3rd party games

I don't have a Costco membership

$500 pre tariffs for 360p upscaled to 1080p and 30pfs

i don't have a costco

Maybe you guys are just a bunch of bachelors, or high earners, but paying all that money for a switch+games seems insane, and I say this as a single 29 year old man making 80k a year, living with his parent rent free.
I just dont know maybe y'all are going to spend 1000 hours played on mario kart or something, but I'd rather just like rent a switch 2 for a week online for 40 bucks, take time off work and beat all the sp games since I rarely ever replay sp games.

What are you playing leading up to the Switch 2 launch?

I have to hope target or some other retailer has launch day stock for the bundle cause nintendo has forsaken me

I'd rather just like rent a switch 2 for a week online for 40 bucks, take time off work and beat all the sp games

That sounds hideously unfun and almost torturous

eh only if I'm working during that time.
DK and new from game probably arent even long.

Pretty sure every store will have launch day stock
Some are even doing a midnight release
If you go to one an hour or so early you should be able to get one no problem

I got my 100th win in F-Zero 99 today so I can move on satisfied.

100th win in F-Zero 99

100

99

you did too many, start over

Etrian Odyssey Nexus

Yes, quality costs money, money that you recuperate quickly when your games don't cost $80 plus tax plus tip plus tariff

kek

What the fuck are you doing that you can't afford $500 when you're living for free and earn 80k and are single

fentanyl

Someone is gonna find a way to togger the kill switch on your Switch 2 and will just trigger it for fun.

comfy thread

yay

what did you preorder

mkw bundle and pro 2 for me as well. Cam looks fun but gimmicky. I'm salty the piranha cam is much lower res and/or fps. Would've been a nice prop on my tv stand.

take days off?

No, but wfh aka finish my shit and game rest of the day. Gonna meet up with a friend Friday evening to hang and play mario kart probs.

MKW bundle
Hardcase with Screen Protector
256 Express Card

I already have Thursday to Saturday off. I'm only hoping now that Nintendo ships it so it arrives on Release day.

got the MK World bundle preordered, will most likely play that and TOTK (gf wants that one) and deltarune

Hundred Line. Got to day 94 right now

Can't wait to reply Soulcalibur II again love weapon master mode

I mean isn't every console launch a major landmark event?

I wonder if we will we get monthly Gamecube releases or will they just dump out one or two new games every couple months? I hope we don't have to wait a year to just get the few games they showed off at the reveal (chibi robo, colosseum, XD, PoR etc)

All those are available day 1 iirc

No, Only Windwaker, Soulcaliber and F Zero are there day one iirc

Honestly I'm not sure.

I was playing Tales of Graces f but my interest is waning as we approach launch as I plan to put it on hold for Bravely Default Remaster. I'm enjoying Graces, but just, you know, since I already plan to put it on hold in 3 days my motivation to play it has lowered a bit.

Otherwise I'm playing a lot of the classics on Switch Online. So far, since the direct two months ago I've

played Fire Emblem Sacred Stones for the first time and finished it (Eirika route)

unlocked Expert Mode on Star Fox 64

got the alternate title screen in Mario Kart 64

And I'm currently nearly done with Round 1 in Pokemon Stadium. Just need to beat Prime Cup - Master Ball and the Gym Challenge. Kind of a fun challenge to do this with just Rentals even though I really wish they would find a way to add the GB games and connect them to this.

Expect the ones they said are "coming later" to be spread over the first year.

Only Wind Waker, FZero and Soul Calibur at launch.
We'll probably get a slow as shit drip feed of releases throughout the year to keep everyone subscribed.

I'm worried that World is not even going to come close to how fun MK8 is.

how important something is is dictated by how much money you throw away to light random shit up blue

ok man

expecting 4k60 on a handheld console

You really seem to have forgotten how shitty MK8 was and how bare bones it launched

Shitty roster

32 tracks

no 200cc

you can carry only one item at all times

battle mode was just reused regular tracks

DLC tracks and characters didn't come until like over a year later

If my 1080 phone can run 4k 60fps videos then there's no excuse to why the switch 2 can't do it in handheld

videos

obvious troll

Ass completely wreaked by facts

t-troll!

I accept your concession

who was here for mk8
who will return for mkw

I only played MK8 with Anon Babble during the Wii U days but it was fun, I'm excited to play World with you faggots

Tendies are gonna be the reason the we experience the Video Game Crash 2 as every game company will make their games $80 to $90

Can't tell if good thing or bad.

Its nintendos fault in 2025 for everyone to up the game prices from 60 to 70-100 bucks globally in 2020

had no idea Shigeru created a time machine but here we are.

what did you preorder

there's like 1 game what kind of fucking dumb ass question is this?

Cheers OP

what did you preorder?

Switch 2 + MKW bundle

will you get everything on release day?

I'll stick to this for a while and finish off my Switch 1 backlog on Switch 2, prob get Deltarune at launch while I'm at it

did you take Thursday and Friday off from work?

I work 4 rest 2, it happens to coincide with my days off

I think they'll do one game a month, at least for the first year

I just hope that they give us Luigi’s Mansion before Halloween.
