Why do you buy Switch 2
Why do you buy Switch 2
gameplay, motherfucker.
DO YOU SPEAK IT?
I'm a filthy casual with children that doesn't take video games very seriously
Cause I want to.
to receive a switch 2 in exchange for money
Because I wanted one
I want to play video games.
Metroid Prime 4 at 4K/60 FPS with mouse controls
play with kid
good time
kid sleeps
play switch
good time
Same. Games are pass time, not some high art. If a game is fun, its fun. If its stupid I just dont play it. Not going to make daily threads about why its dumb
To play video games
What gameplay?
Anon Babble told me they were sold out everywhere???
Buying consoles on launch
to play games
I don't. I'm an adult with reponsibilities.
You already have a PC/console
my 8 and 12 year old kids want gaming PC's. I told them about switch 2 and they laughed and said it was for little kids.
i don't
i asked my 6 month old babby.
she said that PCs are for faggots and she wants a PS6.
Why would I want a crappy LCD display when my Switch has OLED screen, hall effect controllers and a gorilla glass screen protector?
Muh new gaems
I play retro stuff, so performance does nothing for me. This console is shit.
Gamestop withdraws my money right after buying
It was a temp card meant for these kinds of purchases, I block it after a month
Now Gamestop says they can't withdraw from that card, withdraw back in April has disappeared from my transactions
It's over
based
dude you should know how preauthorizations work if you're using a credit/debit card to preorder something
Nintendo Switch has games
for the mario
have to compete getting a switch 2 on launch day
because I am too fucking poor to preorder
Fuck bros...
why do you need one on release?
To flex on poorfags
I never pre-order anything, I guess I binged my last wahoo
MK World and DK Bananza aren't on PC or other consoles
I have my own home, you probably live with your parents. Enjoy your toy.
then it's time to learn
most stores when preordering using a credit/debit card do a preauthorization that checks to see if your card has the necessary funds for the purchase available, but that preauthorization isn't a final charge so it drops off after a few days, and then they may do that regularly if there's an extended period of time between the preorder and the actual release date, when the actual final charge should occur and money will finally actually be deducted from the account
They are, that's just a backroom. Pretty much every recent console released sells out like crazy at launch, even consoles like the Wii-U.
Any other preorderlets hoping that the Switch 2 isn't successful just so it will be easier to grab one sooner? Getting one before Christmas would be sweet.
Prove it
i plan to buy every notable console ever made eventually.
i judt like collecting them
Waaaa youu cannot into adult, proove it
I have to prove you nothing. You deserve nothing.
I held off on a Switch waiting for a midlife console revision. When that didn't happen I bought one for TotK and Dread. Then the S2 got announced like 5 minutes later. If I get one at all it won't be for years.
ill just wait until they release zelda edition of it. literally no reason to buy it on launch just to play wii u games on it
"why do you buy a video game console"
are you an alien or something
just to spit at Anon Babble
i am a degenerate consoomer
I don’t see the appeal of Nintendo games. Maybe I’m just prejudiced but I normally like games that have complex mechanics and that you could play for 300 hours and still be learning new things. When I see Mario/Zelda gameplay, I can’t imagine there’s anything like that. Sure, there might be some super obscure combination of actions that you can perform that do something cool, but it’s not necessary to beat the game.
Are there any Nintendo games like what I’m describing?
this is a post about the original switch launch as we're getting 3ds games this time, not wii u games
I like Mario Kart, and look forward to playing that shit with Anon Babbletards again. Same for Kirby Air Ride.
got it, still bummed though, now I have a shitload of Switch 2 accessories that I can't use lmao
Why do you buy
9:30am EST and afternoon in britbong land yet we still got ESL fucks posting threads.
Just kill this site please
not buying them on launch to wait for potential day 1 breaches and homebrew
anon...
because I know it'll be sold out for the next year and a half. fomo is a bitch
youtu.be
I'm don't like the whole fuss with avoiding updates and shit so I usually only hack my consoles after they're done for
switch2+mkw
shipped
pro controller
not shipped
I block it after a month
based retard
Worst case scenario, can’t you use pro controller 1 on switch 2?
we're getting 3ds games this time
that implies there's more than one
I'm just worried usps is going be a bunch of limp dicked faggots and refuse to deliver to my door again.
Buy an ad.
I think I made a mistake waiting for my nintendo email. I might have to wait 4-8 days for stores to restock at this rate.
no back paddles
Walmart sent me a fucking e-mail saying
"Don't miss out! Update your payment method!"
"We’re having an issue with the payment method for your preorder item. Please update your payment method and check your address in your order details. If your payment fails, we’ll need to cancel your order."
The only time I ever talk to my friends now is when we play video games.
I think I made a mistake waiting for my nintendo email.
you did, should've tried preordering at stores with nintendo as a backup
I like Kirby.
You're taking my post seriously. It's just a nintendo console, I'm not going to have a melty just because I don't have it on next Tuesday as opposed to Thursday.
Have any Canada anons had their orders shipped?
so fucking anxious to see how crazy 24 players online is gonna be
Walmart bros what's your status?
I think they are shipping mine from a local store via delivery so I think I'll just show up and convert to pickup.
Should've used affirm so they payment would have gone through already instead of using your CC which just applies a temporary hold that expires and then paid it off before your first payment to avoid interest.
this is walmart way of not saying they had supply issues and canceling people's orders
Same, blue bag means delivery from store. It won't update until the night before or Thursday morning most likely.
So you were projecting then. Enjoy living in mom's basement, loser.
I'm not a toddler. I don't use tendo shit or play tenfdo games.
blue bag means delivery from store
wow, i didn't realize this
i keep getting random shit in plastic bags wondering why my walmart order is delivered by an uber driver
Because it's basically a much stronger switch. I will play new games and old ones with better performance.
claims he's not a toddler
speaks like one
carefully... carefully... we don't want to snap the delicate connectors!
He's showing off the strength of the magnets.
you're still trying to force this dumb meme lol
My friend couldn't get a pre-order so I got one on his behalf.
Magnets strengths is an allegory of our connection to the inner existence of eternal power driving us to push further and further in life. Any kind of turbulence in the delicate grid of connected souls in this ever changing atmosphere causes only suffering which, by the thousands and thousands of trials and errors, can or cannot be washed away. Such toil is considered the eternal mystery of god, yet not many have experience the higher state. Magnets as you called them say nothing about how we gravitate towards fictional happiness, which lack of seems simply unreachable to many.
Walmart bros what's your status?
Mine looks the same
preorder arrives by June 5th
I'm assuming they're still honoring their 9am delivery. Also looked at my bank account and I already got charged a few days ago so hopefully everything goes smoothly
How can you charge for a temporary hold and take a customer's credit card information if you don't have an item to sell me?
Aww that's cute did he give you head as thanks?
Walmart does a temporary hold as soon as you order something to make sure you're not some bum and actually have the money. They remove the hold after a day or two and don't actually charge you until the item ships.
Way better than other places that charge you upfront even if what you bought won't be delivered for months.
Literally just donate plasma ONE TIME and you have enough for a switch 2, a game, a controller, and maybe even a memory card
you unironically raised your kids wrong lol
Literally just donate plasma
sounds painful
GameStop got back to me and said I can just send the money again and the order will still be valid.
WE'RE SO BACK BING BING WAHOO BROS
Pussy
still this
I thought getting paid to donate plasma was like a tv thing and not actually real
$750 per donation
Why isn't everyone doing this? It feels like a cheat code. You can donate twice a week and you'll earn more than what the average American makes in their 9 to 5
Skipped ps4/ps5
Skipped switch 1 pokemon games, aside from PBD
Games will get ported to switch 2
Gta6 looks lame
Waiting for tes6, otherwise no reason for me to build new pc
No new sims
50xx too expensive for experimental phase
plasma = lifespan, do what you gotta do though bro
It does take up to 2 hours your first time and it does leave you too fatigued for heavy exercise the next day but other than that it's literally free money
So I can drive around my big fat space wife, Rosalina.
Your body regenerates the plasma in 48 hours you idiot. That's why you can go twice a week
Tarje here. I'm gonna get these 2 even though I will have them on pc.
These ESL threads are out of control man
Fuck off
I will buy one as soon as it gets the next mainline Zelda game or a remake of OOT. Zero interest until one of those comes out. Nintendo console = Zelda tax.
t.boomer whos favourite games are OOT and MM
Im getting the splatoon4 bundle
based full game on the cart enjoyer
first time takes 2 hours
I spend 2 hours on this site every day FOR FREE
leaves you too fatigued for heavy exercise the next day
again I'm on Anon Babble, I've never done any heavy lifting in my entire life
I might need to look into this donating plasma hack. I can be saving lives and get some extra money, I don't see any downsides here.
ESL
What have YOU achieved in your life you fucktard
I don't get the point of buying at launch, it's only launching with Mario Kart World. Wait a year to buy it then you'll have a big selection of exclusives to play.
I was born in America with a private school education. I was simply born with achievements, ESL. LOL
what if just took one and run out of the store?
And what the fuck is wrong with playing what's currently available?
I was simply born with achievements
The level of delusion I'd actually expect from a burger. No wonder everyone hates you
learning the language of basic global communication is an achievement to ESLs
That's really sad. I was fluent in English at 3 years old, it's literally so easy a baby can do it and you call that an achievement?
I don't get the point of buying at launch, it's only launching with Mario Kart World
My switch is 8 years old, sounds like a jet engine, and all my controllers drift.
I'm getting a switch 2 because I'm so fucking done with with switch 1.
Mario Kart World is already more exclusives than both Xbox and PS5 combined.
Do it
Post results
The 3rd party games m8
Toy for toddlers with no games.
learning the language of basic global communication is NOT an achievement to burgers
Your life must be very sad
The Switch 2 controllers will drift as quickly as the Switch 1 controllers did.
i waited 10 fucking years for a new mario kart
im not waiting any longer
look it up and it's illegal to recieve payment for plasma/blood donations in australia so people don't lie on their forms and give HIV blood or some shit
but we import a fuck of plasma from other countries that do pay donators and we pay a fuck ton to do so
this country's so retarded
I have the money and my friends are gonna get one anyways.
That and I've been waiting 18 years for Prime 4 and I don't want it to run like shit.
It's not an achievement because it's so easy babies learn to do it before they're out of diapers. Do you also brag about eating solid food and using the toilet?
donating plasma doesnt pay here
Welp
Best case scenario is in a year it'll be the same price anyways.
Post examples of games you play that have complex mechanics?
I learned how to speak English properly at a young age. Why can't you do it as an adult, ESL-kun?
It's not an achievement because it's so easy babies learn to do it before they're out of diapers
Language acquisition is the same as language learning
I've finished replying to you
Cyberpunk handheld does sound pretty awesome. Switches design is simply peak. Every game that was just a tv/monitor game now has the potential to be an amazing handheld game too.
Wait a year to buy it then you'll have a big selection of exclusives to play.
it's not like it's gonna get any cheaper in a year, I might as well get one now and play those exclusives as they come out, and get better performance on switch games
There are millions of people with over a thousand hours in mk8.
Turns out simplicity is more congruent with long play times than complexity
Best Buy still says “packaging your item,” is there any hope of getting it on thursday
Rosalina and her big futa cock
having kids
NGMI
MK World and DK Bananza aren't on PC
Yet.
No one in America gives a flying fuck about what other countries think of us.
Definitely it's coming next year for the 40th anniversary and ride that Zelda movie hype.
I trust Jensen, simple as
to have fun with my friends.I have a PC for the rest.
Why are they black?
Why shouldn't they be?
based retard lucked out
enjoy your console bro
It's a japanese series.
Cute girl.
they're okinawan
People also want to play S1 games on a better hardware
wait a year so you can have a huge backlog you'll never catch up on
So much better than just playing games as they come out, right?
want Mario Kart World
want Bravely Default
want portable Gamecube games
want Pokemon Legends Z-A (with better performance)
want Metroid Prime 4 (with better performance)
want Kirby Air Riders
I'm excited
Splatoon will be 70 dollars which means you gotta pay 80 for mkw. Buy the mk bundle instead
Not a kirbyfag, explain to me why you need two racing games when mario kart World is obviously a lot better
Mario Kart, Zelda, Fast Fusion, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Metroid, Pokemon and many more exclusives to come
Both look fun. Do you only play one game in a specific genre???
i thought it was the release of the switch 2 not the super nintendo
i would not buy a switch 2 until i can pirate every fucking thing on it. and not until that day. the only few games i wanted to play on the switch the last time around ended up being perfectly playable on my pc anyway or were ported to pc shortly after or immediately on release.
No updates in 2 days
HURRY THE FUCK UP
Nintendo is the best developer around as far as I'm concerned.
And as long as I play videogames I would never want to miss out on their big games.
Nintendo games tend to have a low skill floor but high skill ceiling.
The end result is any literal toddler can have fun, but any autismo can also enjoy all the depth they have.
Which is surprisingly rare these days because most games tend to dumb down shit lowering both the skill floor and ceiling, the end result is bland goyslop that nobody cares about because it's disposable, enjoy product and be excited for next product kind of thing.
Same bro. But it's 24 hour delivery so I'm guessing it'll start moving tomorrow
emulators unironically don't count because they are a pain in the fucking ass to set up especially after the main two died
and that is ignoring that without leaks we are not gonna be seeing a switch 2 emulator play commercial games properly in at least 7 years if not longer
it doesn't help the fact you would need a modern PC as well even at that time due to both the goytracing cores on it and the overhead from emulating hardware
In racing game terms, mario kart is like mario kart, kirby is like twisted metal.
In fightan terms, mario kart is like smash bros, kirby is like tekken.
In JRPG terms, mario kart is like any of the mario RPGs, kirby is like etrian odyssey.
Probably not for years, Switch 1 and Switch 2 have zero hardware similarities and even less software similarity. Emulation will be completely from scratch, and the PS4 level power means it's not gonna be available to the average favela monkey begging for emulation on Anon Babble. Steam Deck is also powered out (Switch emulation as it is is not a very good experience on a Steam Deck), so there's another favela monkey talking point.
so I think I'll just show up and convert to pickup
you can't do that as far as i know, plus the deliveries are supposed to start at 5:45AM on Thrusday so even if you could it'd probably be out for delivery before they opened for pickup
I'm pretty sure Ryujinx source code will be slightly adapted and a Switch 2 emulator will release stable enough to play Metroid Prime 4 on high-end PC hardware by the end of 2025.
The hardware is identical enough to the switch that there will not be a lot of work needed to get things working.
The hardware is identical enough
lol
lmao even
You fucking retard, the hardware is completely new. Switch backwards compatibility was only achieved through a proton-like translation layer.
I've got a guy on the inside, he's gonna convert it to pickup as soon as it drops in the system.
Thats kind of me but honestly, its more that there aren't enough games for me to justify the purchase. The only games I'm really interested from Nintendo are both on Switch 1. I figure I'd wait until the 2026 Direct to see if its going to be worth it. Let the tendies beta test the system
I worked on Ryujinx, not as the maintainer of the project but a medium sized contributor. There's a reason why I mentioned Ryujinx and not Yuzu.
This is my honest prognosis and I will take all my remaining holidays off from work next month to try to get something working.
Looking for a way to prevent Nintendo C&D letters while still hosting a collaborative project. Might just build something in a discord channel with others until there is at least a stable emulator capable of running Metroid Prime 4 on a RTX 5090 and then host it on github so others can download it even if it gets C&D'd by Nintendo later.
Am a big prime fan so I would have done this work anyway to make sure the best version is playable on PC
Even assuming you're not lyinh, I'll be glad to report your project just to make sure you don't kill the emulation scene with your crap
Looking for a way to prevent Nintendo C&D letters
Make the emulator block trying to boot any rom before release date.
That's a good starting point.
Also do not under any circumstances try to monetize it through patreon or similar means, that's one of the things that gave nintendo grounds to rape ryujinx to the ground.
even if they're similar how is someone going to dump a switch 2 game (and i assume the switch 2 edition part of the switch 2 edition carts) if the switch 2 isn't hacked first
flushing your shit genes down the toilet
Net win for humanity, subhuman "gamer"
look at these retards who think they accomplished something just by being born in the right place. That's called playing the game of life in BABY EASY mode and you guys are even PROUD of it kek
You wouldn't brag about beating a souls game entirely by relying on summons or cheats
If you mean that one gbatemps forum post, it was made by a literal child shitposting.
It's asinine anyone is even taking that as a fact, yes I don't doubt nintendo has taken measures to try stop the usual ways (that will be inevitably broken through in a year tops) but the voltage shit is from someone that clearly knows fuck all about electronics.
This board is gonna be useless tomorrow.
Either it flops and the tendies make a scene, making discussion of anything impossible; or it sells out and the tendies make a scene, making discussion of anything impossible.
Nintendo doesn't have a legal leg to stand on. And them putting out a hit on emulation in general is partly while I'm vengeful and willing to put in the extra work to have a fully working Switch 2 emulator out as soon as possible. I'm guessing I'm not the only one that feels this way.
It's similar to Sony removing Linux functionality from PS3 triggering autism of the entire GNU/Linux community to immediately jailbreak the system.
Switch 2 will have their exploits leaked in months if not weeks time and a working emulator will be out before end of year.
no i mean how will someone dump a switch 2 cart/the switch 2 parts of a swifch 2 edition cart based on yhe assumption that a hacked switch can't read switch 2 carts (and i assume the sams limitation would exist for any standalone switch cart dumpers that exist)
like if someone can hack a switch 2 before next month and dump carts using that then someone working on a emulator could do that and use those dumps but without those how would you test a switch 2 emulator
Mario Kart is the most fun you can legally have
That's just banjo kazooie nuts and bolts.
It's not even the first time Nintendo rips off Nuts and Bolts.
Nintendo doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.
Confirmed to be a retard, yep
has unique games i want to play
isn't out of my price range
that simple
i just want mario kart, i don't care about zelda or anything else, mario odyssey was mediocre.
might just wait for a sale, emulation or a preowned version
This, basically
Seethe more, ESL retard. LOL
same as you
I don't buy outdated hardware at a premium price tag
huh, apparently they can let you do that (by marking the delivery as delayed or something based on the support site) so i will not call your statement bullshit even if it is
You will not meet my progenitors, you will not trick my progenitors, you will not harm my progenitors, you will not command my progenitors, you will not own my progenitors
Why you mad though? I thought parenting was its own reward?
SAAAR SAARR DO NOT REDEEM SWITCH 2 DO NOT REDEEM! WHY DID YOU REDEEM SWITCH 2!? I FUCK YOUR MOTHER!
I've never been to a midnight launch event so I'm excited for that alone. My area at least isn't sketchy either so hopefully no problems there.
discord
Discord inherently fosters drama and faggotry. Use IRC or Matrix if you must have development channels.
IRC
get a load of this boomer
The fact that you jumped right to accomplishments in response to the phrase ESL being uttered just exposes you as being genuinely shitter shattered by it.
t. morbidly obese balding pockmarked but blue eyed blonde "ubermensch"
No need to bring race into it. Thanks for confirming you are in fact anally annihilated over the term ESL.
It's based. Youre the pathetic one here feeling the need to drop a comment on something you have no experience with in a thread about a child's toy.
I'm going to have a kid in 2 years. Wife gets knocked up next year.
Same here. Do hope the case comes first, want that screen protector on it first before playing
Why hasn't my order shipped yet?
Name him Mario.
I'll get a Switch 2 when the games stop costing $70-$80 a pop. Nintendo's only worth it for Metroid and Bayonetta these days, maybe Smash.
Hmmm you sure don't seem insecure at all with a need to proclaim how great parenting is
I'm not buying a Switch 2
I'm buying 2 Switch 2's
Based kids
Lucky, I gotta wait till friday for mine
i love mario kart games simple as
Anyone know yet if the US release is a code in the box or if Mario Kart comes preinstalled?
didn't have a Switch 1 and it was really annoying sometimes when i couldn't play some of the games i wanted to. So now i pre-ordered the 2 so i can play them + new shit
It has games.
seems like US is preintalled, need to register it to an account though
Go on YouTube and other parts of the internet
Everyone shitting on Nintendo for $80 games
Go heres
Anons defending Nintendo instead
Why are you guys like this? Either:
Blind followers
Accelerationists
why are people who like nintendo and participating in a nintendo thread okay with the things nintendo does
it really boggles the fucking mind, doesn't it?
Not a single soul is defending the $80 pricetag
Your switch has a grocery bag, that means it'll get here by 9am directly from a Walmart in your area, your case has a package icon that means it'll be shipped from a warehouse who knows where and be delivered later in the day by UPS/USPS/FedEx
$80 is gay but complaining here won't change anything
and they're gonna buy it anyway, just like us, might as well talk about the gameplay rather than saying what's already been said about the price for the 1000th time
How soon can we expect concrete sales numbers? 1-2 weeks?
How much was that case? I still need to order one and a screen protector, will probably buy it off Amazon so I get it tomorrow before my switch on Thursday
You'll probably get the news that it had the biggest launch in history by the weekend
I know now why you buy Switch 2, but it is something I can never do.
goes to algorithm controlled site A and B
wow all these opinions are the same
Don't you have some Kotaku ai clickbait to read
PAY DEVELOPERS WHAT THEY'RE WORTH
I liek accelerationism 'cos I gotta go fast
My spouse is a very casual gamer and she really enjoys Nintendo games and dreamlight valley and shit. Watching her play that on the switch chugging to run makes me sad and I want her to enjoy it more
buying a console on launch
It's the ultimate gaming. No handheld is as powerful as it
you know you can just return it if it's defective
0:30
makes me laugh every time
If I had to buy a S2, I'd at least get the bundle with the only launch title.
Switch 2 Lite will happen lol
Prime 4 is already on Switch 1 codemonkeybro
REVIVE IT FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING
Make the emulator block trying to boot any rom before release date.
How is this going to work on an open source project?
I was not the same anon btw, being called an ESL doesn't bother me and i just wanted to point some things out.
that sounds like a you problem
I have absolutely nothing better to do with my life.
is this out yet? Like 2 more days right?
I'll buy it because its a cool gadget, but I will do it like in 2 years
To resell them to anxious nintendo fans and make an easy buck in the process.
ONLY IF SOMEONE MAKES A NEW IMAGE
You only see Nintendo hate videos because that's what the algorithm gives you.
You watch one video on a subject and the system will just keep feeding you more on that same subject.
Yea, heard it could be earlier or later. Going to the midnight launch with my brother for his switch 2 so may just pick one up there if I can
Only like $35
he's prolly a snoy so for him "gameplay" is lesbians talking about their feelings on screen for 40 minutes
Yes, but you will have to pay between 10 to 20 dollars for each game that needs an update and is not listed on this website, just a few
nintendo.com
in fact animal crossing new horizons, metroid dread, prime remaster, luigi mansion 3, bayonetta 2 and 3, sword & shield, legends arceus, astral chain, smash ultimate, xenoblade chronicle series, pikmin series, yoshi crafted world, and many others are not listed, so you will have to pay for an update as well
pre-order from Target since that's the site that worked first
still hasn't charged me for it
still waiting for it to ship
I'm not getting it on release day, am I?
shiggydiggy
I hope you do though
****Internet, Nintendo Switch Online membership and Nintendo Account required for online features, including GameChat. Not available in all countries.
So the GameShare function is to recast the game local or online to another Switch, so you are duplicating the screen and giving the use of the controls to someone else
If you do not pay for Game Chat, you can not use it, neither online nor local, plus it depends on the environmental conditions, the game will be laggy for other users
bravo Nintendo
Why hasn't Best Buy shipped my console?
I am apparently not according to this so I have to hope it at least gets to me before the 11th
If you do not pay for Game Chat, you can not use it, neither online nor local
Online no because gameshare is done via gamechat, and even then they’re doing an open-access period where it’s free for a year, but local will still be useable just fine even without online
plus it depends on the environmental conditions, the game will be laggy for other users
Yes, if you try doing gameshare online with mcdonalds wifi or locally while everyone’s extremely far apart it’s gonna lead to connection issues and be laggy
I wish to play Mario Kart and the new Donkey Kong.
I don't see Mario Kart as a selling point, but I'd rather just get it now instead of having to find one later when I want the following games.
3D Mario
Paper Mario
Mario & Luigi
2D Zelda that isn't shit like EOW
3D Zelda that is good or just a remake of OOT please
*sips*
Games
*SIPPPPPPPS*
Only have to get through one more day of work and then all I have to do is wait for delivery the day after
WE
ARE
SO
CLOSE
I'll wait until the next version comes out like Oled to switch 1.
This console is supposed to be compared to the PS6 and next XBOX console, and honestly it feels leagues behind.
To scalp it to nintendies
"What we're unveiling is the next leap in gaming; to a place where playing is no longer just about looks--it's about the feel. Where it's no longer confined to just the few--it's about everyone. And most of all, the next leap is not about what you see, because what you see is not always what you get. The next leap is about playing, because playing is believing." - Reggie Fils-Aimé
Maybe when chipping becomes a thing. No RCM this time.
vgh... so much sovl in one image.
Any Nintendo console that doesn't launch with a mainline Zelda game is cursed. I'm not even saying that because I want a new Zelda game right now (I'm more in Metroid mode anyway), but that's just the pattern.
N64 launches without a Zelda
Lose to PS1
Gamecube launches without a Zelda
Loses to PS2
Wii launches with Twilight Princess
Wins, and by a huge margin
WiiU launches without a Zelda
Is an embarrassing disaster
Switch launches with BotW
One of the most successful consoles in history
Switch 2 launches without a Zelda
???
There is no way it'll capture the normies, that's for sure. They bought a Switch already, and it still works.
I only care about one thing and it’s marketing buzzwords
but your wife asked me for a switch2. a switch2 her asshole because her pussy was getting sore.
Botw was a Wii u game though
And TP was a Gamecube game
Simultaneous release, just like Twilight Princess was. If you wanted the definitive version, you got the newer console version. There's a reason why the prior console version is worth more money, and that's because not as many people bought that version.
Awful lot of assumptions you're making, I don't see why a free patch couldn't come later. All the free patches are games developed internally by Nintendo except Pokemon which honestly is shocking to see listed here
are the Switch 1 and Switch 2 the same aspect ratio?
and if not, does it even matter for modern games?
i'm autistic with integer scaling when i emulate retro shit
I can't even tell if I'm excited anymore and I've thought about cancelling my pre-order a lot but I think I'll just go with it since I managed to get one. All the outrage stuff gets exhausting and I can't browse this board for more than 3 minutes without getting buzzword fatigue for any game/series whatever. I'm mostly looking forward to time trials for some reason
Because i wanted one.
I own a shitload of switch games i still need to play.
Might as well do so with nicer graphics or at least framerates that actually hit their target.
soulcalibur 2 with nintendo switch online
Waiting for more compelling exclusives or Xenoblade X performance upgrades.
Gen Alpha is based, doesnt give a shit about consoles because they dont see the point since PC and phones can do everything they do better, and they're right
Any other Ausfalia/Prison Island posters here? What are my chances of picking up a Switch 2 in store, is the stock all gone for preorders?
But can they play Mario Kart World?
I don't know, call or go in and ask the employees of your local stores if they'll have stock for walk-ins
I'll ask my local officeworks and see if they will have it in, I was just wondering if anyone had any insider information here.
Ausfalia gets preferential treatment from Nintendo, so I was hoping a lot of stock.
so I was hoping a lot of stock.
we actually did get a lot of stock, preorders for launch day systems didn't sell out for months whilst everywhere else was selling out instantly
It's trash. Hopefully nobody buys it and scalpers lose money.
ready
it's over.
They probably expected an ubislop open world
What’s even the point of a new Mario Kart? 8 has perfected the formula. There’s nowhere to go from that. Making it open world makes no sense if there’s nothing to do in the world. I guess they could make some hidden collectables like in the 3d Mario games, but I don’t see how that could be fun when you’re stuck in a car.
call it world
the world is bad
Anon Babble is hell if you’re looking for actual discussion. You gotta get your fix somewhere else if that’s what you’re looking for.
Unironically letting yourself be influenced by literal antijapan psyops polluting this shithole.
It's not even just a le conspiracy theory either.
Deltarune releases around the evening in my time zone
barely any time to play before I go to Switch 2's "midnight" release because no pre-orders
risk hearing spoilers from people waiting in line
depending on where and how early I go, I may not even get the console
If you dont want it then dont buy it you retard. You can just wait until theres an actual game worth playing in 3-4 years. You're literally complaining that you aren't as caught up in the FOMO as you expected.
got TotK at launch
didn't finish it
gonna finish it on the Switch 2 with improved performance
I haven't gotten spoiled on the story either, so I'm excited to play the game at a locked 60FPS.
schizo faggot
China makes better games than Japan
Korea makes better games than Japan
France makes better games than Japan
USA makes better games than Japan
It won't be long before even India makes better games than Japan

If you decide immediately, delivery is possible after noon on 6/4, the day before the release date
So I heard that unless a patch comes out for old switch 1 games they'll all play exactly like on a regular switch? Including third party ones?
I don't. Not yet at least. No games.
Looks completely pointless at the moment.
The backwards compatibility forces quality graphix with performance fps while upscaling with DLSS.
Unless devs patch for the switch 2 to do more than that, that's kinda it.
you grew up
Straight upgrade
Straight downgrade
Why not?
My Gamecube controller started shipping an hour ago.
no games yet
Where are you donating that you're getting $700 for one donation? I got interested in this but everywhere I'm looking only gives $50-70 per donation.
Kinda disappointing as i'm still not sure if i'll buy mario kart and none of the launch games interest me. Surprised that barely any 3rd party devs has come out and said that they'll be putting in 60fps patches for the switch 2.
and said that they'll be putting in 60fps patches for the switch 2.
i don't think you understand anon, that happens by default
the patches are to make games look even better than on switch 1 quality mode or to get support for 70+ fps and upwards
Why do you buy Switch 2
Because I want to play bing bing wahoo games with my friend that is also getting it. Also F-Zero GX online sounds fun.
buying a brick
NTA. but I'm buying one because I fear that the second wave of reliable releases won't happen until after a price hike happens.
Is there any way to disable DLSS? I fucking hate DLSS.
it seems to be a heavy customized DLSS algorithm, there's basically no blur or ghosting
even the pixel hunters at sodomy foundry didn't even notice the games were using upscaling
I'm not.
Overpriced games
Games are fake physical "key cards"
No no BOTW teir system seller on launch
Nintendo updating EULA to brick consoles and block lawsuits
paid upgrades for games are already paid $60 for
I'm not doing it. My switch 1 OLED is fine. I don't need to coonsume product and support shitty behavior. I already have more games than I do time and will to play them all.
I live in Kansas City and multiple clinics are offering that much. It may just be for the first donation though, I'll find out when I go for the first time this Saturday.
basically no blur or ghosting
basically
not none, just "basically" none
That's why I want to disable it. I have no tolerance for upscaling.
I do wonder if they're hiding something wrong with the system if they didn't allow reviewers to review the console before launch.
Lol, lmao even. Imagine being so bad at vidya you think nintenbro has a "high skill ceiling". What's it like being a retarded negro?.
Basically every Mario game is what you're describing. Easy to learn, but nearly impossible to master. There are people still grinding out the 2D Marios from 40 years ago because the gameplay is that deep.
They aren't "hiding" shit, why the fuck would they give review units to monkeys that actively advocated for piracy of their games before street date?
Because it's been a decade since a new Mario Kart.
Retards ITT are underestimating the lengths that Nvidia and Nintendo went to make sure the switch 2 is damn near unhackable.
There is ZERO switch 1 hardware in the switch 2. Completely different architecture and it's only backcompat via software emulation (like series x and 360 games).
They even changed how their entire DRM system works on the back end. Let alone any unknown cryptography they implemented. Modern gamers can't even Crack denuvo for God's sake.
Tl;Dr Switch 2 will be hacked and an emulator will be released right after the Series X one does.
paid upgrades for games
all upgrades are free except for the ones that add new DLC or new modes
youtu.be
This video explains the inside and ours of console security for the Xbox One. This is over a decade old now. It's unironically over
this guy should be a fortnite skin
right after the Series X one does.
pretty bad bet to make when a normal xbone emulator is already booting games and jumping from that to the SeX is not that big of a stretch
Problem is the ones that add dlc CAN'T be upgraded for free.
If you want 60fps in Zelda you HAVE to pay up which is bullshit
jumping from that to the SeX is not that big of a stretch
Then where is it? Console is 5 years old now. A switch 2 emulator in 2030 might be possible.
Also people forget there has NEVER been a software mod on the patched switches. So the chances of Nintendo fucking up software wise like the wiibomb or 3ds shit is damn near zero
Zelda is worth every penny. It's the best zelda game ever made, it's also one of the best video games of all time.
I thought you had to have paid online to get them for free?
Either way the upgrades aren't free if I'm paying $450 for new hardware. The real concern is pushing gane prices to $70 - $80 and killing physical. Less for more. I'm not even against Nintendo, the switch has been my favorite console to come out in the past 15 years. But I'm not going to put up with shitty behavior.
$90 dollars for a wii u game
Nigga please. Remember when Nintendo used to permanently discount games that sold well? Pepperidge farm does
and killing physical
I think basically all first party games so far use proper cartridges anon.
Only third party AAAs are doing keycard shit and even then seemingly only SE and crapcom because trannypunk is all in the cart.
The biggest lie publishers and console manufacturers told gamers in the early 2010s was thar digital would be cheaper for consumers.
I also remember when snoy and xbox didn't kill themselves licking kike smegma directly from the mutilated dick, which meant nintendo had real competition and a reason to lower prices.
basically all first party games so far use proper cartridges anon
For now. But as soon as Nintendo sees the average consumer gives zero fucks about game key cards. You bet your ass they'll start testing the waters. Won't be the next Mario or smash but ring fit 2 might be a key card only
Wii U
system transfer from switch 1 to 2 just moves the save files and album shit
eshop is gonna get raped with everyone forced to re-download their switch 1 games
There's a rumor the NA MK bundle has the game pre-installed. Fucking hope so
2 more weeks goy, this time for real
They did it for the wii and gamecube as well.
Point is they're raping the consumers and pretending they never did this program at all
If the consumers are letting Nintendo rape them, Nintendo isn't going to stop.
We should make a Switch 2 hacking copium chart.
it'll be hacked day one
emulator by the end of the month
switch 1 versions on pc run better on the steam deck
those games suck anyway
Etc. It'll be fun to watch
Any US bros gotten delivery from Walmart before? Is it done by an employee and will they have GPS tracking? I don't want my shit disappearing.
Yup with the switch it was the beginning of the end. No trade up options for niggas who got mk8 on the wii u.
No ambassador program for anyone who owned a wii u. Gutting virtual console and drip feeding games. (smash 64 was on v on the wii still MIA on switch)
Its bullshit
Because it'll inevitably get more games to play, and I haven't been to a midnight launch in forever. I'll take a ride by Best Buy around 10pm or so and if it doesn't look like a complete mad house I'll try my luck in line. If I get one, awesome, if not I can wait.
Walmart apparently is using the same shitty third party Amazon uses for their flex drivers. So expect literal trash like pic related to delivery your package.
Not sure about the tracking but see if you have the option for in store pick up
Yeah but Nintendo is giving them the option. They are enabling it. And if you want the bundle and not to pay $80 for Mario Cart, that will be digital only. And the digital game card thing is also Nintendo.
If you're a physical game collector and you want to collect for this console, it sucks. They didn't have to do this and a deliberate decision was made to screw me over.
I think bestbuy holds pre orders for 2 weeks so there might be a stock dump at that time.
You can also try the website during release
I think they got real tired of flashcarts and this is their ultimate solution. In their eyes it's a win win. No need to pay for memory on the cart and no way for flashcarts to just use the same dump 10000x over.
I don't see anything on the page about in store pickup.
I called Walmart and asked, they said yes and even said I could pay for it at pick-up buuuut I'm double checking after work tomorrow before hopping over to Best Buy if it turns out I was lied to
My girlfriend bought me a 1911 and a signed Bo Jackson jersey so I'm getting her a switch 2 and a macbook
Nintendo not allowing pre-release reviews
What are they hiding?
Watch your doorbell camera/wait outside watching like a hawk for these fuckers. Around here they all use rented accounts so they don't give a fuck about getting deactivated. And they'll 100% know what kind of cargo they're hauling.
Well keep the tracking open and make sure you have their support number in case that shit doesn't arrive
my mfw when I scalped 100 shitch 2's
I have a lot of disposable income
Unironically nothing. They get to keep the servers offline till release to prevent leaks. Journalists aren't needed to sell a Nintendo console. And Nintendo know most will just say some outrageous shit to get clickbait ad revenue. What can a journalist tell you about the system you can't figure out on your own.
Smartest shit they've done in a while.
No OLED, no buy
You don't have an OLED tv?
I'm literally only buying this for Mario Kart World and Duskborne (whenever that releases).
It's not a win win though. Pirates were never going to buy their games anyway. Never on the level of a physical collector.
I own like 70+ switch carts and now I'm not buying this console. And there are plenty of others in the same boat, all based on the business decisions they made. All they had to do was be reasonable and it would have been an instant success.
No, he's getting married soon and I'm a wizard.
Thanks for the tip, anon! 1am works out perfectly since by then I should have a good idea if I'm gonna get through in person.
Pirates were never going to buy their games anyway.
Not sure I agree with that statement.
Have you ever considered that you'd be happier not owning anything?
Maybe wait a few years. There's a possibility that 64GB carts will become cheaper to make over time so less games will be on key cards.
Dwarf fortress
Garry's Mod
obsessed
Because it's the norm everywhere and every tech company does it? It feels like the battery life is going to be ass and they're trying to hide it.
That's a cope. Half the fun is finding limited physical releases and region exclusive imports.
Why are you repeating the WEF like they have your best interest in mind?
You really want to do it, huh?
I am skipping this iterative console and waiting for something actually new.
Oh, I don’t
this isnt a costs issue, its a third party being kikes issue
Out of the 3 consoles, Switch is probably the only one with any exclusives worth caring about and even then just barely. PC still stomps them all.
Father here, it isnt' without its downsides but its actually kinda awesome in a way thats hard to describe. Though my toddler grabbed my wife's switch out her hands and threw it at the floor busting one her joycons.
I have money, like Nintendo first party games, and travel a lot. Need something to do on my 19 hour flight in two weeks, and the 23 hour flight back in 7 weeks, other than steamdeck and phone. Got my wife one too. Gonna play a lotta mario kart and finally play Tears of a Kingdom (couldn't stomach how awful it looked on Switch 1 and it is a bit unstable on Citron in Steamdeck). Donkey Kong and Metroid 4 also look fun so going to enjoy playing those as well while I wait eons for more first party games.
May also just sell them if the novel doesn't hold on my trip to see family. Figure we'll make money on them so win-win.
It has a glass screen with a screen protector pre-applied from the factory you dumb nigger. Just like the OLED model.
And Switch 2 carts are more expensive than Switch 1 carts. I don't begrudge the publisher of a 7GB game for not thinking shelling out for a 64GB cart is worth it just to have retail presence.
This is NOT fun.
Bought it day one so my kid can flex on poors on the playground
Tell your faggot-ass kids to stop posting on Anon Babble. They'd fit in better on r/pcmasterrace
Based as fuck
Same, except 14-hour flights twice a year with a few domestic flights in between. Vidya is king for long flights.
I don't see why a free patch couldn't come later
The last game shown in that list of free games is Echos of Wisdom, released at the end of 2024, and you say that no other game developed by Nintendo before that date could prepare it for the launch of the new console? Don't make me laugh, they could have easily added games like Luigi's Mansion 3, Metroid Prime Remaster or Animal Crossing New Horizons, because they just need to increase the resolution and framerate, just like that list of free updated games, but they don't do it because they know people would be angry if they saw the vast majority of their games, behind a paywall on Switch 2
Now if you want me to rumor things, maybe to avoid complaints, Nintendo delayed the backward compatibility update to Switch 1 for this very reason. Time will prove me right or wrong, there are only a few days left to find out. But one thing you can be sure of, even if they make good games, you shouldn't trust a company that raised the standard in $80 games
but local will still be useable just fine even without online
the thing is that you are streaming the game to the console, something that is already done with phones and pcs in the past, search on google cast or nvidia gamestream, it's not a demo of the game, it's literally streaming the game to another console, so it's not like ds and for that reason it can only be done with switch 2 and not 1
and for the same reason, it will depend on the external conditions, for example being very far or close to the console and that there is no interference, as I said, it's streaming the game to another console, and multiple times, maybe the game has to run at 30 fps to achieve stability
I like Mario Kart, I see open World Mario Kart, I want to play open World Mario Kart, so I buy the console and game.
Pre order one too to play with my 8 y/o he told me why no get him a iPhone to play Roblox, here is still time to cancel the order at least
I'll only buy one if Final Fantasy Tactics Remake/Remaster is shadow-dropped for it's release.
based keedz
officeworks
wtf they sell consoles?
It was pretty easy getting one straight from bingtendo
bingbingwahooooooooooo
Indeed. I take this trip twice a year to visit my wife's family in Norway. Gonna make the brutal day more bearable. Hope you enjoy.
So who is getting an SD Express card? I want to but I doubt I'll fill up the on-board storage until around Christmas. The Onn branded one is 800MB/s and only 33 for the 256GB or 56 for the 512GB. Way cheaper than everything else and in stock in local stores. Onn (walmart) also has a nice glass scree protector for 12 bucks you can get in stores right now.
My assistant failed to secure a preorder so she is going to wait in line for it. Get in a position in life where people just do shit for you. It's awesome.
I'm waiting for them to get cheaper/until I actually need it
Does anyone else get a launch day console so that it'll be easier to hack games on to when it goes EOL? It's a years long wait but it does help.
yes but I'm going to put mine in airplane mode and get some mario kart in and a replay of both major zelda games in the mean time.
Okay daddy, now go change your baby diaper and get your hands full of shart
Btw if you dont put a lot of effort that kid is going to hate you once you grow up, so you better not be too lazy or neglectful!
I thought it was Samus' ass in the front from the thumbnail.
Same. I have no interest in Mariokart 8.5 or DonkeyKong Minecraft.
Tendies are cattle
this
that would give the team only 3 years after Tears of the kingdom
if they don't so weird shit like make an entire system of physics to make mechs, then maybe they could do it in 3 years
ill get it eventually when a used switch 2 lite starts going for cheap
then ill mainly use it for ps4 ports
Because if it's anything like the Switch 1, you want an early version if it's hackable.
1 hour to go bros
buying a switch 2 will put money into jensen's leather jacket fund
kek
imagine the smell
Are you new? Half the posters and threads on Anon Babble are literal paid shills. So of course the defense force is going to be out of control here.
you can't just like a game, and buy a system to play that game!
its just kinda retarded considering the fact there are hundreds of great games you havent played yet
let's fucking go xisters!
im not buying one but hyped to watch youtube vids about it
console launches are comfy
PC
Nope. Just phones. Winlator takes care of the rest, and whatever comes after gen alpha won't care about le mustard race unc shit.
Based as fuck
But it comes out on the 5th right?
kek there are 5 troons in that pic alone
Uh, don't you mean one day? Launch night is tomorrow night.
Actually I just noticed there's 360's on the shelves. This is an old ass pic.
Troons love shittendo
Legitimately the only reason I'm getting one is because the way things have been going lately it's probably going to get even more expensive later so I might as well get it now. Also my old Switch was dying on me so I wanted to trade it away
they don't accept weed heads
Fucking kill me. Just take a fucking gun, put it to my temple, and blow my brains out.
And fuck you Amazon
I can afford it and Nintendo games are fun and have lots of gameplay
If Walmart doesn't give ship it, taking a chance that my gamestop will have it when they open at 11AM and will scalp the Walmart Switch 2 if I can't cancel it
bought the wrong sd card
Idiot
It says EX?
I buy scalped items then open them and damage them. Then I tell Ebay they arrived damaged.
I have a feeling it’s gonna flop hard
skip U
I want to get one but Nintendo wont let me.
I'm a diehard boomer nintenfag, I have every nintendo console that I bought at launch, and I have zero interest in the switch 2. I can only consider it a bad sign
Lottery?, on my shithole pre orders are still up
I live in Japan.
Nintendo have decided to do a JP Only model and an Multilingual model here.
Nintendo, in their infinite wisdom have decided to limit the Multilingual Switch to their online website only. No electronic stores are allowed to sell the Multilingual Switch 2. Only Nintendo's online store can. So I have to enter the lottery to get a chance to buy one, which by the way you need to have had 12 months nintendo switch online and 50 hours of gamplay to apply for. I have been in the lottery since the first one too and still nothing.
They must have like 5 of them because no way theres this many foriegners here and I doubt the Japs are getting the 20,000 Yen more expensive model of the Switch 2.
Mine ships on the fucking 8th...
I have never bought tendieslop in my life, my parents had a nes/snes when I was born, bought me a n64, gcn, gbc, gba, ds, and wii. that wii was the last Nintendo product I ever owned
Imagine being an adult and actually buying tendieslop and spending your valuable time on it. it's actually perplexing to me that people do this
Am an idort, buy every console. Even if I wasn't Totk at 60 is enough of an incentive. 450 dollars is nothing to me I make that much every day before lunch.
totk at 60 is available on pc, goyim
Smart little shits. Nice
They don't test for drugs
Wait
..
Dkwna
27th??
Games
Maybe I’m just prejudiced but I normally like games that have complex mechanics and that you could play for 300 hours and still be learning new things.
What are some games where this happens?
I'll get one once it's hacked and drops in price. I wonder how it will do for emulation vs Deck1
got my first switch 2 years ago (totk oled ver)
licking lips waiting for switch 1 games to tank when the next console comes out
fucking nintendo pulls a turbo jew and makes every mainline nintendo game the definitive version on switch 2
switch 1 vidya prices went back up
Seriously I think the winning move is to just get in early these days and play the monthly or bi monthly release. I actually do have a massive backlog of games on this thing, and am nowhere near done with it, but I'll be paying near retail for fresh copies anyways, so what's the fucking point. Might sell off my gamer pc or some retro consoles , and get switch 2....
Switch has downgraded Wii U ports
Shitch 2 has no games
i'm waiting for it to be hacked, ported to pc and then i'll play it emulated.
why is this a good thing? i dont pay a dime for rent and can save up money way better than you? amerimutts are beyond retarded i swear to god.
Sure.
give them a pc with integrated graphics so they can learn how to fix issues themselves and learn how to navigate a PC thats a valuable skill not many people have
