I hated this game so much but I still kind of want to play it again if the fixes actually make it beatable. I never got passed the mushroom level or something like that.
This is fun and I like it. However I wonder how the uninformed consumer may comprehend the bad FPS in the video camera closeups. We know it’s just an optional add on and you’re not even playing those screens. But the fact that they zoomed in and did closeups showing it may confuse people who don’t have a clue what they’re looking at.
Something that confused me in a Nintendolife preview was apparently the gyro control is only activated by locking on (I believe). Is this true that you can’t have gyro the whole time or did I misunderstand their comment?
I just wish we were getting the master chief collection too. Would be so monumental and historical. But as it is, it’s a decent release list imho. I think game cube with rogue leader and super monkey ball was my fav.
@splinters No, those are two that you pay for (unless you have the Nintendo account). I’m talking about this list, which is free regardless of any Nintendo accounts:
Arms Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics Game Builder Garage The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Pokemon Scarlet Pokemon Violet Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury Super Mario Odyssey
How will they determine what switch 1 games will have the switch 2 “paid upgrade” and what ones will be free? And can they please clarify what exactly the free upgrades will be like (resolution bump, increased FPS, etc)?
I’m sure they can dip into the North American stock if needed since we won’t be getting the system any time soon or if we do it’ll be for $800 bucks or something.
Excellent. I love grossing people out with it. I introduced my wife to it over the weekend coincidentally. She couldn’t believe they made them taste bad and I dared her to lick Mario kart ! 🤣😂
I’m waiting to find out if hogwarts will be an upgrade title or have to buy new. Then I’ll have a better idea of what I want. Very glad tears of kingdom is a free upgrade for nintendo online+ members though, saved myself some money there since that was also on my list.
Speaking of control options, has anyone investigated the potential of the camera and joycon working like a wiimote with super accurate pointer control? It would be like a reverse Wii setup but still be equally as functional wouldn’t it? If so I’m really hoping for a return of “light gun” gaming like those amazing resident evil shooters and the house of the dead series. 🤞
The delay is rough but I’ll just keep my fingers crossed for no price increase. Though a 46% tariff or whatever it is, I can’t imagine they won’t. I’m guessing $50-80 minimum increase for consoles and 10$-20$ increase for games.
Pretty exciting first round of treehouse reveals. I’m hoping we see some more third party games in the near future for comparison with how other consoles and handhelds are running them.
I’d still like to see a smoothing option added on the nes and snes. When I hacked my snes mini I did the function that kept their scan line filter but removed the lines to just retain the smoothing that it used and the games looked fantastic.
7/10 for me. Didn’t touch on nearly enough first party. No Mario 3d? Could have used a lot more “upgrade ready” game list (plus prices). A few more GameCube games ready at launch. Really was hoping for master chief collection. And I guess it does nothing improvement wise for old switch games, which really disappointed me most of all since I have 800+ game backlog.
I’ll give this one a shot just because of how beautiful it is. I keep hoping for clarification on upgrading vs paying brand new price for hogwarts while on the topic of good looking games.
I’m a little concerned that this could be about multiplayer. There could be some substantial work required to put together something. If that’s the case but the single players (hopefully with co op) are all there, I don’t mind too much. Though I hope we get some multiplayer and maybe even crossplay soon thereafter.
That’s just me guessing though since I feel like the single player of each game wouldn’t be all that complicated to release all at once
I stopped myself from buying an Xbox S with the hope I get a halo collection on the switch 2. That is guaranteed money from me and all my friends I grew up with who also would buy a switch 2 for handheld halo 1.
@SoIDecidedTo Anytime. I’m glad I was able to bring awareness to the sale! I grabbed the cheaper price as well, though I won’t get to the game for a while. Hahaha. Enjoy ❤️❤️

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Confirmed As The First Switch 2 Title To Use Nvidia's DLSS Upscaling
I always prefer resolution to FPS.
I do get a kick out of the crowd that is adamant that DLSS isn’t legitimate or real on the switch 2 somehow. Bless their livid little hearts.

Wish eternal darkness and rogue squadron could have been in that GameCube game list.

Re: Community: What Questions About Switch 2 Do You Still Have For Nintendo?
@splinters Yup, no problem. That’s also why I’m wondering what the deal is with them (and others down the road I’m sure).

Was really sad we didn’t see master chief collection. And is the Harry Potter game upgrade fee ready or a new purchase?
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
7/10 for me. Didn’t touch on nearly enough first party. No Mario 3d? Could have used a lot more “upgrade ready” game list (plus prices). A few more GameCube games ready at launch. Really was hoping for master chief collection. And I guess it does nothing improvement wise for old switch games, which really disappointed me most of all since I have 800+ game backlog.
