It makes me so happy to see how much of a positive influence gaming can be on people. Some of my fondest memories of growing up take me back to the experiences I had with my friends/family while gaming. Today it is something that is easily takes me away from the negativity of the world we live in. And having a daughter, I get to experience many things fresh and new with the next generation.
Hopefully it will help encourage me to stop buying every game that I “kind of wanted” because there’s a slight discount on it. Probably over 800 games in my backlog and I only play 4 hours a week I’m guessing. 🤦♂️
I’m cool with keycards, but I’ll only spend half at max of what I would for a physical cartridge just like I do with almost all my other digital only purchases.
I love Star Wars and will be supporting this one as long as it runs well. I’m excited to get some of these games I missed out on after stopping at my ps4 pr.
Imho the 4k and FPS increase should be free-5$ depending on how much programming goes into it. Games with switch 2 dlc added can be 10-20 though depending on how substantial the add ons are. Again, just my opinion with no programming knowledge.
I’m glad the Zelda updates are free for subscribers though. It would be awesome to see more of that offered or even 5-10$ off upgrade prices for ones they can’t do for free.
The NA preorders have a hype I haven’t seen since the Wii. I know people intending to wait in line while also having PCs and cells ready to preorder online too. This thing is going to be impossible to find.
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.

Re: Xbox Branded Handheld Photos Leak, And It's Not Quite As Slick As The Switch 2
I’d prefer to just buy a switch 2 and all the Microsoft games I’d want on that. Or even just get gamepass on it.

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.

@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).
