@JohnnyMind I started the game as soon as that glitch was announced so I can use it. Lol. I’m curious to know if it’s patched out or not as well since I’ll wait to update if it is.
400 makes sense to me and I’m okay with that. I’m just excited to find out how it handles old switch games. FPS boost, resolution upgrade, handheld equivalent of the dock, or maybe even nothing at all. Lol. Either way, my 800+ game backlog will be getting a lot of attention on the new system.
Not having the oled is one of the only things I’m truly disappointed about. I’ve been a fan of oled since I bought a zune with it. Lol. But I’ll survive. And when/if they do an upgrade with it, I’ll get that anyway.
I hope we see some major updates. Also, I’d love for some better navigation of what we already bought. Even just an alphabetical sorting to pick what I want to download on my switch 2.
I tried Star Fox zero and it just wasn’t for me. It’s cool some people liked it, there was definitely fun to be had. But I just wanted another on rails style game like 64. I think we can all agree we’d love to see more games with the series though.
@Bloodbottler Agreed. It’s wild that shadows of the empire and rogue squadron have had no remaster discussion. Shadows in particular could really use some modern adjustments.
Does it have save states so you don’t have to replay long stretches? I don’t think my brother and I ever beat a level that had mushrooms that you’d jump on (my vague recollection at least).
@MrCarlos46 there had been several debates and discussions focusing on the size of a chip following one of the motherboard leaks. Actually it was the empty space where the chip would be. The debate is if it would be 8nm or 5nm, with people adamant that the 8nm would stunt the system and make Nintendo lower clock speeds during handheld play so the battery wouldn’t drain. And other people said because it’s custom architecture that it could be the larger (but less efficient) chip and still run just fine.
It’s me being tongue in cheek because the debate and discussion about it was the talk of the town for a few days during the last leak. To the point it was almost apocalyptic and people said the system would be worthless, out dated junk without a 5nm. It got pretty wild.
I didn’t even know bloody Baron was a side quest it was so involved. And I don’t know if it counts or not but breath of the wild island where you lose all your gear was really surprising and fun.
I have over 800 switch games. This having backwards compatibility has guaranteed I’ll be buying it because I can move forward while still working on my backlog. Plus if it plays them enhanced in anyway, it’s a nice bonus. Very very smart move by Nintendo. Especially with the digital age where it can help encourage digital purchases knowing they aren’t “dead” after a console is finished.
It’s wild to me they re released these two games rather than just making a third. I mean I appreciate having them and all. I guess the premium cost of it for such an easy release makes sense from a quick cash aspect. Disappointing to me though.
What started the “hello there lovely people, It’s Alex from Nintendo life here?” Just that it’s good practice to have an opening catchphrase or was there more to it?
Awesome if true. I hope that they mention how backwards compatibility will work if they’re not going to cover software much/at all. Like free enhancements or maybe certain games get upgrades you pay for or whatever it’ll be.
@tweaknmod I think no matter what the leaks show and reveal, we will all be eagerly anticipating the official Nintendo unveiling. It’s fun to guess different things they may implement. Personally I’m hoping we see the return of the IR bar for flawless Wii emulation in a Nintendo online upgrade to include GameCube and Wii games. 🤞
@AstroTheGamosian I won’t bet money on this prediction of mine, but I believe the switch 2 will come out very quickly after the reveal. Like revealed in January and then between March and July it’s released. The one rumor I truly believe out of all the others is that they’ve spent the last two years manufacturing them so that they can release millions right away without any stock shortages.
I could absolutely be wrong and maybe they’ll wait til Nov for the holiday rush, but I just have a feeling they want to do a quick reveal and release. Like how Apple does.
@progx I don’t think you’re familiar with the term competition. Any product that can take a customers money is competition. These handhelds are competition.
Hopefully they have some master plan figured out to blow us all away. At least the software end of it can still do that since that’s been almost totally silent.
@Keman While the form is mainly the same (just a bit bigger) I think the precedent set by the cell phone industry help will Nintendo out. A switch 2 is something I think even the most casual of consumer would be able to understand because they’ve already seen it with their iPhones and Galaxys over the last decade.
Nintendo revealing the switch this month and surprise releasing it in March may help get a jump on things, especially if the rumor of millions being manufactured already is true. At this point a surprise quick release and a substantial first party title or two with it will get a nice momentum train to distract from competition.
On one hand I feel bad Nintendo is kinda getting the run around with doing a big reveal themselves (unless no leaks are accurate), on the other hand, free advertising for them for months now.

Re: Nintendo Will "Likely" Price The Switch 2 At $399, Says Analyst

Re: Opinion: Scrapping Gold Points Makes Sense For Nintendo, But It's A Bitter Pill For Loyal Fans
I loved the system. Very very sad to see it go 💔😔
Re: Funko Fusion Is Deemed A "Complete Commercial And Critical Failure"
That’s unfortunate. I was thinking of getting it once it drops to like 20$ or so.
Re: Expect To See The Switch Logo Pop Up In Future Xbox Showcases
Rare replay and halo collection works for me. And maybe working directly with Nintendo to release the remastered goldeneye.
Re: 'System Shock 2' Remaster Is Coming To Nintendo Switch With A New Name
Looking good. Bioshock series was always one of my favs and I’ve been curious about system shock forever. May just have to give this a shot.
Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2
Not having the oled is one of the only things I’m truly disappointed about. I’ve been a fan of oled since I bought a zune with it. Lol. But I’ll survive. And when/if they do an upgrade with it, I’ll get that anyway.

I hope we see some major updates. Also, I’d love for some better navigation of what we already bought. Even just an alphabetical sorting to pick what I want to download on my switch 2.
Re: Nintendo Talks About Future Switch Support Ahead Of Switch 2 Launch
Since switch 2 plays em, I’ll still buy switch 1 games. Unless switch 2 gets better versions.
Re: Take-Two's "Longstanding Relationship" With Nintendo Seemingly Set To Continue
@Bunkerneath lol. Let’s not get TOO crazy here 😂🤣😜😜
Re: 'Operation Night Strikers' Brings Four Action-Packed Arcade Classics To Switch This Year
Hoping switch 2 gets an IR bar or if not, just use the mouse support to make these games somewhat more playable.
Re: Take-Two's "Longstanding Relationship" With Nintendo Seemingly Set To Continue
How about gta 4 or 5 or even 6 on a Nintendo console?
Re: "Nintendo Is Probably The Easiest To Scam" - Devs Discuss The Current State Of The eShop
I just find what I want on deku deals and click the link to the eshop, right to the game. I can’t imagine navigating any of that on the system itself.

Re: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered Updated On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes
Did they not put save states or rewind in these games?
Re: Rumour: Another Xbox Game Could Be Racing Onto Switch 2, It's Claimed
@TheBigK To play rush 2049 stunt mode again would be a nostalgia dream.
Re: Rumour: Another Xbox Game Could Be Racing Onto Switch 2, It's Claimed
I would be so excited if one of the launch titles for switch 2 is the halo collection. 🤯
Re: Japanese Charts: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Continues Its Winning Streak
I just hope somehow this success will lead to a re-release or remakes of the snes games (with the snes controls 🤞).
Re: Bananas Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Platforming Problem Is Ruining The Co-Op Fun
I’ve never been more disappointed at a games success than I was when I saw this abomination was charting.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2: Everything We Know About The New Console
@MrCarlos46 Exactly. We just have to wait and see. People jump the gun and get gloom and doom too quickly.

Re: Zelda Fan Film Kicks Off Fundraising Campaign With First Live-Action Trailer
So could they just rob everyone of the funds and then pretend Nintendo stopped the project?
I know there’s Friday the 13th fan films but I feel like they aren’t allowed to make money on them to exist.
Re: Multiple Resident Evil Titles Might Be Getting A Next-Generation Refresh
Get those Wii light gun games updated and add an IR attachment to the switch 2 top usb slot. 👍
Re: Nintendo Switch 2: Everything We Know About The New Console
Apparently the 8nm vs 5nm will determine if the system is any good or not (according to Reddit). 😂🤣😂🤣
Re: Community: What Are Your Favourite Sidequests On Switch?
I didn’t even know bloody Baron was a side quest it was so involved. And I don’t know if it counts or not but breath of the wild island where you lose all your gear was really surprising and fun.
Re: Analyst States That Switch 2's Price Won't "Really Matter" For Early Adopters
No matter what it costs I’m buying it. It’ll just be less games and accessories if it’s too pricey.
Re: Nintendo: Switch 2's Backwards Compatibility Feature Is The "Best Direction" For Consumers

Re: Video: We've Spotted Some Secrets In The Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer
I’m just getting a kick out of the 5nm vs 8nm chip people and how detailed the arguing gets. The wait and popcorn continues.
Re: Random: Switch 2 Leakers Called Out By Industry Veteran Hideki Kamiya
But without the leaks how will I ever know the rage filled arguments of 8nm and 5nm chipsets?!?!
Re: Poll: So, What Did You Think Of The Switch 2 Reveal?
Was hoping it could at least list the specs.

Re: Anniversary: Resident Evil 4, One Of The Greatest Games Ever Made, Turns 20
One of my fav games ever. I beat it on the cube, the Wii, and the meta quest. Still need to do my 4 remake on ps4. Happy Birthday!!
Re: Random: Metroid Prime 4 'OG' Amazon Pre-Orders Are Being Cancelled
Mine got canceled. I was hoping it would last forever since I think it got discounted to like 45$ or something.
Re: House Of The Dead 2: Remake Blasts Onto Switch This Spring
