Re: More Switch 2 Estimated File Sizes Seemingly Revealed

Alcea

Digital goes choo choo.

Guess we can say goodbye to physical
"Please insert cart 2"
Lol

@Abrammchi
Good idea.

But SquareEnix and Capcom don't think.
"Oh it didn't sell ?
Let's stop supporting Nintendo"

instead of

"Oh it didn't sell ?
People want actual hardcoopies ? Sure"

Re: eBay Is Already Flooded With Switch 2 Pre-Orders At Ridiculous Prices

@Haruki_NLI
"is that it's cheapest at launch nowadays, and only gets more expensive."

Which is the sole reason to buy as soon as (affordably) possible.

World is in a weird place

@WheresWaveRace
eBay could.
They actually prohibit selling goods you do not yet have - availabale physically - in their TOS,
yet still allow those listings.

Hypocrits.

Always everything is about money.

You are not arguing with reasonable people .

Re: Switch 2 Game-Key Cards Won't Make It Easy For Physical Collectors In Japan

Alcea

Well.
The Switch2 will be my last then

@sanderev
Why are we defending scummy companies ?
You are getting LESS for MORE.

Customers are sheep.

@ottoecamn
Why would they be ?
Unless customers don't buy a single copy until they do Nintendo might aswell start selling GameKeyCards only now.

We are cooked

@Anti-Matter
Good Luck

@Zeebor15
No.
The reason is we only have:
8 gb
64gb
GKC.
You should know better Rotor...

@Gorlock
True.
But I recently got into AudioCD collecting, so I'm not the right person for that conversation.
The walls look nicer with CD Jewelcases attached to them.
Pretty 😺

As for Switch games. I always only keep the gamecard and paperinlay.
The cards are so easy to stash its insane 😊

Re: Opinion: Steam Deck Fans Are Seriously Underestimating The Switch 2

Alcea

I've had a Deck for over. a year now.
Had fun setting it up, getting KingdomHearts and FFVIIR aswell as FFVIIRebirth and FFXIII for it ..

..
And then I let it collect dust.
It's nice.
But its not a Switch

There is so much to do to make games run.
Its annyoing

Also ApexLegends left the "DeckVerified" tier.
It's a joke. Devs treat it like garbage

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT
I think Duskblood already roasted some ppl.
I'll get it on launch.

@SirAileron
NSO ?
It allows SaveCloud.

The best feature Nintendo has.
And ever had.
Worth the subscription alone !

@Pigeon
I thought that too..
And I barely use it...
Lol

GameKeyCards will make sure it will be worse this year

Sigh

@Gorlock
Missing the point entirely.
Try 2MBit wifi for a week.
Good Luck downloading AnYtHing

10 years?
Where are the servers.
Thats quite the shortsightedness.

I do agree with "swapping games sucks" notion tho.
I buy games I know for sure I'll play alot twice (digital&physical) cause I hate cart swapping)

Re: Japanese Retailer Is Asking The Public How To Combat Switch 2 Scalpers

Alcea

Force Creditcard / Sepa payment upfront
Also ask for a fingerprint.
Put both in a database.

If a new purchase is made, check with database b4 selling

Not foolproof.
But Scoundrels have many friends

@Princess_Lilly

You can't even enforce one/customer easily
This problem is a human one

@AllBLK
You think most people on earth adhere to common sense
Spongebob I need it now meme

Ofc not.
Ppl lack self control.

Re: Mario Kart World Players Are Already Uncovering Hidden Vehicles

Alcea

Welp guess this game and GTAVI will dominate the charts for the next 15 years.

Maybe I need to buy it at launch after all...
I only planned on getting a Switch2 Base and nothing else...

@Stwert
Still I'm glad.
Nintendo was the only company to make me look forward to their products the last 25 years.

I'd not know what to play if not for them.
Probably I'd play Solitaire on Computer all day lol

Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host

Alcea

@RupeeClock
No not really:
Minimum: 8gig
Max:64 gig

Nothing inbetween
Can you see why we will get ALOT game key cards

PS:
Bravely Def Remaster is 11 gig

If we could "Local-User-Match" the gamecart data like updates it'd be less terrible when server shutdown.
The only thing a Nintendo Rep told me was

"Thank you for your interest in the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Game Key Cards. While we understand your enthusiasm, at this point we cannot provide you with any other details than what can already be found on the official Nintendo website."

Grreat.

@Zadaris
But the past is not locked to console and requiring serverbased online auth.

Re: Community: What Questions About Switch 2 Do You Still Have For Nintendo?

Alcea

If downloads initiated via game-key-carts can be "local user match" ed to nearby switches (who have the game key cart in aswell)

They will only start with inserted key card anyways,
but buying multi game cards and syncing from Switch2 #1 to #2 will be faster on my trash wifi
(I know what I talk about, I just synced the entire recent Apex 25 gig update from Switch2Switch in 10 hours less thsn another download)

Oh and something something preserve after eShop closure

Re: Switch 2 Game Cart Max Capacity Is 64GB, Says CD Projekt Red

Alcea

@cylemmulo
No There is not a single 64 gig switch cart game iirc.

Oh great.
64. By Switch 3 we'll have 128. Revolutionary.

Get ready for all third publisher to give us game key carts only from now one

If the download was at least a LocalUserMatchupAble Update and not DLC esque download.

But like things are now we are buying ewaste
