@rjejr Agreed. It’s a surprisingly decent value when you compare it to other portables like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally.
Yeah, you can get a base Steam Deck for $400. But the Switch 2 for $450 (given that price sticks in the US) is substantially more powerful with a higher resolution display, HDR compatibility, DLSS support, and everything you need to hook the system up to a TV or monitor INCLUDING a wireless controller.
Is it cheap? No. But is it a fair deal considering the tech and competition? I think so.
@sixrings I play mostly in docked mode so I’m in the same boat. The answer, unfortunately, is just “it is what it is”. They made the console to appeal to as many people as possible, and for those like us that are going to play in one mode mostly, we just have to deal with the higher price or not buy it. It sucks but at the end of the day not every product is catered to each individual.
I see a lot of comments arguing that the Switch 2 being around the price of a PS5 and Series X is outrageous, or in some cases, unlike Nintendo.
For reference, the PS4 was $300 in 2017, which is the same as the Switch’s launch price.
The PS3 was around $250 in 2012, while the Wii U launched for $300-$350 depending on the model. The PS4 launched for $400 the following year.
The XBOX 360 (core) was $300 at launch in 2005, and the Wii was $250.
Basically, Nintendo systems have usually been around the same ballpark in price as the competition. And since the DS/Wii era, Nintendo sacrifices power for a gimmick to justify the price. Motion controls, tablet controller, and now handheld play.
I’m not saying $450 is cheap, and I definitely wish it was cheaper. But it’s not a bad price, either. $80 for games, though… that’s another argument haha.
@Yoshi3 Agreed, if you’re not trying to 100% DK64 then I think it’s one of the better 3D platformers out there. Wish they’d throw it on the N64 app but I guess there’s always emu[redacted].
@GoldenSunRM Agreed. Age of Calamity is a solid game but a slap in the face as it was marketed as a prequel to BOTW. In reality, it was more of a “what-if” scenario which really upset me.
If this is truly canon as they’re saying, it’ll make me much more interested. I almost wish they would redo Age of Calamity and make it true to the lore.
I’ve heard people say the remake doesn’t look that much better but to me it’s night and day. It’s one of the prettiest games I’ve seen to this day and it’s also my favorite Zelda. Plus it has a lot of QoL improvements. I’d buy the remake on Switch in a heartbeat.
I’m not expecting it at this point… but I’d love it.
Gonna be real, the controls just don’t look fun and visuals look super bland. I’m sure it could be fun if you have a group of friends to play with and you’re all at a desk but I think just isn’t for me.
Glad you guys enjoyed it tho, hope it turns out well.
Still not buying. This is a tech demo you have to pay for. It’s an absolute joke that this costs any amount of money and shows how greedy Nintendo is with Switch 2 due to the success of Switch 1.
I know inflation and tariffs are a thing but holy cow, this is expensive for one game. Unless I go the digital route with the Mario Kart bundle ($50 there), then I’ll be waiting to pick this up discounted.
I don’t even buy current games for the usual $60/$70. I always wait or find deals and get them for $50 max, usually even cheaper. The Thousand Year Door was the one exception since I wanted to support OG Paper Mario.
Looks like Nintendo is getting a tad bit greedy due to their larger audience.
1. Pokémon Legends Z-A 2. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond 3. Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots
It’s about damn time someone finally made a normal 3-click golf game! They’ve been absent this entire generation cause every developer thinks they need to reinvent the wheel lol.
This was one of the only new games I cared about from the Direct this morning. I love old school, 3-click Mario Golf and I enjoyed the couple Hot Shots games I played. Looking forward to this despite the visuals looking very basic.
More power to the people excited for Tomodochi Life, but I thought this was hands down the worst Direct… maybe ever? The only “new” games I’m interested in are Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots and the Marvel arcade game… both of which are multi-platform lol.
I hope all the good stuff is coming next week cause this did nothing for me outside of seeing more pretty visuals for Metroid Prime 4.
For real, this is a beautiful story and message. Thanks for sharing and I can attest to most things said. I won’t go into detail but I went through a really rough patch for a few years. Now I’m about to be 28 and I’m the happiest I’ve been since high school. Things like time, faith, discipline, exercise, health, and changing things in my life really helped get me to where am at physically and mentally. I hope you keep killing it and everyone here does as well. Everyone deserves a happy and fun life.
That’s so young and I feel so sorry for his family, friends, and fans.
The end of the article mentions a suicide attempt. For anyone ever struggling, please remember that life is full of ups and downs. Life is always worth living and will always get better. Stay strong everyone.
Glad to see that it’s not only reviewing well, but also a big improvement over the Wii U version. I have way too many games in my backlog to consider picking this up at the moment, but maybe later this year I’ll snag it.
This couldn’t be more perfect. I legit just beat the Mario vs DK remake yesterday (including all the + worlds) and loved it. Guess I’ll start DK 94 soon. I remember playing it once a while back and liking it a lot.
My guess is they found a way to trick the system into thinking it’s running in “docked” mode to allow for 1080p output. If so, this could look great with the smaller display in terms of pixels-per-inch.
I thought it was pretty good for a Pokemon-only event. The new TCG Pocket expansion seems good, Champions seems promising, and I actually liked what I saw from ZA.
Since Super Rush was such a disappointment to me, I’d love to see Mario Golf World Tour come to the Switch and/or Switch 2. Having that in HD with seamless local multiplayer would be incredible.
It’ll never happen, but that’s my most wanted 3DS game remake/remaster.
Eh, I’m more than okay with the current NSO system. Outside of some missing titles, it’s very convenient and runs very well for my needs. I’ve had some great nostalgic throwback nights with family and friends with the N64 app.
The virtual console was cool but rebuying games on each system sucked and emulation wasn’t consistent between platforms. Subscription services like NSO aren’t perfect and I know Nintendo will do something to irritate me down the road (like remove a game I like), but for now, it’s great for my needs.
Edit: I agree with everyone saying Nintendo should allow us to both rent AND buy older games. Everyone wins in that scenario.
Mario Golf 64 and Toadstool Tour are my favorites. I love 3D arcade golf games and these were near perfect. The 3DS version is great too but is sadly trapped on a handheld. Super Rush, while not bad, was such a disappointment for me. I'm hoping the next Mario Golf title returns to the gameplay of the older titles.
Probably. I imagine they'll want to show off what to look forward to on Switch 1 before Switch 2 releases. The Switch 1 install base is so large that it just makes sense to keep supporting the console with ample games.
Kinda exactly what I expected. Just cards being the same rarity is the only real throw-off. I’m fine with it but that’s because I already have most of the cards and like slowly building up a collection. I can see why others would be annoyed by this.
@TomSupreme This is my guess too. They’re definitely taking their time and polishing it, but I’d assume they want the game newly released on the first day/month of the Switch 2. We’ll have to wait and see tho.
I’m obviously looking forward to the console but I thought the reveal was pretty mid. Even ignoring the leaks, there just wasn’t much here. A slightly redesigned Switch with basically no information other than 6 seconds of a new, vanilla looking Mario Kart.
While I’m looking forward to hearing more, I’m not “hyped” at all. I need to see how powerful the system is technically, more games, the draw to what makes this Mario Kart worthy of being a new entry, and hopefully some fun new hardware/software features for the Switch 2 itself.
I guess we’ll have to wait until April. Until then… looks fine, I guess lol.
Jeez. It’s one thing to not credit each person individually… but to not even mention the original development studio at all? Would it have killed them to say “based on Retro Studio’s game”?
Nintendo is using the work of hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people that put years of commitment and hard work to make the company money. The least Nintendo can do is say “thank you” to them.
The lack of respect from companies these days, man.
Man, the amount of games I’ve been buying has been dwindling over the past year or so. I think since I’ve been barely playing online multiplayer titles, I’ve been going through my backlog and realizing how content I am with my current game library.
All that is to say, DK Country Returns HD is something I might get down the road, but at the moment I have no plan to pick it up. I have it on the 3DS and loved it on that, so if I suddenly want to replay it soon I’ll either play that or maybe see if I can borrow my brother’s copy for the Switch.
Regardless, it’s a great game for anyone that hasn’t played it yet!
I remember hearing a year or so ago that the Wii guitar hero guitars are very pricey now on the used market. I think there are some PC guitar games that work well with it, making it the best one to get.
I’m just regurgitating what some guy told me at a game store a while back but if true, I imagine that’s why these are being made.
@mariomaster96 Agreed, it usually looks pretty good. There are some games with bad DLSS implementation (no sharpness adjustment and/or artifacting) but most titles I’ve played with it look good.
@StarPoint Agreed. I like that the game is being remastered but $60 is a little much for me, personally. I enjoyed the Luigi’s Mansion 2 remaster but in retrospect I don’t think I’d buy anymore 3DS ports for more than $40… unless it’s among my favorite “niche” titles like Mario Golf World Tour.
I expect zero Nintendo news and not much news from other publishers and developers.
I won’t be watching the show at all, never cared for it. I’ll just look up an article to see all the announcements and watch any trailers that interest me.
I’ve had this on my backlog for a while. Since I’ve stopped playing most live-service games I’ve been steaming through games, though. I’ll probably finally play this during the winter.
That said, I’m guessing this is a sign that a sequel/successor is far in development and they wanted to bring some of the easy-to-implement features over to the original. Just a guess, but very cool and I’m excited to finally play it.
The status of this game needs to be changed from "upcoming" to released. I cannot add the game to my collection and no one will ever be able to review it
I loved the game and it’s probably my game of the year, but I also have nostalgia from playing the game back in the day.
Should be noted that despite the Switch version outselling the GameCube original, the ratio of software to console sales is still way better on the GameCube. Basically, the GameCube version has a way higher software attachment rate. There was a higher percent of GameCube owners who bought the original than the percent of Switch owners who bought the remake.
All this is to not underplay the sales. Approximately 2 million is nothing to scuff at… it’s just a little underwhelming given the hype I saw for it online. I’m hoping the next new entry plays like an improved version of the N64/TTYD games rather than something completely different.

Re: Talking Point: How Does Switch 2's Launch Price Compare To Past Nintendo Systems?
@rjejr Agreed. It’s a surprisingly decent value when you compare it to other portables like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally.
Yeah, you can get a base Steam Deck for $400. But the Switch 2 for $450 (given that price sticks in the US) is substantially more powerful with a higher resolution display, HDR compatibility, DLSS support, and everything you need to hook the system up to a TV or monitor INCLUDING a wireless controller.
Is it cheap? No. But is it a fair deal considering the tech and competition? I think so.
Re: Talking Point: How Does Switch 2's Launch Price Compare To Past Nintendo Systems?
@sixrings I play mostly in docked mode so I’m in the same boat. The answer, unfortunately, is just “it is what it is”. They made the console to appeal to as many people as possible, and for those like us that are going to play in one mode mostly, we just have to deal with the higher price or not buy it. It sucks but at the end of the day not every product is catered to each individual.
Re: Talking Point: How Does Switch 2's Launch Price Compare To Past Nintendo Systems?
I see a lot of comments arguing that the Switch 2 being around the price of a PS5 and Series X is outrageous, or in some cases, unlike Nintendo.
For reference, the PS4 was $300 in 2017, which is the same as the Switch’s launch price.
The PS3 was around $250 in 2012, while the Wii U launched for $300-$350 depending on the model. The PS4 launched for $400 the following year.
The XBOX 360 (core) was $300 at launch in 2005, and the Wii was $250.
Basically, Nintendo systems have usually been around the same ballpark in price as the competition. And since the DS/Wii era, Nintendo sacrifices power for a gimmick to justify the price. Motion controls, tablet controller, and now handheld play.
I’m not saying $450 is cheap, and I definitely wish it was cheaper. But it’s not a bad price, either. $80 for games, though… that’s another argument haha.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Donkey Kong Bananza Are In

Re: Nintendo: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Is A "Canonical Tale"
@GoldenSunRM Agreed. Age of Calamity is a solid game but a slap in the face as it was marketed as a prequel to BOTW. In reality, it was more of a “what-if” scenario which really upset me.
If this is truly canon as they’re saying, it’ll make me much more interested. I almost wish they would redo Age of Calamity and make it true to the lore.
Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?

Re: Hands On: 'Drag x Drive' Is Fantastic, But Is It Destined To Be Switch 2's ARMS?
Gonna be real, the controls just don’t look fun and visuals look super bland. I’m sure it could be fun if you have a group of friends to play with and you’re all at a desk but I think just isn’t for me.

Re: "Don't Let Nintendo Ruin The Entire Industry" - Is $80 For Mario Kart World A Bridge Too Far?
Yes, it’s too far, at least for me. I was expecting $70, but $80 is too high and sets a precedence for future Nintendo games and other companies.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
It says I already voted but I didn’t… did you put the poll from the last direct here by accident?
Anyways, probably a 9/10 for me. Not perfect as I would’ve preferred another major game reveal or two… but it was damn good. Looking forward to June!
EDIT: Fixed now. Could’ve been cookies, cache, or something on my end.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
