Well, my PS5 machine is Fat model and can read ALL region games. My PS5 machine is my number 1 console from all my video game machines (Nintendo & PlayStation) I have.
@RobertCorwen
It's simple.
I refuse to support game key card.
Gimme proper physical cartridge for Switch 2 or I will choose PS5 version instead.
I have rights to speak out my choice.
I'm not drinking kool aid and delusioning how wonderful the game key cards.
The USA version cover design was like American people were not ready to accept anime looking character during that time so the generic design being made to appeal American people taste.
@jsty3105 And that's why I felt irritated. When I saw a lot of 3rd party games on Switch 2 got game key card, it turned me off. I don't want to support that practice. I want a legit game card purchase, not an empty cartridge that I have to download and use internet connection to activate the games. Some people don't care with game key card, but I really refuse to support that practice. It gave me very limited choice for the 3rd party games with game card I can pick. If I don't have that much choice to play 3rd party games in game card, why should I feel happy with Switch 2 situation? I'm not drinking kool aid and pretending how wonderful is Switch 2 when I literally see the flaws like that. I didn't say I hate Switch 2. I still give one more chance for Switch 2 by providing more 3rd party games in game card since I prefer getting more 3rd party games than 1st party games. I still have some interest with 1st party games like Mario, ACNH, ARMS, but my interest level with 3rd party games is way bigger than 1st party games.
@AccessibleDaydream But I heard PS Portal was like Wii U gamepad with limited radius to play. The PS5 machine still have to be turned on to play PS Portal and required constant internet connection to play. Also, I played my PS5 games with physical disc so I don't think PS Portal will appeal me with non physical games option and requiring internet connection for Offline games.
@Olliemar28
That's because Switch 2 great sales also built from game key card issue for almost their 3rd party games.
And it made people will keep purchase the game key card, it was irritating me as physical games collector because I couldn't even get proper physical games for 3rd party Switch 2 games and it forced me to consider the PS5 version instead for having fully physical games on disc.
I really depended on 3rd party games, not by 1st party games since I grew up by 3rd party kids games so i was expecting the kids games I want get proper treatment for their physical games especially for the genre I have the most interest like Story of Seasons, Fantasy Life (Thank goodness, their games are in game card, but still gave me limited option to buy from Switch 2).
I don't feel overhyped by typical 1st party games like Mario, Kirby, Zelda, etc since I didn't grow up by them so I have less priority with them.
So, to see Switch 2 sales built with the flaws, it made me think the situation was unfair when I compared with PS5 that can delivered the kids games in stable smooth 60 fps like Bluey, Barbie, etc with their non portability and made me liking more PS5 than Switch 2. Some people like Nintendo gamers don't really care with 60 fps but I do care, it's really serious matter for me. Some people liking portability but I prefer non portability for certain machines for some reason when the portability like Switch 1 & 2 really disappointing me from their 3rd party games performance.
That's why I still being cranky with Switch 2 situation, started from their introduction of game key card, the Nickel and dime of every nook and cranny, the battery life issue, the unappealing starter color machine (Black is not my favorite color for video games), it turned my curiosity of Switch 2 suddenly became disappointment.
It still hurt my feelings.
@Wood_Stick Oh, here is the thing. I only play 3rd party kids games on my PS5 by 99% such as Bluey, Barbie, Paw Patrol, Fantasy Life, Hello Kitty, etc. I still got a lot of choice of kids games for PS5, I mean too many of them. Hey, I'm different audience here. I buy PS5 just for playing 3rd party kids games, don't even like nor even care AAA adult games.
It's look cute, but limited by 3 characters and Mario franchise theme. Kids can be introduced by more theme of blocks, not just merely by Mario franchise only.
I just think Switch 2 great sales was built from brand / blind loyalty, not by common sense. Game key card is NOT the thing to celebrate from Switch 2.
What is the point to see Switch 2 success that built from trash treatment for 3rd party games with game key card option that can be abused by greedy games companies like EA, Ubisoft, etc to cheap out?
I would rather defending PS5 despite of lower sales but offering more physical games in disc for 3rd party games. I'm here talking about 3rd party kids games, not the AAA games for adults.
Also, I will not call Switch 2 great sales as a success. It was an unfair situation in my opinion.
Even if someday I will get Switch 2 machine, I will not consider Switch 2 as a REALLY REALLY THE BEST OF ALL machine in the world. It just an overrated machine that being overhyped by popularity. You know that I couldn't care less with popularity and would rather defending the underrated like PS5.
@StewdaMegaManNerd I don't even like punch out games. It just peek a boo style boxing game. I want something like K-1 with cartoonish looking characters.
@vio I need two Switch machines to do items exchange when I played ACNH. I have planned getting two copies of ACNH, two different Switch machines (Switch 1 & Switch 2) and make 2nd island with different accounts.
Ah... Nope. I still have my OG Switch V1 bought since 2017. Even if someday I will get Switch 2 , I still keep my Switch V1 to have item exchange when I play ACNH on both Switch 1 & 2 with different accounts each other.
I don't think Switch 2 deserve for big sales when their 3rd party games are mostly sold in game key card. This is not something I will celebrate from Switch 2. The machine power is great, but the price and the game key card are not. Do I happy to see big sales from Switch 2? NO. That's because the big sales from Switch 2 built from blind / brand loyalty, not by common sense. But will I still want to get Switch 2 someday? Yes, but if only there is White bundle and new Animal Crossing for Switch 2 then I will be less cranky with Switch 2. Will I keep call Switch 2 as the best machine? Definitely NO. I still consider PS5 is better than Switch 2.
@The_Top_Loader
My PS4 & PS5 games collection are 99% kids games with game data inside the disc since I saw the installation process from disc and most of my kids games are between 5 - 10 GB.
Even I have some of PS4 & PS5 kids games with size under 1 GB like BLUEY, Untitled Goose Game, DreamWorks Dragons, etc and they have game data inside.
I also have Spyro Trilogy PS4 the 2019 version which contain ALL three Spyro games inside the disc with size 36.24 GB after installation.
Indeed. My Animal Crossing New Horizons gameplay is already more than 1,150 hours and still keep playing the game until today. ARMS should be in that list. People need more love with Boxing sport.
@PeterTomlan86 The first Mario movie was great in my opinion. Shingleru Miyamoto supervised his Mario movie so it will not have the minion things in Mario movie.
@CaleBoi25 WICKED Part 1 will be aired again at your local cinema from 14 - 20 November 2025. My country Indonesia also will get aired the part 1 started from 14 November 2025 before the part 2 on 19 November 2025.
