@fabiop You can have a main Switch system and one more Switch system to trade Virtual Game Cards between. You need to set it up in your account settings which one is the main device (likely your Switch 2), and then make sure the other Switch is Pass Enabled
However you have to stick to those two chosen consoles for at least a year, because the Pass Enabled console can only be changed once annually.
@Flapflop No. The destruction particles cannot be done on Switch 1 well. The game requires fast swapping the more advanced memory and the beefier CPU to calculate all the random physics stuff happening.
@TwinFami If you are in Lanayru region, that is by design. A large chunk of the area is under heavy rain until a certain quest is completed; and the downpour activates the moment you step into that part of the map; it is like a curse
@SpinEnDash To be fair, the students didn’t have the ticket they were given at the beginning of the year anyway. So it was all a crapshoot after that. Nelson just took over and threw them out into the crowd.
@Ramouz Funny you say that when lots of Switch owners play third party games too (I personally would rather play my games on my Switch than my PS5 or 3080ti PC). You are underestimating the power of handheld appeal for any game, and the flexibility of Switch’s form factor in general.
@Axecon The new standard will be $80, $90, $100 (GTA). The production costs of these games are getting too big, when you can make something much quicker for mobile and likely rake in more.
@blindsquirrel The in between areas are to give you a place to practice moves and riskier driving before a real ranked match happens again. Besides you can still vie to win the in between races too— stick it to the second place rival that’s constantly on your tail from the real races.
More importantly, the in between areas really serve Knockout mode and give the whole thing an Outrun feel, and, like that series, it helps to gradually blend in new environments as you near new biomes and vistas
@SillyG That’s kinda what Lightning Bolt already accomplishes. Everyone else’s game becomes less fun for several seconds.
@Dinglehopper You can still probably race those back to back in VS / Quick Play mode
@GinMiguel What? Goombas have been a mainstay of the series since Super Mario Bros., and you don’t think they deserve to be playable? How can you not love that little Oscar-the-Grouch face?
@kuu_nousee How much is a movie ticket these days and how much value is derived from it. Mario Kart will easily give most players 10x that value. How is $80 not justified based on the value of the total package? We will be playing this for years
@Ulysses Yeah, I’d rather have localized damage to limbs and weak spots; like if you could use a cool down power to specifically aim your weapon or magic to stun or stagger or topple (and of course enemies can try to do this to you too), but they can also fake you out and make you miss. Let’s bring back Bushido Blade mechanics
@gsilver I guess the new inventory system will help you then.
@Jam777 I collect a ton of Amiibo too but I also own the third party (bootleg) Amiibo mini cards; that way I can enjoy scanning for items but leave the Amiibo in their display boxes.
@Wisestfool The SF6 figures are very detailed: take a look at the complexity of their worn ‘fabric’
@Scarmucci How did the Sages abilities suck? You could have them all active in your party, and one of them essentially gives you infinitely replaceable weapons.
@dew12333 GTA 6 will very likely be at least $100. Something had to give: games can’t just grow more wildly ambitious and beautiful without an expected counter force to still make the bottom line. It’s the number one dilemma with modern AAA production

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Donkey Kong Bananza For Switch 2?
Yes. Only because I had a Best Buy certificate to use and Metroid Prime 4 doesn’t even have a release date yet.
I’m still very concerned about how fast the destruction mechanics in this game will get stale.

@RadioHedgeFund This is actually only half true; in the outer edges of the map, or in the caves and underground, they do not hand-hold the player.
