BTB20

@WheresWaveRace NeoGeo in part failed because of those prices.

@Jemae Those 300k Switches sold at launch reported by Famitsu did not include the my Nintendo store, as Famitsu can't get data from there. This here is still much bigger.

@MTMike87 This number specifically is not to be expected. It's far bigger than Nintendo expected.

What a relief.

With Wind Waker I'd also like Twilight Princess on there. And Super Mario Sunshine.

@rjejr I got that Dread 2 pack for 30€ years ago. You got an absolute steal of a deal.

@SillyG They won't release DK Bananza and a new 3D Mario only a few months appart. Next year is my guess.

@Kiyata The retailer said that 80% of the cards purchased were single cards and not in bulk.

@ZeldaCupcake If you read the article, you'll see that the rumour is that it'll be on PS5 day one. And it's existence is not just a rumour anymore with the screenshots from the devs website.

Here you can see how games fare with backwards compatibility so far. Most games are still being tested, have not shown any issues so far though.

@Anti-Matter No it's not worse. By far most games already work just fine per Nintendo's website and all first party games except for Labo VR work on Switch 2. Only a tiny portion of over 15000 games still has notable issues to be addressed.

@dew12333 You use two mice with your PC?

@Friendly Neither Elden Ring nor Baldur's Gate 3 are something completely new. Elden Ring has Dark Souls like combat and gameplay in an open world where you can go wherever you want from the start (like in BotW) and Baldur's Gate 3 is just what the first two games did but much better. Your decisions influence your adventure significantly more but the concept and idea is the same.

@Oracles_fanboi What?

@Spider-Kev Did you just call BotW a glorified tech demo?

This seriously lacks personality. Why is everything grey?

@Lord You don't actually believe this is going to be $80 do you? Obviously it's not going to be that expensive.

@LXP8 In the app it literally can't be missed. Third from the top.

@LXP8 No they did not get rid of Sega Megadrive games. That wouldn't even make sense. They just added three games. The current NSO app doesn't have Sega with it's gallery listed in that section either.

@N00BiSH I always had fun with it. Never really felt tedious or anything as I already loved just sailing from island to island and it gave me more reason to explore.

@the_beaver Professor Layton - delayed

Why is the first Sonic still not on there?

@Bushi @Stwert I'm talking about Nintendo games. Their first party games are all on cartridge. Game key cards are a significantly better alternative to a code in a box at least.

@Strumpan Mario Party is not old. Not even a year old.

@Bushi You've fallen for a lot of misinformation. Not a single game is $90, only one game is $80 and so far all Switch 2 games that were announced are fully on cartridge including the Switch 2 Editions of Switch 1 games.

@RupeeClock I've read that Nintendo only provides 8GB and 64GB cartridges so that they can lower the prices quicker by not having that many different sizes available. 8GB is for indies and 64GB for AAA games. Everyone else in between will choose game key cards to be able to either sell it for a lower price like Bravely Default or just to be cheap. If there was a 16GB card, they'd take that one.

I think that's like the main reason why it became so successful.

Yeah well, I can't afford it. I almost never bought games for 60€ even. Always wait for a sale or some other way to get it cheaper.

I did get an invite. But I 'm broke.

@Lizuka DK Bananza is a 3D platformer, not a beat-em-up.

@hbkay It's not boring in any capacity as it's not just repeating the same over and over again.

@Poco_Lypso He's saying they are still supporting it, still making games for it, not abandoning it. Also if you were able to afford a Switch 2 for 350$ or whatever, 450 should just need some saving up. The console itself is priced reasonably. Don't buy Mario Kart if you want to boycott something that's overpriced.

@UnbreakableAlex The only problem I see us the price of some games. Everything else is working out great. I really don't understand how you could think that this is in any way comparable to the PS3 or even the XOne.

@Mythra 146 million was in the three day weekend but over it's whole five day opening it made 204 million dollars domestically.

@Anti-Matter This is categorically false. Even long after game purchases are shut down, downloads and redownloads are still very much possible on old Nintendo console eshops.

@Pat_trick The Switch didn't loose third party support. What are you talking about? Also the Switch 2 version is significantly upgraded, not compromised compared to the PS4 version. Higher resolution and higher framerate plus the expansion and later updates that the PS4 never got.

@batmanbud2 Only after an update though, but yeah, they should be considering this.

@Largren Yes, docked supports 1080p/120fps.

@Bobobiwan BotW and TotK do get some additional content through that phone app, but just not that much. Those two are so far the only ones confirmed for NSO+. That's why they aren't completely free to upgrade like other games.

@DonJorginho For Kirby and Mario Party it's basically a pretty normal $20 DLC that's Switch 2 exclusive.
Older games like BotW should have gotten permanent price cuts at this point though, but I imagine, even if they did do permanent price cuts very big sellers like BotW and Mario Kart would simply be excluded. It does suck.

@HammerGalladeBro Yes, pretty meaty DLC.

@IronMan30 In this case it's not particularly meaningful as it's expected to happen. The game was first announced for Switch and PC and is a sequel to a game that was Switch exclusive and is still only on Switch and PC. Also it's developed and published by Marvelous, who release all of their games day one on Switch, many of them exclusive or timed exclusive.

@Max_the_German Thanks, that's crazy and sucks.
@MysteriousMudkip Yeah I saw all the prices now. 90€ and $80 for Mario Kart. Digital is cheaper at least but 80€ for digital is still to much.

@Justifier The upgrades that cost money also include additional content like full DLC expansions. For BotW and TotK they're 10€ to upgrade and 20€ for Kirby and Mario Party.

I was gonna buy a Switch 2 for Christmas. Not anymore. Gonna keep waiting.

@Max_the_German Where did you see 90€? Do you have a link? That'd be unacceptable.

@JimNorman Typo at the end. The game launches on July 17th, not 7th.

@Matt-e-r Why did you not bother even reading the first paragraph? Right at the start it says: "Marvelous has shown off more footage of Titanic Scion, a new entry in the Daemon X Machina series, during today's Nintendo Direct."
And at the bottom of the article the first game's review is linked.
