I got the Tomtoc case, and I can confirm that it works pretty great. You have to move the Switch 2 around a little to get it in just the right spot to close it, but other than that it's great.
I work as a graphic designer, and I can honestly say that only needing a month to create a logo this timeless and iconic is insane. We've had clients who took several months to land on a logo they like. Hats off to their design team.
For the love of all that is good, PLEASE being Star Fox Assault to NSO. That multiplayer was incredible. If that had online support, that would be reason alone to keep me forever subscribed to NSO.
I'm sorry, but these statements like "Nintendo isn't innovative enough" drive me up the wall. Like, are you serious? Nintendo is bridging the gap between console and PC gaming with mouse controls. They did gyro first, HD rumble first, mainline hybrid consoles first. The list goes on and on. In terms of innovative, Nintendo is MILES ahead of their competition. What did Sony and Xbox bring this generation? Better lighting and faster load times, and bunch of soulless sequels and live-service games? These kind of statements make me so mad. 😮💨 I'll get off my soap box.
@Khwarezm89 I'm still working through how much to add, but for my Nintendo Account, I have a credit card that gives me cash back on every purchase. One of the cash back options is to turn my points into Nintendo digital gift cards. That's what I've started doing.
I've started adding funds to my Nintendo and Steam accounts, and not spending more than I've allotted myself. It's helped me to really prioritize the purchase I actually want to make.
That launch was a horrendous. I was trying for 2 hours before everything sold out. I successfully ordered one from Target, but then immediately got a cancelation email from them. I kept trying at multiple retailers, but I didn't get one. :/

Re: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong
Then again, this is Nintendo we're talking about. They're pretty good at just sitting on finished games and releasing them when they want to.

I bought the Logitech C920x for $25 on eBay, and I have I plugged into my dock's USB-A port. It works flawlessly.

Re: Nintendo Supposedly Investigating Possible "Swollen Battery" Issue With Switch 2
There are millions of Switch 2s in the wild, there was bound to be one instance of a faulty battery. This seems like a non-issue.

Until Sony starts releasing games that I am even remotely interested in, my PS5 remains to be the most expensive Firestick I've ever bought.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Cases To Carry And Protect Your Console

Re: Poll: Switch 2 Battery Reportedly Lasting Under Two Hours With Mario Kart - How Is Yours Holding Up?

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
@GCBB I mean, I'm a working professional, so, umm, yeah, I have $70, but not for a game like this.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
@PikminMarioKirby Totally agree. I'm not willing to spend $70 on a game that looks like it could run on a GameCube, a Wii if I'm feeling generous.
Re: A Video Showing The Switch 2's Boot Screens Has Been Shared Online
Fear the ninjas.
Re: Nintendo Shares Video Detailing New N64 Features For Switch Online
Oh my gosh, FINALLY
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Kirby's Star Stacker (Game Boy)
Not a big fan of the grey on the Japanese box art. There isn't enough contrast between the pink and grey.
Re: Opinion: Not Enough People Are Talking About This Early GOTY Contender
I absolutely plan on picking this up once it goes on sale.
Re: The Iconic Pokémon Logo Took One Month To Create
I work as a graphic designer, and I can honestly say that only needing a month to create a logo this timeless and iconic is insane. We've had clients who took several months to land on a logo they like. Hats off to their design team.
Re: Video: Nintendo Gives Us A Closer Look At Switch 2's GameCube Controller
I really don't see why they couldn't have made an L button that was identical to the R button. I don't think anyone would have been mad about that.

Whoa... that UX... that was incredible.
Re: Japanese Charts: The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy Storms To The Top
I'm planning on picking up The Hundred Line, but I'm going to wait for a sale. With today's economy, I can't hardly ever buy games at full price.
Re: Video: 10 GameCube Games We Want On Switch 2's Online Expansion Pack
For the love of all that is good, PLEASE being Star Fox Assault to NSO. That multiplayer was incredible. If that had online support, that would be reason alone to keep me forever subscribed to NSO.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Mario Party 3
I was torn between U.S. and Japan, but I love how open the Japan box art looks and feels. I love the subtle nod of them being on a board.

Re: The Hundred Line's Script Is Long Enough To Print 60 Paperback Novels
I really do want to play this game, but spending full price on a game is a lot these days.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: 1080° Avalanche
Oh gosh, the Japanese cover is terrible. The only imagery on the case is a shot of a dude's butt. Who the heck green-lit this?
Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller
Please oh please, I hope they fixed that d-pad.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Manage To Get A Switch 2 Pre-Order In? (North America)
Buying a Switch 2 was an absolute cluster**** s***show of an experience. Thank goodness we only go through this living hell once every 8 years. 😮💨
Re: Switch 2 Launch Day Delivery "Not Guaranteed" From Nintendo In The US
@ear_wig The email said it was canceled due to a "technical issue"
Re: Switch 2 Launch Day Delivery "Not Guaranteed" From Nintendo In The US
That launch was a horrendous. I was trying for 2 hours before everything sold out. I successfully ordered one from Target, but then immediately got a cancelation email from them. I kept trying at multiple retailers, but I didn't get one. :/
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Is Confirmed As A Launch Title For Switch 2
@LavaTwilight I was about to ask the same thing. Do we know what happens if you already own the Switch 1 version?
Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Select Switch 2 Games Won't Support Cloud Saves
So, like, is Nintendo even ready for launch in a month?...
Re: Feature: The Switch 2 Sticks Might Not Be Hall Effect, But They Feel Fantastic
I'm sure it's great, but there is no way on this green earth that I'm going to spend $85 on a controller.
Re: Gallery: Fresh Mario Kart World Screenshots Give Us Our Closest Look Yet At The New Racers
@OldGamer999 For what it's worth, I didn't vote for the expensive orange.
Re: Gallery: Fresh Mario Kart World Screenshots Give Us Our Closest Look Yet At The New Racers
The game looks so much wackier than I thought it could ever be, and I am here for it 100%. Now here's hoping it even releases in the U.S. 😮💨
Re: Here's Why Switch 2 Joy-Con And Pro Controllers Don't Have Analogue Triggers
I don't really care about the triggers. For me, if they didn't fix that d-pad, then this thing ain't worth a dime.
Re: Nintendo Understands Switch Owners May Not Be "Ready To Jump To Switch 2"
