Like everyone here, I love a good direct. Saying that, patience is key. We've only got a brand new console, with a new Mario Kart, Donkey Kong out this week and a wealth of backwards compatibility games to test out. We don't need a brand new game out every month or couple of weeks. I'd rather have quality games that aren't rushed out for the sake of it, release. It's a load of nonsense predicting a direct every week of a month. Take a chill pill or more importantly, play a game from the increasing backlog of many great titles available. Hope you all are having a great day
Opinions are opinions and each to their own. I wouldnt be tearing down a controller in the first place. Switch pro controller lasted me 8 years and switch 2 pro controller is top notch. Headphones jack for monitor usage is a massive highlight.
About 25 hours in, with a mixture knockout tour and grand prix. I'd give it a 8 currently. DLC will happen in the future and could easily rise to a 9, if the tracks or island are fully fleshed out. Knockout tour is the best addition to a MK title in years and online is pure chaos.
These game key cards really annoy people. Honestly won't effect myself one bit as I've gone full digital these days. Just buy the games I want to play, then move onto the next game. In the past was collecting cases for display purposes but never played many of these titles. I actually sold alot of these games and currently off loading to put towards a Switch 2. You don't need every game and just do you. Be happy gaming at your own pace and never be pressured into buying something you won't get use out of. Good vibes to everyone
Totally agree with Dread in a dark room and headphones. I'm after starting to play Monster Hunter Rise, in tabletop with a pro controller on the OLED and really enjoying this way to play.
My OG Switch has served me well. Upgraded today for the OLED model and it was worth it. Screen is amazing and only going to hook it up to the TV for multilayer purposes. Redownloading all my games at the moment and a busy night ahead with Metroid Dread
Like many others here, I'd like to see a 1080p screen on the handheld and slimmer bezels. I love the size of the switch lite and hope its a similar size to that model.
If the pro version is real, I would like to see 1440p with HDR support for docked and 1080p undocked, Bluetooth for audio and a ethernet port on the dock.
I waited in the rain for the midnight launch of the Switch. It's been my favourite time as a gamer because I've been with the console since day one. I'm 33 years old and never owned a console from day one due to financial difficulties in the past but I took the time to save and make some hard choices of selling other devices. I've been on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and family bereavements over the last two years but the Switch has help put a smile on my face due to the library of amazing games. By the end of this year, I know i can safely say that the Nintendo Switch will be my favourite console of all time. Happy Birthday you wonderful console, thanks for the memories so far
Going to have to say I disagree with the comments saying that they would only like to play the same mode. Yes I understand that you want a certain mode the whole time but wouldn't that get boring fairly quickly? I personally would love just a random mode and a random map. It keeps you on your toes and expect the unexpected. They could also introduce competitive turf wars to the ranked mode and introduce a option for a friendly tower control, splat zones and rainmaker mode as more options for the player.
@bluedogrulez while playing, just have a vertical or horizontal split on your tv and each person could super jump if needed on separate gamepads. Plus each person could use motion controls!
Holy poopitypooppoop!!! Will Nintendo use their heads and create an option for Splatoon for two players to play online together on the couch? That would be an awesome feature:) Ill pick a spare gamepad in the future cause I love the Wii U and plan 2 use it for a long time 2 come:)
Mario Tennis has always been a fun local-multiplayer experience for me in the past. I will pick this title up at some point over the next few months but the retail price in Ireland is €50! I want to invest time with this title with my friends as they have included a normal mode, which pretty much had me sold but for that price, just not yet!

Re: Poll: How Are Your Download Speeds On Switch 2?
Have the monitor set up with a wired connection for the dock. Downloads ain't my worries and can wait a couple of minutes to try new games out.
