@MTMike87 Exactly. I've never scalped before... but I understand the eBay gents who do it. They move fast, get the consoles first, and sell them to the rich and lazy.
What I don't like are scalping companies. You know, the ones that have Amazon "refurbished" listings $100 above sticker price.
And don't get me started on the Alogrithms built to purchase new consoles and games within milliseconds.
That is unfair. That turns consumer products into b2b transactions at the expense of the consumer.
But guys who buy 3 Switch 2's and sell them on eBay to Elon Musk or whatever? Go for it.
Are Switch 1 pro controllers compatible with Switch 2?
Will the DLC included in several Switch 1 upgrades, like kirby and the forgotten land, be available for standalone purchase on Switch 1?
Will the Switch 2 voicechat features work in handheld mode, sans camera?
Will there be marginal performance upgrades across all standard switch 1 games? (For example, will load time for the Witcher 3 Switch Edition be quicker on Switch 2)
@Indielink Speaking personally, there's a difference between hardware specs and patents vs official console designs.
I remember those days. Learning about the hardware specs and the "switch n' go" patents felt like pieces of a puzzle that all came together for the console reveal.
For Switch 2, we know all of that PLUS official dimensions of the console leaked from manufacturers and 3D printed from accessory companies.
Tears of the kingdom was great, but I couldn't get into the creation aspect of it (the core mechanic that makes that game different from the original).
Bethesda put out an open invitation for the volition team to interview with them, if more layoffs happen at Crystal Dynamics, MS should DEFINITELY hire those guys.
This studio is on par with the very best in the industry in terms talent.
I love to see this, but I need help understanding monolith for a minute. Do these guys make the majority of their profit as a support studio, or do they come from the xenoblade games?
@Bunkerneath Don't get me wrong, their 2021 fall lineup doesn't seem as high budget as other years. They're still releasing Wario Ware next week, Metroid and Mario Party in October, Advance Wars remaster, Big Brain Academy, and Diamond and Pearl remasters all in 2021 -
With Legends Arceus and Splatoon 3 early next year too. That is not 2015 Wii U output. It's just not.
@Snatcher if this is about Metroid Dread, I have preordered the collectorâs edition!
Conversely, I will not be buying SS HD. Iâm not seeing enough improvements to justify buying a copy. I enjoyed it on Wii, but not enough to buy it a second time
@sketchturner It's fun, but straight forward. There aren't any additional modes, Scoreboards or incentives to keep the player coming back besides local and online free-for-all.
I bought it on day one and had a blast with it over that weekend, but haven't touched it since.
I love roguelikes, but I've always been a little confused by this series. This looks like a sequel, but what about the others? Are rebirth and afterbirth remakes of the original, and if that's the case then which one should I play to get ready for repentence?
@Yanina Lol Too bold, apparently. The only company of the big three that's actually forthcoming is Microsoft/XBox (which is super ironic since they typically release the least games)
@Grayson_ I read your comment as soon as I posted mine lol. You're so right though! Getting hyped is why we're on Nintendolife. Nothing wrong with hoping for the best!
Nintendo has given less and less reveals to the game awards each year. I'm expecting them to announce a something like a free update to Clubhouse Games: 51 classics that'll add a new card game
@nhSnork Didnât Natsume royally screw over the original Harvest Moon developers? I thought thatâs why they split and started calling the franchise story of seasons. In which case, yeah, Natsume can shove it!
That was âfriend of a friendâ gossip though, I could be totally wrong. If I am, I hope Natsume does very well and doesnât take/shove anything.

What else is there to reveal? The C button??
Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Will Reportedly Be Officially Revealed This Thursday
Nintendo also waited an exceptionally long time to announce the switch. The difference? The Switch hadn't been shamelessly leaked 50 times over.
I'm still excited though!

Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?

Re: Nintendo Kicks Off 5-Day Holiday Event, With Indie Game News And Switch eShop Shadow Drops

All they had to do was shove this into their PokĂ©mon presentation last week and weâd all be happy.
I get that they probably had a deal with tencent to have an exclusive announcement of some sort, but come on guys!
At least air this presentation BEFORE you announce Pokémon Snap 2!!
