Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I may as well ask: considering the Switch 2 uses magnets, are there any precautions that need to be taken when taking it on a plane trip? (For example, bringing it back home after buying it abroad?)

@RupeeClock I'm just waiting for the Switch 2 port and cross-save impementation to move it from my Series S.

I don't know how many people genuinely thought you would be charged a fee just for pressing the button unsubscribed. Hopefully very few.

@Artonide Kind of agree, but if they actually went out and said it was partially you-know-who's fault, they would attract some VERY unwanted attention from certain unpleasant people, including those in the government.

I kind of want to know what other Switch 1 games are getting free performance patches beyond those listed on that one page.

@TheMainMii Yeah, that's actually fair.

@TheMainMii What is the problem with the game key carts? You think there will be no real physical versions? It has already been stated this won't be the case. The game key carts will be an option, not a replacement for most games (although it seems some third-party releases will follow this route).

It's disheartening to see how many people still think all physical Switch 2 games are the key-card digital version. It's like they didn't even read the article and just came here to spread misinformation.

Hal being involved certainly removes weight from any exaggerated concerns that Sakurai wouldn't include any elements from the Kirby franchise that were introduced after Super Star.

Hopefully this means bluetooth headphones will work as intended, with no notable latency.

Aside from the inconvenience of having to walk to the console to turn it on, I appreciate having one less expense. Hopefully my pro controller will still last a good while.

@N00BiSH Sour grapes can be a strong influence on opinion (as understandable as it may be).

@Joeynator3000 You must think you're so funny.

The OT games are some of my favorite games I've played on the Switch generation (the sequel especially), and even though I already own both digitally, it's definitely tempting to get a physical copy for posterity. Maybe when it's on sale.

The possibility of the TTYD remake running at 60ps like the original on the Switch 2 is the only reason why I'm still waiting to get it. (If it's not the case, I'll get it anyway.)

@PikminMarioKirby It's literally a teaser with less than 2 minutes of footage from a game that is still in development and not coming out until next year. I don't care about the game itself, but come on.

You might want to fix that subtitle, or else people might think the vouchers won't work at all on the hardware, rather than just being limited to Switch 1 games.

@scoot Sorry, but do you have a source for this?

Never say never; nobody knows what the future holds.
But yeah, it was a pretty good finale.

It's really nice when a series is available in its entirety on the same console, and this is no exception.
...Unless you count Xenosaga and Xenogears as part of the whole thing.

That video could have used more Octopath Traveler.

@Shepdawg1 I wonder if they'll keep doing this particular gag since the Castlevania DLC added quite a few of them (though we are yet to find THE vampire from the title screen).

Anyway, if the game gets a proper Switch 2 version and crossplay works as intended, I'll probably double-dip so my file isn't stuck on my Series S.

@Wisestfool I don't get it.

Hey, Wonder's finally on sale.

@slowpoke_tail Nintendo games only tend to go on digital sale around one year and a half/two years after release, so it's still a bit early for TTYD.

@sanderev I mean, they did the exactly same thing with their previous game (It Takes Two), and that came out for the Switch.

This might be part of the reason why the marketing for Pokémon is often so divorced from general Nintendo marketing nowadays.

This is a case where neither cover is bad, but one is definitely more appropriate for the game.

@Lxlxrxzx You're being overdramatic.

@Erigen Considering the issues they had when scaling things up the way they did in Scarlet/Violet, it's probably a good thing that they're scaling it down for a more polished experience.

It honestly feels like there are at least a dozen people who have never commented before who have shown up to these articles just to bash the announcements.

@PikminMarioKirby You make the games sound much worse than they actually are.

I don't regret getting my Series S when I did, but I probably won't go with Xbox the next time I'm able to afford a console beside the latest from Nintendo.

Realistically, at least for the beginning, I imagine that whenever there isn't a new Switch 2 game in a month, there may still be a major Switch 1 release, even if it's not necessarily a 1st-party game.

@LastFootnote The way you say this, it's almost like you want it to happen.
It's important to have some skepticism, but this level of pessimism is just counter-productive.

I think we should wait to see if they even want/are able to add the DS to NSO before speculating on the 3DS.

@Zeebor15 Not counting the three DS games, there's also Wind Waker and the Wii Channels.

I play much more on TV than outside, so I wouldn't mind a LCD screen - especially if it means it will cost less.

@Dee123 People who still can't let go of how Mario 3D All-Stars was a limited-time release five years ago.

I'm one of those weirdos who kind of hopes they finish porting all (feasible) games before a true new beginning. And it would be nice if it was finally the one with the Battle of 1999.

@Pillowpants Or maybe people can see that there's still a good game behind the performance issues.

Was that "disappointing Pokémon Presents showcase" really necessary?

@Dee123 You'll have to make do with Ridge Racer 64 for now.

Seriously, they have just announced it.

Working on the Scarlet/Violet dex for the shiny Meloetta was a fun exercise, but I'm bowing out for these two - since they require one of the DP remakes, which I have no interest in getting (unless it was free or dirt cheap).
Now I wonder if they might actually do one for Sword/Shield.

Going from some comments here, I feel that there should be a third category for scoring for things that aren't outright good or bad, such as details open to subjective opinion (like game length, complexity and difficulty), trigger warnings and the occasional joke.

@PikminMarioKirby ... I don't understand the logic here.

Octopath II is pretty interesting in that you can not only steal discreetly from people, but also outright mug them out of their belongings... though you can also be a paragon and either buy those items directly or - provided you have a high enough level - just ask nicely for them.

I was worried the second game wouldn't reach as many people due to certain divisive opinions about the first one, but I'm glad to see the series is doing well - especially with the information coming from SE, which tends to have pretty high expectations for game sales.

@Mariotag For what it's worth, the original version of SotN is available on Xbox, so there's that.

@Mariotag Worst-case scenario, I think this only applies to the Dracula X Chronicles (specifically the 3D remake of Rondo and the redub of SotN).

It's pretty interesting how in the ceremony where no Nintendo game won an award, the most Nintendo-like game took the big prize. And it's well deserved.
