1. PS5 disc size is max 100GB. Additional download is even required for games that are larger than that. Should also be acceptable for S2.
2. Bigger card sizes increase the retail price even more. Not many publishers would opt for a >64GB card size because this would hurt sales. Additional download is the way.
3. Game key cards are probably the cheapest for publishers. For consumers that want to resell, this is also possible.

@BTB20 So what you imply is that this NL article's claim is build on quicksand, right?

5M Switch 2 consoles vs 17M Switch 1 consoles at launch of Bananza and Odyssey resp.
If Bananza sold nearly half of Odyssey at launch, it sells better actually.

Sorry but it's no hinting, OG joycon is there for reference in the patent.
But S2 pro controller is there! It needs to act as mouse controller as well, so you can 'break' the S2 pro controller in two.

Smaller cases than Switch1 would not stand out in the retail shelf. Same size would confuse the customer (Wii-WiiU learnings).
So bigger size is a waste of plastic but the most logical choice.
I love physical, but downloads actually are the more sustainable choice.

This trailer just validated the leaks. It had to, before more damage could be done.
On the concept itself, N has probably enough $ to cover for a lesser Switch generation, although investments keep on rising and risks are getting higher. With S2 everybody knows what to expect, just like PS5. Only Xbox tends to mess up their product names.

The new design provides for better emotions to be displayed.
Although it reminds of Blooper from Mario Sunshine.

@HammerGalladeBro
Spot on!

I'm with you. People like to crunch the numbers to compare devices but that is not working. Also expecting that the visual fidelity is way better than last generation. PS5Pro is failing to deliver substantial improvement, so what are we talking about. Nintendo is always about fun.

@Diowine
Switch2, controllers without drift, buy one, buy them all .. buy them all .. buy them all ..
<@all which game intro was this?>

@Lord
The feeling of stepping away is due to the fact that Nintendo's hardware releases are async now with the other vendors.

Plz ask Hideki Kamiya what his opinion is about piracy. Looking forward to his answer.
Kamiya is right in the sense that this leaker had its 5 min of fame to compensate for the emptiness in its life, which is a narcissistic act that drives Nintendo's wagon in the poop. Not very motivating for all the hundreds of people that work on preparing the launch and causing a 'seen that' effect on the audience.
I see some reactions on the graphic quality of the Mario Kart footage. My advice: plz go for the RTX5090 and allows us to have fun with it for only 20% of the price.

Yes, give it a pointer. In multiplayer scenario where each player needs a canvas to move the joycon around, this might be take some preparation.

@BlackenedHalo
That is the effect of all the leaks you viewed beforehand.

Better wait for a Better better eShop.
When you feature a review system, why not being able to filter on the score? Current problem is that little diamonds don't flow to the surface.

@RainbowGazelle
Do you realise what it takes to setup, host and support a service like that? Professionally, with all bells and whistles.
I applaud Pretendo for pulling this service out of their sleeves, but it needs funds to survive.

@Maxime
Understand your reasoning on the competitive communities.
As I still play DS games on the WiiU from the eshop. I wished that the subscription ecosystem was already in place back then, so I only had to pay for it once and could play on Switch now.

@RainbowGazelle
N is warning, not dictating right? They warn you for directing your hardware to an online service they have no control over and cannot protect you. This P service exists because of an exploit, which could make you vulnerable if you decide to use the P service. The question is, do you trust P?

Getting closer to S2 announcement! Cleaning up the display.

Looking forward to SuperNeoSprint!
Just watched a preview video, hope they are going to fix the start as with 8 cars the first corner is really messy. A longer stretched start grid with 2 cars next to each other would provide more chance not to have a pile of cars.

Expecting remakes/follow-up for SW1:

• Kid Icarus 3DS
• Chibi-Robo
• Rhythm Heaven
• Yoshi title

Zelda remakes and F-Zero feel better positioned on SW2.

That Mighty Peach has big Samus Peach vibe.

If the controller are fixed (Switch Lite) you lose the backwards compatibility of the titles using it.

Touch still working?

Would definitely be a good plan to have this as a launch title for Switch2.

Wish it could run within a VR set.

A camera. Present on DSi, 3DS, WiiU.
Come back to me AR.

Lovely, looking forward to it. Still had to finish it.

Good to see that there are a lot of remakes.
Which means that the experienced teams are working on titles for the Switch2.

Great remake! Must buy (physical).
After this remake, a Paper Mario - 2000 year door plz?

@Daoogrthmle
Play Asia has them on pre-order. Amazon.co.jp as well but is domestic delivery only.

Funny, love the idea. However I'm not a fan of the 'paws' at the bottom.

Awesome! Must buy.
Looks like the blue pikmin is pictured as drowning. Doesn't make sense.

I have every CoD for GameCube, Wii, WiiU and a couple on NDS.
Those twisted political statements are for confusing the court.

Looking good! 2 days to go before the demo.
Love how maturely Steve Watts of Gamespot is framing this to be a children's game, grow up man!

Sweet, 3 more days before we can feel how it plays with the Unreal Engine and Switch controllers.
taaaa-ta-da-ta-taaaaaaa

@JONOFTHEJONS
Most likely Unreal 4. If it is Unreal 5, which supports Switch, the team (Feel-Good) probably have switched engines mid development.

Can't wait! To prep:
Pikmin 1 & 2 new play control on Wii
Pikmin 3 Deluxe on Switch
Hopefully Bingo Battle and other competitive games are to become online play in Pikmin 4.

Come on Nintendo, Capcom, every publisher on the 3DS & WiiU!
Support Europe, have a sale and take my Euro's

So streaming cloud version with aim, shoot and miss, because of the latency.

Squire ... as in Square (-Enix).

Would be surprised if they don't take the (marketing) opportunity to release a game along with it.

Then why would the TLOZ Champions 4 Amiibos (Ravi, etc) not be reprinted?
They also offer Amiibo NFC cards.
Not very reliable imho.

@Bunkerneath
Keep on walking and exchange the coins for the missing tiles.
Buy more 3DS's and carry them with you and exchange tiles to complete it.
There should be 63 puzzles to collect:

Really well done!
Am afraid however that the set will be too large and expensive.

Advance wars 1+2+dual strike.
Pikmin 3.
Simply because there are no successors available yet.

@dil_power I expect in April when the Mario movie comes out.

@Cheez Because someone did the research and concluded that these games have a good fit with the Switch audience, which keeps on growing to a number that almost every release has a viable chance of at least to break even.

Bingo Battle online plz!

PIKMIN! Hooray.
Even Zelda TotK had more footage than Pikmin 4.
Excited for both!

@supermonkey42
Power/Ultra smash stops were breaking the flow in Mario Tennis, so use it wisely.
