I usually am on board with damning things because of the price, but come on - a special edition controller costing 10 bucks more than the regular one seems...normal. They couldn't sell it for less than the ordinary black one, could they?
@Nintendolife, I just absolutely love the feature "Your Local Time" you've implemented for a while now. Even though by now I finally remembered what timezone I'm in, it's still so nice!
I experienced the disconnects as well, not even 3m away from the console. Since I'm using the original HDMI and power cables I don't see how that could have any effect.
My main issue with digital codes in a box was always that they couldnât be resold or lent to friends. Iâm glad this somewhat fixes that problem â but then again, most games that use game key cards nowadays wouldnât have been the typical âcode in a boxâ titles anyway. Plus, it sucks that storage will now fill up much faster.
I like the Wario one, the Captain Toad one is nice and cheap, and Blathers museum looks also good. However the free floating elements just don't do it for me, I'd rather have everything tied together in one solid set. Although I understand they are perfect for playing.
I am SHOCKED how many peeps in here turn off rumble. Didnât know that was a thing. For battery preservation? The pro controller lasts super long anyway, and my joycons attached to the switch donât die.
I was able to preorder without any hassle or stress at a big german online retailer yesterday. Of course I'm wondering if they even know how many consoles they're gonna get or if they're just gambling. I am prepared for a "your delivey will be delayed" mesage along the road, but since I didn't qualify for the 2 years as head of NSO family anyway, I'm glad i did something.

That hurts the most for me. I can wait for game sales, or sell them after playing. But storage is a must, and the express cards are still so new that there is not much diversity on the market yet. The 256GB don't do much, as I'm expecting games to be a bit bigger than the Switch 1 versions.
I think Nintendo should pair this announcement with a general price increase of their games, that would really hit the spot. I admit I borrowed countless games from our local library just to redeem the goldpoints. Must have gotten over 100⏠this way.
It definitely hurt me as a fan a little bit, since the reveal was lacking a bit of a luster for me (is that the saying ? ). The console itself is such a safe bet anyway, would be nice to at least have it heard from nintendo first hand.
While the eshop ist definitely slow, it never bothered me, because I don't browse digital stores. I search for games I actually want, not those that are presented to me. And to broaden my horizon I got news sites like nintendolife. Furthermore, how are people still not exclusively using dekudeals.com is beyond me.
ÂŁ5,531 is really low, isn't it? That's like just a few months pay in a lot of european countries. Looks exciting though, so I'm curious what the dev can do with that money.
@Kidfunkadelic83 I fully expected Wind Waker, but this was a much more pleasant surprise. I mean, if you want you can always get a Wii U for dirt cheap and play Wind Waker HD on there, that's what I did this year anyway.
Would not have expected that "Reselling" would be so low on the poll. That's my whole thing, otherwise I couldn't with good conscience afford all those Nintendo releases.
@Ryan_Again Is "Cern is summoning a portal to hell" like a meme? Because the only actual "ritual" I found was the fake one they did to mock all those people spreading conspiracy theories.
I really liked it. Was big on nostalgia, but it hit me in the right spot. Star Wars BF, Epic Mickey, World of Goo 2, Endless Ocean 3. Coupled with some Indies announcement like the Pepper Grinder release date and Ender Magnolias.
The Xbox games are interesting enough.
@Jalex_64 In the defense of the guy, he only stated that MS (or rather a couple of their execs) is always saying they WANT GP on other platforms like switch. And then they say the exact opposite a few days later.

Re: Standard Micro SD Cards Won't Work On Nintendo Switch 2
That hurts the most for me. I can wait for game sales, or sell them after playing. But storage is a must, and the express cards are still so new that there is not much diversity on the market yet.

Re: Talking Point: Did All The Switch 2 Leaks 'Damage' Nintendo Or The Console's Reveal?
It definitely hurt me as a fan a little bit, since the reveal was lacking a bit of a luster for me (is that the saying ? ). The console itself is such a safe bet anyway, would be nice to at least have it heard from nintendo first hand.
