Game key cards are great because they help out people on lower incomes via the ability to trade them in. So I for one support them. Personally though, would never trade in but hey.
@nhSnork Sorry what I mean is like a controller with a screen! I'd love it if you could connect your Switch screen to a game running on Switch 2 and use it as like a map or something.
It's a great system to be fair. Really feels like Switch-Pro in a good way: breathes a lot of life into old games. I'd still take my Switch to travel with though: it's cheaper and smaller.
I hope they can turn the OG Switch into a controller or something though to retain its usefulness over the medium-term.
If there's one thing you can guarantee about Nintendo it's that they won't sell you the products you want. They've probably just patented this so they can try to use it to sue.
It's a shame, given it's abundantly clear by this point that releasing new consoles is a dud: you could release a new DS game and there'd be a sizable market ready to go.
All hackers are really telling you is that they're unable to control themselves, have zero patience and no moral compass. It's not a good look.
It's the same for the people spreading it.
It's the worst when these things happen, then you go on X and it's the first thing you see. Just who wants that shoved in their face? It's a good reason to quit social media and stop reading certain outlets (or their comment sections).
Sounds cool to me. Like those ultra beast worm holes in sun and moon. However, announcing dlc with the game is odd — is it not a full game they are selling?
Call me a loser, but I have been excited for this game on Switch 2. It seems like the definitive way to play for me: even if performance isn't perfect.
It'll be like a Switch 2 without Nintendo games. Who will want it? The criminals already have a Steam deck. I suppose the Playstation posse will be happy though - definitely good to give Nintendo some competition too.
I've got 4GB internet which tends to clock around 1-5-2GB (waste of money) but the games take much longer to download than something comparable on my pc!
Some of the responses from these depraved companies are beyond laughable: like the claim that they protect players from the dangers of private servers by not making them available.
I don't hold out hope on the EU to do the right thing, though. At best they will spend 8 years debating a new body of legislation which is overly complex and obsolete soon after being implemented: if it ever is.
@Truegamer79 I took the dive and it's amazing! Been umming and aahhing about the game on PC for a while, but the switch version sold me. It's a lot better than I expected. I hope the same goes for you too, enjoy
It's pretty obvious there's more DK stuff coming once Bananza is out because DK and Pauline only have two costumes a pop. Where's the rest of the DK crew too? In the DLC my friend, in the DLC.
In hindsight, the DK reskin reveal in the initial MK World trailer was a harbinger of things to come. So I'm wondering if Diddy might get his own game too? But more likely it was to keep things consistent in the DK universe.

What a group of deplorable cretins. I hope they get their just desserts!
Re: Nintendo's "Mysterious" Switch Online Playtest Program Gets Another Patent
We've all seen the screens of it - isn't it obvious it's a reskinned Pokopia? They must have reskinned it to keep it secret.
Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
@Dazman So far though, just have MK World, Cyberpunk 2077 and Street Fighter on Switch 2.
Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
I drop on games all the time. Mostly retro games these days but sometimes a new one comes along that's worth it: like Factorio or Baldur's Gate 3.

Atari have been going from strength to strength lately, this is definitely good news because Ubisoft has really fallen into the gutter.

Re: Review: Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV - A Fantastic Addition To An All-Time Party Game
Got to admit, the 'upgrade' just seems like a way to upsell the other products - like the camera, extra joycons etc - so I'll be steering clear.
On its own, Jamboree is a great Mario Party though!
