@Kang81 @olliemar28 I already have one; pre-ordered last day of February and it arrived September 11th and tbh I really like it. Was just asking about an NL review because as a fan I'd like to see more publicity and reviews for it. NintendoLife has a large audience and they reviewed the OG Satisfye grip back on 2018 so this also seems like a logical step for Switch 2.
Anyway, @Kang81 sorry you you don't like the case. It is larger than their S1 offerings it's true; the console is so much bigger though. IDK for me it's perfect but I hope you find a grip and case combo that work for you m8.
@olliemar28 thanks for a good review here and for considering my suggestion to look into Satisfye. 😊

This seems decent, but I still prefer the Satisfye grip and case bundle. Any chance you'll be reviewing that soon? Satisfye's products are always top tier.

Lol @ the 13 people buying PS4s 😂

@FantasiaWHT lol 😂 that's awesome. I thought maybe "Yakuza"...?

Forgive an ignorant question, but does anyone know what the "YA" stands for?

I have the game and don't hate it, but as time passes I find it more and more difficult to care about this game. I was going to comment this hours ago but didn't want the first comment to be me saying I don't care about the game. It's early days for Switch 2 and great games are coming.

Just like the first DXM, I tried the demo once and have never picked it up again. I want to like this franchise so bad but there's something about it that not clicking with or grabbing me. Oh well. Back to waiting for the next Xenoblade.

@Rpg-lover I know that's probably what the brands wants but that's not how our letters work.

@Hee-ho-master Is it still turn-based?

Downloaded and played through the first few scenes and it was very meh. I'd also tried the demo of the first game and was unimpressed then, never ending yo buying the full first game. After last night's experience, wherein I was wishing I were playing XCX:DE instead because it's better in every way, I'll be skipping the full game for Titanic Scion too, which is a real shame as I'd been looking forward to this. But between the hanky unintuitive controls and poorly explained gameplay mechanics, it'll be easy for me to skip and go back to waiting for the next Zelda or MonolithSoft game. 🤷 I do hope those who get into this game do genuinely enjoy it and that it sells well and makes its target audience happy. I am just obviously not the target audience.

Nope. Lots of reasons why, but they boil down to it just doesn't excite me. 🤷
That and I am still very much stuck into Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition. It runs slightly smoother on S2 without as many frame rate hiccups and the dynamic resolution seems to trend more toward the higher end, but I still hope for a Switch 2 upgrade or patch. What an amazing and dense game. I'm so psyched for MonolithSoft's inevitable Switch 2 project.

@Cia I mostly agree with your rankings, though I'd bump XC1 up to a 10, 2 up to a 7, and XCX is another solid 10 for me. What an absolute masterpiece of a series, and I can't wait to see what MonolithSoft can so with Switch 2's power.

Great review PJ and thanks for the laughs.

@WiltonRoots 100%, it's ridiculous, video games are supposed to be escapism, not more conflict and negativity.
Switch 2 is awesome so far. Life is good. 😎

@Mr_Zurkon I'd also wish for a north marker on the mini-map, and more precise positioning when viewing the large map.

This is good news. Their previous rumored Zelda would have bombed the film. Having not heard of either of these two actors is a massive win for the fans and gives me a little hope this might turn out entertaining. At this point I am (very cautiously) starting to be optimistic.

@PikminMarioKirby I know exactly what you mean and I couldn't agree more.

@Nua Cheers! I'll definitely look into that! 😁

@ThatOnePenguin Or... Nintendo could clean up their eshop so it doesn't scroll like an anime Victoria's Secret catalog. 🤷

@Spider-Kev 1. Shouldn't have to!
2. My loving room TV is clearly visible from the sidewalk in front of my house... Neighbors are allowed to be there!
3. I'm from a coastal US state; of course I've been to the beach. If you don't understand there's a clear difference between bikinis at a beach and overtly disproportionate half naked anime mammaries on a TV screen, you and I are just not going to agree on this. To each their own man; obviously we have different morals.
4. You go do your life however you want, and stop trying to convince me that nudity and indecency are OK to be thrust in my face when scrolling the eshop. I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. I'd ask you..
Why are you ok with it? It's kinda weird man.

@Spider-Kev No, not all censorship needs to stop. They need to lock the h*****i content and giant anime mammaries behind an age check, and give those of us older than 18 the option to not display those titles. Again, I browse the eshop on my 55" living room TV and shouldn't have to worry if passersby happen to glance in my window. People are nosey, and I don't want dcyf called on me because I'm browsing the eshop and Nosey Nancy down the street knows we have kids in the home. It's a video game console, not an adult website; we shouldn't be forced to scroll through that type of content. I'm all for freedom of speech and agree that excessive censorship is bad, however, what about freedom of discretion?

Hard pass due to the Playstation analog stick placement. :::sigh:::: Why couldn't they make one with the Nintendo stick positions?

@KoopaTheGamer My kids are 9 and 10. They should be able to browse the eshop. Additionally, I as an adult should also be able to browse the shop without giant anime mammaries all over my living room TV. The freedoms I as a parent allow my children aren't really the issue here, and I'd appreciate it if you could refrain from attempting to frame the situation as though they are.

If we could just get a "h*****I" filter please; my kids use the eshop sometimes and it's entirely inappropriate for kids to see those thumbnails.

This isn't my game series anyway, but I'm just going to say if the choice is ever between digital only or game key-card/code-in-a-box (aka no real physical), I'm probably just skipping the game entirely.

@Jack_Goetz That and MonolithSoft's new project are what I'm most hyped to see from Switch 2. Being on that sweet Xenoblade awesomeness Nintendo.

Working on my endgame build in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, making my way through the Grand Prix cups and Knockout Tours in Mario Kart World, enjoying the Hypersonic cups in Fast Fusion, and getting in some Split Shot Heatseeker in Rocket League. Might also throw BotW in and find some more koroks, and No Man's Sky just because it's such a visual treat on Switch 2 now. Happy gaming weekend everyone!

@rushiosan Extra waste in the landfills and more hassle for me the end user? No thanks. Rechargeable batteries or hard pass from me. Your experience may differ, but I do NOT want to have to swap out double-As all the time...or ever lol. Nah, Switch 2 Pro Controller is awesome so far, and a teardown channel disagreeing with me doesn't budge my opinion. It works perfectly for my purposes as a gamer and that's all I need it to do.

@Charmiley Even if (or though) it is a giant publicity stunt, some charity is going to get over $100K. I don't mind companies doing this kind of thing for attention. Dumb or not, a needy charity is still getting a huge donation. Seems like a net positive to me. 🤷

@Anti-Matter That will have exactly 0% to do with whether Switch 2 is successful or not. We get it; you hate game-key cards. To each their own. I'm not a huge fan either, but they're better than a code in a box. At the end of the day, the broader casual market will decide, not randomers on internet fansites. You have to remember, you and everyone else on NintendoLife and other sites, reading the daily news and leaks and paying close daily attention to this, none of us are the mainstream audience. We're enthusiasts. Enthusiasts aren't the biggest market so platform holders don't target us. They target the mainstream, largest possible audience. Most people don't care about physical. 🤷 Most people just want good games at a fair price, which is what we're getting now.

@BrokenCiv You're missing out. For every person like you stubbornly refusing to give it a chance because you think you "deserve" it for free, there's someone like me out there gleefully undermining your argument by buying it happily as a tech nerd. You're not changing anything with your position; you're just denying yourself a fun experience. To each their own I guess, but it's been a month and it seems like it's about time to let this go, at least enough to not comment whenever this game has an article.
Good day. 😊

@JungleATK 100% and well-said. @RupeeClock, read the above user's comment. Your rationale for defending review bombing makes no sense, and I still emphatically disagree with your position here. Again, to each their own, you do you, and all that, but to me review bombing = adults throwing whiny tantrums.

@RupeeClock @LEGEND_MARIOID Sorry Rupee, I disagree. Review bombing is not a legitimate means of "speaking dissatisfaction" because it is by definition dishonest. If one is so upset about the update to online that the game gets a 0/10, that is axiomatically a dishonest review. The game is objectively not a 0/10, and the review bomber has just lost all intellectual credibility by trying to claim that it is simply due to a subjective preference with online play. Sorry, I do not agree with the premise of your statement. Upset about online course selection = 3, maybe 4 points off the score at most. So yes, a 0/10 is disinformation, no question. There are other, more effective ways of "speaking dissatisfaction" and legitimizing review bombers is definitely not helping the general state of online discourse, which is already pretty bad in most corners of the internet.

Hoping for some free updates for the Xenoblade games. At this point, I'd love the "hidden 60 fps mode" to be available on Switch 2. I'd never pay for a Switch 2 Edition of XC2 because that game was enough to suffer through once, but I am beyond psyched for MonolithSoft's eventual next game. Their gamemaking skills and creativity plus very capable hardware is, I believe, going to blow people's minds.

This could be free and I wouldn't be interested in wheelchair basketball. Seems very off to me. But for those thay are psyched for this, I'm happy it's a reasonable price for their sake. Unless you think $20 is too much, in which case I absolutely agree.

@NielsNL Oh, we didn't need this game though. It's kinda cringey.

Nope; holding off for my Satisfye grip and case, which should be here toward the end of next month. It'll be worth waiting for.

I've enjoyed my Switch 2 so far, screen and all. Also, a 120 hz, HDR, VRR-capable Oled screen isn't a thing in all practical terms right now, so I wouldn't hold my breath for a Switch 2 Oled.

@Crimson_Ridley Matt Berry talking about any video games would be hilarious! 😂

Zagg InvisibleShield screen protector, lifetime warranty, super easy installation. I used them on my S1 OG and Oled, the wife's Animal Crossing S1, both kids' S1s, and my Switch 2. I don't understand why anyone would ever choose not to use a screen protector.

Not really; I'm looking forward to the next proper direct. DK is cool, but when is Metroid Prime 4 coming out? What's MonolithSoft been working on? What games are coming out the next several months, including third party titles? There are lots of questions.

@Rijzebrew I just checked out your video, and I'm sorry your S2 smears like that. Mine does not do that. If the rumors of 2 different panel sources with different quality levels have any truth to them, maybe you got the poorer quality one. Might be worth checking with your retailer for an exchange.

I have both and am not fussed. The higher resolution and much larger size of the S2 screen plus HDR make it so I can't really feel it as a "downgrade," for my eyes anyway. Things like this are very subjective. Again, I'm happy with S2 so far. It's everything I wanted a Switch successor to be: a bigger, more powerful Switch.

Also, as others have said, a 1080p, 120hz, VRR-capable OLED with HDR doesn't really exist for all practical purposes, and I shudder to think of what a Switch 2 with such a screen would cost. Suffice to say people would complain more than they already are about pricing. 🤷

Still hoping for an update to XCX:DE...

User klutziness is not the manufacturers fault. Anyone who dislikes finger pain would be wise to practice self-preservation and be careful. It's not difficult to avoid this happening, and I fully believe it's user error each and every time, people not paying attention and being careless.

@JokerCK As many others have already said, Series X = "between PS4 and PS5" so curious what exactly you don't believe? You basically reiterated what KT said.

This is good news; why are so many people on here being so negative about it? Man we just can't have nice things without some people wanting to ruin them can we? Switch 2 is awesome and obviously quite capable. Sorry if that's "triggering" for some people.

Hoping for a 120 FPS mode, at least for handheld. This game is so great so far.
